1
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: What is Up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: of the Mets the Podcast. Another sweep. I love. I

3
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: love a nice sweep, and especially when you play what

4
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: could be the worst team in Major League Baseball history,

5
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: in the Colorado Rockies, it's nice to just simply take

6
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: care of business. Friday was a little bit dicey, a

7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: little bit hairy at times, but they got the win.

8
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: And then Saturday and Sunday there was not an ounce

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: of worry. There was not a second of doubt. The

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Mets of caresiness business and beat this shit out of

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: an awful team. So we're gonna go over all this stuff.

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: We're not gonna give the Rockies an ounce past this.

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: We're just gonna talk about the Mets because there's nothing

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: to talk about on the other side. And with the Mets,

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: there were a lot of really cool and interesting things.

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: So we'll go through all the games. We'll go through

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: all the cool stuff as we always do. Remember to

Speaker 1: probably CODEI Senga, right, I mean, this guy's just kind

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: of so good.

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: Objectively, Friday was an amazing baseball game, Keith said tons

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: of times on the broadcast. I know a lot of

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: Mets fans don't want to call like a stressful game

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: against what, like you said, might be the worst team

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: in the history of baseball, like a good game. But

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: it was a great game. Like there was tons of

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: tense moments, there was drama, there are multiple players at

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: the plate, there were big hits on both sides, like,

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: there was good duels, there was good defense. Like that

34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: was a great game. But did start with Sanga, who

35
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: after that game on Friday and now has the lowest

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: R in the National League, which is incomprehensible to say.

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: And just somehow he just continues to keep getting away

38
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: with it, finding his way into trouble then every single

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: time getting his way out of it.

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: I think we were talking about it yesterday on Saturday

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: when we're at the bar, because we were talking about Code.

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: I we like, this guy really is just such a

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: freak and he's going on, I'm gonna pull up the

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: tweet here about like consecutive starts in a row with

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: three earned runs or less, and I think he's going

46
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: on thirty in a row, which is kind of insane,

47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: and that there's only a couple.

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: Guys since twenty twenty three.

49
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, since twenty twenty three, basically that he's gone in

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: a row where he's allowed three or less earned runs.

51
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find the tweet exactly. But at some point,

52
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: like when do we start talking about code I Sanga

53
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: like we do other like top pitchers in baseball. I know,

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: like on this podcast we've talked about that things haven't

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: been perfect yet for code I, like he's not pitching

56
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: his best and this is what's happening, is he just

57
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: simply like one of the fifteen to twenty best pitchers

58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: in baseball, he.

59
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: Also keeps doing it in different ways. There's something I've

60
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: really tried to harp on this season talking about code

61
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: I in this show, just because like this start on Friday,

62
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: Coda through the highest rate of ghost forks he's ever

63
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: thrown to start his career at forty seven percent.

64
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: Got the stat by the way, Yeah, the most consecutive

65
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: starts of three earned runs are fewer allowed in Mets history.

66
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Courtesy of Matthew Searle, and he said, Jacob de Gram

67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: forty twenty nineteen, twenty twenty two, Jacob mur Graham thirty one,

68
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen, Codei Sanga twenty twenty three

69
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: to present, twenty nine starts in a row of three

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: earned runners or fewer. That is tied for Doc Goodin

71
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: with the third most ever in Mets history. That's insane.

72
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 2: That's insane. Again, this is also different every single time.

73
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: This was only the fourth, is it the fifth? With that,

74
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: it's the April twenty fifth, the fifth time in Codi's

75
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: career where the ghost fourth was most thrown pitch in

76
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: a game, and again the most he's ever thrown in

77
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: one game of forty seven percent. And the Rockies were

78
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: still just flailing at it left and right, fourteen swings

79
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: and misses on it. And he used it to get

80
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: out of a lot of jams, because there were a

81
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: lot of jams for Koli runners reached base every inning, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,

82
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: and the guy's score position for half of those. There

83
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: was a major magic to get out of that. That

84
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: leadoff triple by Ryan rithers together that with nowhere in

85
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: runs in the fifth that was when the game was

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: early one. That thing greatble to have a pee Lonzo

87
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: at first base, but also ways game started a great

88
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: note from game. This was the first time a Met

89
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: had ever retired the first seven batthers and game in

90
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: course field since the Mets have been playing games in

91
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: Colorado Soga, it's just there's always like multiple starts inside

92
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: of kode I sanga starts they can like fuse together

93
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: into one. But it's just it's so cool to see

94
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: the way he operates and to see the way that

95
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: he sees the game seed Like he's such a fun

96
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: pitcher to watch, especially in a game like this where

97
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: it did feel tense for most of this game message

98
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: score run until the seventh inning, like if they if

99
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: he would have let some of those innings get out

100
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: of hand, And again there were guys on base, third, fourth, fifth,

101
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: and six guys running for runners in scoring position for

102
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: like half of that time, Like this might not be

103
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: a game you're actually able to pull through the end

104
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: and win, because it was a game where you won

105
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: on the margins. So it's he's become the ace of

106
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: the staff. I think a couple saying that now like

107
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: he's definitely the guy, Like he's the stopper every fifth

108
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: day you could rely on Koda saying giving you a

109
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: very very good start. And it even makes a bittersweet

110
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: looking back based on the things this team was able

111
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: to do last season without him, because now seeing how

112
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: it is with him, that he's actually really somewhat been

113
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: the lynchpin of this team. As we have the best

114
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: record in the National League now sitting here on June ninth,

115
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: and you guys listen to this podcast every Happy six ninth.

116
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: To everyone out there, it is just he's the He's

117
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: the guy right now. We said this going into the season,

118
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: like if you got to tell me who's the most

119
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: important met I know it's a very easy argument for

120
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: Pee Lonzo bas On Ways not to play. But besides Pete,

121
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: who's actually putting up real league MVP numbers. It is Codasanga.

122
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been immensely, immensely valuable to this team, to

123
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: this staff. What he's been able to do in his

124
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: sixty eight innings of pitching so far this season has

125
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: been incredible. Again, he has the lowest r in the

126
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: National League, the best ERA plus in the National League.

127
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: He's striking guys out. He's going six innings into games,

128
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: which is so massive with this team in this bullpen

129
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: every game, I really think, especially because how last year

130
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: was with him where he came back late and then

131
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: the playoff production was a little bit sketchy because of

132
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: course he came back and just was thrown into the playoffs,

133
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: like hey, pitch beginnings, people started to doubt him a

134
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: little bit, and maybe even ourselves included going into the season.

135
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: But he has been so incredibly good. He keeps us up.

136
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the All Star team for the

137
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: Mets without doubt.

138
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: He could be the second or third guy in that game,

139
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: depending on how the day's work out. There's also career high

140
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: in pitches throw for COVID one hundred and nine. And

141
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: this was right after when he got through that sixth

142
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: inning again, fought through trouble, got through it right after

143
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: a top of the sixth inning when it was one

144
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: of the worst Met sequences I think of the entire season,

145
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: where the bases were loaded for the trio, the ones

146
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: who were once upon a time dubbed the Baby Mets.

147
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: In Brett Baty Francisco Alvarez, Rynan Marizio Baby did get

148
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: kind of screwed on two pitches that were rather the

149
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: strike zone. But Baty, Alvarez and Marisio in a game

150
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: where being shut out by the Rockies and course field,

151
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: all three of them struck out with the bases loaded,

152
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: and that was that was a low point. I do

153
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: credit give a lot of credit for Code for coming

154
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: back out at the bottom of that inning, shutting down

155
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: the Rockies again, and that being the little piece momentum

156
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: that set the table for pe Lonzo to have to

157
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 2: go ahead double in the seventh.

158
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, thankfully for Beatty. He's playing such good defense in

159
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: the field right now. But it is funny how like

160
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: I know he hit the home run on Sunday, but

161
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: as soon as he gets a little bit of playing

162
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: time consistently we've mentioned that gout a couple of times.

