1
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: What is up, Mets fans? We're back here for episode

2
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: number seventeen of the Mets Up Podcast. I'm your co

3
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: host draftneck Mark Mark Luino alongside James Sheiano Jeter had

4
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: no range talking about the New York Mets as we

5
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: do every single series, and it's only getting more interesting

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: as the season's gone on. We've said this before, but

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: the season has felt like three or four seasons within

8
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: itself already, and it continues this weekend when we played

9
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins with essentially the Triple A Mets. The

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Syracuse Mets out there started off great, and as the

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: games went on, more and more we realized that this

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: team is going to be in a lot of trouble

13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: with the current roster that we have out there. Shockingly,

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: a Triple A team struggles to play even against some

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: of the worst League Baseball teams. It's almost like, you know,

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: tripaas for worst players. But we're gonna talk about everything

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: all the games in depth as we always do. Miami Marlins,

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: New York Mets not a great series, James, how are

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: you feeling. I mean, we've briefly talked. It's tough to

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: be excited after this one.

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: No, I don't feel very good at all. It's the

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: replace Mets of phrase that you coined a few weeks

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: ago that everyone else in the media has taken since

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: these are the replace Mets, and we were a little

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: bit I don't even know the word. We were very

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: optimistic going into the series, especially with the Colorado series

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: upcoming that we'll get to later, that the Mets, even

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: with this I don't know, reduced roster lack of talent,

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: if you will, would be able to knock off a

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: couple games from some of the worst teams in baseball.

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: And now I'm starting to doubt that premise.

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really really tough when you're throwing out a

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: lineup of guys that literally just don't hit or even

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: get on base. We have a lot of guys who've

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: got a nice little glove right now, but when you're

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: not scoring any runs, it's really tough to win games.

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: And it's a perfect segue into the one game that

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: we did win, which was Game one, which we won

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: by the skin of our teeth. We had no business

40
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: winning that game whatsoever.

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: The miracle that game was this That game and kind

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: of the entire series itself felt like little league baseball.

43
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: It was bad. It was just not good baseball, at

44
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: least from the Mets perspective, and even from the Marlins perspective.

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: They didn't even really play well, but they.

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: Don't often play good baseball, so I don't really hold

47
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: them accountable. But just from the jump of that game,

48
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: John vr drew a four pitch walk off of I.

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: Even John Curtis was the O'mardlins opener on Friday night,

50
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: and the fifth pitch of the game he stole second base.

51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: That's a little league move.

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like the fast kid gets on and he's

53
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: supposed to steal. That's it. That's his job.

54
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: It's a general understanding that we probably won't have very

55
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: many base runners, so the few that we have we

56
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: need to capitalize on. And the Mets, for one inning

57
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: on Friday night, actually did do that. Just happened to

58
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: be the first inning. That's why I was like very optimistic.

59
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: Actually at like seven fifteen, seven to twenty five maybe

60
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: on Friday night, I was like, Oh, we can't put

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: this together. We're a ragtag bunch of crazy, crazy motherfuckers. Like,

62
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: let's get it together here. VRS walked stole the bass

63
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: Lindor hit a nice rope lefty, which I know you

64
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: were a fan of. Loved it because he's been struggling

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: lefty all season long. I've been talking about it, and

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: as a series went on, you saw the lefty swing

67
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: again kind of regress a little bit, but it was

68
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: good to at least see an extra base hit left hand,

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: because it feels like there's not many. It might have

70
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: even been like his second or third this year lefty,

71
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: which is shocking. We got that run in and then

72
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: the next Batther I think was Don put the fly

73
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: ball into the outfield. Lindor tagged up that ball went

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 2: off of his leg or maybe that was even Neto.

75
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: I don't remember. It's been a long time ago. At

76
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: this point, Met's got two cheap runs to start that

77
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: game on Friday night, and that was amazing, and I

78
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: kind of, I don't know, this was talking about a

79
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: lot in the broadcast this weekend that when a pitcher

80
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: is aware that his team can't score, you're gonna be

81
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: squeezing the ball kind of tightly. You're gonna be away

82
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: like you just know you have to be perfect to

83
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: win a game, and Stroman kind of looked like that

84
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: at the beginning of this game.

85
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the start he was very shaky. I think

86
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: I even put out a tweet and me and you

87
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: were talking about through text that if we can get

88
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: five or six hot Shrowman today based on how his

89
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: stuff was looking, that was gonna be huge because he

90
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: just wasn't sharp the first few innings. A lot of

91
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: runners on a lot.

92
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Of pitches, just a little off the plate.

93
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: He wasn't getting calls. Maybe even squeezed a little bit.

94
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: But Stroman to start, I feel like the first three

95
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: innings was a little little murky, a little foggy. He

96
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: wasn't there necessarily, But he did turn around the second

97
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: half of that game, and that kind of leads us

98
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: to the I guess like biggest controversy in game one,

99
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: which had to be when they pulled Stroman because he

100
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: was at that point dealing.

101
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was dealing. I kind of want to get

102
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: a little deep into Stroman, as I do most episodes here.

103
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: He had a very stark mid game adjustment. Something that

104
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: we've seen the Mets come into games with game plans

105
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: this year, have like different repertoires for different opponents in

106
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 2: different situations. That seems to be Hefner's biggest thing that

107
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: he does with these guys is really really stringent particular

108
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: game plans, which I like and seems to be working

109
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: extremely well for basically every pitcher on this staff. But

110
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: Stroman made a mid game adjustment, something that he hasn't

111
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: done in this manner all season. He threw for the

112
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 2: game twenty five sinkers and twenty five splithers and twenty

113
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: two sliders, So it looks like he had a nice

114
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: like red them like three pitch mix, something that he's

115
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: done a lot this year, mixed a lot of different pitches.

116
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: The top is repertoire. He only threw five of those

117
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: twenty five sinkers in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings.

118
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: That is when he settled into a groove, that is

119
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: when he was throwing his best ball. He threw twenty

120
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 2: sinkers in the first three innings. That's when the Marlins

121
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: were consistently on base, That's when they were hitting him.

122
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: That seemed like a very concerted effort by Marcus Stroman

123
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: to change something up in the middle of that game.

124
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what the splitters numbers were in the

125
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: first three innings either, but he was like sprinkling him

126
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: in there, and they were definitely the best pitches. I

127
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: think you even texted me you were like that, Splitter's

128
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: looking good. He needs to throw more, like you gotta

129
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: live and die with that tonight, And it seemed like

130
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: as the game went on he started to realize, like, Okay,

131
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: abandon the sinker, like you said, splitter more, and he

132
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: really did make the adjustment, which then led to the

133
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: whole decision of whether or not it was right to

134
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: pull Stroman at the time that they did.

135
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: He came out for what the sixth, seventh, seventy he pitched.

136
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: He got through the fourth, fifth, and sixth like extremely easily.

137
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: He had five consecutive strikeout stretch between the fourth and

138
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: the fifth, and he actually, I do have this dat

139
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: He threw nine splitters in the first three innings and

140
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: sixteen over the final three plus he pitched. Wow, that's

141
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: a very big difference. Something clearly happened there, and it

142
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: was just split It looked good. It was a weapon

143
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: against right handed hitters because it was kind of cut

144
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: into them. It was the most he'd ever thrown the

145
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: splitther in a start this year, and you just could

146
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: seem like he was continuing to get stronger and stronger

147
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: and stronger as the game went on. The pitch had

148
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: seven whiffs on fifteen swings. That's an elite number forty

149
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: seven percent. And it just felt like to me that

150
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: the Mets took him out at a time when he

151
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: was providing the one thing this team needed. Like, the

152
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 2: Mets have a massive hole in this rotation right now,

153
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: as well as their lineup. The whole lineup I think

154
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: is greater. We'll talk about that later, but the Mets

155
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: are gonna need innings with no off days for the

156
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: foreseeable future. Even almost was the best he had looked

157
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: all season. This is something like some real minutia. I

158
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: texted you when this happened. They sent him out for

159
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: the seventh He walked the leadoff guy, and we were

160
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: arguing about it, and I was like, no, it was

161
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: a tough walk. That was a tough walk, like a

162
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: couple pitches were fouled off. He had everything working, like

163
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: he just kind of lost a battle. If he had

164
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: came out and walked the guy in a couple of

165
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: high fastballs, a couple splilers in the dirt that didn't execute, sure,

166
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: I would say take him out he doesn't have it,

167
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: but it looked like he still had it. Personally, I

168
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: would have kept Marcus in there.

