1
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Put us Up. Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: of The metsa Podcast. Yeah, I mean, what is going on.

3
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: It's just it's exhausting watching this team.

4
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: I don't know.

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: I think I think me and Gym are gonna be

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: pretty real this episode. Some of you probably gonna be

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: a little frustrated with the things that we say. I

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: actually think a lot of you are gonna be pretty

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: happy about some of the things that we say. We

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: see the comments, we see on Twitter, we see everywhere.

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: We're just against we see the game. We're just as

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: frustrated as you, guys. It feels like we've been banging

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: our head into a wall for the last three months

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: of baseball with the Mets. Great first couple of months

15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: of the season, weird part of June because it was

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: kind of split in half where you had a good

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: start and a horriblend, and it's just kind of continued

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: on to what is now August fourth, and the Mets

19
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: are just still kind of playing horrible baseball. So we'll

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: talk about everything that went on this weekend against the

21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: same Parcisco Giants. Cedric Mullins made his Mets debut. We

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: got a bunch of the guys in from the trade

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: deadline and all that other stuff. I don't know. I'm trying.

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like be positive, but maybe it's because

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: it's twelve forty five at night we're recording this. But

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm so down right now on this Mets team.

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: That game on Sunday was a deplorably bad watch horrific.

28
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: I cracked up laughing when you said it was Cedric

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: mullins mess debut. I don't know why. It's just got me,

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: but shoutout Mark waiting up for me. It was out

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: the wedding on Sunday, Shadow, Carlston's race, Carlos, wonderful celebrations, wonderful,

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: wonderful night. I think there's two ways to look at

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: the series, and weirdly, when you look at them the

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: two different ways, you wind up in the same place.

35
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: Because when you play baseball series against other good teams,

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: like you're going to win one, they're going to win one.

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: You're going to have one fifty to fifty game, right,

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: So like that's kind of what happened. We blew their

39
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: doors off on Saturday, they blow our doors off on Sunday,

40
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: and then the way you look back on it, Friday

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: was the fifty to fifty game, and the fifty to

42
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: fifty moment of the fifty to fifty game was that

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: you have the top of the other up down by

44
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: one run with a runner in second base and you

45
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: can't score it run. And that's a moment where you're like, damn,

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: that sucks. You should be able to do that, especially

47
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 2: given the hitters that we have at the top four order.

48
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: You really should be able to do that, given everything

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: that we want, we need where this team expects to go.

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: But then you don't win that game. You still blow

51
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: the doors up on Saturday. You think about the momentum

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: game of baseball when it builds day after another, and

53
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: you get to that game on Sunday and you score

54
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: the first run for Cis Golling' door has been cold.

55
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: It's a home run the first inning, and you get

56
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: your fucking shit lit on fire between Raphael Devers and

57
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: like kind of a bullshit inning, but still franky mods

58
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: of letting everybody on base. It's just there were many

59
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: ways for the Mets to be able to salvage a

60
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: series like this, and again both ways they could not

61
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: do one at the beginning one at the end, and

62
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: you can see in both reasons why they couldn't salvage

63
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: the series, why this team does have some dramatic flaws

64
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: at the moment.

65
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: They're just not doing things that good teams do, like

66
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: good teams win these games that the Mets have been losing,

67
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: they've been losing them, and I feel like at the

68
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: beginning of the year they were getting these games. They

69
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: were playing clean bait with the opposite of may correct

70
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: like may. It was like we were getting all of them.

71
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: But the Mets were playing good defense, they were getting

72
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: good pitching, we were getting timely hitting, we were hitting

73
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: We were hitting the ball significantly better than we are

74
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: right now. But when you have a lineup that Brandon

75
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Imo and wants would have been cold for the last

76
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: week or so, last ten games, they've been cold. On

77
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: top of that, Francisco Lindor and Pete A. Lonzo have

78
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: basically done nothing. I know, Lindor's got some hits in

79
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: the blowout game and then Pete hit a home run

80
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: as well, But like those guys still are not even

81
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: relatively close to the caliber of player that they should

82
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: be and that the Mets need them to be and

83
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: then you throw that on top of the fact that

84
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: this Mets lineup just as a whole isn't very very

85
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: deep when you have guys like Marfiento still getting at

86
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: bats and you still have just kind of not a

87
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: full gelled lineup right now, and that's kind of the

88
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: whole thing with this Mets team. There's just no gel

89
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: going on right now. There's no vibes.

90
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: I was gonna tell you, I think that's untrue. I

91
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: think that what's gone on with the Mets team ironically

92
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: over the last few weeks that we actually have got

93
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: monster production bomb in line up. Well, I think considering

94
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: with the bottom of the lineup is for most baseball teams,

95
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: like Jeff McNeil has begun to hit again, Mark Fianto's

96
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: has gotten hit eleven of twelve games that he started.

97
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: What's his average or lose a lot of games, but.

98
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm just saying like he's at least got one hit

99
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: the game. One hit the game, the bomb was a

100
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: big deal. Like Cedric Malins and had a big game

101
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: on Saturday. It took some decent at bats on Sunday. Ever,

102
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: sus Gualverraz. Since he's come back to the minor Leaguees

103
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: has taken consistently great at bats versus Gualvus looks good

104
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: as as bad as he was earlier in the season.

105
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: He has no ps right now. That's sixty seventy points

106
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: higher than Mark Fiantos, just to think about where those two.

107
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying, like and Saturday Baby had a

108
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 2: great game, score three or four runs, Like I actually

109
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: think right now, it's the opposite of all the things

110
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: that we thought were the problems forever, Like it is

111
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: the top of the order that is I mean, you're right, yeah,

112
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: holding us down, Like I think that that the cohesion

113
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: could be there if anybody the top of the order

114
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: was hitting right now, that is the problem. But again

115
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: like similarly, how like there's a lack of flow, lack

116
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: of movement right now like fluidity Friday you get the

117
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: great pitching deputation and you can't hit Sunday again the

118
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: bombing the other hits the topic that it doesn't show

119
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: up and Frankie Mantis gets blown the fuck ups like that.

120
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: It's just the fact that like there's no position groups

121
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: who are working the same way at the same time.

122
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: That's the problem, which is the opposite of what you

123
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: want to be as a successful baseball team.

124
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just no there's no gelling going on. They

125
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: can't get going at the same time, they can't get

126
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: good pitching and good hitting, or good hitting and good pitching,

127
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: Like they just don't. Nothing is ever sim like seemingly

128
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: in sync for this team right now. And I think

129
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: I texted you on Friday talking about the Mets game

130
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: because they weren't hitting and it really was a late

131
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: rally that was like nice, cool, like great late rally

132
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: to then still lose the game. Whoop, do do we

133
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: can hang the banners? I guess about that one. But

134
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: like I think, I'm just like done trying to find answers.

135
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: I think this just might be the twenty twenty five

136
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: Mets where they're gonna have games where they look awesome,

137
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have games where they look horrible, and at

138
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: the end of the day they probably just make the playoffs.

139
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: And I don't really know how much noise they make

140
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: right now in the postseason. It's just the the way

141
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: that this team plays over a span of time feels

142
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: unsustainable for a playoff run right now.