163
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: He was like, can't hit anymore, won't do it? Not interested?

164
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: As soon as there's a little bit and even on Sunday,

165
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Ronnie Mauricio Saturday maybe the best game of his season

166
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: so far. On Saturday. Yeah, Brett Baty hits a home

167
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: run on Sunday. It's like you just gotta you gotta

168
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: get him a little bit uncomfortable, and all of a sudden,

169
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: Brett Baty like wakes up. He's like, oh shit, that's right,

170
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I have to earn the spot again.

171
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: And we warned that the Brett Baty cole inevitable cold

172
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: strug was going to come again just because of how

173
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: low his end zone contact right it is and how

174
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: low his walk rate is and the strike rates still

175
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: being relatively high. The one thing that's amazing to me, though,

176
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: as the Mets try to work through this, I'm gonna say,

177
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a logjam, but by uh, I don't.

178
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: It's a fun it's a fun talent predictaiment. The Mets

179
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: had to kind of figure out on the fly with

180
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: a good team if any of these guys are really

181
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: good enough to stick and be starters for a long time.

182
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: It's cool that, as Carlos Mendez is making these decisions

183
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: day and day out, that Ronnie's the guy's playing third

184
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: base and Brett Batty's the guy's playing second base. Like

185
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: that's a kind of incomprehensible thing to think about. If

186
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: you just went back a year to think where these

187
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: think about where these Mets guys were and now where

188
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: they are.

189
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it says a lot about how the Mets view

190
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Brett Batty. I'm not gonna talk about him as a hitter,

191
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 1: but as a baseball player, as a guy in the field,

192
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: They're like, this guy feels like Carlsman. Doz thinks he

193
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: can kind of put him anywhere at this point and

194
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: he'll be comfortable that, Like you said, playing him at

195
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: second base over Ronnie, when Ronnie's been playing second base

196
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: in the minors and might have gone into this year

197
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: maybe as a favorite to be the second base if

198
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: he was healthy, and Brett Baty's getting the reps there

199
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: while he's playing third base. Is something that I did

200
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: not have on my BINGO card this season.

201
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: And Brett Baty this season in terms of OAA is

202
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: plus two a second base and plus two a third base.

203
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: He's plus two is second base and about a third

204
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: of the total attempts.

205
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a goal glow like a legitimate goal

206
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: Glove finalist for utility right now.

207
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: Yes, like that that's where he's gone. So that's how

208
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: he keep saying, Bret Baty, he could just hit enough

209
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: to be league average, like that's changed everything for him.

210
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: I mean Ronnie does too, and we saw the tools

211
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: before we talk more about Ronnie. Just a quick mention

212
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: to Francisco on Dor on Friday Night being the hero

213
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: with a broken toe coming off the bench and being

214
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: just lacing a double in the ninth inning to take

215
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: the lead, then immediately getting the call going back into

216
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: the duckout with that same broken toe. It's just he's

217
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: That was such a cool moment as a fan because

218
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: we were a little worried going after the last episode

219
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: by Francisco Lindor, and we were both advocating being like,

220
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: not a bad time, Just chill out, man, just take

221
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: a couple of days off, stay off that foot. And

222
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: he's like, fuck that like a Francis G. Lindor like

223
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: I play. And there was also a conversation happening on

224
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: Sunday with Gary Keith about the door one starting for

225
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: a second game in a row, but two playing continuing

226
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: to play the field, playing short stuff on that broken

227
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: toe and hitting lead offense, like you know, you figured

228
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: he would just take a day at the age like

229
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: DH spot's rotating right now, you might as well. And

230
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: Keith's like, ay, he's if he's gonna play. He's going

231
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: to play. You gotta play both sides the ball if

232
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: you're going to play. And he's I don't know, he's

233
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: it's it's awesome. How it's just so cool, how good

234
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: he is, such a dog.

235
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the kind of stuff that made

236
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: us so excited about Francisco Indoor all those years ago

237
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: and the Mets initially brought him in. He is one

238
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: of the best players in baseball. He is unbelievably clutch.

239
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: He plays every single day. He it's it's almost hard

240
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: to get him to not play a game. Like you said,

241
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: he broke his toe and he was like, get me

242
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: still broken, get me in. It's still broken. It's like,

243
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: get me in the game. We need a big hit.

244
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: I got you hold my beer. I hear his music.

245
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: Oh here he is. Francisco Lindor comes up, hits the

246
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: double down the line, and then also Pete Alonzo. What

247
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: a slide. What a slide by Pete in this game too.

248
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: That was incredible. It's it's really really nice to see

249
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: the full scale of like now where Francisco Lindor is

250
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: in terms of like the Mets fan base and how

251
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: he's ingratiated himself as just one of the great Mets

252
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: of all time already.

253
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Which is crazy to think about, because also we got

254
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 2: this weekend just to make Mark and James and the

255
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: rest of the Mets fans out there feel old. It's

256
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: like Pee Lonza passing David Wright and yeah, home runs,

257
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: that's fucked up thing. We're gonna talk about Peel lot

258
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: more later on. Amazing even looking at Francisco lindor Is

259
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: stat line right now, we're just a bit more than

260
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: a third of the way through the season, about forty

261
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: percent of the way through, and notorius slow starther has

262
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: fourteen homers, thirteen stolen bases. Two of those bases he

263
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: stole on Saturday with the broken toe, and a two

264
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: eighty three fifty four ninety triple slash for and eight

265
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: for the ops. Like that's those are nearly those are

266
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: slightly better than the stats he ended last season with.

267
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: And last season we were all like, this is one

268
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: of the best seasons this guy's entire career. So it's

269
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: cool at thirty one years old. Right after I talk

270
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: about being a bit worried about his progression. Incredible, how

271
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: amazing he hits, But I want to talk about Ronny Racio. Now, yes,

272
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: I think that there's a fun discussion I have here

273
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: because in Ronny Mariso's four games since he's gotten called up,

274
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: we've had the entirety of the Ronnie Maricio experience where

275
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: he went over eleven bang off the bat after getting

276
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: called up, and then finally Friday night, he breaks through

277
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: with a rocket to left center field where it looks

278
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 2: like it's twenty five rows deep, stares at it from

279
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: home plate, but of course corus Field, being the league

280
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 2: with the most of the biggest outfield in baseball, it

281
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: was a home run twenty nine at thirty parks to one,

282
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: not home not home run being cors Field. Ronnie winds

283
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: up sauntering in the second base of the double. We

284
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: don't drive him in, but then you kind of feel

285
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: the confidence building. Then he goes ape shit and nuclear

286
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: Saturday night, it's one of the longest home runs ever

287
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: seen him by life, four hundred and fifty feet into

288
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: the third deck of the right field stands in Colorado.

289
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: When he's lady, he clanks them off his hands at

290
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: their base. Then he has another really good game on Sunday,

291
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: and it's just like no matter what running Ritio becomes,

292
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: I know it's going to be fun to watch him

293
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: get there.

294
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: If you're one of those on the go people, or

295
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: you're skipping meals but you don't want to, there's got

296
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: to be a quicker solution. We've got one for you.

297
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 3: It's called Hwel. I'm going to take a swig. Cheers

298
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: to Hewel. This is the black edition, plant based as well.

299
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: Good for me. But what do you like about it?

300
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 4: I like the nutrition of it, and the replacement meal

301
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: is great for me someone always on the go, like man,

302
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 4: I can just grab one of these out of my fridge, lunch, breakfast,

303
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: whatever it takes, whatever meal I'm not gonna have time

304
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: to eat. It fills me up and it tastes great.

305
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: You know why, because it tastes like milkshake, ice cream,

306
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it. Whatever flavor you get

307
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 4: is delicious.