169
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: So my whole reasoning for taking Shroman out is I

170
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: think that, like technically, it was the right baseball move.

171
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: I think, if you're like really breaking it down, I

172
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: think Louis Rojas on paper made the right decision statistically,

173
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: whatever the numbers are, I think he went with that,

174
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: and I was okay with it because Schroman did struggle

175
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: early in the game, and I feel like, as much

176
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: as we needed the innings badly, we had a chance

177
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: to really lock up a game there. We had what

178
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: a three to one lead I think going into it,

179
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: and we did go to Miguel Castro. It's not like

180
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: we went to Jacob Barnes or Gaselman or one of

181
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: these other guys. We went to one of our lockdown dudes.

182
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: And Castro really only made one bad pitch and it

183
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: was to Garrett Cooper who gave up that home run.

184
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: So in my eyes, I said, whether Stroman or Cashro

185
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: gave up a home run there, if anything went bad,

186
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: it was people were gonna blame Rojas, and I feel

187
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: like that was a tough, a tough call. I know

188
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: Ron was super upset about it. I feel like the

189
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: bigger issue that inning was more of the pitch calling

190
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: where he blew. I think two fastballs by Garrett Cooper

191
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: wasn't even close. He threw a slider, he took a

192
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: good cut on it and I think filed it off and

193
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Ron was like, don't throw in that slider again. You

194
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: gotta go fastball here against Cooper, he's not hitting. Cooper

195
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: went yard on the next slider because it hung, which

196
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: we saw Cooper also do. I think in Game two

197
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: against Drew Smith, Yeah, you gotta throw fastball. As this guy,

198
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: it seems like as well, he's just he's sitting the

199
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: slow stuff and he's going to crush it when it hangs.

200
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: But that's getting a little bit ahead of ourselves. I

201
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: see both sides of the story. I think right now

202
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: Luis Rojas has more on his plate than we've really

203
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: seen a manager a major league baseball handle in a

204
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: long time. Seventeen sixteen guys on the il that is

205
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: half of a major more than half of a major

206
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: league roster, and some of those guys are not even

207
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: major league players that are hurt. And then add on

208
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: to the fact that Paraza got hurt in this game.

209
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: He hasn't played the last two days. Really another guy

210
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: who's just not playing. It seems like nothing can go

211
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: right for these Mets right now, even though everything is

212
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: going right to even keep them close in these games,

213
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: Like it's such a weird is paradox even the right word? Like, yeah,

214
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of a paradox, like a juxtaposition of luck

215
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: where the Mets have really bad like long term luck,

216
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: but everything in games seems to be generally lucky. And

217
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: I do agree with you that that decision by Rojas

218
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. It's just not what I would have done.

219
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: Like, we are talking about this much more amicably than

220
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: the people on Twitter who thought that Luis Rojas should

221
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: be like this should be on stake for taking out

222
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: Marcus Strowman. But castro and may also have been hot

223
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: and cold for the last weakish. They haven't been the

224
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: same guys that were in April. But both sides of

225
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: this argument have merit. I think that's the point that

226
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: most Met fans need to understand. What Rojas did wasn't

227
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: like deplorable. This wasn't Kevin Cash in the World Series

228
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: was about to bring that everybody's comparing it to. It's crazy,

229
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: isn't that? And even that, I will say, go on

230
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: my diatribe right here, that wasn't even the necessarily worst

231
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: decision I've ever seen like that, this process whatever happens.

232
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: But he got beat on a slider like Airic Cooper's

233
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: a clunky guy. He crushes breaking balls like it happens. Yeah,

234
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: he's not even a bad hither like that. Shit happens.

235
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: And just thank god that the rest of this bullpen

236
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: was able to pick up Castro and May, who struggled

237
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: again the inning after. Yeah, May struggled, but he was gutsy.

238
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: He was ballsy. That one call where he didn't get

239
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: it and he was hoss and he was just dropping

240
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: f bomb's non stop. It took him out of the

241
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: next batter, which you hate to seek, especially when it

242
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: was really really tight and really close. But then he

243
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: he dialed it up for was it Brian Anderson? D

244
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: he strikeout? Who'd you strikeout? I don't even remember, but

245
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: he dialed it up for that strikeout to end the

246
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: inning or whatever it was. And then he got into

247
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: the dugout and he was still hot.

248
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: He was still.

249
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: Screaming he gave us so like let's fucking go, which

250
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: I love to see the emotion, especially because that felt

251
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: like that was like, all right, we got we gotta

252
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: wake up, we gotta wake up a little bit. And

253
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: then he was even in the dugout talking to Hefter

254
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: and Nido like in the eighth about like where the

255
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: fuck did those miss? Like he was so stuck on

256
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: that one pitch ended up not burning us really, but yeah,

257
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: he's he's a little offs.

258
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah it didn't burn especially because we got a call

259
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: back in game two. It helped us a lot at

260
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: the time. But you never wanted to say it about

261
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 2: the umpire, but Tim Timmans was awful on Friday night

262
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: and it horrifically bad. One of the worst rate umpires

263
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: this year. And the MLB tweter umpire Raider, which is

264
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: a great account.

265
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: I was about to look it up. Do we have

266
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: a score? If not, keep talking, I'll find his umpire.

267
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: Score as we're going through this before we get into

268
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: the chaos and the fever dream that was the extra

269
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: innings on Friday night. I do want to touch on

270
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: neither because you brought him up. He had a fucking

271
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: crazy game. On Friday night where he laced a Ribby

272
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: doubble at some point I think it was in the

273
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: fifth and the sixth inning. He's the only guy hitting

274
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: driving anybody in. Yeah, a couple of deep flies, he

275
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: had a deep ground ball, the Garret Couper made a

276
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: very nice diving stop into the line. And later in

277
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: the game, like seventh eighth inning, when the Mets were

278
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: trying to get them together, he was doing great the plate,

279
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: as he's been doing, but also he seemed to take

280
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: the game into his own with runners on the base pats,

281
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: which I haven't seen a Mets catcher do ever, like

282
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: since like Paula Duca, I don't even know Lduca didn't

283
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: even have an arm like that. It's Paula Duca that

284
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: gets the rabid gambler. Yeah, but Thomas neither threw two

285
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: runners out trying to steal, and he was making snap

286
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: throws to every single base for the entire game. He

287
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: made that crazy throw late in the game where VR

288
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: wasn't even covering. Yeah, no, and thank god he wasn't,

289
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: because if he would have, he would the ball with

290
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 2: the Guydia after the mess would have lost. But I've

291
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: never seen a catcher in a game make a snap

292
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 2: throw to first, second, and third ever Never I've never

293
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: seen that, And that's one of a sign of Needle

294
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: being confident, is coming into his own which we talked about.

295
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: That's a good thing. That's also a sign that certain

296
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: guy and his team maybe trying to do too much,

297
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: which I think we saw a little bit from May

298
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: also as he put himself into trouble and got himself

299
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: out of it, which is like my favorite reliever pastime. Yes,

300
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: it's just something of the monitor that these guys don't

301
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: try to get outside of themselves to will this team

302
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: to victories.

303
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: So Tim Timmins had a ninety four percent overall accuracy score,

304
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: which is actually average, but inside the strikeson he missed

305
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: eighty seven or he was only accurate eighty seven percent

306
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: of the time. He was great at calling balls, he

307
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: was not particularly great at calling strikes, which is bad.

308
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: That's bad you have to call strikes. But you know,

309
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean the runs were in favor of Miami technically

310
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: by like half around whatever you want to take. The

311
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: most egregious call was eighth inning May to do vall

312
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: two outs, three to two count. He didn't cost us

313
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: the game, but he just wasn't very good.