143
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: I had a disgusting moment on Friday night after I

144
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 2: watched the Mets watch them lose, worked my NBC shift,

145
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: had some dinner, just kind of unwinding, like getting a

146
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: YouTube video, watching some reruns of Breaking Bad, and I

147
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: kind of like sat back in my chair. I was like,

148
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: why am I not more mad about the game I

149
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: just watched, because like everything in my head were like

150
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: watching the way they lost, watching the way David Peterson

151
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: pitch not getting hit from Amost five foot and thinks

152
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: is Robbie Ray having to come back tie in the

153
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: game and then like drifting into defeat. I was like,

154
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: I should be pissed about this. I was like, young

155
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: James right now would be like throwing a fit about

156
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: the Mets game he just watched. I was like, why

157
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: don't I Why don't I feel that. I'm just like

158
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: I kind of got the conclusion I didn't really expect

159
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: them to win. Even as they came back. I was like,

160
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: it still doesn't feel like a win right now. It's

161
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: like a shitty thing to say. It's a hard thing

162
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: to describe, but even when that game was tied and

163
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: they fall down by one, I'm like, it's just know

164
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: and it's like it is shitty to blame the guy,

165
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: Like I'm not blaming anybody, but like if Brandon just

166
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: hits a ground ball instead of a pop up or

167
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: hits a pop up, he's like a half of an

168
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: inch on that bad away from h think a double

169
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: deadline or home and over the wall. It's like shitty

170
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: to say, like that's a reason that, like all this

171
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: team is in the in the shire, but you just

172
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: felt that whole game momentum, the way the team is

173
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: moving is just that that felt like a loss and

174
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: you blow them that Saturday and Sunday just no chance

175
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 2: to win. It's just I don't know. And it also

176
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: this US magnifying a three game series way too intently.

177
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: That's that's what we do and that's the whole point

178
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: of this.

179
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: But then they did also get the doors blown off

180
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: them in San Diego as well.

181
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: That's the difference is that it's.

182
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: You feel like there was a break with the trade

183
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: deadline though, like yes and no, I don't know this team,

184
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: they've done it all year, so again it's been in

185
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: front of our face this entire time. But they win

186
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: seven in a row, they lose six of seven, Like

187
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: that's just kind of how it seems to be going

188
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: this year, and I think because of the cushion that

189
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: we gave ourselves at the start of the year with

190
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: playing just more good games than bad were above five hundred.

191
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: But really the majority of the years has actually been

192
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: like a five hundred baseball team, I mean.

193
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: More or less, kind of not this majority. But since

194
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: it happens in June, like yeah, June tenth.

195
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: It's that Friday night against the Tampa Bay Rays where

196
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Paul Blackburn came in the game, that's that's kind of

197
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: like the turning point of like maybe we weren't as

198
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: good as we thought we were.

199
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Paul Blackman is likely coming back to this

200
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: team very soon. But it's I don't know, like there's

201
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: a philosophical conversation there where it's like is it not

202
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: as good as we thought they were or is it

203
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: just like not as good as they ever were? Like

204
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: they were better then than they probably ever were. Like

205
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: we were getting every single five days, Griffin Canning, David

206
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: Peterson like incredible starts and that what the second that ended,

207
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: whether or not that could have ended based on bad

208
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: luck or just bad skill, like it did end, and

209
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: there has not been a return a guy like Kola saying,

210
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: guy I think is kind of emblematic of the whole thing.

211
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: It's like, you hope for a guy like that who

212
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 2: is now healthy, was maybe a few starts off the

213
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: il to be a guy who can be relied upon

214
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: in these situations, and in a game like Saturday, we

215
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: can build moment like you could. We were building momentum

216
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: we had usually early in that game, and he gave

217
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: it back and the offense kind of grabbed it back

218
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: for him. But he seems so not right, and him

219
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: being that right feels like something that dramatically impacts the

220
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: ceiling of this team.

221
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they just cannot afford to have Coodea saying,

222
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: along with Frankie Montas, along with Clay Holmes, three guys

223
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: a week, and then Sean and I as well right now,

224
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: who cannot go past the fifth inning. That's it's it's unsustainable.

225
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: It's not possible for this Mets team, for this Mets

226
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: bullpen to be able to continue that way. And I

227
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: also hate pointing the finger to the pitching still because

228
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the number one problem

229
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: with this team is they are not hitting. They're not

230
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: scoring any runs. There is absolutely no consistency with the offense.

231
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: The pitching gets magnified because we can't hit. But really,

232
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the hitting is the

233
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: problem with this tease.

234
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: I think that a lot of people were jumping down

235
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: the decision of Carls Mendez in the game on Friday

236
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: to bring in Ryan Staneck in seventh inning, where like

237
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: that to me was an innocuous fine Why David Peerce

238
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: was like right around one hundred pitches, David Pierce is

239
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: already kind of shocking in the career high innings pitch

240
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: like he is the horse of the staff. We know that,

241
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: and he had a couple of tough innings to begin

242
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: that game. But then he cruise in the middle of

243
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: the thinks is David Pearson often does. Then you kind

244
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: of have to bring someone in. You're down by a

245
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: few runs, like the everyone's bullpen should be trusted at

246
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: this point in the season, And it feels different after

247
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: watching on Sunday, but like at that point you're like

248
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: just bringing Ryan Stanick. Sure get through an inning and

249
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: you give up one run, the one run. That situation

250
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: should not be magnified. The fact that you've been shut

251
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: out through six innings. That should be the part that

252
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: this magnified. And Robby Rays a great pitcher. Give Robby

253
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: Ray credit? Why why wouldn't we It's just there has

254
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: to be something else happening there.

255
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm like become so exhausted with that. I'm done even

256
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: blaming Chavas. We know my stands, but that's a big

257
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: step for you. We know my stance is never gonna change.

258
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: I still think he sucks, but like at the end

259
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: of the day, I don't know at some point if

260
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: if he sucks so bad as much as we and

261
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: we all think right one, I would think David Surtive

262
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: would have fired him already. And the fact that he

263
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: is still there tells me something. They like something. They

264
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: have to like something. And then two, Francisco Indor has

265
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: been a good hitter before. He just needs to step up.

266
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso was a good hitter at the beginning of

267
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: the year, was doing things that he's not doing now.

268
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: He needs to step up. Like the mess just kind

269
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: of need to put their big boy pants on in

270
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: place with baseball, it feels like right now they're just

271
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: kind of fucking moping around krats.

272
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people out there that pay

273
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: rent and they don't get anything for it.

274
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,880

Speaker 2: But that's what it comes down to. It's like you

293
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: have to start playing some baseball. But that's that's what

294
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: they're not doing right now. It's like and also it's

295
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: like maybe that's us being a little like my choose

296
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: mo with this, where it's like why aren't we doing better?

297
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: Why aren't we doing better? But how much longer do

298
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: you have to do better? It's like you say, we

299
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: have had a bad season to this point, like things

300
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: have not gone our way. Now it's augusta you things

301
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: can't not go your way into August, like rubber has

302
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 2: to meet the road. If you want to do something,

303
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: it's it's it's August, like start playing. It's almost like

304
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: a lot of people are sitting back and having solace

305
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: and the fact that we're still a half game.

306
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Behind the Phillies.

307
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: We're still don't love that, but it's the fact that

308
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: it's lucky to have been to this spot. Not lucky,

309
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: but you're fortunate that you played well enough the season

310
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: to have got yourself to this point. Now it's about

311
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: taking advantage of opportunities, and that's where the lack is

312
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: coming in.

313
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: You think other fan bases feel like this too. You

314
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: think that you think Phillies fans would feel You think

315
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: everyone is twenty seven teams in baseball feel like this.

