1
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: What is up?

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Metstup Podcast.

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: Apologies if we're a little down. We just got our

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: hearts ripped out watching the next game, and honestly, that,

5
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: along with the lackluster series by the Mets, it just

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: feels insane. But this episode's a banger. Big reason why.

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: Michael k responded, he went on a full ten minute

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: rant on his radio show about the video that me

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: and James released on this podcast just a few days ago.

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: So we're gonna talk about that at the end. We're

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: gonna talk about the Mets Red Sox series first and foremost,

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: and then we will address Michael Kay's ten minute rant

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: about a couple fleas nicknamed the Mets Stub podcast. All right, guys,

Speaker 2: seeing the death in your eyes, how do you feel?

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: No, I just got a hearts ripped out like that

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: was a playoff loss that's barely been match sery seed

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: in my entire sports watching life, which has been my

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: entire life. I just I simply can't even put it

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: towards watching the Mets the next blow of that game.

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: But it doesn't matter. This is not mixed up. This

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: is Mets Stuff. This is the Mets Stuff podcast, right

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: to talk about what was a pretty horrible series in

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: Boston by the Mets, cold time at Famway Park.

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: I was at Game one.

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: The Mets luckily pulled out the finale of this series

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: in Game three with a really good, tough, hard fought

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: team victory, But the first two games of this series

38
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: it was I think wrongfully, but it did feel like

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: for a lot of Mets fans like this guy was

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: falling down for just a little bit there.

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, in case you missed our episode about all the

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: Soto nonsense that was coming out again, where we talked

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: about the false rumor and spreading of lies that people

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: in the media have been doing recently. The big narrative

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: thing from game one was again the Mets pitched well,

46
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: they didn't score any runs, and Jan Soto hit a

47
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: ball off the Green Monster, to which he did not hustle.

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: That was the big thing that came out of Game one.

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: You were there, you felt like that ball was never

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: going out for a second. A lot of people have

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: said different things. It's just SODA's going through such a

52
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: weird time right now, and it's so obvious that he

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: is not only uncomfortable at the plate, he is thinking

54
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: way too hard. There feels to be a lot of

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: pressure and shout out to the people who are doing

56
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: the media correctly. Pedro Martinez came out and said a

57
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: bunch of positive things, which we'll talk about here in

58
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: a second. People at John Boy, like Chris Rose and

59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: Trevor Pluff on their show where like this feels which hunty,

60
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: all the stuff that's going on with Jan Soda right now.

61
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: I wish the noise would stop. I wish the noise

62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: would quiet. But this is what happens when you have

63
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: a seven hundred million dollar player, when he's one of

64
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: the best players in baseball, he's not playing up to it,

65
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: and this series in particular was a bit of a

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: struggle for soda.

67
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

68
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: Along with those names you just mentioned, also shoutout Manny

69
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: Gomez from NJ dot Com, who was really helpful to

70
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: the Mets community last year because he was the one

71
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: that cleared up the Jorge Lopez drama after the some

72
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: SNY people ran with the quote that never happened.

73
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm the I played in the worst team in the league.

74
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: He was.

75
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: He chastised everyone reporting the fact that who know the one?

76
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: So the private plane rumors made up, But that solo

77
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: ball on Monday, I was sitting. I was in the

78
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: grand stand section of Fenway Park, so it was kind

79
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: of like their mezzanine. But really everything is just flat

80
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: seeding a Famwa Parks. I was behind home plate, but

81
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: like twenty five rows up, so a really good roof

82
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: from behind home played all the fly balls and that

83
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: so the ball off the bat just kind of looked

84
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: like more of a looper than a moonshot, like we

85
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: saw Francisco Lindoor's moonshot that got over the Monster on

86
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: Wednesday night. But that's solo one kind of just always

87
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: looked like it was going to clag off the monster.

88
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 3: But understanding Fenway Park and the Green Monster and Jaron

89
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: duran Is being a very talented left fielder having experienced

90
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: with that monster and the great army he has, basically

91
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: off the bat, I was like, single, single, single. I

92
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: think it was just the bad optics of Solo not

93
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: running out the ball, and then that got exasperated after

94
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: the game, which we talked about in Tuesday's episod, so

95
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: by Carlson Knows Is saying he's going to talk to

96
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: Solo about his hustle, but then Solo being like, I

97
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: feel like I have been hustling, And I think that

98
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 3: also just kind of got piled on by, of course

99
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: the national media because they're running with every single thing

100
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: about Sola right now. Shame on some of these accounts

101
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: out there. They're usually very objective, someone like Pitching Ninja,

102
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: who does some of the best baseball content on Earth,

103
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: just kind of going deep in on this Sodo stuff

104
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: right now. Pitching account just because they know what's going

105
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: to generate clicks and everyone get their bag. We understand

106
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: that you got I mean, you gotta stay relevant somehow,

107
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: just like Michael. Okay, so you gotta talk about want solo

108
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: every single day. But I thought it was a funny

109
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: juxtaposition in that game a Monday, where so though hit

110
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: the ball off the monster so down first base, didn't

111
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: hustle stole second, the next pitch still got to that

112
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: spot because in the first enning of that game, similarly,

113
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 3: Pete Alonzo hit a hot shot off the Green Monster

114
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: did not run out of the box. That one looked

115
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: more gone off the bat. I will say that. But

116
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: then Pete, just being his guy, being the way he

117
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: is pee Alnzo, he busts it once he realizes it

118
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: and gets thrown out by a full step at second base,

119
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: almost slides in, does a little swim move around the tag.

120
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: But it was funny to me that but the way

121
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: the firestorm took place with Sodo not hustling, Pete went

122
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: up completely off the hook for also not hustling.

123
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is also interesting too, because I think this

124
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: is gonna be a hot take for me as his

125
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: Sodo cope. But I'd rather have the not hustle outcome

126
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: be what Soto did, which is single steel second. Then

127
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: Pete's where he got thrown out of a second because

128
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: then he realized, oh shit, I fucked up. Let me

129
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: make up for it, and then now it's just an out.

130
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did the same thing to Alex Bregman. I

131
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: think that was about to Tuesday. There's anther time nest

132
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: year as we threw someone out at second base?

133
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: Am I making that up? Someone gets thrown on a

134
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: second base? There's so many close plays with that Green Monster.

135
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: The Red Sox played extremely well, obviously.

136
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: That's my point, Especially a guy like Jared Durant, who

137
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: was like a borderline capable center field defender anyway, So

138
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: you put them in any left field in Major League Baseball,

139
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: he's a plus defender there.

140
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: You put him in a.

141
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: Very small left field, or he has a lot of

142
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: experience off that wall with a very good arm. It's

143
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: just it's they know what they're doing and the visiting

144
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: teams don't. Not that that's an excuse, but I did

145
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: think that there was some irony in the fact that

146
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: that solo quote about the hustle winds up with almost

147
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: a million impressions and there was not even a mention

148
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: about Pilanza not hustling. That's just that's just kind of

149
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: the attention that we're going to have to get used to,

150
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: both as Mets fans and Juan Solo himself. We are

151
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: under the spotlight, we're under the microscope. We are this

152
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: is it like this is I'm not gonna say like

153
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: we're in the big leagues now, but right now, every

154
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 3: single media outlet, every single person is waiting to jump

155
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: on this, whether it be good or bad. Because it

156
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: was good in April and it's bad now. That's just

157
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: something we have to get used to, the ebbs and

158
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: flows of being a quote unquote the bad guys.

159
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

160
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: One of the new things that I'm seeing run with

161
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: right now with Soto is his lack of hustle out

162
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: of the dugout in between innings. I saw it on

163
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: TikTok where someone was like, Soto is the last guy

164
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: out of the doug guy. I was like, Brett Batty

165
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: made the last out. He beat him out there. For context,

166
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: if you ever played baseball, when you make the last out,

167
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: you go to your position, someone brings you your hat

168
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: and glove. So Brett Baty's always going to beat him

169
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: out there every single time because he doesn't leave the

170
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: field if he makes the last out. Other thing I

171
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: truly could not care less if Juan Soto is the

172
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: last person out on the field. To just stand there

173
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: and wait for the inning to start. Is like, we're

174
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: really starting to grasp at straws here. And shame on

175
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: the person who made that TikTok video because they're a

176
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: Mets fan too. What the fuck are we doing? Why

177
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: are we cannibalizing ourselves? It doesn't make any sense.