314
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't want to talk sit about the umpires.

315
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: That's loser mentality. You gotta play the game. Whatever it happened,

316
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: not a big deal.

317
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: No, And then you talked about Needo being great taking control,

318
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: guys trying to do a little bit too much. We

319
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: even saw it. Well, I guess we'll just go to

320
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: the extras now, because this is kind of we talkalked

321
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: about it too. The Mets are at the point now

322
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: when a game's close we have to go to extras.

323
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: We need it because if we're losing. We got to

324
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: play for extras because we had a guy run scoring position,

325
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: and even then we still might not score him. I

326
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: think it's eighty three percent of the time you start

327
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: an ending with a guy in first and third, you're

328
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna score a run. The Mets did every inning in

329
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: the extras and only scored in one of them. It

330
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: is almost statistically impossible. Be as bad as they were

331
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: that night, still got to win.

332
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: Dude. Truthfully, how long would this game have gone if

333
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: not for the X training rule?

334
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: Oh, we would have been still plot watching today.

335
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: But like literally the thirty ninth ending with happened this afternoon.

336
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that extrating rule was a blessing in disguise for

337
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: us that night, because, oh boy.

338
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: It was I mean it wasn't It wasn't like because

339
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: we couldn't capitalize.

340
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, hard press to find runs. Luckily we had the

341
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: bench mob. The replacements step up. Jake Hager gets his

342
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: first hit ever in Major League Baseball. The Mets then

343
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: dfa him the next day, thanks for playing. Joan eshwy

344
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: Fargus comes up with a big hit, Khalil Lee comes

345
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: up with a big hit. Who else, well, Fradle Tavar

346
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: I think had like that little chopper or whatever.

347
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: The Hagar and Tivar hits were innings where we did

348
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: not score.

349
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: Oh was that? No? I thought Hagar was the inning

350
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: we did score, No.

351
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: No, tenth, eleventh, We did not score until the twelfth. Okay,

352
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: the twelfth inning was the one where it was Janeshwii

353
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: and Khalil Lee got the big hits. Yes, okay, so

354
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: Hagar and Tivar, but you're forgetting. I believe it was

355
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: the tenth or maybe the eleventh, because the whole thing

356
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: was a fever dream, like I said before. But Jonathan

357
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: Vr getting picked off at their base.

358
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I forgot about that. That was terrible.

359
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: That is Jonathan VR. Like we've had the good Jonathan

360
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: VR most of this year. The aggressive base running, the

361
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: heads up plays like that's what Jonathan VR does. But

362
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: that's all because he pretends that he's wearing an invisible

363
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: cloak when he's on the base bets. He thinks that

364
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: nobody can see him. He was taking a league off

365
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: their base, like twenty five feet at little outs. I've

366
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: never seen something get picked off by Summarina before.

367
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: Well, I think like there's definitely like a chance at

368
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: adamsonber like one hundred percent boked based on the way

369
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: that he actually does just go back in his thing

370
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: and throat. But also there is zero, zero excuse forever

371
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: being picked up third base. Ever, that can never happen,

372
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: and he was dead to rights.

373
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: Especially the Mets played this entire game because they were

374
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: so scared about having base runners so tight on the

375
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: basse pas especially. I think Neio got thrown out early

376
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: in the game on the jon Eshwi double a single,

377
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, neither got thrown out the plate in

378
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: the fifth a thing or something. So every single guy

379
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: who got the third was stopped there, and then for

380
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: some reason, Jonathan VR was nobody out, was dancing down

381
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: the line like he was intending to steal home. And

382
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: then even the Jeneswi play like the miracle and Duval misdive.

383
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: Why the fuck did they send him home?

384
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: D Sarcina was waving him. He didn't once think that

385
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't sending him home. I'm like, was even close.

386
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: He's a horrible third base coach. I'm just gonna say

387
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: he's really bad. He has no feel whatsoever for guys

388
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: running the bass pass. How many times have the Mets

389
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: been thrown out the plate more than any other team

390
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: I've ever seen went out? And then we also hold

391
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: players more than I feel like anyone I've ever seen.

392
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy, but we we won that game, and despite everything,

393
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: we won that game and our boy, uh, you know,

394
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: jon Eshwi fucking love him. He's an electric factory.

395
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: Electric factory. I threw it between from the Mets up

396
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: Instagram this morning, but going into today, five to seventeen

397
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: this week, three extra base hits. I don't think he

398
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: got ony hits today. Maybe he got that one. He

399
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: got one one lay in the game yet, but three

400
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: extra base hits three RBIs guy's playing an elite defensive

401
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: center field like he is at least fun. The rest

402
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: of the place Mets don't really have the flair he's exciting.

403
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: I think Joe Eshwiz at least bought himself some more

404
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: time on the major league roster, where like Al Morse.

405
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how long he's gonna be out for

406
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: in Polar, but I think Joe Neshwi is the guy

407
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: who stays they they have to dfa Camra Mayben whenever

408
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: we get somebody back. The fact that that guy had

409
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: been hitting three is insane. The only time he's reached base,

410
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: I think as a Met is when he struck out.

411
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the only time we reach base. I

412
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: just don't I can't fathom why he hits third like that?

413
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: How does that make any sense? Why would he hit third?

414
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: Anyone else can hit third? Why isn't neither hitting third today?

415
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: McCann hit third. Anybody else can hit third? It doesn't

416
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: Why is he the one hitting there? Joe Neshwi, I

417
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: don't care, It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. But well,

418
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: let's before we get two off topic here to stick

419
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: on Game one for a second huge to Drew Smith

420
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: and Edwin Diaz. Those guys just nutted up in extra

421
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: innings kep runs off the board. It is so hard

422
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: to keep runs off the board in this extra innings

423
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: when you're not a Triple A team like the Mets.

424
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: The Marlins have a major League baseball team. They have

425
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: a competent lineup. Mostly every guy in the team is

426
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: is a baseball player. I don't know if that's true

427
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: about the Mets, but those two guys just flexed on him. Yeah, amazing.

428
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: Drew Smith is legit, even though the next night he

429
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: gave a big home run, but he's a legit pitcher.

430
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: He's very good. And Edwin Diaz just continues to be

431
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: the man that we thought we were trading for.

432
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: He's lights out, dude. It's all about his like vigor

433
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: and the energy. He just needs vibes.

434
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: He needs trumpets and luckily the Pachanga band or whatever

435
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: it's called out there, thank you for playing the trumpets.

436
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, the inclusion of that band

437
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: in Marlins Park is going to change the trajectory of

438
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: that franchise.

439
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: It's electric.

440
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: What what an idea that was for them? As like

441
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: the tension mounds and those guys just like that's fun.

442
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: That's good stuff.

443
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: And you know what, it reminds me of a lot

444
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: of World Baseball Classic. They love playing the trump, hitting

445
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: the drums and everything.

446
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: It would monish that point.

447
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it gives it that vibe. And that was like

448
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: one of the most fun games ever in World Baseball

449
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: Classic history as well in Marlin's Park where Nelson Cruz

450
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: hit the big home run. Not important anyway, game Game two,

451
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: because I think we're not a Game one. It was

452
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: a good win, good scrappy win. Didn't deserve it, but

453
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: we got it.

454
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: We're not gonna deserve anything in the near future, so

455
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: we gotta get things we don't deserve.

456
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: Yes, and we got one. Mets usually lose those games.

457
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: We won that one. Yeah, Game two. I'm laughing at

458
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: your note. It just says this is just all a

459
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: sick joke. That's funny, because I mean it started off

460
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: so Joey lukezy bitch, great dude.

461
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: This whole this whole Meds season is like it's like

462
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: a dramatic arts production, Like it's shocking what we have

463
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: to go through right now. You never thought going into

464
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: yesterday's game yesterday being Saturday, because recording this on Sunday

465
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 2: that Joey Lukezi versus Pablo Lopez was going to be easy.

