1 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: Does Wan Soda hate the Mets, of course not. But 2 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: big media wants you to believe that Wan Soto is miserable. 3 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: They want you to believe that he doesn't like being 4 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: a Met. They want you to believe that he's taken 5 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: private jets. Anything that makes you believe that Wansda does 6 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: not want to be a Met came out today in 7 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: the news and almost none of it's true, which is 8 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: impressive because we have big publications and big news sources 9 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: like ESPN. One of the writers fr ergy dot Com, 10 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: Bob Klappi, is just completely lying through his teeth. 11 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: It's insane. 12 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: Michael k one of the biggest heads in all of baseball. 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: Not talking about his ego. I'm talking about like physical 14 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: size of his head, just lying out his mouth all 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: day on his radio show that nobody listens to. It's 16 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: not the number one radio show in New York. I'm 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: taking shots. You come for our boy, Wan Sodo. We're 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: coming for you. 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: Especially when it's all up substantiated. It's not true. This 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: stuff is crazy. 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: Jeff Passon had to deny his own network's report on 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Baseball. That's how bad it's gotten today. So 23 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna go through the timeline of what's been going 24 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: on since Sunday. Can't believe there's this much to talk about, 25 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: can't believe that there's a timeline for Monday and news 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: that isn't true about Wan Soto. But that's what we're 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: gonna talk about today and give you our thoughts and 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: opinions on it. James, you want to get us started 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: off where we own first? 30 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the first place this all began was 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 3: what was going on Sunday afternoon before Sunday Night Baseball. 32 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: What happened briefly before Sunday Baseball, then during Sunday Night 33 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: Baseball because the report was heading into the day on 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 3: Sunday that want so of those going to be micd 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: up with a Sunday Night Baseball crew in the middle 36 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: of the game for an indgame interview. And then right 37 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: before the game there was a very nominal tweet that 38 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: came out tho. I was like, Oh, it's gonna be 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: Brandon most of the want so other people like, oh, 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: that's kind of weird. But then if you track back 41 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: to the middle of the day, Buster only is kind 42 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: of glothing on Twitter about he can't wait to have 43 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 3: Wan Solo micd up because specifically he said this Buster 44 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: only tweet on Sunday Night Baseball. We've got the Mets 45 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,839 Speaker 3: and Yankees Wan Sola wearing the mic, and we'll ask 46 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 3: him about Aaron Judge's season. Pelias Sports Judge reach base 47 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: for the one hundred times this season. This is still 48 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: the real tweet on Friday night. He did so in 49 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 3: the team's forty fourth game of the season. That's the 50 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: fewest games for team player the reach one hundred bases 51 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: of the season two thousand and two, when Barry Bonds also 52 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 3: made to one hundred times that base in the giants 53 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: forty fourth game. The only other Yankees to reach base 54 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: one hundred times the team's forty four games the season 55 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: where Mickey Mantel nineteen fifty six, who won the Triple 56 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 3: Crown that year along with Babe Ruth in nineteen thirty 57 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 3: and nineteen twenty three. Buster Only tweeted that at ten 58 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: seventeen am on Sunday morning, promoting Juan Solo being on 59 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: the mic on Sunday and Night Baseball and then rising 60 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: four hundred, five hundred characters about great Yankees of all 61 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: time and saying he could wait to ask him about 62 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: the Yankees? 63 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: What the hell? 64 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: And we chastised this a little bit in the episode yesterday, 65 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: but even just to get more on it, What the 66 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: fuck hun of reporting is this? Why do you only 67 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: think you're going to ask Juan Solo about is the Yankees? 68 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: Is Aaron Judge, Mick Mantle? You're gonna ask Wan So 69 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: though about Mickey Mantle. When Francisco Lindoor came from the 70 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: guard the Indians to the Mets, jun ask him about 71 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: Jose Ramirez his first interview, He's us that good questions 72 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 3: about Larry Dobie and Bob Feller. Why on earth it's 73 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 3: the only thing ESPN wanted to talk to about wan 74 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: So though, was the Yankees. So then we never officially 75 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: knew why that happens. Then we get into the game 76 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: ont Sday Night Baseball and Carl Ravish just drops this 77 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: insane quote that Juan Solo and his family take private 78 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 3: jets on every Mets road trip, which I wasn't listening 79 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: to the game. I know you were listening to the game. 80 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: Hearing that back today, I was. 81 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: Like, what, Yeah, it was something that one I wasn't 82 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: really paying attention too much because after a certain amount 83 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: of time, the ESPN broadcast just starts to become droning 84 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: on and it's like they say, nonsense. This is part 85 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: of the reason why it's not true. Jeff Passon had 86 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: to come out later in the day and tweet and 87 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: say the private jet thing is not real. Wan, so 88 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: do travels with the team. There is no private jet. 89 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: Along with the lines of like if they were giving 90 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: him private jets, we've seen that this would have to 91 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: go against the luxury tax threshold. Mets just can't give 92 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: him private jets and count as nothing like these things 93 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: are in the CBA, so that teams can't take advantage 94 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: of these perks to use against the luxury tax threshold. 95 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: And it's just it's just not true. I can't believe 96 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: that Carl Raviers said it. 97 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: But the biggest. 