1
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: What is up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast. We are kind of splitting

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: up this Philly series because I think we have to.

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Those first two games were horrible and we need to

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: talk about it. In a four games series, especially, there's

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: so much that goes on. Let's go in the next

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: two and we'd feel a lot better, But right now

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: we feel pretty pretty freaking bad. So we're gonna talk

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: about everything that's gone on in game one and two

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: of the Philly series and just a little bit of

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: a heat check of how this team feels, a little

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: bit of a vibe check. Just gotta talk. We gotta

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: on losses for the season? Because Game two was bad.

21
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: One of the worst. Maybe not exactly the way the

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: game was played, but the way you feel when you

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: walk out of it is just I thought this was

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: so bad. I thought you were going to start one

25
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: of these episodes when your patented, because this was this

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: was just miserable. Also, the way you look the way

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: you lost on Monday was arguably worse because at least

28
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: Tuesday you can come confidently say you got out played.

29
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: One day. You had chances to win that game, you

30
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: didn't really take advantage of any of them. Harrison Bay

31
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: is the greatest player in the history of the world.

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: Sitting like five hundred against the mess this year, I

33
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: did you did say that. I just can't even like,

34
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 2: where where do you want to start to start Mendoza?

35
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: Do you want to start with the pitching? Do you

36
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: want to start with not hitting Aaronola?

37
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: I do think let's start with Mendoza. I want to

38
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: start hot.

39
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: He's been horrible, Yeah, bad, I would say, I would

40
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: say quite bad. I think that, ironically that he did

41
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: something really good in the game on Tuesday, which was

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: like calling in Seam and I to the tunnel after

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: and I had some of the words by language I've

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: ever seen Sean and I have literally literally like what

45
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: they say hanging his head. After that Hair and Bay

46
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: their home run and that ridiculous idle Chemp home run

47
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: before that I still can't believe got out. But was

48
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: that Yeah it was Camp, Yeah, it was Camp. So

49
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: then after that Showman and I comes out and kind

50
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: of firing and kind of starts pitching out loser, the

51
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 2: damage already done. Who the fuck cars? But then that

52
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: Monday was one of Mendoza's worst managed games I've ever

53
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: seen him, have the fact that he used Louis and

54
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: Helocuny as a pinch hither and then brought him in

55
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: to play his unnatural position third base, only to not

56
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: have any pinch runners available for the ninth inning when

57
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: you needed one really, really badly, and that wound up

58
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: costing the Mets a chance to tie the game. Apart

59
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: from Jeff McNeil for Squelves not having good at batting

60
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: as Joan Duran, that was an inn ex with that

61
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: happened was why why is he hitting? Why is he

62
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: hitting right now? Louis he Lacunie probably shouldn't hit the

63
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: rest of the season. Truthfully, things going on.

64
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Luisn helacune is a guy who's he He's not on

65
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: the New York Meds in twenty twenty six. It's just

66
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: it's plain and simple. I don't think he's on this roster.

67
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: He's not gonna have an option.

68
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: I think he might be on the meds in twenty

69
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: twenty six. But I think that being said, he's got there.

70
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: There's a few things that he does really really well

71
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: right now and none of the No.

72
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: It's definitely not hitting, and even with a lefty on

73
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: the mound, Ronnie Mauricio's Ronnie Maricio's not any worse of

74
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: a hitter than luisn Helikouni is against the lefty. Mauricio's

75
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: bad against lefties. But I would still probably take Ronnie

76
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Mariiso every time, especially knowing that Ronnie is one of

77
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: the slowest players on this team, so using him in

78
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: the pinch running situation was crazy. Multiple bad things happened

79
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: to Ronnie got the worst read I've ever seen in

80
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: my life on a ball that was down immediately against

81
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: the double. Me and you were watching the game together,

82
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: We're like, how are we not even close to scoring

83
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: on that? Ronnie's incredibly slow one. I know he's come

84
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: back from knee injury, but incredibly slow. Unto he got

85
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: the worst read of all time on a ball that

86
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: was never for a million seconds ever being caught, and

87
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: he was.

88
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Taking a small lead because he was very scared to

89
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: get picked off. Becau Durant does have a good move.

90
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: So the fact that you brought in a guy to

91
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: pinch run, you took out p Lonzo in a one

92
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: run game, and then take him out in a one

93
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: run game. You brought in a guy who there's no

94
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: chance to steal. He's not out of himself as a

95
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: base run enough to take a big lead, and you

96
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: still can't score from first on a double. Why even

97
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: pinch run at that point? I get that, I don't know,

98
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: And also like the way he also burns Marte, not

99
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: saying that I wanted Martin in any situation based on

100
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: away he's played recently, But to bring Marte is a

101
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: pinch hitter for Brett Baty, where I understand you don't

102
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: want the lefties facing the lefties, but then the way

103
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: you organize it Sarnny Marte is going into the outfield.

104
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: Brandon was playing center fields for the first time all seasons, Like,

105
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: how how was this the way we wanted to deploy

106
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: the chess pieces the end of a game that was

107
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: highly highly very winnable.

108
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: The Mets had every opportunity they should have won it.

109
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: Again if if basically anybody but three guys on the

110
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Mets are on the base. They scored that run easily.

111
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: Like Cassy Allaens is fumbling with the ball in the

112
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: right field wall. It's like, I just can't the fact

113
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: that it got to that point. Even still, at that point,

114
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: you justin and Jeff McNeill put the ball and play

115
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: and you still score the run.