466
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: That's an uphill battle any day of the week. I

467
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: was honestly hoping the Mets kind of scheduled Strowman to

468
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: face Lopez just so the Mets could be on even

469
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: footing in every single game besides from my ace Cody

470
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: po dominating Jior Yamo though earlier today, but we'll get

471
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 2: to that. But like, the Mets just don't have any hitters, Like,

472
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: how could you expect anything from a lineup that has

473
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: Cameron Mayvien hitting third and wil Frey though, Alfrey though,

474
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 2: Tovar hitting six. What's gonna happen? What could possibly happen? Yeah, well,

475
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: Fredo Tavar, there's a reason he's a thirty one year

476
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: old rookie or whatever he is that the Mets had

477
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: in their farm system like ten years ago, and we're

478
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: not interested in He has like six or seven years

479
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: between major league appearances, which is great, happy for the guy,

480
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 2: great for him, But oh my god, the Mets didn't

481
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: have any spot in this lineup where they had three

482
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 2: consecutive major league players No, we.

483
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: Gave away innings. We literally gave away two thirds of

484
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: the game of going we're not gonna score, what are

485
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: we gonna do the rest? Also, I don't know if

486
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: you know this, Wayne Rendazzo, he took over obviously for Gary.

487
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: We knew that, you noticed that, But he kept calling

488
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: Wilfredo Tavar Will and I hated it because there's just

489
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: he's He's gotta be like Willy or Wilfredo. There's no way.

490
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: He's just flat Will Tovar Like, it's not Will. He's

491
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: not Will, especially Will with one L that doesn't play.

492
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: No, doesn't play at all. Wayne Rendazzo did a fine job.

493
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: It was did a fine job. I did love listening

494
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: to the radio this weekend with Howie and Eddie Coleman,

495
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: Ed Coleman's Great, Ed Coleman's hysterical. Those two are life first.

496
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: They've been friends for a very long time, and those

497
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 2: two get in the booths and they just talk about

498
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: the good old days, which I wouldn't love all the time,

499
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: but like a taste of that once in a while

500
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: is a blast.

501
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: In a series where the Triple A lineup's out there,

502
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: that's okay.

503
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: It gets the Marlins, and just to transition us to

504
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: the next point, they were up in arms about Lukeazy

505
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: be taken out of this game. They were talking about

506
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: Joey Lucaz into the seventh inning and he was taken

507
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: out after the fourth.

508
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: Ron was hot about it too. Ron couldn't believe it,

509
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: and I get it, like I think the old school

510
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: guys in them are like, he's pitching well, you gotta

511
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: let him go, And maybe you do. But also we've

512
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: seen enough.

513
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 2: Of Joey Lucazy to go that this is this is a.

514
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: What's the fake veil? What's that called the veil thing?

515
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: A veil, facade, A facade. Yeah, it's a facade. Whatever

516
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: happened will never happen again.

517
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: We're confident in it. I hope it does. What's the

518
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: fake veil thing?

519
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope it does. I want Joey Lucazy to

520
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: somehow continue to have a thirty percent k rate for

521
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: the year, which makes you stressed out because it shouldn't exist.

522
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 2: But it's shocking.

523
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: He pitched well. You gotta take the pitching well and

524
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: you gotta ride that into the next appearance because there

525
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: is a very, very more than likely possibility that he

526
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: came out for that next inning and got destroyed.

527
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to do like an XL Corey tomorrow

528
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: to find out the highest k rates with the highest

529
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: eras to see if anybody else has a thirty percent

530
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: k rate with a seven and a half ERA, because

531
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's ever happened before. There's only

532
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: twenty in example, but it's still shocking. I will Devil's

533
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 2: advocate you right now and say, this was like literally

534
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: the best start of Joey Lucas's career.

535
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Yes, and he went four innings.

536
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, forty eight percent whif rays the highest he's ever

537
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: had in the start and he only went four innings,

538
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: twelve wis and twenty five swings. The curve was churving'

539
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: but it like also like wasn't. No, he is still bad.

540
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: He is still bad.

541
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: Even watching the game, there were so many hanging pitches

542
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: and like churves up in the zone. Oh, but the

543
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: Marlins hitters just swunk through every single pitch that Joey

544
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: Lukesey throws as a hangar. Yeah, he throws a fake pitch.

545
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: It's a curveball without curve. It literally hanks that is

546
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: the point of that pitch. It is so bad that

547
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: it's good.

548
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: The modelins just also suck.

549
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: It was a perfect matchup.

550
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, if that's happening, like sometimes just kind of like

551
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: live and let live, like be in the moment. I

552
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: don't know. My sister came home from college this weekend.

553
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: She was having dinner at my family and she was

554
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: like to my parents, you guys have to just live

555
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: in the moment more. And like I was hysterical laughing

556
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: on the floor. But that's the most college thing ever. Yeah,

557
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: Like I'm done with junior in college. I know about everything,

558
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: but he just isn't good. But when it's happening, you

559
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: just have to fucking ride it. Sometimes just do it

560
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: like whatever. Like Joey Lukazi can fake it once in

561
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: a while. We've talked about that. He's deceptive, he's wiley,

562
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 2: he's a little bit creative, Like his role can't be

563
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: something that's like perfectly assigned. Like you need to just

564
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 2: have a feel with him and let him ride it out.

565
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: That's how you get value. Abut Joey Lukazy and I

566
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: don't think we did that very well.

567
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: Yesterday we got I think I can't again. I can't

568
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: get mad about going taking him out to go read Folly,

569
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: who like wasn't his best, wasn't his sharpest, but still

570
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 1: again very much kept us in the game, only gave

571
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: a one run.

572
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: True, but it seemed like Reid Foley wasn't ready to

573
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: start warming up at that moment. That was weird, and

574
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: that's why that was That's my biggest problem with this,

575
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: because see, if the plan was Lukezi to throw four,

576
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: everyone should be aware of that plan, and Sean Reid

577
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: Foley should be warming up in the middle of that inning.

578
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: But there was a pinch hitter who led off the inning.

579
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: I don't remember who it was, but they lined down

580
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: the first pitch and Reed Foley was taking off.

581
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: His sweat, he was taking off his jacket.

582
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 2: Was happening, and it was so clear he wasn't ready

583
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: because he had his worst inning of the season right

584
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: after that. He gave up three hard hit balls. So

585
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: the first three batters he faced, Joe Lucayz didn't give

586
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: up one hard hit ball the entire outing. That's a

587
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: real sentence. I can't even visit right. And it was

588
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: not even like we were getting to the third time

589
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: in the order. We were still in the second time

590
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: in the other like I get, I don't want anyone

591
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: to see Joe Lukazy. The second time, it seemed like

592
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: he had an inning. This comes back to again the

593
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: pitch hitter thing that Rojas has been stuck on a

594
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: few different times this year, especially with Lukezi, where he

595
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: wanted to get an extra bat up and just seemed

596
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: like it was a waste of resources. And Reid Foley

597
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: did work out of the initial jam and he did

598
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: pitch a clean six right afterwards, so then they set

599
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: him out for a third inning and he didn't really have.

600
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: It, didn't really have it, and then Luke had to

601
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: come in and clean up for him, which loop has

602
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: been loop's right now. The way it is, with how

603
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: many arms are gonna be using, just is gonna have

604
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: to like be good. And while he didn't do anything wrong,

605
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: he was fine, he got out of it. It's gonna

606
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a strugle with him. It's

607
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be clean, especially when he faces right handed batters.

608
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: He just has a really hard time getting Ready's out.

609
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: Even though again two thirds of an innings, no hits,

610
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: no walks, no runs, like he was fine No, it

611
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: just wasn't great.

612
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: Another issue with that is that he was used two

613
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: days in a row, and Aaron Luke is now the

614
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: pitcher who has the stuff to get away with throwing

615
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: two days in a row, which something we saw with

616
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: Drew Smith, which were like on the cusp of getting

617
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: to And Luke was hit in the twelfth inning on

618
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: Friday night. He let the Marlins briefly get back into

619
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: the game, and it felt like all of my nightmares

620
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: were coming to life. Yes, as Jazz chishm is on

621
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: third base, Chad Wallack's warming up in the bullpen, and

622
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is happening right?