98 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: Problem for me, the biggest, one of the biggest things, 99 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: because Carl Rabags can can say that and people could 100 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: have just knocked it off like I did. Nobody was 101 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: talking about it last night, no one. 102 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: The reason it blew up. 103 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: Today is because Boomer and Geo went super viral on Twitter, 104 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: super viral on their radio show. We've media marveled them 105 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: a couple times now, which is shocking because they're both 106 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: Mets fans, so I don't know why they're doing this. 107 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: They talked about that one he was begging to not 108 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: be on the microphone, and then two they said, who 109 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: knew he would get his own private jet to away games. 110 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 2: None of it is true. 111 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: Granted, Carl ravisch put out bad infos, so they're just 112 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: reporting on the bad info they got. But you would 113 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: think that somebody somewhere along the lines, from WFN, from ESPN, 114 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: from anywhere would do any sort of actual reporting research. 115 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: Journalists obligation to make sure you get the right story 116 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: and not just spread blatant lies. 117 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 4: At ARNTRO, you know, Wan Soto just had a brutal 118 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 4: three days. You know, he could smile all he wants, 119 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: He can take his helmet off and acknowledge the booze 120 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 4: all he wants. On Friday night at the end of 121 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 4: the day, you know, it was a bad weekend for him. 122 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: So now he and his family can get on the 123 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 4: private jet and go up to Boston. That was interesting 124 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: that Carl Ravach said that part of it yesterday. 125 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 5: Yes I did, and I also heard Carl Ravage talk 126 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 5: about you know, Juan Soto vehemently trying to back out 127 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 5: of being miked up that he was begging to get 128 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 5: the microphone off of him. 129 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 4: Remember when the Yankees were saying, you know, we're not 130 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: going to give one Soto a sweet because we don't 131 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 4: give our perner who knew that Wan Soto was getting 132 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 4: a private jet on top of all of this to 133 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 4: away games. The point being is that if Wan Soto 134 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 4: is putting up huge numbers, if Won Sota's coming. 135 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 5: Through, nobody cares. 136 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 4: Nobody really cares about that. But then all of a 137 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: sudden that when that doesn't happen, and then somebody else 138 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 4: is coming for a contract extent, and the Mets treat 139 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 4: that guy like crapped compared to what that guy thinks 140 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: that Juan Soto has. That's where this gives them, gives 141 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 4: them spot happens, right, Yeah, No, I mean I almost 142 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 4: fell off my chair. That's not when I heard Rabbit 143 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 4: say that, because I knew that he got in a suite. 144 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 4: I had no idea that he had gotten a private 145 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 4: jet charter. 146 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 3: And then it took all the way up until about 147 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: four o'clock in the afternoon for Jeff Passing to tweet, 148 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: which is crazy that Jeff Passon, who's the absolute most trusted, 149 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: most reliable, and most worthwhile baseball journalist that's around right now, 150 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 3: has to be the one that says to clear up 151 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: with Others have asserted that Wan Solo does not fly 152 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: separately from his Mets teammates on a private jet. He 153 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 3: flies on the team plane. There is no private jet 154 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: provision in his contract for him or his family. Ridiculous 155 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 3: that for some reason he had to have said that. 156 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: But also the problem is that Boomer and JeOS show 157 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: happens early in the morning, Jeff Passing tweetels four in 158 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 3: the afternoon. There was about six hours intermitting there between 159 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 3: that report going viral, getting a half a million impressions 160 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: on Twitter, for this thing to all spiral out of control. 161 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 3: And then two other things happened in between this process. 162 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: One Michael Kay started to run his mouth. Michael Kay 163 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: won his afternoon radio show, and as Michael Kay has 164 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: done since, the second one, so decided he wanted to 165 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: become a Met's winding was bitch was complaining because again 166 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: that's all he's done. 167 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 1: He talks, is on that radio show, he does games, 168 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: and he's silent for the Yankees. But now they get 169 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: to talk about Wan Sodo not being on the Yankees. 170 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: He's like fucking erotic about it. He can't wait to 171 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: talk about it. 172 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: And we medium marveled Michael Kay back when this happened, 173 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: because he went into this whole diatribe when Jeff Passon 174 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: was on his show, because again Michael Kay is also 175 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: an ESPN employee, talking about how it's Juan Solo did this. 176 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: You know, he was about all obsessed about everything with 177 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 3: the money obsessed. It was all about the money, the money, 178 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: the money. That was all Michael Kay was about. And 179 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: Jeff Passed had to be like, well, there's only four 180 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: million dollars AV difference per year. That is money, but 181 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: that's not a significant amount money where you're can sitting 182 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 3: differentce between forty seven and fifty one, he was talking 183 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: a lot about the treatment of the family, that story 184 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: that went around during the winter. So then today Michael 185 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: Kay full oneint eighty he says, to that quote, people 186 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: in the know say that Wan Soda wanted to be 187 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: a Yankee. He chose the Yankees, but his family wanted 188 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: to be a Met, so he chose the Mets. 189 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: And I'll say it right now, and it will be denied, 190 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 6: and of course it has to be denied. But I've 191 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 6: talked to people that I respect. He wanted to return 192 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 6: to the Yankees. That was his preference. His family said, 193 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 6: you're going to the Mets. His family felt very comfortable 194 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 6: around Alex and Steve Cohen, and they said, you're going 195 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 6: to the Mets. And he is a guy who listens 196 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 6: to his family. 