178
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: That is that is the shame in all of this,

179
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: because we expect fans of other teams to kind of

180
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: like do this stuff. But again, and it is all

181
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: exasperated by the fact that we're not playing good baseball

182
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: right now. It's been a few series in a row

183
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 3: and the Mets are kind of falling down a little bit.

184
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: They've dropped out the first place. Phillies have caught them.

185
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: The Braves are back over five hundred. All three of

186
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: these teams are going to be in this race until

187
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: the bitter end of the season.

188
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: As they always were.

189
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the reality, that is, and that's kind of

190
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: the most the best party about baseball. The Braves lost

191
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: eight games row start season. We wouldn't even know right

192
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: now becau they're playing tremendous baseball, Like, that's just it

193
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: was never going to be easy. It was also never

194
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: supposed to be easy. You have to scrap, and.

195
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: You got a fight, and you got a claw for

196
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: all of these wins.

197
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: So again, great by the Mets to kind of put

198
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: hopefully put some of this nonsense behind them and win

199
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: a tight game on Wednesday that they really going into it.

200
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: A lot of people felt like they had no business winning.

201
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: But again, that is just baseball too. At the end

202
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: of the day, I know, it's so fun.

203
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: We go up against Garrett Crochet, who's been one of

204
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: the statistically best pitchers in baseball this year, and we

205
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: end up getting a win. Now, granted, I think we

206
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: only scored one run off of him and the rest

207
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: came off the bullpen, but still for the Mets to

208
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: keep it close. Tyler McGill was up for like, ye,

209
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: I mean we got the up text, we answered, he

210
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: didn't answer back. Yeah, we got left on read. He

211
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: fell Aslee, had a few too many drinks and went

212
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: back to sleep. The funniest stat line like ever so

213
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill four and two thirds, four four hits, wonder

214
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: and run, one walk, ten strikeouts. That is almost unfathomable

215
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: to do at the major league level, and also in

216
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill fashion.

217
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 3: The unraveling that happened in the fifth inning, like the

218
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: relative unraveling in air quotes, came from an infield single

219
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 3: that was a ball like a number hit just between

220
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: him and Luise Terrenz that I thought Terrenz probably should

221
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: have jumped forward, but it was hard to see in

222
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: the angle how close the ball actually was to each

223
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: of them, And Tyler spun in throw and just airmeled

224
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: it over a Lonzo's head. Then a walk, a hit

225
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: by pitch, a sacrifice fly, another walk.

226
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: Blindor couldn't turn that double play on the ball up

227
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: the middle like there was. It was spectacular catastrophe again

228
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: where we were like, oh my god, here we go again.

229
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: We can't score runs. McGill's thrown at a gym and he

230
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 2: can't even go five innings. But luckily again Wascott Rozubon

231
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: is a fucking dog. I can't believe how insanely well

232
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: this guy has pitched this year. Two and a third today,

233
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: one hit, four strikeouts, The era is well below one.

234
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: It's he's been one of those statistically best relievers most

235
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: valuable relievers in Major League Baseball this season.

236
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: It's ironic because his role hasn't even been the role

237
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: of a guy who you think would be the best reliever,

238
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: because what Wascott Rozabon's been so far for this team

239
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 3: is the guy that cleans up the messes kind of

240
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: theil he's been. The Daniel has also kind of been

241
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: like the Ree Garrett that was beginning the year, and

242
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: Rigarrett was Nailson. He's kind of more like the fifth

243
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 3: and sixth inning Riegarrett, where Ried Garrett's the seventh and eighth

244
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: inning Rie Garrett, the actual Red Garratt. That's cool, But

245
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: I also want to go back and talk about McGill

246
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: for a second, because it was just kind of amazing

247
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: to watch how dominant he was early and then how

248
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 3: quickly he mentally unraveled, which is really good encapsulation of

249
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: who he is as a pitcher and who we hope

250
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: he kind of is able to grow out of at

251
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: some point, because you see that glimpse. You see he

252
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: comes out of the game and his babies, fastball, fastball,

253
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 3: fastball in the zone, everything we dreamed of. First two winnings,

254
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: he threw thirty pitches twenty one of them were in

255
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: the strike zone. Most of them were fastballs in the

256
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: heart of the zone. The Red Sox were completely powerless against.

257
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: Even with him falling apart by those the end of

258
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 3: the game, it was still thirteen first pitch strikes the

259
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: twenty bat as he faced. The ten strikeouts tie the

260
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: career high. And there's a great note from a friend

261
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: of the podcast Pitching Savon Isaac Groffman, that I've been

262
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: talking to you guys during because the last few starts

263
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: about how one he's had that more depthy slider. We've

264
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: been talking about the thing that people call it death

265
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 3: ball justly that just drops really hard, and he's been

266
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: struggling to control that. In this start, he went back

267
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: to what was his old slider, a Tyler gyro slider,

268
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: one that kind of just moved down a teen tener bit,

269
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: that tiler bite slider. Isaac couldn't tell if that was

270
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: the pitch that he was throwing because one he was

271
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 3: struggling to commands for the other one, or because the

272
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: way it was a cold, brainy, windy night in Famiway Park,

273
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: and that's maybe just the way the wind was affecting

274
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: the pitch. But no matter what, the fact that McGill

275
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: did have the option to go to that ball and

276
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: was able to just freeze through those four innings and

277
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: looked like the best picture on Earth while that was happening,

278
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: confident aggressive. It's just God, I want to bottle that

279
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: and use that for six innings. For some reason, we

280
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: just can't do that consistently. It pisses me off.

281
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 2: No, it would be really nice. I mean, hey, I

282
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 2: think we were texting about this earlier. I cut him

283
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: in my fantasy league because he had had like three

284
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: bat starts in row. Cut him. What did you do

285
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: with Tyler McGill? I know you have him a couple

286
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: of teams.

287
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: I mentioned him every day of the league. I had

288
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: to this during this game, so I knew that would

289
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: end up sparking him, and it kind of sparked him

290
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: a little bit. It did really get lucky. They only

291
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: have the one run in this ledger because the magic

292
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: act by Watscar Brosimo. But just it's always so close

293
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 3: and so far away at the same time. For Tyler

294
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: and McGill, it's really just like, and this is funny.

295
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: I feel like everyone text he literally is that, and

296
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 3: every single mess fan kind of has the same opinion,

297
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: where like everyone I think deep down feel the same

298
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: way about Tyler McGill. Would that makes some people always

299
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: want to believe and some people always want to hate him, Yes,

300
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: but still always the exact same thing. It's just the

301
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: different sides of the same coin, and that's just always

302
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: gonna be the fact that matter here. And we had

303
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: the great rehab starter from Paul Blackburn and Triple A

304
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: W seven innings, so there might be some competition coming soon.

305
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: Maybe the message go right to a six man rotation,

306
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: because there's still a few weeks until Manaia or Mantsas

307
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: are ready. So I think it is going to be

308
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: interesting how we handle now this Southern starting pitching death

309
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: in a way.

310
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean we're at a spot where, of

311
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: course TYLERR McGill's backs pushed up against the wall and

312
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: he starts to pitch a little bit better. So it's

313
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: interest to see there's guys that could, of course always

314
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: use an extra day, could use a skip of start code.

315
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: I senda. I know they don't want to necessarily do

316
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: that with Clay Holmes, but that's still a possibility as well.

317
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: Tyler and mcguil though, right now is still the man

318
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: on the chopping block for when these pitchers that are

319
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: getting paid more money than him and are better than

320
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: him eventually do come back.

321
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: And I can't believe we haven't talked about this guy

322
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: yet because he was such a hero in this game.

323
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: But it's a perfect time right now for the arena

324
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 3: club player spotlight and it has to be Brett Bailey

325
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: for his clutch performance, his amazing defense, becoming the everyday

326
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: third basement. It seems like right in front of our eyes,

327
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: just an all around incredible performance saving the team against

328
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: the Red Sox here on Wednesday.

329
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had not seen many at bats against left

330
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 2: handed pitching this year. He comes up against Garrett Crochet,

331
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: gets a big hit to score the run early on

332
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: with the basis loaded. He didn't have a hit. I

333
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: guess the left headed pitch of this season even more so.

334
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: And he's like Garrett Croche, one of the toughest lefties

335
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: in the game. Let me show you how it's done.

336
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: Hit up the middle, almost two runs, Louis Trends thrown

337
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: out the plate, but you love to see that from

338
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: Brett Bady staying in there. And then of course, he

339
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: got the big hit at the end of the game

340
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: against another lefty, brettan Bernardino, broke the game open down

341
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: the line, scored two runs. This guy is just really

342
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: turning into a really solid player. And I think this

343
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 2: game in particular, like you mentioned earlier, solidifies that Brett

344
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: Baty is the everyday third basement. This is not anti

345
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: Mark Fientos, this is pro Brett Batty at third base.