116
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: And he missed a couple of miss felt ball by

117
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: an inch. It was like smacked the umpire umpire. I mean,

118
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: come on, we.

119
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Thought it hit the base because it took such a

120
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: weird hop. We were celebrating and we're like, shit, it

121
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: was the and then also the one that's gotten the

122
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: most publicity. But I think a little bit wrongfully. The

123
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 2: Francisca Abra is a bad way, too very bad at bad.

124
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: But also people are just being ridiculous.

125
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: I had the unfortunate. I don't know. I happened to

126
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: be home in Westfield. I didn't know the word I

127
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: wanted to use. I happened to be home in Westfield

128
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: in Jersey, and me and my dad were just like

129
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: it's it's three PM. Nothing's on TV, so we just

130
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: turned on the TV version of Evan and Tiki, which

131
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: is crazy. And I like Evan objectively, like he's a

132
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: nice dude, He's been nice to us. He's a big

133
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: MET fan, obviously, But they brought on Joe Beningo, who's

134
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: obviously he's a pistol. The guy is like, is a

135
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: WFA legend, and he's got some crazy stuff behind the

136
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: scenes as well, but he comes on. He talks about

137
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: how one Francisco Alvarez had like the worst at Bad

138
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: he's ever seen, and then two was like, I feel

139
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: more comfortable with Louis nz every day catching and he

140
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: then even doubled down and said I think I'd feel

141
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: better with Singer, which that's also not his name.

142
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: I mean literally, it's also I was just thinking about

143
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: the entire sequence again, It's like so many things had

144
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: to go wrong for those runs just to score, and

145
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: even just the cherry on top was Jared Young coming

146
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: as a pinch runner, and I think.

147
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: Jared Young is faster than Ronnie Mauricio too.

148
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: I could see that. But also the funny thing is

149
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: that with Jose Siri being activated before the game on Tuesday.

150
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: It seemed like they wanted to keep Jared Young on

151
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 2: the roster yesterday with a right handed pitcher on the mound.

152
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: But if you have Jose Siri on the roster, win,

153
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: it seems like he was probably ready to be activated

154
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: for Jared Young. He probably pinched runs or he just

155
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: pinch hits for Mullins and then Kunia pinch runs. But

156
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: no matter what, you score that run and we might

157
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: be having a very different conversation right now.

158
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: This is the problem right now that the Mets are having.

159
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: And I think it's it's David Stertns. I think it's

160
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Carlos Mendoza. I think it's the entire organization right now

161
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: trying to be a little too cute at times. I

162
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: think there is a lack of a kill switch that's

163
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: being engaged right now with this team. Like, like you said,

164
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: wanting Jared Young there for maybe one at bad against

165
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola is a pretty insane trying to thread the needle,

166
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: rather than having Jose Sierri, who I mean, he dropped

167
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: the fly ball today. We don't have to talk about that.

168
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: But he's a much better fielder. Defensively, he brings you value,

169
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: and he's a demon on the bass pass. Every time

170
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: he's been on base this year he has scored a run,

171
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: which is an insane stat because he doesn't get on

172
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: base much, but he scores every time. That's like trying

173
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: to thread the needle, even letting Hagenman face Kyle Schwarburn

174
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: this game, trying to get Hageman through all this, trying

175
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: to thread the needle a lot, and even some of

176
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: the decisions that David Sturns has made when we've been

177
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 1: like trying some of these weird pitchers at times, trying

178
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: to thread the needle when like I'm gonna I'm gonna

179
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: say something that maybe isn't fair, but like Rico Garcia

180
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: should still be on this team and he's awesome. Ount

181
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: in Baltimore tried to thread the needle atle too much.

182
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Schwarber Hageman was threading the needle.

183
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: I think that was just a horrible, horrible moment by

184
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Cross the blows away.

185
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: We've said this, We've said this before about Mendoza, but

186
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: it seems like sometimes when ending spiral out of control,

187
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: it seems like sometimes he's not hair for the next situation.

188
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 2: That might be occurring, and in this game, right before

189
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: that happened, the ending that the Kyle schworret bat should

190
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: never have happened because he Marciano should have made the

191
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: routine play just throwing out Bryce's stott instead of tapping

192
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: his glove five times, start hustling down the line. But

193
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: at the same time, you get to that situation now

194
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: that the innings kind of starts again spiral out of

195
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: the control. Do you have you know, there's two lefties

196
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: right there the second Brices doots on base, like I

197
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: don't care what's going on. That was still close game

198
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: at the time, Brooks RALI, you have two red lefties

199
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: a bullpen raally so though someone should be warming up,

200
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: those guys are on this team to literally face literally

201
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: the Philly. The Phillies make it very available to you.

202
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: We're stacking these two lefties. We know you still can't

203
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: get them out for some reason, justin Haiggenman is out

204
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: there to face and I really I think that again,

205
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,479
Speaker 2: Mendoz just kind of made the decision in his mind

206
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: that the game was over after the Sean and I

207
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 2: whole situation. I don't really really think it was the Phillies.

208
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: Bullpen is good. It's not great. Time like it was.

209
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: It was not great, But at the end of the day,

210
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: for seum and I to be able to get through

211
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: five was huge for him and huge for the team

212
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: because four runs a that's like a coin flip. That's

213
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty winnable.

