It was 33 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: my favorite Kendre Miller. Yeah, Kendre Miller to day. 34 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: Let's go Taij. 35 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 2: Twenty one years old. He's like two hundred fifteen pounds, 36 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: He's a physical specimen, he's great college production. He could 37 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: be a monster. 38 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: Well, I went against your pick. I went tai J Spears. 39 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: Now it's kicker in defense. We won't have to hear 40 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: about that, not at all. 41 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: I did the same thing at draft yesterday. I went 42 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: Taij over Kendre Miller. I just have Kendra Miller. So 43 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: many teams from like some little little diversification, but weird, 44 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: fun strange Mets week, just two game series the middle 45 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: of the week. Weird, weird not having the Mets on 46 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: Labor Day. Really didn't like that. Yes, so I think 47 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: this year the Mets didn't play on either Memorial Day 48 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: or Labor Day if I remember correctly. 49 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: Which is crazy too, because I think I've been to 50 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: a Labor Day game in Washington before Mets Nationals. I 51 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: think I went twenty nineteen. 52 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: That was that they played. 53 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, so ooh, I wasn't at that one. I was 54 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: there for the Sunday. Then I was there right. 55 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: Before Labor Day. 56 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: That was the game. 57 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: Oh godda night that was the game. 58 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: Yeah series, you're not joking. That was just the worst 59 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: loss ever. Okay, no more normal bad game talk, nor 60 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: more bad game talk. Let's talk about the good one. 61 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: But yeah, crazy they didn't play on Labor Day. It 62 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: feels like Labor Day, fourth of July, Memorial Day are 63 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: all gay days that every single baseball team should be 64 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: playing no matter what. 65 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: And no Mets and no Yankees on labor days. New 66 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: York City had no baseball on Labor Day. Weird, so weird, 67 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: no bizarre, but yeah, game one. 68 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: Game one was good. I mean the bats came out 69 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: swinging bats, came out hot. It was fantastic. This is 70 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: the kind of stuff you expect the Mets to do 71 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: to the Nationals at the start of the season. Obviously, 72 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: our records are kind of similar, so can't really trash 73 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: the Nationals too much here, But I mean, that was 74 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: what you expected when you thought of these two teams 75 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: playing this year. 76 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: Totally, and there was a lot of good feeling going 77 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: into this game because this was the first time we 78 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: had all four Baby Mets in a lineup together, Brett Baty, 79 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: Francisco Alvarez, Ryan Marizo, and Mark Viento's and all of 80 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: them were part of the offensive of just onslaught that 81 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 2: we gave to Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals, who 82 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 2: was a good feeling star love hot right away. Nimmon 83 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: Lindor got on eventually came around on a freaking moonshot 84 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: from Francisco Alvarez that was just hammered farge to twenty feet. 85 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: He admired it right out to a left field It 86 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: was just beautiful, beautiful home run twenty second of the 87 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: year for our. 88 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: Runs since August first as well, which he definitely needed 89 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: to get one. Yeah, he hadn't hit one and since 90 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: August first, I believe was the date. I really think 91 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: there was one in between there. I'm an double check 92 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: you right now as a double They said it on 93 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: the broadcast. They said it on the broadcast. 94 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: They sat on the broadcast. 95 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: I believe in them. 96 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a radio game for me. But let's 97 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: see fangers. 98 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: But I mean, definitely needed that one, definitely. Just he's 99 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: been a little bit of a funk. I think we 100 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: know that, but to seem swing the bat well, he's 101 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: been hitting the ball harder recently, a little more consistently. 102 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: Good to get the camel off his back there a 103 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: little bit and start start playing a little bit better 104 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: at the plate. 105 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Alfarez also, and this happens to I think, to 106 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: a lot of young players and get the first around 107 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: the major leagues because like, I'm never going to say 108 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: that any level of baseball for any players easy. But 109 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: I definitely think there was a point in time where 110 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: to s Guaalaverres was just you know, having his fun 111 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: with the minor leagues, like he never at any level 112 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: of the minor league's. His lowest WRC plus was one 113 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: hundred twenty one, and that was just a twenty game 114 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: sample to end twenty twenty two in Triple A. But 115 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: last year he only he played one hundred and I'm 116 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: doing this mental math right now, great podcasting one hundred 117 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: and twelve games and he is at one hundred and 118 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: ten now for this season. So it's you kind of 119 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: hit a wall like that. When you catch every single day, 120 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: you're getting in day with information as you are with 121 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: a catcher like Alvarez, you're learning so many new things. 