Speaker 1: episode number thirty four of the Mets Stuff podcast. Of course,

Speaker 1: you got your co hosts. I'm Draftneck Mark Mark with

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: James Sheiano. Jeeter had no range talking about the Cincinnati

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Red series that just happened. What a series, exhausting, tiring,

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: and then it ended with an absolute stinker, but in

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: a good way. In Game three, there is so so

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: much to talk about in this episode, I feel like

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: more than we've really had in the series for the

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: last few because we've been playing the Pirates and before

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: that we had such weird stuff going on here, but

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the Mets somewhat fully healthy, somewhat playing good baseball, interesting stuff,

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: a lot of different storylines going on, so we're gonna

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: go over every single thing that's happening here. We also

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: got some prospect talk, of course, because in the midweek

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: episodes we do our little prospect breakdown in a lot

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: of these guys could be used as trade pieces going

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: forward at the deadline, which we'll talk about in our

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: next episode. So a lot of things to cover and

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: go over in New York Mets Land. Of course, make

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,800

00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: does help out James how we feeling after the Cincinnati

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: Red series, because it's all over the place.

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: I'd say, out of breath is a good way to

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: describe the end of the series. It was really this

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: is the only time I'm gonna use this word to

45
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: describe this series, but it was relaxing that this was

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: the first met series and it feels like a month

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: six weeks where no game was even like threatend of

48
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: being rained out, which was really, really, really nice, even

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: though there were probably two games a series where a

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: rainouts would have been helpful. Whatever, I'm happy we played

51
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: these three games. I'm happy we took a series from

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: the Reds, the series that you lamented on Sunday that

53
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: you were hoping we won one game.

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I saw the guys that were coming

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: out to pitch for us, and I saw what we

56
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: were possibly working with, and I was not feeling particularly excited.

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: And I feel like this just segues perfectly into Game

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: one because one of those guys that was pitching was

59
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: the starter of Game one, and that was our boy,

60
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: Gerad Jared Aikoff, who boil Boy does he stink? I mean,

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: there's just no way around it. He took one for

62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: the team and actually like ate some innings a little

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: bit here, which is what we needed. But boy did

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: he find a way to stink for those innings that

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: he ate. He was horrendous.

66
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: Again. I mean we predicted this game to a t.

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: For all of the really loyal Mets Up listeners out

68
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: there who listened to this episode within like the two

69
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: hour window drop before this game began. This was a

70
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: football game. This was a clear and thorough football game

71
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: that Jets played the Bengals, and there were a lot

72
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: of scoring early.

73
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was a bad football game, and

74
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: it was a.

75
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: Pretty ideals Yeah though two of the worst teams of football. Yeah,

76
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: but it was a pretty awesome baseball game despite being

77
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: just one of the most stressful games I've ever watched.

78
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: Chaos. You said out of breath like it was five

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: hours long, and it felt like it was a week long.

80
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: It felt like a cricket game, which I don't think

81
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: anybody can really relate to. But if I felt like

82
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: I was ever to watch a cricket game, and that's

83
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: what I'd imagine it feels like, because it felt like

84
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: it was forever and it was a marathon, and it

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: was like when is this game gonna end? And who's pitching,

86
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: who's playing. We had Anthony Bonda on the mound at

87
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: one point. I mean, oh my god, even talking about

88
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: it today, I'm gonna get like tired and worked up.

89
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: It was crazy, dude, Jose Piraza broke his finger at

90
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: some point in this game. We don't even know when,

91
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: and no one even batter than I. And there's five

92
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: or ten moments during this game or Jose Pirasa might

93
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: have broken his finger and I could not pinpoint it if.

94
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: I tried well. In Game two, Gary and Ron tried

95
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: to figure it out. They were going over the replays

96
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, I got no idea, no clue

97
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: when he broke his finger, Like it is not evident

98
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: at all. We got a great start from these New

99
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: York Mets. First inning, we put up three runs. It's

100
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: feeling great.

101
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: Quick field goal yep.

102
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: We got Pete Alonzo to run homer after Brandon Nemo

103
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: gets on pace and then Jeff McNeil follows it up

104
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: back to back thirty nothing lead, and we're like, yes,

105
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: we're in Great American Ballpark. It's the biggest bandbox in

106
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: all of baseball. This is a joke of a field.

107
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: We are going to do some damage here. But then

108
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: every Met fan, I think for those about five to

109
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Forgot that Jerad Eikov was on because he

110
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: came out the next inning in immediately gave it right back.

111
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: Gave up more than that, he gave up a touchdown

112
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: in response to the field goal. The Mets were down

113
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: seven to three. Before you could even blink. The first

114
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: quarter was flying by, and we need to put more

115
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: points on the board. I want to talk about our

116
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: bats in that first sitning real quick. That Jeff McNeil

117
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: home run was the cheapest home run I've ever seen

118
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: in my life until today.

119
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you just there's a lot of cheap

120
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: home runs in Sistens Bank Park, Like City Field is

121
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: a pitcher's park for sure, and typically you see the

122
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: ball get out a little bit more. Assistance Bank is

123
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: a first assistance bank. Great American Ballpark, they're both bandboxes.

124
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: Jeff McNeil hit that ball off his fists to straight

125
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: away center field and it just like fluttered over the fence.

126
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: Like especially listening to garyon Ron like watching the monitor,

127
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: so they have a little bit of a second delay

128
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: even from what we're getting on television. He was like,

129
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: Jeff McNeil hits a fly ball at center field and

130
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: it's gone. It's got a little bit of carry on it.

131
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: It's gone. It's gone, Ronnie. Back to back home runs

132
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: for the New York Mess.

133
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: Also funny to note that brand Nemo, who has been hot,

134
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: continues to be hot. He's cooled off a little bit

135
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: in this series, which is ironic because everyone else he

136
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: became calling hit the second hardest ball off his career

137
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 2: in his first inning before the back to back home runs,

138
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: and that moment against Vladir Gulieirez, who stinks, by the way,

139
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: so bad. Gary and ron were ripping him to shreds,

140
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: basically calling him a minor league who doesn't deserve this chance,

141
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: who doesn't he hasn't worked on his craft enough. I

142
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: heard Ronnie say, so Nimmo hit the second hardest ball

143
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: of his career. It just felt like we were gonna

144
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: get the bats going, but keep the keep the hot

145
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: streak rolling. After the Sunday in Pittsburgh, yeah.

146
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean the bats were alive, which was good. It's

147
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: just simply that Gerad screwed us over because he has

148
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: an inability to get any sort of talented player out,

149
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: even untalented players out. He's just very bad and I

150
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: don't like to shit on a guy, especially that's on

151
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: our team. And I'm sure he's trying his best, but

152
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: he's he's in a different group. Like we talked about

153
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Chase Anderson as guys that we could hit. Girod Aikoff

154
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: is a guy.

155
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: Eisen.

156
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: I would bet the family farm that I could get

157
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: a hit on him.

158
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: I don't.

159
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: I've never been more confident about a major league pictuer

160
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: of my life I could get a hit off of.

161
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: I would hold on to that family farm if it's

162
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: overlooking that villa in that that shoreline in your background

163
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: the Painting, Episode two of The Painting.

164
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Still home in New Jersey. No ac in the apartment

165
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: in New York, So no chance I'm being there right now.

166
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: That's too funny.

167
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: Then the Bats stayed half of the Mets. They came

168
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: back with three more runs in the fourth inning and

169
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: four though hit a piss missile Pie Alonzo hit a

170
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: nice bluep was interesting to see a ball that was

171
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: softly hit offlining me who the aras? Because again the

172
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: guy has nothing nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, Oh my god,

173
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: like I had nothing.

174
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: He is one thing. He has one thing. He has

175
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: a cool spider.

176
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: Tattoo on his that is really cool though, that's a

177
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: terrifying tattoo. Then and then the bats stayed hot in

178
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: the fifth inning with Dominic Smith blazing hot. Dominic Smith,

179
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: he listened. He listened to our I don't know, I

180
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: don't even know. I can't have found the word r now.

181
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: He listened to us talking shit about him, and he

182
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: has responded. He has been one of the hottest players

183
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: in all of baseball during July. Crushed the home run

184
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: to tie the game. He had four balls and played

185
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: this game over one hundred miles an hour, one hundred,

186
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: one hundred and four hundred five and one hundred and nine. Screamer.

187
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: That was actually not the home run. It wasn't out,

188
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: But shame on us for doubting Dominic Smith. This guy

189
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: is back in my good graces, Arago graces, the Mets

190
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: good grace is majorly baseball's good graces.

191
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: He is hitting the piss out.

192
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: Of the ball. Yeah. I think his ops is approaching

193
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: a thousand for the month of July, which is really

194
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: really nice. Not that I think it's way over that

195
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: really Oh it's even oh yeah now with the Grand

196
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: Slam probably Yeah.

197
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: He is seven home runs in seventeen games here.

198
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like, that's not obviously a realistic ops

199
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: to expect from Dallas.

200
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: Disgusting that those two numbers seven seventeen, just the Phillies

201
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: the collapse thing from you know, fourteen years ago. I

202
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 2: don't like when those two numbers are together.

203
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: I've blocked that out of my head. That is not

204
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: anything that those numbers mean nothing to me anymore because

205
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: I've had too much trauma with them. But anyway, not

206
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: realistic numbers to expect a DOM. But it's a great

207
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: sign concidering how down in the shit he was and

208
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: saying with Confordo too, who's been playing a lot better recently,

209
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: we were really dogging him, like we're dogging Dom, but

210
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: we've really been on Confordo to the point where it's like,

211
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: don't even play, like, don't even sign him anymore.

212
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: But we were dogging confordough because we know we could

213
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: play better. We dogged Dom and said we probably just

214
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 2: misjudged him, which is way way more disrespectful. So I

215
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: want to give him his due credit because we were mean.

216
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: Sure if we were a little mean to Dome well

217
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: me and the fact that this game sat seven to

218
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: seven a touchdown a piece in the fifth inning, and

219
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: it was so far from over, not not even half, No,

220
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: barely half of the runs had been scored so.

221
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Far, barely. Yeah, I mean it was seven seven going

222
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: into the seventh, and then the Mets get back for

223
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: like this game is. So this was the fifth It

224
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: was seven to seven, I know, but it wasn't it

225
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: still seven to seven going into the seventh or am

226
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: I going crazy? Uh?

