Speaker 3: I am officially as of like a couple hours ago.

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: The Cambra quality was good besides the Town episode. Don't

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: get me wrong, there was. It was basically good the

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: whole time, except the one time I had to do

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: on my phone in a hostile That was the one,

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: but it still we still got the episode that I

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: still got Frank Motzis talking. That was great. Happy back

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: in America. Transferred back through China, which is super weird,

25
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: but I don't it was just it was strange place.

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 3: No no baseball savon one of the websites that's blocked

27
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: in China. Couldn't get to Baseball Savan with Chinese Wi

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: Fi during during my layover in the airport, which is

29
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: really frustrating, but super super fucking happy to be back

30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: and have like legitimate Mets baseball on television because I

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: think you're right, like there was so much exciting stuff

32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: talk about in the first two day of spring training.

33
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: Part of it like, yeah, this stuff's definitely really exciting.

34
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 3: Part is also like, holy shit, is baseball on TV.

35
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: That's that's the main exciting thing right now, Which is

36
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 3: the best part.

37
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, besides just watching the Mets, I've been

38
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: locked into spring training in general. Like before we even

39
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: started recording this, I was like, see Jack kagleon today,

40
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: hit a ball one fifteen. We've been mentioning random players

41
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: doing big things. It's always fun to see the guys

42
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: that make improvements hit the ball harder, pitching harder, nastier pitches,

43
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: new pitcher repertoires, and we got a couple of those

44
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: guys on our team to talk about. But first, I

45
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: think we have to start this episode with the man,

46
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: the myth, the legend. Juan Soto in his first step bat,

47
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: first game, first ever smelling of the air as a

48
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: New York met on the baseball field, steps up to

49
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: the plate, hits a four hundred and twenty foot home

50
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: run to left center field. He can't make it up

51
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: with this guy. He's unbelievable. The aura that Wan Soto

52
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: has is out of control.

53
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: It's just ridiculous. They stepped up to the play and

54
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: the first time he had that bats and opps fields

55
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: were wrong. Like, dude, I'm not saying Clover Park because

56
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: I got this big Picture's park, but it's like deepest

57
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: part of the Clover Park right there. It's not really

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: easy to get about opposon field in February and Clover

59
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: It's just that was It was also so perfect because

60
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: I think that this was like you're not really suppos

61
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 3: to get that he study best spring training games, like

62
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: we get excited the best spring training games because we're

63
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: like sick in the head, But like this was I

64
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: saw Tacomo Tween that this was the second highest gate

65
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: set tickets ever. His second most tickets sold are for

66
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 3: a spring training opener besides for the Matt Harvey's return

67
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: from time of John surgery in twenty fifteen. That was

68
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 3: number one, where Cindergard pitched in relief, which I thought

69
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 3: was pretty cool, but this was number two. He said,

70
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: Apparently all the riders are saying, the buzz around there

71
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: is crazy. There's so many more people there than usual,

72
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 3: just like there's an energy. The fact that he steps

73
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: up to the play for the first time and just

74
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: annihilate to baseball off of minor leaguer. We'll say that

75
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: who the fuck cares? It was. It was such a

76
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: cool moment. It was kind of like an amazing like wow,

77
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: this is this is We keep saying we're having these

78
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 3: moments like oh wow, this is real. Oh Wow, this

79
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: is real. OHI, this is real, and we're definitely gonna

80
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: have a lot more of them. This was another one

81
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: where I was like, oh wow, this is real.

82
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

83
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: There's not really anything to deep dive into about Wan Soto.

84
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: It's more of the narrative stuff at this point of like,

85
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: holy shit, he's wearing the Mets jerseys he's wearing Oragin blue.

86
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: This feels amazing, This feels perfect, Like ah, I can't

87
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: ask for anything better. And especially one thing that I

88
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: missed as well from this offseason coming back to games.

89
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: We got our favorite uncles back, Gary, Keith and Ron

90
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: for the first game down in Port Saint Lucie. They

91
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: were in peak form already. I don't know how these

92
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: guys don't miss a beat, but literally from day one,

93
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: pitch one, Gary, Keith and Ron were phenomenal as always

94
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: and why is the best?

95
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 2: Yeah?

96
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: Why was the best?

97
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: John D.

98
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: Maursico also put up the video of the solo home run,

99
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: like how it looking in the truck, which I always

100
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: loved to puts those videos up. But like Keith was

101
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: getting distracted by like a pickleball player and they were

102
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: telling stories and the kid was screaming let's go met

103
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: to the top of his lungs. Like it's just it's

104
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: like these kind of things you take for granted when

105
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: this is happening every single day during the summer.

106
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: It's nice to have him back now.

107
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: I know what you've been most excited to talk about here,

108
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: getting into the nitty gritty of pitching. I don't know

109
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: if you guys felt the same way that maybe me

110
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: and James did watching this. I can speak for James

111
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: because I was I was feeling this way. I know

112
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: the pitching man is. Clay Holmes was really really fucking

113
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: impressive in his first start in the majors in a

114
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: very very long time.

115
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: Like, especially for the Mets, it was like, whoa hold on?

116
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: They they might have cooked.

117
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: Here seeing it on the mound. I think it kind

118
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 3: of clicks to a lot of what like we were

119
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: talking about a lots of soft season, but I was

120
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: saying when they signed him, just with a lot of

121
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: people Twy've been saying for a while now, it's just

122
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: but seeing it sometimes, seeing the pitches, seeing how uncomfortable

123
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: that bad is for the other hitters, with how many

124
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: pitches Clay Holmes just pulled out of his bag for

125
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: no damn reason whatsoever. Like results in spring training are cool.

126
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: We love that he went three innings. They were like,

127
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: I think it was three or four strikeouts, And I'm

128
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: saying the results of cool at true, don't even don't

129
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: even remember the results for Clay Holmes, But like the

130
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: shit you want to look at spring training is actionable.

131
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: It was three perfect things with three strikeouts. That's amazing.

132
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: But you want to see the actionable stuff. You want

133
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 3: to see the way pitches are movie. You want to

134
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: see which pitches he's using in wisch counts. You want

135
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: to see how a hardy's throwing. All this stuff is

136
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: really important. And like a lot of people were like,

137
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 3: this is ridiculous. You only faced minor league hillers.

138
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

139
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: Again, he only faced minor league hitherers. That's why we

140
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: kind of have to throw out the results, like three innings,

141
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: three strikeouts. Who cares. But the fact that he's throwing

142
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: this new change up the kick change and it looks disgusting.

143
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: The fact that he got to ninety eight miles an

144
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: hour on a sinker and he held it at ninety

145
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: five over thirty five pitches, that's really awesome. Zacky's got

146
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: a new color that looks like a weapon against the

147
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: Letzi's that's really awesome. The fact that he was using

148
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: the four steamed fastball looked like it had just perfectly

149
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: acceptable pitch traits. Like the fact that he was able

150
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: to marry all those things and bridge all those things

151
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: together in a three inning sample on the mound, which

152
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: he hasn't done that much in the last few years

153
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: at all. He may have only done one or two

154
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 3: three inning appearances in the last few years. It's incredibly, incredibly

155
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: exciting to see the package together and be like, this

156
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 3: is the fact that this is this functional this early

157
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: leaves me to think there might even be more ceiling

158
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 3: on this than we kind of thought the last few months.