315
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: Well. This is like the kind of player that we

316
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: used to joke about all the time when we first

317
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: started this podcast at the metsinine more of like just

318
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: give me a guy who does elite, elite things, but

319
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: like maybe not that consistently, Like we'd be like, get

320
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: guys who had hit the ball hard, get guys who

321
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: run fast, get guys who throw hard, Like those are

322
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: all elite, elite things that it doesn't really matter how

323
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: much baseball you play. That's just something you either can

324
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: or cannot do. And Ronnie Mauricio does a lot of

325
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: those things. And like you said, when he booms, it's boom,

326
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: it's amazing, it's incredible, it's so good. What he busts,

327
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, okay, maybe not that phrasing either, but

328
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: three episodes, every single episode. But when Ronnie Maurisio's profile

329
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: is not the boom, it's the opposite of that. You're like,

330
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't really know what we're doing.

331
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: How do we handle this? Like where where is that player?

332
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the boom is so it's

333
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: such a high ceiling with that boom that. Now this

334
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: brings up the interesting conversation of who do you keep

335
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: on this roster because it's him. There's kind of five

336
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: guys all fighting for spots right now. Whenever Mark Vientos

337
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: gets healthy, he's one of them. But you have Vientos, Mauricio, Baty,

338
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: Acunya Starling Marte, which sounds insane because one of those

339
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: is not like the other, but that truthfully what it is.

340
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: And it's like if Mauricio and Beaty are the choice

341
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: that pushes out Acuna and Vientos and Marte because maybe

342
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: well not necessarily all three of them, but then Viento's

343
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: becomes a DH guy, so then him and mar Terr

344
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: fighting for it. Marte's hitting better than Viento's is and

345
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: has all season long. He deserves that playing time. Like

346
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: this is a fun problem, I guess to have, but

347
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: also something that we I think have to get very

348
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: very like locked in on soon here because it's coming

349
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: up when Vento's gets back healthy. There is a legitimate

350
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: roster crunch problem with guys who are all major league

351
00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: baseball players.

352
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, glud, but I do still think we have more

353
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: time until Vantos gets back healthy. I mean, I don't,

354
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: I don't. I think he's there's no base activity to

355
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: no baseball activity for two weeks than probably ten day rehabitide,

356
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: which probably not why probably fourth of July when we

357
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: can expect Mark Vantos back. But that is enough time

358
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: for where there's this combination, mostly because it's always gonna

359
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: come down to player options. You're not getting nothing's going

360
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: to happen in Starr, say Mark Vantos, They're gonna be

361
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: on this team all year, no matter what. Shout out.

362
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: Shout out Billy Upler for the for losing Mark Fanto's

363
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: first option year. We definitely didn't have to do that.

364
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: But it's going to really come down to Acunia and Mauricio,

365
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: and both of these guys are boom and bust, and

366
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: they give you very different skill sets, but also guys

367
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: who can very easily get either super hot or super

368
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: cools very quickly, like we've seen with both of them already,

369
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: like we've seen with Barisio and under a week of

370
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: Major League baseball.

371
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we saw Cunya last year carried the

372
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: Mets when Lindor went down for a week. The rare

373
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: time Acunia saved the season. There's no doubt we were

374
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: not in the playoffs, so that luisann Helocunya stepping in

375
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: playing shorts up like he did hitting home runs. But

376
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: he's been horrible this year. He's not been good, especially

377
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: over the last month. The numbers are shockingly bad. His

378
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: ops starts with a five. Now, like that's that's not

379
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: playable at the rate that he wasn't, especially with how

380
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: well Jeff McNeil's playing, It's tough to get a guy

381
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: like that in the lineup as much as he needs

382
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: to be in the lineup.

383
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: And the Mets in Sunday's game definitely wanted to get

384
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: Ryan Riso in the lineup because HEDHD so. Now this

385
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: in a three game series against Colorada Rockeys, Ryan Risio

386
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: played three different positions. He played shortstop, third base DH,

387
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: which is rare that someone will play shortstop and also

388
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: DH within a three game stretch. But again, this is

389
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: the Ryan Risio experience and something else cool that happened again.

390
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: We love the four hundred and fifteen foot double, We

391
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: love the four hundred fifty foot home roun one hundred

392
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: ten miles an hour. We love that he had another

393
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: lay single in this game on Sunday, him drawing two

394
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: walks is what's going to be the important thing. Ryan Risio.

395
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: The whole problem is that while it's some of the

396
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: best physical tools in baseball, I'll go out there and

397
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: say that because there's not that many six foot five,

398
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: two hundred pound am millions who can actually play, who

399
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: can handle middle infield with cannons for arms when they

400
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: connect with the ball, Because four hundred fifty feet, it's

401
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: just still going to be some of the worst swing

402
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: decisions we're going to see, which is the similar issues

403
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: sometimes when he's going poorly to Luis and Helicunya. But

404
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: if Runn Mariso can have any growth whatsoever in that area,

405
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: which he did in triple A while he was crushing

406
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: the ball. I know everyone's really excited about the production,

407
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: but it was still swing at everything out of strike

408
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: zone over forty percent chase right in the minor leagues,

409
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: which is untenable. That tells you could be about fifty

410
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: and it's been about forty through the games on Sunday.

411
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: Haven't updated for Sunday yet, but it's just he's on

412
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: that line where if you make enough contact you can

413
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: be a stud an actual He has star potential, I

414
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 2: think more so than these other guys, but the floor

415
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: is lower because when he's missing, he misses everything, and

416
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: pictures kind of take advantage. And we saw him when

417
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: he was over eleven swing at every single breaking ball

418
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: that was in a dirt against him. That's his weak spot,

419
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: soft stuff low in the zone. When he gets the

420
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: fastballs high, he'll murder them. But I have a funny

421
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: comp for running Riso as a switch hitting infielder who's

422
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 2: going to be a boom er bus power profile. Can

423
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: never see him running more in a three ten, three

424
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: fifteen on base percentage, And this player, I think, production wise,

425
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: can really mirror what Mauricio can do in appearance, not

426
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: even a little bit. Couldn't find a more opposite size

427
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: player in baseball. And this is one of your favorites.

428
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: Is gonna be crazy to say out loud. I didn't

429
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: tell you this bowling takes. I want you to say

430
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: this for the podcast live reaction ozsi Albi's whoa as

431
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: someone who gets a switch heeather not significally better from

432
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: the right as the left side. I'm pretty sure Maurisa

433
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: is much better from the right than the left. I'll

434
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: double check that now, think I remember that. But Ozsi

435
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: Albi's got through is a very productive player through the

436
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 2: middle of his career in a great lineup while only

437
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: running these three ten three h five on base percentage,

438
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: just never really had any advanced stuff. But the tools

439
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: were amazing and the power production for what he was

440
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: is amazing. And even though Mauricio is about a foot

441
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: taller than Azsi Alby's like that is that that is

442
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: the profile of player I see here and one that

443
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: I think can be an interesting an interesting path to

444
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: forge for him.

445
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean, shit, I love calling Ozzie Alby is overrated,

446
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: but I'll take him on my baseball team playing second

447
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: base every single day like he is a good player.

448
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: He has a ton of value. If Ronnie Maurrisio, in theory,

449
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: is ever like Ozzie Alby's mets are cooking, like we're

450
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: we're feeling really fucking good about that, that would be

451
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: an amazing scenario. I get what you're saying, though, Like

452
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: it is.

453
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: Just I think I think Maricio's plus might be opposite.

454
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: I think I was thinking about pitcher hands, not hither hands.

455
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: I think he's better as a left handed father against

456
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: right handed pitching, which is a much better split to

457
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 2: be good at correct. Yeahs all facing a much better

458
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: right handed hitter. Yes, that's which is a big problem

459
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: for the Albis right now. But I do think that

460
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: that's that's the best happily I think we can expect,

461
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: which is, yeah, that's what I'm saying. But like it'll

462
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: still be it'll still be the one ten WRC plus

463
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: it'll still be like the seven four of the Ops's.