214
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 2: Game, definitely, and we scored a run off every single

215
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: leaeve the Phillies brought in this game, and we had

216
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: a chance to score more. I think if the if

217
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: the game didn't again begin to inspiral after that College

218
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: Howard at home run, I just couldn't. I couldn't even

219
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 2: I just can't believe that he was left his own

220
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: device to do that. I think that was a situation,

221
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: like we've been critical about Mendoz in the past, where

222
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: he wasn't I'm not gonna say he was sleeping, but

223
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: it seems like he wasn't prepared for the next situation

224
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: that had the possibility of happening.

225
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: I'll definitely say he was sleeping. If he wasn't sleeping, again,

226
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: then he's trying to throw the needle, and then we're

227
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: back to the whole thing where he like it's just

228
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: trying to get a little bit too cute. I think

229
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: this team is trying to be a little bit too cute.

230
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: Even I know, like Noel McLain and stuff have made

231
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: like adjustments in the minors before they made their call up.

232
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: But now you look back at some of those games

233
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: where the Mets have like Mets have punted what like

234
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: fifteen games this year. Can't really punt that many games

235
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: when you're a team that's like struggling to get to

Speaker 2: I mean, the other thing that's scary now is like

262
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: we're in a bit of a tailspin again. We've lost

263
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: five out of six games. We had a stretch in

264
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: the beginning of August where we lost how many games

265
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: in a row one, two, three, four, five, six seven

266
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: one point one lost three more? You lost ten out

267
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: of eleven before that you even lost four, So you

268
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: lost what fourteen out of sixteen. We've seen this team

269
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: go really streaky in both directions at plenty of plenty

270
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: of different times this season. You can't do that again, No, dude,

271
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: you don't. If you lose aight out of nine right now, No,

272
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: you're just going to miss the playoffs. Like, maybe then

273
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: you can get hot win the last five like this

274
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: team would be. That would be the exact way this

275
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: team would actually play the shit out because that's how

276
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: they are. But you don't really have the time or

277
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: the space or the energy to fight through another one

278
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: of these ridiculous cold streaks. And the question just keeps becoming,

279
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: like why did these cold streaks keep happening? How are

280
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: you not able to start to pull out these games?

281
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: Because two of these games we lost were one run games, Yes,

282
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: these were. You probably shouldn't have lost all four of

283
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: these last games we just lost.

284
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: In a row. The team's inability to win any close

285
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: game is crazy. It's absolutely in how they can't win

286
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: a close game or the only team in baseball that

287
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: hasn't won a game after trailing after eight innings, that's unbelievable.

288
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: The Rockies have won six I think they have thirty wins.

289
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: It's like a fifth of their wins. They were trailing

290
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: going into the last inning and they've won those games.

291
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: The Mets haven't done it once. And that's not even

292
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: the problem with the Tuesday game, because a Tuesday game,

293
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: nobody came out from the first pitch. It was just

294
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: a mega, mega ass Lindor one to oh pitch. Like

295
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: I remember it vividly because I was frustrated because Ranger

296
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: Suarez first that bat of the game, gets behind Lindor

297
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: one to oh. Lindor then takes like a very lazy,

298
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: bad right handed swing on a fastball that is a

299
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: pitcher's pitch on the outside corner, hits a lazy flyball

300
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: to right field. I'm like, feel like you need to

301
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: be a little more patient leading off the game against

302
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: a guy like Ranger Suarez, who has had issue at

303
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: times with throwing strikes consistently. I didn't love what we

304
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: knocked him out of the game recently, Like the last

305
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: time we faced Ranger, he threw a ton of pitches. Yeah,

306
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: Like we've been able to make this guy work and

307
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: get him out of the game. We know we need

308
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: to get to this Phillies bullpen. Maybe the command comment

309
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: wasn't technique true, but his more it's more about he

310
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: does throw a lot of pictures.

311
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: Though totally it takes him a lot, He's not, I mean,

312
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: but also he takes him a lot if you aren't

313
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: very aggressive like that. Yeah, that's exactly what Ranger Suarez

314
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: wants is he wants you swinging at that pitch to

315
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: make a swing out of pitchers pitch. Like that's what

316
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: he does. He doesn't really again in this game, oddly

317
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: that wasn't the case because he was blowing guys pause.

318
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: He was just destroying dudes. He had twelve strikeouts most

319
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: ever most of his career, but.

320
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: Shutout Soto three times, Pete three times.

321
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: I think so though, Yeah, it's crazy one for fifteen

322
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: against him, but like nine strikeouts in his career.

323
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: Came out of the game. Soto got a hit immediately.

324
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: Exactly even after the second or third strikeouts, so though

325
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: gave him a look like where he was like, you

326
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: gotta be kidding me, and Suarez had like a little

327
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: chuckle on his face like they were. I seemed like

328
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: him and Martine were talking about facing Suarez too, like

329
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: talking about the Wales pitches.

330
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: With Martee didn't know what was going on either today, so.

331
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: No one's going off for about two weeks now kind

332
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: of just does this. But like Suarez is a good picture,

333
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 2: is also not one of the few best pitches in

334
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: the league. I mean, we made him look definitely better

335
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: than he is. But and even the flip side of this,

336
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: the mania stuff, he couldn't put anybody away. The first

337
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: two winnings, every single one of those hits came with

338
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: two strikes and the first he struck them out. Yeah yeah, no,

339
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: not fort that bad. Yeah yeah, because that he actually

340
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: struck out bitter twice. The home round the middle, that

341
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: rally was no one on, two outs and then two

342
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: strikes on that was. That was that was real Muto.