316
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: It's like there is nobody right now who's jumping out

317
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: as like the team. No, the Brewers kind of are,

318
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: but weirdly enough, we handled them pretty easily when we

319
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: played them during their like massive hot streaks. So like,

320
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna.

321
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: See him again next week, so we'll see if that

322
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: happens again.

323
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: We find out, but there's there is no team in baseball.

324
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: I feel like that instills any sort of fear in

325
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: anybody right now, which is funny because as we're coming

326
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: up on the lockout in a couple of years, the

327
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: biggest conversation is about all salary cap and how it's

328
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: not fair when I think there's like the most parody

329
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: there's probably ever been in baseball right now.

330
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: I agree with that, especially when you go look at

331
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: the fact that there hasn't been a repeat champion since

332
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: twenty seven years ago. Yeah, like it seems obvious that

333
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: there is good parody and good you know, competitive balance

334
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: in this league. But again, a lot of fan base

335
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: like the bitch and right about that. And again it's

336
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: it's funny too because a lot of Mets fans do

337
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: want to jump down the throats of the guys make

338
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: the most money in this team, like the very obvious targets,

339
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: which is wan So though Francisco Indor, which is se

340
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: a lesser degree. Brandon won't be a lonzo the second

341
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: they gave him that bullshit Fab four nickname, all they

342
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: start all they just stopped hitting instantly. Luckily for us,

343
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: we never used that name.

344
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: But what the Fab four was?

345
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: Uh?

346
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: Or no?

347
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: Fab five was Michigan guys, right, yeah, historically didn't win anything, right,

348
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't think anything. I mean the Chris Weber called

349
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: the time out and got a technical foul, so like

350
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: that's not really a group I'd want to give a

351
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: similar guys on my team the moniker of historically speaking,

352
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: the University of Michigan only really won things like before

353
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: the Mets existed as a franchise, just to give you

354
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: a timeframe of when that university was most successful. But

355
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: that is that's a problem, and the problem is again

356
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: Wan Solo was hot for a month, Brandimo has been

357
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: hot for like three months. Those guys have not been

358
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: called wan soa for like three four weeks now, Brandon

359
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: were for like two wish weeks.

360
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be a give and take on a

361
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: baseball team, like things are supposed to kind of work

362
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: in unison and the fact that those guys have gotten

363
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: called at Brandon and Francisco and Doors have not gotten

364
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: hot back. You can't really pay it back, but that.

365
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: No, it's it's pretty impossible to score when the guys

366
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: who are supposed to be driving in all the runs

367
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: are having trouble just putting the ball even in play

368
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: at times having good quality contact. I mean the amount

369
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: of infield pop ups just missed it. Like the quality

370
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: of contact is so bizarre because again we still see

371
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: the hard hit balls, but then like it feels like

372
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: every time there's a big moment, it's the wrong hit

373
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: every single time.

374
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that, So woll pop up in

375
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: the tenth inning for like six hours that one like

376
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: Nimo and then that was like this on the bad

377
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: and then I need people to please miss me with

378
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: the sacrifice bunt with Nimo there, you cannot sacrifice bunt

379
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: down in the tenth inning for a team that can't

380
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: score runs. I think that's like three or four for

381
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: reply guys on Twitter, because I don't know, I see it.

382
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: More and more people are like, we need to bunt,

383
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: this team can't score them, Like, you know, what doesn't

384
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: help scoring? Giving a no one's ever been like team

385
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: can't score, let's make sure we have less outs than

386
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: we already have.

387
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: In the game.

388
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know want. I mean, just

389
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: you're down by one run, you have top of your order,

390
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: you want to score to the win, Like I don't

391
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: want to all the extrating dice again, I think again,

392
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: I think that was just a couple of apply guys

393
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: who were who are looming large at the moment. But

394
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't think that was like a relevant thing whatsoever, truthfully.

395
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think baseball people were talking about

396
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: it now.

397
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: It's just the problem is just it's it's a meme

398
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: that goes up on swe her all the time where

399
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: it's like pitching hitting, like relief pitching. It's like you

400
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: can never get all three switches going in the same

401
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: spot one time, like there was a while. And also

402
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: I think something that honestly weirdly works against more not

403
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: the Mets, but us as the fans, is that the

404
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: way that last year was just like oh perfect, you

405
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like there was it was fucking

406
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: Nirvana watching his team for three straight months. So then

407
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: now with the fact that things are difficult, it's you,

408
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: it's easy to forget how hard baseball is when you

409
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: watch perfect baseball for months on end.

410
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: Oh, this has been an absolute slog of a season,

411
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: and especially the summer. It has been a long, long

412
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: summer watching the Mets like they just like you said,

413
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: we had Nirvana last year. It was easy to watch

414
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: them in the second half because they just won all

415
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: the time and you didn't really know how. But you

416
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: turn on the game, You're like, the Mets are gonna

417
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: find a way to win. You turn on a game

418
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: right now watching the Mets, like, how are they gonna

419
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: lose this one? That's kind of what it feels like

420
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: right now.

421
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: Does it feel like that? Do you feel like they're

422
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: going to lose every game? Is that what you're saying?

423
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: No, I don't feel like they're gonna lose every game,

424
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: But like I every time that I see like the

425
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: first inning squandered when like they get a guy on,

426
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 1: or I see like the first failure of like runners

427
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: the scoring position, I can't help but be like, here

428
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: we go again. It's it's the GTA meme. Ah shit,

429
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: here we go again, Like there's just and again. I

430
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: don't know what they can change. This is just me

431
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: speaking from like fan perspective. It's just like how we

432
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: keep doing the same thing over and over again. I

433
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: don't know what the change is. I'm not there. That's

434
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: not my job to figure out what the change is.

435
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. But the people whose job it is,

436
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: including the players on the field, like, we have to

437
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: make an adjustment at some point because the plan of

438
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: everything that's been going on for the last two months,

439
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: it is broken. It's not working. There has to be

440
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: a change in how these guys approach they're hitting. Not

441
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: not from Mark shavat standpoint, but like maybe maybe we're

442
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: a little too patient, maybe we're too aggressive, maybe we're

443
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: not seeing fat enough fastballs. Like there's there's something that's missing.

444
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna find out the answer because I'm never

445
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: gonna this on my job. I'm not getting paid for it.

446
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: But they're franciscool Indoor. Can't go two months of being

447
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: a bad hitter and just be like, well, I'll figure

448
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: it out.

449
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: I think this is Groundhog's Day, because I really it's not.

450
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: The approach seems okay, they seem to be well, they

451
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: just seem to be sucking. But rather than like picking

452
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: the wrong pitch that you can't.

453
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: You can't. There's something fundamentally broken about this team. I

454
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: don't know if it is the approach. I don't know

455
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: if it's they have bad wood bats. I don't know.

456
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: If these guys aren't sleeping enough. Maybe they need the

457
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: Dom Smith Slibapia machine. He had a fucking series. Of

458
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: course he did. He's stunk the last time he was

459
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: here and now plays for the Giants, has a big series.

460
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Be like, there is something fundamentally broken right now with

461
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: this Mets team. It needs to be fixed sooner than later.

462
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I'm at. I'm not I'm not

463
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: pointing fingers of what the actual problem is.

464
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the same shit, because I don't think

465
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: it's funding in the broke, just playing bad.

466
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: You cannot play this bad. We have this many good players.