464
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: But the path like we started this whole segment to

465
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 2: get there, will be the most fun pathway to a

466
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: seven fourth the Ops you could ever imagine.

467
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, four hundred and fifty foot home runs and flashy

468
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: plays and hitting nukes like that sounds fun to me.

469
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: Like we were watching a Saturday with our buddy Drew

470
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: shout out not the expert on YouTube. You gotta check

471
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: out the Panda series or Mark and Iris stars and

472
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 2: then the batting order there. But he was like, Wow,

473
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: that guy's a free who is that? It's like the

474
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: only reason Ryan Reso is not a football player because

475
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: he grew up in America, Like this guy could be

476
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: flacking down touchdowns up the sideline like he's that he's

477
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: that much of a freak and he got swag at

478
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: the dangly earring like he's smile and he's laughing, Like

479
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: there's so much here with Ryan Rizio, but it's going

480
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 2: to be such a long pathway to get to that,

481
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: just because of how bad the decisions are.

482
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: Should we talk about the other position battle right now?

483
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: On this team? That feels abtremely obvious. I love Francisco

484
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: Alvarez versus Louise Torenz Now. Alvarez hit a four hundred

485
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: and fifty foot home run today on Sunday, which was

486
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: nice to center field, but still not pulling the baseball,

487
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: still not getting almost any production out of him. He

488
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: did have a good day on Sunday, but still it's

489
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: just you watch him, and we've seen Alvarez when he's working,

490
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: we've seen when he's good, we've seen when he's right.

491
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: This is not something's wrong. Something's wrong with Francisco Alvarez.

492
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: And it brings up the question of when Luis Trenz

493
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: is playing as well as he is and Francisco Alvarez

494
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: is playing as poor as he is, especially with the

495
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: defensive prowess that Louis Torenz has Alfare has actually been

496
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: pretty solid this year, but trends is for sure better. Yeah,

497
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: we probably got to just play him more, right, I

498
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: think Torrenzo needs to be the starting catcher Brucee right now.

499
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: And I also don't think that's that's as dirty a

500
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 2: phrase as some Mets fans are making it out to be, Like,

501
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a disaster, like we say in

502
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: this podcast a lot. But truthfully, Francisco Alfarez shouldn't have

503
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: come to the major leagues when he did. I know,

504
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: we had that great rookie season twenty twenty three and

505
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: a totally wasted year where he hit the twenty five

506
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: home runs he hit. There are a lot of exciting moments,

507
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 2: and he dragged that ops two around seven hundred. But

508
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: looking back, it was it was so bizarre that for

509
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 2: him to be rushing this way because no other catchers

510
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: are even right now after the third year of his career,

511
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: still one of the youngest star of the catchers in

512
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: the league, cal Rawley has all the publicity right now

513
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: is becoming the best catcher, one of the best players

514
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: in baseball. Well, cal Raley was twenty three mark, you

515
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: know level he was playing at I'm gonna say, hi, yay.

516
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 2: He'd played thirty nine games at double A right before

517
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: the two twenty twenty seas was wiped away. And now

518
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: cal Raley and at what twenty eight twenty nine is

519
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: hitting his stride because catching is really fucking hard. And

520
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: I do think that Mets fans, baseball fans, sports fans

521
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: in general, even things are going well, you kind of

522
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: need a scapegoat, You kind of need the priet. You

523
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: just need something to complain about. So right now it

524
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: happens to be Francisco Alvarez, despite the fact that he's

525
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: still the youngest catcher in baseball. But I don't think

526
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: it should be a bad thing to say that maybe

527
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: he just now gets forty percent of the playing time

528
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: and Louis Trends get sixty right the other way around,

529
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: because how well the other guy's playing.

530
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: No, no problem with that. Fifty five to forty five,

531
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: like whatever it is. I think, Hey, yeah, I think

532
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: right now Torrens is hot, Trends is playing well. These

533
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: things will even out. There's gonna be a time where

534
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: Louis Trends does get cold, for sure, and he's You're

535
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: gonna be like, all right, Francisco Alvarez step in when't

536
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: given those opportunities. He needs to play better looking at

537
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: his swing again. It's so it's a disservice what Eric

538
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: Chavas has done to him and making him hit this

539
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: way and closing him. He can't pull baseballs. He's incapable

540
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: of pulling the baseball right now for any sort of power.

541
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: Even the hit he got the other night or the

542
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: other day, he like blooped it in because he kind

543
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: of got jammed, like he's not able to turn on baseballs,

544
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: and that's when he was at his best. His daddy

545
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: hacks he's late because he's he's got his shoulder closed off,

546
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: like I don't I don't know how. We're still trying

547
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: experiment with this failed batting stance and this horrible, horrible

548
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: hitting philosophy that he has.

549
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did a lot of battracking day the few

550
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: episodes ago, and we had the episode how to Fix Them.

551
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: That's hitting for Cis Quiver has. Attack direction has gone

552
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: from Paul with three degrees in the pole direction, which

553
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: is very normal. Mostly guys pull the ball, that's why

554
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: they attack and do the most damage. It's now seven

555
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: degree OPO that is just from peruising this never seeing

556
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: that leaderboard. It's one of the most extreme opo attack

557
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 2: directions I've seen for any hither and all baseball this year.

558
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: And you could see it very clearly that he has

559
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: a shorter swing, a slower swing, and he's just making

560
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 2: less it's worse quality of contact since twenty twenty three,

561
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: slow progression downwards. It's just it doesn't seem like it's

562
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: going to get better soon. I do hope that we

563
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: do know now that, as Anthony Dicomo so eloquently put it,

564
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: his partner is due for a baby soon. Hayden Sang

565
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: was with the team in Colorado. It looks like there's

566
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: a good chance that Alvarez misses a game or two

567
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: of this upcoming Nationals Series. So maybe just you know, again,

568
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: his partner having his partner having a baby that can

569
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: ease his mind a little bit, takes some stress off

570
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: his plate. We've seen this happen with guys like Francisco

571
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: and dr and Brandon Nemo in the past. Jeff McNeil,

572
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: when your partner is pregnant things are stressful. Has the

573
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: baby that's a huge load off your shoulders. Maybe we're

574
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 2: hoping that helps for Cisco whewed for us.

575
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could be stressed. We have no idea. Maybe

576
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: he's just like, oh my god, I'm so I'm so

577
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: worked up right now about this whole baby nonsense.

578
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and shout out all the people that were so

579
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 2: worked up over Anthony Tacomo's use of the word partner,

580
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 2: because this woman is not for ciscou oivers his wife.

581
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: We don't know if it's his girlfriend. And I applaud

582
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 2: Anthony Dicomo for not using the phrase baby mama in

583
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: his week's other option. There was the only other option there.

584
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: So I love, I love the people get pissed off

585
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: that stuff like that. Otherwise, just trying to wrap this

586
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: series up. I got to talk about Clay Holmes a little bit.

587
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 2: If we go back to Saturday. This guy is so

588
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 2: damn good. So two point nine to five VRRA in

589
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: the season, and he's gone six innings in seven of

590
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: his last nine starts. The only two he did not

591
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 2: complete six innings one of those that bullshit Nationals game

592
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 2: where they made a pitch for twenty minutes, having a

593
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 2: half hour rains away, and then that memorial they started

594
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: against the White Sox we clearly had nothing and got

595
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: taken out five to two thirs and he's with the

596
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 2: basis lowly for Budo, the clean up the Mets. So

597
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: it's just every time he goes out there, he gives

598
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: a great chance to win.

599
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: This.