122 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: Also another tidbit we got from the game on Tuesday, 123 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: learning English on the side, like really making great strides there. 124 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: Cool SoundBite from Gelbs that he was telling him like 125 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: I want to do a practice interview in English, and 126 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: I want to do one for real, And he did 127 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: one for real after the game on Tuesday. Then him 128 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: and Alan tapped up a little bit. He gave that 129 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: like wonderful. Francis Gualvera's great. It was a cool moment. 130 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 2: But you're just I mean, young player. You're going to 131 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: hit a wall when you've played more more competitive baseball 132 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: in a row and you've played your entire life. I 133 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: think that's fine, Like I don't think I'm happy that 134 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: as Mets fans and even just as us in the show, 135 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: Like Franciscualavarez has been so good this year that he's 136 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: earned so much goodwill that like, no one's really gonna 137 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: be like, oh my god, his stats are falling apart. No, 138 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 2: it's not like that at all. Like Cisqualavres has the 139 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: second most home runs ever for a catcher in a 140 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: single season before they turned twenty two years old. He's 141 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: only four behind Johnny Bench now for the record. 142 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: There. 143 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no home runs since that home run in 144 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: Kansas City on August first. That's an incredibly long time. 145 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: That's nuts. But again, it's no no qualms of this guy. 146 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 2: Every single thing he does great, even stole his first 147 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: career base on Tuesday night, which is really cool. Just 148 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: so happy to see him be happy. 149 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Mets are in a better place when Franciscu 150 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: Alverrez is swinging it well. And like you said, it's 151 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: just it was also cool to just see the four 152 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: baby Mets in the lineup, as you alluded to earlier, 153 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: seeing Viento's baby Mauricio Alvarez in there, those guys that 154 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: all came up together played together. It felt like they 155 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: really just kind of jolted a little bit of energy 156 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: into the lineup and everybody kind of fed off of it. 157 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: So fantastic the game offensively. 158 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of first for those guys as well. 159 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: Tuesday night, first career triple from Mark Vientos. I mentioned 160 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: the first career steal for Francisco Alvarez and he was like, 161 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: kind of funny bout it after he was like, yeah, 162 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: he just told me to go, and just I just went. 163 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 2: They didn't even throw. And the first career RBI for 164 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: Ronnie Maricio, who just continues to look like such this 165 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: is the worry from Rico. Such an athlete in the 166 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: box and in the field. He's just like again like 167 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: Monday Night, like Jets Jets Bills, Like what's he doing? 168 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: Like why can't he go on the outside, Why can't 169 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: he go up for a jump ball. I don't know 170 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: if he's ever thrown a Carlo football, just coming from 171 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: the Tomican Republic, but I'd love to see him do it. 172 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 2: Also home runs from Lindor Pete and two from Nemo 173 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 2: and just overall won of the best offensive games for 174 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: the Mets the whole season. 175 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really really enjoyable to watch, just a 176 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: beat down of the Washington Nationals again. While I was ripping, 177 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: I had I had two more fantasy drafts last night. 178 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: Completely missed one of them because my cousin shout out Teddy. 179 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: He's like forty, I think is his agent. They only 180 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: communicate through email, so me didn't check my email expect 181 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: like a group text message. I checked my email just 182 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: because we're making a trip to Chicago the day that 183 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: you guys are listening to this, will be in Chicago 184 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: for the game. And I checked the email to see 185 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: what the bookings were and you know, flight information, and 186 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: I go, oh my god. The football draft started, Let 187 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: me get in there started at nine o'clock. I made 188 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: the last pick right before keeper, so I made the 189 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: last pick of the draft. Was taken out after that. 190 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean like to talk about King Tana too. 191 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: King Tana pitched another great game. Should