227
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: It was the second inning of Castro.

228
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: Castro pitched the sixth the first time, so yeah, the

229
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: seventh it was seven seven and seventh, yeah, he said.

230
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: And then lucky seven's man, although it wasn't because I

231
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: think we gave up the leader right back, which oh

232
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: we did.

233
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 2: This was the classic thing the Mets have been doing

234
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: for the last few weeks where you try to pitch

235
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: Miguel Castro for two innings.

236
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 3: It doesn't work.

237
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: It's not worked once all year.

238
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just a really regular believer. He's proved back

239
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: to being pretty decent in that first inning.

240
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: So it's fine.

241
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: We gat Miguel Castro to just being medium leverage guy again,

242
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: which is very useful.

243
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 3: He'll get back to that spot.

244
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: But it just couldn't do it, guys On and fucking

245
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: Lugo gave up a goddamn double Jesse Winker rap fuck.

246
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: Which is so funny because Lugo looked so broken and

247
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: then he figured it out. So he was like the

248
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: opposite of Castro that was in Lugo second inning. Yes, exactly,

249
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: he was the opposite of Castro. Not great in the first.

250
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: Yes, but before Lugo second inning, King Jows, President Jows,

251
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: Lord Emperor, Supreme Ruler Jows used a Galaxy brain move

252
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: pinch hitting James McCann for Thomas Nito, even though before

253
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: the game he said Thomas Needa was playing because he's

254
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: swinging a hot bat, so this didn't make sense at all,

255
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: and it fucking works. James McCann pinch hit, go ahead

256
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: home run eighth inning. Thank yous, James McCann.

257
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: James McCann had a huge part in this game, and

258
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: it just shows how little this game was far or

259
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: far from over it was, because he still even got

260
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: another at bat later in the game with another big

261
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: RBI hit, Like James McCann was all over this one,

262
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: and this dude didn't even play to start the game.

263
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: Random thing, just to introject here Jr. Me. Mercedes has

264
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: removed everything White Sox from his Instagram and just said

265
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: he might retire.

266
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: Are you serious?

267
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's threatening retirement because I think they sent him

268
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: down and he probably hates Tony Larus because Tony Rus

269
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: ruined him.

270
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah he did.

271
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: You remember I have a new kinship to Armin Mercedes

272
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 2: because remember that tweet that was going around last week,

273
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: like pick the best player boy on your birthday versus

274
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 2: the pitcher who won who the pitch game one of

275
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: the World Series year you graduated high school?

276
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

277
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: Mine was Yerman Mercedes Verus Bumgarner. I'm ass fucked, but

278
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: I have a kinship to him. I feel something from

279
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: Mercedes now that we're birthday bros.

280
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he uh, he's threatening retirement.

281
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: That's insaneity nuts.

282
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, let's get back to this.

283
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: After the monumentally clutch home run to send us ahead,

284
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: just to stay chronological for a second, Lugo really teased

285
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: us with being awful still after he gave up the

286
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: double twinkert the inning before, I believe he walked the leadoff.

287
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: Hither was that his second inning or that was his

288
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: first sitting?

289
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: Second inning.

290
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: He came in his seconding. Remember he went up against

291
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: Vado and he got the call. He was down and

292
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: got that call or whatever it was, and Ron said,

293
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: that might be the pitch that completely turns around the

294
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: Mets season.

295
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's funny that that, like one tiny pitch,

296
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: like one bad umpire's call, can change the whole thing.

297
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: The same thing happened the next night to Neimo. But

298
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: we'll get to that and we get the game two.

299
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: A couple of minutes now, that one pitch changed the

300
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 2: entire bats of Vado. Lugo looked very sharp again, and

301
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: it had us moving into the ninth inning feeling.

302
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. I want to say optimistically negative.

303
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: I didn't feel great, but I also said, like, hey,

304
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: we were down seven three, we came back again, like

305
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: this team has been battling. I can't really get upset

306
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: about this game. But then we saw the ninth inning,

307
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz came in, we had a one run lead.

308
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: And while Edwin Diaz I still think is good. I'm

309
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: not off the Diaz bandwagon.

310
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: I'm not neither.

311
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: There is something fundamentally wrong right now going on mechanically.

312
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: Whatever it was, I think Heffner even said that the

313
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: next like the next day, him and Diaz were apparently

314
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: in the bullpen working on mechanics because Diaz has kind

315
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: of been all over the place with his control and

316
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: if he's the dude doesn't have control, he's really really scary.

317
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: That's bad.

318
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very refreshing to hear before EXTU talk

319
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: about the blown save and why it transpired. It was

320
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: refreshing to hear Rojas and Hefner talk after the game

321
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: and the next day about what's wrong with Diaz.

322
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: It was very new baseball.

323
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: They were talking about the fact that his mechanics, his

324
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: poor mechanics, haven't helped him locate and then he still

325
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: is getting called strikes like that's apparent. But because he

326
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: can't locate as well and get the close bitches, the

327
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: pitches in the shadow, as we've talked about, he has

328
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: not gotten guys to chase, and that's what makes edwin great.

329
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: So it was cool to hear Heffner, who we know is.

330
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: A big analytics guy, and Luis Rojas, whose training comes

331
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 2: from being the quality control coach few years ago, to

332
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: hear them speak very candidly with the media and US

333
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: fans about what is wrong and how they're going.

334
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 3: To fix it.

335
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it was nice to get a little insight

336
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: on it because if you are the average fan, you

337
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: probably watch Edwin Diaz and just think he stinks again.

338
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: But realistically, it's one little issue that is causing him

339
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: to stink right now. But here's what it comes down to. Though,

340
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: as bad as you know, we want to talk about

341
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: das mechanics and stuff like this, the Mets and Dave Jobs,

342
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: who you know, he's our boy, made the conscious decision

343
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: to pay to Jesse Winker instead of Mike Freeman.

344
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 3: Yes, that is true.

345
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: Part of that is because that it's a common sense

346
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 2: thing where there's a man on second, two outs, you're

347
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: up by one run, you don't want to put the

348
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: go ahead run on base.

349
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 3: That is like one of those old baseball things.

350
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: A guy like Dave Jas, who has been in baseball

351
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: for legitimately fifty years, he has actually no, he's been

352
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: in baseball's entire life. He's never left baseball. He had

353
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: a great interview on part of my take. I'm gonna

354
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: plug it again.

355
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: He has never had a job that was not in baseball.

356
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty good.

357
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: It's a dream come true. And I'm sure that he

358
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: even consulted with the coaches about this even as the

359
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: situation was coming up. During this ending, after nae quinn

360
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: had that little dinky ass single to the opposite field.

361
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: Great at bat, great at bat. That was such a

362
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: good at bat that changed the game.

363
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: He is a really solid player who doesn't get a

364
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: lot of respect because he's not flashy, and he's kind

365
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: of been these weird similar platoon roles but two teams

366
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: in Ohio over his entire career, so he's not getting

367
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: a lot of shine. But damn was he had thorn

368
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: in our side this game.

369
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: Especially.

370
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: He's a great defender too. I never realized how much

371
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: of a cannon he has.

372
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: He has a cannon. He does not have great range,

373
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: so he would be like a nice corner guy, which

374
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: of course you have no interest in.

375
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: But of course I'm not talking about for the mess

376
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: in general. He's a nice corner platooner, but you really

377
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: don't want to put the go ahead run on base.

378
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: I understand Mike Freeman's was on deck and Jesse Winker

379
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: is at the plate, so like every shred of logic

380
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: in your brain, like baseball logic would tell you not

381
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: to do it. But if you're a part of this

382
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: game and you have any idea of what's going on

383
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: with the red season this year, the fact that Winker

384
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: is like basically an MVP candidate. If this team was

385
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: performing better, you can't give him a chance to beat you.

386
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: And they gave him a chance to beat him, and

387
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: he had such a lazy single. He just went with

388
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: an outside pitch. It was a really good piece of hitting.

389
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: I'll drop another baseball term. It was a great piece

390
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: of hitting, and it just he beat us. Jesse Winker

391
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: did it again.

392
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: I was hot. I was so hot after that because

393
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: I was just down. Gary was hot. Gary was beside himself.

394
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: Gary hates Jesse. I think Gary, by the way, has

395
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: a special kind of weird hatred for CINCINNTI I don't

396
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: think he actually hates the city, but his roast on

397
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: Skyhill Guy and Chili was one of the funniest things

398
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: he's ever said in my lifetime.

399
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: That I've heard it was.

400
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: It was amazing and round around Twiter. I love when

401
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: the Mets booth gets national media appeal. But I have

402
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: a cool end, not cool. I have a hilarious anecdote

403
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: about Skyline chili from going to college Ohio State in Ohio.

404
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: So I was a sophomore. I just moved off campus.

405
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: So you start to get food for yourself for the

406
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: first time in your life. No more meal plan. I

407
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: was trying to learn how to cook. I wasn't very

408
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: good at it. You had. I was eating out a

409
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: lot of spending a lot of money.

410
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: A new friend who had made on my block shout

411
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: out Matt McClain, Ross's roommate Ross, causing me the bed nars.

412
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: He said, there's this great chili place around here. You

413
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: gotta come. I like chili.

414
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: I make chili all the time. I was like, oh,

415
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: I'd love to. I'd love to come get chili with you.

416
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: Sure bonding experience. I think it's gonna take me to

417
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: an actual like place, like either like a hole in

418
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: the wall or like an actual restaurant. There was gonna

419
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: be like a chili special or like they had good chili.

420
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: And it takes me to this strip mall, like six

421
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: miles off campus.

422
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: I was like, this is weird. I don't like this

423
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 3: at all. Open the door. I'm like, oh, this looks awful.

424
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: And I see these gigantic vats of shit colored meat

425
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: and beans just down the line. I was like, okay,

426
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: maybe that's okay. I don't know what's gonna be like.

427
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: And then he's like, i'll order for you.

428
00:16:59,000 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: I was like a fuck.

429
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: And then he says something three way, five ways, some

430
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: type of sex sexual innuendo. And suddenly they put spaghetti

431
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: on my dish and covered in chilis, and I was like,

432
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: what the fuck just happened?

433
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: And for an Italian like O, that's like sacriligious.

434
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: SACRILEGI it's awful. I say over and over again, you

435
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: say more than me. I'm not on any male. For

436
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: that moment, I did feel any mole because I had

437
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: to be polite to him. I was gonna be like,

438
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: this is putrid. I had to eat most of it.