159
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: Can you remember the last time a starter win three

160
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 3: innings as well in a spring training debut opener like

161
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: that is also super interesting, which means the Mets are

162
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: very focused on getting him ready for day one to

163
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: be able to give you some length out of the rotation.

164
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: And I'm probably assuming that Frankie Montas going down has

165
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 3: to do with a little bit of that, maybe expediting

166
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: how ready or how many innings Clay Homes could.

167
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: Go to start the year.

168
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: But I think where I wanted to go before we

169
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: start talking more about the pitches and the stuff, is

170
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: that I thought it was really cool too that you know,

171
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: we'll tell you the numbers, we'll tell you the analytic

172
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: stuff for like the nerd talk, but then here like

173
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: Gary Keith and Ron talking about just like visually what

174
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: it looked like watching Clay Holmes pitch, they were like

175
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: kind of oohing an aye over how dominant and how

176
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: in control he was on the mound. And specifically they

177
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: were like, I can't believe how many ground balls worm

178
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: burners or worm killers they were calling it that this

179
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: guy gets no one really pieced up the ball particularly

180
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: well off of him.

181
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: Well, Bryce Matthews did, Oh no, that was Danielle was

182
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: talking about that. Ye. Yeah, but Ron I think also

183
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: specifically mentioned made McKeith. I can't remember that. It looks

184
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: like it hitters are uncomfortable. I think that's the best

185
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: thing for guy that Clay Holmes, whereas he's moved from

186
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: bullpen to rotation, he's never gonna have the crazy stuff anymore.

187
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: Because when you're when you're gassing it up for fifteen

188
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: pitches and you're throwing one hundred miles and now demon

189
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: sinkers and sweepers across his own like it's it's different

190
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: when you're doing max ever for one inning. So all

191
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: this stuff's going to come down a little bit. But

192
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: the key is that if he has enough and he's

193
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: so big and long and kind of overbearing on the

194
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: mount and the sinker is crazy that he can make

195
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: the bad as uncomfortable, and it seems like I think

196
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: Ron mentioned that. I can't remember specifically, it was like

197
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: two o'clock in the morning, I was watching this in Vietnam,

198
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: but that's like, that's what it felt like, That's what

199
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: it seemed like, and then it's yeah. I also mentioned

200
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: last episode two episodes ago. I think it was before

201
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: the mods century that Holmes talked specifically about that he

202
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: was already ups like thirty to fifty pitches in three

203
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: innings because he said that, or maybe I don't remember

204
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: who was May Mendozo was like, it's gonna be a

205
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: long row to get him from fifty to seventy. That's

206
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: going to be the huge heart look, because that's what

207
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: he really hasn't done a very long time. That's going

208
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: to be the jump, which is a big reason why

209
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: he's this far ahead. I think he's probably going to

210
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: be stuck in this spot for another few weeks when

211
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: the other pitchers start moving to four. He might still

212
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: be at three years or getting to four late relative

213
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: Toori is now. But that next leap that he's gonna

214
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: have to make late in March, that's gonna be the

215
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: really important one to see Clay Holmes how much volume

216
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: he can give us early in season and we might

217
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: really need it.

218
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was just thoroughly impressed from the

219
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: first inning if I knew that you had your like

220
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: phone more ready, because again you were like live tweet,

221
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in Vietnam.

222
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: It's gonna be two am. I don't know how much

223
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be able to do.

224
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: But I was texting my dad, I was texting shout

225
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: out of our friend Clay, and we were like, man,

226
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes, it looks looks like a legit starting picture

227
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: right now.

228
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: We're not gonna go to like anything crazy and.

229
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: Be like the next Cy Young and Ace, none of that,

230
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: but like right now, it looks like he is going

231
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: to be We're on the path to be a very

232
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: very capable and we're like valuable starting pitcher in this rotation.

233
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: The worst case scenario is that what he put forward

234
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: was a starter's repertoire, was like a starter's back because

235
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: the sinker still lost. Me threw a lot of those.

236
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: The sweep are still great. He threw a lot of those.

237
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: He threw a couple of the gyro sliders, which is

238
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: like the tight slier that just drops down a little

239
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: bit that you can throw the both lefties and arieties

240
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 3: a handful of those. He's also throwing a new color

241
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: that was coming in harder and had a little bit

242
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: more like kind of lifty like fastball action on it

243
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: that he's gonna be able to pitch against the lefties

244
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: because he can be able to kind of mimic the

245
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: four seam fastball and the color against the lefties. Could

246
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: be able to ton of those pitches so they look similar.

247
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: But the change ups the big deal for Clay Holmes

248
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 3: because he needed something that could possibly make left handed

249
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: hitters swing and miss or just I mean probably more

250
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: of a swing and miss pitch. And this kick change.

251
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: I was talking to the friend of the program, pitching

252
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: development god, Isaac Groffman about this. It's a very new pitch,

253
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: like it's not something that's been thrown a lot. And

254
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: that's because when pitchers throw it for you guys watching

255
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 3: us on YouTube, they had the two fingers around the

256
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: ball and they kind of kick it, they kind of

257
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: spike it with their middle finger. So it's a hard

258
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: thing to control. But apparently it's better when you have

259
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 3: longer fingers to control it with your other two, which

260
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: is good for Clay Holmes. Apparently the only guys been

261
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: able to do this well for the last few years

262
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 3: is Loco Web. He's turned that pitcher to a complete weapon.

263
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: He kind of uses that with the sinker, just enough

264
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 3: fastballs and colors to make it all come together. But

265
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: it still wasn't even like that good yet, because like

266
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: Clay Holmes working this offseason at TRED and Ben Brewster

267
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: from tread Quotes with You, Isaac, it was basically like, yeah,

268
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: he was getting to net. He was getting to negative

269
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: ten induced vertical break, which is like ten I don't

270
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: even know how to grab on the podcast. But it

271
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: was dropping a lot more, is the best way cloak

272
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: Away says. It was dropping a lot more. Klay's was

273
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: barely dropping and he was throwing a ninety miles an hour,

274
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: which is kind of hard as fuck, especially you're still

275
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: getting between like ninety five and ninety seven with the fastballs.

276
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 3: It's awesome, like this is such a good development. I

277
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 3: can't even imagine how positive Clay holmes The spring debut

278
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: could have been. I even thought it was crazy that

279
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: they made him the first spring training start. With all

280
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: of this kind I'm not gonna say pressure riding on it,

281
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: but I think he was the one where we were

282
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: going to learn the most, the most suit with Clay

283
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: Holmes pitching and the fact that was the first one

284
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: bang in our face, that's great.

285
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: And the part of the reason too, is like they

286
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: wanted to see him early. Let's throw him into the

287
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: first game so we know exactly what we have to

288
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: attack with him, and we have the most time rather

289
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: than waiting three or four extra days.

290
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: Those could be valuable.