197 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: Which is the opposite of what Michael Kay was saying 198 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: that people in the know were saying when the contract 199 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 3: was signed a few months ago. So it's amazing how 200 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: quickly he got Michael Kay can change his tone around 201 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: something like this. 202 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's impressive. 203 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: He used to be a legitimate journalist like that was 204 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: Michael Kay's big thing. And I don't know what he 205 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: did because it was before our time and I didn't read. 206 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 2: The newspaper when I was younger. 207 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: That I'm not Mike Francessa who said it would throw 208 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: away the comics and only read the sports articles in 209 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: the newspaper. 210 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: But like, how can. 211 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: You just put out these things without any substantiated evidence. 212 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: Him and boy Bob Clappish AJ dot Com just being 213 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: like vibes.

That is how he started 268 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 3: this article. I don't claim to be an expert in 269 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: human behavior, but sometimes all you need is a halfway 270 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 3: decent radar to know when someone is unhappy. That's what 271 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: I'm seeing and sensing in Met's right fielder want so 272 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 3: though after his lost weekend in the Bronx, the man 273 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: is downright miserable. I understand if you were to watch 274 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 3: one so Tho only this weekend, for the whole season, 275 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 3: possibly besides last season, if you're a Yankee fan writer 276 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 3: for the only time in his career, and be like, wow, 277 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: he looks like he's not having that good of a time. 278 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 3: I didn't hear any of these quotes a couple weeks ago, 279 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 3: when Strong mart Sates hits walk off single and he's 280 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 3: jumping around with him the outfield. I don't hear any 281 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 3: of these quotes two weeks ago now where one Solo 282 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 3: looks like he's just having the time of his life 283 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: in the bullpenll Max Kranck and Ryan Stantik. None of 284 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: these quotes were happening then, but because he had three 285 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 3: consecutive bad games on the International, one of them. 286 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: Wasn't even that bad. He walked three times. 287 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 3: Its true, but just again the vibes that series were bad. 288 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: We talked about that a lot in the big series 289 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: recap episode that came out yesterday, But it was it 290 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: was the tone of this article that got so judgmental 291 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 3: and so I'm like, I'm an expert in the human condition. 292 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: So quickly from Clappish where he called him naive for 293 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 3: tipping his hat on Friday, which was just kind of 294 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 3: objectively a funny move and something that was like good showmanship. 295 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: From so though, Yeah, no, I thought that was like 296 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: a funny little like I thought it was a funny 297 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: tip of the cap, back almost to the Yankees, like 298 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: hey you booed me. I'm not here's my acknowledgment that 299 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: you gave me the boo like I'm tipping the cap 300 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: like kind of being like, hey, you got me. You 301 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: booed me like you came out and you hate me. 302 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: That's fine. The first line that you read it sounds 303 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: like how Nathan Fielder would start an episode like that. 304 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: Sounds like his opening dialogue would be like, I don't 305 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: claim to be an expert in human behavior, but sometimes 306 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: all you need is a halfway decent radar to know 307 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: when someone's unhappy. 308 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: And that's a satirical shit. 309 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: Oh, this was a legitimate article written by someone who 310 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: claims to be a legitimate journalist. 311 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 3: It's crazy, not just claim. Bob Clappish has been around 312 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 3: both the Mets and the Yankees for I know, I know, 313 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: forty something years, and he wrote a book he wrote 314 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: He's written tons of books, but he wrote the original 315 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 3: book about the Mets, The Worst Team Money could Buy, 316 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 3: about the nineteen ninety two season with Saberhigen shooting the 317 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 3: bleach out of the water gun. The reporters like that 318 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: was a big fiasco. But Clappish is a Yankee guy. 319 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: But he has covered the Mets for a long time. 320 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: So his long standing connection with the Mets all the 321 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: way back to the eighties does tell us that they 322 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 3: probably is someone in the building that he has, But 323 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 3: that's also telling us that since he hasn't worked with 324 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 3: the Mets that closely for many years now, that source 325 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: has to be someone who's very old. It might not 326 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 3: be in the know as well, might not be someone's 327 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: getting also the best information. But to go out more 328 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 3: about what clapsh was saying, because now he goes into 329 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: about Juan Solo and the ESPN stuff, stuff that has 330 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: been alluded to a lot, alluse to my Michael Kay 331 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 3: Boomer and giocar Ravish, this and that. But then he 332 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 3: said that Solo changed his mind. Minutes before the game, 333 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 3: Solo told Mets officials again, we're hearing the line Mets officials, 334 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 3: he was tired of answering questions about Aaron Judge and 335 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 3: sick of explaining why he chose the Mets. And then 336 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: Clapish the sc well, first of all, of fucking course, yeah, 337 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 3: that's fair. 338 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: Like these I saw I don't know who was talking 339 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: about on Twitter. I wish I book market, so hand 340 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: up bad on my part there. But someone was like, 341 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: all these ESPN player interviews are always softballs. 