346
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: Viento's has the DH position locked up for right now.

347
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: There's nobody else who deserves to play it more than him.

348
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: Put him at DH. That's where he's best. Leting focus

349
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: on hitting and Brett Bady with the bat and now

350
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: the glove, which is phenomenal this season. He keeps making

351
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: play after play. He looks so comfortable over there, making

352
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: throws on the run, all nice plays. Those guys have

353
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: to be in a line of every single day in

354
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: that configuration.

355
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 3: It's comfortable and confident in the field. The way he

356
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: comes across the dime and making those bare hand plays

357
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: and a few of them in this series playing the

358
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: backhand using his strong arm, and you could kind of

359
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: just see his pure, unfeathered joy. Like the releasing of

360
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: like both his demons and the team's demons. When he

361
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: got that two run single off of Berndino in the

362
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: seventh inning, just on first base, fist pumping and screaming

363
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: for it felt like thirty consecutive a second star at

364
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: staring at his dugout all the way across the field.

365
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: It was just it was beautiful and the Mets needed

366
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: someone to pop the lid off this offense. It does

367
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: feel like, in a weird, funny way, ironic way, that

368
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: Brett Baty might have actually been the guy that's done

369
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: it after all the shit we given him.

370
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: I feel like if you watch Brett Baty get hits

371
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: off of a left handed pitching, something that he hadn't

372
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: done all year, something that he struggled with in the past,

373
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: you gotta be like, it's maybe not that hard. I

374
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: think we can all do this, Like I think we

375
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: can come to the play. You get big hits, and

376
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: then you saw Lindor got the big hit. Like you mentioned,

377
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: it kind of just lifted this kind of fake weight

378
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: off the Mets shoulders because they've been playing so so

379
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: poorly offensively. But it's great to see Brett Baty do that.

380
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: Swinging the bat well especially against the lefties. Now, let's

381
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: check out the slab pack we ripped from our friends

392
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: I also think it was very telling when Rapporterters asked

393
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: Carls Mendoza before this game about what Brett Baby was

394
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: doing the lineup?

395
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: Not like so Crassic was Brett bay doing the lineu?

396
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: About why Brett Baty is getting this rare start against

397
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: the lefty and this also being his third consecutive star

398
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: at every game this series at their base against the

399
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: Red Sox, says Mark Fantos. How the pretty rough series

400
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: a defensively against Yankees, and Mendoza said very contrivetly like

401
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: he's in there for defense. He's in there for his defense.

402
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: We like the defense he's been playing. We think he's

403
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: a dish up, he's an upgrade there on defense. Did

404
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: say that obviously, but clearly he knows that he's watched

405
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: these games like we all have, and Mark Fanzos has

406
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: fumbled a few balls over.

407
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: There at the hot corner.

408
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: So it's just it's this start for him does seem

409
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: a little bit like the changing of the guard, that

410
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: he's now going to be the third basementtal. Further know this,

411
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: you can see the confidence he's playing with. Friends of

412
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: the program, pat Ragazzo share a quote on Twitter from

413
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: an unnamed rival executive saying that you gotta see Brett

414
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: Bay's confidence right now. You see the way he's playing.

415
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: I think now he's finally ready to become the player

416
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: everyone kind of expected him.

417
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: To be all along.

418
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: It just feels like the I feel like the birth

419
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: of something beautiful here of this last week or so.

420
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking at Baby's fielding metrics right now, OA has

421
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: some seventy second percentile. He's got a positive OAA. Mark

422
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: Vendoz has the lowest OA at third base right now,

423
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. That on its own is going

424
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: to make this team so much, infinitely better, especially because

425
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: the defense has been a little bit shaky over the

426
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks or so, while we've been scuffling

427
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: more so than we were at the start of the year.

428
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: Happy to see Brett Baty playing baseball so well, you know,

429
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: this has been a Mets or I shouldn't even say that.

430
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: You know, this has been a Brett Baty podcast from

431
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: the start. He's one of the first people we ever interviewed.

432
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: We went out to Arizona to talk to him, We

433
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: got some viral clips. We kind of told everyone he

434
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: was friends with Garrett Wilson in high school. That was cool,

435
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: really really happy for Brett Baby the person to be

436
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: playing as well as he is right now.

437
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that kind of ties a bow

438
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: on this game, besides the fact that Edmund Diaz managed

439
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 3: to walk the leadoff bather in a full run game

440
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 3: and still just breezed through the rest of the Red

441
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: Sox the bottom of the order to end that inning.

442
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: But I think it just was just one that allowed

443
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 3: those Mets fans to take a huge exhale.

444
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: By the end of it, Oh and actually one more thing.

445
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: I did want to mention that we're getting closer and

446
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: closer to having probably a bit of a difficult Louise

447
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 3: Terrentz for Suscuo Alpare's conversation, definitely because it's kind of

448
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: a pairent. I know Alpha is the first game of

449
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: this series to have a couple of base hits. He

450
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 3: scored the only run of the game to the Mets.

451
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 3: But the quality of at bats that Luis Terrenz can

452
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 3: offer right now, and how consistently hard he hits the ball,

453
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: it's just not at Sometimes it does feel night and

454
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: day from with alpas offers. I still there's no doubt

455
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 3: with cisqua Alvarez like Camby and should be in his career.

456
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: I think at this given moment this is similar to

457
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 3: the brand baby Mark Vanta's conversation. I'm being pro Luise Terrentz,

458
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: not really anti Francisco Alvarez.

459
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he smoked that ball off the Green Monster.

460
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: Today he hit got another hit up the middle, like

461
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: he just takes good at bats. We obviously know he

462
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: might be the best defensive catcher in Major League Baseball

463
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: right now, especially with throwing out runners and Again, that's

464
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: not a slight at Alvarez. He's been great defensively too

465
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: this year with throwing out runners, he's been much much improved.

466
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: But I think the playing time at least needs to

467
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 2: be fifty to fifty right now, where it feels like

468
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: it's more like seventy thirty in terms of where Alvarez

469
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: gets the playing time.

470
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's not anti Alvarez. Even though he

471
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: has been played playing poor this year, He's not He's

472
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: not driving the ball the same way he wants to.

473
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: Well, he's got the Eric Chavez approach. He's taking the

474
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: ball in fucking right field every timement on the ground

475
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: because that was the problem in game too. We haven't

476
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: really talked about that one. There's not much to talk

477
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: about besides the fact that the Mets hit hit I

478
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: think eight ground ball outs in the last five innings

479
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: of the game. Everything was hit hard or hit on

480
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: the ground softly, not particularly hard. The quality of that

481
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: bats were horrible. I started tweeting out just no captions whatsoever.

482
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 2: Eric Schavis quotes about his hitting technique and his philosophy

483
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: and how last year he just disappeared in Lindor kind

484
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: of told him, Hey, can you do your job for us? Please?

485
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: I'm not going to vouch for anyone to be fired

486
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 2: because that's insane. But I think this Eric Schavis' experiment

487
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: as a hitting coach, there's something that is just not

488
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 2: connecting the synapses or not shocking each other right now.

489
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: It's a tired, tired philosophy. It feels like.

490
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 3: It also does feel like the philosophy that the Mets

491
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: are going with right now at the plate is kind

492
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 3: of one that I think that some people are clamoring

493
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 3: for and not realizing the Mets are already doing. Where

494
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: the Mets seem to have this full on contact laying

495
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: the approach right now. They have one of the lowest

496
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: strikeout rates in the league. They've one of the highest

497
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: opposite field rates in the league. And if you look

498
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: into on the Mets in terms of all players in

499
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: the league who have had decreases in their average batspeed

500
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,959
Speaker 3: from this year compared to last year, the Mets are

501
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 3: at the top of that chart.

502
00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: And a big reason is that a lot of them.

503
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 3: Me players Mark Fiantos wan So, the Francisco Lindor, amongst

504
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 3: some others have all shortened their swings from this year

505
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: compared to last season. So I'm not sure if this

506
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: is a collective thing that's coming down from the front office,

507
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: which I kind of doubt based on the way the

508
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 3: Mets run their pitching development, they'd be telling Hithers to

509
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: have shorter swings and swing less hard and try and

510
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 3: just make contact rather than drive the ball out in front.

