1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Get Up, Get Up? What is up? Mets fans? Welcome

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: back to episode oneh nine of the Mets Up Podcast,

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: the official podcast of the New York Mets. The boys

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: are buzzing. This was a huge series going up against

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves. We're throwing high fives around because as

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: much as this guy was falling just a few days ago,

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: according to some Mets fans, you probably feel like you're

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: a little bit on cloud nine right now because the

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: Mets just took a series from the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta,

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: two games to one. Without Starling Marte, without Jeff McNeil,

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: without Jacob deGrom, without James McCann, without Tyler and McGill,

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: without Trevor May Is there anybody else? I'm forgetting James,

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: without Joey Luca, without Joey Lucazy, without uh with the

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: John Curtis now John Curtis about Sean reed Foley, lots

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: of lots of guys missing, and the Mets were still

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: able to go down to that city of Atlanta and

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: beat the Atlanta Braves. It's what It's interesting what happens

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: when they play a team that's about five hundred no

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: it's shocking the last the last two times the Braves

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: have played the team that were good, the Mets and

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, they lost both series. YEP. So I mean,

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: I feel like the conversation of the Mets not being

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: good and the Braves being really good, like, I think

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: everyone is probably feeling a little more calm now. The

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Mets showed this series that they are a good ball club,

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: and of course we're gonna talk about that today's episode.

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: We've known the Mets were a good ball club. There

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: was never a doubt whether the Mets were a good

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: ball club.

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: That's certainly not with us.

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: No, the Mets had holes, we knew that, but it's

32
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: not like the Mets were ever considered a bad team.

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: The Mets have the fourth best record in Major League

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,639
Speaker 2: Baseball right now, but they're a bad.

35
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: Team, terrible. The season's over over the collapse, they collapse.

36
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: We even saw Tomas Nito after the game talk about

37
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: that the Mets players inside the clubhouse are a little

38
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek about after they had the Marlin series,

39
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: that everybody outside of the Mets clubhouse was setting the

40
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: series over, but inside they were like, yeah, like we're

41
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: good baseball hysterical.

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: I mean, also, we haven't even intro yet, but we

43
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: have to stop probably admonishing these types of these types

44
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: of comments from the fans.

45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Probably probably listen, this is what we do. Can we

00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: a little shout out on the episode.

87
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,960

88
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: and Dad, Happy anniversary, well, wonderful, wonderful. I can't wait

89
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: to come home this week and celebrate with you.

90
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: I'll be home to go to see the Barons, not

91
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: for an anniversary, simply because I have to for medical reasons.

92
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe I just remembered that on the podcast.

93
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: That's so funny. That's that's good. That's good. That's We've

94
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: had a lot of live reactions. Speaking of which, Robinson

95
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Cano in this series obviously made an appearance for the

96
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves in two games, and funny enough, the Braves

97
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: lost both those games that Robins and Can appeared in.

98
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: And really funny. I know we technically hit a couple

99
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: balls hard, but it's got to be refreshing at least

100
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: to know that watching Robinson Cano play these last few days,

101
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: he's still not very good. He's still old. He still

102
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: can't hit the ball in the air for any sort

103
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: of authority. Hit the ball hard a couple of times

104
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: on the ground.

105
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: Robinson Cano on the game on Monday. I guess we'll

106
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: start easing into the Monday game here, because it was

107
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: at uncomfortable seeing him on the field and see him

108
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: come up a few times. He got a hit in

109
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 2: his first at bat with the Braves against the Mets,

110
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: one hundred and twelve miles an hour, the second hardest

111
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: hit ball in the entire game, besides Ozuna, who's double

112
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: later in this game is one hundred twelve point one

113
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: miles an hour off the bat.

114
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: Well, what's funny about that at bat too, is that

115
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: we were watching the game, me and you, We were

116
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: hanging out with a couple of friends, and as soon

117
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: as he got that hit, it flipped over to the

118
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: top of the order with Ronald Acune. We go, oh,

119
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: I was guaranteed home run because of course Robinson Can

120
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: extends the ending on what was a very tough play

121
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: for Luis gi Orban to make, who's been so sure

122
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: handed this year. Ball was smoked.

123
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: I mean, also twelve strangest thing about that we're now

124
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: we're just it's gonna be nonsense here because we're so

125
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 2: happy about this series, but strange that the Mets were

126
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: in shifting Robinson Cano. I feel like just he's a

127
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: guy who pulls it so frequently and he is so

128
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: slow that you can kind of put your infield defenders

129
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: in an advantageous way that like you can get any

130
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: ground ball he's ever gonna hit.

131
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: You know how, Like the Rays play like a five

132
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: or a four man outfield sometimes on like Joey Gallo

133
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: Blue Jay's doing a good mount too. I feel like

134
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: you could do a five man infield against Robinson Canoa.

135
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: Go hit the ball of the outf line. I'd love

136
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: to see you try. We'll put in the gaps and

137
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: that's yeah, the second hit in this game.

138
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: Hilariously, Robinson two hits in this game, but one just

139
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: like screwed up the middle where it's like I thought

140
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: someone would be there.

141
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: Someone should have been there. Yeah, I don't know why

142
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 1: they weren't shifting against Robinson can Know. Luckily it didn't matter. Also,

143
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: we're not.

144
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: Talking about Robinson Could anymore this episode.

145
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. That's the last mention of Robinson Cano. Uh,

146
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: good riddance.

147
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: Until August we play him again, hopefully still on this

148
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: roster because he's not very good.

