1
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: What is up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast. We are talking about the

3
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Washington National series. The good was good, the bad was bad.

4
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like such a weird series in

5
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: that like it wasn't the worst, but it definitely wasn't good.

6
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: But also there were some good things that happened, but

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: also there were some night very terrible things that happened.

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about everything. We talked a lot about

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,080

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,680

00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean?

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, with this series just high highs and low lows.

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: Weird to also, these four game series ending on Monday.

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: This feels like a lifetime ago.

50
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: We played that game.

51
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: What is this?

52
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Why are we? I still don't know why we're doing this.

53
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: We do it once a year.

54
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: I feel like it's always in Washington because we'll always

55
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: like three games there and then come back.

56
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: Because this wasn't a road trip, and now we're coming

57
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: home for three.

58
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: Games out of homestand you know, it's just kind of

59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: like a it's kind of like a flip flop back

60
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: and forth because now it's three games and against the Diyingbacks,

61
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: then we travel again.

62
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: It's just weird, I guess.

63
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 3: Also the four o'clock game also so weird than a Monday,

64
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: like every other game, tonight was like around six six thirty.

65
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: I think it was the first ones There was nobody

66
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: in that ballpark, like I mean, I don't know, seeing

67
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: like the Nationals didn't really show up to play either

68
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: themselves but it almost I hate like negative finzone and

69
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: it's not even negative finzoning, Like we're so much fun

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: better than the national team. Like the way that we

71
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: dismantled them on Monday, I'm just like the way you

72
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: let those other two games get a white stinks. The

73
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: Thankfully we did split the series, but nice to end

74
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: on this massive high note and like get the get

75
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: the run, deffrenial move in the right direction.

76
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially after the stinker that was Sunday for the

77
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: Mess to come out swinging like they did, just beat

78
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: the living piss out of the Nationals. Like it was

79
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: good to see we are a good team. You could

80
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: see what goes on with this offense when things start

81
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: to click. Brandon Nimo finally waking up Grand Slam two

82
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: home runs in that game, nine RBIs, nine RBIs and

83
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: three innings. I think Gary was saying he's the third

84
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: player or fourth player ever to do that in that

85
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: small of a span to get nine RBIs. So throw

86
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: a shout, yeah, shout out brand Nim. I think Sammy

87
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Sosa was one of the other ones, and Pudge and Pudge, Okay,

88
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Pudge was on there. I mean, that's it's pretty good.

89
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Company right there.

90
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Loki the first one to doing without thinking steroids,

91
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: which is crazy. Also amazing because they were talking a

92
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: lot about like other weird records in this game, because

93
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: Francisco and Dark got hit by two pitches in one inning,

94
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: like just batting around, weird stuff happens.

95
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Get hit by the same pitcher twice in the same inning.

96
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: How in the world did neither Fernando ti T Senior

97
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: or chan Ho Park get get to nine RBIs and

98
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: three innings?

99
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: They got eight in one inning.

100
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: How in the world did they not worse the only

101
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: two guys to two Grand slams and single inning.

102
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: How those guys not sneak out another RBI next?

103
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: That bad chan Ho Park hit two grand slams the picture.

104
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: What Gary say about Channhall Park, I maybe gave up

105
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: two grand slams?

106
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: That was I think it had to be giving them

107
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: grand slams, Like, I'm sorry, are you trying to tell

108
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: me he hit two Grand slams in one inning the picture?

109
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: That's crazy because.

110
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: I thought Finances the only guy to do that. But

111
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: then Gary kept mentioning chan hoope Park that had.

112
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: To be gave them the homes.

113
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which is funny the same pitture would give

114
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: up both those home runs. But weird day for records

115
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: fever dream watching Amed Rosario pitch that was I didn't

116
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: have that on my Bengo card. I didn't think that

117
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: this game would be started by a former met and

118
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: then closed by a former Met that going the other way.

119
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 3: That was kind of bizarre. But I mean, I don't know,

120
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: just the game like this felt so unseerious for half

121
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: of it. You almost come back here you're like, what

122
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: just happened?

123
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: I will say though, the Brandon Nemo at bats were

124
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: really good. He finally started to hit the ball really well.

125
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: He hit the ball up in the zone two, which

126
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: was really nice.

127
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: But we talked about this so much yesterday. I love

128
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: how we time that just the classic best subjects back again.

129
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: But like he has been literally hitting the ball well,

130
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 3: it's just been about choosing the right pitches to attack.

131
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: And that's been kind of the worrisome thing. Where when

132
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: he hit that first home run, he got ahead two oh,

133
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: didn't chase two pitches out of his own, which he's

134
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: still not chasing very much. He smoked a home run

135
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: a high fastball, and you're like, okay, now let's let's

136
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: get into it. Let's have this thing too. And I

137
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: don't know if he knows this as well. What we were

138
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: talking about yesterday with the Mark Fiano's going up in

139
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 3: the box. Today he was all the way back in

140
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: the box. His back foot was all the way in

141
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: the white at the back of the box.

142
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: Us.

143
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: Maybe he's listener, Maybe Marciana is listening to the Messed

144
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: Up podcast, which was really cool to get like a

145
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: lot of these offensive demons out. And while Sunday was disappointing,

146
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: did still score what six seven runs?

147
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the offense has been alright, it's been fine.

148
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: Like they I shouldn't say that the offense needs to

149
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: be better. We need better production from certain guys, but like, yeah,

150
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean they still do find a way pretty much

151
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: every game to score more runs than the other team,

152
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: which is really important. It's hard hard to win games

153
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: when you don't score more runs than the other team.

154
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: But the problem we know on Sunday was the pitching.

155
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, the fact that he

156
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: gave up a six run lead was just inexcusable.

157
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: It was also kind of funny to me take another

158
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: six run leave that Monday, be like, oh no, not

159

00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: And then uh, Jose Irania coming in into a fifth

161
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: like when it was fifteen to fifteen nothing zero, yeah,

00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: and giving up like five runs instantly or four runs,

00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: else is pitching this game.

167
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: This is all you, dude.

168
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: There's nothing else going to happen, Like you're if you

169
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: reach one hundred pitches, you're coming back after the next

170
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: inning if it takes that.

171
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Long to get out of this, because nope, we're not

172
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: using anyone else.

173
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: In this game. So you've been defaided yet because that's it.

174
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: That's it Irania. After that one, did you have an option?

175
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: Well?

176
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Do? I mean yeah, he's he definitely does not have

177
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: an option left. That guy's been up and down his

178
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: entire career.

179
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: Oh that was crazy.

180
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: By my little cousin I've talked about before, it's like

181
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: just getting into baseball this year. He's like, what's up

182
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: with this Jose Irania guy. I was like, look up

183
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 3: his lore. He was like wow, Marlin's legend. But yeah,

184
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: I was a thank you for your SERVI as Jose Irania,

185
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: you're going down because we're gonna get Brandon Wadell up

186
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: for a start against dimingbacks.

187
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: But jumping around, like where else do you want to

188
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: go with this right now?

189
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: Because we talked so much about just Sunday's game, We

190
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: just talked a lot about money talks.

191
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: I got a couple of things to say, just overarching conversation.

192
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil back playing this series, health great, that bats

193
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: awesome game on Monday.

194
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: That first at bat, I literally just writing him doing

195
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: the game twenty nine notes right now live on the podcast.

196
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: But that first bat of the game they had in

197
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: the second inning where he was down I think two

198
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: or one two.

199
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Our buddy Clay was talking some shit in our group

200
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: message for Jeff mckitts.

201
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: And then he works a ten pitch at bat to

202
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: get a little sacrifice fly when you're only up one nothing,

203
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: when yesterday the whole thing this team couldn't do on

204
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: Sunday was get a sack fly when they needed it.

205
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: Was just nice to see a professional hit there, take

206
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: a professional play appearance.