439
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: And you know a restaurant is bad when you walk

440
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: out the door and they're handing you coupons for free

441
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: entrece and the second I walked out of it, they

442
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: were like free cony free, two way, free, three way free,

443
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 2: five way. I'm like, is this a brothel? Is this

444
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: a brothel that rant as well deserved for everyone who's

445
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: had it, It's awful.

446
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: I've never had it. I have a sense of stomach.

447
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: It seems like I shouldn't. I have a feeling that

448
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: Gary had a bad, bad case of the runs when

449
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: he ate it. It felt like he had a personal

450
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: vendetta against Skyline.

451
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: I beg Gary had the exact same instance happened to

452
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 2: him as I did. Where you don't know who it

453
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: is and someone tells you they have a place they like,

454
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: because every single person in the southern Ohio area is

455
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: completely like infective with Stockholm syndrome. With Skyline Chili, they

456
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: think it's this incredible food, delicious, delightful, bring their family,

457
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: their children, they eat, they let children eat that food.

458
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: I wouldn't give that.

459
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: To my dog.

460
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even think about it. So I'm sure someone

461
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: told him they had this cool chili place and he went.

462
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 3: And he was like, what the fuck is this?

463
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it just looks like slop, but anywo.

464
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: Slop with raw onions and way too much redgyese, that's awful.

465
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 3: So it's totally bad.

466
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: Now back to the ninth inning year. After we talked

467
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: about Skyline Chili for a couple of minutes.

468
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah have to you're in Cincinnati.

469
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, bad, We pitched the Winker bad. Gary was mad.

470
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: I was mad. It just seemed like everybody in the

471
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: entire world except the New York Mets figured you walk

472
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker again. If Mike Freeman, who's like a career

473
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: one thirty hitter with a five twenty ops, beats us,

474
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: holy shit, wasn't our night. Congratulations Mike Freeman. There's your

475
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: one moment in Major League Baseball. But I will take

476
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: my odds with five fielders that Mike Freeman's not going

477
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: to get a hit. We don't need all eight guys

478
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: out there put five, and I think Mike Freeman gets

479
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: out most of the time. So that was super, super frustrating.

480
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: I understand, like you said with Jows, you don't put

481
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: the tiger on on first base, but I mean, it's

482
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: the classic. It's like the classic when we played the

483
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: Marlins back in the day. You can't let John Carlos

484
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: stan and beat you. The Mets let Jesse Winker beat them.

485
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I was just I was just

486
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 3: playing Devil's Adki for the sake of the podcast, I.

487
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 2: Want to try and reason with Dave Jos, a guy

488
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: who's literally been coaching baseball for fifty years.

489
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: You know you understand his thought process and like, really,

490
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Edwin should get Jesse

491
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: Winker out again. Like as a pitcher, you still have

492
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: the massive advantage here.

493
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I mean, or any of the other

494
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: guys this inning. You just don't walk the leadoff man again,

495
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: Like any of these things can happen to not do this.

496
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: But I don't want to say Edwin spiraling, but he's

497
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: definitely going through it right now. I almost wouldn't have

498
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: hated him getting the ninth inning today, but I guess

499
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: we can get to that when it happens, just so

500
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: we can get an inning and just like feel okay,

501
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: just get the monkey off his back. But let's get

502
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: to xtra innings here, because this was another succession of

503
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: heart attacks in of itself.

504
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Anthony Bonda made his New York Mets debut.

505
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: This was an actually formerly highly touted prospect of some sorts,

506
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: and you could.

507
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: Feel that because his stuff isn't awful through ninety five.

508
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: I thought he was. I thought he was gonna sit

509
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: eighty eight from the left side, correct, Yeah, from the

510
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: left side. I thought he was gonna come out with

511
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: like nothing, And it was just gonna be like he

512
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: has an arm that could pitch. But I feel like

513
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Bonda if like I mean, the Rays tried him out,

514
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: the Giants had him at two points. Those are two

515
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: teams right now that if anybody's interested them in pitching,

516
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: you circle them and take a look, because that means

517
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: there's something there. But obviously it didn't work out.

518
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: Those two teams both have such deep bullpens. I can

519
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 2: understand it not working out. Like I think Anthony Bonda

520
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: could not like be a piece for the Mets, but

521
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: I think he can definitely throw meaningful innings the rest

522
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: of this season. He we we got one run the tenth,

523
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: which we set over and over again, and then an

524
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: extra inning rules that's basically a tie, Like you can't

525
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 2: get one run expect to win. McCann got a clutch

526
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: base hit, as we alluded to after Confordo moved him

527
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: over with a ground pulling ground ball the first base.

528
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 3: That's fine.

529
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: I was shitting myself because I think McCann was down

530
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: like oh two were one two very quickly in this

531
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: a bet. I was like, we're gon get aroun We're

532
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: gonnaet a row were I can get a row and

533
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: I can.

534
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: Get a run.

535
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: And I've had that running argument with one of our

536
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: friends for weeks now. It's been going on about the

537
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: who has the advantage in nextra endings the home team

538
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: of the road team. Clearly the road team. Good saying again,

539
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: but if you don't score a run, it's obviously a

540
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: home team.

541
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: Because that makes perfect sense.

542
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: And being up only one run, they were immediately men

543
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: on for the Cincinnati Reds because you have the ghost runner,

544
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: and the Reds got a guy home. And then somehow

545
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: Anthony Bond had just cartwheeled out of trouble.

546
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: He just he made big pitches, he stepped up, he

547
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: put his big boy pants on, and he took them

548
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: for this team. Anthony Bonda almost joined by jersey collection

549
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: this week or this week because this game was chaos,

550
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: and when chaos happens with the New York Mets, I

551
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: put out tweets that I will buy jerseys of anybody.

552
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: I did it with Jason Vargas when he beat the

553
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: Yankees a couple of years ago. I did with Todd

554
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: Fraser when he hit the home run against the Phillies

555
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I was feeling the same

556
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: juju here. I was like, whoever, somehow finishes this game

557
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: for the New York Mets. I'm getting the jersey. I

558
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: was really hoping it was Anthony Bonda. Ended up being

559
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Trevor May and he called me out on Twitter for

560
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: not getting it yet. So that's been purchased now. But uh, yeah,

561
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: I think Bonda stepped up. Man.

562
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 3: He was really, he was not.

563
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he was great because I

564
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: think that would be lying.

565
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: Oh he was fine, he was.

566
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: Fine, but he kept us right there.

567
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: Fine is a remarkable place for a Mets pitcher to

568
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: be after this last seven games, six games.

569
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,239
Speaker 1: I would love to I don't know if he can.

570
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: I'd love to see him pitch over Gerrod iikoff at

571
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: any moment.

572
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't even think Gerard's part of the organization anymore.

573
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: So. Yeah, he's been dfaight, but he circles, he'll circle

574
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: his way back. Who's taking him?

575
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: I don't think he was claiming him.

576
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: No.

577
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: And then Anthony Bond almost got a hit too.

578
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: I also wanted to bring that up. He actually looked

579
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 3: pretty good up there.

580
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: He smacked the ball down the line left when.

581
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: The lefty pitcher hits right you're like, oh, there's something here.

582
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: Almost got it. He almost got a hit right to

583
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: au Hadeo.

584
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that play I think would have held more more

585
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 2: importance in our minds after the game if we didn't

586
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: explode afterwards, because that was very interesting that brand Nemo

587
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: just took off the second thing, the ball was hit.

588
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 3: The third base.

589
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: That was not a great play. That was the first

590
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: heads up defensive play you Heno Suarez ha ever made.

591
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: I think the thing with Brandon nim taking off there

592
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: is that you're like, yes, it goes first and third

593
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: now and says second and third. But I think that

594
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: would he was too far off the bag already where

595
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: if he didn't go it could have been like a

596
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: quick like tag double play kind of thing if he

597
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: went back, because Anthony Bonda, of course isn't probably beating

598
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: out of throat at first when he hits the ball

599
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: that friggin hard. So no, I actually don't think it

600
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: was bad base running. I think it was unlucky base running.

601
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't say it was bad.

602
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: I just said that that would have we would have

603
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: looked at that play been like shit if we only

604
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: ended up scoring one run. But of course we didn't

605
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: because Kevin Polar Wendyabo like two pitches, lay the and

606
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: then can.

607
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: Four the bang back to back. We went back to

608
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: back twice in this game.

609
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: We've only done that once all season beforehand, and it

610
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: included Mason Williams.

611
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, go figure. Shout out to my dad for calling

612
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: the Kevin Pillar home run. It cut to commercial break.

613
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: They brought in Ryan Hendricks or whatever. He comes back

614
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: and he goes calling it, and you know, next pitch

615
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: bang and I was like, I just like got up

616
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: out of the chair, just started like beating the shit

617
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: out of my dad. I was. I was so pumped.

618
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: I was also delirious because I've watched the baseball game

619
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: for five hours.

620
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, by this point in the game, I think everyone watching, playing, announcing,

621
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: probably people in the stands were all equally delirious. I

622
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: couldn't even like, I couldn't even figure out what was happening.

623
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: I was like confused, like the lights were flashing, I

624
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: couldn't see straight.

625
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 3: It felt like farther ago.

626
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: Multiple people on Mets Twitter, including ourselves, scooted out. Can't breathe,

627
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: We're ever ventilating.

628
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 2: Like this when McCann hit the home run, just tweet

629
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: that gibberish. That was really all I was thinking.

630
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I think from the messed up account too. I

631
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: think I just put out like because I was.

632
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: We did it, thank god.

633
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: We also got multiple runs because the Reds challenged in

634
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: the bottom of the eleventh somehow Trevor May was available,

635
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 2: so we used Anthony Bonza before Trevor May, which is

636
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 2: an interesting, interesting tactic. Then Nick Castianos have bats and

637
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: to shiver down my spine.

638
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: If Nick Castiano's hand was not broken or whatever it is,

639
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: that is twenty grows deep brand rest because his hand

640
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: like literally was barely on the bat, and when you

641
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: saw the ball hit the bat in slow motion, you're like, oh,

642
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: I can feel the pain in that broken hand like

643
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: he is he is trying his hardest to have no

644
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: contact with it, and it just it made it a

645
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: thousand times ogun play the rest.