149
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: Yea, Robinson Cano playing is a good thing for us,

150
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: great thing.

151
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: He also there was a double play where he did

152
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: a glove flip and we got ended up getting a run.

153
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: It was it was almost a really good play, But

154
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: we want a challenge after that, or chicall whatever, happy

155
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: yourmando being safe, first base, score the run.

156
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: But there's all nonsense.

157
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: The only really thing that matters from game one that

158
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: we have to talk about is Max Shares are so good.

159
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: This is the whole fucking reason you signed Max scherz

160
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 2: Or to be in this team. There's why you give

161
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: Max scheres of the big buck. So do you want

162
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: him to start game one of a series against your

163
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: big arrival. Were first place and your divisions on the line,

164
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 2: and he shoves dude was.

165
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: Unbelievable from the first pitch of the game. It is

166
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: so refreshing to watch him pitch because yes, basket at Carrasco, Taiwan,

167
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: all these guys have been great for us, all your

168
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: love amazing. But watching a guy like Max Scherzer is

169
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: just so different. We've seen it with the gram in

170
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: the past in the Mets. Now we have Shuzer in

171
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: this rotation and he just he commands the ball differently.

172
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: The way you feel watching him is different. He is

173
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: simply one of the best pitchers that we have seen

174
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: in our lifetime, without doubt, and it's so so sick

175
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: that he now gets to pitch for the Mets other

176
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: other domination. On Monday, seven innings, pitch, nine strikeouts, three hits,

177
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: one in and run one walk. Is just what are

178
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Like this? Is it?

179
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: The slider in the fastball are both completely nasty. He

180
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: broke out a couple of changeups when he needed to,

181
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: more like that once he got two or three times

182
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: around the other color.

183
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: Also, yeah, cutor made an appearance.

184
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: He's been sitting around ten percent, used to rate in

185
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: that color for most of this season. He threw it

186
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: nine times. Is bizarre through the color nine times. Braves

187
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: hitter swung at all nine of them, which interesting? Interesting, right,

188
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: I wonder why that would be five whiffs? Is there

189
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: any reason you could think why they would swing at

190
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: the cutter more than is it just like it looks

191
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 2: like the slider, looks like the slider and is fast

192
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: like the fastball.

193
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, get to take a shot. Just

194
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: maybe I guess it fools them. Maybe I don't even know.

195
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: I can't even figure it out. All that is good night, Atlanta,

196
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: Good night Atlanta. Really really good job by Max Huers,

197
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: a really good job by the team in general, because

198
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: at times this game was close. At times, this game's

199
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: got a little dicey too. I mean, Austin Riley hit

200
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: that home run in the seventh inning, and then they

201
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: got to go Zoo a double and it was like

202
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: up hold on a second.

203
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: And at that point, before the Riley home run in

204
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: the seventh, it was to nothing Mets. After a little

205
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: rally in the third inning, I think that was the

206
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: play we're talking about with the gey or mayfield technically

207
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: became a field just choice because beat out double play.

208
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: Pete had double down the line as well, and then

209
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: Austin Riley hit that home run to make the game

210
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: to the one in the seventh. And you also kind

211
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: of felt a little bit of pressure on Max chers

212
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: Or as this game was moving along without the Mets

213
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: really scoring many runs, on Max Freed, despite having him

214
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: on the ropes, despite not really swinging missing and anything,

215
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: having base runs every single landing, running that pitch count

216
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: up where he didn't have enough runs, he felt nervous.

217
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: And you also knew that Edward Diaz had pitched consecutive days, yep,

218
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: and adam on Lavino had pitched. I believe at this

219
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: point he was two out of three days, so you

220
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: didn't really know who was available and who was not available.

221
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: At the end of this game too, and sure this

222
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: pitch count was so low that you're like, maybe he

223
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: can just do this himself, which would have been sick

224
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: absolutely seventh. Then he kind of put that to bed

225
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: when Austin Riley hit a tank, because he's one of

226
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: the better hitters in baseball.

227
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: Also, quick diet tribe here.

228
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: I don't like the fact that while he's having a

229
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: good season, William Contreras is an All Star over over

230
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: Austin Riley on the same team. Austin rally is twice

231
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: as many at bats. He has twenty home runs, like

232
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: twenty five doubles. He's hitting the piss out of the ball,

233
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: Like it's ridiculous. This guy's one hundred and fifty played appearances.

234
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 2: He's going to be a starting Dhe.

235
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: Well, the way that they do the Alcar Games a

236
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: little stupid in that the DH is limited to guys

237
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: who played DH that's their main position, which William Contreras

238
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: debatably not even he's like pretty much a DH or catcher,

239
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: So like, why can't Austin Riley fill in and play DH.

240
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys that got snubs, I know

241
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: for the All Star team, but he's probably the biggest

242
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: one right now. And it's stupid because like, yeah, Aaron

243
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: Odawu and Machado are better I think probably serving than

244
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: Austin Riley, but one hundred percent. Again, this is the

245
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: only time I think will ever be positive about the

246
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Braves here and be happy and stuff. But it is

247
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: worth noting that Austin Riley is one of the best

248
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: third basement of the league.

249
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and again, contrast to one hundred and fifty play

250
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 2: the appearances, Francisco Lindor is over sixty five RBIs like

251
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: eighteen home runs. He's not going to the All Star Yeah,

252
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 2: Brandon Drury has almost a one hundred and forty WRC

253
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: plus an incredible breakout the year from a guy who's

254
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: been hanging around for a while.