600
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: Now back to back starts for Clay Holmes with no

601
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: walks after that White Sox game where the command was

602
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 2: erradic and really weird, especially being in Coors Field, because

603
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: we always know that going to course field that makes

604
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: breaking balls, especially move differently, moves less most often. So

605
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: the biggest game for his sliders all season. His sweeper

606
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: and his slider combined for sixty of ninety of his

607
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: total pitches between the two of them, fifteen whiffs and

608
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: really cool to see how much I'm talking about a

609
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: lot in the show. The gyro sliders come back over

610
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: his last few starts to be a real piece, real weapon,

611
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: something I thought coming into the season would be something

612
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: he used against left handed batters, didn't early, and I

613
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: guess in this start he didn't have much a feel

614
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 2: for the change up. So that slider came back and

615
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: it just had great downward actions. Darling blowed the zone

616
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: many times. It was awesome. To see how effective that

617
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: pitch was.

618
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: He's he's just a good pitcher, Like he is a

619
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: very very good starting pitcher. Shot David Searns, heffnerd Yeger's

620
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: everybody identifying him as a guy who would make a

621
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: good starting pitcher. The contracts looking phenomenal right now on

622
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: the pace that's at where we're getting seven of his

623
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: last nine start six innings. Like you said in eer

624
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: below three, he just went into course. The one weird

625
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: thing is he keeps giving up home runs and I'm

626
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: not really sure.

627
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: How I want to start exactly.

628
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: Gives up a home run to start, and like I mean,

629
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: there's solo shots pretty much, so it doesn't really do

630
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: that much damage. But he's really I feel very very

631
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: comfortable with him on the mound. Not something that I

632
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: ever expected to say in my lifetime. I feel comfortable

633
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: with Clay Holmes starting games for the New York Mets.

634
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: It's a shame you never listened to me, because I

635
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: was going I was incredibly comfortable from the second that

636
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: signing happened. But were you comfortable? Yes, I was super comfortable.

637
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: I was super confident. I was pumped about this and

638
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: this was actually this was the reports where I thought

639
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: we would see much more often from clay homes but not

640
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: to this extreme. But again that gyroslided, which we were

641
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 2: in the ballpark last week last Sunday against the Rockies,

642
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 2: I was like, damn, he's using that a lot. It

643
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: was seventy one percent of his pitches against left ended

644
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: batts in this game. Again, yes, he only threw twenty

645
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: four total pitches to lefties because I don't think the

646
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: Rockies have enough players to actually go for two advantages

647
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: and whatnot, So it was seventeen out of twenty four pitches.

648
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: But it's just it's cool that, similar to Code saying,

649
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: I really think that this is so much about the

650
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 2: types of pitchers that Mets went out and got this offseason,

651
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: what types of pitches they've gotten last U off season

652
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: that are willing to work with Jeremy Hathor and are

653
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: able to work in this way. That is very what's

654
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: the word I'm looking for here? Something starts with the

655
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: sea collaborative where you're willing to try new things into

656
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: in this star in that starts to see what works

657
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: and see what you're feeling to get through that game.

658
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: It's like every time these Mets Pitchers. Take them out,

659
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: we see something different that those wrinkles are incredible.

660
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: This one's easy for us to talk about. I'm a

661
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: huge fan of Hunger Root. They're delivering groceries that we

662

Speaker 3: where I'm like, ah, I'm not a big chocol putting fan.

00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: I'd love to.

688
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: Can I talk about my boy Jeff McNeil, talk about him?

689
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's so back, He's so back. I love

690
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: this new version of Jeff McNeil.

691
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: We'll say, did he ever leave?

692
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: Not really so lash? What well he did? Technically like

693
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: he left? He left for like a year, I would say,

694
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: because he did have like a shitty year in twenty

695
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: twenty three. He wasn't really playing that well. But twenty

696
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: four we know that the start of the season was poor,

697
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: the second half was great. Started the season in twenty

698
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: twenty four. First half. Where are these numbers? Real quick?

699
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: First half five ninety one ops, second half nine to

700
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: twenty three ops and forty one games. So far this

701
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: season he's got an eight eighty eight ops I think

702
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: as of right now, through one hundred and five at

703
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: bats on the season, and that's what thirty five games,

704
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: so his last eighty games or so, Jeff McNeil has

705
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: been a nine hundred OPS playing guy on the New

706
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: York Mets. And we know that that first half he

707
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: had that elbow injury from spring training, because remember the

708
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: big news with Jeff macnial and spring training was not

709
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: golfing as much anymore because he hurt his elbow. You

710
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: need to make sure that he didn't continue that. I

711
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: think that played into why he was playing so poorly.

712
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: He's just a really good baseball player, and I'm glad

713
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: that he's getting more playing time. I'm glad he's returned

714
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: back to playing well. This team is significantly better when

715
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: we have Jeff bnheil playing like he is every single day.

716
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: He's rocking like an OPS plus WRC plus like one

717
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: thirty five to one forty right now. That's immensely valuable.

718
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: Also amazing how much better Jeff McNeil's become over the

719
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: last few years. A swing a fewer pitches out of

720
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: the strike zone. Jeff nenils always just swing happy guy.

721
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: The pitch was near, he'd swing at and he'd find

722
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: a way to spotted place it and get it based it.

723
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: That's what made Jeff McNeil in the in the most

724
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: recent part of his career like such a successful player.

725
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: But that's not who he is anymore. Jeff McNeil is

726
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: now a guy that is refusing to swing a pitches

727
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: out of the strike zone, running by far the lowest chase

728
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: ray of his career, one of the lowest chase rationing

729
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: all of baseball. And he's done doing something too where

730
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: he's just, for lack of a better way, the phrase

731
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 2: is such a bastard in the box, like he is

732
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: such a tough at bat right now, Shit, that first

733
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: that bad against Chase Dolander. Today Sunday was the moment,

734
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: damn fouball over and over again, worked the ten pitch

735
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: at bad so he finally got the pitch you could

736
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: drive and just sent into the seats. And we got

737
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: a note from friend of the podcast, Matt Eddie and

738
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: then Chief Baseball perspect Us where he was like Baseball

739
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: America chiefs executive. Other Baseball America is Sunday night, big

740
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: day of bowling, and a rapist today the Knight's got

741
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: away from us here. But he was like, they don't

742
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: really foul off more balls th Jeff McNeil, I feel

743
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: like every single play it it's just foul ball, foul ball,

744
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: foul ball. And I went on Baseball spon Savan, I

745
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: actually found out for all players in baseball, seems at

746
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: least two hundred pitches this season, Jeff McNeil's the third

747
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: highest foul ball rate in the entire league and something

748
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: like twenty percent. It's like twenty four percent, which is

749
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: kind of shocking and hilarious. But Jeff McNeil this year

750
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: has been incredible at wasting pitchers pitches and just kind

751
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: of waiting till he can get his spot to be

752
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: able to pull a fly ball. Because that's the new

753
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: Jeff McNeil that we're seeing. He's almost doing like Curtis

754
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: Granderson shit right now, yes, where he's working these at

755
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: bats long at bats and he's getting the pitch that

756
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: he knows he can drive because he has to get

757
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: the pitch in that zone it's really be able to

758
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: get it out. And he's doing that well right now.

759
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: I know these stats, of course are padded by a

760
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: sensational series and course field, but that but that's what

761
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: series of course field are meant to do. Patrick Stats

762
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: a little bit, and Jeff use that to his advantage,

763
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: and now he's like he hit fifth on Sunday, Like

764
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: this is now suddenly a guy who's becoming a rum

765
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: producer in the middle of this line up, and deservedly so. Yeah,

766
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: especially when brand Neimo is still not completely back offensively

767
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: and we had you know, even Brandimos up to seven

768
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: to twenty OPI sure this is now he's just not

769
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: It's exactly where.