646
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: Of the series.

647
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, lots of credits and Nick seas for showing up

648
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: their hurt because he was the last position player unused

649
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: at this point in the game, and he was stalking

650
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: up and up across the dugout for like three innings.

651
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 2: He was dying to get at bat in this home

652
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: run Derby the football game. He really wanted to get

653
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: out there make a play. Luckily, it probably kept him

654
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: out the rest of the series, which is awesome for

655
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: the Mets.

656
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, him out of the lineups, awesome, but great win

657
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: by the New York Mets. Awesome, awesome win in a

658
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: game that they had no business winning, really like they

659
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: did at for like five minutes and then they got

660
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: rid of it immediately. They had no business winning this game.

661
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: And the Mets, this team has shown some grit over

662
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: the last three or four days, four games, whatever you

663
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: want to call it. This is the New York Mets

664
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: team we're expecting to see now. Of course, the offensive

665
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: numbers are going to be, you know, inflated because we're

666
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: playing in Cincinnati, but they were having good at bats.

667
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: They were showing what they at like the talent that

668
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: this team had. It was really nice to see. Now.

669
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: On the other hand, here game two, we went up

670
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: against the Mets' biggest ryptonite, which is a soft tossing

671
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: left handed pitcher in Wade Miley, and we kind of

672
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: just didn't do much.

673
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 2: No.

674
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: Wade Miley kind of made them look stupid.

675
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: He's a guy who can't get anybody to strike out,

676
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: and the Mets struck out eight times, or a season

677
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: high against him. Good dude, throw no hitter didn't strike

678
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: out that many batters.

679
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: It's pretty embarrassing. He He's just a lot.

680
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: This is something that garyan ron Keith talk about a lot.

681
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: Most of baseball right now is a lot of throwers.

682
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: Wade Miley's one of the last pitchers where he will

683
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: attack hitters with a plan, like he will use different

684
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: pitches early in the game that he uses later in

685
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: his start. He will use both sides of the plate.

686
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: He'll go high and low, even though he throws like

687
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: soft ninety miles an hour.

688
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: But he just he just pitched. He pitched pretty well.

689
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 3: He couldn't hit him.

690
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: I saw Mets Twitter getting particularly antsy about maybe he's

691
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: a trade piece that we could go after. What do

692
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: you think about that? I don't know. Wade Miley doesn't

693
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: excite me.

694
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: He should cost like basically what Vargas cost a few

695
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: years ago, like someone who's awful, like a minor league.

696
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 3: A minor league was really bad.

697
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: You're basically just acquiring Wade Miley so the team doesn't

698
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: have to pay him like the three million he's due

699
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: for half the season that's left. Like that is the

700
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: Red's advantage of trading Wade Miley. He could eat valuable

701
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: innings for us. I would love it if Wade Miley

702
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: took up all of Jeridi Coughs starts. But I don't

703
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: think that if you wire Wade Miley, he's even on

704
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 2: your playoff roster.

705
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: No. I mean the Brewers using that one year one

706
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: of his things wash. Yeah, it was the gimmick where

707
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: they pitched him for one pitch so that the Dodgers

708
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: throughout that right handed lineup and then right to yeah,

709
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: right to the right handed pitcher.

710
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 3: But that was brilliant. That was so sick.

711
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: That was when I really thought that Craig Council was

712
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: like operating at like a step above. That was the

713
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: coolest shit ever.

714
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: I was like, that was like evil. That was a

715
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: crazy plan. But anyway, Oh yeah, couldn't hit Wade Miley.

716
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: Pete did hit him, which was so funny because they were,

717
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: for some reason like hyping up that Pete had never

718
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: faced Wade Miley, which I thought was so weird. And

719
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: then he just goes yard in the first sitting, which

720
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: was super nice to see because Pete staying hot since

721
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: the home run derby. Home run Derby, just like it

722
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: hasn't for Wan Sodo doesn't break your swing. If anything,

723
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: it might have helped those two guys, and Pete's definitely

724
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 1: one of them.

725
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 2: I just don't think it has impact, as we've discussed,

726
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: like mostly it's been happenstance, like as whenever someone is

727
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 2: struggling in the home run Derby because they performed so

728
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: well to get into the home run Derby that no

729
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: matter what, they're going to regress to the mean in

730
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: the second half. So that's really stupid, faulty, like bullshit

731
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 2: baseball thing that we say that we should just stop

732
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: with because it's not true.

733
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: Definitely, that being said, we gave the run right back

734
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: because because Jonathan India, who looks to be a very

735
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: solid baseball player.

736
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 3: Did you know he was a New Yorker.

737
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: I did not until the series where they talked about

738
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: how him and his dad big Mets fans, and I

739
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, of course, of course he's gonna kill

740
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: the Mets. He got on base six times in the

741
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: first game, and the game two he leads off with

742
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: the home run. Really good baseball player, which was expected

743
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: because He was a top five pick in the draft,

744
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: a highly touted prospect who just hadn't done it quickly enough.

745
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: But it seems like the Reds got a player in

746
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: him what they thought Nick Senzel would probably be well.

747
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 2: I think Nick sell Senzel still will be really good.

748
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: He just can't stay healthy. I think they're both actually

749
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: very good. I think India lost a lot of shine because,

750
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: like you said, it took him a while and he

751
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: didn't really have the power production of other top twenty

752
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: thirty four. They ish prospects, but he's one of those

753
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: guys who battles up the ball. He doesn't strike out

754
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: very much. He has a decent eye at the play

755
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: draws walked he likes Senzel. I'm happy we didn't see

756
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: the series because I'm still very high Nick Senzel's gonna

757
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: Johnathan India is gonna pop.

758
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: Off the next few years like he is.

759
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: He is one of the guys who has a chance

760
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: to have like the Jesse Winker bump, maybe not as vast,

761
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: but he has all the tools where this could happen

762
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: one day.

763
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: And I think we saw a little bit of a

764
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: taste of that this series, because he was a thorn

765
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: in our side, just like Tyler Nake when everybody else

766
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: on the Reds. Robert Stock pitching for us, which I

767
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: genuinely like Robert Stock's stuff. I like that he throws

768
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: ninety seven, ninety eight touch ninety nine, has some decent

769
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: secondary pitches that at least he could be a reliever

770
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: at the absolute worst. Unfortunate that he got hurt running,

771
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: which a pitcher should not be hitting. And I know

772
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 1: we're talking about our fifteenth starting pitcher of the year

773
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: and talking about how we shouldn't be hitting so that

774
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: Robert Stock can't get hurt, But it is so stupid

775
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: that a pitcher gets taken out of the game because

776
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: he had to run to first base. It's so dumb.

777
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: He said after the game that that was the hardest

778
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: he'd run since he was twenty years old, which is

779
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: really funny. That's awesome, And then it kind of sucked

780
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: because this stuff did look good. Like his fastball and

781
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: stider of Philosci are both up. His changeup Philosi was down.

782
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: He has almost twenty mile an hour gap between his

783
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: fastball and his change.

784
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: Up, which is something and of itself.

785
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: Oh that plays undoubtedly, especially out of the bullpen and

786
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: I will say I did like Stevendi Goosik. I thought

787
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: he has something too that can become useful.

788
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: He looked pretty horrible two years ago when he came up.

789
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: He got shelled a little bit, got hit around. But

790
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: he's thrown mid nineties now. He's got a couple couple

791
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: other pitches that he can mix in there that aren't

792
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: disgusting by any means, but they're they're capable major league

793
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: baseball pitches.

794
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really just the fastball and sly there,

795
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: and it's like it seemed to be a very worthwhile combo,

796
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: Like he's going to be able to get innings for

797
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: us over this stretch and he's not the worst option

798
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: to do so.

799
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: No, I don't feel like, oh God, Stephen to go

800
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: sicks in. I'm yes, punch no, and he's got a

801
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: sick mustache as well. He does.

802
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he seems like a character which I appreciate from

803
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: the swingman role.

804
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: And shout out to him for eating innings for us.

805
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: He was so huge to this game. We are not

806
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: even in this game if it isn't for Steven to

807
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: go sick.

808
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: No, not at all.

809
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: But it was shitty that since we were playing this

810
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: game with three man bench because they sent down Blanke

811
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: and Horned. This was I think before Prasd went on

812
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: the IL, or the day the day he did go

813
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: on the IL, maybe before, I don't remember, but they

814
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: made the roster move where they got rid of a

815
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: hither and a pitcher and brought up two pitchers. So

816
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: the Mets were playing with three man bench, and there

817
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: was a situation in the fourth inning whether Polar and

818
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: mccamnon were both on base, first and second, two out,

819
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: and the Ghost had to hit just because we kind

820
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: of needed another inning or two out of him, and

821
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: there wasn't even someone on the bench to use. And

822
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: that kind of sucks looking back.

823
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one stinks. You physically couldn't pinch hit anyone

824
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: because if we did, we were left with two in.

825
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: One of those guys as Nido, who is the backup catcher,

826
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: And of course you're not hitting your backup catcher in

827
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: the fourth inning, No you're not.

828
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 2: Again, that's just the happenstance, the circumstance of what's been

829
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: happening to this Mets team. It just sucks that that

830
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: was a moment that actually could have drastically changed the game. Like,

831
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 2: you could pull this back to the game at Pittsburgh

832
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 2: on Sunday and we had a full bench. In the

833
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: fourth inning, Travis Blankenhorn pitch hits and that bad changed

834
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: the whole game, possibly the entire season. So every single

835
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: at bat that you're gonna have in a nine inning

836
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: game is going to be important, especially when you're losing,

837
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 2: especially when you're trudging towards the playoffs. So it does

838
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: suck that the Mets had to play this game short

839
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 2: just because of the way the roster has worked out.

840
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was unfortunate. But what's really good is your

841
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: boy Y Diaz came in after go sick. He looks

842
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: really good.

843
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: He looks really good. He is like someone who can

844
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 3: pitch medium leverage for us.

845
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: I believe Jeremy Hefner, Jeremy Hefner sprinkling that dust all

846
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: over him because he was a guy that when we

847
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: got from Toronto sat mid nineties and he still sits there.

848
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: But he's hit ninety seven. I think he hit ninety

849
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: eight at one point in this game too.