255
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: I mean even Brandon Nimo. Like there's just like there

256
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: are players that won one hundred percent deserve it more,

257
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: and it's weird that he gets in because of the

258
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: weird DH caveat. I know it is done, but that

259
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: was I just I was thinking about that when going

260
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: over notes for this series. It's just while he is

261
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: a good player and he's having a good year and

262
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: it's cool that he's gonna be in the All Star

263
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: team with his brother, that's sick, but like, I just

264
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: can't imagine him being Allstar. I mean, you know who

265
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: could have taken that spot, known cleanup hitter, known power hitter,

266
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: Luiski or May with a mass, massive insurance home run

267
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: late in this game and the bat flip. The bat

268
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: flip was it was sneaky nice.

269
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: Got a massive reaction from Max Scher's or pounded on

270
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: the rail, Lindor pushed him in the back, he fist

271
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: bumped through the dugout.

272
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Which Lindor's got to be like one of the bravest

273
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: humans on Earth. I wouldn't never even if Max Shuzer

274
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: is excited, I would just let him be excited by himself.

275
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm pushing Max Scherzer.

276
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: This also hilarious tidbit got from the broadcast Lewisky Ormy's

277
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: fourth Rome run of his entire career, second off of

278
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: Darren O'Day, which is so funny and both this season because.

279
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Darren O'Day is such a weird pitcher that so many

280
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: guys have trouble with. But it seems like Luiski Ormy's like, oh,

281
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: she's gonna float eighty five to me, I'll smack it,

282
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: especially being able to like.

283
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: Lift the ball and be able to track Darren O'Day's fastball.

284
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 2: I guess we're talking about swingpath stuff a few months ago.

285
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: Maybe Orme always being like a slap hitter, a day

286
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 2: throwing submarine. It kind of just reverses swing path. It's

287
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: like a total one eighty. So now it's just like

288
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: it becomes an upper cutting.

289
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: Gormy took that high pitch and just sent it into

290
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: the Atlanta sky, and that was incredibly, incredibly important insurance run,

291
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: beating up by two runs on the braves rather than

292
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: one heading into the last few winnings. Now didn't get

293
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: a little bit dicey though in the eighth because the

294
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: Ish the Mets played like a weird defensive alignment. Again,

295
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: there was a lot of just weird defensive alignments in

296
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: this game. There was a situation where all the Veno

297
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: was on the mound and Ronald Acuna smoked the ball

298
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: down the line and just no one was there usually

299
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: And we talked about this a little bit last year

300
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: in the show as well, like generally you see at

301
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: the end of games you just naturally guard the line.

302
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: I know, defensive analytics are incredibly more advanced than they

303
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: have been the history of baseball, So maybe there are

304
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: situations where your numbers tell you no, but it just

305
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: seems like you want to stop doubles when you want

306
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: to keep runs off the board. And I believe there

307
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: was nobody on at this point either.

308
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: And we saw the Braves actually do that well on

309
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, and I believe I don't remember who hit it,

310
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: but I know remember Olsen.

311
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: Actually and dumb I think Smoke went down the line too.

312
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: Alsen just knock balls down that would have been doubles,

313
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: and you wound up limiting damage because also there was

314
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: no damage that ended up happening it the Braves were

315
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: stuck at one run other side of this game. More

316
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: weird defensive alignment stuff, weird kind of little nuanced stuff.

317
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: The Messed Up Podcast is gonna bring you, guys. The

318
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 2: Braves being down two runs with a man on third

319
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: and less than two hours and top of the ninth inning,

320
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: decided to keep their infield back against Pete Alonzo, and

321
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: shockingly it actually ended up kind of saving them from

322
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: a biginning because he smoked the ball at third base

323
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: that Austin Riley was able to make two steps over

324
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: to his left, cut the ball off, get the added first.

325
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: The run scored extend this Mets league to four, the

326
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: one where they would eventually win it. But it was

327
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: a little strange to me that Brian Snicker didn't bring

328
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: his infield in.

329
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the defensive alignment in this game, just start

330
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: to finish was a little bit questionable at times by

331
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: both sides. I mean, luckily for us with the Mets.

332
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: Did you hear Gary's take on why Snicker did that. No,

333
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: he kind of wanted to.

334
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: He didn't care about the Mets score, is Gary's take,

335
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: Not that it was substantiated anyway. Yeah, he wanted to

336
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 2: stop a beginning and basically give the Mets one run

337
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: in a two run game because he wanted to theoretically,

338
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: is Gary's take, ensure that Edwin Diaz would come in

339
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: this game because he was really warming up at this point,

340
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: and you figure, if you make sure that Edwin DIDs

341
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: pitches the first game of this series, the third day

342
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: in a row.

343
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: It's a lock. He's not pitching the rest of the series.

344
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: That's like some big brain stuff that like you wouldn't

345
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: get from the Tampa Bay Rays. That's old man big brain,

346
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: old school big brain. That's like Buck Show Walter I

347
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: would expect to do something like that. Like fun watching

348
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: Snicker and Rickran It's like, just hang out in this

349
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: dugout Ron Washington. Yeah, it's just it's a fun old

350
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: man dugout. That's that they are old men that get it.

351
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean last year, that's why the Braves ended up

352
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: having this huge swing the second half of the year

353
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: was because they just started shifting, taking a little bit

354
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: of analytics and they were like, oh, we're really good now.

355
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, our pitchers are great. Yeah. This

356
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: game included it was you know, it was. It was

357
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: a close one, and luckily for us we have Edwind

358
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: who comes into the ninth and is just unhittable. Eleven pitches.