291
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the biggest thing again with Clay

292
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: Holmes is that he worked up to thirty. Cool, but

293
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: you could do thirty. Thirty is easy. He did thirty

294
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: as a closer plenty of times. It's going to be

295
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: the fifty sixty seventy. That's huge. And the fact that

296
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: his fastball, because he didn't really throw in the bullpenks

297
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: is the forcing fastball is not that good of a pitch.

298
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: It's okay pitch. When that's ninety four, ninety five, ninety six,

299
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: you can get away with shit. Ninety four is the

300
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: magic number. If he starts extending the seventy pitches and

301
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: that fastball falls below ninety four. This outlook is going

302
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: to change a lot, So keep looking on where he's

303
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 3: sitting with his velocity when this number keeps going up.

304
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 3: That's the one thing to look out for. But the

305
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: end of the day, we're just so incredibly encouraged by

306
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: this first clay Holmes start right.

307
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,240

00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: you about in a moment. But buying in the past

313
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 4: was clunky.

314
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: It wasn't easy. It wasn't easy. But now you don't

315
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: have to worry about any of the shipping and it's

316
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: all just it's easy right there. It's guaranteed authentic too

317
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: for me, so I don't have to worry about that

318
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: big exactly.

00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,920

Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was.

328
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: It was really really encouraging, and I'm excited to see

329
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: what he does the rest of the spring and can't

330
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: wait to see what he can do during the regular season.

331
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little bit strange watching the game,

332
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: did you?

333
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't. I shouldn't say this.

334
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was a little bit strange, but

335
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: it is a weird question that I feel like we've

336
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: talked about on this podcast probably more than anybody. But

337
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: everybody was wearing the purple Grimace jerseys. I think that

338
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: might have been because of the seven line. They looked great.

339
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: The jerseys looked awesome. Do we are we still holding

340
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: on to Grimace and the OMG stuff still is? Are

341
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: we are we grasping a little too tight trying to.

342
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: Keep that around?

343
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: It seems like that the team might try to and

344
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: not that's necessarily like the team team's fallow away but

345
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: just seems like the fans are continuing to gravitate towards that,

346
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: so the team would be stupid not to continue to market.

347
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: Of course, it's also awkward where like Wan So hits

348
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: a home run and like Jose Glacier's comments OMG and

349
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: the Mets official Instagram page, and the next day Nick

350
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: Magical might have separated his shoulder, which is even more

351
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: awkward for this whole conversation. But just to me, it

352
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: feels like to me, it feels like if you have

353
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: you have a new team's new guys in the locker room,

354
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: you have to figure out new shit, Like you have

355
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: to let these things come organical, like those things were

356
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: so great last year because they came organically. If you

357
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: force a bit, if you force a thing, it always stinks,

358
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 3: it never works out. So I do think that I

359
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 3: also did feel like it was kind of weird that

360
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: they were still doing OMG stuff. Like I love Jay Customs,

361
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: I think he should keep making his science the signs

362
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: of dope, but I think specifically for the team and

363
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: the fans, Twitter everything, we probably should leave that. It worked.

364
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: It was perfect for us, but it's it's I don't know,

365
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 3: you have to definitely see where they take us.

366
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: It's it will be interesting if Jose Iglesias is legitimately

367
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: not on this team, what you do with like the

368
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: OMG stuff, or if he even weirder ever plays for

369
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: another team, what do you do with that? It's gotta

370
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: be over then, right, it's like no longer applicable to

371
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Mets.

372
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: I even feel bad right now for this whole Nick

373
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: Theagrigal situation because he didn't ask to get signed as

374
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: like as an optionable player in this Mets team or

375
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: not an oportubal player. He asked for the invite to

376
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: spring training, and people hate him because he's not Jose

377
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: Glacias and he happens to get hurt when he was

378
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: like playing some decent shortstop, Like he's trying to be

379
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 3: fresh of ball players, trying to like make a living,

380
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: and people like his Instagram posts to like about like

381
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: being injured and stuff, like people comedic about Hoose Lacias,

382
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: Like that's kind of sad for him. That's like definitely

383
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: cringe behavior. I'm not super proud of mess Fands for.

384
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little honey mall what we

385
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: were seeing today on Twitter when it was announced, like

386
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: Tim Heely is putting out tweets and Diacomo and everybody

387
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: about how Nick Madrigal left the game with shoulder discomfort,

388
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: and you have people excited that this means Jose Glazer

389
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: come back and listen. I agree, Jose Glacias is a

390
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: better player than Nick Madrigal. I'm not going to be

391
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: making that argument that Madrigal deserves a spot over Iglesias.

392
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: I would prefer Glasias. I think he's better. I think

393
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: he's better for this team to better fit. But at

394
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: the same time, like the weird like public cheering. I

395
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's like meant to be a personal shot

396
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: at Nick Madrigal, but it's always weird to like be

397
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: celebrating guy's injury because you think it might help somebody else.

398
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: Always awkward.

399
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: Along with the fact that people were, like David Stearns,

400
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: oh for two, it's like you think Nick Madrigal is

401
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: one of these big East moves Jose Glacier started to

402
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: hear in Triple A last year, like we have to

403
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: gain some perspective again.

404
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: I think everybody was very excited Baseball's back.

405
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: Everybody's ready that it's going, but sometimes we can take

406
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of deep breath. I know, we uh,

407
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: I mean myself included kind of have had some overreactions

408
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: on this podcast the things that the Mets have done.

409
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: Don't want to turn into that fan base though, by

410
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: any beans.

411
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gotta be nice to the guys on the field.

412
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: Like it's again like Macmagical's just do right out trying

413
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: to make a living. He's trying to try to trying

414
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: to keep the career going, and like I I was

415
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: probably I'm sure he's not reading this stuff either, but

416
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: it's just not I was never nice to like use

417
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: someone getting like tearing someone down to try and pull

418
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: somebody up, Like that's just not that cool, especially when

419
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: I think a big reason that even Nick Magical is

420
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: brought here in the first place is because it doesn't

421
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: matter if he doesn't make the team, you know what

422
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Like Davis starts bringing him in the exact

423
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: same way he brought in Jose Glaciers last year, where

424
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: it's like you can be here, you cannot be here.

425
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: But like the first the most important thing is seeing

426
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: what some of these young guys have. I think that's

427
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: going to be a big theme this spring, and I

428
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: know that he's kind of becoming mister March. It's kind

429
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: of always been his thing. But Brett Bay they smacking

430
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: one hundred time mile and now double to the pull

431
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: side today. But I see with my eyes against a

432
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: major league believer, Hissustnoko is kind of not really bad.

433
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: I still think about those things, so those saws still

434
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: creeping in my mind. I kind of can't really do

435
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: anything about it.

436
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: Call him schmetch Mady, and all of a sudden you're

437
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: thinking really big, exciting things for schmetzch Mady. But because

438
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: he has Brett Baty, people get a little bit worried.

439
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: And I get it. I understand the concerns. I saw

440
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: someone on Twitter comp them to Kelly Johnson, and I

441
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: can't shake it. I looked at their stances, they even

442
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: someone look the same. They have similar builds. Brett Batty

443
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: is more of a third base more. I think Kelly

444
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: Johnson was more of a second baseman. But hey, when

445
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: we see Brett Baty might be trying to play a

446
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: little bit of second base, I think Brett Baty would

447
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: be pretty bumped if his career turned into Kelly Johnson.