342 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: How are you doing? What's going on? This is not 343 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: a softball. 344 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 3: And then Clappish goes on again to just wrap himself 345 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 3: in a pretzel in a second, to undo whatever he's 346 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: done this article. Most players jump at the chance for 347 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: the easy Q and A. They're designed to make you 348 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: look good. The fact that so though blew off the 349 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 3: network was the first sign of his darkening state of mind. 350 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: Explain to me how him answering why he chose the 351 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: Mets and what he thinks about Aaron Judge and stuff? 352 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: How is that? How is he excited to talk about that? 353 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: You're not even talking about him. You're like, hey, let's 354 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: talk about the seven hundred million dollars contract, not how 355 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: how does it feel to be the highest paid athlete 356 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: in the history of the world. Let's talk about why 357 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: you chose the Mets over the Yankees two months after 358 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: the season has started. Now, and let's talk about your 359 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: old teammate who you don't want to talk about anymore. 360 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: You're on the Mets, he's here. Why would he want 361 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: to be subject to those questions? It would have been 362 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: super funny, like you said, Sean Meek, Phil if you 363 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: just started answering in Spanish when they ask him those 364 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: stupid questions. 365 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 3: Cherry the buster only quote again, that are the five 366 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 3: hundred characters on Sunday in that baseball we've got Mets 367 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 3: and Yankees. Why so the wearing the mic well asking 368 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: about Aaron Judge's season, Parlias Sports Judges respace for a 369 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: hundred times this season, this and that and the other thing. 370 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: How in the world, where are you promoting an interview? 371 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: Why adn't they just interview Aaron Judge? 372 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? 373 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: Why not be like a Aaron You're playing unbelievable? How 374 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: does it feel does Why does anyone care what wants 375 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: or his opinion is on Aaron Judge's season right now? 376 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: That doesn't matter. 377 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: Why can't you ask want so they'd be like, hey, 378 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 3: you've gone viral for a few clips. Off you hanging 379 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 3: out in the bullpen? What's going on in there? Charlie 380 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: Marte has been a member of the team this year, 381 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: the huge walk off hit against the Phillies a few 382 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 3: weeks ago. What was that moment like for you? 383 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: A Subway series on the other side, that could have 384 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: been the easy question to kind of bait out that 385 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: answer of Mets Yankees, what's it been like being on 386 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: this team this year for the first time with Clay 387 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: Holmes the guy your teammates with last year, both crossing 388 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: over the borough lines in the same season. 389 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 3: Both of you guys having objectively fine seasons. At this 390 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 3: point in time, z Wan So is still having objectively 391 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: fine season. People are talking about how bad he's been. 392 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 3: Do you guys remember for ciscol and Door in twenty 393 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: twenty one? Do you guys remember his five hundred oh 394 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: ps and June? Does anybody have any memory of this 395 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 3: shit happening? I feel like every single time a baseball 396 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 3: season ends, every single baseball fan goes into a hyperbaric 397 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 3: chamber and comes out with amnesia, like no baseball season 398 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 3: has ever existed before. But there is a multitude of 399 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 3: questions that ESPN would have been really nice to ask 400 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 3: so though. That would have been much more pertinent, much 401 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 3: more timely, and much more interesting than ask Wan Sola. 402 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: But they're in judge. But it was like, that's what 403 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 3: I was. 404 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 2: Why didn't they ask Brandon Nimmo about it? 405 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, do you want Do you want to come 406 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 3: on my podcast, my baseball podcast talk about your baseball career? 407 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? Sure, yeah, let's do it. 408 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 3: Also, what about could actual about your ex girlfriend? 409 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? No, that's that's a lot of fun. Yeah, let's say, 410 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: let me get really personal. 411 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: It didn't make any sense there going on. They could 412 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: again Clappish has to get all you know, big Jay journalists, 413 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: his darkening state of minds. Then Bob Klappish goes on 414 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 3: to say, it looks like so though has put on 415 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 3: a few pounds in the middle. 416 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: Doesn't look like it at all. It looks exactly what 417 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: he's talking about. You Bob Clappish are saying that Wan 418 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: Solo is fat. And again, but now we're gonna realize 419 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: why Bob Clappish went on this diet of track, Why 420 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: Bob Clapish was so upset. This is a this is 421 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: a telling sign of the big j journalist. And I 422 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: understand it a little bit from their perspective because there 423 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: is something that makes much hard of them to do 424 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: their jobs. But now he mentions the fact that Juan 425 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: Solo left the stadium on Sunday night without talking to reporters. 