623
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: Adam Simber at the plate he could I did.

624
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: Nothing made any sense. Not not one thing in that

625
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 2: game made any fucking sense. It's ridiculous. The Marlins might

626
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: have I don't even know if it's true or not,

627
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: but it seemed like they had a record for how

628
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 2: many pitchers they used. They used every single pitcher except

629
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: their starters that are on their team. They they chose

630
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 2: to hit Adam Simber instead of pinch hitting Chadwallack because

631
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: they said, we'd rather have Chadwallack pitch than hit. That's insane.

632
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: Doesn't that. I don't agree with it all.

633
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: No sense. Do you have a chance to win the game,

634
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: you said, Adam simber Up.

635
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 2: You don't think Sandi A. Kanntyre can give you one

636
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: day on Friday night till Monday anything anything. But again,

637
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: like Loop, he just doesn't have the stuff, the velocity anything.

638
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: He's kind of like lukesy Light, where he also like

639
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: needs deception to be good. He does have a slider,

640
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: which Lukezy for some reason has declined to learn doesn't

641
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: do it. Whatever reason, they flashed his career stats because

642
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: Dickerson Dickerson and nihilated owned him. He hit like three

643
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: fifty with like six homers. That's not a home run

644
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: hitting guy. And he did get him out, but he

645
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: hit a deep enough fly ball to where maybe did

646
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 2: make a nice throw of the plate, but it was

647
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 2: just a bang bang and Anderson, even though Neito did

648
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 2: drop that ball, he seemed like he still would have

649
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: been safe.

650
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: It was very close, very very close, and I can't

651
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 1: blame you anybody on that. But then Migaul Castro came

652
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: in Game two, did.

653
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: Well electric He was back to like the Castro we

654
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: saw last month, throwing one.

655
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: Oh one in what he was doing.

656
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: It was.

657
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: It was sick. But then Drew Smith came in and

658
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: we get to finally talk about it. Back to back

659
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: days for Drew might be tough, but also you probably

660
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: had to go to him. Familiar would have been the

661
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: only other guy. I think he could realistically gone.

662
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: Through a lot of pitches Friday more than Smith. Yeah,

663
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: which is crazy because Smith started, He's ending with a

664
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: guy in second base. If Familiar just got one there organically.

665
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's Jerry's feely. He didn't even again, didn't

666
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: even pitch well or pitch poorly. The other night. He

667
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: just gives up cheap hits.

668
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: He just pitches it, just pitches.

669
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, Drew Smith gave up the home run on

670
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: a hanging slider to Garrett Cooper. It was I mean,

671
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: as soon as he came out of his hand, he went, oh, boy,

672
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: like that's just not it.

673
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. And also the first at bad that inning was

674
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: he I don't know if it was a slytherer at fastball.

675
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: I can't recall right now that Aguilar pumped to deep

676
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: center field that Fargus made at the time a game

677
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: saving catch. Sick, one of the best catches of the

678
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: Major League baseball season so far sick. Every single guy

679
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: in the team was like screaming, patting the chest. They

680
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 2: showed the frame of Joe Neschway, Drew Smith, indor at

681
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 2: the same time.

682
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Just yeah, let's go.

683
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: When the first out of the ninth inning is that

684
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: astronomically important, you know that's gonna be very hard to

685
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: get three.

686
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: But I also felt like we were gonna get it.

687
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: I was like, he made that catch. The baseball gods

688
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: are Mets fans today?

689
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: Again, every single ball in play the inning felt like

690
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: it was crushed. Yeah, because I think Dickerson was next.

691
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: I'll remember I remember this from Main's life. If I

692
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 2: want to forget everything about the Marlins in the next

693
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: ten minutes. I don't fuck this team. I don't care

694
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: about them at all. They're irrelevant. But every single ball

695
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: was in play like it was a matter of time before.

696
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: He just didn't have it. He didn't have it. That's

697
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: our boy. They didn't have it today.

698
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: And that's a guy coming back from injury who you know,

699
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: basically had a little bit of spring training, a little

700
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 1: bit of minor league season to get ready. Using him

701
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: back to back days not the best decision. But we

702
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: also had to so again, it is what it is.

703
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: As they say in French, you like that. Look at that.

704
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: To get to like Minutia. I thought that could have

705
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: been Diaz, but I'm not gonna split Harris.

706
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: I don't know.

707
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: I think they wanted to save him for the tenth again, but.

708
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm a fever believer if you don't use your closer

709
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: on the road tied in the ninth inning.

710
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: So I'm a fair believer in the fact that this

711
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: Mets team right now is in a in an universe

712
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: that doesn't this for anything else in baseball history, So

713
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 2: we just have to do things differently to try and

714
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: win games. Like my watching the game my dad friend

715
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: that he didn't want to see. I think it was

716
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 2: Diaz in the tenth because you want to save him

717
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: for a safe situation. I said, how in the world

718
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: are we going to reach an eleven and it's high

719
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: game with a guy in second base? We have to

720
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: throw him. This is a safe because we need to

721
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: like extend our lives.

722
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: There's only like one team slightly comparable, I guess to it,

723
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: and it's like the Angels, but the Angels also stink,

724
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: so like they're not good. They just lost trout in

725
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: a couple of guys, but they're just not good. Where

726
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: like this mess team is going boo.

727
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: They still have I can't build I can't build a

728
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: team with the best players in the league.

729
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: When so Game two the Angels Angels, Oh my god,

730
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: Game two was tough.

731
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: These are a joke franchise. The Angels is just going

732
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: to tanga for a second. Have literally the two best

733
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: players in the American League. I'll say that openly. I

734
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: don't even know if there's a conversation anymore. And they can't.

735
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: They can't put the winning team on the field with money.

736
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: They have money.

737
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: It's funny how they refuse to get pitching refused. They're

738
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: like Alex cop hosing Kinana. Those are our boys.

739
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: Let's get them. It's awful, really quick before we go.

740
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: In the game three, I want to get Dom some credit.

741
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: He got a clutch single in the eighth that the

742
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: Mets really needed. It went away because we lost the

743
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: game of the ninth. But the Mets need the major

744
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: league players on this team right now, who are just

745
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: Jonathan vr Dom Smith and physical Lindor the step up

746
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: and Dom did it for a moment even though it

747
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: hasn't really overall, and that takes us to game three.

748
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: Take us a game three, and I'm gonna get a

749
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: start off by talking about Lindor and Dom. Lindor up

750
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: until Game three had a fine series. Wasn't necessarily good yet,

751
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: but it was fine. You thought maybe he was starting

752
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: to turn the corner a little bit. But an zero

753
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: for four today put him at three for twelve for

754
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: the series against the Miami Marlins. Dom Smith went two

755
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: for twelve in the series against the Marlins for a

756
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: combined five for twenty four. I know batting average doesn't matter,

757
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: but five for twenty four you're not gonna be very

758
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: successful unless those five hits are home runs, and shocker,

759
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: they weren't. The Mets are going to need Dom Smith

760
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: and Lindor specifically specifically, to step the fuck up. I

761
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: know it's tough. They have no protection. These guys aren't

762
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: trying to. But Dom has taken some horrendous at bats.

763
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand what his approaches at the plate. I

764
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: have no idea what he's trying to do. He's getting

765
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: up there and taking every first pitch strike. It seems

766
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: like down the cock of the plate doesn't swing at it,

767
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: and then he gets like a pitch like highind inside

768
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: or low and outside, and he kind of flails at

769
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: it fouls it off. He hasn't jumped on one hanging

770
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: pitch what seems like at all. This year we're getting

771
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: the old Dom Smith before he learned how to sleep

772
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: where it's just like he's just a little not quick enough.

773
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: He's not sharp. I think that's the best way he

774
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: describe it. He's just not sharp at the plate at all,

775
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: and we need him to wake up.

776
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: It seemed like last year he was adept at getting

777
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: into a good hitting situation. They were consistently men on

778
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: base in front of him, and he always found himself.

779
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: I feel like statistics might not bear this, but I'm

780
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: just taking a field thing some things I saw. He

781
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: always seems to find himself in a hitters count, and

782
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: he always seemed to capitalize when he got pitches to hit.