511
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 3: It does seem like there might be some disconnect here

512
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: and what the Mets are doing organizationally philosophically with their

513
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: approach to hitting, and I'm not really sure I like

514
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: it at all.

515
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, the idea that you can't live and die by

516
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: the home run. We've talked about this before on the podcast.

517
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring it up again, guys. The Mets had

518
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: not hit a home run in two hundred plus at

519
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: bats until Francisco Lindor hit that home run in Game

520
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: three on Wednesday night, in the eighth inning or wherever

521
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 2: that was, I remember the exact ending, but late in

522
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: the game. You cannot win baseball games if you're not

523
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: hitting home runs. Home Runs are the most important thing

524
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: you can do as a hitter on the baseball field.

525
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: No one can catch the home runs, no one can

526
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: make outs on home runs and you score runs with

527
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: which is positive to you winning the game. I still

528
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 2: can't wrap my head around the idea that there are

529
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: people that exist in this world who will say things like,

530
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: we need more singles, you need three four singles sometimes

531
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: to score one singular run when you can take one

532
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: swing of the bat, put it over the fence, hit

533
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: a home run. Of course, you can't do that every

534
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: single time you come to the plate. It's not possible.

535
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: But what do you know. The Mets offensive struggles and

536
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: lack of scoring and losing has all correlated with just

537
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: little to no home runs being hit by this entire team.

538
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: And this all reached again a tipping point in the

539
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: game on Tuesday night, where the Mets had runners on

540
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: base and the second inning, the third inning, the fourth inning,

541
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: the fifth inning, the sixth inning, and the seventh inning

542
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: with men reaching score im position and half of those

543
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: innings and every single time they failed to score runs.

544
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: And to make matters worse, there was the viral moment,

545
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 3: the crazy, hilarious election of ejection of Walker Viewler where

546
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 3: he did literally throw a pitch right down the middle

547
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 3: ye second base so the ball wasn't framed Carlos Nurbaiz

548
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: plays plays pretty good, play good catcher threw the ball down,

549
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 3: Lindor is safe. The umpire flashes the O two to

550
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 3: Walker Bueler, which Walker Buhler blew his cork at, and

551
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: to Walker Bueler blew his cork at, told the umpire

552
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: fucked himself and then was promptly thrown out of the game.

553
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 3: Situation that I do I don't play Walker Bueler with

554
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 3: all that, And I do think the umpire did the.

555
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: Poor job of de escalating. In fact, he escalated.

556
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: He escalated pure escalation there, and that was a It

557
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: was a that was a strange moment. But the only

558
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: part of that that hurt at all was the fact

559
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: that again second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh innings, most

560
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 3: of those coming against relief pitchers, mostly against relief pitchers,

561
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: the Messa just seen two days in a row. They

562
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: couldn't even get close to capitalizing at any of the

563
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: opportunities and let a very very winnable game slip directly

564
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: through their fingertips.

565
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: Two things with that Walker Buehler thing before we get

566
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 2: into the media marvel section of this podcast, because that's

567
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: where the real juice is at today. We're gonna have

568
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: so much fun with that. But one shout out to

569
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: Todd Frasier Airkrafts calling out Major League Baseball saying they

570
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 2: don't have a spine to back up the players with.

571
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: How Brian o'norra handled the egestion of Walker Buehler, because again,

572
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler was like, wait, what you call that a ball?

573
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: And Brian O'Nora immediately ran out behind home plate and

574
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: started chirping him, instigated the entire scenario. Two did you

575
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 2: see what you what you think about the Walker Buhler

576
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 2: tweet today talking about when Lindor was telling him to

577
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: get ejected out of the game.

578
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: I'll say this, a guy like Walker Bueller at least

579
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: he's consistent. Walker Bueller is a fiery guy on and

580
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 3: off the field. He plays with an edge and he

581
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: always has and suppressive for a guy like Walker Bueller

582
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 3: kind of simwhere with Michael Kay who can maintain that

583
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: edge even when they're clearly not playing their best ball.

584
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: Walker Buehler hasn't really been a good pitcher in years now,

585
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: but he still has that same fire and this was

586
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: his first started off the injured list.

587
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: So again I think it's it was. It was.

588
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 3: I thought the Walker Bueller tweet itself was fine because

589
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: mostly what he was doing was pumping up his own

590
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: ballpen agreed. I thought the tweet that was not fine

591
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: was the one from from I Jordan Moore about how

592
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: corny Francisco lindoor is leaning into the pitch, which I mean,

593
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: it's baseball, guy, If you lean to your team can't

594
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: score runs.

595
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: Bas appsally got hit in the the back foot, so

596
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 2: he didn't lean into it. He just didn't move.

597
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: And then the fact that Francisco o'door is on second

598
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 3: base egging on the umpire to throw Walker Pueler out

599
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: of the game, which again, this is games and ship,

600
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: this is baseball.

601
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: You want that storry to be thrown out of the game.

602
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: Paciscal Indors should not be standing at a second base saying no, no,

603
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 3: don't throw him out, please no, please don't throw him

604
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: at a million please you can't take him out of

605
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: the game. Please don't let us face face a reliever

606
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 3: for this entire game. No, but that's I did think that.

607
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: And also it was Mike Esterbrook behind the plane. Honora

608
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: was the umpire on Monday night.

609
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: Apologies to the Ornora Family shot Mike Esterbrook.

610
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: Honora did miss a multitude of calls, though especially that one.

611
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 3: Not Tyrone Taylor and the Millanning's again every single time

612
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 3: continued to fail and fail and fails run a the

613
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: scoring position. But I do think that the public outcry

614
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: that happened today, this Joy than More tweet was just

615
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: a regular DraftKings business person has over six million impressions,

616
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 3: three and a half of those coming from the Walker

617
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: Bueler tweet The shot us from two o'clock in the morning.

618
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: I took screenshots this Walker Bueler tweets. I was expecting

619
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 3: him to lead it by the time I woke up,

620
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: and lo and behold, it had millions of press by

621
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 3: the time I woke up. So it's just it's funny

622
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 3: to see this escalation. But again, I think this all

623
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: piggybacks of what's happening right now with the Mets and

624
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 3: Wan Solo and just everything else going around around this organization.

625
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 3: Where right now in American professional sports, literally besides the

626
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference Finals which just broke hard up again. But

Speaker 2: Yeah, it is shocking how much the mets are the

652
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 2: story on everybody's mind for a team that we've been

653
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: told again are the little brothers. Nobody's worried about them,

654
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 2: nobody cares. You know who I'm not hearing saying that

655
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: much right now is the one guy who always can't

656
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: keep the Mets name out of his mouth. Oh, Keith

657
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: ThEC Pherson. He is the one guy who I'm seeing

658
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 2: nothing lies anything. He's just doing his normal regular trash

659
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: stalk t which tip the cap. He's doing his game.

660
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: But old Michael Kay. Here's where it comes off full circle.

661
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: And I don't know how James is gonna end up

662
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: editing this, But you guys saw the episode where we

663
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: talked about the Wan Soto lies and rumors that are

664
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: being spread in these and Michael Kay again talking completely

665
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: out of his giant dome of his and lying out

666
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: his teeth. He watched the podcast, he listened to the podcast,

667
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: He dove deep into our social medias, he went onto

668
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: our tiktoks, and he took the bait about as well

669
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: as I could have ever possibly dreamed, James, when you

670
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: texted me that Michael Kay called us out, it was

671
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: one of the happiest moments of my life. That was incredible.

672
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to shout out the listener who sent me.

673
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 3: He sent me, Hey, I think Michael Kay just talked

674
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: about you guys in the radio. I was like, why

675
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: you can't be serious KJM, shout out KGM. And he

676
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: sent me the clip. He gave me the time stamps,

677
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 3: and it was honestly one of the most hilarious and

678
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: shocking things I've ever come across in my life, because

679
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: not only where Michael Kay is very obvious insecurity, he's

680
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: rampant the fact that a couple YouTubers and podcasters we're

681
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 3: speaking about again some false narratives that he was spreading

682
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 3: his changing of heart, one of the only people right

683
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: now on earth spreading these false narratives about Wan.

684
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: And so though he did it for about ten minutes, you've.

685
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 7: Never created real content in your life other than gargle

686
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 7: mets that you just sit back and anybody who says

687
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 7: something that might be construed as negative, well you get

688
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 7: very very upset because that's your whole life.

689
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: He didn't stop. He went on and on and on

690
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: and on.