467
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: Then then then they then they're losers.

468
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: That's that's what. And then I loser and me and

469
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: you were yelling about the same conversation we did like

470
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: a month ago, where I'm.

471
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: Like, doesn't say I don't want to do that again.

472
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: This team's either bad or they're losers, and then fix something,

473
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: make a change, do something, bring up, bring up a

474
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: young guy. Even I don't know. There's gotta be something here,

475
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: a spark plug. They're sleepy.

476
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 2: It was It was crazy on Friday night that that

477
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: Bob Melvin seems to not intentionally like bring Jose Pouteau

478
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: into a series, like into a game where you're facing

479
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: your former team. You're gonna be on the opposing man

480
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 2: for the first time in the bar ballparks you've called

481
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: your home as your entire as a major leaguer, and

482
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: now you're on the other side. That kind of felt

483
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: like a not that this relates to anything we're talking

484
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: about with the Mets, but like could throw into the

485
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: fire kind of thing. But this Mets team just seems

486
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: to need like a like a shake, like there needs

487
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: to be something that happens. You needs to be there,

488
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: needs to stop messy. The fucking brawl.

489
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: Me's need the guy to get drilled, and just like.

490
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: They need like a moment, they need like a thing,

491
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 2: They need something to make them stop thinking you start playing,

492
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: like like like stop stop thinking, you start feeling, because

493
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: like that's what it is.

494
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: Like.

495
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: Same with Pete, Like Pete the play that happened on

496
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: Sunday that really pissed me. Off was when he got

497
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: the ground ball first base with first and third, one out,

498
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: no out, get not exactly memory situation, but you guys

499
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: remember it was that. It was right after Rod felt

500
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 2: Ever hit the home run the following inning, with Frankie

501
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: on the mount still and Pete grabs the grabs the

502
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: ground ball and at that moment, all right, so I

503
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: have the spot right here. There was one out and

504
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: those first and third as the first basicon. You get

505
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: a ground ball, you're playing corners in you can either

506
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: at that moment wheel and deal, try to turn and

507
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: double play, or you can immediately come home. And Pete

508
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: had the moment, the split second of hesitation, and that

509
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 2: blew both things. And the fact that that happened that

510
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 2: let the game go from wind up being four to

511
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: one to seven to one. Again, not cutting Franki mantas

512
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 2: any slack, but that was the moment that dramatically changed

513
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: the way that game felt and the early to mid

514
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: inning still, that's the player that's thinking too much. That's

515
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: the player that when you before you get the ball,

516
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: you don't know where you're going with it. Pete got

517
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: the ball and there was a moment and then he

518
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: went home and he missed the runner by half an inch,

519
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: and then Patrick Bailey was running. If you willn't deal

520
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: to second base because maybe that's also hesitation because the

521
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: play that happened against the Padres or Vasco brosson, you

522
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like all these teeny tiny things

523
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 2: like eat into you, not eat into you, but like

524
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: they pile up. As a baseball team, you understand these things.

525
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 2: Understand the way your team works. You want to say,

526
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 2: the way you move, you make a play, you think

527
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: about that play when you make the next play, Like

528
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: that is just human nature, is how the game goes.

529
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: Then everything spins out. It's like it's these are the

530
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: Mets spin out a lot that we spent out a lot,

531
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: especially in the last week, where it's like all of

532
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: a sudden, like a game that like if you can

533
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: keep that game close, even if you can keep that

534
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: game five one and again this was not a pet

535
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: anymore work. Then it goes back to being on Mantas.

536
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: Then it's like all situations Xiantos where if the O

537
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: Ramos hits a ground ball in the wh and it

538
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 2: looks like Mark Vanto's has a step to go to

539
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: get the ball, and any kind of backs off it.

540
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: Not that that was the wrong play, I don't know

541
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 2: if he actually could have gotten to it, But then

542
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: to gets the Francisco Indoors deep in the hole. Heli

543
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 2: Ro almost beats it out by a millisecond, and another

544
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 2: Run's course, another run scores for that sixts rafa his

545
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: the break backbreak and single. Those little tiny things are

546
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: adding up on each other. And then when you're a

547
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 2: good team, you'll keep that game close. You make it

548
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: tight at the end. You see, if you can get close,

549
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: when you're kind of drifting past that, that's when other

550
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: team can blow you out and the game is not

551
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 2: competitive anymore.

552
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, they're just they're not sharp, they're not clean,

553
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: they're not capitalizing on any team's mistakes right now. It's

554
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: just it's poor baseball. And again, like you said, we're

555
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: probably magnifying a three game series way too the podcast.

556
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: We have to be, of course, it's why you guys

557
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: listen to us. We've been doing this for like four

558
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: years of magnifying every single game that this team ever plays.

559
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: But like at the same time, the sharpness and the

560
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: lack of consistent play. Again, it's been a problem since

561
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: the middle of June, so they got to.

562
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 2: Clean it up.

563
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: They're too talented to be as playing as poorly as

564
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: they have, and they are.

565
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: But how many more weeks can we say that?

566
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: Well that's the next conversation here is how how how

567
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: long until we they are who we thought they were?

568
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: Like it, I hate I fucking hate that I said

569
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: this months ago. It feels like the way the Phillies

570
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: felt last year. Yes, where you bust out and you're

571
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: incredible and you can't be stopped and all of a

572
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: sudden you don't even realize that when you played three

573
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: months of five hundred baseball and oh my god, when

574
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 2: you know you're just a five hundred team, and then

575
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: the second you have to get to when the when

576
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: the shit gets tough and there's series that there's little

577
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: micro plays that mean everything. That's when you get beat

578
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: by the team that's feeling themselves and as happy and

579
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: is not motivated, but that's emotionally involved and in a

580
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: way that you can be, you can channel.

581
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: You think this team misses Jesse Winker just like for

582
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: the vibes, I guess, but like because they're still He's

583
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: still there. He's not dead, I know, But I don't

584
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: know they's there such a lack of vibes right now

585
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: with this team and that was like what propelled them

586
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: last year.

587
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: Kind of, but like there should be some vibe, like

588
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: the fact that like there's a lack of vibes. Francisco

589
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 2: Albers coming back to my min league two weeks ago,

590
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: should be and administrator, like you should that should be

591
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: administering vibes. And I think he did administer vibes, think

592
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: that they team felt those vibes. But we just get

593
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: to these fifty to fifty opportunities. I keep I know

594
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 2: Sunday was bad, and you guys probably when he was

595
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: talking about Sunday, but I can't stop thinking about the

596
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: tenth inning on Friday, the tenth thing on Friday. I

597
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: know Rand and we talked. We lotted tons of praise

598
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 2: in RANDERM. Driggs because I that was why I did

599
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: the individual podcast last week where he's one of the

600
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: best relievers in baseball. He's a newly meant to closer

601
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: in this Giants team. You got to get one run home.

602
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 2: You have to if you're a really good team, if

603
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: you want to get to the places you want to

604
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: get to, and people still talk to you about David

605
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: Starts not addressing in rotation again, like it's like, well

606
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 2: if you've done for me lately, But David Starts put

607
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: his foot down. He got it. You got the relievers

608
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 2: that you need. Is bullpen is now fucking awesome. And

609
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: it's a funny thing where it's like how good is

610
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: the boat? Like high Lever's bullpens doesn't really matter when

611
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: you're down by four runs and the six inning. So

612
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: but he put his foot down. It was like, this

613
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 2: is a team that we think is ready to win.