359
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: K's the side. I think his three appearances, including that night,

360
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: it was like eleven pitches, seven pitches and eight whatever.

361
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Every single aud thing was eleven pitches or less.

362
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: Also, now I kind of also remember why I was

363
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: a little bit annoyed at William Contraras today, why he

364
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: walks up to Narcos.

365
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: Oh, yes he does. Yeah, that got me.

366
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: That kind of got me going the wrong direction on

367
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: even though I do like him as a player and

368
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: I'm very you know, happy he's been All Star with

369
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: his brother.

370
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: But you can't that's not that's not your song, Sedwin

371
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Diaz a song? You know any other closers that come

372
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: out to enter sand Man? Of course? No, yes, yeah,

373
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: who it was a big thing. You don't remember when

374
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: this happened. Who came out to it? Billy Wagner?

375
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: Billy, Oh remember it was a whole big thing. If

376
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: you guys are writing about that.

377
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we were ten though we were ten, So

378
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: you make fun of me for saying I saw a

379
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: bits of the two thousand World Series that you could

380
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: remind remember writers in two thousand and five and six

381
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: talk about Billy Wagner's outro music.

382
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: I'm a big baseball nerd. I was grabbing my dad's

383
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: daily news, and I was a.

384
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: Child reading the post. Yeah, the daily news, dailor news.

385
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: I have a little bit of class. I think I've

386
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: read a total of like four newspapers in my life.

387
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Funny though back to this game has been we were

388
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: all already off the rails. Edwin Diaz had as many

389
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: whiffs in this inning as Max Fried has entire start domination,

390
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: struck out the sive and eleven pitches like this this is,

391
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: and afterwards told the Braves slip your lips.

392
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: Why nip your lips? Slight, I Dwin Diaz, I'm sick.

393
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: You can't touch me. The slidery through to Matt Olso

394
00:14:59,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: was on fan.

395
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: It was sent a chill down my spine. Also, before

396
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: we wrap this game up, move on the game too.

397
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: I just playing the Braves reminded me of this. We

398
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: didn't talk about en Duranciarte making a great play on

399
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: Saturday Keith and Nanda's game.

400
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: We totally forgot. We watched it Botch the original you know,

401
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: the yeah, the original animal that we have saved a

402
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: nickname for many of players around the league. And Duringcarte

403
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: he was there. He was there in Atlanta.

404
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't think he played at all, believe he did,

405
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: but just being in this park reminded me of Boat

406
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: Enduranciarte and that he made that good catch we mentioned.

407
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to give him a shine. Also dep outfielders Jenkowski,

408
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: back Jakowski, back Jakowski. Amazing has happened. Let's have a

409
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: let's play really well and he's the line up. What's there?

410
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: Their record was really good and art they probably got

411
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: with being act. He was still there because yeah, they

412
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: had at least for game one. I don't remember the

413
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: rest of the series. Not sure he didn't play paternity mcneili, yeah, yeah,

414
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: so he was still hanging around time for game two.

415
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: Game two, David Peterson going up against Spencer Strider, who

416
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: we got a first up and close look at Spencer Strider.

417
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: Guy is nasty, he's filthy, numbers don't lie. The guy

418
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: has electric stuff. And even Keith found himself being like,

419
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: oh oh wow. He was enambered with the command that

420
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: Spencer Schrider hat out as fast boy. He's like, he's

421
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: not just throwing that things. He knows where it's going.

422
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: And we saw that.

423
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: And Streider's a guy who was not really the biggest prospect.

424
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: He's a smaller guy and he reinvented himself at Clemson

425
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: in their pitching laboratory, kind of becoming obsessed with getting

426
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: that really good high back spin fastball that gives the

427
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: rising the rising action. With his incredible velocity, and since

428
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: he became a starter, I think he leads all of

429
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: baseball's shrekout right.

430
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he's been absolutely he's incredible. I actually

431
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: got a lead off him in this game. Yeah, we did,

432
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: we did, and credit David Peterson too, had another really

433
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: really good start against the Atlanta Braves lineup, who he

434
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: has struggled against in the past, especially in Atlanta. He's

435
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: had horrendous numbers pitching in Atlanta, and the dude had

436
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: a really really nice outing.

437
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: Again, I want to talk about the bad from the

438
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: Peterson start before the goods. I want to get the

439
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: bad out of the way and then leave people with

440
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: the good. Because we did have the one nothing to

441
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: lead on Lindor's triple, which Ronald Acuna still seems to

442
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: be missing a step since the acl took a b

443
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: line to a ball in the gap then just went

444
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: past him. Yeah, he gets a player we've seen around

445
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: the Cuny make, but not anymore. And Peterson came out

446
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: for the six and that would have been his third

447
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: time around this order. And this is something that we

448
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: talked about a lot in the show. I've talked about

449
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: a few times, especially with Peterson. Now he's become mostly

450
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: a two pitch pitcher. And then you look at this

451
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: Atlanta lineup, but there's not a much better top three

452
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: in all of baseball.

453
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: There's there's not really any holes in this lineup to begin.

454
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 2: With, no, but then once you get to the top

455
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: and you see Akunya, Swanson the way he's playing right now,

456
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: and Olsen. This is kind of similar to the Dodgers

457
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: start with Peterson, where you see Bets, Freeman, Turner.

458
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: Like third time around the order. Sometimes you want to

459
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: give the guys a shot, but maybe against this one,

460
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: it's a little bit dicey, and he got a Kunya

461
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: when Swanson came up and he was walked on a

462
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: call that was pretty bad. Yeah, it was two calls

463
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: are pretty bad. I believe strikes on both of them.