426 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 3: Again. He mentioned he told the Mets team official that 427 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 3: he was going to go outside say hello to his family, 428 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 3: and they come back and just media availability and he 429 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,239 Speaker 3: never came back again. The third time. Now between these 430 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 3: two sources, we've heard the term Mets official. And if 431 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 3: it's a Mets official that was talking about someone's media availability, 432 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 3: again like there's not it's this isn't someone that's involved 433 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 3: in the heavy baseball stuff. This is media stuff. That's 434 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 3: that's who this person is. Whatever the speculation, but this 435 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 3: is the whole reason, is the crux of why Clappish 436 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 3: wrote any of these things, because he's pissed off because 437 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 3: he wanted to write an article talking to one solo, 438 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: because I'm sure he had some conversation with him last ye. 439 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 3: You could ask a few questions, get a few quotes, 440 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 3: have a good article, quote from want so though he 441 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 3: doesn't do this, this drives him and all reports up 442 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 3: a wall. And then here's the line. This is when 443 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: it gets good. Just as wan Soa turns his back 444 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 3: on ESPN, he did the same reporters who are wiiting 445 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: to speak with him postgame in the clubhouse so they'll 446 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 3: got dressed and began walking towards the door. He told 447 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: the Mets official he'd be back to answer questions after 448 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 3: seeing member family members outside. He never returns. 449 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: It's just like the sense of entitlement is insane. And 450 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: this is part of the reason why we've started media 451 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: marvels in the first place. 452 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 2: Was that one? 453 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, in this podcast one there's insanely bad journalism going 454 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: on at times where it's just like the stupidest articles, 455 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: the dumbest quotes. I mean, we do it to Mets people. 456 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: So this isn't just a Mets Yankee thing. Well, media 457 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: marvel anybody. We've media marveled ourselves on this podcast multiple times, 458 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: so we will. We'll go after anybody that says something stupid. 459 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: But the sense of entitlement that these guys have, I'll 460 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: tell you this, Like I think, from a Vibes perspective, 461 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: I definitely don't love the idea of want so just 462 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: leaving like that, I think there is something a little 463 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: bit weird there. But for them to be like so 464 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: sour grapes because they couldn't get the quote that they 465 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: were trying to set Wan Soto up for, because Mike 466 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: Puma kind of opened the door with this a couple 467 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: of weeks ago when he got the quote. 468 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 2: It ties back to that a lot. 469 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: Everyone's like, this fucking Mike Puma guy gets this quote, 470 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: How the hell does he get it? 471 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 2: That could have been mine? 472 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: Everybody wants theirs now and we know that Wan Soda 473 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: will talk candidly if you can convince him that it's 474 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: a baseball conversation. 475 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 3: Yes, And again this probably ties back to so they'll 476 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 3: being like, okay, I you know, fom me one, shame 477 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: on me for me twice. You won't get fulled again 478 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 3: because then now Clappish has to tie this whole thing together, 479 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: and he's gonna end this in the most dramatic, hyperbolic 480 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 3: way he. 481 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: Could possibly imaginematic. 482 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 3: These are troubling signs for the Mets hierarchy. I'm told 483 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: they're concerned about Sodo's lack of enthusiasm for his new team. Again, 484 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 3: who's who's telling sis, Who's telling him this? That's the 485 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 3: other thing, because there's nowt there. There is now a rat. 486 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 3: Allegedly there's a rat somewhere somewhere in the line. There 487 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 3: is a rat right now, here's a that's official, who's 488 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 3: a rat. The only time so Tho seemed happy this 489 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 3: weekend was while he interacted with Judge manager Aaron Boone 490 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 3: as I said them no mind either, again, doubling down 491 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 3: the fact that he has no idea what he's talking about. 492 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 3: But my hunch is that not only to Sodo miss 493 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 3: the Yankees, but the permanence of his decision is sinking in. 494 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: So though, is staring at another fourteen plus years in Flushing. 495 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: Now, just for some context about the permanence that is 496 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: setting in for Wuan Soto and the sinking feeling he 497 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: has for his decision settling in. Just to keep in mind, 498 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: the Mets are currently twenty nine to nineteen. The Yankees 499 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: are twenty seven to nineteen, both some of the best 500 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: teams in Major League Baseball. Wan Sota is getting paid 501 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty million dollars fifty million dollars a year. 502 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: I don't think there is any sort of grief setting 503 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: in of Wuan Soto of oh No, I made a mistake, 504 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: signing the biggest contract ever and living in the exact 505 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: same city I was playing in last year. We're acting 506 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: like Wansto moved to fucking Tuscaloose, Alabama or something like that. 507 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 2: He lives in New York. There's no change. 508 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 3: And the big part of this is what we alluded 509 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 3: to in the episode last night, is that I I 510 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: fully agree that with sour grapes of Wan so Though 511 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 3: to leave the stadium and I'll talk to reports I 512 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 3: don't really blame him for skipping the ESPN thing. When 513 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 3: Busterer only was promoting the fact that he was only 514 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 3: going to talking about Aaron Judge, I'd be like, why, dude, 515 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 3: what are you talking about? But then it does come 516 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 3: back to what we were alluding to that Wan Solo 517 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 3: knows he's not playing up to his own standards. It's 518 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 3: painfully obvious. I don't think anybody on Earth is more 519 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: aware of it than him, despite with every single Mets 520 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 3: Yankee fan, journalists on Earth want you to believe that 521 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 3: they're the ones who are the most aware of it. 522 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 3: No one cares right now more about wansoa struggles than 523 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 3: Wan so Tho. The guy is competitive as fuck. He's 524 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: one of the best players of all time, and there's 525 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 3: a lot of pressure from the live up to this 526 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 3: massive contract, and he intends to live up to it. 527 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 3: Nothing there has changed. It's been seven weeks of baseball. 