614
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 2: You acquire guys like Ryan Helsing, Tyler Rodgers for prospects

615
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 2: and ready to win right or relievers the other guys

616
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: they have to hold up their ends of the bargain.

617
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: Soon the dog days of summer means is time for

618
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,639

Speaker 1: forward a week and be like, do I feel better? Maybe?

642
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: Because I don't right now, I definitely don't. It's just

643
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: it's an exhausting, exhausting team to watch play right now

644
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: because it's just not it's not very good. But hey,

645
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: I don't know things will get better. I guess is

646
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: that how what we're gonna say.

647
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say things will get better, but we're

648
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: just it's talking about the fact that there's things that

649
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: have to get better that it's kind of hard to

650
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: put your finger on.

651
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, besides, just like score more runs, well, yeah, score.

652
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: More runs, yeah, hit ball heart. A lot of people

653
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: definitely want hear us talking about want SOA's risk. I

654
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 2: don't know I want so. There's so many other reasons

655
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: why they seem struggling besides want Soto, yes, And it's

656
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: like I think a lot of people on to scapegout.

657
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 2: The guy makes the most money, but he's he's doing fine.

658
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: I know a few weeks that the money conversation with Soto,

659
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: Like I get why people get on him. He's a

660
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: seven hundred million dollar player, sure, like he's getting paid

661
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: all this money, he should never fail, right, That's that's

662
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: the take, is because he's making all that money. But

663
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about you. Actually, I think I do

664
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: know it so doesn't matter to me at all how

665
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: much he's getting paid whatsoever. It's it's never gonna matter

666
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: to me for a second. It never affects my pocket,

667
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: it never affects my families, doesn't have any outcome on

668
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: what I do in my day to day life besides

669
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: watch Wan so to play baseball for the team that

670
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: I like.

671
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: You know, it's ironic. It probably doesn't even affect the

672
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: guy that pays him, Steve Going, you know what I mean,

673
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: Like that the money that Steve bays want So is

674
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: is insignificant compared to what Steve Going has. So it's

675
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 2: like there's no one should be caring about the dos

676
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 2: and cents, and the people that are, I think just

677
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: want to find reasons to be like why is this

678
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: he bad? It's escape the conversations, that's fair, Like if

679
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: that's the way that you can feel better, Like, hey.

680
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: You guys, like Wan SODA's contract was always going to

681
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: look horrible. It's an unprecedented amount of money.

682
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: There's this bad conversation anyway, because that it just doesn't matter.

683
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: It just doesn't It doesn't matter.

684
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: But that's you know, and you know what's going to

685
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: happen next week is like four home runs. We're gonna

686
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: be like, oh my God, this is great.

687
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: We love one soda, well, we love one so we've

688
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: never stopped liking On.

689
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: So I'm saying, wants to ends the season nine. I'm

690
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: gonna be like, yes, the deal. You can't wait for

691
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: Night to watch him hit the next year. But it's

692
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: just about this time in the middle when this is

693
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: the part of the fact that you're supposed to have

694
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 2: a D team, You're supposed to have a very successful

695
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 2: top with the order. When someone is cold, you should

696
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: not know this because other guys are hot. And in

697
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: fact that Francisco and Door and Planzo have been cold

698
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: for seven consecutive weeks, it's combined. I mean, think about

699
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: the one game those guys both went off.

700
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they scored eleven runs.

701
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Like, it's if you could, if

702
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: you could have told a Mets fan in March, your

703
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: team will go as far as Lindor and Alonzo will

704
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: take you. You'll be like, yes, the World Series. Yeah,

705
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: But that's that's kind of the The next is the

706
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: crux where we are right now, where if those guys aren't,

707
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: which they haven't, it's hard to go forward.

708
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: Now that being said, Lindor did swing the bat a

709
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: little bit better on Sunday too. That got another hit.

710
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: I think as well, it was.

711
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: It's just it's still again. I get that. That is

712
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: the thing why I guess I'm not dooming gloomy despite

713
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: the way we're sounding and talking. Oh yeah, I'm not

714
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: doing m gloom I'm just I know those guys will hit.

715
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 2: So it's like once they hit, who cares, no big deal?

716
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: Especially again right now, Marfianto's has looked better in the

717
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: last two weeks. Things looked all season, still not great,

718
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: but better Becasius Guilber's looks good, like actually good.

719
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Rize he was so happy today he had two

720
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: opposon Fields Hairror hits today.

721
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, with the way the bomb and

722
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: the order looks right now, if you have told me

723
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: this in June twenty third, they'd be like, all right,

724
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: if the bomb looks like this, we're back, We're good,

725
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: no big deal. But the fact that we've gone the

726
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 2: seven to eight weeks of the same bullshit, it's like

727
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: someone do something together at the same time.

728
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: So Cerviac Maulins looks pretty good, looks fun.

729
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: It looks because he spark plugs good ball player. You

730
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: see a lot of things Cedric Mullins does and it's good.

731
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: And then like, just I want to talk about Frankie

732
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: mons Is briefly quickly, because I know people are freaking

733
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: the fuck out about him. There's something that's happened with

734
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: Frankie where he seems to max ow'svelosty early and not

735
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: be able to get it back. That's a really relevant

736
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: thing as to why he's struggling. At the same time,

737
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: it's like he's leaving a lot of fastballs in his zone,

738
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: which is that that's Frankie fastballs. That's what he does.

739
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: Looks a lot more like Frankie meatballs these days. He

740
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: threw really bad past the rap field divers and then

741
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: he probably should have been out of that fourth hitting, truthfully.

742
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: And then I thought it was weird that he then

743
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: came back out for the fifth but then only faced

744
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: one matter. It was like, well, the game just keep pitching,

745
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: ye who cares at that point? Let me get to

746
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: one hundred pitches, Like, who cares this game? That game

747
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: is over it. That was a weird decision as well.

748
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: I mean that kind of does come back to the

749
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: and those are the stuff that we talked about a

750
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: lot this season where the feel isn't the same spot

751
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: that was last year, and it seems apparent that he

752
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: doesn't have the finger on the pulse in the same

753
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: degree he did. Again, maybe it just seems like that

754
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: because the team's winning games less consistently, but it does

755
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: feel like there are so many of these little teams,

756
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: and again, there weren't many others this series, so we're

757
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: kind of harping on one one fall thing that happened,

758
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: But there just seems to be a little bit more

759
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: of an uncertainty with the calls that are being made

760
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: at the times are being made.

761
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: Everything feels uncertain with this team right now.

762
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: It just doesn't feel that. It just doesn't feel les secure.

763
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel that good. Like it's a shitty word,

764
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: but just doesn't feel good right now, feels good light

765
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: day in day out. It's like they should feel better

766
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: because they're good. They're good baseball players. We know they're good.

767
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: Like we see the back of these guys baseball cars

768
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: and we're like, these guys are good. We're lacking some

769
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: good on this team that should be better, you know what. Also,

770
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: all the bullshit we're saying shout Austin Warren. Shout Austin Warren,

771
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: He's awesome war Austin Warren ripping four scoreless innings in

772
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: that game on Sunday, after Mantas having a zero point

773
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: nine to six yer Ra in the season and then

774
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: giving away the Ryan standing to get absolutely lit on

775
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: fire in that ninth inning, it was Austin Warren to

776
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: take good.