343
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: And then he winds up walking him after.

344
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: But no, that was I'm thinking of last No he

345
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: hit he hit real Muto, that was Yeah, But it's

346
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: just you. It's an inability to put someone away, to

347
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: get out of these situations. And he and then it

348
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: got the one credit the credits to Windos for like

349
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: pulling them the tunnel, be like, hey, you got fucking

350
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: spark up, dude, Like he immediately like went like this

351
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: pulled him right in.

352
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: But bad. I just this was bad from the second

353
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: this game began. You're like, we have no chance to win.

354
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: I think, like, gotta be cheating at home. They're so

355
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: bad on the road.

356
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: I hope they're cheating it. But why do you think

357
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: we just didn't cheat against the Marlins?

358
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? Maybe, I mean they scored a lot of runs.

359
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they they hit fine, they didn't pitch well.

360
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean because as much as Eric shav is the

361
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: best hitting coach in baseball, loves to parade around about

362
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: when this team gets hits, it's crazy when you know,

363
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: when the stuffs goes bad, Eric shavas his radio silent.

364
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: You hear nothing from him again. I fucking hate him.

365
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: I hate his guts.

366
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: I just it's it's I feel like the same conversation

367
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: we had where it's an energy thing like this team

368
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: playing low tie something. It's such a different energy when

369
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: they're at home versus on the road, which is like,

370
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: not an excuse, it's just an observation. I'm not saying

371
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: that this.

372
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Is what it is.

373
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: It's bad.

374
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'll tell you the opinion.

375
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: It's bad. And also again like that played by Vianzos

376
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: is so bad. So there's and again he did make

377
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: a diving stop in this game. Whether get a home

378
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: run yeah, still smashing, yes, but he's just a continuously

379
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: liability at their base. Like he's very bad there. And

380
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: there's probably a bit too much of obsession right now

381
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: with needing to get a guy like Starling Martell on

382
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: the field.

383
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Definitely way too much of an obsession trying to get

384
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: some Martell on the field when he's hot, forcem into

385
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: the lineup right now he's ice cold. Let him sit

386
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: for like two three days. Who cares use him in

387
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: a pinch hitting situation He's allowed to make an impact

388
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: without getting four at bats.

389
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: Again, Like why, I don't know why Brett Baby just

390
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: can't start the guests to left team or play third,

391
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: like that's the best thing. I think him playing third

392
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: is more important than him I agree, than having to

393
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: hide them against the left handed pitcher like that. To me,

394
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm just like, it's we don't really, I don't know,

395
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: Like this even we were kind of lying on Brett

396
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: Baby day and day out. That's the way he's been

397
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: playing third the last few days. Unbelievable, over and over again,

398
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: you give up so much when you take him off

399
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: the field and put Vienso's there. It's just, it's fucking

400
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: just it's bad. It's so bad right now. I can't

401
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: believe how bad I feel, and I wish there were

402
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: fewer games left in the season because it feels like

403
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: every single game the Mets play a compounds their chance

404
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: of losing more games and blowing this playoff spot.

405
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a team get this hot and cold.

406
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: It's like the most polar team I can remember in

407
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: my lifetime, where you can win fifteen out of twenty

408
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: games and then also lose fifteen out of twenty at

409
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: the same time. There's no like the Mets. It feels

410
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: like they haven't had actually like thirty games where it's

411
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: like win loss win loss, win loss, win lost fifteen

412
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: and fifteen, it's been like win eight, lose eleven, win nine,

413
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: lose seven.

414
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: Don't they don't do it evenly. It's just win a lot,

415
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: lose a lot. I mean, truthfully, that's happened to the

416
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: Yankees this season. I guess yeah, that's the other team too.

417
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: Who the Mets and the Yankees are one and one

418
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: if they both win, if they're both playing well, they're winning,

419
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: one play is poorly, the other joins them. The Yankees

420
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: got smoked tonight. It's so weird how they're like in

421
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: line with each other.

422
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: I feel like I remember a Red Sox season like

423
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: six or seven years ago where something else happened. It's

424
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: just it's it's they can't sustain. There's no consistency. And like,

425
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: how much this reflects on those guys at the top,

426
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: how much of a reflects on Mendoza, Like there's a

427
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: lot of I think a lot. I think it's tough

428
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: for all that I think Lindor Alonso, So though Mendoza

429
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 2: like this, I think consistent team with as much talent.

430
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: It kind of reflects on those guys. Yet, after the

431
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: game on Monday, especially, Alonzo said all the same spiel

432
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: where it was like, you know know how we know

433
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: how talented we are, just got again to the dance.

434
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: We know what we can do. It's almost kind of

435
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: like what happened last year is working against them. Yes,

436
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: you kind of feel like, oh we gotta do is

437
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: get there. We know we're gonna flip a switch. You

438
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: can't really know you're going to flip a switch. Switch

439
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 2: has to flip organically.

440
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: And they kind of and they kind of didn't once

441
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: like it took Peter Lonzo whitting a miracle home run.

442
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: And Francisco Door first sitting America.