850
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: He was ninety seven point eight, so they round up

851
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: to ninety eight in the broadcast. But his whole thing

852
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: used to be control, and I had to tweet a

853
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: bat a few months ago. I retweeted yesterday he shortened

854
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: up his arm action a little bit. He doesn't go

855
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: back as far anymore. It's like a very subtle change.

856
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: But he was a guy who was walking four or

857
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: five per nine in the minor leagues and now seems

858
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 2: to have not even a hint of a control issue

859
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: with the majors. We've really just discovered the piece here

860
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: was probably gonna be up and down with this team

861
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: for the next couple of years.

862
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Steven Matt because that's we got him in

863
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: SRF in that trade, which it looks like we're gonna

864
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: win that one. The way NCDAZ is pitching, and just

865
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: the value that SRF has given us this year is

866
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: he's a really nice guy to know that. I don't

867
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: know if he's cemented himself yet in this bullpen outside

868
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: of injuries, but we need a guy from the miners.

869
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: The NCDAZ is.

870
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: More than cap and the fact that he just is

871
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: a person who exists with options, it's monumentally important for

872
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: this roster construction right now.

873
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: And we've talked about it before. We're getting into that

874
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: same category of like the tam Bay Rays. Where someone

875
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: goes down, we have someone else who can fill in,

876
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: jump right in and is a capable reliever. Depth is

877
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: so important. We've never seen it be more important than

878
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: this season. Probably it's coming to huge. And then even

879
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: a guy like Jeff Hartley, who we picked up from

880
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: the Pirates during the Pirates series, he's got some stuff too.

881
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: I like, what could be there now That slider or

882
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: whatever pitch you through there is either absolutely filthy or

883
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: it hangs like like crazy. It's there's no just okay

884
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: slider there. It's either really good or really bad. And

885
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: we saw that that inning a little bit there. But

886
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: he's got the makings of maybe something.

887
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: He is I would put him the step below Yancy,

888
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 2: where he probably even at step blow in the goostick,

889
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: where he can come up and you won't automatically lose.

890
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: I don't think he's very good. I don't think there's

891
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: anything to be excited about with Jeff Hartley. But he's

892
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: a borderline competent major league pitcher, which is more than

893
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: we can say about most guys who pitched it team

894
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: Again over the last six games Massive, he kept us

895
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: in the game. We're not in this game without Jeff

896
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: Harti leeb. I can't even believe that we're talking about

897
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: Jeff hart Leeb. I can't even believe we're aware of

898
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: Jeff Hardilieb's existence right now.

899
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 3: But it happened, and we're here. We just gotta ride

900
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: this out.

901
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: Interesting tidbit about Jeff hart Leeb too. He was drafted

902
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: originally by the New York Mets. I think back in

903
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen by Sandy Alderson. He became available, immediately jumped

904
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: on him, so Sandy thinks that there's something there for sure.

905
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way that he finds his way back.

906
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 3: No, that is funny.

907
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: And also the Mets have been very active on the

908
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: waiver wire for pitchers. They picked up someone named Roelli

909
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: Rodriguez today or yesterday, which on the Cardinals. Right, Yeah,

910
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: that's something. And Kyle Kirk was dfa'ed by the Pirates

911
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: and this Reds team dfa Jose de Leon. Both of

912
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: those guys have proven even in this season to be

913
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: company major league pitchers, and I think the Mets should

914
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: jump all over both of them.

915
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: Just before we go on, random tidbit about Jose de Leone,

916
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: which I know you're gonna also know as well. But

917
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: for the listeners at home, if the Mets could somehow

918
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: get this guy one, he can start. He's a starting pitcher.

919
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: He has crazy strikeout stuff, always has. He just simply

920
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: gets hurt all the time and sometimes just has zero control.

921
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: But his strikeout stuff is always through the roof, no

922
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: matter how bad he's pitching.

923
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: Definitely, and he had a big Vlo bump this year.

924
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 2: Coming to the Reds, who are one of the I

925
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: don't know, it doesn't look like it now, especially because

926
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: they're playing in this ballpark, but they are one on

927
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: the forefront of pitching development.

928
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: The drive line guys, yeah, literally, there are both. The

929
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: team is run by the drive line guys. It would

930
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: be really useful.

931
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 2: I love Kriick too quick, has a great fastball, He

932
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 2: has a great slide there, spin rates through the roof

933
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: like he is a guy who loves to put in

934
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: this ballpen. If you could get Jeremy Hufter's magic stuff

935
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: and sprinkle on boll to them, they could actually be

936
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: two pieces to help this team.

937
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: Whould be nice. Now on the offensive side here, you

938
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: said kept us in the game. Unfortunately we got a

939
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: shot here when Joey Votto made a crazy error, just

940
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: clanked off his glove. I've never seen Joey Voto just

941
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: clank one. He's looking like Luke Void over there at

942
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: first base, and that's like, here's our shot. We're doing

943
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: it again, and unfortunately McNeil double play killer.

944
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty hard hit ball too, Like it

945
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: wasn't a cheapye, But I just I don't know, I've

946
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: been found the glove a guy like McNeil's, like it

947
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 2: seems like sometimes difficult for him to lift the ball

948
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: and hit it hard. Like it's either like on the

949
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: ground hard or just lifted in like finds a hole

950
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 2: is gonna happen, you know. With the Mets had had

951
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: so much good luck over the last couple of days,

952
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: we needed we needed to get some bad karma back

953
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 2: to get some good for the future.

954
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, like we had no business being in that game.

955
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, with the way that it was going

956
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: pitching wise, and the guys were thrown out there. We

957
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: had no business And the fact that this team hung

958
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: around again just shows that like even at our worst, we.

959
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: Are still a good team, yes, and just a team

960
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 2: that's competent and you saw this, because on the other

961
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: side of the field, the Reds seemed like to be

962
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: not a very good team because they ran into out

963
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: and I believe the seventh and eighth innings or a

964
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: sixth and seventh innings that really kept us in the game.

965
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: The Heenio Suarez was just hoofing it around the base

966
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: is trying to lag out a triple for some reason.

967
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: When Bob Browns like eight feet away from Brandon Demo

968
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: hosed him at third, I still as a Keyno two

969
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: and he seems to have all the physical tools as

970
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: a baseball player, but none of the other stuff to

971
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 2: help you like really take a next step.

972
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: A couple of bonehead plays right there. Yeah, a couple

973
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: bone head plays for sure, So gear Man, I don't

974
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: even think we talked about in Game one. Rough Game

975
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: one defensively made three errors, which was so wild to see.

976
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: Crazy to see him fall apart like that, but a

977
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: couple of mental players too, Yeah, smacking the ball away.

978
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: But he did step up after that. It almost seemed

979
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: like that was a little bit of a wake up call, like, hey,

980
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: wake up, you know how to play. And I think

981
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: Jos even told him, like because you know Jows is

982
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: the man, He's the guru, supposed tokeep everybody loose. He's like,

983
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: there's nobody on this team we want to ground ball

984
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: hit two more than you. I think that's a direct

985
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: quote from Dave Jos Luiski or May, which is crazy

986
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: to say to an adult man, but also I love it.

987
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: That's like, that's the kind of stuff that your bench

988
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: coach is supposed to do. Luiski or May did step

989
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: up this series after the game one flups, he.

990
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 2: Did, and he stepped up with officially in this eighth

991
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 2: inning to get an insurance from I back at the

992
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: Mets have given up in the bottom of the last

993
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: inning with nice Rube the double down the line, and

994
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 2: he just like, is actually a good hitter. Now it's

995
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 2: pretty remarkable, but he is.

996
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: I think what separates him and you probably are gonna

997
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: say it to interrupt you there, but what separates him

998
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: from guys that like are conventionally good hitters where you

999
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: see like power or like all that. His eye is

1000
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: so good, he doesn't strike out, he always has a

1001
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: great at bat. He's walking like crazy. He's just an

1002
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: on base machine.

1003
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 3: Now, dude, he is. We when we talk about mate.

1004
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: We often go back to that home runn hit against

1005
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 2: the Nationals, the first home running his career, the only

1006
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: home run of his career until today, which actually surprised

1007
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: me a little bit. But since that time, he basically

1008
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: has the same amount of walks and strikeouts. And we're

1009
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: spanning three seasons there. He has two hundred and twenty

1010
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: played appearances, same amount of walks, strikeouts, like two more strikeouts,

1011
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: but that's an inconsequential amount. He's hitting over three hundreds

1012
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: since that time, four to twenty five on base, which

1013
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 2: would be well into the upper restaurant in the league.

1014
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: He's not gonna slug. He's never going to have power,

1015
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: we know that. But this guy is literally an above

1016
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: league average hither because of how keen his eye is.

1017
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: He's an ideal light heather for this team.

1018
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: You know, he's been really really solid for us, and

1019
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll talk about in Game three, made a

1020
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: huge impact too. There thought we were gonna win in

1021
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: the ninth though, if it felt like we were going

1022
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: to come back and win that one, and maybe that

1023
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: was us being you know, a little over optimistic with

1024
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: how everything's been going our way recently, with some of

1025
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: these crazy wins. But the way Amir Garrett started off

1026
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: this inning, it felt like he wasn't going to be

1027
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: able to get a single out.

1028
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 3: No it didn't. We got the lead off walk. It

1029
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: was either McNeil or Neimo.

1030
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: I forgot who was left handed batther and then oh,

1031
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 2: no it was it was not Nemo, because Nimmo came

1032
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 2: up next and he was up either one oh or

1033
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 2: two oh. And Ronnie said, the old baseball thing where

1034
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 2: you have to take a strike, at this instance, you

1035
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: have to take a strike, you have to take a strike.

1036
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: And while in classical baseball, I agree with that, but

1037
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: you're basically certain that Mirre Garrett's can throw them right

1038
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: down the dick there. And Emir Garrett, as as much

1039
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: as he struggled this year, it's still very tough for

1040
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 2: left to get hit off that slider.

1041
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 3: He's that good.

1042
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: He threw him right down the deck. Brand Nemo takes it.

1043
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: The next pitch, he tries to front door him with

1044
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 2: a slyther inch off the plate inside. I'm called to

1045
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: a strike. Suddenly you gave him a free strike, and

1046
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 2: now the ump took one away from you. You're now

1047
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 2: down one to two in the at bad and the

1048
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 2: inning was basically over at that point.

1049
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: It sucks it fell a part at that point. Mess

1050
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: really didn't put up much of a fight after the mound.