777
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: Secret sweepers did good, also pouring out per Rico Garcia

778
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: DF eight again.

779
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: I mean hopefully just we hopefully we getting back. But

780
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: I don't think this anyway. He passes through.

781
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: He seems quite good. Honestly, he's like he seems to

782
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: be actually a good picture.

783
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: But this is kind of what we talked to you

784
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: guys about last episode, where this Mets team is tight

785
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: right now, and I guess that's the last place we'll

786
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: take with like the series conversation where people keep clamoring

787
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: sprot McLain spoke McLain's brot McLain. I don't know whose

788
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: roster spot they get. I don't that's not right now.

789
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: Last time, I think Frankie Montas probably due for a phantom.

790
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: I la he's not gonna get I wouldn't be shocked

791
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: if by the time you guys are hearing us talk

792
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 2: to Frankie Mathis on the il with a shoulder strain.

793
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: Impingement.

794
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: Impingement, Yes here hear about impingement somewhere, and if that happens, contusion,

795
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: you guys will see Paul Blackburn back. I just it

796
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: doesn't seem it seems like this team doesn't really want

797
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: to bring those guys into the fire at this moment

798
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: until they physically have to. I understand that people want

799
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: to see them, but the way there's roster's aligned right there,

800
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: there's no optionable pictures.

801
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: And again, I want just to be known, this is

802
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: not us saying we don't want these guys I would

803
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: very much like to see them at the major league level.

804
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: We're just telling you the realistic fact that there's not

805
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: really space right now, how this roster's working.

806
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: And while we all want to see them, the people

807
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: who know the most about them are the people making

808
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: these decisions. So there might be things that we can't

809
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: see or we don't know about why they don't think

810
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: these guys are actually ready to face a full line

811
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: up of major league kickers.

812
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: When do you think we'd do you see one of

813
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: these guys.

814
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: Probably soon.

815
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: I think you think one of the September call up

816
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: when we get the extra two guys, I think.

817
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: We see one of them in August. It just seems

818
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: like a way where it's like, let's say, frank g

819
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: let's just let's play the bullshit snare out in our heads.

820
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: Frankie Montis goes in the phantom my al Paul Blackburn

821
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: comes up. Say Paul Blackburan pitches one good game, one

822
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: bad game, one okay game, one terrible game. Now we're

823
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: in August twenty sixth, Frankie Montsis is not healthy yet.

824
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 2: You probably give one of these guys a chance, Like right,

825
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 2: I would hope, So, I'd really hope. Bro bransprochers like

826
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: lit the world on fire in August. He looks incredible,

827
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 2: but at the same time, until Dreams last episode, he

828
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: didn't throw any curve balls in his last start. So

829
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: there's still probably are some hurdles into the difference between

830
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: the minor league pitching and the major league pitching. And

831
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 2: every time we talk to the met Eddie, every time

832
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: we talk about prospects, we talk about this where the

833
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: cavern between Triple A and the Major league is why

834
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 2: there's ever been in the past. So just having like

835
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: a zero point ninety six R and five triple A

836
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: starts doesn't really mean anything at the end of the day.

837
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: So it's hard for us to be like, that's the

838
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: reason he should be up because we know it's not,

839
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: and they know more than we know about like the

840
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,239
Speaker 2: per pitch, the per at bat, the lefty righty, all

841
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: that stuff. So I don't know. I can't scold them

842
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: for not doing it, but I would like to see it.

843
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 2: As a fan.

844
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only thing that I can say is I

845
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: do think that those guys give us a better chance

846
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: to win than Paul Blackbird, David Stearns are whoever's making

847
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: these decisions or we're having this conversation. You can't look

848
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: at yourself in the mirror and be like, yeah, Paul Blackbird,

849
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: that's that's my guy.

850
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: That's your guy.

851
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul Blackbird.

852
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: As the feels like, oh, donal Greco's on this right now,

853
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 2: that's how I feel. I don't want to act like that,

854
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: but that is how I feel. You know, that's where

855
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: it is. But I that was a series recap, right

856
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 2: for the agents too. Straight series recaps, we just didn't

857
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 2: talk about anything specific, just feelings.

858
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: And the series were terrible. They're so bad even the game,

859
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: like you said on a Saturday, the code I giving

860
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: it back up. He was like, oh my god, like

861
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: the Giants pitcher was horrible. Tang, he was horrendous. He

862
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: was he is, he is a not not a major

863
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: league baseball player.

864
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: Kaywait, Tang. I mean he might be one day, but

865
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 2: as a right now, right now, ye old rookie didn't

866
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: seem like his unit though, six four, two fifty.

867
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: Big dude, big boy.

868
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just it didn't feel like again. The

869
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: blowout was great, watching the offense score runs, watching the

870
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: hits and runs scoring position. I I just I'm worried

871
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 2: about Coda Sanka's consistency. I know that for this team

872
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 2: to get where they want to get to, like Cola

873
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 2: Sangers has to be a guy. Kolias Sanker has to

874
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: be able to give you six innings. The fact that

875
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 2: we how we talks about every game that David Peterson

876
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: he's the only meant to give us six innings for

877
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: like eight weeks. Now he can see. I love how

878
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: much he brings it up because he's right. But it's

879
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: like he made a comment where about, like the average

880
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: start major League Baseball this year is under five to

881
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: two thirds innings, where he's like, I don't care. I

882
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 2: don't give a shit about the average. He's like, we

883
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: need to throw more innings than that, Like we want

884
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 2: to be good. Like we watched the guys go four

885
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: innings four and two thirds, you know what I mean.

886
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: It's like, let's pitch. It's not again. Partially, it's about

887
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: these guys who they are at the end of the day.

888
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 2: And like I think a lot of people are also

889
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: criticizing Davis Surs for not going on getting a starter

890
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: this deadline. No one got a star. They there was

891
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: one good star that moved in all of baseball. His

892
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: name was Mariyl Kelly. That was it.

893
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 1: And he was traded for like probably like one injured

894
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: ish type prospect and like we kind of like went

895
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: injury and think that he could have more value towards

896
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: like it in a little bit longer, like you wait

897
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: till next year, maybe he'd even be a prospect that

898
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: is pretty valuable in the system. Like they gave up

899
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: the Rangers gave up I think too.

900
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: Cool Drake And yeah.

901
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: And no they give up three pitchers, David Hageman and

902
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: it was Pratt.

903
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: It was like two top one fifty guys and then

904
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: the other guy who was like interesting.

905
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: Kind of a lot for Merrill Kelly it was.

906
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: But also like I've heard Cubs fans talking about this,

907
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 2: We've heard Tigers fans talking about the ball. No one

908
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: got the starting pitcher. This trade deadline didn't even happen,

909
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: Like Merril Kelly is the only guy literally, I mean

910
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: Michael Soroko, who was kind of half a starting pitcher,

911
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: Charlie Morton, like that, these were the starting pitchers that moved.

912
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: The Yankees didn't get a starting pitcher, They got three relievers,

913
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like every single team would

914
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: need a pitch just slam bullpen, slam bullpen, slam bullpen.

915
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: So it's not always about exactly what your guy failed

916
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: to do, was more about what the market dictates. Like

917
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: that's kind of how it all works. Since Dusted the

918
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: Red Socks got dust In May for James Tibbs, the

919
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 2: guy that just got from Rafaeld Devers. Dustin May is

920
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: a bad picture with two more months of team control.