770
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: We want him to be. But he's sure fine right now,

771
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: he's completely acceptable. But Jeff rocking a fourteen percent walk great,

772
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: eight percent strikeout rate, that's stupid. Yeah, that's ridiculous. You

773
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: said he's not chasing. He's playing multiple positions for us. Granted,

774
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: like it may not be Gogle of defense anymore, it

775
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: may not be like the best hutterfielder, but he's going

776
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: out there and just being a productive player. And Mets

777
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: fans were so ready to get rid of this guy.

778
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: I remember all you idiots were yelling at me and James,

779
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: we like, Jeff McNeil, get him off this team. He's

780
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: a problem this and that, And we were banging the

781
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: drum hard all off season, like Jeff McNeill's not going

782
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: anywhere for two reasons. One the contract. Two he is

783
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: a good baseball player. The Mets know that he has

784
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: value to this team, and you see it's paying off

785
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah.

786
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: And then one more guy. I want to talk about

787
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: that after the series because again, while when you go

788
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: the chorus feels a great chance to pat your stats

789
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: and just a nice little peak to want So though

790
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: for a second, because Juan So though, after getting on

791
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: base six times on Sunday and getting on base, how

792
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: how many other times that Dodgers here, I think Bonso

793
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: has now been on base. It's nineteen times in six games. Here.

794
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: You talk, you talk, I'll get those numbers for you.

795
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: It's it's such a privilege again now to watch him

796
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: in these play appearances because there's just nothing that the

797
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: pitchers can do when he's going like this. And that

798
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: game on Sunday was like a perfect example of where

799
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: every single time that Wan Sola got a pitch outside

800
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: the zone, he didn't swing at it. Every single time

801
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: he got one in it he took a hack at all.

802
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: Three of the balls that want So to put him

803
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: play in this game were hit at least one hundred

804
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 2: miles And now rights of velosity and the other three

805
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: play appearances he took a walk. You know how crazy

806
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: this to be on base six times now even be

807
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: the one, like the third or fourth most important play

808
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: in your lineup that day, Like that's incredible. And the

809
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: fact that he was able to set up the bottom

810
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 2: of this mess lineup so well. And this has kind

811
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: of been a bit of the Achilles heel of the

812
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: Mess team this whole year. Not that bit of this

813
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: has been the Achilles heeled, but how productive this line

814
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: it can be five through.

815
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: Nine sixteen times by the way, since June tewond Yes,

816
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: so that was six games sixteen times. Yeah, he's had

817
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: twenty six at bats, so you know it's pretty good.

818
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. But the Mets score thirteen runs in a

819
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: game where they got zero RBIs from top three hitters

820
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: in that lineup, that's the great almost it's almost impossible

821
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: think about it, all of that star with Juan Solo

822
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 2: getting on base six straight played appearances and allowing Alonzo, McNeil, Mauricio,

823
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: even Taylor and then Baty and Alvarez to be the

824
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 2: guys who wind up cleaning up that mess and sending

825
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: him home like, that's that's what Wan Soa is. That's

826
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: when Jan Soda is doing his best. Shit, Like, that's

827
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: the reason that we were so damn excited he get

828
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 2: this guy in this line up, because even when he's bad,

829
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: he's good, and when he's good, he's great, and when

830
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: he's great, he's the best oather on fucking earth.

831
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. The June slash line looks incredible. Three forty six,

832
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: five sixty four on base, five sixty four on base.

833
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: He's on base fifty six percent of the time in

834
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: the month of June six fifteen slugging. That's the Wan

835
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: Soto experience and I love it.

836
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then a quick shout at the end of

837
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: this little series recap here Tyler and McGill, because again,

838
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: looks so good for a few winnings no hither through

839
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: four was striking out the world through the first two

840
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 2: and then a little Q shot double and you're like,

841
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 2: oh now, thing's just kind of getting out of hand,

842
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: and a little side spinder the peak couldn't corral. Just

843
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 2: please get through his fifth inning, man, get yourself to win.

844
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: Shout out, Paul Blackburn, Yeah four any safe, Yeah safe.

845
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: I also I listened to a little bit on the

846
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: radio today while I was I jumped in the shower.

847
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: I was doing some marin, so I had the radio

848
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: on shower. Keith Rat and Pat McCarthy. McCarthy, they did

849
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: a great job. But Keith was talking about He's like, well,

850
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: it's the second inning and you're already getting the full

851
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: ty Lord McGill experience. He's like, he struck out the

852
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: side in the first in the first inning, like it

853
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: was absolutely nothing, and in the second inning, what do

854
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, He's run into trouble somehow. He's like, I

855
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: don't know how this happens.

856
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: Keith was killing me a few games ago because him

857
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: and Pat McCarthy we're talking. I think it was the

858
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 2: last game the Dodger serious about bay Blades. You remember

859
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: bab Blades Let it Rip? Yeah, yes, Lea the Rip,

860
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 2: and they were talking about how they used to play

861
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: bab Blades. I texted Keith. I was like, hey, because

862
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: every single time he does a game with Howie how

863
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 2: he just basically brates him from being under sixty years old, he.

864
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: Being born in the fifties.

865
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: It brings up celebrities who like I've never even come

866
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: close to hearing about like Melanie Griffin. I like, you

867
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 2: talked about her for like three innings like last week.

868
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: I was like, who you talking about? But then Melanie,

869
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: I was like, now you gotta make Howie feel You

870
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: got to ask Howie about bab blades to see what

871
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: we have to say about that. But just quick note

872
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: about McGill heavy heavy slider in this game. Again, I

873
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 2: don't know what the Mets saw about between what this

874
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 2: Rocket team could do between Friday and Saturday with McGill

875
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: and Holmes, but they were just slithered slyly slider as

876
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 2: much as possible through thirty four of them this game,

877
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: forty one percent of the time, most of their own pitch.

878
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: Didn't think I'd every Sea taught that be a Tyler

879
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: McGill thing. Also, just the movement was clearly he was

880
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: losing three inches of vertical drop on that slider, which

881
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: is funny because that's what makes that pitch so good.

882
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 2: But I guess the Rockets are so bad. That's okay,

883
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 2: It's just it was. It was a nice It was

884
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: It was a good reminder of exactly who Tyler McGill is.

885
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: And I'm still hopeful. I'm still like, I still think

886
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: when Frankie Montsis comes back to his rotation, likely during

887
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: that ten game Brave Philly stand we're gonna have next

888
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: week after the six game home stand here. I think

889
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: that he stays in it and then we see what

890
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 2: happens in about three four weeks when Sean mknight comes back.

891
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess we'll just worry about that problem when

892
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: it comes. But yeah, Tyler McGill, that he will never

893
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: not be a roller coaster of emotions watching that guy pitch.

894
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: And every single time I'm like, you know, it's really

895
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: all there, It's really all there for him and everything's

896
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: here for the taking. Are it's gonna happen one day?

897
00:36:59,280 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 2: I know it is.

898
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: That's he's that sneaky ex girlfriend texting you if you're

899
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: up you never hear it might be sometimes there's.

900
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 2: Too much fun, but again, this is a great series.

901
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: This is kind of we just took care of business

902
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: against a bad team. Like a lot of Mets fans

903
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:10,959
Speaker 2: are like, oh, you know, I hate playing bad teams

904
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 2: and so much to lose playing I loved it, beat

905
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: the piss out of them six times in a row,

906
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 2: basically like you. And this is so important too, because

907
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: every team the nationally gets to play the Rockies six

908
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: or seven times. So if any team loses the game

909
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: against the Rockies, whether it be the Braves, the Phillies,

910
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: the Padres, the Giants, the Dodgers, we get. Now that's

911
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: a game we haven't had because we seem six times. Yes,

912
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: most likely, But I mean, I don't know more course

913
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 2: chasts than this is.

914
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: Philly just got swept by the Pirates.

915
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: That's true. It's it's it's sad watching this Rockies team play.