207
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think he had a couple hits the

208
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: other night as well against the Nationals when the Mets

209
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: were playing well, played a little bit of center field,

210
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: played the outfield look completely capable and fine there. It

211
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: was good. So him get the home run as well,

212
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: which was really nice. I think Jeff hit it one

213
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: hundred and five, which is fantastic to see for McNeil

214
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: hitting the ball one hundred and five miles an hour

215
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: in the air like he did, pulling it torpedo bat

216
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: fully in effect. When they showed like the slow Moo replay,

217
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't the typical barrel of the bat.

218
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: It hit it a little bit closer to the label.

219
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: So I think a guy like Jeff McNeil, who when

220
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: you watch him a lot of times, he has like

221
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: a lot of ninety six mile an hour flyouts, maybe

222
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: this torpedo bat's gonna be a big help for him.

223
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: But love to see the way that he was playing.

224
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: Obviously he made that horrible play defensively where he missed

225
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: it and then booted it into the outfield that cost

226
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: us the game. But also cej Abrams made that insane

227
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: play where it's like there's only one guy that beats

228
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: you in that scenario, and it's pretty much CJ. Abrams.

229
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that the lineup feels so so so

230
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: much better with him and Francisco Alvarez in every single day.

231
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: Also nice to see Alvarez get the home run on

232
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 3: Saturday that just to see him have that power, to

233
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: see him have a swaying a couple of the nice

234
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: piece of contact before the game got out of hand

235
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: again on Monday. I think, I don't know, like I

236
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: love the joke, like I love recy bias so much.

237
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: I just learned about.

238
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: It's my favorite thing in the world because I think

239
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: sometimes Mets fans everyone baseball, you always just.

240
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: Forget what these guys can do day in and day out.

241
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: I think, just again having McNeil also the McNeil centerfield

242
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 3: think is funny. Yeah, like when he caught that ball,

243
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: thing came up to him and gave him a high five.

244
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: He didn't know Neal's first started the center field on Saturday,

245
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: that he didn't even get one chance because Clig Olmes

246
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: was just a ground ball at King every single thing

247
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: was on the ground. It's just funny that the Mets

248
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: are trying this and seeing if they could possibly pull

249
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 3: it off because I mean, just it just helps to

250
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: get a Cooniy in the lineup again, Like there's no

251
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: there's no reason he shouldn't be playing like he's a

252
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: major league caliber hither he's just probably still not people

253
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: yelled me for this, probably still not the best second

254
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: basement this roster.

255
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: He's also like he can hit eighth, he can hit

256
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: ninth in this team when he's playing second basse on

257
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Nils playing center field. That's that's an awesome eight

258
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: nine hitter to have wherever you place him for the day.

259
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: That's one of the better eight nine hitters in Major

260
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: League Baseball at the moment. Ah.

261
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I guess probably just because usually do

262
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: healthy you know, they're bad hitters, Like usually they're just

263
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: not good. Then, like for a guy who's gonna be

264
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: like a league average hitter with some solid defense at

265
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 3: the nine spot, it's really good. Here's a nitty gritty.

266
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: Do you think Louise and Helacuoniy gets to that ball

267
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: on Friday Night?

268
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. I don't think so either.

269
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: I thought that there was a lot of an undue hate,

270
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: undeserved hate for Jeff after that ground ball I.

271
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: Mean, we know that. Like I love Jeff. I'm a

272
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: big Jeff McNeil guy, always have been, And he was

273
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: very nice to me during COVID when I helped him

274
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: like set up all his streaming stuff on Twitch. So

275
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: like I'm a little biased in my opinion on Jeff McNeil,

276
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: but like I think Mets fans are way too quick

277
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: to like jump down his throat and like start hating

278
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: him and blaming him for all the Mets problems. When again,

279
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: and I know we've said on the podcast twenty times,

280
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: but second half of the year last year, when he

281
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: was healthy, we know he had the elbow thing going

282
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: on in the first half, second half of the year,

283
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: he had like a nine to forty OPS over his

284
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: last forty games before he got injured. This is a

285
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: guy who we know has been a good hitter. He

286
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: was a thirty percent better than the league average hitter

287
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: for years and years on this team. And just a

288
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: little bit of a rough stretch with an injury and

289
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: the Mets not playing well, people completely turned on the guy.

290
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: And when he was playing like that, I totally get it,

291
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: But he showed you the old Jeff McNeil at the

292
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: end of the second half last year. I feel like

293
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: he got to at least give him a shot, and

294
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: people are just not interested in that. Like when McNeil's right,

295
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: he is better than Louis On. That's just simple.

296

315
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: Leuis and Helicooney at this point might be a better

316
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: defender than Jeff. I don't also think I would doubt

317
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: that at second base, especially because that ball on Friday

318
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: night was just so. It was hitting such a perfect

319
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: spot by someone who hited just hard enough to get

320
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: it through and also a big lefty ward, and Jeff

321
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: was playing a little bit more in the hole and

322
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 3: cj Abrams running on the pitch to the point where

323
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: he's just one of the fastest guys in baseball, and

324
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 3: the fact that I think in that bad James Will

325
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: was either down two or one two and he works

326
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: the count back to three two that gave cj Abrams

327
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: the head start, and the fact that the Mets were

328
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 3: no doubles defense and Tyron Taylor was playing was back

329
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: to the wall, like everything just kind of wound up

330
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 3: like as a perfect storm for that run to happen.

331
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: And again, like the people you'd like to blame someone

332
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: with something was horribly wrong like that, and Jeff macgil

333
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: was the easy guy to blame, but that was just

334
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: kind of a hat tip to see j Abrams doing.

335
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: What he did there.

336
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of the thing too where it's like McNeil

337
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: should have made the play and I think he would

338
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: tell you that, and he should.

339
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: Have gotten on the ground.

340
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 3: He should have don't on the ground again front of

341
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: the ball, but he kind of over ran the ball

342
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: and it kind of skirreded in between his glove and

343
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: his foot and that was when it kicked off his

344
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: foot and when the center field that was the problem.

345
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing too where it's like the

346
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: Sodo play was difficult. He should have made it. He'll

347
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: tell you he should have made it. It did end

348
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: up costing us. But like those are the things that

349
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: it's just gonna happen in one hundred and sixty two

350
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: game season. You don't get perfect defense every single time

351
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: you go out there. Players don't make every single play.

352
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: I guess them sound like I'm making excuses for these guys,

353
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: but like, I don't know, it's it's hard for me. Again.

354
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: When the Mets are the first team in baseball to

355
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: twenty wins, told you they were gonna win. On the podcast,

356
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: they said Mets are winning. They won big first team

357
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: to twenty wins. It's hard for me to get overly

358
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: frustrated about a loss like that when so many things

359
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: have gone so well for this team that the one

360
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: or two times that it hasn't to be like, oh

361
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: my god, it's happening again. It's over. MacNeil sucks. Wan

362
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Soto's terrible. Like I can't even rationalize being that kind

363
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: of fan right now.

364
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: No, of course, I don't think anyone wants to be

365
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: that kind of fan. I think the people who are

366
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: that kind of fan, like they don't want to be

367
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: that way either. It's just something that's so cheap they

368
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: might them, but so it's so deep inside them they

369
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: can't even distinguish what's actually real and what's actually fake

370
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 3: at this point, like it's want. It's like an unknowing one.

371
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 3: It's involuntary desire. You don't even realize what's going on

372
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: right there. But also that game is so weird, just

373
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: because like the triple play was such bullshit, Like that

374
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: was the worst calls ever scene in my life, Like

375
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: especially because it's it's funny that the guys in Washington,

376
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 3: they love talking about how bad the booth is in Washington,

377
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: that you're like on top of the world there. Yeah,

378
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: you're your nine stories up and you can't see a thing.

379
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: And just the fact that they even after like they

380
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: had to get the replays in because they were kind

381
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: of like so so bad it at first, and then

382
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: they got to replace they were like, oh what that

383
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: what's going on here?