921
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: That was such a desperation play by general manager who

922
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 2: looked like he was. And then the end, but then

923
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: the Reds Solcts show up and sweep the Astros. You

924
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: know what I mean, of course, yeah, but that's again

925
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: like that's that's baseball. It's the best part of the

926
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: bat it It's just it's funny to look at all

927
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: this stuff in context. We're like, we're gonna learn a

928
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 2: lot more next few weeks. We're gonna learn a lot

929
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: more as we transition. Here is the next series that

930
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 2: they're going to play against the Cleveland Guardians, a team

931
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 2: that saw soul the deadline as a five hundred baseball

932
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: team in the American League where eighty five wins to

933
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: get you in.

934
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: Well, they they sold one player, right, They got rid

935
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: of Shane Bieber. I think that was the only guy

936
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: that they traded, and they brought in one prospect because

937
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: one of the guys that they were looking to trade gambling. Gotcha.

938
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 2: We're not gonna see mental class in this series against

939
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: Cleveland Guardians or Luis Ortiz or the all debably not

940
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: to either of them. But some Monday night, seven ten

941
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: or can I might be there. We'll find out. Sean

942
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: and I ever Slay Chaconi Baisande.

943
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: Slave's been pretty good, right, Slave's been good.

944
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 2: Slave's good with Slave's becoming like the chatt Innings either

945
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: in like a really funny way. But then Tuesday night

946
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes for seventy seven pitches versus Logan Allen. It's

947
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: also weirdly been.

948
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: Good for seventy seven pitches as well.

949
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 2: And Wednesday as off Mattinee David Pearson versus Gavin Williams.

950
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: He will be two stars the All Star Game in

951
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 2: like twenty twenty seven.

952
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: That's a Hall matchup as well, a lot of matchups.

953
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: One of the tallest matches we're gonna see as David

954
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: Pearson six seven. It's gave Williams like sixty six.

955
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, good extension.

956
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: It's funny think about this Guardian team because it's hard

957
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: to it's hard to remember now, but the last time

958
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: we played them, we got swept embarrassingly in Cleveland at

959
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: a time when last year the met twenty twenty four

960
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: season seemed to be absolutely either wits end. And they're

961
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: not a bad team by any means, Like they're a

962
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 2: fine they're an objectively fine baseball team. They're a good,

963
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 2: solid five hundred ball club. You look at the Guardians,

964
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: Like in the American League, it's a ball club. It's

965
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: a ball club.

966
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: They play baseball. They do play baseball. I mean Jose Airmirez.

967
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 1: Everyone knows how good he is, but perennial first ballot

968
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, he's so awesome, He's so ridiculously good.

969
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: Everyone should make sure over the next few years, even

970
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: just a few months, like make sure you take a

971
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: few moments out of your weeks to respect Jose A Ramirez. Yeah,

972
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 2: because we've watched one of the better baseball players that

973
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: many of us will ever see in our lives in

974
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: terms of baseball on the field, the way he conducts

975
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 2: himself off the field, his right hook on the field,

976
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: like everything that Hose Air Miras has done as a

977
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: baseball players. Like he's just the kind of guy that

978
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: you want to watch. Like, Jose Air mir is a

979
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 2: guy where like if I'm scrolling through my LBTV, like

980
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: i I'll pop into a Guardian's game so I can

981
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: watch Jose Air Miraz.

982
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch Ose Airmirres like casually in his career

983
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: hit like four hundred homers, have like four hundred solen bases,

984
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: and play gold glove caliber defense at third base, Like, yeah,

985
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: give it to me right now.

986
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: We're watching two of like the four or five their

987
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 2: basement history of baseball.

988
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Machado and.

989
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: Him, Yeah yes, And I'm.

990
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: Saw there's also one of one of the ten best

991
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: probably are now stopped right before he could have been great.

992
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: One of my worst takes of all time, thinking that

993
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 2: he had another year in him because he looks fucking.

994
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: Decrepit accountability hand up, look at that one hundred percent.

995
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. That's why we're here.

996
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 2: But I just I love jose Airmras like I mean too.

997
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: I went going to college Ohio a lot of friends

998
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: who are Guardians Cleveland fans, and it's like the admiration

999
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: they feel for this guy, the the way they defend

1000
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: him in the national baseball landscape, was like, you're not

1001
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: talking I get text some friends. You're not talking about

1002
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 2: Josier Amrrz enough. If I do, when I do, my

1003
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 2: big toylet threats. So like, you didn't mention Josier amirs

1004
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: Is eight ninety six. Ops. I'm like, you know what,

1005
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 2: You're right, I didn't respect enough because I'm just so

1006
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: used to him being casually and consistently incredible. That's hard

1007
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 2: to recognize that he's one of the best their basements

1008
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 2: ever stepped in the baseball field in the history of

1009
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 2: the world.

1010
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's so good. Uh and then offensively, there's not

1011
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: really much else.

1012
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 2: I think this is a couple other pretty interesting. I

1013
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: think that Cole Menzaro is a prospect who is the

1014
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 2: late bloomer because the Guardians demand you to be a

1015
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 2: late bloomer because they want to make sure they siphon

1016
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 2: off as much of your prime as possible because they

1017
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: don't pay people. Also, fun fact for the Guardians, a

1018
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: lot of you guys are probably Knicks fans, Rangers fans

1019
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: listening to this. They're owned by Paul Dolan, James's cousin.

1020
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: So you're like, wow, why don't the Guardian spend any money.

1021
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: That's that's how James All would act if you like,

1022
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 2: have the only sports arena in Manhattan.

1023
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: See it's the Dolan effect. They're cheap. Yeah, Manzarto Manzardo

1024
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: hits the ball hard, he's got good top Stephen Kwan

1025
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be Pesky's gonna get a bunch of singles,

1026
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: get on base defense out in left field. He's a

1027
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: good ballplayer that's kind of in offensively though, I.

1028
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 2: So Cjkafis was just called up. This CJ. Cafis is

1029
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 2: again similar to Manzar, though not the same acclaim, not

1030
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: the same level of draft pick, that same level of prospect,

1031
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: an older guy who's coming up without much of a

1032
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: defensive home d H. They're trying to make Cafes play

1033
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 2: the corner outfield because the Guardians haven't really had a

1034
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 2: corner outfield and like our all lives, no right, they've

1035
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: never really got out and like actually paid like the

1036
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 2: eleven million dollars many a competent corner outfield. And yeah,

1037
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 2: but ninety ninety eight and nine the Guardians had the

1038
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: former Indians had real corner outfield. Cafus is a guy

1039
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: that generally makes good swing decisions, generally lifts the ball,

1040
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: and generally has very good power. He's someone that think

1041
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 2: profiles as I don't know if he's going to be

1042
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: corner outfield. If Zara's first base, it seems like DH,

1043
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: but he seems like a twenty five home or two

1044
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: sixty guy.

1045
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: Can I can I test it?

1046
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1047
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: Austin Hedges is on this baseball team Wow, Yeah, you

1048
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: want to know what his OPS plus is? I'm testing it.

1049
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: This is the ultimate test. What's his ops plus.

1050
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 2: Forty four?

1051
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's way lower twenty four. His career ops

1052
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: plus is fifty one. Austin Hedges is a negative war

1053
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: player for his career with an ops plus that is like, basically,

1054
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: we'll take anybody to hit except you. I can't believe

1055
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: he saw on this team, you know, shout out Austin Hedges. Though,

1056
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: remember when the Mets were gonna trade noa cinderguard for

1057
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: him and Menuel Marco every single year. What a bunch

1058
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: of losers that entire trade became.