783
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 2: This season, he has not done either of those things.

784
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: He's not hit his pitches to hit, and he always

785
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: feels behind in the count. He seems a little slow, lethargic.

786
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: Something just seems wrong with him right now.

787
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: Edge and the fun Dom Smith that we've had in

788
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: the past. Feels like it's like just gone again. It

789
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: feels like he's back to being like a rookie, very quiet,

790
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: very timid. He's not aggressive at all. I need to

791
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 1: see the aggressive dom Smith back, at least for Lindor.

792
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: I still think his his bats are okay. I still

793
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: think he's working the count. I still think he's getting

794
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: on base decently. But his left handed swing, which we

795
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit earlier, it seems like he's

796
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: early on outside pitches, laid on inside pitches. There's no

797
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: other way to describe it. Like he is so in

798
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: between lefty. I'm at the portum like fuck it just

799
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: hit right handed. At this point, you can figure it

800
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: out because it's been so bad.

801
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: Can I drop a disgusting statistic on your head right now?

802
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: Hit me? The Mets have eighty three less total bases

803
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: than the next lowest team in baseball.

804
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: Who's the next lowest team? Yes, the Tigers.

805
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: No, Tigers are actually near the middle of the pack

806
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: in total bases. The team is actually not the middle

807
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: of packs.

808
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: The Nationals.

809
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: No, who gets no hit every week? Oh the Mariners, Yep,

810
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,239
Speaker 2: that's the one. Mets West, Mets West, so yeah, Met

811
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: Kelly Mets West has five hundred and sixteen total bases.

812
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: The Mets have four hundred and thirty three total bases.

813
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: And granted we played less games, but also we're starting

814
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: to catch up a little bit here.

815
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: No, the less games thing doesn't matter for eighty total

816
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: I don't even know if the Mets have had a

817
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: game this season whether he had eighty total bases.

818
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's it's gonna be so rough offensively. Game three,

819
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: you can see like we just don't want to talk

820
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: about it because fuck it, it was a terrible game. Giordaniyamamoto,

821
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure is a really nice guy, but boy does

822
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: he stink. He is. I seriously, I wish the best

823
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: for him. Hang out in Syracuse, do whatever you want.

824
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: I can go my entire life with never seeing him

825
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: put on the Mets uniform again. He wanted to do

826
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: something again. You talk about like trying to do too much.

827
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: He wanted to beat the Marlins. The Marlins caught him

828
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: the Marlins. You know, he probably felt like didn't get

829
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: a fair shot, even though he very much did. He

830
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: just doesn't have it. He was trying to do great,

831
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: and the first inning was okay. But as he got

832
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: later into the game. I think it was a second

833
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: inning where he kind of fell apart. He just doesn't

834
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: have good enough stuff you can take because nothing particularly

835
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: comes in fast or moves a lot, so you can

836
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: just you see it and you can spit on it

837
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: because it's not very difficult to understand what's coming at you. Like, yes,

838
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: he has six pitches, but they're all not good. He

839
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: just he tried to do too much. There was a

840
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: chopper and I know you're gonna go down into the

841
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: breakdown of him, but there was a chopper with the

842
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: bases loaded that Brandon Drury could have fielded, and he

843
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: could have gotten it out. You didn't have the guy

844
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: at the plate. There was no shot. Yamamoto was like

845
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 1: a cat off the mound. But then tried to make

846
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: this crazy throwt a home plate. He had no chance.

847
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: He was saved by twenty feet. Even if he made

848
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: this play, We've seen one guy do it. It's Marcus

849
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: Stroman was one of the best fielding pitchers in the league.

850
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Ylmoto is not that. So he then gave up

851
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: the run. Still nobody out. Are still no outs then,

852
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: and then they got a ground ball Don made a

853
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: great play through to second. Lindor got it. Lindor made

854
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: it throw it a first, which Ron said was not good.

855
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: But if you watch the replay, it hit Yamamoto literally

856
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: in the heel of his hand, his wrist on his

857
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: glove hand. It hit him like hip level, So it

858
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: wasn't even like it was a bad throw. I guess

859
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: he has to come over, run, get on the base,

860
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: catch it whatever. Lindor might have thrown a little behind him,

861
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: but it still hit him relatively close to where his

862
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: glove was. He just missed it. I know, like that's

863
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: not really his fault, Yamamoto. It's nobody's fault. You just

864
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: got to make the play at some point. But I

865
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: lit Yamamoto. Man, I've had enough. I really don't need

866
00:33:59,000 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: to see him ever again.

867
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we'll see him more because he's the depth.

868
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: He is the guy who's gonna throw some pitches when

869
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: we need pitches. But he just the stuff just isn't there.

870
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: How many how many walks did he have to today?

871
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: Because like it's just.

872
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 2: Two walks, two strikeouts, But that's gonna be the Yammo,

873
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 2: the special, even though he's supposed to have command supposed

874
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: to be a control guy.

875
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: He does.

876
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 2: He just think that Yammoto can't do. I talked about

877
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 2: this briefly earlier in the year when he had that

878
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: nice out of thing. I think it was in Saint Louis.

879
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: I believe Louis, Yeah, Saint Louis. He needs to mix

880
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 2: his pitches. Today, Yammo tho through a variation of a

881
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 2: fastball for fifty five out of seventy three pitches.

882
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: And that feels like to me, Yammo are trying to

883
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: be like big dick guy and be like, I'm gonna

884
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: throw my ninety two mile an hour fastball by you,

885
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: and that's just not physically possible to live.

886
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: He's got one up to ninety four and could have

887
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: been the hardest ball he's ever thrown his career, but

888
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 2: it's just it's just it's not gonna happen. The guy

889
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 2: got six whiffs on thirty six swings. Thirty six swings

890
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: on seventy three pitches is nuts. That's crazy. That means

891
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: they're very high number.

892
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: They're keened in. They're like, this pitch, I want to

893
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: hit it.

894
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: It's fat. And I bet they did want hit because

895
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 2: they know the guy well. They're completely aware that he's

896
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: an avid meatball lover. I they'll know if he eats

897
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: and die down Italy during that most SEMs to be

898
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: a big fan of the Met Paul.

899
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: He uh, he's just not good. And I don't really

900
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: want to shoot on the guy too much more because

901
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: I feel bad. I feel like his his wife made

902
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: a tweet like Mets fans being assholes. That's not cool.

903
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: Don't come at the wife. Don't come at the guy personally.

904
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: You can objectively say he stinks as a player without

905
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: being like, I fucking hope you know this happens, and

906
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff like take it easy. Even

907
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: with you on Moto pitching a flawless game, we probably

908
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: still don't win this game. We scored one run, one

909
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: run against Cody Potit, who again didn't look terrible, but

910
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: it's still Cody Potit, John Curtis, and Anthony Bender. I

911
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: think who pitched in like the Frontier League last year

912
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: or wherever the hell he came from. There's no reason that,

913
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: like an actual Major league baseball team only scores one run,

914
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: but this team, I get it.

915
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: Bender's kind of nice. Bender was my runner up for

916
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: Marlin to watch if I'm being honest with you, I

917
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 2: kind of like Anthony Bender. He's got stuff and Poti

918
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 2: looked fine. Like twenty six year old rookie wh has

919
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: been bouncing around. He was a mid I think many

920
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: late round draft back. He gets up to ninety five,

921
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: mixes four pitches like that, will play most of the

922
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 2: time in the National League. Like, he's not bad. I

923
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: don't think he's good. He shouldn't be. He's not gonna

924
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: shut down the Braves. He's not gonna shut down a

925
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 2: healthy cadres No. Yeah, the Mets team of full strength,

926
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 2: but the bigger issue here and I we could we

927
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: could talk more about this game, but there's some things

928
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: I have to say about the team. I don't know

929
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 2: how this is getting better anytime soon.

930
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, especially like JD got scratched today

931
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: in Syracuse for a stiff neck because I guess they

932
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: didn'tive him good enough pillows, because fuck the Mets. Why not?