448
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: I had like a ten year career was worth like

449
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: twenty war. I mean, there are ground balls a short

450
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: stop too, baby, which is kind of amazing. He's like

451
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: making himself this much more valuable versatility get in the field.

452
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: But I do think that it's also something we talked

453
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: about a lot in this podcast, that development for these

454
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: prospects not linear, like things not automatic. It's kind of funny.

455
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: I say this because I'm right now podcasting in the

456
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: same spot in my same friends kitchen that I was

457
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: when we did our emergency episode two years ago when

458
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 3: Brett Bady got called up after that series against the Dodgers,

459
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: when Shares got kicked out with sticky stuff because I

460
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 3: wanted to break up to travel from LA So I'm

461
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: in here hanging out for a few days, but I've

462
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 3: been in the sac same spot. I'm kind of thinking,

463
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: this is weird. These are the things that are in

464
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 3: my brain, is what I think about when I'm like

465
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: kind of zoning out. And it was literally standing on

466
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,239
Speaker 3: the customs line like re entering the country today, I

467
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: was like, I wonder if David Stearns was the general

468
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: manager in like twenty one, twenty two to twenty three,

469
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 3: Like when Alphas and Baby actually would have gotten called

470
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: up a debut, Like how much of that was Eppler

471
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: not really having a good gripper grasp on these things

472
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: and rushing these guys. Because there was a Twitter user

473
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: that commented on my post about Brett Baty today at

474
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: J four M three five P four l l M

475
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 3: t R three three it was a great the other

476
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: ones were taken. Yeah, right, I'm saying right now because

477
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: he made a great points.

478
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: Man.

479
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 3: I never really realized about Brett Baby and Viento's their comparisons,

480
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: that Fiano's has played so much more Triple A baseball

481
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 3: on Brett Bailey, so much more. It was kind of ridiculous.

482
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 3: Brett Baty has played eighty five Triple A games, Mark

483
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: Fianta has played over two hundred Triple A games in

484
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: their careers. And when you think about the fact that

485
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: both of them were drafted out of high school, and

486
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 3: you think about how much more professional baseball Mark Fiantas

487
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: has played than Brett Bailey, and how much lay there

488
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: in his career he's broken out than Brett Baby was

489
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: experiencing different places. It kind of clicks in a little bit.

490
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, maybe Brett Bage got called up way

491
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: too early for someone who entered the Mets system over

492
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: aged and under expedure games with big physical tools. He

493
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 3: got pushed through quickly because he keeps playing well. He

494
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: hit his first roadblock. We've kind of left him at

495
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: this roadblock, and it probably isn't the worst thing to

496
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 3: continue to have faith in the guy like this, maybe

497
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: not to be a superstar All Star caliber player, but

498
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 3: they just develop into a ballplayer one day.

499
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the Mets could use a lot of

500
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: good baseball players. Not everyone's listen. I'd love to have

501
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: an All Star and MVP player at every single position

502
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 1: like the Los Angeles Dodgers, But ninety nine point nine

503
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: percent of teams will never have that, never will even

504
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: come close to having that. And these guys like Brett Baty,

505
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: who can just be major league players that give a

506
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: positive impact to your team year after year, are so

507
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: insanely valuable, especially when we're spending fifty million dollars on

508
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: one player like we are Atwan Soda and one player

509
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: is going to play right field indeed, which just helps

510
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: to have like cheaper options on the roster. And we

511
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: did a couple episodes ago We did the projecting the

512
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: Mets roster in twenty thirty episode, and it's kind of

513
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: it's a fun game.

514
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: Think about that. For a team like the Mets, who

515
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: we know is gonna spend a shit ton of money,

516
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 3: you really really need to have these cheap stop gaps

517
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 3: all over the field. Another guy who's going get a

518
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 3: shot the spring. Louis and Helicunya haven't seen much yet.

519
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 3: We're probably also still in the spot where it's learning

520
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: about which Luis on Helicunya is real and what kind

521
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: of what version of him is going to be. The

522
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: real ones obviously going to be not as good as

523
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: one at the end of the season last year, and

524
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: I think it's definitely almost definitely going to be someone

525
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 3: better than who was not very good trip play last year.

526
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: But it's about against still giving him the space to grow,

527
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 3: which is why Jose Glacer was good in the roster

528
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: last year. It is why Nick Madrigal petition begin the

529
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: roster this year, finding the opportunities for these guys, not

530
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: forcing them to come up too early, and kinds of

531
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: it's because it could be counteract with their development like

532
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: it probably was for Brett Baby.

533
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, they talked about it on the broadcast to say

534
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: too the thought of Luis on Helicunya, And then they

535
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: had guys like Donovan Walton who by no means it's

536
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: exciting to talk about it or anyone to Nick Madrigal

537
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: and they were saying, the Mets right now have to

538
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: make the decision. Lindor is gonna play short stop every

539
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: single day until he gets hurt, and when he gets hurt,

540
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: you could you figure out who plays shortstop then? So

541
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: do you really need to carry a guy that can

542
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: play shortstop when realistically there is no scenario where you

543
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: need to have a guy to fill that spot at

544
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: any moment. And that's why guys like Brett Baty and

545
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: maybe even I guess like Coon you because he could

546
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: play second base two but like, we don't necessarily need

547
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: the backup shortstop, which also kind of hurts I Glaciers

548
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: in a way.

549
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: I guess as well, we really.

550
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: Don't need it at all. We didn't use it last

551
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: year for a big chunk of the first half the

552
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 3: season until the Glaciers kind of came on the team.

553
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 3: They also probably if when thinking about specifically a guy

554
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: like Brett Bay and he got like Jared Young's starting

555
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: to get some at bads two. Yes, it's it's kind

556
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 3: of the idea of like, oh, it would be nice

557
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: to have another additional lefty on the roster because late

558
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: in games you want to make the match. Oh, Jared

559
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: Young actually has I don't think he's had that bad yet.

560
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: He got one today, he got hit.

561
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: We got today a right there we go got hit

562
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: by a pitch. He got hit by a pitch and

563
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: he popped up to the infield, so I see. Also

564
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 3: he took go a walk at some point sor right. Well,

565
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: we'll take all that. But it's nice to just keep

566
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: having optionable guys over here to mix a match. So

567
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: the more players that we can have that can move around,

568
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: where Jared Young is one of them, Brett Baedy is

569
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: one of them, Ryan Risio is one of them, loose

570
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: Nela Kunier are one of them. The fact that we

571
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 3: have these guys that can go up, down, back forth,

572
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: it's helpful for these puzzle pieces rather than just making

573
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: that backup infielder a guy like Iglesias who's like locked

574
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: in guarantee contract has to be there every single day

575
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 3: and doesn't give you as much flexibility. The thing that

576
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: David Stearns says openly all the time that he loves

577
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: so much.

578
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, and another reason why Jeff McNeill will be going

579
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: absolutely nowhere because he can play the infield, he can

580
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: play the outfield. And I gotta say the swings that

581
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 1: I saw in the first game absolutely loved him.