we say it 192 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: one more time for the people here? 193 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: Just do it? 194 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean where this team could be if we 195 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: had them all year long? Who could have used them 196 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: in May and June? 197 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: Definitely? Because the length that he's just giving us a 198 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: regular basis, like the steady consistency is amazing. Tuesday Night 199 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: He went seven innings, only allowed four hits, one walk, 200 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: wonner and run first time completing seven innings in the 201 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: Mets uniform, which was great. He only hasn't completed six 202 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: innings twice. One of those was a seventy pitch I 203 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 2: thing against the White Sox and his Mets debut. Another 204 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: one was in Atlanta where he went five and two thirds, 205 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: just gave us some runs, so can't fault him for that. 206 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: But the guy's just so freaking steady, it's incredible. He 207 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: threw a lot of curveballs this time. Out of there 208 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: was his prime Mery pitch after kind of quitting throwing 209 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 2: that pitch last start against the Rangers, which we'll talk 210 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: about how long weeks feel. That feels like it happened 211 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: a long time ago. Started against the Rangers, and I 212 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: had I had my my crazy cousins in uh in 213 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: city Field. My little cousin says something really funny in 214 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: group chet the other I wanted to tell you, but 215 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: I forgot. I'll try to remember as we go along here. 216 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: But and now fifty four innings in the Mets uniform, 217 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: Eira is three point zer zero was something kind of weird, 218 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: which is a little ironic considering the little quick we 219 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: say for him every time out, like how different things 220 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 2: would it have been if he was out there. That's 221 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: a weirdly two and seven in his games. 222 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: It's nothing. 223 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: It's nothing to his fall. No, of course he keeps 224 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: throwing the stars. Yeah, it's just yeah, I guess he's 225 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 2: the you know, that's just it. Some just lack of 226 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 2: run support because he's pitches so well, but got a 227 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: lot of run support in this one, probably one of 228 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 2: the mets best offensive games of the entire season. Seventeen 229 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: hard hit balls seven times this year. They've done that 230 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 2: first time they did that since July sixth, and they 231 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: did that five of those seven times between April twentieth 232 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 2: and May twenty eighth, So definitely had that that hot 233 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 2: streak the offensive. Good see it happening again. Nemo talked 234 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: about having two home runs four hard hit balls, fourth 235 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: time this whole year he's done that. He did that 236 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: twice in a two week span in April and then 237 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: also twice in the last three weeks. But that ops 238 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: creeping back up to eight hundred. He's looking like he's 239 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 2: gonna get at least twenty five home runs of all things, 240 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: you know, go according to plan here. It's just continues 241 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: to be one of the most underrated players in baseball. 242 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: And Ryan Marisio three hard hit balls. As of the 243 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 2: end of the game on Tuesday, over fifty percent of 244 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: his balls and play were hit above ninety five miles 245 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: an no how or the hard hit so just continues 246 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: to do crazy things. Beautiful game. 247 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, Roni Mariisio a fun player to watch, making some 248 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: good plays too in the field defensively, looking very comfortable 249 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: at second base. Totally feels like he fits in. Completely 250 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: excited to see these guys up, Excited to see him 251 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: playing in good easy win for the Mets. Nice and easy. 252 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: We got it like a little stress, but I think 253 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: that's just Mets fans PTSD playing in Washington around this time. 254 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: So game one, great win. Moving on to Game two. 255 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: Jose Budo our guy we saw the last time we 256 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: saw him pitch out in relief and he was phenomenal. 257 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: It was great. I mean, he had us oogling and 258 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: oglin about just like, whoa this new Jose Budo in 259 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: this like short term maybe like a little long stretch 260 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: reliever role. Pretty disgusting. Then we saw him start today 261 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: against Washington, and he looked really good as well. 262 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: He did. I mentioned to you guys, and when you 263 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: went back down to the minor leagues, for some reason, 264 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: the sinkers came up in a big way and they hadn't. 265 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: That was not the case on Wednesday night. But heavy 266 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: fastball Arsenal over fifty percent of the pitches he threw, 267 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: then mixed in slides and change ups. We saw him 268 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: in relief. It was mostly fastballs and change ups and 269 