443
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: It took mirror. It took miracles for this team to

444
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: make it to where they le Miracles took a big

445
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: fat purple miracle as well, and it took a Latino

446
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: pop star. Like again, you couldn't write what the Mets

447
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: did last year, And it does feel like, I like

448
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: what you said there. It does feel like they're kind

449
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: of just like waiting for last year to happen again.

450
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was I think there was a bit

451
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: of a change of tone. I felt like after this

452
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: game from Mendoza where he kept saying like, hey, like

453
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: there's no time like where we need to fight, we're

454
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: in the middle of it kind of seemed like he

455
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: was speaking with emergency the players might not have had,

456
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: but still again like to speak without urgency. But then

457
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: also let Hagenan face kylesh Warbur Like those two things

458
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: don't really go together for me.

459
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: No, those the ven diagram doesn't intersect there of thinking

460
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: games are important and justin Hagenman innings, they don't really intersect.

461
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: No, not at all. Should at least briefly just heap

462
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: more credit on to Nolan McLay.

463
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's really good. We'll be we might

464
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: need just a cleanse. Let's get a quick cleanse. Let's

465
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: be positive for five minutes. Noel McLain is my game

466
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: one starter if we make the postseason. I've declared that.

467
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: Oh definitely, he's the way that he's I think that

468
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: it's almost like being undersold how much better he's gotten

469
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: in a short period of time. I even think that

470
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: he's rapidly improving since that first start he made against

471
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: the Mariners. That's the way that he's able to do.

472
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: The sinker. He threw more change ups in this one

473
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: because it's very lefty heavy. Phillies lineup like he's outrageous. Also,

474
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 2: the sinker for the righties is it's kind of unfair

475
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: like that. He throws the most fun looking sinker I've

476
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: ever seen. It's got such crazy movement. It's almost like

477
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: remember the Bigs with the video game The Bigs. Yeah,

478
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: when you'd get like the perfect turbo sinker and it

479
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: would like come straight and then just hump back.

480
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like.

481
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: He has one of the one of the most some

482
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: of the most drop at any sinker if any started

483
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 2: in the league. It's crazy, like that's the real thing

484
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: that he has, and that in the sweepershes he every

485
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: single rity. Like again, the same thing with last week.

486
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: Ja tub Riemuts was like emo thing when he was

487
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: like getting out against Note he was looking back like

488
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: what the fuck is he doing right now? But just

489
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: it sucks that like a rookie can go out there

490
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: and give you that performance, you just can't. You can't

491
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: too much with it because again this wasn't even like

492
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: a dominant McCain startle. He definite struggled this Philly's lineup

493
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: is pretty good like they are, and there were guys

494
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: on base he had to fight in and out of

495
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: jams like he was kind of struggling to throw a

496
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 2: strike one at times. But it's to not be able

497
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: to pick him up, honestly, sucked like that. That was

498
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: really pissing me off a lot.

499
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: Another positive? Can I can I give one positive?

500
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

501
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Helsley won two three inning, Yeah.

502
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: Sure, I forgot about that.

503
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's it is so perfect for him to

504
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: get hot and figure it out as the Mets cannot

505
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: win or have any leads.

506
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: Well, so this is a funny one. I talked to

507
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: my dad on the phone after this game, but he

508
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: mentioned something I didn't even notice about that Hellsley outing

509
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: because we were playing softballatch between innings. So you obviously

510
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: you have the problem tipping pitches, right, Yes, just through

511
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 2: eleven straight sliders.

512
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: Isn't that the thing?

513
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: I said?

514
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: I was like, what if he just only throws one pitch,

515
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: can't tip? You don't throw one pitch, you can't tip,

516
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: just you know it's coming, be better.

517
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: And he's throwing the curveball that's just like a slower pitch,

518
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 2: so he's like, slither ninety, curveball eighty. That's it. They

519
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: moved the same way, but you're not gonna be able

520
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: to them up as much. It's kind of kind of

521
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: funny that was the and the sliders swings and missus

522
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 2: left and right because suddenly the guys didn't know they

523
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 2: were coming. So it's it's nice to know that it

524
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: is still there for Helsley. Sadly, the damage may have

525
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 2: already been done. But I just even like going back

526
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: to him, like watching Nola, like I always respect Aaronola.

527
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: He's had a great career. I think he's still a

528
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: very good pitcher, but very good. Maybe a stretch seemed

529
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: quite hitable. Watching this one had nothing. I was just

530
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 2: like they were just curve balls and his own. It

531
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: was like, come on, guys, anyone.

532
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: If I told you his name was Jack Flaherty and

533
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: he pitched for the Tigers, he'd be like, this guy's

534
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: mega turbo dog shit.

535
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah fuck yeah. But you know what, it's not his name.

536
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: He doesn't And at least in this one, he was

537
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: spotting the fastballs better, like for Aaron Nola, Like if

538
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: those fastballs get played, they get annihilated. This time they

539
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: were released like eating that was at that outside the

540
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 2: edge against the lefties, like that was something he was

541
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: able to do. But at the same time, to not

542
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: score the run in that game on Monday night was deplorable.

543
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: The Phillies, Yeah, you got. He had every opportunity to

544
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: do things that you couldn't.

545
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: What was the worst part about Monday night watching that

546
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 1: Mets game losing one nothing or the fact that we

547
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: joined up modified Soft Bald League, went all the way

548
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: to the West side of Manhattan and got absolutely fucking

549
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: annihilated guys. We lost by like twenty two runs too.

