Really nice, nice series. Win. After what was 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:54.000 a hellish nightmare game on Tuesday, Yeah Tuesday, whatever happened? 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.880 There no sports all round for us. Yeah, patsports are 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.760 and worst awful game OFFI life. But we kind of 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.040 actually fun to watch this Mets team this week. We 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.680 actually got the time of that because when we went 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.840 to go play softball, it was like in the fifth 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.960 inning so the bad things hadn't really happen yet. We 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:09.480 looked at the phones, We're like, what just happened? But 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:14.000 I enjoyed watching the Mets on Wednesday and Thursday, which 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.600 is I couldn't really have said that for most of 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.760 the last few months, and I was like, I sat 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.360 down today one I was like, I'm excited to watch 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.640 the Mets play baseball. Like I like the lineup of 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.880 the team right now. I like watching the two pitchers 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:25.520 on the mound. In the last two days, I was like, there, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.960 this is actually a cohesive, coherence baseball team. Yeah. What's 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.479 crazy about it is that when this team is getting 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.880 as this team's getting healthier, and we're seeing the good 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.679 players that were supposed to be here actually play on 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.520 this team more often every single day, started to look 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.240 at this team and go, the hell are they this bad? Like, 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.960 I know they're not good yet because the pitching is 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.520 still an absolute mess, but like the offense is at 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.840 least clicking right now, which is really encouraging because that 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.760 was something that was just so hot and cold for 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.720 this team and maybe it still will be down the stretch. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.840 But having aj Ewing being as good as he is, 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.080 having won Soto being as good as he is, Bobashet's 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.560 hitting it really well, Lindor still isn't even really clicking, 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.360 but like everybody else in this lineup right now is 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.160 pretty much doing some stuff. Yeah, I don't think this 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.400 will be something that's hot, hot and cold moving forward. 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.200 I think we can actually count on the Mets offense 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:09.720 being a strength the rest of the season like it 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.720 was supposed to be, Which is kind of funny. We've grabbed, 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.480 We've taken ourselves out of the ops league wide cellar. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.959 We are now twenty eighth in the league wide team 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.840 by the OPS across the league, we are one point 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.560 behind the Blue Jays and three points behind the Diyingbacks 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.040 and Mariagers. So we're we're stone star ray right now 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.760 from having the twenty fifth best OPS and baseball team 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:33.399 below us, Yes, two teams Padres, Yes, And who's gonna 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.000 hit worse than the Padres this year? Another team has 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.200 fallen like a rock in the last four weeks. Fall 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.799 and it's not the Braves, so fall like a rock. No, 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.320 not the Reds, the rest of the team the resort 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.800 we're chasing. We want to get to the Reds Oriels. No, 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.280 not the Orioles. The Reds have a seven hundred team ops. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.360 I want to be there by the week after the 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.480 All Star break was just falling like the Twins. No 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:59.320 twins are Twins are surging? Tigers? No Tigers are also surging. 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.639 No Angel actually still hit. They just can't pitch as now. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.639 Guards Oh okay, yeah they so, I just don't even 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.920 pay attention to the Guardians. They haven't had even had 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.560 a major league hither in their lineup yet. And even 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.240 if you split out for starting with May first, the 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.480 mess of the eighteenth best ops in the league. Don't 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.560 you get hot? If you go to June first, it's 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.280 the fifteenth best right there. Seventh third of the ops 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.799 the teams is June first. Again, it doesn't feel real 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.080 because of how poorly this team hit early in the season. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.440 But if you look at those lineups compared to these lineups, 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.040 and then you think about aj Ewing and what he's 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.680 doing right now, plus Carson benj wants so the being 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.200 there every day, Bobashd having a three twenty average and 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.440 eight to fifty ops since June first, You're like, oh, yeah, 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.960 this team can't really hit. Oh I saw you tweet out, 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.800 I think on Tuesday or Wednesday night, whatever night, it 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.120 was about how it's crazy that in this disaster lost season, 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.160 we're seeing like a twenty one year old pop off 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.480 and be like a really really good player, like a 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.840 four or five win per player probably for this team, 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.840 and it's just gonna go completely to