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: some sliders. That was the pitch I mentioned to you guys, 270 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: that was the gyro slider, which, if you remember, is 271 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: a slider that falls over itself, almost mimics a curveball 272 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 2: movement but has Slyther spin and again like it falls 273 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 2: over itself just like blah blah blah, so it's it's 274 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 2: dropping much more in the sliding. That pitch was really good. 275 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 2: The fastball was Sat ninety five, that Slyder sat eighty seven, 276 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: the change up was eighty six. Every pitch was up 277 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 2: in velocity across the board. We definitely again once he 278 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: hit that like fifty five sixty pitch mark, he saw 279 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: a lass hetail down again. But in that seventh inning 280 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: that he came back out for couldn't finish. You saw 281 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: him get a couple more pitches back up into the 282 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 2: ninety six range. This is a guy I mentioned it 283 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 2: with McGill two where it kind of felt like I 284 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: didn't know what the future is going to hold, But 285 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: he looks like someone who absolute should be on a 286 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: major league roster and pitching, if not every fifth day, 287 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: like every third out of the bullpen for bulk, because 288 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: he's doing a lot of good things. And something else 289 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: that was a weird This is gonna be weird, I'm 290 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 2: gonna say as a positive, but like here here my 291 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: logic on real quick. Jose bu I wouldn't even really 292 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: say had great command in this start, Like he was 293 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 2: leaving a lot of pitches over the middle, including his fastball. 294 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 2: He was burying a lot of changeups, lowing into the 295 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: right handers and outside to the lefties, and then the 296 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: slider again, slides were kind of all over the place. 297 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: He had a couple on the edge, a couple were hung. 298 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: But even with him not having very good command, he 299 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: was still incredibly effective. And that's a testament to the 300 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: stuff Like that's kind of a way you can tell 301 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: when guys have good stuff. The thing that really elevated 302 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now, which I'm just mentioning him because he's 303 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: on the mind. He had fourteen strikeouts Wednesday in six innings, 304 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: and he's he's just one of the most dominant pitchers 305 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 2: in baseball. He the Raised installed for him something called 306 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: universal Target, where his stuff was so nasty. They just 307 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: told them, hey, aim everything down in the middle. We 308 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: really don't care, like, stop trying to pick off corners, 309 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 2: like stop trying to be a picture from the nineteen nineties. 310 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: Just you are so good, your stuff is so alien. 311 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: Just throw it and they're probably not gonna hit anyway. 312 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: If they do, I don't know how much they're really 313 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: gonna do with it consistently. And that really changed the 314 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: game for Tayler glassdown. I learned that from a great 315 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: video from someone I mentioned on here a lot great 316 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: guy ins whether Lance Brasdowski. But again, I don't think 317 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: that's what the plan is with Budo. Doesn't seem like that. 318 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: It doesn't didn't look like Omar Deviz was set up 319 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: in the middle, look like he was moving his you know, 320 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: stuff around like you normally would. But just the fact that, 321 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 2: again the command wasn't great. A lot of stuff did 322 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: wind up a hung and a lot of pitches that 323 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 2: were probably supposed to just be in the shadow wounds 324 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: up being wasted. It still was very effective, and this 325 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: is such an amazing step forward for Jose. 326 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: Budo one hundred percent. Like looked like you said, you 327 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,599 Speaker 1: could kind of tell when stuff was tailing off a 328 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: little bit as the game goes later and later. One 329 00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: thing they kept mentioning too on the S and Y 330 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: broadcast was how horrible his numbers were realistically in triple 331 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: A and how if you watched, if you saw the 332 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: numbers there and saw how he's pitched the last two 333 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: times at the Majors, you would be like, who is 334 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: this guy? That can't be the same guy because he's 335 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: looked really really solid, good stuff here with Jose Budo 336 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: of course getting the start, because Carlos Carrasco landing on 337 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: the il for what seems like it's going to be 338 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: the year four to six weeks. I think he sprained 339 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: his finger on a dumb bell, a fifty pound dumbbell. 340 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think they might say it was broken. 341 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 2: He got surgery, but not important. 