550
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: We got house where we think we have a pretty

551
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: good softball team, Like we really competed our league. We

552
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: decided to move up with division and was modified fast

553
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: huge new softball as well. New softball. We tried to

554
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: tried to be let's make this harder, modified fast pitch.

555
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: We were not ready for what we had to face.

556
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: We faced a kid who played club baseball Maryland. He

557
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: was smaller than me. He had a fucking nuke. Nukes, yeah,

558
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: they were there were it was. It was intense. We

559
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 2: have to wear masks behind the plate. Now, none of

560
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 2: none of us knew how to throw modified fast patch.

561
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: It was a real mess. The other team. I hopefully

562
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: they had the best team that league, but yeah, watching

563
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: the Mets not score in between innings and then watching

564
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 2: Duran strike out Alvarez but with the boys after that

565
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 2: was just horrific.

566
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was painful. It's been a horrible, horrible two

567
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: days in Mets world. I was just want to say,

568
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: for a second, obligatory, I have to mention it. We

569
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: disagree on this one here. Lots of people hear it once.

570
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: So the stealing third base was insane. Uh like it's

571
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: it is conceptually insane. I also think it should not

572
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: be talked about at all. I think like talking about.

573
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: It, bro it should not be I think just got

574
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: mentioned because I think it was kind of crazy.

575
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: I think it was crazy, and I can understand why

576
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: somebody could be upset, but I think harping on it

577
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: and also making it a way bigger deal than it is.

578
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: It's like, who fucking cares? Oh no, the Mets lost

579
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: by six and want so to stole a base, or

580
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: oh no, the Mets loss by six and he didn't

581
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: steal a basic. That's that's where we're at right now.

582
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: That's where we're nitpicking the guy who has carried this

583
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: team offensively all season long. I'll tell you what, I

584
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: don't give one hundred fucks. Steal as many bases as

585
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 1: he wants, he never gets thrown out. I don't care

586
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: what the rules of baseball say. I don't care how

587
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: much money's getting paid. I don't care what the situation was.

588
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: He was safe.

589
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 2: Who gives a.

590
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 4: Shit time for your weekly arena club segment where we

591
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 4: see what AJ pulls from a slab pack, and here

593
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,200

Speaker 5: Always, I'm always looking for the big thing, next big.

595
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 4: Thing, Scott, big money, big money baby. No ways, We've

596
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 4: got a Dave Winfield card from nineteen to seventy four,

597
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: seventy four tops card from this Emerald pack. Estimated value

598
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 4: three hundred bucks. You could sell it back for two

599
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 4: seventy So I feel like you are into more of

600
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: the current players. Would that be accurate?

601
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 5: Like legend in my showroom might have a Robin you out,

602
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 5: I have a Griffy Rookie card. I think that's true,

603
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 5: So I mean I have some older vintager players. Bob Gibson.

604
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you have Gibson, So I know I disagree Scott.

605
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 5: But Dave Winfield for that amount of money back, I'm

606
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:33,960

Speaker 3: Slash foul.

611
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 2: The next time the Mets are trailing by five, would

612
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: you be okay with him stealing third? With you outs

613
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: and met another guy on base?

614
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: Is you safe?

615
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, you'll know he before to play.

616
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: If he's safe, then yes, if he's out, I'm gonna

617
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: be like, what the fuck are we stealing for?

618
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's the problem out there. Maybe next time,

619
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: just don't do it again. Is he saved every single

620
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: time he steals? So whatever. But I don't know. It's

621
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: just like when I saw that happen, I was like,

622
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 2: that's not that cool.

623
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't care.

624
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: I actually the series did it?

625
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: Oh, people would be people will be screaming epithets at

626
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: all series. What would you think I would be saying, dog,

627
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: he must have the pictures a racist or something as Yeah,

628
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: It's like that was just one of those things where

629
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: now people are gonna harp on it. But this is

630
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. Bigger problems, way way problems.

631
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: Not even top ten biggest problems in this individual game

632
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: let alone. This is like the first half of the series.

633
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: And now it feels like we're gonna do like a

634
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: Letterman bit, like top ten biggest problems from the New

635
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: York Mets game today and then like ten the Mets

636
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: like players coming on. So it was like I stole

637
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: third base, all.

638
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 2: Right, we could we could do that one right now.

639
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: Top ten biggest problems in the Mets today, won Sean

640
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: and I are just not being able to spot those

641
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: sweepers at all. Okay, Number two, wait, let's go back

642
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: and forth. Let's okay, give me number two two. Carlos

643
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: Mendoza leave and Justin Hagenman all right? Number three? What

644
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: could we get for number three?

645
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 1: Here?

646
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 2: Now, I'm already out.

647
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: You want me to give you one? Yeah, keep going,

648
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: Mark Fiento's not charging a ground ball, Brice is Stock

649
00:25:59,160 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: getting a hit there.

650
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: That's three. These bad things happen, and I just choose

651
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: to remove them from my brains. I'm I'm so good compartmentalizing.

652
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: Number four Jose Sirie dropped a fly ball in centerfield.

653
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: Didn't matter, but he did do it. Number five p

654
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: Alonso could not hit left handed ranger Suarez to save

655
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: his life. Number six Jan Soto could not hit left

656
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: handed ranger Swarez to save his life.