916
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: Feel bad, yeah, feel bad with the fans. I feel

917
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: bad for the people. It's horrible.

918
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: It's definitely an unenjoyable experience. I mean, you had Orlando

919
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: Arcia playing first base on Sunday. What the fuck? That's crazy?

920
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: You just I think he was just covering first. No way,

921
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: he'll played first, he played first stop. Orlando Arcu was

922
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: playing first on Sunday.

923
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's horrible.

924
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: Like why there has to be somebody else there has

925
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: to be is where's where's Laris Montero. He's gotta be

926
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: able to play first base.

927
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 2: I think they finally cut them last year, but I think,

928
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand they want they want their prospect

929
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: Ryan rather to get the shortstop rep see if he

930
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 2: could be a short especially.

931
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: While to that aspect, he's in twenty six I think.

932
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: But good good for Rockies, that's a prospect. And Tyrol

933
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: and we got Tyro Estrada, who is still a good journeyman.

934
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's also player.

935
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: Some some late breaking news here ten to fifty one

936
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 2: PM article by The Athletic Will Salmon a little expose

937
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: about what Alonso did this offseason to get his swing back.

938
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: Oh, maybe a special episode coming later this week about that?

939
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: Possibly, yeah, or possibly a special episode coming this week

940
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 2: about some light Jacob de Grond rumors that are actually

941
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: starting to trickle in shockingly. Oh yeah, I yeah, I

942
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: mean I'm here for it.

943
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 1: You know, I'm here for it. I still I still

944
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: have tweets that go out at two am every couple

945
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: of months about how much I missed Jake de gram

946
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: So I'm about it.

947
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And uh, I don't think they have a media

948
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 2: marvel this week. I know. I mean there's there's some

949
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 2: people out there who are dying to be media marvels

950
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 2: more and more, but you know, we're not gonna give

951
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 2: them satisfaction and mentioning the name on this show every episode,

952
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: But how much pity can we say that?

953
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: You can meet him in the Mets parking lot on Thursday,

954
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: which is insane and we will not be doing that.

955
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: But again, Lions like us, we can't. We can't be

956
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: giving fleas like this. We're star for attention, more attention,

957
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 2: especially when their own team camp can't beat their own

958
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 2: rivals in their own home park. But let's get to

959
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: our preview of the Washington National Series. The Mets getting

960
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm well deserved day off on Monday, Mark, I'm.

961
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: Actually probably gonna get some YouTube videos done. Maybe maybe

962
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: maybe throw Oh wait, we have Softball Championship.

963
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: Replay the Softball Championship called I called out, cople worked

964
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 2: out the next morning.

965
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: Bang, we got rescheduled. So just goes to show you

966
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: if you cause a big enough to think change will happen,

967
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: that's it.

968
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 2: You know, if you got that kind of pull, you

969
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 2: could do those things. But Tuesday, Mets are back in

970
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,479
Speaker 2: action seven ten City Field against the Nationals Series. Gonna

971
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: be great. I think City Field is gonna be rocking

972
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: this whole weekend. A bit of an ASoft Tuesday Night

973
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: Griffin Canning versus Mackenzie Gore Wednesday, seven to ten. Again,

974
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: this is a classic Mets Nationals matchup. We get this

975
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: five times a year. David Peterson versus Jake Irvin the

976
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: third time they.

977
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: Faced twenty five pitches.

978
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: And then we got a little alliteration Thursday, Matt and

979
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: a code that Sanga versus Michael Soroka.

980
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh, Soroka back is the last start was great on

981
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: Friday night against the wasn't the Tigers?

982
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 2: That was Ben brad access to the Tigers. I guess the Rangers. Yeah,

983
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: when seven scoreless, Soroka is doing the thing where we're

984
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: talking about a little bit on this show where if

985
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: you're a pitcher, you're kind of always trapped in your

986
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 2: fastball shape just because you throw so much when you

987
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 2: grow up pitching, and then you throw so many fastballs

988
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: you grow up pitching that your arm kind of finds

989
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: the same groove kind of like I don't know, kind

990
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 2: of like when you have a couch in your living

991
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 2: room for for twenty five years and you pick it up,

992
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: you're like, wow, it indented the floor. Yeah, that's kind

993
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 2: of the concept of what your arm does every single time,

994
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 2: over and over again when you throw it. But when

995
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: you stop throwing for extended period of time like Mike

996
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: Soroka did when he had an achilles injury and a

997
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 2: chilles injury and then Tommy John surgery. If I'm not mistaken,

998
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: back to back to back, you're kind of able to

999
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: reshape your pitches and kind of find new ways to pitch.

1000
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 2: And Soroka's done that in a pretty amazing way over

1001
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 2: the last few years. Because he came to the league

1002
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 2: he was a change was a sinker, a sinker slider guy,

1003
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 2: and now he's a He's a four seam fastball hound.

1004
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: That's all he does. Now he's added some more depth

1005
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 2: to his slyther to Baseball, Simon's calling it a slurve.

1006
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: That fastball is still not it's still not amazing. I

1007
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: think it flashes at times, so he's still trying to

1008
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: get a grip for It's still ninety four miles an

1009
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: hour was just a decent It's a shape that's really

1010
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 2: pushing trying to be plus, but it's not quite there yet.

1011
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 2: But the way he's throwing that slur of now, the

1012
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: way still mixing the sinker in the change up he

1013
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 2: has in his back pocket, he's definitely I'm I find

1014
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: myself rooting for Mike Soroka because of how much he's

1015
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,959
Speaker 2: been through, hoping them that shit on him one hundred percent.

1016
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: I'm saying, in general, no, Lex kind of a baseball Yeah,

1017
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 2: in general, guy has gone through that much shit, Like

1018
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm I want to see you succeed. Because also because

1019
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: of Gore is on the seam, we're facing him Tuesday. Yeah,

1020
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 2: we've got to avoid him to this point, facing the

1021
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 2: Nationals we have facing this year, right, No Gore, I

1022
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 2: don't think we faced I don't think so. He's uh,

1023
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: he's turned himself into the prince that was promised, probably

1024
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 2: objectively speaking, the eleventh the twelfth best pitcher in baseball

1025
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: right now, from the highest track up rate in the

1026
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: league right now, thirty six percent. That's that's rivaling terror

1027
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 2: school ball. He still walking his fair share, guys, that's

1028
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: still in the Mackenzie Gores Special. But it's ninety seven

1029
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 2: mile now gas in the left side. It's a ridiculous curveball.

1030
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 2: It's a new slide or too. This year he's adds

1031
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 2: some more depth to that pitch, taking a few ticks

1032
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: off it. That's kind of been the bridge in his repertoire.

1033
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: Between that awesome, high riding fastball and like the hard

1034
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 2: dropping curveball the guys awesome. You guys haven't watched Mackenzie

1035
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 2: Cory this year. I think Tuesday Night would be very

1036
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: fun to watch.

1037
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: Also on the hitting side, just again obligatory drooling over

1038
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: James Wood and c. J. Abrams, two of the best

1039
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: young players in baseball. James Wood is maybe one of

1040
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: the twenty best players in baseball already, and he's aged

1041
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: twenty two. Sixteen homer, sixteen doubles, forty five RBIs, nine

1042
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: stole in bases nine oh seven ops again at twenty

1043
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: two years of age. CJ. Abrams, when he's staying away

1044
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: from the roulette table, is an incredible baseball player as well, Right,

1045
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: sure he is. Yeah, I'm sure he's good on the

1046
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: roulette table too, But eight hundred ops. He's playing better defense,

1047
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: he's running like crazy, hitting for power, good baseball player.

1048
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: This is a weird national team, though, again where they've

1049
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: had some injuries, there's a lot of young guys up again,

1050
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: like Robert Hassel's been up, Dalan Lyle had gotten a

1051
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: call up at some point. They've been get Trey Lipscomb.