384
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Is?

385
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: How good does it happened?

386
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: And Marquez Yeah, again, I like when because Carlos Mendoza

387
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: doesn't do it a lot, but I'd like to see

388
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: that's in his bag to get very animated, to get

389
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: very angry, to go out there and like put on

390
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: not a scene. And he also thinking the Jackty did

391
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: a really good job of he does a really good

392
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: job of arguing to that point, but then being able

393
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: to take it back, get back to the Doug guys

394
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: still have the rest of the game.

395
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: It does feel like and a lot of times like

396
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: I've wanted managers to get ejected before, just like show

397
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: a little life. Mendoza makes me like kind of rethink

398
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: it a little bit in the way where it's like

399
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: it seems like it's actually very important for him to

400
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: be in the dugout with this team, whatever he does

401
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: in between nings, whatever he's doing during the game, like,

402
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: it seems like he likes being extremely involved. And for him,

403
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: he was like, as much as it's like a motivational

404
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: thing to sometimes get ejected from a game and yell

405
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: at an umpire, he knows that the value is for

406
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: him to be there, and I kind of I kind of.

407
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: Like that, Yeah, that's kind of the The larger point

408
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: I'm making is that he knows the spot, because getting

409
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: going past the point might be counterproductive, Like he just said,

410
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: like getting ejected again, taken out of the game, that's

411
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: probably a little bit of flating, but showing that you

412
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: give a shit and showing that you're invested in something

413
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: that was objectively bullshit. You lost, you lost a whole

414
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: inning of a rally, or in that instance, it was

415
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: just it was something I couldn't even I couldn't believe

416
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: it watching it back, like seeing.

417
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: Those Daniel couldn't believe it. He immediately threw the ball

418
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: to second base and.

419
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: It was obvious.

420
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, this is this shouldn't be happening. The way,

421
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: this is right now, but it's it was a very stupid.

422
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: So they also that it's not reviewable.

423
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Field, I still don't understand how in Major League Baseball,

424
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: with all the cameras and everything, why do we have

425
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: non reviewable plays. And I'm gonna just go back to

426
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: Monday's game as well. James Wood straight up missed the ball, missed.

427
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: It didn't come close to it, didn't foul tip at anything.

428
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: Alfas clanked it off his glove and it dropped and

429
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: the umpire's like, foul tip. I'm like, and they're like,

430
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: that's not a reviewable play. Why we have the replays?

431
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: Why is it not reviewable?

432
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: It's the umpire's union.

433
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: It's Joe west All Road, back to west All, Rosie,

434
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: back to Cowboy Joe. You're there to see him. But

435
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: it was nice to see the team fight even through

436
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: that thing, because like when Fianzo's did hit that Basis

437
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: clearing triple on Friday, it was like nice, yes, like

438
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: that was was crazy boy. I mean Dylan Cruz just

439
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: to Dove, and I also shout out to Dylan Cruz

440
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: who's turned to season around a really big way over

441
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: these last couple of weeks.

442
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: Gonna be a met killer, and he's just a really

443
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: good player.

444
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: Like we said this before the series, because national team

445
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: isn't good, but they have dogs and Cruise, Wooden, Abrams.

446
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: Those are three dogs and that's going to be the

447
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: top three of this lineup for the foreseeable future. We're

448
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: gonna deal with that twelve times a year, every single year.

449
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 3: But for him to dive and make such a bad

450
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: play in the field when he is a pretty good defender.

451
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: But this guy that plays with his set on fire,

452
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: shout Brian snicker and then come back the next inning

453
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: or they guess that was the eighth inning, so at

454
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: the bottom of the ninth inning and hit that rope

455
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 3: that was the triple that he hit when so they

456
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: kind of probably should have caught the ball crashing into

457
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 3: the wall.

458
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: But still it was a tough play.

459
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 3: Like cool to see young player like that like pick

460
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 3: himself up and also just cool to see the mess

461
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: picked themselves up after such a horrible call when he

462
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 3: gets them to end up taking the lead in this game,

463
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 3: having a.

464
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: Real chance they probably should have won it.

465
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Definitely, Yeah know, they definitely should have won that one.

466
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of the day. Just

467
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: didn't just didn't do enough, didn't do enough, didn't play

468
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: perfect baseball. The National's play a good game too. They

469
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: came back like they fought and.

470
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 3: Carl that was great hit. The ro got to ninety

471
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 3: eight miles an hour. Had a part in the middle innings, right.

472
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: I think he retired like it was twelve in a

473
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: row or something. It was it was eleven in a

474
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: row after CJ. Abrams hit that no out RBI triple

475
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: and he was on third with nobody out, he retired.

476
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: Eleven batutis in a row from that point on and

477
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: the r race down to one point two six in

478
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: the season, which is incomprehensible.

479
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: And we also have to talk about Standing and Minter.

480
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: They looked human the series. Standing finally looked human like

481
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: for some reason. I guess in Washington he struggles Mintor

482
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: on the IL, which sucks because he's been really, really

483
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: good up until this point. And now Danny Young is

484
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: our lefty. But we mentioned it on the podcast earlier,

485
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: I'll mention it again. Brooks Raley back in the Mets work.

486
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: There's a chance Brooks Raily could be on this major

487
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: league team at some point, especially if aj Mintor's injury

488
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: is a little bit longer than we expected, which I

489
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: think there's a chance that it's not going to be

490
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: a quick eye Els didn't for him.

491
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 3: I mean, this just keep not really saying anything about it.

492
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 3: But then Mendoza mentioned before the game today it was

493
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 3: a Latin injury, and I think originally they said it

494
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: was a tricep tight this situation, so I don't really

495
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: like the fact that we're changing body parts now like

496
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: that to me is not a very not very fun thing,

497
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: and he has proved to be really important in this bullpen.

498
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: I don't if it's like, if it's weeks, that's okay.

499
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: If it's months, something probably has to change.

500
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: If it's months, you probably have to go out and

501
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: look for a legitimate left hand to relieve it, or

502
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: go trade for right well, I mean possibly, just it depends.

503
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: Also the weirdness with Edwin like pitching.

504
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 3: We again, we'll start talking about Saturday's game now, where

505
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: he throws twenty two to twenty three pitches and is

506
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 3: not available to work back to back days, which I

507
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: do understand in a vacuum, especially in a game you're

508
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: winning by five runs, you kind of kind of make

509
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: that decision, like we're not using edwin this game. You

510
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: think that Ryan Stanik is a good enough for Liever

511
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: to be able to spot close games once or so weak,

512
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: especially when you have twenty wins, your closes getting a

513
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 3: lot of work like other guys in that bullpen can't

514
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 3: step up to do it because Stannik is the other

515
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: guy in the bullpen who you hope to get can

516
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 3: get lefties out like big lefties in big spots because

517
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: all of his pitches move kind of straight up and

518
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 3: down vertically.

519
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: I really much people do in regard too.

520
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: Also, for some reason, wasn't in that game on Sunday either,

521
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: which I thought of the weird situation there, but I

522
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 3: mean not a weird situation that would I didn't rely

523
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 3: see the decision making. If there's one thing that we

524
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: have gotten on Mendoza a little bit for and it's

525
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: like brief, what's incredibly successful tenure as the Mets manager,

526
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 3: it's at times definitely missing some bullpen decisions.

527
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Not not anything.

528
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: That we're actually like harping on or like taking shots

529
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: for it, but it's just once in a while that

530
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 3: it does seem like there's a bit of like an

531
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: overthinking or like too much too much planning and went

532
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 3: in enough reacting in the moments what's.

533
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: Actually going in front you.

534
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes it would be a little too many vibes like

535
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker not getting that app at for salig Morte.

536
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: Now the very bad decision right there.