582
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: From Jeff looked like old Jeff mcgial.

583
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't hitting the ball, like he didn't

584
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: get any hits I don't think in the first game,

585
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: but he was keeping his shoulder and he wasn't running

586
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: out of the box, which is something that we saw

587
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: last year way too often. He looked healthy, the contact

588
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: looked really good. Excited to see what Jeff can do

589
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: this year. I really think he's gonna bounce back big time.

590
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 3: And we also got a not watch from a body

591
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: Jordan Jordan Simpson that Jeff has switched to a bat.

592
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 3: I don't remember if it was the dove tailor away

593
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 3: from the dovetail don't remember. I can't find a DM

594
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 3: right now, but that is supposedly he said, would give

595
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: him more power. Yes, and Jeff talked on MB network.

596
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: He was like, he switched this bat to try and

597
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 3: find more power. And I don't think a lot of

598
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: people really realize how good he was for more than

599
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: a half before the finger of the wrist, the hit

600
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: by pitch the end of the season last season. But

601
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 3: he was hitting for power when he actually got hot.

602
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: It was not slapped the ball around the yard Jeff McNeil.

603
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: It was the Jeff mcnil. But we saw years and

604
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: years ago where he was kind of driving in those

605
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: low pitches and pulling them out of the ballpark. Like

606
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 3: that's the Jeff McNeil. That is the best version of himself.

607
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 3: That's Jeff McNeil can give the most value to the

608
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 3: team and he's going to get a lot of the

609
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: best to season unless something goes horribly wrong. So that's

610
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 3: definitely the version Jeff McNeil I want in this roster. Again,

611
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: everything that we're saying this isn't bad things about Jose Laces. Honestly,

612
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: it's kind of the opposite. It's really unfair. The Jose

613
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: glacis super sucks that he could play so well last

614
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: year and be such a useful player, and the team

615
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: that he did that for is like we probably want you,

616
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: don't even want to guarantee you a contract but that's

617
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: also just the way baseball works for older guys now,

618
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 3: which again it sucks, is not fair, but it's just

619
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: that's just the way of the beast.

620
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: And also no one's knocking on his door.

621
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: The Mets can literally wait until probably a week or

622
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: two before the season starts if they really want Jose Igalasias,

623
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: and I guarantee he'll be ready to go again.

624
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: He's I mean, he's commenting on their Instagram. It's becoming

625
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: a little sad.

626
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean, had I saw the lunch with John Hayman.

627
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: There's pictures of hit them having lunch. I was like,

628
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, I just I missed my buddy Jose Glaciers.

629
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 2: But at the same time, like, oh, what are we

630
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: gonna do?

631
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just I hope. I don't know how it's

632
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 3: going to get resolved, but I just it's it's I like,

633
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: I kind of like that as distracting from other things

634
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: that could be stories right now. So it's like we

635
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: could worry about Jose Glaciers, springs train and just let

636
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 3: the guys do what they gotta do, because there's just

637
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: there's a lot of other guys doing cool stuff right

638
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: now in the Mets. I want to talk about another

639
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: picture real quick. I want talk about Max Kranick, someone

640
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: who we popularized a little bit, got big on Mess

641
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: Twilter last year. Because you grew up a Mets fan

642
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 3: season ticket holder, David had his favorite player growing up.

643
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 3: He showed up on Sunday and was throwing bebies. It

644
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: was like the stuff was kind of stupid. I saw

645
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: a couple of the Mets pitching people on Twitter. I

646
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 3: saw Isaac, I saw My, I got Mikey, mj D analysis,

647
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: Jared Syler Baseball Perspectives, basically saying like this was what

648
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: Chranic was showing towards the end of last season leagues,

649
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: but it wasn't really it didn't he didn't get the

650
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: spot to the click yet. But now seeing the fact

651
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 3: that he's throwing a fastball twenty inches of invery vertical break,

652
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 3: getting that crazy hop on the fact that he's throwing

653
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: a super unique sweeper it has like lift on it

654
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: that can kind of play off the fastball, the fact

655
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 3: that he's got the gyro slide of the way, the

656
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: fact that he's using a curveball too, the fact that

657
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 3: he's showing it like a true four pitch mix, and

658
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: he's someone who doesn't even really have a role, Like

659
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 3: he threw a two winning thing on Sunday, so I

660
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: guess that means he's being stretched out as a starter.

661
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 3: But there's definitely a world where Max Cranics showing this

662
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: stuff and that kind of fastball sweeper combo. He could

663
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: definitely be this year's budo where he starts the year

664
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 3: in the rotation, see how it goes. But then if

665
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: we want the stuff to play up and things get in,

666
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: you move to the ballped you could suddenly be a

667
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: high leverage guy. That's good. Does Max Kranick have options?

668
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: I know he came up in twenty one and twenty

669
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 3: twenty two with the Potters, he has he has an option,

670
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: and he's again this is still the first Max Kranic

671
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: still isn't pitch in the major league since he had

672
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: Timy John surge in twenty twenty two. Like this is

673
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: this still someone where he's kind of like untouched on

674
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 3: feather Player. He's only a twenty seven year old too,

675
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 3: so it's not like this is someone who's like even

676
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 3: close over the hill. Like this just seems like another

677
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: one of these guys in the mess. I wouldn't call

678
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 3: him glob of kass because that's a reserved for the

679
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: one inning relievers. But just in the mess of Mets

680
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: pitching depth with an option that we're probably overlooking right now,

681
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: that there's a good chance that they're going to rely

682
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: on for something like seventy eighty innings and hope to

683
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: get a four to one era.

684
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of Tommy John, did you see everybody's favorite pitching

685
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: prospects of the Mets?

686
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: Oh, Matt Allen. Did you see the news about him?

687
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 3: Oh? I mean I did a little bit, but fill

688
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: me in.

689
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Tacoma on February twentieth. They've been doing a

690
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: lot of stuff on Matt Allen because it's got the

691
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: first time he's pitching in real games since twenty nineteen

692
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: and in case you guys can't do math, that is

693
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: six years ago. He has not pitched in the major

694
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: He has not pitched a professional baseball game in five

695
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: plus seasons. He's been throwing in minor league camp and

696
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: he's up to ninety seven miles an hour. That's kind

697
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: of crazy.

698
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: Can I give you another crazy stab about Matt Allen?

699
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 2: Hit me with it.

700
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: Matt Allen is younger than Brandon's prote what, yes, was

701
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 3: almost twenty five years old.

702
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: I know, but how is that possible?

703
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 3: How is Matthew Allens drafted as a high schooler?

704
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: Crazy?

705
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: What is that insane?

706
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 2: That's absolutely nuts.

707
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 3: I mean, listen again, that's also a funny thing to

708
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: think about in terms of, like all of these guys compared.

709
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: He's actually almost a year young. He's six months younger

710
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: than Brandice Bro He's not even twenty four yet. Matthew Allen,

711
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: that's crazy.

712
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: That's that's whatever. I mean. The story is good.