528 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: People are like, I can't believe this is happening. Oh 529 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 3: my god, he's so unhappy again. These are Mets fans 530 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 3: that have not been cut from the same cloth. These 531 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: are Mets fans that do not remember two thousand and 532 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 3: five Carlospeltron. They don't remember first half twenty twenty two, 533 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor remember that, remember that when we were year 534 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 3: and a half into this shit and people were still 535 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 3: saying these things. These are people that do not remember 536 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 3: Cesspice in the wild boar. These people don't think this 537 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: is so much shit has happened with this team for 538 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 3: this to be this much for the story right now, 539 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 3: it just shows that what the Mets being good does 540 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 3: to these journalists and what does to big media, and 541 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 3: how much they have to struggle for their clicks when 542 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 3: this team is actually good, competitive and playing good baseball. 543 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: Know that's week and a half to not been playing 544 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 3: good baseball bad baseball, but objectively on the season it's 545 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: good baseball, and baseball to continues to look like it is, 546 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 3: it will sustain being relatively good. 547 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 7: I just want to say, before Arena Club, if you 548 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 7: were trying to very actively buy sell trade, it was 549 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 7: very complicated and used a lot of mail that was unnecessary. 550 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: I don't know I even know how to do it, 551 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: But I'm glad we have Arena Club now because it's 552 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: a one stop shop for everything card related. 553 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 7: It is and right now you can get twenty percent 554 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 7: off your first slab pack or your first card purchase 555 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 7: by going to Arena club dot com slash foul, use 556 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 7: code foul. If you're a collector, you've got to check 557 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 7: out Arena Club go get after it. 558 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a difference between being like, hey, 559 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: the Mets are playing poorly, Wansta's having bad at bats, 560 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: versus being like, Wan Soto stinks. This guy's done, he 561 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be here, the Mets have a problem, 562 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: and Wan Soto hates being a Met. Like those those 563 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: two things couldn't be more polar opposites, and yet somehow 564 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: they're being misconstrued as the exact same thing. 565 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 3: Especially when people like Bob Klappish are suddenly becoming like 566 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 3: body language experts yes and trying to be like I'm 567 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 3: literally saying. 568 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: One thing I. 569 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: Will say about these journalists are they're usually so sociable 570 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: and really really good at social interactions with other humans. 571 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: So they're always like just the most sociable people. You 572 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: love the conversations you have with them. They're never looking 573 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: down at their feet and talking. They're always pumped to 574 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: be in front of the camera. So I'm sure, Yeah, 575 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: Bob Clappish probably has years and years of experience of 576 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: knowing exactly when people are happy or not based on 577 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: body language. 578 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 3: Yes, why range of socialize even though you spent the 579 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 3: last four, like you know, forty years around baseball every 580 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: single day, working nights, working weekends, working summers, all that stuff, 581 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 3: very very wide ranging socialized. It does get to the 582 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 3: game on Monday night in Boston, and there's another moment 583 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 3: in this game, so of course has to become news 584 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: because now it's gonna happen every single day until something 585 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 3: else changes here where. Wan Solo hits a ball high 586 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: off the Green Monster in Bolston Fenway Park. I was 587 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 3: at the game. I was watching it. I never thought 588 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,239 Speaker 3: for a second this ball was gone off the bat. 589 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 2: I really never day. 590 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 3: It looked like it was a kind of a LOOPI 591 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: fly ball. I was like, that's clanking off the monster. 592 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 3: But I also said off the bat eye, he's never 593 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: getting too on that. The problem was that he stared 594 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 3: at the ball for about three seconds, walked out of 595 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 3: the battist box, got to first base, made a hard 596 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 3: turn and stayed there. And then garyan Keith were talking 597 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: about it hilariously. Want so stole second base immediately the 598 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 3: first pitch of the bat against Pete Alonzo. Afterwards he's 599 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 3: on second base anyway. But then there's a quote after 600 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 3: the game also Brandon McGrann's who double players. That's all 601 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 3: the Mets did on Monday night was grinded double places. 602 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 3: Ever they got guys on. No one got a big hit. 603 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: I don't think there was a single hit with risp 604 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 3: in this game. Actually maybe won exactly, but that was it. 605 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 3: After the game, Carls Mendoza goes, yeah, you know, like 606 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 3: I thought, so had a pretty good game, Like that 607 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 3: was a good shot. Skye's hard to get the ball 608 00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: over that green wall. These guys aren't used to that. 609 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 3: I'm just talking about getting out of the box. That 610 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 3: was the time you should have got out of the box. 611 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 3: So though, goes, I feel like I've been hustling, which 612 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 3: is kind of funny because Sunday night he definitely didn't 613 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 3: hustle again, and then there were some ground balls in 614 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 3: this game that he definitely hustled. But that's why he 615 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 3: definitely did not hustle, and it was apparent. 616 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I really would have wished that he would have said, like, hey, 617 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: hand up, messed up there. Should have been busting out 618 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: of the box. I think that was the really, really, 619 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: really easy way to handle this. 620 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 2: It would have been a non story. 