691
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: There had to be someone behind the class being like,

692
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: hey Mike, stop, Hey Mike, what are you talking about?

693
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: Hey Mike, Maybe she'll out for a second, but no,

694
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 3: about ten four minutes, did you guys do want to

695
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 3: hear every single thing that Michael Kay said? Of course,

696
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 3: we're gonna pump in some of it into this step,

697
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 3: but at the end of the episode we're going to

698
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 3: do the outro will just be the entirety of the

699
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 3: Michael Kay. It will be about nine straight minutes of

700
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: Michael Kay going ballistic on us.

701
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's impressive, and we know it's about

702
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: us because he specifically mentioned very niche things that we

703
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: talked about in our episode.

704
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 7: You know, one of these clowns, one of these fleas,

705
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 7: one of these moths, said, Kay doesn't have anybody in

706
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 7: the in the mech clubhouse that would tell him anything,

707
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 7: what an idiot?

708
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 4: What you're an idiot?

709
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: As well as a TikTok from over a year ago

710
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: where that was the original Michael Kay bait we've ever

711
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: thrown out where we're like, he might see this one

712
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: where we're talking about how bad of an announcer he

713
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: is and how lousy he is as a baseball personality,

714
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: and he went and referenced that in this rant. I

715
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it.

716
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 7: And then you bring up the Yes booth against the

717
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 7: met booth. I mean such children.

718
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: Start to finish. It was phenomenal. It was peak content

719
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: from someone who just we threw out the bait and

720
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: we reeled him right on into where we wanted him.

721
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: And it is kind of sad, especially for someone like

722
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: Michael Kay, who again went on and on talking about

723
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: his thirty years in media, how successfull he is.

724
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 7: He's a lion, because why should a lion allow a

725
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 7: flea to go on his back and move forward.

726
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 4: I'm not going to give them any run.

727
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: Wait, he called himself a lion. Usually the big thing

728
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: that lions do is call themselves lyon. But I do,

729
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: at the end of the day kind of feel for

730
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: someone like Michael Kay, and you can kind of see

731
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 3: why he's so prone to these temper tantrums at the

732
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: right page of sixty years old and flying off the handle,

733
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: Because for Michael Kay's entire career as a solid radio

734
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: caster sports personality in New York City, he had to

735
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 3: deal with every single year, year after rear being number

736
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: two in the daytime segment, right behind the sports pope,

737
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: the guy, the guy with the same name as him,

738
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: Mike Francessa. Every single year, Michael Kay had to get

739
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: those results and say number two, number two, number two

740
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: every single time.

741
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: When Boomer came around, he was still number two after them,

742
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: and then after Michael k was number two all day

743
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 2: for most of his career his radio show, he had

744
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: to go to his night job being the voice of

745
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: the New York Yankees, where again he's number two in

746
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: his own city behind Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron

747
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: Darling as the clear best booth in baseball and far

748
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: and away best booth in New York City. So I do,

749
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: at the end of the day feel.

750
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: For Michael Kay as a guy whom Michael Kay reference

751
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: is trying to make it in this industry. It's true,

752
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: and you know, I have a lot of work to do.

753
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 3: Might have to find myself a real job one day,

754
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 3: totally possible.

755
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 4: And I'll be here long long after.

756
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 7: You probably have to get a job at some I

757
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 7: don't know place that doesn't involve rooting for the Mets.

758
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 4: But no one.

759
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 7: I laugh at you, I laughed down at you.

760
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 4: You don't affect my life Again.

761
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 7: I'll say it. If it sounds arrogant, maybe it is.

762
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 7: How's it working out for me? Compared to how's it

763
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 7: working out for you.

764
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: The year after year, day after day, pain deep in

765
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 3: your heart of being number two for fourteen executive hours

766
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: a day where you're only reprieve is when you're sleeping

767
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 3: at night. That really has to wear in a guy

768
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: in thirty the years in this industry.

769
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was impressive how personal he tried to get

770
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: with us. He tried to call out our social media following,

771
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: which again he's on the radio every single day on

772
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: ESPN and he is the announcer for the New York Yankee,

773
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: So bragging about him having more social media followers than

774
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: two people who have started this on their own was

775
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: a pretty interesting punch down for Michael K if he

776
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: truly is a lion concerning himself with what he called fleas.

777
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 7: By the way, I laugh at you because you're so pathetic.

778
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 7: You're a flea, each and every one of you that

779
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 7: came after me yesterday with your silliness and your insults,

780
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 7: your fleas. You're insignificant nothings.

781
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: Which is so funny. He called us aggregators, which I

782
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: thought was funny, saying you've never actually created a real

783
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: piece of content on your own, in your entire life,

784
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: which is interesting for a guy who talks just as

785
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: much as we do every single day about the exact

786
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: same stuff. So it's interesting to look in the mirror

787
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: and be like, nah, this isn't right now. You guys

788
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: are aggregators. I also thought it was really really funny

789
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: you mentioned it. He was like, these guys in a

790
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: couple of years, they're gonna be needing to find real jobs.

791
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: I'll be just fine. I'm like, dude, you're on a

792
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: dying medium. Nobody's listening to the radio anymore. It is

793
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: all about social media, it's about podcasts, it's about YouTube.

794
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: In the Yankee space, He's not even the most listened

795
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: to Yankee person and he is the play by play

796
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: announcer on Yes Network for the last twenty years. John

797
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: Boy kicks his ass. There's a bigger Yankee person who

798
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: is a social media personality who dominates the numbers that

799
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: he gets. So it's really interesting that all of a sudden,

800
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: now that Mets fans are talking about him, and Mets

801
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: fans are talking about how much of a bum he

802
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: is and how he's gotten talent and how he's washed

803
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: and how he's a dinosaur. It's interesting, how much it

804
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: just really got underneath his skin. It was amazing to

805
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: listen to.

806
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 3: There is one thing I very openly and very if

807
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: ivationally want to take back through from that episode, and

808
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: this is genuine apology straight from James Chan and markle

809
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 3: me the Messed Up Podcast. I'm personally I want to

810
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: apologize to Bob Clappish, who he did. We went a

811
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: little too hard on the Bob Clappish article itself. Bob

812
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: Clappish is an a steam journalist. He has been for

813
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: a very long time. He's very talented, he's very gobily

814
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: does and he's been doing it forever. I do think

815
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: in that specific article he did take the one solo

816
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 3: skipping his media availability to heart, but also after some reflection,

817
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 3: that does suck for someone who's an actual journalist like

818
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: Bob Klappish, someone who's actually in these clubhouses, actually speaking

819
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 3: to players, actually around these teams, you know, day and

820
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: day out, speaking with both of them. So then that

821
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: to me, personally, the official apology to Bob Clappish for

822
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: the Mets Up Podcast media marveling myself right now, even

823
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: though I think there were some times article he did

824
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: take things a little too far I think calling one

825
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: so though fat was certainly a bridge too far easy

826
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: for the journalist of Bob Clappish as this team, I

827
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 3: think saying he was a darkening mood, I thought that

828
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: was bizarre thing for someone like Bob Clappish to say.

829
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: If there's one thing to take out of what we

830
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: said on Tuesday, it's a big, gigantic I'm sorry to

831
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 3: Bob Clappish.

832
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a Hey game, recognized game. You were trying

833
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: to do your thing. We called you out, but you

834
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 2: know what, he handled it like an adult. I'm surprised

835
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: he didn't write a ten page article about our video.

836
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 2: You would have thought that Bob Clappish would have been

837
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: thinking about that one all day, like Michael Kay, who

838
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: was the funniest thing about what keeps going on again?

839
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 3: And with Michael Kay and with Clappish originally and then

840
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: with John Boy how they ran with this one, and

841
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 3: soa stuff is that they're continuing to obsess and talk

842
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: about a player that's not on their own team. I

843
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: can't imagine if someone who was like a a real

844
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: baseball guy, someone like Ron Darling who does ton of

845
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: media outside the Mets and SNY, if he went on

846
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 3: his regular MLB network spot and just started shit talking.

847
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, like Anthony Volpi, like.

848
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: If shout out Jolly. He had a great tweets like

849
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: imagine if Gary Cohen had a radio show where he

850
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 2: talked about the Yankee every single day, that would be

851
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: such a weird, weird world to live in. But that's

852
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: exactly what Mi Kay does. He even kept talking about

853
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: it more today and said that Wan Soto needs to

854
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: get over it. He can't put the milk back in the.