713
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: I really hope the best Room Health Wives and I

714
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: would love to be in months from now during our

715
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: prospect reports be talking about Matt allen resurgence and the comeback, right,

716
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: that'd be amazing. But I just you mentioned the Tommy

717
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: John thing and you know, not really pitching at the majors.

718
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, Matt Allen. How could we

719
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: forget to mention him.

720
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: It's just it's again, it's a great story. If he

721
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: even gets to one major league geting, I think it'll

722
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 3: be just so so so cool. For everything about back Room.

723
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: It's kind of like our honeywelling away. Yeah, it's just

724
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 3: like injury after injury after injury, like even just getting

725
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 3: there whatever you can wind up giving, like becoming a

726
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: major league and like cashing some checks, like that's gonna

727
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: be very cool. One more, actually two more, of course,

728
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 3: two more leaguers want to talk about talk about the

729
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: until we move on and the end of show stuff.

730
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: So I think I think the first guy from the

731
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: glob of casts isficially emerged someone I mentioned briefly in

732
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 3: passing in the winter months. He was actually one of

733
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: the first guys that the Mets signed all the way

734
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 3: back in November sixth. Rico Garcia got four of us.

735
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 3: It's a plus fastball. It's that low slot, like nice

736
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: ride on it, but the flast these and great is

737
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: kind of like it's kind of like a little bit

738
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: lower than dead nail. So it's probably not the high

739
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: end ceiling, but someone who coul definitely a middle reliever,

740
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: and he's got two great breaking balls that could face

741
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: guys on both sides of plate. He's got the tight

742
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 3: gyro slide that has tons of drop on it. Then

743
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 3: he has a curveball with tons to drop on it,

744
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 3: and it kind of like both of them are kind

745
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: of like different death ball variations where like ones like

746
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: the small death ball, ones like the big death ball.

747
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: But basically that's someone who already has a three pitch

748
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: bag against both right these n lefties who can come

749
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: in with the fastballs going to miss bats even though

750
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: it's not the upper nineties. And as long as this

751
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: guy stays healthy because it in his thirty he's barely

752
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 3: pitching the major leagues, that's someone who could definitely be

753
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 3: someone who mixes in middle relief this year, which is incredible.

754
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: You gotta take a shot at who the other guy

755
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: that you liked was, because I mean, we've all we've

756
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: I definitely know technically had three games. But Tyler Zuoper's

757
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: got to be the other guy as the possible glob

758
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: of chaos one.

759
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: Hundred percent of the other guy, Rica Garcia. He has

760
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: thirty five total Major beguinnings between twenty nineteen and twenty

761
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 3: twenty three, and he's thirty one years old, doesn't have

762
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: an options. He might be one that if he is

763
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: good enough, he'll stay in the bullpen, or if not,

764
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: he'll be someone they definitely try to fit in if

765
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: they think he's good enough. But Tyler Zuber also we

766
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: love Tyler Zuber because he's like so active on Twitter

767
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: and he's so much fun. It seems like he loves

768
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 3: like all the Mets culture around them. He looked great.

769
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 3: He did that thing the Mets love where they had

770
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: a forcing fastball, a cover and a sinker. He also

771
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 3: threw a sweeper that was his primary pitch and was

772
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: pretty pretty, pretty pretty nasty. And I think that pitch,

773
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 3: if I remember correctly, also had more drop and more

774
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: sweep on it than it had last year. It came

775
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 3: in a bit slower, so could be some experimentation there

776
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 3: for Tyler Zuber, someone who is getting more movement on

777
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 3: that pitch, a pitch that's going to be his primary pitch. Yeah,

778
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: it was. It was five more inches of verythical break

779
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: at three more inches of horizontal break and three miles

780
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: an hour slower, which is more sweep across his own

781
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: and with the color of the fastball and the sinker.

782
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: Of course, that's the thing the Mets love Like this

783
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: is it's so cool that the Mets pitchings velm is

784
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: getting to a spot now with Stearn's being here for

785
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: over a year, Hefner being here for a while, and

786
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: Niagger's being here for a while that you can watch

787
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 3: the trends happen real time and you can spot these

788
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: guys that the Mets are literally manufacturing to become these

789
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: like major league caliber relievers, like see you in real

790
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: time like projected when we think it's going to happen

791
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: watching real time, then like hopefully enjoy the fruits like

792
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: during the summer. It's such a privilege rooting forward main

793
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: content about like a baseball team that is smart and

794
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: has good process and does all these little things on

795
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 3: the edges, right, It's so fucking cool.

796
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: Don't don't tell some people on Twitter that David Stearns

797
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: is not the favorite amongst a certain group of Met fans,

798
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: which is very interesting to me still to this day.

799
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: Now he's literally my favorite people on Earth two. Zuber

800
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: also does have an option, which is a cool thing.

801
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: Oh he does nice. You know he's playing for the

802
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: Long Island Ducks last year. I didn't know that I

803
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: know either. I mean cause he I think he was

804
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: in the Mets organization and then he was not, and

805
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 3: then he came back something like that.

806
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: No, he was.

807
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: He was mckinna city guy back in the day. Can't

808
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: see Royals he pished multiple years in the majors with them.

809
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, he made like fifty something

810
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: appearances with the Royals, which is kind of crazy. Then

811
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: he went to Arizona, didn't do anything, got to the Rays.

812
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: Pitched in the majors last year with the Rays and

813
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: the long ey On Ducks, which is so Tampa Bay

814
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: Rays that a guy that was pitching on the Ducks

815
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: would also pitch on their major league roster in the

816
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: same year.

817
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, raise everything. Also, sixth round pick whe Rico Garcia

818
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: I'm looking at his now is a thirtieth round pick

819
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen.

820
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: Oh like that? Like that, he's a grinder. He went

821
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: to Hawaii Pacific, that's not even the main campus, and.

822
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: Zuper went to Arkansas State.

823
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: A couple couple well, Arkansas stateht what Hawaii Pacific? I

824
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: don't I don't even know what that could possibly be.

825
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Met's pitching's gonna be fun. As always,

826
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: we will keep a close eye on it. Anything else

827
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: to talk, Oh, I know what I wanted to talk about.

828
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, are the small things.

829
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Francisco Alvarez has a new stance. It looks exactly

830
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: like JD. Martinez's he's a little more upright. He is

831
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: loading or at least getting like, oh, what's the right word,

832
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: not activated, damn it, I can't think of the word.

833
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: But there's there's something with his hands and his load,

834
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: and basically like it's getting him more like launchable, if

835
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: that makes sense. And he pieced up a couple of

836
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: balls today, not necessarily even about lift. It's like something

837
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: about like being activated, getting snapped into a position and

838
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: to hit for some power. So he looked really comfortable,

839
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: and again he's trying to prioritize having a better year

840
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: at the plate this year, as he said very openly

841
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: so far. And then in the same game, we saw

842
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: simon Ian, you guys might remember from a couple international

843
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: signing class as a go nineteen ye years old, hit

844
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: an absolute nuke of a home run, a three run

845
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: shot to left field, nineteen having the pop that he

846
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: showed in that.

847
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 2: I mean, that's me and you love like tools, tools, tools.