537
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, just lets knock out Saturday first and then put

538
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 3: a bow on Sunday. But again, seeing that line of

539
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: come out thinking Jef mcgal center fields is systerical, hilarious. Absolutely,

540
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: but I also do it's very clear the way the

541
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: Mets are managing this because like Clay Holmes is pitching

542
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: outfield's not gonna be could you don't really have to

543
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: bring your club in the fields? There's no reason, Yeah,

544
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: of course. So it's great. And again literally he got

545
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: no chances in center field this first major league start there,

546
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 3: which is amazing.

547
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: It is so funny. But it's also because Clay Holmes

548
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: is really good.

549
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: Again, I was I was pissed at the beginning of

550
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 3: this game because they make Clay Holmes come out for

551
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: a couple of pitches in the first inning and then

552
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 3: go for rain to lay where I'm like, you have

553
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: to be kidding me.

554
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: They're making this guy do this.

555
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: But locked in after that.

556
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: Not a real big swing and miss game from Clay Holmes.

557
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: Sweeper command was all over the place, only five swings

558
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 3: and misses, two strikeouts in total.

559
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: But the Nationals put.

560
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: Fifteen balls in play against him, and twelve of those

561
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 3: fifteen or sixteen were on the ground, and of the

562
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: four that were in the air, two of them were

563
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: pop ups over fifty degree large angle and had absolutely

564
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 3: no chance of doing damage either. So there were of

565
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: sixteen balls put them to play, only fourteen of them

566
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 3: actually had a chance to do damage, which is just crazy.

567
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: Best best sinker commands he's had, think his entire season

568
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: things was just getting everything in the ground.

569
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: It's very funny like Clay Holmes is like a super

570
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: like old school new school pitcher, if that makes sense.

571
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: It's like, yes, you do these things really really well.

572
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: That's all you're gonna do. You're gonna throw your turbo sinker,

573
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw your sweeper, you're gonna get ground balls.

574
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: But like old school baseball heads would watch this guy

575
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: like man, he lets the team put the ball in play,

576
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: like they wouldn't realize what's causing this kind of stuff.

577
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I talk about this sometimes.

578
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: A friend of the pop Matt Eddie Baseball America about

579
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: like finding the next like branded web and how like

580
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: I we're in a dynasty league together and I have

581
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: Jackie Shadow, what's on my team?

582
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 2: He's like, I wish I could have him, like.

583
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: Something, It's gonna click one day for that guy. I

584
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: know of this, but it's like just once he leaves

585
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 3: the Angels, like Griffin Canning.

586
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, well I could.

587
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: Just throw sinker after sinker after sinker after sinker and

588
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 3: like you're you're going to get out, like you you're

589
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 3: really powerless against it. And the Nationals are also a

590
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: team that doesn't really have a lot of opportunities tom

591
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 3: like have platoon splits. They don't have a lot of

592
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 3: like apps hitters on their bench, so they weren't able

593
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 3: to like super stack the line but lefties. He's still

594
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: a good few lefties in this lineup, but definitely not

595
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: able to stack the way some other teams a better

596
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 3: depth could do.

597
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: So I think that also helps Clay Holmes.

598
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: We knows you could just do those the sinker sweeper

599
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: things every single then and go from there.

600
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again Francis Guiverer's got his home running the game.

601
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: Love seeing him back. Love I love the new stance,

602
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: I love the war haacks he's taken at the plate.

603
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: Missed this guy so much. Love watching Francis Guavera's play baseball.

604
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: And Edwin Diaz just fucking loves adrenaline. This guy's believable.

605
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: It's awesome.

606
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 3: A couple of balls and after also amazing because this

607
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 3: happened a lot last year and Fanis Guiverers goes down

608
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: and talks to him and all of a sudden he's

609
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 3: finding stretch down, which is cool. But then this game,

610
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: it all comes back to everything in baseball, snowball fact,

611
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: everything builds on the day before, in the day after

612
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,239
Speaker 3: the fact that Clay Holmes was only able to go

613
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 3: the five innings with seventy pitches, had to do the

614
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 3: up down, which I'm sure they were like, we can't

615
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: put you that hard in this game. You didn't have

616
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 3: to burn five relievers in that game, which again, the

617
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: five relievers are great, the whole team pitcher shout out,

618
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: which shout out to them for that. But that adds

619
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: on to Sunday when you don't exactly have your entire

620
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 3: bullpen at your disposal. And then you have to kind

621
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: of try to cut some corners, get the guy like

622
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: Jose Boutou who's struggling in the game, and then things

623
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 3: spin out and you wind up blowing a six run lead.

624
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've been looking more into Budo stuff too, and

625
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: I know he is. I'm not going to disagree that

626
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: he's struggling, but it's for sure not as bad as

627
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: I think everybody's making it out.

628
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 2: Definitely not.

629
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 3: I mean we said that yesterday on the voicemail episode

630
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 3: and we got a YouTube comments someone said they're unsubscribed

631
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: from this channel because we said Buddha wasn't that bad.

632
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: No, we said that Buddo was too good to cut,

633
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: which I think I think if you actually listen to

634
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: those words, you know exactly what we're saying. We're not

635
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: saying Buddo is too good. We're not like, oh, this

636
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: guy's unbelievable. It's like you can't cut him because he

637
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: will play on thirty Major League Baseball teams right now.

638
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably be in the rotation for half of them.

639
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: But that's just kind of where it's at. And again,

640
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: like right now he's going through it's been a bad time,

641
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 3: but that's kind of the nature of the beast with

642
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 3: relief pictures. He's still you want to hear something. He

643
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 3: stills a lower ra and Edmund Diz, I know it's

644
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: fucked up.

645
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: Like that's the lower Ra getting a ton of ground balls,

646
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: still getting chased, still gett whiffs. It's like when things happen, everybody,

647
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: it's it's the Monday morning quarterback. It's immediately this guy

648
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: sucks good him off the team. But you take a

649
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: step back. Even with the Danny Young stuff, Dan Young's

650
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: is pretty good too, Like.

651
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: It's like, not that bad run, not that bad.

652
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: That bad. Sometimes we look at things under a microscope

653
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: too much, and when you do that, you can find

654
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: the flaws and the issues. But like when you take

655
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: a step back, you're like, oh, the Skins are actually

656
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: still pretty good.

657
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: It's one hundred sixty two of these games. Like we

658
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: need someone to blame when things go wrong, it just happen.

659
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 3: We have to find a way to sleep at night,

660
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: and that's it. And also the problem with this game,

661
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: I think there were much bigger problems than the Jose

662
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: Boutteau disasterating which first off, you have Mitchell Parker so

663
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 3: completely on the ropes national starting pitcher five runs in

664
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: the first inning with four walks, you're all over the guy.

665
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: You never really get the big hit editing to fully

666
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: break it open. And then as someone who got no

667
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 3: swings and misses, was missing no bats, wound up with

668
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: getting no strikeouts in the game, you still allow him

669
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: to get through five innings and ninety six pitches and

670
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: you don't step on the throat and kind of kill

671
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: this Nationals team at their most weak spot, which is

672
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: their bullpen, and get that bullpen in the game where

673
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: they could have had to pitch seven or.

674
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: Eighty possibly intics.

675
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen their bullpen as bad. It's horrendous. Like

676
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: if you're playing the Nationals, the path to victory is

677
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: get the starter out of the game as soon as

678
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: physically possible, because they just don't have quality arms right

679
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: now in that bullpen that can shut down or lineup

680
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: and for the Mets to not add on more or

681
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: more and more and more. And then even when we

682
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: got the chance later in the game, second and third,

683
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: nobody out late in the game and then we get

684
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: three ground ball outs and it's just like we got

685
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: we can't lose focus in those moments. You have to capitalize.

686
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: You have to at least put a ball in the

687
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: air to get one of those runs home, because it

688
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: completely changes what that ninth inning would look like.