621 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: And I guess Mets PR didn't get their hands on 622 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: that one, so shocking they you know, we're so tight 623 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: about the mess Up podcast, but it's not about us. 624 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: I wish he would have answered that better. He didn't hustle. 625 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: He knows he didn't hustle. Wish he would have answered 626 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: it better. But also at the same time, I don't 627 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: know non story truthfully at the end of the day 628 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: him saying that, And it just. 629 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 3: Sucks that two nights in a row and the Mets 630 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 3: are desperately struggling for a lead and for base runners. 631 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: And I do think Carlos Mendez is going to talk 632 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: to him, and I do think it's going to be 633 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: a really easy conversation. And that's one of the major 634 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: major pluses to have in Carlos mind, as well as 635 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: cross winds as being a Spanish speaking manager. They can 636 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: just straight up say what they need to and it's 637 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: gonna be no problem whatsoever. 638 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 3: And there it's funny too, because when you look at 639 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 3: these things, there are three quotes from one, so they 640 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 3: have been posted by S and Y after the game. 641 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 3: One has twenty nine thousand impressions, one has five hundred 642 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 3: thousand impressions, and one is twenty six thousand impressions. 643 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: Let me guess which one has five hundred thousand. Give 644 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: me a guess the negative one. 645 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: You're right, because. 646 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: Then someone asks one or so other about the team 647 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: being able to like a come through in the clutch. 648 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: He says, we gotta capitalize as a team. We gotta 649 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 3: go out there and get those guys in. We do 650 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 3: a pretty good job of getting guys in. At the 651 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 3: end of the day, we have to come through more. 652 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 3: Very fine quote twenty six thousand. Then you get another one. 653 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: We're gonna have our ups and downs. We just have 654 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 3: to keep our chins up and keep moving forward. It's 655 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 3: a game of failure. Sometimes you're gonna fail. You have 656 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 3: to keep moving forward. It doesn't matter what another fine 657 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 3: quote about a baseball team that you know just been 658 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 3: five hundred over the last two plus weeks of baseball. 659 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 3: But for some reason, one quote that goes against what 660 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 3: his manager said is the whole thing. And I do 661 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: not doubt that there probably are some still some slightly 662 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 3: weird chemistry things as Mets clubhouse has to figure out, 663 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 3: and part of that comes from some guy coming in 664 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: there who is the highest paid athlete in the history 665 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 3: of sports, and that he's the guy who's making i 666 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 3: don't know, almost twice as much per season, the guy 667 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,479 Speaker 3: who's like absolutely considered the leader of the team, like 668 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 3: with the Francisco Inndoora. I still think there probably has 669 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 3: to be a moment of coalescence, but I don't really 670 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 3: think it's as even remotely close to as serious as 671 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: anybody else wants this to be Right now. 672 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: On the BA Baseball media, I think the only thing 673 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: I'll push on is that Soto does look unhappy, But 674 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: I think it has nothing to do with him being 675 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: in New York met or the contract that he signed. 676 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: I think it has to do yeah, totally with his play. 677 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: He is not playing up to his standards. That's why 678 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: he's unhappy. Imagine if you were doing your job and 679 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: you're doing it poorly and everyone's like, hey, not playing 680 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: that well, you'd be like, yeah, fuck, this sucks. 681 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: I hate this. 682 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: I want to play well, like the unhappy stuff, and 683 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: then automatically tying it to it's because of being with 684 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: the Mets is so insane, and again it feels like 685 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: it's the sleeper sales, it's the idiots on Twitter, it's 686 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: the Yankee fans. I feel like we haven't seen any 687 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: real Mets people actually say this stuff yet, which is 688 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: an encouraging sign for me. 689 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 3: Yes, and we again, if anything does come out about 690 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 3: this stuff from real Mets people, then we will be here. 691 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 3: We haven't even heard the guy like Martino try to 692 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 3: stir the pot with me. These are this is the 693 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 3: bottom of the bottle right now, between Clappish and Kay 694 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 3: using whatever teen tity and little met source they have. 695 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 3: Whatever rat is in the buildings, that's something that does 696 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 3: have to be figured out sooner rather than later, because 697 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 3: there is a rat. 698 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 2: There's at Jose Alvarado. 699 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 3: There's a rat, and there has to be someone that 700 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 3: is in some way upset with Wan Solo. And again 701 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 3: some of that frustration could be the way he's handled 702 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 3: himself around the media on Sunday, making someone's job harder 703 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 3: because he was not handling the media. Will one ignoring 704 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 3: media and two ignoring media again, So again that's kind 705 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 3: of where it's at right now, while also being someone's 706 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 3: probably been the building a long time, because that's some 707 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: of that clapish to have a connection with. And then 708 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 3: I don't know what's going to happen with the story. 709 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 3: I really hope nothing happens with this story. I would 710 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 3: love for anything. Sure, yeah, I think if he just 711 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 3: hits a home run tomorrow, probably Okay, if that's just 712 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 3: win a game they're facing Walker Bueler off the IL, 713 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 3: I hope they crush them. But it's just it seems 714 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 3: like that there's a lot of these little teeny tiny 715 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 3: things happening, and everything's just being exasperated by the fact 716 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 3: that the Mets are just not playing as well now 717 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: than they we're in April when all these stories existed. 