855
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: Utter, which is so weird to say, isn't it so

856
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 3: crazy to you? Also, this is a guy in his

857
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 3: sixties who again is a lie in the top of

858
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: this profession. He's talking about some doing his mid twenties

859
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 3: and some on podcasters also in their twenties.

860
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: Like the whole thing. It just reeks a.

861
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 3: Desperation to stay relevant, to search for clicks, which he's

862
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 3: clearly struggling to get because he got so mad we

863
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 3: don't know how to get them.

864
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: He said he's not worried about clicks, he doesn't need him.

865
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: And I was like, Michael, I'm gonna give you free

866
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: advice here. Ready for this, take your radio show, get

867
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: a camera record it, put it on YouTube. When you

868
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 2: get views, you're gonna get paid per thousand views. They're

869
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: gonna give you a rate that's more money. If you're

870
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: saying you don't need that money, I mean you could

871
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: do some really good things with that. Maybe donate the

872
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: money if you don't need it, could go to the

873
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: people that are working hard at the studio. Maybe you

874
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: don't need the money. And I know you said that

875
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: in there, very very clearly. You're doing well, you're at

876
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 2: the top of the game, you're a lion, you're making

877
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: handover fist money. But there's other people that are working

878
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: for you that I'm sure deserve even more credit for

879
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: producing that show, working hard every single day. Maybe put

880
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 2: it up on YouTube, earn some more money, get those clicks.

881
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: Pay those people even more money than they deserve.

882
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 3: And this is why there's a lot of value in

883
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 3: people in the media like Pedro Martinez, someone that's been

884
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 3: there before. He goes on TBST and T Who, who

885
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: broadcast the Mets game on Tuesday night, and said that

886
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: there was a time in Pedro's career where he was

887
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 3: also the highest paid player in baseball and that it

888
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: was very hard for him to adjust to that and

889
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 3: a lot of people, which I think is very true

890
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 3: and I think has become very apparent this week and

891
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: the way that a lot of these talking heads have

892
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 3: discussed one and so though and vilified him and tried

893
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: to read his mind and look inside him as a

894
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: personal weird on May twenty second, you would think that

895
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 3: of all fans of any teams, Yankee fans understand that

896
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball seams is not determined on May twenty second.

897
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 3: That it's okay, you're going to get distracted, You're going

898
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: to go through some frustration, but it's you've got a

899
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 3: long time ahead of you been a great player for

900
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 3: your entire career again, which hasn't even really been built yet.

901
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: It's only been a handful of years that he's been

902
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 3: the league. It's just gonna take a while. So again,

903
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 3: shout out ots like Patro Martinez, Chris Rose, and Trevor

904
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 3: Plus to the good thing kind of rightfully calling this

905
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: a bit of a witch hunt so far, and I

906
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 3: think that's kind of where we're at with this Wan

907
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 3: So situation is not going to stop because the click

908
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: machine will always deliver clicks.

909
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: When people are negative about Wan and solo in the Mets.

910
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 3: But it was just I don't know, I thought for

911
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 3: us especially, it was like kind of it was nice

912
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 3: to release that that stress and anger of all everything

913
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 3: that was going on with one so though and pretty cool.

914
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: We've got a good response from it. A lot a

915
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: lot of people listen to it, apparently that we didn't

916
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: even know would possibly be listening to these things. So

917
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 2: that's that's really an added bonuses. I'll say this, despite

918
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 2: us just being content creators and aggregators, somehow, some way,

919
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 2: the big mighty lion that is Michael Kay his big

920
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: ass head just like a lion, and the roar that

921
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 2: he has on the airwaves of ESPN and Yes Network.

922
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: It's interesting that he ended up spending about thirty five

923
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: minutes watching the metstub podcast. But again, just content careers.

924
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 2: We're gonna need jobs in a couple of years. We

925
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: have no idea what we're doing over here. Love to

926
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: see it, and.

927
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: I guess this is how Max pregnaction and this We're

928
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 3: gonna get the Dodges previous huge series this weekend. The

929
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: most the biggest shame of it all is that these

930
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: Yankee media personalities, these talking heads, while they're so obsessed

931
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 3: with wan So though, are missing a lot of excitement

932
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: happening with their own team right now. Cody Bellinger, the

933
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 3: guy who's the fact of wan soa replacement, is hitting

934
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 3: the shit out of the ball. He had the big

935
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: home run on Sunday to put the Yankees ahead, put

936
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: the game out of reach, and kind of put a

937
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 3: bow on that series. But all his own teep that

938
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 3: all the people covering his own team can talk about

939
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: is jan So Though. It's a real shame that these

940
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 3: people just have this solo derangement syndrome and can't really

941
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 3: look within thyself and focus on the joys their own

942
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: team is bringing them. They had another great walk off

943
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 3: win just on Wednesday Night. Amazing game be Jacob de

944
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 3: Gram Jason Deminga's walk off home run. It's just there,

945
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 3: it's it's it's an obsession. I'm excited to see how

946
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: this all unfolds.

947
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

948
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: I hope we can infiltrate his show just one more time.

949
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: I hope he takes the bait one more time, please,

950
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: Michael Okay, fall for the trap yet once again? All right,

951
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 2: enough of that guy, his big head. Let's go ahead

952
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: and talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers series coming up

953
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 2: Memorial Day weekend, big series against the Dodgers. They're coming

954
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: off of a couple of tough games against the Arizona Diamonbacks,

955
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: who always played them. Well, here's the thing about the Dodgers.

956
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: Their offense is unfucking believable. It's insane.

957
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they've they won the last two games

958
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: at Diamonback series after somehow getting swept by the Angels

959
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 3: over in air quote rivalry weekend. Somehow that was now

960
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 3: the story. But the mess was two out of three

961
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 3: to the Yankees was the big national story somehow, some way.

962
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 3: But this Dodgers team, for everything that their rotation has

963
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 3: not been this season, their lineup has been the show.

964
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: Heyo Tani is everything.

965
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 3: He's the He's the second best player in baseball, second

966
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: hit in baseball besides Aaron Judge until he pitches Taskar Hernandez.

967
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: Incredible.

968
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman looks ridiculous. After he was limping around spring training,

969
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 3: he was supposed to get loaded management. Now he's played

970
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 3: thirty games in a row. Mookie Betts lost thirty pounds

971
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 3: in Japan before the Dodgers season began. Now He's hitting

972
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 3: home runs left and right. Like the whole team right

973
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 3: now is just it's a juggernaut. But then you look

974
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 3: at this pitching sid I'm gonna tell you, guys, a

975
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 3: pitching match for this series right now. They've lost basically

976
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: everyone who's supposed to be in the rotation preseason. So

977
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 3: this weekend it's three games against the Dodgers at City Field,

978
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 3: a series where Gary keithan Ron get to have the

979
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 3: whole weekend off Moremorral Day for themselves, probably the first

980
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 3: time ever. And those guys got to get Momorial Day

981
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 3: for themselves at least in the last like thirty years,

982
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 3: about somewhad years because Friday Night Apple TV Griffin Canning

983
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 3: versus Clayton Kershaw, Saturday seven to fifteen Fox David Peterson

984
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 3: versus Tony Gonsolin, and then Sunday ESPN call that Sanga

985
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 3: versus Landing Knack. I will be at that game Sunday night.

986
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 3: I'm excited for that one. Be late in that podcast

987
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 3: for us with the boys out there, but I'm very

988
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 3: excited for this series. There there's always a different energy

989
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 3: at City Field when arrival comes to town. Whenever you

990
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: get those true braves Phillies games, the energy is different.

991
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers have matched that energy over the

992
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 3: last few years, and there's a true buzz when they're

993
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 3: in the ballpark.

994
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

995
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 2: A big reason too is Dodgers fans show up really,

996
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: really well to the stadium, so there's gonna just be

997
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: a lot of noise for both sides, and everybody wants

998
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: to see show Heyo Tani play. Every time he goes

999
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: to a city, doesn't matter where, he's must watch baseball.

1000
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: He's one of the best baseball players we've ever seen

1001
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: in our lifetimes, and he's playing at an unbelievable level.

1002
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: Yet again, most home runs in Major League Baseball at

1003
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 2: ten to seventy four ops, seventeen homers. He's stealing base

1004
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 2: is still eleven stolen bases. The guy's an absolute freak.

1005
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 2: And you know what's crazy is technically he's not even

1006
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 2: really hitting the best on the team right now. Freddie

1007
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 2: Freeman's got an eleven hundred ops. It's it's insane how

1008
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: deep this lineup is and the.