464
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, But the umpire in this game, I remember who

465
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: was think it was actually Andy Fletcher.

466
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: Except that was the name of an umpire.

467
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: Was the name of an umpire I think Welkie or Gelkier,

468
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: one of them was Wednesday. But now even man Off first,

469
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 2: Matt Olson's up a little bit of a tenuous at bat.

470
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 2: He had a very long foul ball and he had

471
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: him with two strikes though, and you could tell Alson

472
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: was looking sly there and Peterson just like dotted dotted

473
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: the fastball low and out side. That was like a

474
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: clean inch and half off. But the idea was great. Yeah,

475
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: and he had him frozen. These were just nothing. There

476
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: was no way he was swinging at that pitch, didn't

477
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 2: wind up doing it, and then for some reason he

478
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: got a little bit addicted to that fastball.

479
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

480
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: I feel like a guy like Alson who's struggled to

481
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: bitually his entire career with lefties. Yeah, usually i'd be

482
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: the breaking ball would be the big reason for that.

483
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: He just he just got ahold of a fastball and

484
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: hit one out.

485
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: Yeah. When peterson slider is so good too. It's not

486
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: like it's an okay slide. Literally statistical right now, it

487
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: is one of the best sliders in all base which

488
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: is like a crazy sentence to say out loud, knowing

489
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: where David Peterson has come from. But yeah, the slider

490
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: is filthy. Didn't love the pitch calling there, didn't love

491
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: the selection of pitches, because again Peterson still shakes and

492
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: decides what he wants to throw. But man, when you're

493
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: going up against one of the best hitters in the

494
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: game who's also left handed, you gotta go with your

495
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: best and his fastball isn't his best pitch.

496
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: And it's also a weird situation where after the walk

497
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: to Swanson, I think most situations and most would have

498
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: called for your starting pitcher to get taken out at

499
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: that point. Yeah, with the go ahead run at the

500
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: plate and your third time around the other especially guy

501
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: with only two pitches, a little bit more of a

502
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: younger learning how to pitch, kind of start there. But

503
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: the fact that Peterson's a lefty, Alson's a lefty, Alston

504
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 2: struggles against Lefti's the Mets ballpen only has one lefty

505
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: in the pen. Right now, you really want to take

506
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: this at bat and get this guy out. And you

507
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: remember almost this exact same thing happened in May when

508
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: Mets played the double Heather against Atlanta and we were

509
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: there sitting with the seven line where Peterson coming third

510
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: time around the order, I famously told Mark, I'm going

511
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: to the bathroom this sending. I was having stomach issues.

512
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: It's third time around the other. I know for a

513
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: fact the Braids are gonna score. And it happened the

514
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: exact same thing happened where he had a tough at

515
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 2: bat against Alson a wound up in a home run.

516
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: I believe that was a three run home run rather

517
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: than two run home run.

518
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: So you've seen this happen before. So maybe we'll think

519
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 2: about this next time Peterson and faces the Braves. And

520
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 2: it's also interesting that Alson, including Wednesday, has three home

521
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: runs against the Mets this year, all three against starting pitchers,

522
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: third time around the other.

523
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: That is an interesting fact. It just seems like he's a.

524
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: Good smart ball playing he figures it out. But I

525
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: don't want this, I loud David Peterson shine. He was

526
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: fantastic in the start again, final line five and thirds

527
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: in these pitch nine strikeouts, like, who, who the hell

528
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: is this guy?

529
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: This guy's beast.

530
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: Two hits, three walks, just two earned runs in that

531
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: home run forty four percent sly their usage rate in

532
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: this game, most thrown pitch of the night. He's been

533
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: doing that a couple of times more and more last

534
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: few times out. It's a real weapon. Fifty percent whiffs

535
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 2: on this on that pitch. Craziest stat though no sliders

536
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: were put in play. Wow, how crazy?

537
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean I saw the ones like I mean, was

538
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: watching the game and the ones he was throwing Akunia

539
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: looked like he'd never swung a bat before swinging at these.

540
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: And this is a right handed heavy lineup. There are

541
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: very few left he's in the lineup at all besides

542
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: alson right handed heavy lineup that rakes too in humid

543
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta with the ball was kind of flying all series. Ever,

544
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: people made contact went out of the yard, so the

545
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: fact they didn't touch his sly there, Like if this

546
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: pitch has come such a long way, he is such

547
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: a weapon for us right now, and I don't I really,

548
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: I really like don't know where this team would be

549
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: without David Peterson. I like to think right now he's

550
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: one of the better kept secrets in baseball, because if

551
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: you ask, I think the average honestly, even Mets fans.

552
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm not talking about you guys who are listening

553
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: to us. You guys are smart, you're watching, you're listening

554
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: to a Mets pod.

555
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: You guys are smart, you're good looking, you're talented, successful,

556
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: you can do anything.

557
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: You listen to this podcast. If you listen to this podcast,

558
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: your auto IQ points automatically go higher anything. You're your vigor,

559
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: your charisma. But I would even say go out to

560
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: say even the average Mets fan doesn't I don't think

561
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: truly understand how good David Peterson is. I've been talking

562
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: to friends in baseball mentioning about David Peterson and are like, oh, him,

563
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: what's he got? I'm like, what does he got? He's

564
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: got one of the best pitchers in the league right now.