657
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: Number seven Mark Fanta couldn'tally hit left handed rangers war

658
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: and save his life. And in that bat when well,

659
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: Fianto's did steal the base. If you had to sole

660
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: the bass, you have to have golden opportunity against left

661
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: handed tander Banks also did not have a good at

662
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: bat went down two like that.

663
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: Let me think, let me think we got two more

664
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: when oh, we're at number eight, so we need three

665
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: more because we get to ten. Number eight though, Starling

666
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: Martay having competitive at bats in the lineup, only to

667
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: face a left handed pitcher, and he absolutely just did

668
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: horrible things every single time at the plate. Number nine.

669
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: The Giants are playing red hot and they are dangerous.

670
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: That's one of the bad things that happened with the

671
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: Mets today.

672
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean William Domas hit the home run, three

673
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 2: run home run, third bat of the game and flips

674
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: his bat and the next.

675
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Universe number ten, Harrison Bader, a guy who we could

676
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: have traded for at the trade deadline, fucking owns our ass.

677
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: And we can't get this guy out. Despite him being

678
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: on the team last year and knowing what pitches he

679
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: can hit, we still continue to throw the pitches that

680
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: are right in his hot happy zone. And Cedric Mullins

681
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: I think is over his last twenty.

682
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 2: Eight I think twenty six. But yeah, that has a thing.

683
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: Harrison Baither. Also, it's it's a three mile and hour

684
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: basbe increase two min and ire Bassy know me, I

685
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: was telling him I know you were right. I just

686
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: I know it's true. And yeah, Trades, I we've gotten

687
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: this point of talking Aboutmullins. I think that while he's

688
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 2: been turbo dog shit, it's another situation where I think

689
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: he a lot of people are piling on him with

690
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: us again, many deeper and bigger problems this whole situation

691
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: going on.

692
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think our nine hitter not hitting when

693
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: they haven't hit for us all year is our biggest issue.

694
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this. We've seen this now with like

695
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: almost every player on the Mets getting in this insanely

696
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: deep slump. Where's the help? Where's the adjustment?

697
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: And also again, if you're if you're even considering pinch

698
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: hitting Cedric Mullin for Luis on Helicunya, that's crazy. There's

699
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: probably just needs to be another conversation there, like maybe

700
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 2: after the game, someone'd be like, what, Carlos, why why

701
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: was that? I'm sure you can't.

702
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: You can't possibly think Louis on Helicunya is ever a

703
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: better hitter than Zadrick Mullins, unless unless it was twenty

704
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: twenty four Luis on helicun you remember that, that was crazy?

705
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: I would say that that actually it was insane.

706
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: Think about that, because there's I actually don't know how

707
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: he did it. I have no clue.

708
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 2: And this is also a situation where like any of

709
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: these guys can just get hot for a hot second here, mullins, Siri,

710
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: Jeff Marte, anybody, just anybody just say to give this

711
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: team a parachute, because you're going into face Christopher Sanchez

712
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: next game. It's like he's going to be pissed half

713
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: away at last one win. Oh, he is going to

714
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: be throwing bullets. And it's just I can't I can't

715
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: see the best winning on Wednesday either, And then there

716
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: is a's going to be avoid a literal catastrophe. And

717
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: then we have the Rangers come this weekend, who are

718
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: very much in the AL playoff conversation right now and

719
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: are playing some pretty decent baseball of late. Chack up

720
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: the ground before the night's going to be crazy to

721
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: be a resid right now says we're not We're not

722
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: done recording. I mean we are almost done recordings the

723
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: almost the end of the night. Here, Reds are up,

724
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: Giants are up. This could be it could be a

725
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: two game lead.

726
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: I believe the Mets at which I hate these stats.

727
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: I hate him so much. I think the Mets, according

728
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: to Fangrafts, were like ninety six percent chance to make

729
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs coming into today before the game happened to

730
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game, it dropped to seventy

731
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: six percent. I can only imagine what it's going to

732
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: be when the Giants and Reds win tonight.

733
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: Sixty I mean, with you, with you, honestly, Fiel, what's

734
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: you like your what's your gut check percentage? Right now?

735
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: Oh? I felt so good today. I felt so good

736
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: before today's game. I said, like ninety five percent chance.

737
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: I think the Mets still make the playoffs. And now

738
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm fifty to fifty.

739
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit than fifty fifty. I'm sixty forty.

740
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: But I'm fifty to fifty until they show until they

741
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: show me otherwise, until they show me a little fight,

742
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: until they showed me that someone's aware of what's going on,

743
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: that someone's paying attention. I can't. I can't get off

744
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: the fifty to fifty ledge.

745
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: Then it is funny though, because a lot of people

746
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 2: are now like harping onto like the Drew Gilbert situation

747
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: that he's kind of galvanized the Giants team, and he

748
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: kind of has emotionally and seems like that, Like it's

749
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: kind of it's honestly hilarious the content that's coming out

750
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: about him with Matt Chapman, that he's kind of like

751
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: the Chihuahua of that team where he's just screaming. Matt

752
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: Chapman chokes him out basically because he's such a little nut.

753
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: At the same time, like his stats do look good.

754
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: It was really helped by his series. Right when he

755
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: got called up in Coors Fields.

756
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: I would love to get called up in debut and

757
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: Coors That must be sick.

758
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: Must be incredible. I do want to cast people about

759
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: like the excitement about because gain Drew Giblard seems super fun.