1009
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 3: Three seventy batting at Everstawska Hernandez missed about two weeks

1010
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: an injury, He's still one of the league leaders in

1011
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 3: runs batted in. Andy Pajees, a very talented prospect, has

1012
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: really blossom this year. The underlying stats don't look incredible

1013
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 3: field though he plays a great center field, has nearly

1014
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: eight hundred ohps. Has moved himself up till he was

1015
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 3: hitting clean up what the oscar was out for a

1016
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 3: couple of games, and now he's back down to fifth.

1017
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 3: Tommy Edmund who Mets fans are not going to be

1018
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 3: excited to see. I mean, I'm a little scared for

1019
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 3: that guy safety he walks into New York. But he

1020
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: started the year in a power surge more than he's

1021
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 3: ever had in his career. Miss time with injury, now

1022
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: he's back. Great timing for us. Also, the Dodgers did

1023
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 3: something over the last week that they haven't really done

1024
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 3: in years, and that's meaningfully churn and turn over the

1025
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 3: bottom of their roster. A long time of loyalty the

1026
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 3: Dodgers gave to guys like Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor

1027
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 3: has finally run out and they replaced those two who

1028
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 3: are struggling mightily. Austin Barnes hasn't been good in like

1029
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 3: well four or five years now, as Taylor about two

1030
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 3: three himself, but they've been replaced on the roster by

1031
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 3: stud prospect, probably objectively, one of the fourteen best catchers

1032
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: in No. ALF baseball, Dalton Rushing. And then also there

1033
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 3: another big sign had to have Korea this past offseason.

1034
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 3: Heigh Sung Kim, who's just an athletic freak.

1035
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a really good ballplayer. It's really hard to

1036
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 2: get him out right now. He doesn't swing in as

1037
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: much he gets on base a ton makes really good contact.

1038
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 2: You mentioned Dalton Rushing might not even play that much

1039
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: because Will Smith is playing out of control right now.

1040
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 2: He's playing so good. He has a nine to sixty

1041
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: three zero PS. Mookie Betts is like the guy who's

1042
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 2: like swinging the back. The worst of all their big

1043
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: names still has a no PS right around eight hundred.

1044
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna see Michael confordo back, although he has been

1045
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: struggling quite a bit right which yeah, could be one

1046
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 2: of the next cuts coming up here. They've got he

1047
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 2: Kay Hernandez on the bench. They've got Miguel Rojas, big

1048
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 2: friend of the podcast. This was a big eight episode.

1049
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: My goodness, I mean they all are at this point,

1050
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 3: I mean just there. It's such an embarrassment of riches

1051
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 3: with this team. But again, everything that this lineup is

1052
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 3: is kind of everything that their rotation lacks, because if

1053
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: you look right now at the pitchers on the injured

1054
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: list to the Los Angeles Dodgers, it would probably build

1055
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 3: I think pound four pound easily the best rotation all

1056
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 3: baseball if these like seven eight guys were actually healthy,

1057
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 3: because right now their injured rotation is Tyler Glass, now,

1058
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 3: Blake Snell, Gavin Stone, Emma she and Rookie Sasaki. Then

1059
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 3: prospects who are talent that haven't really made their market,

1060
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: River Ryan and Kyle Hart, and then in the Dodgers

1061
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: injured bullpen you have Kirby Yates, Blake Trianion, Evan Phillips,

1062
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 3: Michael Kopek, Michael Grove, Brustar gatheral Right there, I just

1063
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 3: named what twelve pitchers eleven pictures that would be hands

1064
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 3: down the best rotation bullpen combination in baseball. All those

1065
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 3: guys raalthy, yeah, they're uh, Dodgers are really good, really good.

1066
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: This is gonna be a fun, fun series, a nice

1067
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 3: test for the Mets because they've been playing poorly, but

1068
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: we know when they get the city field, they turn

1069
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 3: it up. We've got one of the best records in

1070
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: baseball at home. I think they're seventeen and five right

1071
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 3: now going into this series. I'd love to see that

1072
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 3: number start with the twenty for the home record by

1073
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 3: the end of this one. We're not going to get crazy, though,

1074
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 3: Let's just try to win the series. Let's play good baseball.

1075
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 3: Let's see the bats wake up. We've been pitching so

1076
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 3: so well.

1077
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: So not only is this a test for the offense

1078
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 2: to bounce back, but this is the first true mega

1079
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 2: mega test for this pitching rotation, which a lot of

1080
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: people still do not believe in at all.

1081
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 3: And we call it a huge break in this series,

1082
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 3: which is the opposite kind of the good fortune after

1083
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 3: the Yankee series that we are missing Yoshinobiyamo, though yeah,

1084
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 3: I have as sent it to being one of the

1085
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: five four best pitchers in all of baseball at this point,

1086
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: the true sliding Doors moment. I know there probably wasn't

1087
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 3: actually a chance we were going to sign him, and

1088
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 3: we had this weep's takes last offseason, but that's going

1089
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 3: to be something we think about for probably the next

1090
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: five ten years as Mets fans about how different things

1091
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 3: would be if we had Oshnobiamo Tho instead of the Dodgers,

1092
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 3: because right now he's putting this entire pitching staff on

1093
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 3: his back. Where against the Yankees we have to face

1094
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: all their best pitchers. They missed our two best pitchers.

1095
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 3: We even talk about Clay Holmes the Red Sox series.

1096
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: He was awesome again, just a really, really fantastic pitcher.

1097
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 3: It's amazingly he's become. But missing young Mo is a

1098
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 3: golden opportunity for the Mets to find a way to

1099
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: take two of three. I will also warn Mets fans

1100
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: about this series. If you're beating the Dodgers in the

1101
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 3: first four innings, five innings, six innings, seven innings.

1102
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 2: The game is not over.

1103
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 3: These hitters are not only talented, powerful athletic, they're brilliant.

1104
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 3: When these guys get to face relievers, they are on

1105
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 3: the top step, they're talking to each other. They relish

1106
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 3: in these late inning comebacks. They do a time after

1107
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 3: time watch way Tilly Dodger games. Dodgers and Padres love

1108
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 3: watching the West Coast games. These guys love feasting on

1109
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 3: teams bullpens, so it's paramount for guys at Griffin canning

1110
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 3: to find a sixth inning in his start, get through

1111
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 3: enough of the games so we can hold our best

1112
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 3: relievers and be able to use them. Let these guys

1113
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 3: only see them once when we have.

1114
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 2: To, as easier said than done. Two But let them

1115
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: get any momentum either, because as soon as the ball

1116
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 2: starts rolling a little bit, they absolutely pounce up the game.

1117
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: Against the Diamonbacks the other night that went into extras,

1118
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 2: the Dinmonbacks went up two in the tenth inning, Diamonback's

1119
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 2: got a hit, a base runner, a walk, this and that,

1120
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden bank game over Dodgers win.

1121
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 3: About the game is dining back two weeks ago with

1122
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 3: the Dodgers put up like an eight spot in the

1123
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 3: ninth inning. That was a game where there was like

1124
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 3: eight two Dodgers. I think it was like twelve eight dime.

1125
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 3: Was one of the most back and forth games I've

1126
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 3: ever seen in baseball. But I also think as we

1127
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 3: end this Dodgers' preview, just a few brief moments to

1128
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 3: talk about someone that got a lot of publicity's offseason,

1129
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 3: Rookie Sasaki and his well documented struggles. He was the

1130
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 3: feature of one of our early season media marvels this

1131
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 3: year when he was seeing crying in the dugout. He's

1132
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 3: had a horrible transition to the major leagues, someone that

1133
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 3: we were pretty disappointed the Mets weren't close to the signing,

1134
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 3: but at the same time digging into him, realizing that

1135
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 3: he wasn't going to be a very talented pitcher. Off

1136
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 3: the bat, he doesn't have fastball and misses any bats.

1137
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 3: He doesn't have good command, he doesn't have a deep

1138
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 3: pitch mix. It's been a rough go for Roki Sasaki.

1139
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 3: So I think he'll still be a very talented pitcher

1140
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 3: through the years, but it's it's basically basically going to

1141
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 3: be zero as a rookie for the Dodgers team.

1142
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything I'd heard from my friend Wheels over in

1143
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: Japan who lives there, a big baseball fan out there.