689
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it doesn't even it changes, but it looks

690
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 3: like tangibly, but also changes it the way everyone's feeling

691
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: about it too, the fact that the National has just

692
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: tacked on got themselves back in the game. They're starting

693
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: to feel really, really good. They have all the momentum

694
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 3: if you score one run, and it seemed like it

695
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: was very capable of score one round with second third,

696
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 3: nobody act we got a.

697
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: Gift to on the wild pitch that made it second

698
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: and third, Like.

699
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, literally, I mean it's just like you. And it's

700
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: also that's that's the that's the beef of your lineup,

701
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 3: Like that's the meat right there. And it's just it

702
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 3: wasn't you couldn't you couldn't catch it in there. And

703
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: it comes back to a lot the decision by Cols

704
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 3: Mendoz and not to pinch hit for Starling Marte against

705
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 3: her right handed pitcher with Jesse Winker, which I understand

706
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 3: Marte is not playing a lot and I'm sure that

707
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 3: the Marte proponed so like it's hard to you know,

708
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: it's hard to its hard to pla baseball, but you're

709
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 3: not gets his in that bat.

710
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: It's very hard to kinda get high.

711
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: Kind of get get on a roll. But it's just

712
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: a situation where there's a better player on the bench.

713
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: You have to figure out why to do something with that.

714
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: Marte is not.

715
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we saw just see Winker play on Monday.

716
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: She can play a couple of games serious. He's just

717
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: he's just straight up much better, much better. And I

718
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: say this even against lefties, I just probably play him

719
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: instead of Marte. At this point, I think I'll make

720
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: the declaration for myself. I'm sure you stand with this too,

721
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,239
Speaker 1: But Starling Martes should not be on this team. I

722
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: think he has literally zero value. There's not anything that

723
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: he's good at anymore, maybe besides vibes. It seems like

724
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: everybody loves him. He's a great vibes guy. But in

725
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: terms of play and being a serious twenty six man roster, sorry,

726
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: Marte has no room on this team.

727
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: No, because you don't have a calling card, you don't

728
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 3: have a carrying card.

729
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 2: There's not a single trait that you do well.

730
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 3: Again, we talked about the voicemail episode, but even the

731
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 3: thing that Martine's do well, which was run when he

732
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 3: was chugging around the bases on that Luis Herrenz double,

733
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 3: it's just like, oh, is he even.

734
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: Gonna make it here?

735
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: Like I don't know what's gonna happen, but like he

736
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 3: just doesn't in that moment, I understand Mendoza wanting to

737
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: give Marte a chance to get the big head, because

738
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: he did get a big hit a few days ago,

739
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: got the walkoff single against the Phillyes. And you like

740
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 3: having veterans who are feeling good and playing well even

741
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: and not in consistent at bats.

742
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: And Marte has taken this reduced role in stride.

743
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: For sure.

744
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: He hasn't been difficult. He hasn't been knowing, he hasn't

745
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 3: said anything like he understands. Teams playing well doesn't really

746
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: have anything to do with the way he's he's playing.

747
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 3: The team's playing well to all the mat at the

748
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: end of the day. But in that instance, in a vacuum,

749
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: you have one played appearance against a right handed pitcher

750
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: and you need the fly ball, it's probably a much

751
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: more likely situation that Jesse Winker comes in there.

752
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, if starlet Martaker comes to the outfield, I'd allow it,

753
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: but he can't play the outfield either anymore. So now

754
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: he's just a bad hitting DH. And there's just no

755
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: room on any Major League Baseball team for that bad

756
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: hitting righty DH that can't move. Yeah, so it's it's

757
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: just a way worse version of Mark Viento's.

758
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally.

759
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: And then the other part of this game that pissed

760
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: me off that was a frustrating was just how well

761
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: McGill was pitching and the fact that we weren't able

762
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: to take advantage of a gem by him, especially because

763
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 3: going through those middle endings he settled in so nicely

764
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: at a time when for most of Tyler and McGill's career,

765
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 3: whenever he gets those you know, fifteen outs that it

766
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: suddenly everything starts to go away for him. But like

767
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: he had retired twelve in a row heading into that

768
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: seventh inning, and that was only this is only the

769
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 3: second time this year met pitcher has reached the set

770
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: of seventh inning, joining Koi back in Sacramento a few

771
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: weeks ago. And you had a chance to do this

772
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 3: save the ball PENETRC again. You use a lot of

773
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 3: those guys the last two nights, it was gonna be amazing.

774
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 3: And then so the loses that ball in the sun.

775
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: He just kind of stands there and it drops, which

776
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 3: that sucks. So that sucks to say, especially because when

777
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 3: you look back at both of these two losses you

778
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 3: had in the series, like at least makes it. If

779
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 3: wants makes one of those two plays, you definitely win

780
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: that game. We makes one of those two plays, like

781
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: two I'd call them better than fifty to fifty balls

782
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: and neither of them. And then once that happens, Josh

783
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: Bell ropes a single, the run scores because Luis Carsie

784
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: was husting out of the box and that pop up he

785
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: gets second base. Then mcguil's to come out of the game.

786
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: That's when Buto comes in, and that's when it gets

787
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: to be a disaster.

788
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

789
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: No, it was definitely a problem there. But whatever I mean,

790
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: the negative stuff it happened, happened in the past. We've

791
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: talked all already. I want to talk about a couple

792
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: positive things here. So we talked about Nimo playing well.

793
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: We talked about like the pitching is looking so great.

794
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Mark Vianzo is actually kind of playing some decent baseball

795
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: over like the last week or so. If you look

796
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: out yees, so I'm gonna give you some numbers, you're

797
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 1: right for this. So he's currently riding a six game

798
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: hit streak, which we know hit streaks can be if

799
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: he because you go one for five and technically still

800
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: have hit streaks and that's not a good day. But

801
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: if you look at Mark Viento's he's actually gotten a

802
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: hit in every single game since April twelfth, except for

803
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: April nineteenth. That's the only game in between that he's

804
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: played in since April twelfth where he hasn't had a hit,

805
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: and more so, looking on MBI dot com that currently

806
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 1: updated the stats in his last fifteen games, three homers,

807
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: thirteen RBIs, two eighty six average, three forty nine on

808
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: base five point thirty six slugging. That's awesome. That version

809
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: of Mark Viento's is incredible. And you also line that

810
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: up with the Met's winning a lot of baseball games,

811
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: it makes sense. The slash line is still not pretty

812
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: for him, still under seven hundred three zero three on

813
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: base percentage, but over these last couple of weeks, we

814
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: are starting to see Mark Vento's improve at the plate.

815
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: And we've noticed that he's not swinging and missing as much,

816
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: not striking out as much. There have been some other

817
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: things while the struggles have been happening this year that

818
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: there have been improvements on. This is a really good

819
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: time for Viento, so and I hope he keeps riding

820
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: it as well and.

821
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: Just getting some big hits, like when he got that

822
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: hit on Friday.

823
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: I know it was a bloop, but just like literally

824
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 3: being the guy that comes through for the team and

825
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: like get putting the guys ahead like that is a

826
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 3: good feeling. That was Vento's did that a lot last year.

827
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 3: He got a lot of big hits, and I think

828
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: it's just it's fine. Just time time to take a

829
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: month here, Yeah, take a month. Another guy doing well.

830
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: I mean Tyler McGill. It's just the way he's pitched.

831
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm so awake wide the way around. I'm never sleeping.

832
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 3: When you go back to the end of last August

833
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: and the Mets called him back up to be to

834
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: join the rotation down the stretch, we're looking at sixty

835
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: five innings when Ei ra under two and a strike

836
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: out right over thirty percent.

837
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: Think about that for a second, and when he did that.

838
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: Last year he was just throwing fastball as a sinkers.

839
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: That was it.

840
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 3: He was just going out there and then kitchen sinking

841
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 3: at the rest of it. We're now this year. He

842
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 3: that slide there that he's been throwing is so good.

843
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: It's so nasty good.