848
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: That tool right there is pretty insane from in game

849
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: power as well. Totally.

850
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: We got upsess with team on one last spring training

851
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: when he had two bad at balls. I think at

852
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 3: least one was off a major League that was over

853
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 3: one hundred and eight miles an hour. Then to watch

854
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: him in the box today, sawt in there I can't

855
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: get rid of, like jorgece hil Air comps and I

856
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: see him in the box, just a big power, the

857
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: very loopy right handed swing that's like pretty violent. Like

858
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: I was like, oh baby, I see that, but that

859
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: was It's just nice to see. And again, it's cool

860
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: for these prospects to have these little moments in spring

861
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: training that we can kind of like put a pin

862
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: in them and be able to go back to them

863
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 3: when things go bad and things go good. Also, that

864
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 3: game didn't have stack cast, so exciting for some of

865
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: these guys who don't have stack gass available most of

866
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 3: the games they played, to be able to see eggs

867
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: of loss these sea pitch movement. It's just such a

868
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: cool little caveat as to get data on guys you

869
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: don't often get data on.

870
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: Last thing I want to mention from the games, the

871
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: Marlins could go down as one of the worst offensive

872
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: teams in history. I can't even believe the players that

873
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: they're running out in their lineup and hitting at the

874
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: top of the order.

875
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 3: It's crazy to me.

876
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know if I'm happy or sad that

877
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: we're playing the big at the beginning of the year.

878
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: I guess we'll find out.

879
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 3: No, I wrote, I wrote there on their team preview

880
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: for the World the World Fantasy Baseball Guy, and then

881
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: going through their position players we're going to play the season.

882
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: It was shocking. Daan Myers.

883
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: Did you have a staff editor, said Clayton McCullough. No.

884
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: He said that they have two everyday players and it's

885
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Connor Norby and Xavior Edwards. They said every other position

886
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: will be based on platoons and matchups, which is kind

887
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: of a little bit of chaos, and I kind of

888
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: respect it for a team that is complete dog shit.

889
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I do respect it. And there's thing

890
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: also some guys was like, again, like a mod the

891
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: come up major league potential on that team, but it's

892
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 3: it's it's embarrassing what they did to a playoff roster

893
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: in two years. Also really sick to see what Sandy

894
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 3: al contric could do one He's definitely just crazy. And

895
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: then I think it was Allen members was Bendixer McCulla

896
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: after the game is like, yeah, he's back. No restrictions

897
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, this guy's just literally a freak of nature.

898
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: So cool to see him back. I think baseball's better

899
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: guys like Sandiale contract throwing BB's for two hundred forty

900
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: things at a time. Also, one more thing I want

901
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: to talk about, which especially we'realking a lot about social

902
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: media stuff that the games are going on. I think

903
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: the Mets fans Yankee fans got dial back off each other.

904
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: It's become too much. It become way too much like

905
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: they were Yankee fans tweeting like wan So of the

906
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 3: Clay Holmes hate watch today and then all the Mets

907
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: fans like jumping on them to the quote tweets like

908
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 3: the Yankees fans shouldn't be worried the best spring training

909
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: games for hate watch Mets fans. You should not be

910
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: glowing the best spring training results in any way, shape

911
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: or form. So I think everyone bring the swords down

912
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: until May we get the Subway series going here.

913
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree.

914
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: I've definitely seen some stuff where I'm like, like, I

915
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: love seeing Yankee fans hate the Mets. That's awesome. I'm

916
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: all about that. I don't think we need to clap back.

917
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: I think there's no reason to. We got their guy,

918
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: We got the seven hundred million dollar man that they

919
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: went after.

920
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 2: He chose us over them. Let the play let the

921
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: player let that through the talking.

922
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't think we need to be clapping just yet

923
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: when both of our records are zero and.

924
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: Zero right now.

925
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's also I think it was also maybe just

926
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: maybe extra funny this weekend when they lifted the beard policy,

927
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: because that was incredible.

928
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean time that they've done that, But it

929
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: was also very funny that they did. And it's like

930
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: the Mets Wan Soto first game the Yankees, we lifted

931
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: the beard policy.

932
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 3: I will say this might be my hot to take.

933
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 3: I hate that they lifted it, and I think it

934
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 3: was a cool thing.

935
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 5: It made the unique No, it was so not cool,

936
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 5: but the fact that was so not cool maybe it

937
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 5: made the Yankees like this kind that like the Yankees

938
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 5: always had this regal thing and it wasn't real, but

939
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 5: they were like, we won World Series fifty years ago

940
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 5: and then none of our players kind of facial hair.

941
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 3: Like that was kind of part of the mystique. Like

942
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 3: I again, if they get rid of the beard policy,

943
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 3: I think they should put Monument Park back in the

944
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 3: field of play, just to show off how great their

945
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 3: history is. Because now I don't know how we know

946
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 3: the Yankees have mystique anymore if their players have beards,

947
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 3: like they're gonna put names on the back and next

948
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 3: what we're gonna do about this a little probably.

949
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: A little more inclusive.

950
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: I think that that rule could have been made for

951
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: some diabolical reasons that maybe are not the most PC

952
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: right now.

953
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's still just I don't know, it's it's it's

954
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 3: crazy they still had that rule. I thought it was

955
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 3: funny that they like had a press release in the

956
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: for say a spring training. I'm not having it anymore.

957
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,959
Speaker 3: They're like meetings between how Stein Brunn and Aaron Boone

958
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: and Aaron Judge and Carl Stanton.

959
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: Fucked up that they like had the player's shave and

960
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: then they announced it they might just do this in December, November.

961
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 3: Some shit. Maybe you still have one so though, if

962
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: you've lightened up a little bit. But I think the

963
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: last thing I want to talk about too, something I

964
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 3: think we missed last week because I was still in

965
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: chaos with the Frankie Mattis thing, the preaking news. But

966
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: when Steve Cohen gave his press conference about fan attendance

967
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 3: about the casino and Flushing definitely kind of some weirdish

968
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: vibes sometimes. Yeah, I think we briefly mentioned it. I

969
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 3: was like, it was a different side of Steve Cohen

970
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: that we haven't seen. I feel like business business Steve

971
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 3: co Yeah, we saw a business man Steve Cohen right there.

972
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 3: We saw billionaire Steve Cohen, not the guy that gets

973
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: things done yet not not want soda.

974
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: How much money do you want, Steve Cohen? This is

975
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: like I need to make some money now, Steve Cohen.

976
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 2: I mean, listen.

977
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: I can understand his frustration as a new owner and

978
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: seeing the amount of money that he's invested and being like,

979
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: how the fuck are we eighteenth in attendance, But also

980
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: at the same time, the team was what dogshit for

981
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: the first nine games of the season.

982
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 3: They were really bad totally, but also came comes back

983
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 3: to something that we were critical of. I think we

984
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 3: both got shipped for a twitter about that. We were

985
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 3: at that NAT Series towards the end of the year

986
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: where it was do or die games. I think the

987
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: match we won a walk off, and I think we

988
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: went to every game that yeriar is. There was a

989
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 3: walk off, there was another close game, and he was like,

990
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: no one's in the ballpark that week. It was crazy.