1144
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, Roki won, Like I know, his

1145
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: numbers look crazy, like he's not He doesn't have that

1146
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 2: same vibe in Japan that the American fans think he has,

1147
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: like he's not that guy just yet. There was always

1148
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 2: the injury concerned with him. There was a lot of

1149
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: thoughts that Roki even wanted to get over here as

1150
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 2: soon as possible, because he knew an injury was coming

1151
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 2: and he wanted to be able to be on a

1152
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 2: major league team rehabit with a major league roster and

1153
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 2: major league doctors. He's going to be a good pitcher

1154
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 2: at some point in his career. The stuff is way

1155
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 2: too electric to ever be not productive like he has

1156
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 2: been so far this season. But it does make me

1157
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 2: feel a little bit better that we did not get him,

1158
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 2: because he honestly really hasn't been a help to the

1159
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: Dodgers at all this year. No, I think he will be.

1160
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 2: I think that's it. So we got this episode. So

1161
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 2: we got for this episode. Uh, hopefully special somebody, Yeah,

1162
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 2: what's Frankie Pepper's got for us?

1163
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 3: I see what Frankie's guy as an uplifting, fast, serious

1164
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 3: finale against the Red Sox.

1165
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 8: Gentlemen, this is Frankie Peppers. How you doing? But don't

1166
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 8: still the series we wanted? But in good final game?

1167
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 8: You feel a little better going into going into the

1168
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 8: series against the Dodgers. Brent Baby, I can't say much

1169
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 8: more about him, so.

1170
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: I won't, but I'm surprised these Red Sox need to

1171
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: maybe think about not having Alex cor as the manager

1172
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: because the two games he didn't manage in the series,

1173
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: the Red Sox one, so they might shake up right there.

1174
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 8: Regardless, boys, I just made about ten pounds of hummice

1175
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 8: and I'm putting that away, so I'm going to keep

1176
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 8: this short. I'll talk to you boys soon. Let's go, Mets.

1177
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 2: Ten pounds of humus. We go one more?

1178
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 8: Also one, so it was gonna be fine.

1179
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: Thanks, boys, there we go. Nice, say Frankie the Frankie

1180
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 2: Pepper's stamp of approval. You make hummuss ten pounds of

1181
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 2: hummus a lot of hummus.

1182
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's exaggerating. It's clearly Frankie being hyperbolic. But

1183
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: ten pounds, that's probably.

1184
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: But also I wanted to put it past them. I wouldn't.

1185
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 3: I used to one can't trick piece out of time

1186
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 3: because I brought my trick piece first. I do the

1187
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 3: I do the cheap quick way. I do chick these

1188
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 3: in the can brown them. That helps uskin fall off.

1189
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 3: But to each the I'm sure, I'm sure Frankie makes

1190
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 3: incredible hummus.

1191
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,400

Speaker 2: the mat A Podcast. Hopefully we beat the Dodgers. Let's

1215
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 2: fucking go Mets. Let's call Mets. See you guys next time.

1216
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 7: Now, one other thing, there are a lot of aggregators

1217
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 7: out there, content providers. I'll do that in air quotes

1218
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 7: that when they disagree with you, they become really, really nasty,

1219
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 7: And I kind of laugh at it because to me,

1220
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 7: they're nothing.

1221
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 4: They're fleas. They really are.

1222
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 7: They think, as they have eight thousand followers on Twitter

1223
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 7: or fifteen thousand followers on Twitter, that there's some big,

1224
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 7: tough voice that moves the needle. Now, I'm not even

1225
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 7: going to give them the benefit of giving their handle,

1226
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 7: because why should a lion allow a flee to go

1227
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 7: on his back and move forward.

1228
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 4: I'm not going to give them any run. But it's

1229
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 4: a joke, is what it is.

1230
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 7: Questioning I have, you know, one of these clowns, one

1231
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 7: of these fleas, one of these moths, said, Kate doesn't

1232
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,439
Speaker 7: have anybody in the in the mech clubhouse that would

1233
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 7: tell him anything.

1234
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 4: What an idiot? What You're an idiot? I've got more.

1235
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 7: If a met somebody important and the Mets ever spoke

1236
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 7: to you, because you're a met expert, you probably wet

1237
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 7: your pants. Okay, I've got people in that clubhouse that

1238
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 7: I've known for years. I've got people in that organization

1239
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 7: that I've known for years. Don't doubt me.

1240
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 4: Okay.

1241
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 7: Then there's another and he calls in here all the time,

1242
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 7: Bernie from Virginia that I said yesterday that stuff for clicks.

1243
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 7: And what I would say to Bernie from Virginia, Okay,

1244
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 7: is this what do I need clicks for? Well, I'm

1245
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 7: sixty four years old. I'm not monetizing anything by getting clicks.

1246
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 7: This show and this station that I'm on doesn't even

1247
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 7: pay Arbitron for ratings, so clicks aren't gonna get me

1248
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 7: more rate.

1249
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 4: We don't.

1250
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 7: We're not even a rated station. We learn who listened

1251
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 7: to us from streaming and stuff like that. An engagement,

1252
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 7: but in terms of ratings, I don't need the clicks.

1253
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 7: And as for the Yankee broadcast done, yes, well you

1254
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 7: know what, the people that watch that game, we're gonna

1255
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 7: watch that game. Whether if the Yankees are good, more

1256
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,479
Speaker 7: people watch if they're good, fewer people will watch if.

1257
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 4: They struggle, has nothing to do with me getting clicks.

1258
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 7: So when you bring up that I'm looking for clicks,

1259
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 7: it shows that you're a complete, utter idiot.

1260
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 4: Clicks mean nothing to me nothing. I don't get anything

1261
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 4: out of it.

1262
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 7: The only thing I care about is how am I

1263
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 7: going to monetize something I can't monetize clicks. So when

1264
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 7: I came on the area yesterday, it was because I

1265
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 7: got to the ballpark on Saturday at eight thirty in

1266
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 7: the morning and I just wanted to get to the

1267
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 7: bottom of what's going on with Juan Soto and why

1268
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 7: he is so down.

1269
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 4: And I told you what I found out. But of course.

1270
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 7: Because you're an aggregator and you've never created real content

1271
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 7: in your life other than gargole Mets that you just

1272
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 7: sit back and anybody who says something that might be

1273
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 7: construed as negative, well, you get very, very upset because

1274
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 7: that's your whole life. I want to even if you

1275
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 7: have a wife or a girl from me, it's just

1276
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 7: your whole life. Not only do you adore the Mets,

1277
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 7: which is great. You should adore the Mets, they're your team.

1278
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 7: But if anybody says anything quite negative or what you

1279
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 7: can strue is negative, oh, you get so upset and

1280
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 7: get you get all butt hurt and your panties get

1281
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 7: in a bunch and I'm a bad guy in my

1282
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 7: career is unraveling. And then you bring up the Yes

1283
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 7: booth against the Met booth. I mean such children. You're

1284
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:35,760
Speaker 7: such children, each and every one of you. I understand

1285
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 7: people make money and they make their living. Okay, I'm

1286
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 7: gonna be a Yankee boy. I'm gonna be the Met

1287
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 7: boy on Twitter. I'm gonna defend everything. Then the Mets

1288
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 7: do good good any way you can earn a living, babe.

1289
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 7: But don't try to jump on this back. Don't try

1290
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 7: to jump on this back to get your clicks, because

1291
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 7: you're looking for clicks, not me. I don't need clicks.

1292
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 7: I've been on New York radio for twenty three years.

1293
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 7: I've been the voice of the Yankees for thirty four years.

1294
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 7: So I had one question to you. All the people

1295
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 7: that went nuts because I actually spoke the truth Aboutjuan

1296
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 7: Sota yesterday, which by the way, Wan Soda could have

1297
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 7: denied yesterday, never said a word. So all the people

1298
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 7: that want to jump me, oh, his career is failing.

1299
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 7: He's not a journalist. He's making stuff up for clicks.

1300
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 7: I'll come back with the same saying I always do.

1301
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 7: How's it working? Out for me, Bub, how's it working

1302
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 7: out for me? I'm not going anywhere, and I'll be

1303
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 7: here long long after. You probably have to get a

1304
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 7: job at some I don't know place that doesn't involve

1305
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 7: rooting for the Mets. Do you guys really make yourself

1306
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 7: out to be a little bit more important? And then

1307
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 7: the way you guys came down on Bob klappish an

1308
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 7: a steam journalist who only wrote what somebody in the

1309
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 7: metal organization told them. And you got personal with the guy.

1312
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 7: one of the greatest writers who ever lived, that has

1313
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 7: ever written about baseball. He's had best selling books on

1314
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,879

Speaker 7: orange and blue pomp poms in your life, and you're