844
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 3: The depth that he's added to that pitch, the amount

845
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: of swings and missy he's able to get on it consistently,

846
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: it's Obscene's ridiculous. And that start on Sunday he got

847
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: six wings and misses on it, with five more in

848
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: the fastball, and the fastball was just heavy at the

849
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 3: top of the zone just no one could catch up

850
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 3: to it. He was sitting I think it was sitting

851
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: like ninety six on that one. Why God in ninety

852
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: seven and a half, Yes, and he was sitting in

853
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: ninety six. And also there was a cool note on

854
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: Twitter from uh, who is it right here?

855
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: I have it right here?

856
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: Where is he?

857
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: Where is he is?

858
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: Someone that McGill was working with, Drew Almamo too a

859
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 3: Push Performance, which is the pitching lab that McGill was

860
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: training at over the winter, and he said that in

861
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 3: December and early January, Tyler came to them, was like,

862
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: I want to try throwing the kick change which has

863
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: been the good pitches going around baseball, which is a

864
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 3: pitch for some guys like mcgil that aren't as a

865
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: as a depth to change ups. We know McGill has

866
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: been in and out with a change up in his career,

867
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 3: been a little radic with them, so they started throwing

868
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: the change ups. They picked it up immediately and right

869
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: now so far as this year, throwing ten percent of

870
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 3: the time against the lefties, mix it in really nicely

871
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: on Sunday when he needed to. It's just this is

872
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 3: now suddenly a guy with four above average pitches and

873
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: a curveball he could throw for call strikes, and it's like,

874
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 3: there's no real I understand we've all been hurt by

875
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: him in the past, but there really isn't any there's

876
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: nothing in his way of being like a high ends,

877
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: mid rotation major league pitcher for the foreseeable future.

878
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you're looking at McGill right now, and again

879
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: it's early in the season and there's there's so much

880
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: left in the ear, but rocking a near thirty percent

881
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: k rate a walk rate under ten percent, So he's

882
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: one of the better Kate to walk ratios amongst starting

883
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: pitchers in baseball right now. He's still getting his ground balls,

884
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: which is pretty solid. He's got a LOWIRA. He's going

885
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: six seven innings into games like these are all one

886
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: point seven four. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's got

887
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: low ERA.

888
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

889
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: And this game we talked about a lout with macguil

890
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 3: this year, just the aggressiveness his own confidence faced twenty

891
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: three bad as, nineteen first pitch strikes.

892
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's so amazing. I know. Uh. I saw

893
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: on a podcast Paul Gervais's former New York Mets prospect

894
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: trade to the Tampa Bay Rays, talk about the Ray's

895
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: philosophy of pitching and he was like, it works for me.

896
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: He was like, they only want you to throw fastball

897
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: down the middle. Oh oh, and I'm not saying for

898
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: Tylermangill do just but the idea is that for the Rays,

899
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: the numbers that they've run, the analytics, whatever it is,

900
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: the equations, the advantage that you have being a pictuer.

901
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: Oh one. And we've talked about this on the flip

902
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: side of the hitters being down to those baseball the

903
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: advantage that you have is so so massive that you

904
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: you have to be oh one on pictures. And Tyler

905
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: McGill in this game, in a lot of games this year,

906
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: has been attacking batters and what do you know, Tyler

907
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: McGill has been incredible. So love to see this improving

908
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: from Tyler McGill. He's looking great and I mean, guys

909
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: just grooving right now, grooving amazing.

910
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: I also want to mention quick on Sunday's game that

911
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: Saturday night we had a big piece of baseball history.

912
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: You Heno Suarez hit four home runs in a game.

913
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 3: And that's also relevant that Diamonbacks are coming to town

914
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 3: for the series starting on Tuesday. Gary put on a

915
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 3: clinic with four home run stats that whoever was doing

916
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 3: research for SI and the truck was feeding him. But

917
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: just he talked for a whole inning about four home

918
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: run like facts in Major League Baseball, the fact that

919
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: one no Met has ever hit four home runs in

920
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: the game, but six players who have played for the

921
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: Mets had hit four home runs in the game earlier

922
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 3: in their careers. How many of them think you can name?

923
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: Probably not many, I'm gonna guess to Piazza, No, Sean Green,

924
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: I know Sean Green.

925
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: Did that was that was what I couldn't get.

926
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: Okay, Sean Green, uh del Gato, Yes, okay, that's two.

927
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: Then there's six six totally, yeah, sixth total that have

928
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: have four home runs that have played for the Mets afterwards,

929
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: so they did before they got to the Mets. Yes,

930
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: there's one that I think that's very obvious that you're

931
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: not getting. Dave Kingman. No one, that's obvious that I'm

932
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: not getting Beltron No, Willie Mays. Oh, Willie Mays.

933
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, what he's you know he's for then?

934
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: And Mike Cameron.

935
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: J J.

936
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 2: Martinez.

937
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Mike Cameron, JD. Martinez. I forgot about. He

938
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: was the most recent one.

939
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: And this was the last fact that Garry had that

940
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 3: was just pure heat because J. J. Martinez also did

941
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 3: that while playing for the Diamondbacks. Tory Levolo the first

942
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: manager ever to be the manager for two separate four

943
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 3: home run games.

944
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: What what? Yes?

945
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: And it's crazy as far as third player ever, he

946
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: hit four home runs the game and his team loses,

947
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: you know else, the dead the legend at Dela Hanty

948
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: ed Dela Hanty. Yeah, the guy fell, yeah, who fell

949
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: into Niagara Falls. Because he was drunk on the road trip.

950
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's by the way, I think is he a

951
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer? Ed Delahanty's in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

952
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 2: I think he's a Hall of Famer.

953
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look it up really quickly, just so we

954
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: can tell the story just briefly, because it's insane. Ed

955
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: dela Hanty Hall of Fame baseball player, seventy war for

956
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: his career, one of the best players of the late

957
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, which is an insane sentence to say. Ed

958
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: Delahanty alcoholic, loved that, loved drinking, and he died at

959
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: age thirty five because he fell into Niagara Falls and

960
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: fell off the falls. That's how he died. He drowned

961
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: hypothermia dead, fell off Niagara Falls at thirty five, in

962
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: the prime of his career. The year before he had

963
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: ten he had a ten forty three ops in one

964
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three games. That season he played forty

965
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: two games, had an eight twenty four ops dead Niagara Falls,

966
00:35:58,920 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: fell off.

967
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 3: People also said that when he did fall, he was

968
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 3: very drunk and apparently on the train ride there. This

969
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 3: is a this is a quote from the conductor that

970
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: dela Hanty was brandishing a straight raizer and threatening passengers

971
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 3: after you consume five whiskeys.

972
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: That's crazy, but that's that's how baseball used to be real.

973
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: Real men smoke a cigarette, smoke a cigar and threaten

974
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: some passengers on the on the train and then possibly

975
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: and die of n Araka falls.

976
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: I guess that's what men were men, all right, But

977
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: dela Hanty legendary ball player. But now moving on, got

978
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 3: the season series preview gets the diying Backs starting on Tuesday.

979
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 3: Dimacks are a good team during quality baseball team Mark

980
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: Ferryhead and Diamonbacks their team that's probably gonna be in

981
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 3: the mix in National League Division race with the Dodgers,

982
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 3: the wildcard race, might be competing with them. It's important

983
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: to win these games against the team that we're directly

984
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: competing against. Also important because we're heading to Arizona next week.

985
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: It's a quick it's a it's a quick home and

986
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: home with the Diamondbacks with trip to Saint Louis in between.

987
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: But as far as pitching matchups go in this series,

988
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 3: Tuesday is Peterson versus WARDA.

989
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: Rodriguez.

990
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 3: Wednesday, that's when we have our open spot. In the

991
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: rotation and all reports indications right now or that it

992
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 3: will be Brandon Waddell, and I'll talk about why that's

993
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 3: going through Brandon Waldell in the second that's against Corbyn

994
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 3: Burns and Thursday afternoon I'm gonna be in the ballpark.