1059
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 2: I mean, No, Sindego was just released by the White Sox.

1060
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: Bring him home. That's we need Team City to have

1061
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: their race for the fucking alumni game. But the funny

1062
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: thing about as we ragging the Guardians is not really rag.

1063
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: It's just like I still would actually put them in

1064
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 2: the camp of like a good organization. Yeah right, Like

1065
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 2: even though we're spending, we're talking about a lot of

1066
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 2: these guys that have like six seventy ops is seven

1067
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: to ten ops. But still like you put them together.

1068
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 2: It's like like bow Naylor, I thought was going to

1069
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 2: be a better player. He still might because you know

1070
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: how Lake Ketchers bloom Bow Naylor famously two years old

1071
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 2: em Francisco al for us still struggling in the early

1072
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 2: part of his career, Carlson. They brought back Carlson tannas

1073
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 2: year tried to like kind of shoot the gap winning

1074
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 2: the margins. Swapping out him for Josh Naylor didn't work,

1075
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 2: And like that Brian Rochio, Gabrie Larius and on how Martinez,

1076
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 2: the Guardians just keep faking these shortstop prospects and trying

1077
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: to put them anywhere else in the field and just

1078
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 2: keep running out there for six eighty Ops's like it's

1079
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: Nolan Jones famously a Guardian's probab aspect that they sent

1080
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: to the Rockies who had one blow up season, acquire

1081
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 2: him back because thinks, again, it's just it's it's it's

1082
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: just I don't know. I feel bad for this Guardian's team,

1083
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 2: because this Guardian's team probably over the last decade, what

1084
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: have a ring? If they actually owners that kid about

1085
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: winning baseball games rather than like profit margins.

1086
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: Spend like ten percent more money, they would have had

1087
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: at least one World Series ring.

1088
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: And It's funny too to think about this team with

1089
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: like Francisco Indoor, and we think about trades. We just

1090
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: had the trade deadline and prospects and all this stuff,

1091
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 2: and you look back at a trade like that where

1092
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 2: you gave up literally and not literally because Andressy Mennez

1093
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 2: is a baseball player who is a fine baseball player,

1094
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: so on roster, and Dressy Meniz could definitely start, and

1095
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 2: he will start, and he could addressing Menus could be

1096
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: the second basement the World Series champion East. Yeah, but

1097
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 2: you look back and you're just like, what the fucking

1098
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 2: slam dunk, absolute win double windmill tomahawk that trade was?

1099
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 2: You make that every single time. And you watch his

1100
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 2: team now and you're like, they could really use a

1101
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 2: short stop.

1102
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 1: They could really use it short stop.

1103
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: This team could really use a franchise cornerstone shortstop. And

1104
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 2: you know what the is where they haven't had it

1105
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 2: in five years.

1106
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: Last thing I'll mentioned about the Guardians. I don't know

1107
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: if you've got anything else to say, but Kate Smith.

1108
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: We saw him last year. I remember watching him when

1109
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: the Mets faced him, and I was like, who is

1110
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: this guy? He's an absolutely freak on the mount he's

1111
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: the closer now, he's lights out. Hunter Gaddis as well

1112
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: is really good and Jake Judas is gonna throw what

1113
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: seventy five percent sliders? So like this bullpen, Yeah, this

1114
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: bullpen is good. So you got to get a lead.

1115
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: You can hit that.

1116
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: You can hit the starting pitching for sure.

1117
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 2: And our one of our favorite bullpen team is Lee.

1118
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 2: Carls Sernande's in this bullpen now and is he really?

1119
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 2: And I'm sure within twelve months they were going to

1120
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: turn Carlos Hernanda's back into a high leverage guy who

1121
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: throws a hundred miles an hour.

1122
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: He was from the Royals, right, that's Carlos Hernandez.

1123
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretcent what the phill is? Yeah, but it's just

1124
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: it's a he just this Mets team just has to

1125
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 2: play better. Literally, we've had like all these like cloaks

1126
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: that we've gone behind when the team played. Poiler's like, oh,

1127
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 2: that's play better at home, let's ruffle the batting wires.

1128
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 3: This is that.

1129
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: It's like, you just gotta do it. It's August. Yeah,

1130
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: there's a weird that you gotta play.

1131
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: There's a weird thing though that Lindor two p four

1132
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: completely on Ice Coold since they went into those spots.

1133
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: I am gonna say that again.

1134
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 2: But where do you put them? Where can you put them?

1135
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: I know, I'm saying, like lind Or has this weird

1136
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: thing where he has to hit lead off and Pete

1137
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: like has to hit third. I don't know, it's confusing.

1138
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do there. I don't know.

1139
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 2: But he's been four and he's been good. It's just batting.

1140
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: Whether I understand the mentality of it, but there has

1141
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: to be something that happens here.

1142
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they just gotta hit. They did. They should

1143
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: not actually care about where they hit in the or

1144
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: they should just be able to hit anywhere they go.

1145
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 2: And we're not saying they do. I actually don't think

1146
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: they do it all. It's just it's time. It's time

1147
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 2: to play.

1148
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: Baseball, time to play a little ball. It's August fourth,

1149
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: playing the Guardians tonight. Let's gonna win. Let's smack this

1150
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: team around, Let's just play play a good, clean game.

1151
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna wrap it up though with of course, our

1152
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: boy Frankie Peppers sending us out here on the episode.

1153
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: Was he got for us?

1154
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need little Frankie after this, because this was

1155
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 2: you me being like Patty and pissy the whole time. Frankie. Here,

1156
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 2: here's Frankie Peppers. I just like the message to click

00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 2: plays say.

1158
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 4: I don't understand what's going on with the rotation right now.

1159
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 4: It seems like it's all sort of falling apart, and

1160
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 4: I don't like that. I don't think anyone is enjoying it.

1161
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 4: But we got to figure this out, and soon do

1162
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 4: we bring up a kid. We might have to bring

1163
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 4: up a kid. I don't know. I'm sure you already

1164
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 4: talk about it, but that's you know. I'm not certain

1165
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 4: the bats look real nice on Saturday, Pete with US

1166
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty at home run, there's a chance

1167
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 4: that when we're all there on Wednesday we might see

1168
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 4: something special. I doubt it, but ay, you never know.

1169
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 4: On boys, if you catch that home run bowl, I

1170
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 4: will I will give you free sauceful life in exchange

1171
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 4: for that base bowl, shipping included, so I will mail

1172
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,040

1176
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 4: will see you on Wednesday, mets.

1177
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: It's a good thing that this is a private podcast.

1178
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: No one will know that Frankie's giving us that offer.

1179
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, thankfully, Frankie just sent it to the private conversation

1180
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: that you and I have together. So I guess I

1181
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 2: anyone ever heard that if specifically on Wednesday there's a

1182
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 2: historical home rude hit by Pete Alonzo. Legally speaking, I'm

1183
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: not a lawyer. You might be entitled to something that

1184
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 2: Frankie just offered, which was free sauce for life.

1185
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: And we've had his bolognas. It's incredible, So it's a

1186
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: great Bolognies. It's good sauce. Trust the sauce, Trust the

1187
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: sauce always.

1188
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: But anyone catches that ball and we work something out.

1189
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

1190
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: That's it. I'm done.

1191