342 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, just you know, sucks for Carlos Carrasco, which the 343 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: best for him, hope for a quick recovery, and then 344 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: just to talk about the offensive side a little bit here, 345 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: not a lot in this game, and Met's end up 346 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: losing this one, as you know, in a walk off 347 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: in the ninth inning. But just like watching Ronny Maurisio 348 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: play again, Brett Bady got a nice hit two at 349 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: some point in this game. But Mauricio, like you said, 350 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: such an athlete stealing bases, hitting the ball hard, constantly, 351 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: just putting himself in advantageous positions to make something happen, 352 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: which is just so refreshing to see. 353 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: It is, and it's just you really feel like it. 354 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 2: He's probably just a feeling thing. And we talked about 355 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 2: this in the last episode, but the fact that you 356 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: get down to the eighth spot in the line and 357 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 2: be like, oh, yes, run In Risio's hitting, Like I 358 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: really like watching run In Risio play baseball, Like this 359 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: guy has a lot of things that you don't really 360 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: see every day, and like two more hits, like for 361 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: four hundred bating average and only a handful of games 362 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: like he is not like these balls, just like squeaking 363 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: through and finding holes like this happens sometimes, but either 364 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: rope for one hundred and twelve miles an hour single 365 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: in the first sitting, which gave you the win in 366 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: estimate this week. But he just again he has the 367 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: ability to do things on a baseball field just in 368 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: general life and like not many other people have the 369 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 2: physical abilities to get done. And you can just see that, 370 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: like it's a cool thing. It's a really cool thing 371 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: washing him play and you talked about baby having a 372 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: hard hit ball. Also made a really nice defensive play 373 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: in the late innings on Tuesday when the game was 374 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: kind of seeming out of reach maybe some people have 375 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: slipped it off, went behind the bag and used what 376 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 2: is an incredibly underrated throwing arm. He again like where 377 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: where Brett Baty struggles here? I think defensively has been 378 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: kind of with his feet and with his hands, but 379 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: the arm is reliable and the things that cannon so 380 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: really nice to see him build up the conference there. 381 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: Also nice see him hitting fifth against the right handed 382 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: pitcher on Wednesday night. Too hard at balls again, still 383 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 2: a strike up, but it seems like he laces one 384 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: or two every single night. 385 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: Still one hundred percent and like we know that as 386 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: we play like more contending teams, the line's gonna shift 387 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: around a little bit. There might be some guys playing 388 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: here or there in different spots because we do have 389 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: some big series coming up against teams competing for a 390 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: wildcard spot. Technically we are still too totally not theoretically 391 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: out of it whatsoever, especially because gotta play the Reds, 392 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: the the Diamondbacks, the Phillies, and the Marlins. That's all 393 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: we have left a boy and the Twins technically this 394 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: upcoming weekend. But if you can win, let me get crazy. 395 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: If you couin like I think, there's like nineteen games 396 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: or twenty games left against those teams if you win 397 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: them all. If you win them all, things could be 398 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: getting a little crazy around here. So something to keep 399 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: an eye out for. Still need to play strong in Minnesota, 400 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: though to Winning tonight would help. 401 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: To It's still on the table ten game winning streak. 402 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: Get any point for this Mets team. Mark and I 403 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: will split a real pizza and we will both become 404 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: physically ill for like twenty four to forty eight outs. 405 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: It's on the table. If the Mets two stick well, 406 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: like we'll stream it. I don't care like it'll be 407 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: kind of funny, like not like the bad parts of it. 408 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll eat the pizza. I'd like to eat 409 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: the pizza. I can eat the pizza wet on a 410 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: podcast in a full kit, like that would just be 411 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: all of our punishments one in one shot. 412 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: That'd be great, just just knock them all out there. Yeah, 413 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: I mean, like the game lost late, Like you said, 414 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: Budo came out for the seventh, looked like you just 415 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: kind of didn't really have it. Trevor gott came in, 416 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: couldn't clean it up, and then the metsress lost to 417 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: the ninth inning. Phil Bickford finally got hit. Hit hasn't 418 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: met So I don't know, it's kind of just like 419 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: what it is, like they lost, right. I don't know 420 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: what else to lay there. 421 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 2: I was, I was hanging out with a friend today 422 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: before recording, and she she is not aware of sports 423 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: in any capacity, but she supports me, like and everything 424 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 2: I do.