995
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: I think Mark will be as well.

996
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: Got a bit of an ace off here, kind of

997
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: half an ace off because we've got Code Sango versus

998
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 3: Zach Gallen.

999
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: All right, so tell the people why Brandon Wadell first

1000
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: before I start talking about this offense.

1001
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 3: The biggest thing is mostly is that the Diamondbacks are

1002
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: a very lefty heavy ball club. This team between Corby

1003
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 3: and Carroll, peven Smith, who's tearing the ripping the cover

1004
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: off the bar and now's got eleven hundred ohps the

1005
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 3: first month of the season. Alec Thomas has been hitting well.

1006
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: Josh Naylor is he left yous he switch, He's jetually

1007
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 3: left handed, he's lefty. So there's a very lefty heavy lineup.

1008
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: So there were some murmurs that this could be the

1009
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 3: Brandon sprot debut. But as we've talked about a lot

1010
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 3: in this show, Brandon Sprote has a tremendous problem with

1011
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 3: left handed batters right now, something that he is struggling

1012
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 3: with in Triple A. And if he had to face

1013
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: Corby Carroll, I do you I think would go very

1014
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: well with the flip side of that.

1015
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: Brandon Wadell is a left handed pitcher.

1016
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 3: So I think that when you could get this Diamondbacks

1017
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 3: team to one, subdue corbyan Carroy a little bit too,

1018
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 3: get Pavid Smith and Alex Thomas had the lineup, it's

1019
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: very helpful.

1020
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: So I think that's where they're going to go with this.

1021
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: Yes, because this team mashes. This team scored the most

1022
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: runs in Major League Baseball quietly last year. I feel

1023
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: like a lot of people didn't realize, yeah, that the

1024
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: Diamonbacks scored the most runs in the league. Josh Naylor

1025
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: beast awesome. You guys have seen him in the Yankees

1026
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: for years. He's awesome. Tim Tawah has been on like

1027
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: a crazy little run filling in for Katel Martels mashing.

1028
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 3: It's a big shout out to Tim Tawa because when

1029
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 3: katal Marte went down, I think a lot of people

1030
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 3: assume that Jodan Lawler was going to get the call.

1031
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 3: But Tawa is a twenty six year old minor league.

1032
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 3: He's always hit well in the upper levels just I

1033
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: mean more so gets on base that hit well, and

1034
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 3: he's just showing up and just getting on base and

1035
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: hitting well. Like he's just kind of filled in very

1036
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 3: admirably as a guy that was kind of just seen

1037
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 3: his major league death.

1038
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out Tim Tawa. I believe he was a

1039
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: teammate of a former Diamondbacks minor leaguer that I was

1040
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: friends with, Alex King, So shout out those guys. Nice,

1041
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: Heyujeo Suarez ten home runs most of major league baseball

1042
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: strikeout home run. That's what you're gonna get with him.

1043
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: He absolutely mashes Corban Carroll is playing MVP baseball. He

1044
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: is one of the best players in the league, of

1045
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: the ten best players I think right now in major

1046
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: league baseball. He can hit for power, he can run,

1047
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: he can field, he has a good arm. He is

1048
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: a five tool player, and you will be shocked at

1049
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: how hard he hits the baseball considering his size, not

1050
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: much bigger than mer James. Like, he's a small guy that.

1051
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: I don't like. I don't like hearing that.

1052
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: But no of in terms of in terms of like

1053
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 3: how that me and Corbin Carrot like the same size

1054
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 3: and baball five t different is not the same. That's

1055
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: not like me and Wolpe being like one stand deviation

1056
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 3: off from each other. Yeah, but otherwise, again, like this

1057
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: team is good is you will see Heraldo Perdomo, who's

1058
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 3: public enemy number one f Francisco indoors all start bit

1059
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: a few years ago. Yeah, don't like that, but again,

1060
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: this is another team that has had some struggles both

1061
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: in the bullpen in the back of their rotation so

1062
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 3: far the season.

1063
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: I do kind of love the idea of Mets fans

1064
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: just booing the shit out of Heraldo Perdomo. Oh yeah,

1065
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: I think that's a call to action Mets fans, if

1066
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: you're too let's see if we can get a boot

1067
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: for Heraldo Perdomo.

1068
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: Because also I'm sure positive that Gary and Keithan Ronn

1069
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: will pick up on it.

1070
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 2: Why he's being booed. We can talk about Murphy from

1071
00:39:59,360 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 2: the series.

1072
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: He did a great job.

1073
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think good.

1074
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: I think he's he's getting more confident. I think he

1075
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 3: needs to get a lot more confident. I think there's

1076
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 3: a couple it's just.

1077
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: Something you don't He doesn't have a lot of REPS,

1078
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: and I think I mean, it seem like Gary really

1079
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: liked it because at the end of the game on Monday,

1080
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: Murphy was like, by the way, thank you to s

1081
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: and Why and everybody, gentleman. Of course he thanked Dust

1082
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: for coming on the podcast, which David Murphy come on,

1083
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: but he was thinking everybody, and Gary's like, oh, yeah,

1084
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get more time on here, like it was

1085
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure very cool for Gary as well, like Murphy's

1086
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: one of the best postseason players in Met's history, especially

1087
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: with that twenty fifteen run and Gary being a Mets

1088
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: fan like that, but also like he did give a

1089
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: lot of great insight. And I think it's just like

1090
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: you said, Reps, you listen to our first podcast episodes,

1091
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: they were fucking terrible, Like you just simply can't get

1092
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: better until you start to do it more and more.

1093
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: So Murphy will he feels like he's the successor to Keith.

1094
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. Well, he's I think he's

1095
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: very obviously being groomed for. It seems like this feels

1096
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: like him and Blevin's are the successors for Ron and Keith. Eventually.

1097
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think Ron's anywhere close to being done though,

1098
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 3: why Jerry's doing a lot more of the boot stuff.

1099
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: I think he will be more of the alternate there.

1100
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 4: Ron.

1101
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: Also, the thing is like just doing more national games

1102
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 3: because he's so damn good. But it does seem like

1103
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: Murphy's for a shore. The the proge for Keith right now,

1104
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: which is a hundred.

1105
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.

1106
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 3: But then back to the Diamondbacks here, uh Gotchivers. I mean,

1107
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: just let me talk about Justin Martinez. That guy is unbelievable.

1108
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 3: He hasn't to see hundred three mile an hour fastballs

1109
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 3: and the splither that looks like a ninety mile an

1110
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: hour knuckleball that doesn't move, that doesn't spin but drops

1111
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 3: off a table.

1112
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous how good this guy is.

1113
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 3: And he's the full time closer now with the Diamondbacks,

1114
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 3: with the news that aj Puck will be out for

1115
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: a while. As AJ Puck gets her kind often kind

1116
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 3: of sucks a big part of his career.

1117
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 2: But that's it.

1118
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 3: So he's he's he's crazy. He had kept the walk

1119
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 3: rate really far down to the first couple weeks in

1120
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 3: the season, but it's ticked up a lot in his

1121
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 3: last three I think he started to walk the batters again,

1122
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 3: but it's still just he'll be He'll be blown.

1123
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: Away by what he can do with a baseball.

1124
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: Hey, dive backs have some crazy stuff out there. Shelby Miller, Uh,

1125
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: somebody that we've advocated for on this podcast before, is like,

1126
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: let's give him a shot. He's been unbelievable this year.

1127
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: He's definitely a good reliever for sure. Ryan Thompson herky,

1128
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: jerky side arms, submar type guy. He's like six foot

1129
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: five and throw a submarine, which is crazy. You don't

1130
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: really see that too often. Jalen Beaks getting out left

1131
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: handed batters pretty well. One Mario is a guy that

1132
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: I watched the other day. I don't know if he's

1133
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: on the major league roster right now, but he throws

1134
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: gas as well. Gilbert Diaz is a guy who I

1135
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: don't know if he's on the major league roster currently. Okay,

1136
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: well he throws gas too. But they just got they got.