1051
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: Visit to Amir Garrett. We lose that game, it's gonna happen.

1052
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 1: We didn't deserve to win Game one. We really didn't

1053
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: deserve to win this game either. So the fact that

1054
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: we were still in it is, you know, a mental

1055
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: victory there, but would have been nice to somehow sneak

1056
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: that one out too, because now Game three is the

1057
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: rubber game to win the series. Here great American ballpark,

1058
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: you never know what's gonna happen. But we got Stroman

1059
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: on the mound. We actually have a major League baseball

1060
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: player on the mount today, and boy did he step the.

1061
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: Fuck up so good. We needed this so bad. The

1062
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: Mets needed this. Marcus Stroman start like oxygen.

1063
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: To to just put it lightly, I like that, that's good,

1064
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: like oxygen. I mean we needed arms to get rest.

1065
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: We needed someone to step up pitching wise, like and

1066
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: when I say step up pitching wise, I mean actually

1067
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: eat innings, actually go deep into a game. And that's

1068
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: exactly what he did today. Eight innings. Wait, you give

1069
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: up one hit. I think he gave one.

1070
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: Hit, one hit, one walk, one hit batsman.

1071
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: We had been worried about Stroman post sticky stuff, worried

1072
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: about his injury concern as well. It seemed like everything

1073
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 1: got through out the window here. That All Star break

1074
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: was really big, got a little bit more rest, and

1075
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: he was feeling good pitching against the Reds definitely.

1076
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: This is the first time he even completed he completed

1077
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: six innings since he had that weird injury against Atlanta.

1078
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 2: And this is something that I tweet about the other day,

1079
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: and I told you off the air earlier this week

1080
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,479
Speaker 2: that I was scared that he was actually just pitching

1081
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: injured just because the Mets literally needed it. He just

1082
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 2: hasn't looked right in like more than a month after

1083
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: such a strong first fifteen star to the year. But

1084
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 2: this was his first start since then where everything was working.

1085
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: He makes the sinker, the slider, the splither, and the

1086
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: col all like not evenly, but like there was like

1087
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 2: a clear like staircase with each of them, like everything

1088
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 2: was used enough. The slider itself was the best it's

1089
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 2: been basically all season. He got eight whiffs on eight

1090
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: with eleven swings and five additional call strikes, which is

1091
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 2: that is such a dominant performance from a single pitch.

1092
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: Almost sixty percent of the times he was thrown to

1093
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: have a call strike or a whiff, which is well

1094
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 2: well well above average with that statistics CSW like the

1095
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: thirties is like good, Like that's pretty good. Like if

1096
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 2: you're in the thirties, you're a very good pitcher, borderline

1097
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: elite sixty percent.

1098
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: You just you just dick somebody down. And that's what

1099
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 3: Marcus Stroman did.

1100
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was absolutely dominant today, And go figure. We

1101
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: didn't really need him to be actually as dominant as

1102
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: he was because this Mets team was going up against

1103
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Hoffman, who stinks has good stuff, but he just stinks.

1104
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know why he's bad. I

1105
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: can't pinpoint anything, but he just gets shelled.

1106
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: Yes, well, this was the great American small park striking. Yeah,

1107
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: the Mets hit then like four times.

1108
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 3: Soweek. I hope you like it.

1109
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: The Mets hit three home runs in this game into

1110
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: the front row, and there's nothing that feels better than

1111
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: having a really cheap home run in a bambox and

1112
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 2: the other team can't do anything. Offensively VR quick home

1113
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 2: run right out Dom Smith, the bases loaded King with

1114
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: a grand slam, Grand slams Oh I was wrong before

1115
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: about the seven to seventeen five home runs and seventeen

1116
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 2: July games, as I've now seen in my notes that I.

1117
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: Wrote out, all right, Well, well, if you've made it

1118
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: this war on the podcast, you'll now know James was wrong.

1119
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 3: Or I could just cut both of them.

1120
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: You could do both.

1121
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 3: That happens.

1122
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: But this ballpark is such a joke. It was such

1123
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: a pleasure that just hit all the cheap home runs.

1124
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 2: None of the home runs hadn't expected, batting average over two.

1125
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: Hundred, got a bunch of Jacob Stallings home runs here.

1126
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1127
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: What's funny about this game is how intense and into

1128
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: the first two games of the series was. I fell

1129
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: asleep at the ninth inning of this one. This game

1130
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: was so boring. The Mets needed a boring game.

1131
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 2: The Mets really needed a boring game. Battle This was,

1132
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: I would say, like the most boring game they've played

1133
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 2: all year. The only other game that the Mets were

1134
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 2: like lead wire to wire all season was that to

1135
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: Grom one hitter against the Phillies. I believe it was

1136
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: in April. The Friday night we struck out like thirteen

1137
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 2: or fourteen guys. But even that wasn't born because you're

1138
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: watching Jacob byrom This is the first time where we

1139
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 2: watched the Mets win.

1140
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 3: It was just like, alright, let's chill out.

1141
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: Like, at no point in this game was I nervous,

1142
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: and no point did I think that the Mets were

1143
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: gonna blow this game, lose this one. The Reds were

1144
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: dead dead in the water. That team was just they

1145
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: had nothing.

1146
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 3: No nothing, and thank god, because the Mets needed this

1147
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 3: very met.

1148
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: Mets were completely in control. Win the game, win the series.

1149
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: Nice series by the New York Mets, really good response

1150
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: to playing some terrible baseball against the Pittsburgh Pirates. But

1151
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: this offense is hot. Granted, played in a band box

1152
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: for three games in a row, but that's good. Sometimes

1153
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: you need a little bit of that to keep the offense,

1154
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: you know, morale high. And it seems like the Mets

1155
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: are riding as high as they can be offensively.

1156
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: Definitely, the Mets, in the history of their franchise have

1157
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: their highest winning percentage of any ballpark in Great American ballpark.

1158
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.

1159
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: It's great like I love playing the Reds were playing

1160
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: more often, hopefully doing the division.

1161
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: I feel like every time we I mean we clinched

1162
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 1: the NL East back in twenty fifteen in Great American Ballpark.

1163
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: There's good memories there, so great memories. Glad that we

1164
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: got the up on the Reds a little bit. That's good.

1165
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: We needed it.

1166
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some prospects here, because this might be

1167
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: one of the final prospect reports that we had before

1168
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and some of these guys could be

1169
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: on the move. And I think we're gonna get a

1170
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: start off with a guy who I think is definitely

1171
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: gonna be on the move in Jalen Palmer, who's a

1172
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: third base prospect on the Mets.

1173
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 3: He's in what see things, more of you more you

1174
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 3: tell the guy. He plays everywhere.

1175
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: So he was a shortstop when they got him, and

1176
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: I think they move him to Thirk. He's not really

1177
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: a short stop. He's a good athlete, that's what you

1178
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: need to know. Very good athlete. Super young too. He

1179
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: turns twenty one on the trade deadline, which you noted

1180
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: in the notes. He's from Queens, which is really really cool.

1181
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: He's a Queen's guy Mets kid. He's from Flushing. I

1182
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: believe like yeahs also represented by the same agent as

1183
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: me currently, which is very funny. Jalen Palmer good dude

1184
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: follows me on Twitter. What's up, Jalen Palmer?

1185
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 3: Nice?

1186
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: I think you're probably off this team pretty soon though,

1187
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: because you had a You've been hot as hell.

1188
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: There's almost no doubt that Jalen Palmer's got. Jalen Palmer

1189
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 2: is the exact prospect you trade at the deadline, either

1190
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: for a low level piece who has like a year

1191
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: or two our control of control, or he's the guy

1192
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: who's added in to a trade where you want to

1193
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 2: have a short thing prospect and like a lottery ticket

1194
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: prospect when you get a better player. He is high variant.

1195
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 2: He's a guy who came to the Mets scattered out

1196
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 2: of high school. Twenty second round pick. It's crazy low

1197
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: for a guy who's become gone this high on the

1198
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: prospect list. Rob power was his calling card. He hasn't

1199
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 2: really shown any raw power yet. He has just one

1200
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: home run the season, and it came on Tuesday Night

1201
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 2: amidst this hot streak, but still has it like he's lanky.

1202
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 3: He's gonna put on weight. He's, like you said, a

1203
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 3: big athletic dude.

1204
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 2: He's slashing three forty two, four, twenty six, five, fourteen

1205
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 2: since June tenth, just ripping the shit out of the

1206
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: ball prolific based dealer twenty two and fifty six games.

1207
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: But I it would be thrilled to include him in

1208
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 2: a trade.

1209
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, inside information, I dropped this couple episodes ago.

1210
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: The Cubs are looking at him. The Cubs are interested

1211
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: in Jalen Palmer. And you know who we want from

1212
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: the Cubs, almost everybody and a big guy being the

1213
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: name Chris Bryant. So Jalen Palmer could very much be

1214
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: on the move here. And you know, thank you for

1215
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: your service, Jalen. I hope we get rid of you

1216
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: if it means we're getting somebody good back.

1217
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: And definitely I hope Jalen Palmer has a long, fruitful

1218
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 2: career in the major league to hope he makes a

1219
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars.

1220
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 3: That being said, I'm fine with trading him.

1221
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: And he really has no place in this Mets organization

1222
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: because we've got jam packed full of third basement right now,

1223
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: and one guy in particular who we're going to talk

1224
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: about now Brett Batty, who has been lighting up, lighting

1225
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: up the minor leagues, and you, I know you've been

1226
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: reading the Fangrafts article about the top one hundred prospects

1227
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: system has flown up the rankings.

1228
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Fangrafts dropped their top new mid season top one

1229
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: hundred prospects about twenty minutes before we recorded today, so

1230
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: I was able to get a nice healthy look at

1231
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: that before we started. And Brett Baty is one of

1232
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 2: their biggest movers, jumping up to number eighteen on their

1233
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: top hundred list.

1234
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 3: To the preeminent source of prospect analysis, I use.

1235
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 2: Them religiously, they said that Brett Baty was one of

1236
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: the most impressive players that they scatted at the Futures game.

1237
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 2: They said his batting practice was the second best they saw,

1238
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 2: only behind other Met Francisco Oparees.

1239
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 3: So there's something in the water here in New York.

1240
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 3: We got something in the water.