760
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: I get. I would love to have on in this

761
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: fucking clubhouse right now.

762
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I don't know if he could

763
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: act the way that he is right now in this clubhouse,

764
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: his clubhouse. I don't really got the vibes like that.

765
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: Does the Giants clubhouse have the vibes like that? No,

766
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: But like I think he would act like this no

767
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: matter what. I think that's the whole point of what

768
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: he is.

769
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: Who's gonna Who's gonna choke slam him?

770
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: Pete? You think Pete would one hundred percent?

771
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: I hope. So I don't know this.

772
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: This see I think I don't. I think it's a

773
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: week take. No, is it about specifically about Drew Gilbert

774
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: acting the way he would act. But I do think

775
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 2: is now that we take in the fact that there

776
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: are just the whole season, it's been kind of a

777
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: strange clubhouse vibe.

778
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's why I don't think it's

779
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: actually a bad take. I think Drew Gilbert comes to

780
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: that clubhouse and feels a little weird about what's going

781
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: on on it.

782
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe, But also like it did take the Giants

783
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: starting to play red hot baseball for all his content

784
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: starting to hack. He's been up for three weeks, then

785
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: they started winning. Danie still he was acting like a

786
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: little bit of a cycle path Now he was a

787
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: full blown cycle.

788
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: He would have came up and the Mets would have

789
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: kept losing.

790
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: Maybe or who Even though I just thought it was fine,

791
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: I just wanted to bring the name up because people

792
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: are talking about it.

793
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it fucking sucks that the team that we

794
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: traded to that sold to us is gonna possibly knocks

795
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. I fucking hate the Giants.

796
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: Multiple sellers are creeping up, creeping up on us in

797
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and the Reds who soft bought. It was

798
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: just like, it's if you miss again, We're far away

799
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: from this actually becoming reality. The Mets missed the playoffs.

800
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 2: It's an overwhelming failure.

801
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 1: Oh, it's one of the worst failure. It's it's probably

802
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: the worst failure in franchise history.

803
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: Is that fair? That's that's not true? Why I think?

804
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: I think'll know's it'll be hard to match two thousand

805
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: and seven as a failure. I mean, yes, but nineteen

806
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty seven, nineteen eighty eight, those are massive failures.

807
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: This one's so big. I don't know.

808
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: Two thousand and one was a huge failure. Twenty twenty

809
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: three was a pretty intense failure.

810
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: This one, like, it's just so bad they've been I

811
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: guess it's it feels less bad because we've now seen

812
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: three months of them being a bad baseball team.

813
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just about whether or not I think,

814
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: how are they so bad?

815
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: How is this team this bad? I can't Everything does

816
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: not point to this team being this bad.

817
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: Some things point to this team being this bad.

818
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: Some things, but.

819
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 2: No, Ballen's not very good. The rotation is not very good.

820
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: But the bullpens should be better.

821
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: The bullpens should be better. I wasn't I would that.

822
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: I could not have anticipated Ryan Helsley just tipping every

823
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: one of his pitches. That's a hand up. That's a

824
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: hand up on me.

825
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: I saw that coming.

826
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: That was fucking insane that that's happened.

827
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: I also didn't expect, like I.

828
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: Didn't expect Sean ma and Ia was saying, and give

829
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: us nothing in the second half, nothing at all, Yeah,

830
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 2: zero nothing.

831
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: I know, like we a lot of people give David

832
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: certain shit about Frankie Manta, so that Sean ma and

833
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: I contracts a million percent worse at this exact moment.

834
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: I think that's also the take I dropped from my

835
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: dad a couple episodes ago, where it's like that was

836
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: a situation where it's still David Stearns learning how to

837
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: operate in a big market.

838
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people say David Searan's obsessed with

839
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: the small market. Those were big market signings.

840
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: Get he would have never signed traum and Iya to

841
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: the Brewers and the best.

842
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: He never looked at either of those guys walk down

843
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: there with Katana Nick.

844
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: That being said, I wanted Shamaniya back on this team.

845
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: I was a little I was a little more lukewarm

846
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: on I was fine. I just really thought he would.

847
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: Also, I think it's so obvious he's part Yeah, of course,

848
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: his arm slot is so different. And I don't know

849
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: if you know this is too Maybe you could take

850
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: a look and we can let the people know in

851
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: the next episode. Watch how he throws that sweeper verse

852
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: the fastball. I'm telling you, he's slowing down a ton.

853
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I could. I can probably find that while I'm

854
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: just filibustering here talking. But at the same time, it

855
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: does seem like this something I said before, he was

856
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: so dead set and coming back, like he had pressure

857
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: to help this team, like he knows he's like a leader,

858
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: like emotional, spiritual and also literally on the mound like

859
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: he like we talked, we can talk about a lot

860
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: of the reasons why the Mets got so hot and

861
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: made the run they had last year. He was one

862
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: of the biggest for that whole thing. Yes, and even

863
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: this game riders Swarezwi strikes out twelve bad is six

864
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: corre less indings showman, I kind of gets blown up

865
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: for five yder swarz on like it's one more swing

866
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: and missed the shamania.

867
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: How do you have twelve strikeouts?

868
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: I'd mean we just were taking bad swings left and right.

869
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: God, this team so frustrating. I don't know. I don't

870
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: want to talk about it anymore. Yeah deal, I'm good.