1137
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: Live arms, yes, and they have too many starting pitchers

1138
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 3: because again, like they have a very veteran staff of

1139
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 3: Zach Gallon, Merril, Kelly, Brandon fo while the Rodriguez and

1140
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: Corbyn Burns was the big move this offseason. So Ryan Nelson,

1141
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 3: who by all accounts is a good major league starting pitcher,

1142
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,439
Speaker 3: he's been pitching along the best one in that rotation. Yeah,

1143
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: he pitch, he's been throwing. He had one again similar

1144
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 3: to him who we talked about before. I guess yeah

1145
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 3: with porther Hodg where it's like one bad belief appearance

1146
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 3: early in the aearvil screwy area up for months where

1147
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 3: that happened to Nelson.

1148
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: But he just he throws bullets and incredible fastball.

1149
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: I've been one of my favorites for years now, as

1150
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: you know.

1151
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 2: But then I think we.

1152
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 3: Should probaly talk about Corban Burns a little bit briefly too,

1153
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: because we will see him this series, and he has

1154
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 3: not really been the ace that was promised so far

1155
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 3: the season for the Diamondbacks. The track guy right is

1156
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 3: ticked down again. The color movement has ticked down again.

1157
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 3: He's not getting any more close to the same kind

1158
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 3: of swing and miss he got a couple of years ago.

1159
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 3: It's a the whip is high. Has not been a

1160
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 3: very good start to his Dimondbacks tenure.

1161
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: Or for Corbin Burns, what's his uh, what's his k rate?

1162
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: Right now? For the season.

1163
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 2: It is twenty two percent.

1164
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that is that is quite low, I will say,

1165
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to check right now. I've always had the

1166
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: feeling that Corbin Burns was a slow starter in terms

1167
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: of the beginning of the season. Last year, his k

1168
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: rate through the first half or through the month of

1169
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: April was twenty five percent. Twenty twenty three, his k

1170
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: rate was nineteen percent. I think he just might be

1171
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: a slow starter. I think I think, like we've talked

1172
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: about it, because we do Corbin Burns offseason was such

1173
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: a big thing that we didn't think he was a

1174
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: three hundred hundred million dollar pitcher and we didn't want

1175
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: to give him that money. So he's definitely I think

1176
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: there is a little bit of REGRESSI in his game

1177
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: right now. He's not that same sy young guy. But

1178
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: I do think he is just a slow starter for

1179
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: the season.

1180
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 3: But it's also it's also definitely part like a longer

1181
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 3: term situation with Corbyn Burns, where like when he when

1182
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: he was early in his career, like the color was

1183
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 3: probably poundful pound the best pitch in baseball. He was

1184
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 3: able to throw that pitch like what fifty sixty to

1185
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: seventy percent of the time and it still be that effective.

1186
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: It's lost a little bit of unicorn movement the last

1187
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 3: few years. It's lost some like legitimate amount velocity. It

1188
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 3: used to be ninety seven, now it's ninety four. So

1189
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 3: it's like that, that's it. That's just not nice. I

1190
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 3: got ninety five ninety six. Even last year it was

1191
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 3: over ninety five. So I think we'll warm up and

1192
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 3: it will.

1193
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: Get back to you. By the way, last two years

1194
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: by far the lowest of his in April. Otherwise when

1195
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: he was when he was on April was shriking out

1196
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: like fifty percent of the guys.

1197
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

1198
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 3: He's the I think it was a much being so started.

1199
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 3: I think as much as like there's just some just

1200
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: some side issues with Corbyn burns, but begain, I think

1201
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: he's still quite a good picture, which was the take

1202
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: that we had all off season. He's still very good pitcher,

1203
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 3: probably still winds up as like a top twenty ish

1204
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 3: pitcher in the league, which at to some degree like

1205
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 3: that makes his contract worth it just to get super

1206
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 3: steady productive from a guy like that. But the top

1207
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: ends might might be gone for Corbyn Burns unless there's

1208
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 3: a he has another trick up his sleeve.

1209
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: And the one thing's.

1210
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 3: Happened pretty well and on their career, and the thing

1211
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 3: that's happened for Burns this year is one the walker

1212
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 3: rate's gone up a little bit back to for it

1213
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 3: was early in his career, and two a lot harder

1214
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 3: contact against him. Command has waned a little bit. So

1215
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: important to get to this guy because again we don't

1216
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 3: really hit. These aren't the best pitching matchups. I want

1217
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 3: to crush it while the Rodger you guests, I think

1218
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 3: that guy's been one of the most over eighty pitches

1219
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 3: in baseball in the last week.

1220
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: That Gade also has gained a shit don of weight.

1221
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 1: He looks chobby, it does.

1222
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: And Zach Allen has been really bad out of the gate,

1223
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: not good fastball command, the movements erratic on it. Also

1224
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 3: his knuckle curve, which is always his pitch, that's also

1225
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 3: been erratic too. Like this is again this Diamondbacks team.

1226
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 3: You can hit, but I would like to also hit

1227
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 3: this series.

1228
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good. It's honestly, like, get out to the ballpark.

1229
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a nice week as well.

1230
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be pretty good weather. The tickets face

1231
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: value wise are really cheap right now for these games,

1232
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:44,919
Speaker 1: at least for me on the season take a badge

1233
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: was twenty one dollars a ticket for the game, which

1234
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: feels insane for what it is. Days in April, yeah,

1235
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: weekdays in April. But this is this is a playoff team.

1236
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna get play with baseball caliber baseball in this series.

1237
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: So get out to the stadium if you can and

1238
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: watch some Mets ball.

1239
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're in a nice little stretch right now

1240
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 3: with a lot of good National League opponents here. And

1241
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 3: again we also do not have another off day until

1242
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 3: next Thursday, until after a road trip for it to

1243
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 3: Saint Louis, Arizona.

1244
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: No off day time.

1245
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: So we had how many games in a row before?

1246
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: Thirteen games in thirteen days.

1247
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 1: And now we have another how many in a row

1248
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: before and off day thirteen?

1249
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: More so, twenty six games in twenty seven days, I believe.

1250
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 3: Let me double check that, because we had the off

1251
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 3: day after the Phillies last there, it's not even allowed.

1252
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 3: Four games against the Nationals, three games against the Diamonbacks,

1253
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 3: three games against the Cardinals, three games against diamonbacks an

1254
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 3: off day back at home next Thursday.

1255
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: So twenty six games, twenty seven days. Yep, Jesus, we

1256
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: can approach it.

1257
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you know I feel about the schedule. It's

1258
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 3: a complete it's complete mockery at the game that we love.

1259
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: Maybe that would be a very special third breakout episode

1260
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: for US one one week where we need to get

1261
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: a third episode.

1262
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: James kills the schedule.

1263
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: I won't even be in it. Just let James soft

1264
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes about the schedule at how.

1265
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 3: I'll go to you by team, I'll go all thirty

1266
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 3: teams the worst parts of their schedule. But I think

1267
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 3: I want to send this out some Frankie Pepers here, well,

1268
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 3: Frankie Peppers for the boys after a nineteen run afternoon.

1269
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 5: Gentlemen, this is Frankie Peppers. How you doing?

1270
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: How you doing? That?

1271
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 5: Is the game we needed today at nineteen to five

1272
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 5: win after yesterday, they needed to put their foot down

1273
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 5: and we did it. So don't feel amazing still, but

1274
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 5: I feel far better than I think a lot of

1275
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 5: people did yesterday. So you know, not the worst series

1276
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 5: you win to you lose to your five hundred and

1277
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 5: if you literally don't lose ever at home, then things

1278
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 5: are good. I called in yesterday, so I don't got

1279
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,719