933
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: Nimo talked about nerve damage and his finger. We don't

934
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Alonzo. No word on McNeil

935
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: or canford o nothing, no.

936
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: But they gave word today that the word is no word.

937
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cool, sick.

938
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: And it has only been a week since those two guys,

939
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: which is crazy, it's only been a week. Those two

940
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 2: guys both strained their hamstrings because Nimo had McNeil had

941
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: a cramp and we're not gonna we're not gonna rest him.

942
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: We gotta get him something at that still with us.

943
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 2: How stupid that was probably back right now if he

944
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 2: just played the DL when io and immediately happened. And

945
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: then Nimo had such a funny quote when they were

946
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 2: asking about his finger. They were like, there's a pretty

947
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: particular like there's a specific science terms, what's going on

948
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: in my nerve? I don't really know what we know.

949
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: Brandon was not a big science guy. Based on what's

950
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: been going on for the last couple of months here,

951
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: we were aware of that. So don't worry, Brandon. You

952
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: don't have to reiterate that you don't like science.

953
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he makes it very obvious he's not a huge

954
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: science guy. But no, I guess, like the saving grace

955
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 1: of this game is that Robert someone looked really good again.

956
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: Three innings, two strikeouts, one hit. That's gonna be Robert

957
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: Casalmon line. You see, he's not gonna strike out the world.

958
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: Now, why don't we just give him the shot over

959
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: Jordan Yamamoto. I kind of think that Gazumin right now

960
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 2: is in a mental space where he is good coming

961
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: out of the pen, you know, So I don't really

962
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 2: want to screw up his routine and bring him out

963
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: to start the game, because feel like he has a

964
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 2: mode right now. He's another bad bye language guy where

965
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 2: things go poorly. Sometimes he's been known to like scoff

966
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 2: or like sink his shoulders a little bit. But the

967
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: guy like gets off contact. He's gainst some whiffs like

968
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 2: he's getting. He got that sinker up to almost ninety

969
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: six miles an hour today. Same with the fastball.

970
00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,479
Speaker 1: That's nice, that.

971
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 2: Plays because if kazell Ma can do that for a

972
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: couple of innings at a time, he is valuable. We

973
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: can use that. And just I wish these innings would

974
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: have gone to tom As Zupuki, where it seems like

975
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: now at this point probably tested positive for COVID.

976
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: No, he pitched today, what? Yeah, he pitched in Syracuse

977
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: either today or last night. You didn't see this hitting me?

978
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me, let me, let me pull this up. Yeah,

979
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: he had a great start, and I think, why the

980
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: fuck was nam Zupuki? Let me look this up. Zapooki

981
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: struck out five and four innings in Triple A Syracuse

982
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: last night. Topped out at ninety five miles per hour.

983
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: His era and the miners through thirteen innings is two

984
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: point seven to seven, and the manager says, this guy

985
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 1: is major league ready. Where's the disconnect there? Shout Jacob Resnik.

986
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: By the way, for that dude to beast minor league stuff,

987
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: go follow him.

988
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out Jacob bres Thanks, shout out Joe Demeyo

989
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: two Jacob n Jo. Have a new show going on

990
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: SNY Prospect Show. First episode is pretty good. Check him out.

991
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 2: Why is he not in the major league? He should

992
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: be here next time around.

993
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: He has to be. He has to be.

994
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 2: But again, the other problem is happening with this team

995
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: is that we are going to get pitching reinforcements back

996
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 2: within the next two weeks. It seems like Lugo gonna

997
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: return to the Mets the first day is eligible, and

998
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: cynder Guard seems to possibly be on track to do

999
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: that too. Where worse the first week of June. Yeah,

1000
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: which is crazy, but the Bats are not going to

1001
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 2: be doing that Neimo is still gonna need the rehab assignment. Pete.

1002
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: I'm hoping it comes back after the minimum time, but

1003
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 2: there's been mom on him. JD. I don't know what's

1004
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: happening there, but conform though McNeil are coming back for

1005
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 2: a while.

1006
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like at least until June.

1007
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 2: I would I would assume that we're not gonna see

1008
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 2: those guys till the All Star Break.

1009
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say that because I want to

1010
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: be positive, but I think that's in the back of

1011
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: my head that the fact that there has the news

1012
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: is that there is no news is not good bad news.

1013
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: So we have to start thinking about what's gonna happen here.

1014
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: Who's gonna play because you know, Janeeshawly I think can

1015
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: stay on the team. Khalarly, little spark public. But let's

1016
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: be honest, Khalarly should be getting at bats in Triple A.

1017
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: Dude's just straight up not ready for the Major League

1018
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: baseball right now. Cameron Maybin, Please God, no, he's terrible.

1019
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's so bad. He's got a good glove,

1020
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: but we need bats. We need to score. The glove

1021
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: does nothing if we can't score runs and then like

1022
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: Brittany Drury whatever, Parazza I think should be back. Hopefully

1023
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: he's not on the il from getting hit in the calf.

1024
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: That would be insane without just any confusion, Yeah, Mets

1025
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: season if anything, well, fraidle Tavar just he loves a

1026
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: good chopper with DFA j Hager who actually think like

1027
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: Swogan Actually, okay, bat I liked his at bats, but whatever,

1028
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: I guess he doesn't have a spot with this team.

1029
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll come back to the Mets when he

1030
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 2: passes through waivers and go back to Syracuse. I can't

1031
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 2: see any other team jumping on Jake Hager.

1032
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: Where in the world are we gonna get at bats

1033
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: from guys like I think I even mentioned to you,

1034
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: like this kid Jake Mangum, who is I think like

1035
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: a second or third round pick out of like Mississippi

1036
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: State or something a few years I think. And m Okay,

1037
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: I knew he was an SEC school that had like

1038
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: that dark you know, in the round color. But he's

1039
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: a guy who was raking in single A and they

1040
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: bumped him up to Binghamton now and I feel like

1041
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: he might possibly be on a fast track where if

1042
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: he continues to show this, you know, plus bat at

1043
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: the plate, he maybe he gets a call because the

1044
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: guys that were throw out there right now, it's just

1045
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: you can't keep doing this. We're getting lucky and keeping

1046
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: these games close because we're playing the Marlins and we're

1047
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna be playing the Rockies teams who stink. But when

1048
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 1: we actually start playing legit, legit Major League Baseball teams,

1049
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: the Mets have no chance.

1050
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 2: No, of course not. But also to go on Jank

1051
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 2: Mangum like he's twenty five years old, Like, if you're

1052
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: not annihilating single A twenty five years old, you probably

1053
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 2: should find a different profession.

1054
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: He also though like he's a little bit different too

1055
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: though because he did just knock at a season last year.

1056
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: Either that's true, but a four year college player in

1057
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: single A, like you should be destroying those people. Like

1058
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't hate the Mets. This is gonna sound crazy

1059
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 2: or like soapbox moment. I wouldn't hate the Mets to

1060
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: be more aggressive with some of the better prospects. I

1061
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: would be giving Francisco Alvarez, Mbrey Baby and possibly Ryan

1062
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: Marissio at Batson double A right now, just to see

1063
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 2: if it was possible that they could come to the

1064
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: major leagues and help this team. In the media future,

1065
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a six week stretch year with no offense.

1066
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: I don't unless the Mets make like a legitimate trade.

1067
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't know where positive at bats are coming from.

1068
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: I don't know where the runs are gonna come from.

1069
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: And even then, like the guys that they could go after,

1070
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: that's there's not a lot. Like I don't even think

1071
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: Chris Bryant's really available if we wanted to go crazy

1072
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: and get a legitimate third basement. I don't even know

1073
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: if he's available right now, and.

1074
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 2: He's having an MVP season, so we've cost a lot

1075
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 2: to get him.

1076
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: We'd probably have to get the top prospect, which I

1077
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: have no interest in doing, for half a season of

1078
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: Chris Bryant. No, So the Mets offense is in trouble.

1079
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: The pitching, like you said, that's coming back, it's gonna

1080
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: be fine. But this offense, we've got to find some

1081
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: players somewhere. There has to be some four A guys

1082
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: available that we can play somewhere.