565
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: I kind of do want to take a step back, though,

566
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: and like really outline how good he's been so far,

567
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: especially since June first. I feel like that's kind of

568
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: where ties started shifting for Peterson. You gotta start throwing

569
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 2: a lot more sly there is. That's where it really

570
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: felt like his stride twenty two point four strike got

571
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: mins walk great since June first. As a metric, I

572
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: told you guys about last episode. You take a strike rate,

573
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: mies your walk rate. It's incredibly predictive and incredibly effective

574
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: in finding out which pictures are good and which pictures

575
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 2: are due for more success. Yeah, that twenty two point

576
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: four number percent number is tenth in all of baseball.

577
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: That's sick all of baseball since June first, all of baseball.

578
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: That is ahead of Zach Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Shane Bieber.

579
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,719
Speaker 2: So those guys are eleven, twelve, thirteen. These guys are

580
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 2: pretty good, really good.

581
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: Two former st Young winners there and Aaronola, who's a

582
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: constant and professional that is with though temper sent Walker.

583
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: And if there's one thing you can say about Peterson

584
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: during this hot streak is that the command is still

585
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: not like great.

586
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: That's kind of what's driving my take that he would

587
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 2: just be like the best reliever in baseball. We needed

588
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: to do that at the end of the year. But

589
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: he's Silvergus Starlas. We're gonna keep this going right now.

590
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: Seventh best strikeout rate in baseball since June first day,

591
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: seventh best all of baseball.

592
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: Top seven.

593
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: Right ahead of him is Corbyn Burns, right after him,

594
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: Carlos Rodan.

595
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carlos Roddan is sick.

596
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: That's the sandwich. Corbyn Burns, David Peterson, Carlos Rodan.

597
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: And I feel like nobody really like me and you

598
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: both have been talking about it and doing He's been

599
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: doing well. But I didn't know he was doing this. Well,

600
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: it's one of the best best pitches in baseball. Over

601
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: the last six weeks, he's been really like two of

602
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: the best young pitchers in the game right now this game.

603
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: And it was kind of funny because heading into this series,

604
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: I'll remember if it was how We or if it

605
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: was Gary, if it was Wayne, but one of them.

606
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: Previewing I think Monday's game or maybe even Sunday, I

607
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: remember that I was listening too, but they were like,

608
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: oh fun series. Here.

609
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: Tuesday David Peterson and Spencer Stryer are two very young

610
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: but very different pictures, and Wednesday Chris Bass and Charlie

611
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 2: Moore and two old, very similar pictures. And I was like,

612
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: that's not that's not true at all. Peterson and Streither

613
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 2: are hilariously similar fastball, slide, fastball, the sliders with devastating sliders.

614
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: Strider of course has different fastball in Peterson, but I

615
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: think Peterson is a very different slider. Then you have

616
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: going to move here until you know, actually know we're

617
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: not gonna move into that yet. But then you have

618
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: more just two old guys, but the stuff's incredibly different.

619
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean, like Peterson's looked really really solid.

620
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Of course, the Mets don't end up winning this game. No, Yes,

621
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: incredible is really good. The Braves offense came alive a

622
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean, that's gonna happen. They are still

623
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: a very good team, as we know. They're competing with

624
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: us for the National League East Crown.

625
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it got into like the BC team bullpen here,

626
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: but you're not gonna You're not gonnaweep the Braves.

627
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: Probably it would have been great. I mean, second, can

628
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: you imagine what our intro would have sounded like if

629
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: we swept the Braves. We've sure gotten more off time

630
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: topic that we have recently in a while, just because

631
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: the Mets won a series in Atlanta.

632
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: I do want to take us more off topic though

633
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 2: for a second, because Keith Hernandez had one of the

634
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: greatest Keith Hernandez lines I think I've ever heard in

635
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: this game too.

636
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: He's full of them. I don't remember who he was

637
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: talking about. It was Canada. I might have been Canada,

638
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: might've been Lindor. But he was talking about just hitting

639
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: in general and how everything's got to be in line

640
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: if you want to be a good hitter and he

641
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: was talking specifically about breakfast, and he was saying, you

642
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: have to make sure that you're not having an over breakfast.

643
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: You gotta have hits in that breakfast. That's I like

644
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: that hits. You gotta have hits in your breakfast. So

645
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you what does breakfast look like

646
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: for you?

647
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: Because I'm sure your life is significantly different than mine,

648
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: for sure, and every single listener that we have on

649
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: this show.

650
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: Probably like ninety nine percent of the people listening on Earth. Yeah, so, uh,

651
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: the average day for me is I wake up around

652
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: I get about a bet at around eleven eleven thirty,

653
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 1: take a shower, you know, get ready to brush my teeth. Listeners, hey,

Speaker 1: tweet from the mets of the podcast. But yeah, my

659
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: day starts a little bit later than most, So my

660
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: breakfast would basically be lunch for everybody else, which would

661
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: be around twelve thirty one o'clock. Have a nice sandwich,

662
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: some good cold cuts, a nice generalis salami. I'm I'm

663
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,560

00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: a way to eat something early, and it's kind of

693
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,440

00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: you come to New York, you gotta get bacon, egg,

698
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: and cheese on a bagel. You have to one hundred percent.

699
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: But I've had this goddamn gluten intolerance that's just ravaged

700
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: my diet. In the last six months, I've had totally

701
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,120

00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: free roll, which is I don't want to do that

707
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: at all, Like that used to be the move. I

708
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: just walk to the deli get a three dollars bacon,

709
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: egg and cheese. Or if I was, you know, feeling fancy,

710
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 2: I would do like my own like avocao toast, nice

711
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: piece of toast, spread in avocado, little extra virgin olive oil.