718 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 3: It's the that's one one more game against the Yankees 719 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 3: this weekend. None of this would have been said. That's 720 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 3: kind of where it's at. That's how baseball works. 721 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: And again, like we both think that Wan Soto can 722 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: play better, we've seen him play better, we know he can. 723 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: But objectively speaking, the stuff like behind the scenes and 724 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 1: under the hood, it's all pretty much the same as 725 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: last year. He's just getting a little bit unlucky at times. 726 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: He's got like a his expected slug right now is 727 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: five ninety seven. That's like one hundred and sixty points 728 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: lower than where it's at right now. Is expecting batting 729 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: average is about sixty three points lower than what it 730 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: currently is. The stuff is going to turn around. He's 731 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: still hitting the ball exceptionally hard. He's still not chasing, 732 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: he's still getting on base, he's still barreling up the 733 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: baseball at elite rates. 734 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: It's going to turn around. 735 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: The rolling ex wobagraph on baseball Savann is super high. 736 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: It's going up and up and up and up since 737 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: the start of the season. I don't have fears of 738 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: mom sort of moving forward. I just hope that this 739 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: nonsense with the media. I hope somebody can just shut 740 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: this shit up because it's it really is ridiculous. 741 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 3: There's also something else funny about the Mets, because the 742 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 3: big story right now is going on. That's probably how 743 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 3: we'll end this is the fact that it's a risk 744 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 3: problem with the mess right now. So they're not coming 745 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 3: through runs of scoring position. It's happening time after time, 746 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 3: game after game. People are like, how can this keep happening? 747 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 3: This is disaster. Something has to change. Well, first thing, 748 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 3: the players aren't going to change. I don't know what's 749 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 3: going to change, and also some people like we'll leak 750 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 3: approach has to change. But as of right now, in 751 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: terms of runs the scoring position, the Mets might have 752 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 3: one of the best approaches in baseball because their strikeout 753 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 3: rate is the is the fourth lowest the entire league 754 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: at eighteen point four percent, their walk rate is the 755 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 3: sixth highest in the league at twelve percent, and their 756 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 3: batting average on balls in play is the second worst 757 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 3: in the league at two thirty nine. That is kind 758 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 3: of the whole thing right now, we're putting the ball 759 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: in play, they're not finding gloves, and some of these 760 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 3: balls aren't that well hit. I will concede that at 761 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 3: one hundred percent, give you that, But it's mostly a 762 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: situation right now where we're doing things that are okay, good, 763 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 3: not great. But the way that baseball always works is 764 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 3: that water fights his level. And I will absolutely harp 765 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: on that. Go through that because again, also the last 766 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 3: one right here heart hit rate. Rogs' scoring position. The 767 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 3: Mets are tenth ahead of the Chicago Cups, who considered 768 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 3: one of the best offenses in baseball. 769 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, one thing I will say that is men Mendoza 770 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: did mention how he feels like recently with runners of 771 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: scoring position, the Mets have been a little bit too passive. 772 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 2: He wants to see him be a little more aggressive, 773 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 2: which I. 774 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 3: Thought with runs of the scoring position twice one time 775 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 3: Brandon Nemo popped up. One time he hit to all 776 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: playing the first pitch of the that beat. Okay, so 777 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 3: we agay, there's no magic formula for this shit. It's 778 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 3: baseball's boy. He got one hundred of these games left, 779 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 3: so many, so many can't we can't live and die 780 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 3: in every single one. It's just this. At this time 781 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 3: last year, hoy Lopez I think still hadn't thrown his 782 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: club into the stands yet. 783 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, this time last year, and 784 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: Judge had no ps at seven forty three. Remember that 785 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: in seven to twenty five. I'm shocked the reporters weren't 786 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: asking if Aaron Judge regretted signing his big contract with 787 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: the Yankees. 788 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 2: At the time. 789 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: Was the regret sinking in when he was struggling. I'm 790 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: not sure they didn't ask him. 791 00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 3: I mean, we had the classic Washington Post article. We 792 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 3: shut that for what two years straight? When the guy 793 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 3: was like Franciscolndor is not the player he once was 794 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 3: or the player the Mets expect him to be. Oh wait, 795 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 3: maybe not actually on the Hall of Fame track. This 796 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 3: is just how it works this time of the year, 797 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 3: when these small sample sizes, it's just people don't people 798 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 3: don't really know ball. That's why he goes come back 799 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: to the Messed Up podcast. 800 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: And until Jeff passing Ken Rosenthal shout out Ken foul territory, 801 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: until any of the big names actually start talking about 802 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: this stuff legitimately, it quite literally, you shouldn't care. 803 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 2: You shouldn't care. 804 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: We just simply had to do this episode because we 805 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: want to get some views in the top right now. 806 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 3: And we know that some of you guys are probably 807 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 3: kind of nervous reading all these things.