991
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe. It's like we were we were drawing

992
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 3: only like ten thousand and fifteen thousand people. Which I do

993
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 3: agree with him where it's like how if the fans

994
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 3: are coming to that game, like what game are they

995
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 3: coming to? But I think it also does make sense

996
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 3: with it's just hard to draw game people to Flushing

997
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: Queens in a week night. That was a cool night

998
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 3: when school starts. That's hard. But I also think that

999
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 3: it is getting a little weit with the casino stuff too.

1000
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: With him the fact that he was asked point blank,

1001
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 3: if there's not going to be a casino, we're still

1002
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: gonna do the project? He said maybe no, Like I

1003
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 3: think we want that project. We need the parked trains, restaurants, definitely,

1004
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 3: we need we need that stuff with Brown City Field,

1005
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: that stuff's huge. I think it'd be really cool to

1006
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: even have that without a casino. I really don't give

1007
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 3: a shit that. I kind of hope it's not casino

1008
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 3: there because I think casino's speak for, I mean, seems

1009
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 3: just bring bad people. To areas like that's just basis

1010
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: what it is, so I would like to I'm very

1011
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: curious see what happens if there's no casino, if we

1012
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: still develop that whole area.

1013
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: I will say I think YCFC getting the stadium right

1014
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: next door as well, surely has to make it more

1015
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: likely that there's gonna be some development in that area.

1016
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: And really, like we talked about the Mets lack of

1017
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: attendance and the price for parking on its own is ridiculous.

1018
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: It's it's not realistic for people. Not the Mets fault,

1019
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: it's the city's fault. Shout out the city always the best.

1020
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: But I think if they're because right now, going to

1021
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: a Mets game is not a day experience, Like it's

1022
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: a day experience in terms of time that you have

1023
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: to spend to get to the stadium and leave the stadium.

1024
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,959
Speaker 1: But if you can get people at the stadium because

1025
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: there's restaurants, there's bars, there's hotels outside the staum, that's

1026
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: how you start getting more and more people two games

1027
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: every single day because it's more of a destination rather

1028
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: than an event that you're going to. And I think

1029
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: that's that's one way that would definitely help because right now,

1030
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 1: the only options if you want to get a drink

1031
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: or any sort of food before the game is Ebbs

1032
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: and the CA Corner, and the CA Corner runs stadium

1033
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: prices unless you drink Corpers Light, and I don't even

1034
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna do that this year. They better

1035
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: otherwise I'm gonna riot, but they were three dollars. Otherwise

1036
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: you were paying ten dollars for a cup of beer

1037
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: at the K Corner. That's not a good before the

1038
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: game price. And then Ebbs you have to like light

1039
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: craft beer. I drink shitty Corepers Light. They don't have

1040
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: that for me. But it's also like the only spot,

1041
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: so you're kind of limited, and there's not unlimited room.

1042
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: Inside of these places as well.

1043
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: I think that's one thing that also hurts the Mets

1044
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: attendance as well, is that it's you simply come to

1045
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: the game and you leave, and we.

1046
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 3: Lost the boardwalk guy. If that boardwalk guy's back there

1047
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 3: with the five dollar bud lights and white claws, like

1048
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 3: I'm there for a couple of beers before the game,

1049
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 3: that's easy. But I also I always think about when

1050
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: we went to the Battery at that time a few

1051
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 3: seasons ago where we were talking to we were talking

1052
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 3: to people in Atlanta and they were like, Yeah, I'm like,

1053
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 3: I'm from Arkansas, I'm here for the weekend, going to

1054
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: all three games. I'm here from Alabama. I'm going to

1055
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: all three games. Like I know the Braves more so

1056
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 3: than most other I guess sports teams in the country

1057
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: have more of a regional fan base. Yeah, like a

1058
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 3: very set fan base. But then the New Yorkers move

1059
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: all the across the country all the time. Like, there's

1060
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: definitely a good chance that there's Mets fans who live

1061
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 3: in of like for a far away states that might

1062
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: have moved away that might need a plan to come back.

1063
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 3: It probably much easier to have Mets weekend rather than

1064
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: like a city weekend and go to one game, or

1065
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: you can get to what deal Sadly, you can get

1066
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: people to Flushing, like the fresh Flushing metropolitan area for

1067
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 3: a weekend, go to two games and four restaurants. That's awesome.

1068
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 3: That changes the whole complexity of what it means to

1069
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: go to a Mets game and for a weekend or

1070
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 3: for a weekend day.

1071
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely, I wish I could remember the name

1072
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: of the guy that we met on the train after games.

1073
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: Now he was from from Nashville or Nashville or Kansas City.

1074
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: I think Kansas City. Nailed Kansas City. I got you.

1075
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 2: He knows who he is.

1076
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: But he was like, yeah, I'm just I'm here quickly,

1077
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: like I gotta go back into the city and then

1078
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: I catch a flight later.

1079
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: Like this isn't This is.

1080
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: Not a mainstream, good streamline process to go to a

1081
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: Mets game if you're not literally in one of the

1082
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: burroughs around the city.

1083
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 3: That which is why again next to the conversation, I

1084
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 3: hope that even if we don't get the casino, that

1085
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: we still build to break this area goods. I think

1086
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 3: we'll get more people there and I'm really, really really

1087
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 3: interested to see this summer have this unfolds, because the

1088
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 3: politicians have said Steve Cohen's not getting casino and Steve

1089
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 3: coin so I think he's gotting casino.

1090
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: So I'm really I also wasn't gonna have Jacob de

1091
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: Grom picture in the twenty twenty season because of code vaccines,

1092
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: and he quickly changed that as well, So yeah, that.

1093
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 3: Was twenty twenty one. But Steve Cohen doesn't lose very often,

1094
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: so I'm very interested to see, as someone who likes politics,

1095
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: like local politics, all this, all this funny shit, how

1096
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: this plays out. I can't wait.

1097
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: James will be the local Court of Politics correspondent for

1098
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: the podcast, because I sure as hell have no interest.

1099
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll bring I'll get my note pad. Now start,

1100
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 3: I'll start with John Town some notes I got.

1101
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: What with attendance, we know that attendance always lags behind performance.

1102
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: I think the first couple months of the season is

1103
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: going to really show how interested Mets fans are, and

1104
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: I think the attendance numbers are going to be significantly higher.

1105
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they got me to buy a season tickets.

1106
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're getting a bunch of other people as well.

1107
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: I agree, But I still think April is going to

1108
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: always be hard to draw.

1109
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, well that's even more indicative though, if like,

1110
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 3: if they have a great addictive you're indicative whatever, getting

1111
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 3: who cares, it's it's.

1112
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 2: Two o'clock in the morning, make me work out these

1113
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: crazy times.

1114
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. I'm here, I'm good, I'm ready to go.

1115
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: But whatever, we'll see.

1116
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 3: If they have a good April attendants, they're gonna have

1117
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 3: a great attendancies and then you keep winning baseball games,

1118
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 3: people will be there. That's all the mattess and hopefully

1119
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 3: that happens. I think this weekend of spring training was

1120
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 3: a good start to winning baseball games.