1052
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: Some looks they're gonna throw a bunch of guys at you.

1053
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: They're pesky. They're way better than again you probably think

1054
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: they are. They're like thirty and thirty four or thirty

1055
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: and thirty five. I think on the season.

1056
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 2: They're thirty and thirty five. I'm trying to think of

1057
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: like a team to compare them to. But also cool.

1058
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: Not about James Wood. He's having this I'm not even

1059
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 2: gonna call a breakout because he was really good as

1060
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: a rookie. Now he's just really good in the second year.

1061
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 2: I don't think later be the time. He's not really good.

1062
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: For the next fifteen years, we're gonna watch baseball.

1063
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: He's breaking out from being good to now you're like, oh,

1064
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: fuck yeah, Like this guy probably should start the Alstar Game.

1065
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 2: And while he's doing that, he still is not pulling

1066
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 2: any flat balls in the air. Just a nine percent

1067
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 2: pulled the fly ball right, one of the lowest in

1068
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 2: the whole league. The fact that he's found a way

1069
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 2: to hit sixteen major league home runs and fewer than

1070
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 2: three hundred played appearances without pulling flat balls, it's just

1071
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: he's it's disgusting what he's able to do and the

1072
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: player that he's going to be able to become is

1073
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 2: going to be really scary.

1074
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: To deal with thirty two extra base hits in sixty

1075
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 1: four games is crazy.

1076
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 2: She's that's freaking crazy.

1077
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: He's so good.

1078
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 2: They're the Nationals are They're a pesky team. Like if

1079
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 2: you're going to root for a bad team, like, if

1080
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna be a fan of a bad team, the

1081
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 2: Nationals are the ones, right, be like, yeah, down for

1082
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: that because national is also outside of the They started

1083
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: the year off very slow. They were like three and

1084
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 2: like nine or something. Then they had that seven game

1085
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 2: losing streak in the beginning of May. Since the middle

1086
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 2: of May, this is a team that's over five hundred.

1087
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: They're a team that ran through the Oriols. Their team

1088
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: that's been playing the Braves a lot and beating them

1089
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: a good bit. Like they're they're a good they want

1090
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,959
Speaker 2: a series out in Seattle against a good Mariners team

1091
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 2: like this is not a team that is to be

1092
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: trifled with. I know, we just played three games of

1093
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: not real baseball, coming off the high of playing a

1094
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: really tight four game Dodger series like this, this is

1095
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: a big three game six same homestand for the mess

1096
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,959
Speaker 2: to show up and like, really nailed down. How hot

1097
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 2: this day've actually been.

1098
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, just keep swinging it. I mean we're the better team.

1099
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: Keep swinging it, pitching well. Met will come out with

1100
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: a series victory for sure. Do we have Frankie Peppers

1101
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: for us here to end the episode?

1102
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: We do with Frankie Peppers. End the episode. Nice minute

1103
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: of the Frankie.

1104
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: Let's get some Frankie gentlemen.

1105
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 5: This is Frankie Peppers.

1106
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: Do.

1107
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 6: I don't really have much to say because we did

1108
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 6: exactly what we needed to do.

1109
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 5: Go in there, sweep the Rockies, take care of business.

1110
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 5: A big congratulate the big knee patals. So second place

1111
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 5: all time on the Met's home run list in first

1112
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 5: place is very much within his grasp in the next

1113
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 5: few weeks. I want to tell you about something I

1114
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 5: saw earlier today. So it was I took the little

1115
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 5: trip over to the New Haven.

1116
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 6: I love that city, went and got some coffee, and

1117
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 6: then I was walking around. I saw a pickleball court,

1118
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 6: and on the pickleball court right outside there were some drawings.

1119
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 5: Of some animals.

1120
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 6: But the animals looked like looked like people, and they

1121
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 6: had they had.

1122
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: So the end of the message is that it you're

1123
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: gonna leave to the twice seconds.

1124
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 5: Loos called them interesting proportions.

1125
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 6: I don't want to you know, be vulgar or anything here,

1126
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 6: but they some interesting proportions. And I'd like to like

1127
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 6: to know if you boys know anything about that, because

1128
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 6: they saw that and I just got very confused. Anyway, gentlemen,

1129
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 6: appreciates you as always. Let's go that did what we

1130
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 6: needed to do on to the next series. Take care boys.

1131
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: Were supposed to about how we're supposed to know what

1132
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 2: these animals look like. They're interesting proportions with these like

1133
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 2: human human to fight animals like like.

1134
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 1: Like animals drawn with interesting proportions. Again, maybe maybe it

1135
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: was an Irish coffee, right, I mean.

1136
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean hopefully based on that by Frankie's a

1137
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: chill guy, we should we should maybe talk about two

1138
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 2: more manus about Peter Lines being the second the mess

1139
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: all time home run. Let's really breeze past that kind

1140
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 2: of easily. You know, we were like, I don't know.

1141
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: You want to know why because it's like I want

1142
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk about when he gets first, because

1143
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: well then we can do the whole glaze fest. But yeah,

1144
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: he's he's a beast.

1145
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 2: I think that the fact that David Wright is kind

1146
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: of it's kind of cool. I mean, I don't know,

1147
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: like I it's amazing to think about like where Pilanza

1148
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 2: started his career when he came up in twenty nineteen.

1149
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 2: That right now he's he has more home runs than

1150
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: Meth and David Right.

1151
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it uh shouldn't make sense. That's not how

1152
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: it should be. David Wright should have four hundred home runs.

1153
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that is breaking my brain, and I guess

1154
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 2: it is kind of funny. The top two guys on

1155
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 2: this Mets all the time home run lists are really

1156
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: two huge like what the Color showar stories like real

1157
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 2: big what ifs between Right and Strawberry. For the way

1158
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 2: Strawberry's career started as well. I was watching God Nationals

1159
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: Marlins game of like a month or ago now, and

1160
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: the Marlins announcer, for a guy who was but one

1161
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 2: of the Color guy was really comparing James Wood to

1162
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 2: young Strawberry just about how long his arms were and

1163
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: the way he could get through the zone and he

1164
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: didn't even need pole power to actually access real power

1165
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 2: just because of how strong and like fast he was.

1166
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 2: But he's able to turn those hips. It's cool. It

1167
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: is cool that no matter what happens after this season,

1168
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 2: like Peel Alonso has firmly and for sure etched his

1169
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 2: name in the Mets history books, and that's something that

1170
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 2: is oh, like, well, we're gonna remember Pilanzo forever no

1171
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 2: matter how this happens. Hopefully he's a Met forever too.

1172
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: He's one of those guys to be a forever Met.

1173
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: He could be he could be the first ever forever Met.

1174
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 2: Shout out down mcgreca the better half right there, because

1175
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: it's like that is the moment. That's the guy who

1176
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: could be, Like, he could be our forever Met.

1177
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: He'sier forever Met. Cool dude and green pool.

1178
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 2: Right, p ed, Yeah, but this is but this is

1179
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 2: this is what Pete can be. So as he keeps

1180
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: climbing this list and we get closer and close to

1181
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 2: him getting two fifty three, which is so so low

1182
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,919
Speaker 2: for the Mets, all shocking, but that's that's where we're at.

1183
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 2: So that's it's It makes me feel old. I'm sure

1184
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: it makes you feel old as well if this is

1185
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 2: happening plans seven years into this career. But I'm happy

1186
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 2: for Pete because I think Pete has earned it. He's

1187
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: worked really hard, he deserves this. He's he's playing so

1188
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: fucking good right now. He's carrying this team.

1189
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: Give him all the money. That's where I That's what

1190
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: That's my take now is I just want to pay him.

1191
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: What does he want? Got it?

1192
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: Give him three percent more than the market value.

1193
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: I got that, and I'm cool with it, and Peach

1194
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,120