712
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: Salt, salt, pepper, everything seasoning. Oh okay, yeah, a little fancy.

713
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: Boys can't do the poppy seeds for me.

714
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: Not great for the digestive train the stomach boys over here.

715
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 2: But now what I've done, which i've again, I'm trying

716
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 2: to be real creative.

717
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: But it's always some fruit.

718
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, like banana ban a strawberry smoothie with some oats

719
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: in there. Start the day, I've eaten a lot more

720
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 2: oatmeal sins have gone gluten free.

721
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: Feels hit or miss for me. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes

722
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to even be close to it.

723
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: I've been doing some weird oatmeal stuff where I've been.

724
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: I've found that one of my friends told me about it,

725
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: and I've did some research about it. See the other

726
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: people actually do it, so she's not a total nut.

727
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: Savory oatmeal interesting I do oatmeal. I make the oatmeal

728
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: like totally normal.

729
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 2: Then I throw it in the pan with some olive

730
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 2: oil and some salt and pepper. Get some veggies in there,

731
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 2: some onions.

732
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,399

733
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: broccoli or something and asparagus, maybe even feeling frisky, and

734
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: then do like a like a sunny side egg on

735
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: top with the yolk, break a little bit of siracha.

736
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: That's been a weird late breakfast for me recently, it's

737

Speaker 1: been that's been like my high calorie, my high calori brea.

738
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you could sell me on a savory oatmeal.

00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: I think an oatmeal it's kind of like when Yeah,

Speaker 1: the raspberries.

742

Speaker 2: But I would tell people it does sound weird. It

743
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: sounded weird for me the first time I did this.

744
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: That in necessity. But just don't knock untill you try

Speaker 2: to find savory oat meal.

747

773
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: he'll tell you things that probably you shouldn't be saying

774
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: on the air.

775
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: And they'll also they do the great thing where like

776
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure everyone out there does this with their friends.

777
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: We just start naming players or people that were like

778
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: famous when you felt like you were in your hand,

779
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: Like they throw out like niche celebrities from the seventies.

780
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: We're just like, what the freak? Yeah, like who are

781
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: these people? And then like small little baseball memories, they'll

782
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: pull out the nugget from a Thursday Mets Cardinals nineteen

783
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: seventy nine, Joel Youngblood made a play it what Keith

784
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: will be like, I remember I sliced the ball down

785
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: the left field line, digged out two in a pass ball,

786
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: then and I ran to third.

787
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: Keith was also being funny in this game, talking about

788
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: like pitcher speaker versus hitterspeak, and he was talking about

789
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: the concept of a glove side fast but it's like

790
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: I've never gotten that, I've never cared for that term.

791
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: It's like, what do you mean, It's so easy, very inquisitive.

792
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: Your right handed pitcher, your gloves on your left hand,

793
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: that's the outer corner for a right handed back.

794
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: You gotta remember he's a left you though, that's true too, Yeah,

795
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: that was right. So I'm think I'm thinking terms of

796
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: right the special breed for those.

797
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: Every single time I listened to a game on television,

798
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 2: even the radio shout out how we and wage JK.

799
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: Eisenberg did the broadcast as we too.

800
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: It's also very good, very good as far as a

801
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: backup radio broadcaster goes Jake Guysenbergs in the top of

802
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 2: that line, better than something most regular radio bro eight

803
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: real list on other teams radios that often. But like,

804
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: it's just we have such a blessing as Mets fans

805
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: that we get these guys giving us baseball on a

806
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: daily basis their friends, their fans. They're knowledgeable, they're insightful,

807
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: they're fun, whimsical, they do they give you everything.

808
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: And it's nice because in a game where we do lose,

809
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: like we did in Game two, it makes it still

810
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: tolerable to watch because you're like, we're gonna get some

811
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: entertainment value. No do. But I honestly didn't turn this

812
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: game off.

813
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: I felt like it was over when it became four

814
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: to one, but it was like they got some stuff

815
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: to talk about.

816
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of the best content from Gary keithan Ron

817
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: comes when the Mets are losing.

818
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, blows nothing better than either a win or lose

819
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: with the Mets because these guys go just nuts.

820
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: It's it's like hanging out and having a beer with

821
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: them and just let's just talk about baseball for two hours.

822
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: It's really like what it is, which is awesome. I

823
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: want to have a beer with them so bad. Be fun. Well,

824
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, with the Mets. Now, maybe I don't know, Mets,

825
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: you guys could hook something up for the boys. Get

826
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Gary Keith and Ron, maybe one of them on. He

827
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: mentioned not loving podcasts, but like, maybe they'll like us. Yeah,

828
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: maybe they'll like us. Who knows. He's just he hasn't

829
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: come on and met us yet. Once he meets us,

830
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: we'll be great friends. Keith, trust me, trust me, guys. Guys, guys, guys.

831
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: Game three though, Let's move on to Game three because

832
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: that's the one that we really want to talk about.

833
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: We needed this, We need this bad.

834
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and weird for such a big game, rubber match

835
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: two teams that are like hotly contested to be at noon.

836
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, for a weekday. It's when I wake up normally. Yeah,

837
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: I had to wake up earth. I was up at

838
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: ten o'clock. We're going to set the alarm for this one, yeah,

839
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: I did. I was up at ten to make sure

840
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: that would be ready for a noon start, and I

841
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: was ready. I had my candy that I has. My

842
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: first meal of the day was breakfast at that one. Yeah,

843
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: I had had Nerds gummy closes and I just had two.