Now, well this so this is actually right 525 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 2: when we started the podcast, like right the summer I 526 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 2: moved back to New York after moving out of when 527 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 2: we lived together, there were were just like in line 528 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 2: waiting to get into like a fun like disco club 529 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 2: down on Green Point with some people, and people were 530 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: playing like word games on the line, like trying to 531 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 2: make the time go by. And the whole point of 532 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 2: the game is that you have to you work with it, 533 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: you work with a partner, and you have to get 534 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: to the same word and as little tries as possible. 535 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 2: So some Chicken line asked us, You're like, all right, 536 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: you gotta see how many tries it takes you to 537 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: get to the same word and we what do we? 538 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: Oh? 539 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 2: No, see, okay, so I remember we did now. It 540 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 2: was I think the two words we said. I think 541 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: you said Mike Piats and I just said baseball. Or 542 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: I think you said baseball and I said Italian and 543 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: whatever happened. The second thing we both said was Pete 544 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 2: Alonzo and we were like, oh, she was like whoa, 545 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 2: she's like witches or something. But that was a funny one. Yeah, 546 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 2: good times over there, good times a pony boy. 547 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was a fun time for sure. 548 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: All Right. I hope I hope we win this. We 549 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: got we gotta use these numbers for advantage. Although no, 550 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: we don't hope I win. We hope James wins because 551 00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: that means the Mets. 552 00:21:59,400 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 2: Mets went here. 553 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: You guys want to see me lose. 554 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another one there. Getting ready to preview this 555 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 2: twin series. It's kind of I feel like it's also 556 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: becoming a bit of a meme that every single time 557 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: I read the expected pictures off VESPN, they're always wrong. Like, 558 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: I think you have to stop using ESPN for these 559 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: because now now it's kind of funny because like, also 560 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 2: I totally picked that running Marisio eggs of Lassi in 561 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 2: the last estimate because I thought we're gonna be facing 562 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 2: McKenzie Gore and Patrick Corban, who lefties, who was gonna 563 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 2: hit righty Nasa Jacks Lasi second inning, Joon of Don's 564 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: on the mound through me fall down the midder run 565 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 2: used to smoke that one hundred and eleven point five, 566 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,959 Speaker 2: like okay, that that that was the problem there. So 567 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 2: maybe it's just better for you for doing the bad 568 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 2: the bad schedules because I'm just having using less information. 569 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 2: But again, as ESPN lists them, probably incorrect. Koda Sanga 570 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 2: versus Dallas Kaikele Wow with an ensemble of relief of 571 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: veteran pittus. We're going to face sweek at Minnesota allegedly 572 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 2: Koda Sangers Dallas Kaykel. Also, you guys, Korea Sang interview 573 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: dropped yesterday. When you're listening to this, go listen to that. 574 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 2: If you haven't him a hero great times. Kodei is 575 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 2: a very stern, serious individual, very with Japanese culture, but 576 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 2: we got him loose nub a little bit and he 577 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 2: has fun as always. Shared a really hilarious story about 578 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 2: a certain manga anime that he loved and like him 579 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 2: using it in baseball when he was younger, like in 580 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 2: high school and middle score or something. So pretty funny. 581 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 2: But and with that interview, we're gonna be dropping a 582 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 2: Koda Sanga baseball giveaway probably sometime next week, so also 583 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 2: being lookout for that. We gave away the DJ Stewart Ball. 584 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 2: Next week's Gona Kodaisanga. But and then Saturday two ten game. 585 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 2: Interesting start time for a game, okay, David Peterson versus 586 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 2: Kenameida and Sunday also to ten. It'll be happy football 587 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 2: Tyler McGill versus old old friend Pablo Lopez, which if 588 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: it was in City Field would be feeling even better. 589 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: To be fair, is also way better than he was 590 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 2: with the Marlins, which is kind of crazy because he 591 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: was a good pitcher, but he went to Minnesota in 592 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: what was probably one of the most underappreciated fleece jobs 593 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 2: because they traded Luis Rice. 594 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: Who I know is hitting three fifty. He's got a 595 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: great year, He's pay a good year. He's a good player. 596 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: Pabo Lopez is an awesome pitcher and just more valuable. 