waste because we're 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.240 not going to make the playoffs. Not gonna make the playoffs, 0:03:58.240 --> 0:03:59.760 but we need things to hang on to in the 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.240 lit season, and aj Ewing is something we should be 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.640 defiantly hanging on to. Like aj Ewing as of the 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.320 game on Wednesday night, he had five home runs in 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.320 two weeks. He had home runs in three out of 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.640 five games in back to back nights. The fact that 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.840 right now his one hundred and sixty two game pace 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.600 is watch something like twenty home runs, thirty five steals, 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.880 two seventy eight ten ops while playing great ef in 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.120 the center field and second base, flashing at second base 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.039 like he's probably the best second basement on the roster defensively, right, yeah, 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.120 I think he probably is. Like it's just bet he 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.280 hasn't been bad, but he's been he's better. No, it's 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.760 very very different. Brett Bay versus Aja Ewing. I mean again, 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.560 like we're maybe maybe this is an entire referendum on 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.520 how much COVID fucked up these guys developments, but like 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.159 how or it's just how special of a player in 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.839 a prospect Ewing is, but it's watching a player like, 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.280 oh shit, yeah, he's ridiculously good. And just to go 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.840 a little chronological order here, So it started on Tuesday, 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.440 Ajewing in the lead off spot, four for four, hit 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.039 the home run off of Seth Lugo early on, just 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.080 doing everything that he possibly could try and make this 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.560 Mets team win. And to be fair, the offense absolutely 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.440 showed up. Ewing was incredible. Sodo three RBIs with that 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.680 big home run. Who else Carson bench two for three 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.760 on the day, Like there was just good performances. Horiy 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.359 Polanco back in the lineup almost almost hit a home run, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.240 like Dolphins was chugging. It was just we couldn't pitch 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.000 for the life of us. Tyler Tolbert fucking unbelievable. Tyas 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.800 Tolbart's in the history books forever major League Baseball, hitting 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.479 twelve straight at bats, half of them did not leave 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.839 the infields. But that's that's just kind of Baseball. I 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.440 want to get in at this game quickly because I 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.200 wanted to reference other parts of this game later on, 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.640 because we have a few media marvels again, especially about 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.440 Matt ceiling Ger. Ceiling Jer. Yes, ceiling Cher, ceiling Jer, 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.279 not ceiling Ger. But the big thing I think to 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.400 take away from this game is thank you Austin Warren. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.479 It was a nice few months and Billy Eppler somewhere 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.760 smiling with a really random forearm. Strange, and that's to 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.480 get up the new reliever on Wednesday, which is I mean, 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.600 I I don't know how random it truly was, though, 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.000 because Austin Warren was apparently inconsolable after like the MRI stuff, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.760 because he was very worried that he was gonna get 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.800 Tom John again. And he's already had it, I think 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.440 once in his career, so at least like for him, 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.040 he feels good. But yeah, I don't Austin Warren four 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.560 to six cra after this one. It's kind of crazy. Yeah, 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:10.920 there was. There was a line from me he had 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:12.760 trade value, like he probably still has that hint of 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.360 trade value, but I guess he needs to be healthy. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.280 But will Salmon put a piece in his his article 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.400 about Austin warren't going to the IL just a Mets 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.239 News recap the Mets putting right hand reliever for Austin 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.240 Warre in a fifteen day injured list. According to people 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.560 familiar with the situation who are not authorized to speak 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.520 freely on the topic, the specific nature of the injuries unknown. Interesting. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.720 That's just a very weird line about it. Hen is 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.840 a bizarre one. But again, the big thing to take 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.720 from this game, apart from aj Ewing being awesome, the 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.040 offense being awesome, I just I'm really just tired of 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.560 Code I Sanga, and even more so, I think I'm 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.400 also getting a little bit tired of the Mets use 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.520 the usage pattern with Code I Sanga. Well, it makes 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.960 no sense because for the longest time ever, Code I 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.560 Sanga basically needed to pitch on five days rest, then 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.920 all of a sudden he wasn't. Then we're gonna just 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.839 jump to twenty twenty six now and Code I Sang 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.640 as a starter not good, goes to the bullpen, still 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.120 using though in a long relief role out of the bullpen, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.520 and then he pitches twice in three days basically and 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.720 