1083
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: The Mets need a cathartic event. We need like we

1084
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 2: need to be touched by the graces of God right now,

1085
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 2: just to find some warm bodies to fill this lineup up.

1086
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 2: We have four games against the Rockies. We'll get into

1087
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: our preview right now. Then I think three against the

1088
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: d Backs and then Braves again dem Padres. So by

1089
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: the time that Brave series rolls around, we need to

1090
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: get our shit square the way. We got a week

1091
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: right now to figure this out. Find some competent baseball players.

1092
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: We need bat right now.

1093
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just can't continue to see Wilfredo Tavari camera

1094
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: maybe and get five at bats a game each. It

1095
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: just you can't win. You can't win a game with

1096
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: those guys hitting that much. You can't. It's not possible.

1097
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: Just can't happen. So let's talk Rockies because we can be,

1098
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, miserable about what the future of this team's

1099
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna look like, even though it's not the actual future

1100
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: of the team, it's just the immediate future. Rockies. What

1101
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: do we got with the Rockies? Who are the matchups?

1102
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: What are we looking at?

1103
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 2: We have our three actual starting pitchers taking them ound

1104
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 2: three days in a row right now, Peterson de gram

1105
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 2: Stroman for the first three games. No one on the

1106
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: Ledger for Thursday's noon game, which that's probably gonna be

1107
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 2: a shit show. A noon game with Joey Lukes is

1108
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: gonna be just wild. We're facing gomber a boy, chee

1109
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: Chi your mind, Marquez and Antonio Senzateela. Which if we

1110
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 2: couldn't hit those guys in Colorado with.

1111
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: Our offense at its best, what's.

1112
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: Gonna happen in Queens?

1113
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? I like it. We're gonna have to get played

1114
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: real fun baseball. I don't know how we're gonna do it.

1115
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: The one calling card with the Rockies thing with something

1116
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: we can, like, you know, hang our hats on. They

1117
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 2: have two wins on the road all season. They're two

1118
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: and seventeen outside of the Corus Field, which, even for them,

1119
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 2: that's deplorably bad. The Rockies at home road splits are

1120
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 2: even funnier this year than like most years past. Going back,

1121
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: the Rockies have always had crazy splits. They've always had

1122
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 2: decent offensive teams, Like this is the first year in

1123
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 2: ten years they haven't actually had an offense that people

1124
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 2: could be like, oh, that's a good offense. Maybe that

1125
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: can hold the Rockies up to a five hundred ball club.

1126
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 2: Not true. The Rockies have the lowest road oh ps

1127
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 2: in baseball by a lot. It's in the five hundreds.

1128
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 2: At home they're top five. Of course, yeah, of course, yeah, whatever,

1129
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 2: big difference. This team can't hit, so we need our

1130
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 2: best three pitchers to hold them down. Of course, we're

1131
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: doing the same thing that we said we shouldn't do

1132
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 2: and putting a lot. Actually I was wrong. We have

1133
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 2: Atlanta and then the Diamondbacks.

1134
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: Oh crap, we.

1135
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: Have Atlanta next weekend. Oh that's not good.

1136
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: That's not good.

1137
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 2: Shit, shit, I don't know that guy, get lucky, play

1138
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: littleague baseball, steal some basses, hit and runs. I don't know.

1139
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 2: Call some call some call some bullshit plays.

1140
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like all.

1141
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: These guys we mentioned who can't hit, they can run.

1142
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: We get based runners, guys like Mayben Tovar Fargas, we

1143
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 2: got vr Lindor. You guys have to be active on

1144
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 2: the base pass. We need to do the little things

1145
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: right to win these games. Scratch off a couple of

1146
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 2: runs and keep this awful off of Rockies offense at Bay.

1147
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: It makes even crazier that we beat the Braves, makes

1148
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: even crazier because they're actually playing good baseball.

1149
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 2: Now they're gonna probably get hot right about half, but

1150
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: twenty runs the other day.

1151
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, this these next few weeks are going to be really,

1152
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: really tough. Mets fans. You gotta stay strong. You gotta

1153
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: understand this is not the New York Mets team that

1154
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be, because on Twitter, I'm seeing a

1155
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: lot of people like this team's running out of time

1156
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: and jumping off buildings, get ready to you know, Kamakazi, Like,

1157
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: it's just you can't possibly look at this line up

1158
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: and think that this is indicative of what the team

1159
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be all season. We're gonna get our guys

1160
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: back at some point, they're going to be back. It's

1161
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: right now, it's damage control. We have to stay as

1162
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: close to five hundred as we physically can and keep

1163
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: it somewhat close. And then once the guys get back,

1164
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: we get the reinforcements, we are going to be more

1165
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: than fine. We've talked about this. We've seen the team

1166
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 1: when healthy, it's good. But when this team is as

1167
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: unhealthy as it is, sixteen seventeen guys on the IL,

1168
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: it's just not possible. And I think you even alluded

1169
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: to in a previous episode. This is also a thing

1170
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: that BBW did. This is a direct correlation to the

1171
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 1: guys that he got out of our organization that would

1172
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: be used right now. Like how great would it be

1173
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: to have like a Blake Taylor, a Kevin Smith, or

1174
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: like some of the guys that we trade for, like

1175
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: Keon Broxton. Like just some of these guys who would

1176
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: have been these four A players now are gone because

1177
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: we traded for guys that are no longer even on

1178
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: this roster.

1179
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if that guy whose last name rhymes

1180
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 2: with smellinick could come up right now.

1181
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been a little ice cold this year to start,

1182
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: but he's still a great player. Even where's Ryan Cordell?

1183
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: Where's Ryan Cordell?

1184
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: Where's Ryan Cordell?

1185
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: Friggin' call god?

1186
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 2: Even like Hereddio, who I was like, we should just

1187
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 2: get bring him back for free in the off seasons,

1188
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: actually playing good baseball with the Lanta Braves.

1189
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: Where's your boy, adam Engele? Can we give him a call?

1190
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: Is he still on the team.

1191
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:54,479
Speaker 2: I think he's actually injured.

1192
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: In the white size that fits in with the Mets,

1193
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: Like I love.

1194
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: The quadruple A guys. I've been looking up quadruple a

1195
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 2: guys my entire life because I was used to the

1196
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: Mets only signing quadruple ayas with the Wolpons. That's my forte.

1197
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: That's where I find that's where I find talent. We

1198
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: need some quadruple ayers right now to find a role

1199
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: of this team.

1200
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: Real, real thing. I think this would be the last

1201
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: thing we talked about before you go. Is the YAU

1202
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:14,959
Speaker 1: you think a legitimate option?

1203
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: If I was the GM, I'd say yes. The guy

1204
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: seems to be in shape, he seems to be to

1205
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 2: work out and hit. It doesn't seem like the Mets

1206
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: have any desire to bring him in. It would probably

1207
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 2: be a media firestorm given what's kind of with the

1208
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: Mets this offseason and what he does otherwise, like just

1209
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: his his accusations. Yep. I think though that the Mets

1210
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 2: really needed outfielder almost more than an infielder, which is

1211
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 2: shocking because they need both really badly. But we just

1212
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: don't have any reinforcements coming for a while, and I

1213
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 2: think that he could be useful, could.

1214
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: Be Yeah, It's it's gonna be tough. Lindor Tom Smith

1215
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: have to step up NDO side. Those guys need to

1216
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: be better if this mess team wants a chance, because

1217
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't know where we're finding offense from otherwise.

1218
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: So I have no idea. These next few weeks are

1219
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 2: gonna be tough, but lucky for you guys to get

1220
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: to listen to us.

1221
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 1: After every series. Oh my god, I realized didn't plug

1222
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 1: the Twitter, the Instagram, Spotify, Apple podcasts.

1223
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 2: Earlier content today. Yeah, we were jumping.

1224
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: I was jumping, but I'll do it now since we're

1225
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: wrapping up the episode here. Follow us on Twitter and

1226
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: Instagram mets up. You can find us on YouTube. There

1227
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,000