597 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: It's just that simple, totally end when you look at 598 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: team contexts we'll get in the soap boxes trade for 599 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 2: a second. You saw the minnesot Twins or the ed 600 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 2: Hori Palanco. We know they brought back Carlos Korea after 601 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 2: some fanfare. They had Royce Lewis, who wow is Royce 602 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: Lewis a freaking ball player. They also had Edward Julian 603 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: in the minor leagues who's also profiles like a first base, 604 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 2: second base, third base type, similar to Arias, who probably 605 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: is gonna piss some people off. Yeah, probably Edward Julian 606 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: probably within another season orwo is probably more valuable. He 607 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: just gets on base just as much and has more power. 608 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: What do you want me to say? And you could 609 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: just pick up a guy like Kyle Farmer off the 610 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: scrap Beat for free always, and he's a guy who 611 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: could do half, like a third of what Louis Rias does. 612 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 2: But this Twins team is playing some great baseball right now. 613 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: They're kind of hitting their shride much later than most 614 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: Twins teams hit their stride. Yeah, so this is like 615 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 2: all They've also been lucky, like sometimes baseball scheduling quirks 616 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: that just work out them playing the Texas Rangers seven 617 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: times in the last twelve games as the Texas Rangers 618 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 2: are playing their rist baseball this season. Also quick mind 619 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: only report everyone should listen in the future of Flushing always. 620 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 2: But yeah, definitely, Louis and Helicun. You hit two home 621 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: runs for Binginton Wednesday night, on the same night that 622 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: Max Scherzer got blown up by the Astros in Texas. 623 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: So that's something that happened. Just two things that happened 624 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 2: the same day. But yeah, So the Twins kind of 625 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: use those two series against the Rangers to springboard Knights 626 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: Hot Street because it was also segmented by two series 627 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 2: with the Guardians, which they just recently won two three 628 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: against them this week. And they're really hitting the ball 629 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 2: right now. They're really hitting the ball. Edward Julian coming 630 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: back up the top of the order's huge. Jorge Polanco 631 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: and royce Lewis spent most of each of their seasons 632 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 2: on the IL, and each of them have come back 633 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 2: to massive power surges. Royce Lewis, just as a quick aside, 634 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: has three Grand Slams in I'm gonna get how many 635 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 2: games he's played this year right now against their. 636 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: First twelve home runs. 637 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, he has twelve home runs eleven home runs on 638 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: this season in general, three of those are Grand Slams 639 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 2: in only forty five games they played the appearances, which 640 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 2: is a stupid ratio. 641 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: I got a fact for you. Can you guess the 642 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: other player who has done that that's in Major League 643 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: Baseball right now? I think there's only one other player 644 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: he's currently playing in the. 645 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 2: League right now. I noticed that funny stat that like 646 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 2: Paul O'Neill hit twelve Grand slams something his entire career, 647 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 2: or six Grand slams entire career, and they all happened 648 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: in one season, which is really funny. 649 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know that code. 650 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 2: The fight tweets that went out like every three months 651 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 2: just gives keeping a lookout for because there was cycle 652 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 2: a lot of content. But I'm still a good Twitter 653 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 2: account in Major League Baseball? Now? Is it the weird 654 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 2: give the team? 655 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: I'll give you the team, okay, Dodgers Chris Taylor. 656 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew. I knew it was something weird like that. 657 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 2: Some reason my mind went to, well, two Vis, he's 658 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 2: just hit a home run every bat now as well. 659 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 2: But in forty five games this season, Royce Lewis has 660 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 2: thirty nine RBIs which if you if you put that 661 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: over whole season, you'd be you'd be making Hack Wilson 662 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: sweat for his all time record with a three twenty 663 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 2: three seventy five to forty triple slash and one fifty 664 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 2: WRC plus. For a guy who was a top draft 665 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: pick saw his prospect status fade, probably just because he 666 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: was so raw and just more of an athlete than 667 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 2: a baseball player. Two torn acls and back to back 668 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: years when he was actually starting to play well, and 669 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: then to come back in the middle of a pennant 670 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: race and hit third on a team that's going to 671 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 2: win their division. I mean, you guys give it up 672 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: to the guy. And we talked about, like JP Crawford 673 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: the last episode, how sometimes that top prospects out of 674 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 2: this top top draft pick and kind of way