1241
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 2: Another important thing about Baty, since he moved up to

1242
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: double A at the same team as Mark Fientos, each

1243
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: of those guys been playing a little bit of the

1244
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: corner outfield. There was a game last week where Mark

1245
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: Fiento's missed the game with hands soreness, he got hit

1246
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: in a pitch the night before by a pitch the

1247
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 2: night before, and Brett Bay played left field without Mark

1248
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 2: Vianto's active. Interesting, that's really that's really important. That's this

1249
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 2: guy's path to.

1250
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 3: Queen's because there's gonna be an opening in the corner

1251
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: outfield next year.

1252
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah there is. Yeah, that could be. That could be

1253
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: the Confordo killer right there.

1254
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 3: It could.

1255
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: And then I just mentioned Franciscaualveres on that prospect update.

1256
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 2: He is the seventh rated prospect in all of baseball.

1257
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 2: Two guys ahead of him, Juanda Franco and Jared Kelnick,

1258
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: are going to lose their prospects to ask the end

1259
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 2: of the season. So my prediction was correct. I gave

1260
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 2: to the messed up listeners two whole months ago that

1261
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 2: Francis Squalverer's would be a top five prospect this year

1262
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: by the All Star break.

1263
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 3: So big pat in the back for James.

1264
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 1: You did say that, you called it really really early,

1265
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: So I gotta give you props. I got props. I mean,

1266
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: we all knew Foransis squavers is gonna be good. Did

1267
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: we think he was gonna be a top five prospect?

1268
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: I don't know about it, but he is he rakes

1269
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: and at the catcher position when you hit like he does.

1270
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: And he's also a fairly decent catcher.

1271
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 3: Oh he's a huge catcher.

1272
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is a good catcher, but he is in

1273
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 2: the spot where his bat is almost so good now

1274
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 2: that there's gonna be conversations about moving him off of

1275
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 2: catcher in the near future, especially if the Mets have

1276
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 2: an opening in the corner outfield, which as we just said,

1277
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 2: they will. This is going to be an interesting development

1278
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: in Francisco. Wavra has an incredible problem to have these

1279
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 2: too good of a hitter for the position he plays.

1280
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: Yes, and I think Alvarez and Betti, the two guys

1281
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: we just talked about not going anywhere at the trade deadline,

1282
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: Fiento's could be, Mauricio could be, and he's started heating

1283
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: up again, which is nice to see, especially when he

1284
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: could be in some trade talks.

1285
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 2: Literally just a week ago, I said Mauricio hadn't had

1286
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: a stretch yet in his professional career where he was

1287
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: able to average play, marry play, discipline and power, and

1288
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: he has done that literally in the one week since.

1289
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: So big shout out to Ronnie Mauricio very clearly listening

1290
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 2: to the Mets Dump podcast, as Mark tells me off there,

1291
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 2: I am the Mets jinx, So I'm gonna keep saying

1292
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 2: things out loud, just hoping the opposite happens. Because Mauricio

1293
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 2: since the Star July hitting three hundred opso over eight

1294
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty percent strikeouts, Like that's it.

1295
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: He is I think thirty one or thirty.

1296
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: Two on this most recent Fangrafts update, so that's basically

1297
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 2: in the same range as he's been there the last

1298
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: few years. All that being said, I would trade this

1299
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: guy in a heartbeat for a player with control.

1300
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: Wish we could maybe a guy like Jose Burrios or

1301
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: maybe even a Reds pitcher who knows they could be

1302
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: somebody there.

1303
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: If I can get Luis Castillo, I would drive running

1304
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: Mauricio to Cincinnati, so I'd pick him up in Brooklyn

1305
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 2: and I'd take him there.

1306
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray.

1307
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 2: Gray's a little more expensive, and I think he is

1308
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 2: a free agent after this year.

1309
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 3: Anyway, right, one more.

1310
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: Year, one more. I think they have at least one

1311
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: more year. Sonny Gray's got a really really good contract

1312
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: for a team.

1313
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 2: We're also we're teasing the trade deadline preview, which we're

1314
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 2: gonna give you guys on Sunday, gonna come out next Monday.

1315
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 3: So we're getting a little bit too into it right now.

1316
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 3: But Mauricio, he had.

1317
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: Just what Sonny Gray is a free agent after twenty

1318
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: twenty two, but you have a team option for twenty

1319
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: three and he only makes he makes under ten million

1320
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: dollars a year.

1321
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I would trade running Marisio for Sunny Gray then, actually,

1322
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 2: I definitely would. All the people who think that Sonny

1323
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: Gray can't pitch in New York, Yeah an idiot. Yeah,

1324
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 2: Larier off Child is an idiot.

1325
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

1326
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 2: That's not that have anything to do with with why

1327
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 2: Soney Grade struggle with the Yankees is because they have

1328
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: a poor analytics staff and they play a little league ballpark.

1329
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 2: That being said, again, Mauricio's timeline doesn't really line up

1330
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: with where this team's going in the next two year.

1331
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 2: He needs at least two more years in the minor

1332
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 2: leagues to get good, and even when it happens, he

1333
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 2: probably needs at least a minor league season playing position,

1334
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 2: not shortop because we have a shortstop right now.

1335
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 3: So it seems like the Mets are playing him a

1336
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 3: shortstop to trade him.

1337
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 2: He's the guy who I think is gonna be gone Mauricio,

1338
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 2: Jaylen Palmer, those guys are gone. Another guy who's not

1339
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 2: gonna get traded a boy, j T gin j T

1340
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 2: Tanga Ray got bumped up from Saint Lucy to Brooklyn,

1341
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: which I'd love to catch at JT gin start in

1342
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: the next few weeks.

1343
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: Guy, Yeah, we might have to head out to Coney

1344
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: Island again. Had a great time there and you know,

1345
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: we're talking to the Cyclones a little bit, trying to

1346
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 1: get something going. Maybe j T. Tangerray makes an appearance

1347
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Who knows, We'll see what we can

1348
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: do over there.

1349
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 3: We'll see if he likes the name.

1350
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been dominating, you know, low A. I'm excited

1351
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: to see what he does against a little better hitters.

1352
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: I'd imagine he's gonna be completely fine.

1353
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, Definitely. I think it's a good chance

1354
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 3: you see j T. Ginn and Binghamton before the end

1355
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 3: of the season. But which just as a pitcher moves.

1356
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 2: Up the system, you have some corresponding moves. So his

1357
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 2: spot in Brooklyn was Jose budos. A guy mentioned a

1358
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 2: few episodes ago who is on the periphery of the

1359
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 2: Mets Top ten prospects list. He got bumped up to

1360
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 2: Double A. He's got some stuff. He could be a

1361
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 2: depth piece. He's fine.

1362
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 3: Fun name Jose though.

1363
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 2: The guy who got pumped up from Double A to

1364
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 2: Triple A though, might be making appearance for the Mets

1365
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 2: sometime soon. His name is Josh Walker. He is good,

1366
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,879
Speaker 2: he's not great. He's not like McGill esque in Double

1367
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 2: A where he was crushing the world. But he had

1368
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 2: twenty five percent strike as a two six ERA and

1369
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 2: an eleven percent swing strike right. If he's anywhere near

1370
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 2: that in Triple A over the next two to three starts,

1371
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 2: I think is a good chance we see him in

1372
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: Queens in the next few weeks.

1373
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, which, listen, we have some reinforcements coming. We're gonna

1374
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: have some guys on the trade deadline coming. But as

1375
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 1: we know, injuries will strike this team at any moment.

1376
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: We got to be prepared, We got to have depth.

1377
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 1: It's good to know that there could maybe be another

1378
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: guy here in the miners that could come up and

1379
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: at least be a competent major league baseball player. Let's

1380
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: talk about one of those reinforcements that could be coming

1381
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 1: in Carlos Carrasco, who looked good in a ball in Brooklyn,

1382
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: but as you should, because he's a major league pitcher

1383
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: pitching against children at Syracuse, he got roughed up and

1384
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: it looks like he's gonna be pushed back at least

1385
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: one start. Yes, so that's disappointing.

1386
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think it was a lot to expect

1387
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 2: Carlos Carrasco to have two rehab starts after not pitching

1388
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 2: for almost an under year and just come back to

1389
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,359
Speaker 2: the major leagues because in this gathering reports I read

1390
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 2: about that start, his stuff was fine. The fastball had velocity,

1391
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: the slider had the spin that he's gotten over his

1392
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 2: whole career. His command was what wasn't there, and that

1393
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: is something that's going to take a little bit longer

1394
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 2: when you're recovering from an injury like this, when you

1395
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 2: have him pitching a game in a very long time.

1396
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: Let's not rush Carlos Carrasco right now. We can get

1397
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 2: seventy innings out of Carrasco between the middle of August

1398
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 2: and the playoffs we won it's what you've.

1399
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: Been saying from the start of the year. I think

1400
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: you started off at one hundred. Now it's a little

1401
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: bit less because the injury start.

1402
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 2: I started on hundred twenty and then I went to

1403
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 2: one hundred and now.

1404
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: But seventy whatever, we're gonna getut of him. We get something.

1405
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: We get a month out of Carlos Carrasco healthy, doing

1406
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: what we know he can do. That's still a great

1407
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: month for us. That's like getting a trade deadline piece.

1408
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it literally is like getting a trade deadline piece.

1409
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 3: We have.

1410
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 2: We have a bullet in the gun. It's Carlos Carrasco.

1411
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 2: Possibly cinder guard too. He's been throwing a little bit.

1412
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 3: We'll see how that goes. Not holding my breath, yeah no.

1413
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: And then we also made a minor move here, Billy Baumbs,

1414
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: thank you for your service. He is no longer with

1415
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 1: the New York Mets. Been traded till the Los Angeles Dodgers.

1416
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: Will never forget you. But apparently we got a pretty

1417
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: good prospect in carl Ringcones.

1418
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, it.

1419
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 2: Seems like there was a market for Billy McKinney, which

1420
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 2: makes sense because he is like a legitimate defender in

1421
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: the Corney Ol outfield improved, he could hit major league pitching.

1422
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 2: This season, we got someone named Carlos Rincone from the Dodgers.

1423
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 2: If you know anything about the Dodgers is that their

1424
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: minor leagues are flushed with talent. Rincon is a guy

1425
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 2: who has very very high regarded raw power twelve home

1426
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: runs during this double A season. He's a strikeout guy,

1427
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 2: but that makes sense given the profile I've described. He's

1428
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 2: probably gonna go right to Binghamton and create like wicked power,

1429
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 2: a middle of that order between Baby Viento's Cortes and

1430
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 2: now Carlos Roncon. So everyone keep an eye on Carlos

1431
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 2: Roncon will probably be a back end, top punch of prospects.