throws what one hundred and thirty hundred forty pitches over 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.000 the two days. I think it was only about one 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.560 hundred five, because last Friday in Atlanta, I think it 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.680 was forty four and this was sixty one if I 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.800 remember right. But the whole thing right now with cod 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.920 is if are you going to make him reliever or 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.880 you're trying to keep him stretched out? And it seems 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.200 like a decision like this means you're in between those 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.600 two decisions. And I wonder if that sounds like any 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.440 other guy in this Mets bullpen right now? Can I 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.880 find one other player like that? Yeah, we get five 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.480 more minutes and they'll figure that one out. But that 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.560 one I liked a little more, especially when he comes 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.800 down this one. He's not thrown harder than usual, like 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.200 we saw him pop a few hundreds last week, and 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.160 this time he's not a hundred. I think ninety nine. 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.280 I don't know. Did he pop on hundred. I think 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.080 he did pop one hundred. I don't know. He pitches 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.480 and I gets I get mad. I'm just watching balls 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.000 getting absolutely tanked off of him. But this time he's not, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.240 So then it's like, what is the actual plan here? 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.000 I'm saying it's just the beginning of the season. I 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.680 think CODI still has plenty of values. You want to 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.200 make him a one ending believer, and I think it's 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.240 a great time to do that. Ye cause the trade 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.320 deadline's coming up and just under a month. If you 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.120 guys didn't know, it's a good time and be like, hey, 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:06.880 when you can pay this got thirteen mill next year? 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.920 But he might be a shutdown reliever like this. Do 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.680 you want to remember Luke Weaver? Remember what happened he 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.400 went from the bullpen to the rotation rotation in the bullpen? Yeah, 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.160 or even if you believe in code I still as 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.040 a startup, Okay, grab him for a reliever right now 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.200 for the rest of the year, and then work on 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.640 it during year spring training. Not ours anymore. I'm saying 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.360 you guys can figure this out. He's doing a very 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.480 very small amount of money next year. It's thirteen or 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.400 fifteen million. That's pennies for a guy who had you 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.040 see that he did twenty twenty three. Did you see 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:30.880 that season? He was one of the thirty best pitchers 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.439 on the planet. Giving you a bargain, don't accept this 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.199 trade right now before I take it back, But it's 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.040 just it's just painful to again there. I think he 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.120 is broken mentally, he's pitching poorly physically, and now I 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.559 think they're not helping the situation either. No, it's a 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.199 complete mess, and I'm so tired of watching him pitch 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.360 for the New York Mets. Good again. It's a shame 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.120 that this game got so out of control that we 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.520 couldn't really relish the fact that aj Ewing, after a 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.640 few weeks of playing a lot better back in the 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.800 leadoff spot, now just play it, fucking stamp that he's 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.000 an elite baseball player. Oh, he's so ridiculously good. Everybody 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.200 in the lineup got to hit that night except Francisco Indoor. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.080 I think he breached baso. Then he drove walk? Did 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.200 he drove walk? He drew walk. I want to see 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:12.640 I always like to do this when guys still have 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.480 small samples and they have huge games. I want to 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.719 see how much Jewing stats changed in the one game 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.559 to jump like twenty something points after going oh for 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.640 four on Monday and that win against the Braves two 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.120 point fifty nine average, four hundred slug seven forty two 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:31.160 ops after four for four with a home run up 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.000 to two seventy six averages, seventeen points of batting average, 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.120 seventeen points of on base percentage. Funny though it moved 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.240 up the exact same amount. That's been very funny. Thirty 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.120 one points of slug for the eight Yeah, for the 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.319 eight points of ops. That's crazy, crazy, unbelievable. But yeah, 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.160 Aju went greats. Just a shame that the Mets couldn't 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.360 win a game where they scored twelve runs. I think 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.319 Steve Garrett said that was like one of the first 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.040 times in history they scored eleven runs at home and 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.719 did not win. I think it was the first time. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.040 I think they were like, I'm just gonna say, like 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.920 a thousand and oh, and then that was the first 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.240 loss where they've scored twelve. There's no way the message 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.000 square thousand runs at home, eleven runs at home. I'm 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.439 but it's even shittier that you look back in the series, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:08.719 you're like, oh, you won the next two games, like 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.320 you could actually be writing a five game winning streak. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:11.880 Grind now about to play another awful team in the 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.520 Red Sox, because Wednesday was a fun baseball game. Yeah, 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.160 Christian Scott awesome, he looked really, really good. Again he 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.319 was dominant. He struck out Carter Jensen to end the 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.559 fifth and screamed off the mound. Jensen give him a 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.000 little bit of a stare down. James, were watching this 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.760 game on TV or was this a radio for you? 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.320 I was watching It's called NBC game. Did you hear 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.839 Do you hear Keith talking about Randy Dobnach. It was 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.160 driving me fucking insane, dude, total opposite. I loved it 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.280 so much that I I incorporated into my write up 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.120 about Randy Dobnach. I mean, hell the game, Randy Dobnach, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.120 hell of a game by him. I literally said, this 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.240 is my description for Randy Dobnack. This is what you 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.000 guys got to stay on with the world the World 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:47.839 Player news page and we have our our tag guys 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.120 on there so you can see the ones I wrote. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.400 And I like to add a little flair in these. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.040 Dobnak put together an old school start working the edges. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.400 I wasn't even start. It was it was appearance, damn it. Yeah, 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.040 not a start, not a start. I'll go back and 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.880 change that. Working the edges with a sinker and deeper 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.439 secondary pitches keep the mets off the board that's announce it. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.360 Keith and Nandis was particularly impressed by ten pitch battles 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.560 one so in the fifth inning, but doms easily could 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.120 have walked in with two has nobody on. He definitly 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.680 could have done that, but kept going after him. Eventually 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.160 forced to pop up and so fucking slammed his back 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.800 with the course because he've watched Randy dobnak pitches and 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.240 how am I not hitting the nuke off of this guy? 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.880 Keith was treating him like he was Prime Greg maddox. 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.880 Hey, for the families out there looking for a different 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.319 path to help your child succeed at home, looking to 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.679 K twelve Powered Schools.

K twelve dot com slash foul. 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.120 Keith had an all time series we've been saying, and 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.760 when Keith and Garry are there together without Ron to babysit, 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.360 it's special and we'll talk about that get back to 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.599 the media marvels towards the end of this. But it 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.920 was at the same time frustrating but also nice to 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.600 see Christian Scott go up against it and battle. Scott 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.400 also had almost a thirty pitch second inning, and then 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:43.959 he's done this a few times this season when he 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.920 gets into a lot of trouble early but just kind 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.719 of gritzing grinds his way through the next few and 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.520 I liked how much he went to his color in 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.319 this one because the fastball sweep were great, but this 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.559 time I thought was the best. At least he was 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.600 the most confident in his color that he's been all year. 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.920 Got a bunch of called strikes, got to a weak contact. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.560 He's thrown to twenty percent at the time to left 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.480 these and four straight starts and this time throwing at 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.600 thirty percent of thirty five percent of time for them 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.360 his highest into second Star of the year in May. First. Yeah, 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:11.760 it's good pitch. I don't I don't love when he 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.080 uses against righties. I don't like righty cutters against right 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.240 handed batters. Ever, it feels like code. I did a 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.880 lot of that. But uh, he going through I think 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:20.640 he went through like four but almost. I think two 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.280 of him got put into play for art contact. I 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.040 think they got smoked. But yeah, Christian Scott looked great. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.120 And like we were talking about, is there another type 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:29.680 of guy that Mets are doing the code? I sang 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.440 a thing too, Tobias Myers, And what's so confusing about 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:34.720 him is Okay, so if he's gonna be a two 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.760 winning guy, he's throwing slower than he ever has. The 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.760 velo is way down, Like my dad was texting me, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.839 He's like, I swear this guy like touched ninety five 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.920 in Milwaukee, and he had touched it, but he sat 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.760 like ninety three, five to ninety four. This year, he's 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.600 in the mid ninety twos and most of this game 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.320 felt like he was touching ninety one. Yeah again, because 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.880 I think they're also being a little bit irregular with 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.160 how he's using him in a triple A. I think 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.240 they said he only had one appearance the whole time 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.360 he was down and he threw, I'll get you the 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.400 worklove of that in a second. But and then I 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.760 was surprised that Gary and Keith was surprised that after 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.800 Tobias Myers gave up a run, gave up the lead 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.800 in the sixth inning, he came back out for the 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.319 seventh When they mentioned Minter and Raley being available and 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.120 Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, all those guys, Williams the 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.800 only got not available. I take that back, but everyone 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.520 else was available. Almost everyone else got up in the 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.480 bullpen that game. And then Myers puts guys on base, 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.120 but did like that he kind of again gritted his 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.160 teeth and got through an inning when he put guys 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.760 on base. He made some big pitches, he hit some spots, 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.400 and he looked really excited after getting through that. Yeah, 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.160 the Mester showing life at least considering like where the 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.880 season's at. I do like seeing the guys care about 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.000 what's going on, seemingly playing hard throughout the entire game, 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.920 which is nice. Brooks really came in, did a really clean, 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.520 easy job. Nice and easy for Brooks. And then of 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.720 course we had that insane inning where the Francisco leonor 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.480 Oopsie almost came back to bite us, but luckily it 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.600 did not. We did not have to deal with that. Wait, 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.720 I'm going to go through these Tobias Myers game logs again. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.440 Oh in Syracuse. Yeah, So when he went down to 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.000 Syracuse the first week of June, June fourth through an 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.560 inning in the third, June seventh through two, June eleventh, 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.480 two and two thirds. Then he comes back to the 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.200 major leagues after June seventh. He then pitched the June 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.160 fifteenth through one and one third. That was when he 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.760 got blown up by the Reds. Yep. Then five days 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.800 later came into another blowout against the Phillies, gave up 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.200 a few runs two to third. So faced a love batters, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.000 face ten eleven batterest ten batters. Then the Cubs again 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.480 got smacked around, face ten batters over two winnings five days. 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.320 That was three days later, then five days later, smacked 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.120 around by the Phillies again. And then he goes back 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.880 and sits for six days. There's three innings in the minors, 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.360 comes back here, there's two winnings. It just it seems 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.840 like he's getting like long reliever workload, but not long 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:50.080 reliever consistent appearances. No, it's there. They're fucking around with him. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.560 I don't I don't understand why we're completely mishandling. Tobias 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.840 Myers Hans had a spot in the season where keep 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.440 talking about it like wins, losses don't matter anymore. No, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.560 what matters his player developed. So I like a lot 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.160 of stuff that Andy Green has said about all of 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.040 these guys. We'll talk about that later maybe too, But 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.160 that's why I like set it off there for the 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:07.720 second inning. Let them show you something. I was like 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.800 off the third do that too. I don't care if 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.560 we win this game, but it was yeah, nice team 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.320 work through that, nice him work through that. And then 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.400 Brett Baty of course, with the big hit in this one, 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.000 which was nice. Clearing the bases, which was huge for us, right, 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.200 that was this game. That was this game. Yeah, did 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.320 he clear the bases? I think there, I think so. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.400 I think it was basic two guys on for a second. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:26.720 He got both home, Yeah, he got he got the 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.200 hit in the in the gap or whatever it was. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.240 But Brett Baby's been swinging the bat better. Op to 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.360 six hundred with Joss the whole this whole thing being 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.760 a two I rally was nice because Field haven't had 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.720 these all year. And then we did it again on Thursday. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:39.920 La Door got started, like you said, though he didn't 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.560 he wasn't really hustling on the infield hit by Polanco, 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.200 and that was that was a strange look. I will say, 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.960 shocked that Gary and Keith did not get on him more. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.920 I don't again, I don't particularly got him this much. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.080 They they said ooh, they made note of it, but 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:54.920