on, guys, 675 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 2: it's not having royce Lewis right now and he is 676 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: doing everything and more of his Minnesota Twins team. 677 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got Joey Gallo still, Max Kepler, Matt Wallner's 678 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: a fun player who hits the ball really really hard, 679 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: has some power. Horey Polanco's on fire. Ryan Jeffers hits 680 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: baseball so shockingly hard. For those of you who don't know, 681 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: he should be playing catcher every single day for that team. 682 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: Christian Vasquez should be banished, banished to the minor leagues, 683 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: or just not on the major league roster. It should 684 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: be Ryan Jeffers every single day. He's a beast, so 685 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: very good team, very good team. They are the Twins, though, 686 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: and Rockaballdelli is their manager, so it's very beatable. For sure, 687 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: he'll do something, they'll make you scratch your head. But 688 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: they are playing really good baseball, like you said, and 689 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: I think it might be a little bit of a 690 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: slugfest this series. 691 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely could be. And I also want to 692 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 2: shout out Max Kepler because he's a guy who I 693 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: think felt by the wayside because he had such such 694 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: such a bad like first couple weeks of the season. 695 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 2: It was really rough. But since the beginning of May, 696 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 2: just since May first, we could we could even be 697 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 2: tricky and take a couple extra days because he was 698 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: hitting well. At the end of April, He's got eighteen 699 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 2: home runs and a one twenty WRC. Plus the guy 700 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: who just is a very steady player that team has 701 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: for no money whatsoever, and he's good and something else 702 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 2: that this Twins team has. They've won the most fun 703 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: bullpens in the whole league, and it's headlined by Joan Duran, 704 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 2: who I think has probably the best stuff of any 705 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: reliever in baseball. You guys are gonna get to see 706 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: the splinker up close, which is basically a pitch that 707 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 2: he invented, which is a splither and a sinker at 708 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: the same time, so it drops like a splither, but 709 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: it throws one hundred miles an hour. It's kind of ridiculous. 710 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: And also Griffin Jacks back there, converted starter who didn't 711 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 2: really do that well as starther but has gone to 712 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: the bullpen and looks incredible every single time he comes in. 713 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 2: Lots of lots of fun players. This Twins team is 714 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: always so on the precipice of like, oh, they're good, 715 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: but then it's always like something is not good. They 716 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 2: just do it's weird. They're weird team, but they definitely 717 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: do a lot of things correctly. 718 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: Last player I'm shouting out here, fun name, Cody Thunderburke. 719 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: Thunder Burke, Yeah, it's a cool one. 720 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 2: That's a cool one. And some fun players in the 721 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: il Alex Kuriolov is finally getting his legs under him 722 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 2: after years and years of not fulfilling potential and getting 723 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: hurt Byron Buckson is having a really weird season and 724 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: kind of called out the Twins for saying that's hard 725 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: from to be engaged in the game when he's not 726 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 2: playing center field. But also every time he plays centerfield, 727 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: he breaks a bone, So it's kind of that's, you know, 728 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 2: the Sophie's choice for the organization there. But this team 729 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: is this team is so them. I don't know, I 730 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 2: don't know how to describe, but they're just they are 731 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: the Twins. That's what they always are. 732 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: It's a lineup that when they get hot, they can 733 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: run through you. But if they get cold, which they're 734 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: very susceptible to do, they don't. They can't beat anybody. 735 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: They're like so hot and cold. This team extremely streaky. 736 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: Currently hot Andrew Stevenson is still on this roster. We 737 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: hate him. He's gonna do something big and I know 738 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: it if he's still there. But otherwise I think that's 739 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: pretty much it for this one short episode short series. 740 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: Got a big one in Minnesota coming up. James gout 741 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: anything else to say or is the time to wrap 742 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: this one up. 743 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 2: I mean, nothing else can be fun weekend for the 744 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: Mets of Minnesota, their fun team, and also just happy 745 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: football to all those that observe. 746 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: Yes, go Commanders. Big game against the Cardinals coming up here. 747 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure we're gonna be talking about a big w 748 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: over Josh Dobbs, Right, Josh Dobbs, I think it is 749 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: the Cardinals quarterbacks. 750 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: You're probably going to start over over Clayton sing my tune. 751 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: That's a bad team.