1432
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 3: He could even be a guy. It's included in the

1433
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 3: trade now.

1434
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 2: You know.

1435
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: It just blew my mind because I hadn't look into

1436
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: Ringcone because this move literally happened like minutes before we

1437
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,720
Speaker 1: started the podcast. Yeah, I thought he was a pitcher.

1438
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: I did not realize he could hit.

1439
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 2: I will Ricardo Ringcon. That makes sense, the famous moneyball pitcher.

1440
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: Ah, that's why. But anyway, good, I'm interested to see

1441
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: that the Mets somehow got Billy Bombs for nothing. He

1442
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: came in, he did work for us, help this team out,

1443
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: be easy, gonna get a World Series ring at the

1444
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: end of the year when it was when the entire

1445
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: thing will welcome him back when the Dodgers play the

1446
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: Mets in August. But we traded him, We got him

1447
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: for nothing. He helped us out. We then got rid

1448
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: of him and we got something for him. That's like,

1449
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: that's good baseball.

1450
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 3: That's an incredibly shrewd move.

1451
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing that organizations like the Brewers

1452
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 2: and the Rays and the Giants and the Dodgers do

1453
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: time and time again. Like I've said all year, the

1454
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: Mets have now ascended to being in that echelon of teams.

1455
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: We are doing more with less. We're creating actual, useful

1456
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: prospects out of thin air.

1457
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 3: And I have you said when.

1458
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: Billy McKinney comes back, and cheer for him in August.

1459
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 2: As a little transition into our Blue Jays preview, who

1460
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 2: gets a bigger ovation from the Mets crowd, Billy McKinney

1461
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 2: or Steven Mattz.

1462
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a lot Billy McKinney. I might be trying

1463
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 1: to go to that game on Friday. If you're down

1464
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: and I am booing Steven Matts, I will not clap

1465
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: for him.

1466
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 2: I was thinking about going to that game on Friday.

1467
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 2: I have a ticket with my dad, but we got

1468
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 2: that that chair the golf outing Friday morning. I'm gonna

1469
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 2: see how I'm feeling in the evening. But there's a

1470
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 2: good chance I do wind up at that game.

1471
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: True, But yeah, we're playing the Blue Jays this weekend.

1472
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough the blue Jays just mash.

1473
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go through every single position. You

1474
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: have lad Garrow Junior, who's the MVP of shohey o

1475
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: Tani didn't exist. He might win the Triple Crown, like

1476
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,919
Speaker 1: he's been that good. It's just he's gonna lose MVP

1477
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: because Otani also pitches and is competing for the Triple Crown.

1478
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: Like essentially. Then you've also got at second base Marcus Simeon,

1479
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: at shortstop Bob Baschett, You've got Calvin Biggio who can hit.

1480
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: You've got uh Teoscar Hernandez. George Springer's back and healthy,

1481
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: and you know he's gonna be a pain in our side.

1482
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: Is lord is Guriel playing. I don't. Their lineup is

1483
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:33,959
Speaker 1: so loaded at every position. Mets are gonna have some tough,

1484
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: tough times ahead of them. But the one saving grace

1485
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 1: is that the Blue Jays pitching is not very good.

1486
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 2: No, it's not really very good at all. They have

1487
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 2: like a couple of company starts. We're gonna miss new

1488
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 2: Ace Robbie Ray, which is a pleasure, but we are

1489
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 2: getting Hinjin re you on Friday night, who stymied the

1490
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 2: Mets time and time again. He and also when hinjuin

1491
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: Ree pitches in New York. I went to a Hinjin

1492
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 2: Rio start a couple of years ago and the Dodgers

1493
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 2: were in town. All of the American South Koreans come

1494
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 2: to the ballpark just to watch their fellow countryman. I

1495
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 2: was ay in the upper deck where I usually sit

1496
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 2: because I come real fan, real fans in the upper deck,

1497
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: of course, and they were like, there was a big

1498
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 2: crowd of Koreans a couple of rows ahead of me.

1499
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 2: Half of them were on their laptops working at the game,

1500
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 2: just being there to watch engine Ryo. So you're gonna

1501
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 2: get that if you're at the ballpark Friday night will

1502
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: be pretty cool. And then we got Steven Matts versus

1503
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 2: Taiwan Walker on Saturday. It's kind of gonna be the

1504
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 2: Spider Man meme of the two guys who theoretically were

1505
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: swaps for each other in the off season, because.

1506
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: They have Matt's versus McGill Friday now on Mets dot Com.

1507
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 3: ESPN I have Reu Friday and Matt's on Saturday.

1508
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: Interesting. Who do you think is right Mets or ESPN?

1509
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: We will find out soon. But either way, one of

1510
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: those guys is pitching one of those days.

1511
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then on Sunday, we're gonna have the home

1512
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 2: run derby of Jeria Coff versus Ross Tripling.

1513
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that's that's if Geri I Cooff is

1514
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: actually on the team because he was defade, so we'll

1515
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: have to get mine too. Well.

1516
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: Maybe ESPN is wrong with the Friday night matchup because

1517
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 2: they have I Cooff pencil then there. But if it's

1518
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 2: not like Cough, I don't even know who it could be.

1519
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Bahinda, I don't know. Tropiano could make the pitch

1520
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: start too, who knows.

1521
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 2: It's a good chance we have rained the forecast anyway,

1522
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 2: because there's been rain raining all summer in New York,

1523
00:56:59,120 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 2: So who cares.

1524
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're due for a rain out. We played a

1525
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: clean series here, easy Mets. You don't get three three

1526
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: consecutive games. We have a ten game home stand coming up.

1527
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: You think we're not gonna have rain at least once?

1528
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:10,919
Speaker 1: Good luck.

1529
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna check the daily forecast right now just to see,

1530
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 2: Oh we're actually Wow, we got no rain in the

1531
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 2: forecast until possibly oh.

1532
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 3: Sunday.

1533
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, see exactly. There's still a chance. There's

1534
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: always a chance with this the rain in New York

1535
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: right now. But Blue Jay is good team. Yeah, it's

1536
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, gonna be really really hard.

1537
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 3: Metts have to stay hot.

1538
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: Bats have to stay hot, and the pitching has to

1539
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: stay hot because the Blue Jays are gonna score if

1540
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: we can somehow stymy this Blue Jays offense, our pitching

1541
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: is even better than we thought it is, because this

1542
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: lineup offensively is borderline and all star team.

1543
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 2: Definitely, I have like a quick little Blue Jay to

1544
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,959
Speaker 2: watch at some point this series. I'm expecting Thomas Hatch

1545
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 2: to make his season debut. He's had some very good

1546
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 2: stuff over the last couple of years, going up and

1547
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 2: down between triple and the majors. He's a guy who

1548
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 2: was on If anyone out there plays like in really

1549
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 2: deep dynasty leagues, like really against the nitty gritty, he

1550
00:57:58,640 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 2: should definitely be someone on your rail.

1551
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 3: He's an analytics darling.

1552
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 2: He's got a great, great, great forcing fastball that lives

1553
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 2: in the top of his zone with great spin rate,

1554
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 2: and the Blue Jays are transitioning him to being a

1555
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 2: high leverage reliever, so similar to what Jordan Merriweather did

1556
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season. I think that's gonna

1557
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 2: be Hatches role moving forward. So if you see a

1558
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 2: guy coming out of the bullpen throwing flames, it's probably

1559
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 2: Thomas Hatch.

1560
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: You just combined Jordan Romano and Julian Meryweather to the

1561
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: I said Julian Romano, You said Jordan Merriweather.

1562
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 2: Julian Merriweather. Jordan Romano was good too, but I thought

1563
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 2: he was a little too mainstream to be my guy

1564
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 2: to watch at this point.

1565
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: Listen, the Blue Jays have some worms in the bullpen,

1566
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: but the pitching is hittable. Their pitching is hittable. Re

1567
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: You's sick, He's.

1568
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 3: Gonna dominate us. That's just a lot We're not gonna

1569
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 3: even touch for.

1570
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: You, soft Austin lefty. We can't hit Wade Miley. We

1571
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: cannot touch hinjin Ree. Especially if we're playing in Great

1572
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: American Ballpark and can't hit Wade Miley, We're not touching

1573
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: hinjin in Ree. We got a chance to win two

1574
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: games though in this series because of Ross strippling and

1575
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: Steven Matt's starting. Hopefully the Mets jump all over Steven Matts.

1576
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: He's more so than Matt Harvey because Matt Harvey had

1577
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: to high moment. Steven Matt's just stunk. He had one

1578
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: year and he has stunk. I'd love to see the

1579
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: Mets just knock him out in the first thing. That

1580
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: would be like, oh, I'm living my best life. It

1581
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: would be so Mets, though, to just not hit him

1582
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: at all, Well, yeah, he's he's gonna show you what

1583
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: we all know is inside that body, but he never

1584
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: actually did.

1585
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 2: It's gonna be funny if Matts has his whole family

1586
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 2: at the game, just like that first start of his

1587
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 2: career against the Reds, where like the grandpa was in

1588
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 2: the in the box going crazy when he got the double. Like,

1589
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 2: I feel like that's gonna happen again.

1590
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: It's just this time rooting against the Mets, which is

1591
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: gonna be weird. But he got a smackground Steven Metts.

1592
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: Regardless of what happens, you gotta hit Stepen Mattz. Mets

1593
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: got a chance to win the series. Hot bats pitching

1594
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: somehow stepped up. Let's do it. Let's win this series,

1595
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: beat the Blue Jays, riding into the Brave series, which

1596
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: we're getting ahead of ourselves now, which means it's also

1597
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: time to end this episode here, episode number thirty four

1598
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: of the Mets the Podcast talked about the Reds a lot.

1599
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: Didn't think it was gonna be this deep.

1600
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 3: But we had Game one for over a half hour

1601
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 3: because it was worth it.

1602
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: It was worth it. The game was five hours long.

1603
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: The least we could do is give you thirty minutes

1604
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 1: about Game one. So much to talk about there. We

1605
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: got the Blue Jay series, which we'll do an episode

1606