844
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: I had two, oh okay, and then I made yourself

845
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: and then I made some ramen soup. That was the roma. Sooop.

846
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 1: I saw you eat when I was here. Yeah, it's

847
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: like four o'clock. Yeah, that's been the food I've eat

848
00:31:59,680 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: to this.

849
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: Mark does all the time. We'll be hanging out, like

850
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: out of the game. He'll be like, I gotta eat something.

851
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: I'll be like, you're hungry. He's like, I haven't eaten today.

852
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: He'd like, it's seven, what do you mean?

853
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: And just woke up. It's YouTubers man, the unhealthy bunch,

854
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: we are creatures. We got to see those some really

855
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: good pitching out of Chris Bassett going up against Charlie Morton,

856
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: who he's not bad, He's just not the same Charlie Morton.

857
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: He has been the same Charlley Morton for like a month.

858
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: The Messa actually got to him for the first time

859
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: in a while, but got throw some shan our boy Baskett.

860
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm old enough to remember when Chris Bassett was bad

861
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: after that Padre start, but it feels like a lifetime ago.

862
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: But I remember Mets fans were you know, he had

863
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: a five VRA over a three star sample.

864
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: He gave He gave up seven earned runs. What is

865
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: he doing? Shit, this guy has fallen. But Bastard told

866
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: us that night and he has stuck to that that

867
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: this will not happen again. Every single start since that

868
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: Padres blow up, he's completed six innings. He's just been

869
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: like really exactly as advertised, just good, just quite good,

870
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: not like great. That basst is not gonna like shock

871
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: your jaw's not dropping. You watch Chris Basset pitch, but

872
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like that is a good pitcher. He

873
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: fills in the role that we had a very similar

874
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: type ish pitcher Phill and last Marcus Strowman, of just

875
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: being reliable every five days, giving us some length and

876
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: keeping us at absolute worst in the game.

877
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: We mentioned the consecutive sixth inning streak from Bassett. Did

878
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: it again this one, of course, if we went and

879
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 2: have brought it up six innings, six strikeouts, two walks,

880
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: five hits. One earned craziest thing that Bassett did that

881
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: I just love shouting out whenever he does it, got

882
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: a whiff with six different pitches.

883
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: They were showing him going through his signs with a

884
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: needle behind the plate today and that he shakes off

885
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: a lot. But it's not necessarily because like he's like, no,

886
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: you don't know what I want. It's more like, no,

887
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: I just throw like so many pitches, like sometimes hard

888
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: just pick you gotta figure it out. You got a

889
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: one and six chance and then depending on locations too,

890
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: Like the possibilities are endless with Chris Bassett.

891
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: And I mentioned the last episode that his slider and

892
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: curveball he'd been trying to use him a little bit more.

893
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: It seems like did again this one. Trending up more sliders,

894
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: more curveballs. Chris Basst is harder to hit.

895
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: Which is awesome. What's his name, Jeremy Hefner, You rocket

896
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: the jersey of course. Just think, Just think about some

897
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: of the sliders in the league in the development that

898
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: we've seen, like when the Grom's healthy, nasty slider. Obviously,

899
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz has one of the nastiest sliders in baseball.

900
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: David Peterson is one of the nastiest sliders in baseball.

901
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: Whatever Jeremy Hefner does for the slider.

902
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 2: Walker in Bassett, these sliders this year have become very

903
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 2: different pictures.

904
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, magical. He knows something with that slider grip and

905
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: how to throw one, and it has made a difference

906
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: for these pictures.

907
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 2: I love Jeremy after He's the guy who I am

908
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: confident we will get on the show at some point.

909
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: Definitely, I'm gonna like fangirl, like I'm gonna be starstruck.

910
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the one where we're like, we're sweating, Jeremy,

911
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: We're nervous our show talk to Francisco Indor and Peter

912
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: loon Zone will be like, oh, what's up, guys. Jeremy

913
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: Heffer be like, I can't even call him sir, probably

914
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: thank him, thank you, sir, thank you just for this,

915
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: for the pitching, for everything that's gone on. I'll talk

916
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: about pitching all day, of course, But offense was the

917
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: big story on Wednesday. Yeah, as ESPN called it a

918
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: home run barrage against Charlie Mooreton, which is not a

919
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: sentence that you hear often will along with the New

920
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: York Mets. No, not at all. But Escobar had when

921
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: Early put us up ahead, Bomb crumbed it from the

922
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: left side. Love seeing that ed Yardo Escobomb combined the two.

923
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: Francisco Indor had the big blow though through run home

924
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: run off Moreton two strikes too.

925
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: Called it, by the way, you weren't here yet. I

926
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: was talking to my roommate Alex and I was like,

927
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: just just hit a home run here, do it right now.

928
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: I need it, give me a home run. And then

929
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: Gary I heard the call well and I popped my

930
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: head out. We'll run Francisco, let's go.

931
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: And then Canna dropped another one that wound up knocking

932
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: more And out of this game. Also, this was only

933
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 2: the third time in Morn's career has ever allowed three

934
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: home runs. First time he's done this since twenty seventeen.

935
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Yeah, May nineteenth, twenty seventeen, though, so

936
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: shout out that second time. That's his birthday, May nineteenth.

937
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: Shout out, mister Sean. We'll shout out for the parents.

938
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, but got Charlie Morton, good pitcher the second time,

939
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 2: as you've gotten to him too, if I remember correct.

940
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he struggled a little bit. Remember he struggled out

941
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: the start, and then then then he was good. That

942
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: was the Jenkowski leadoff game. That was the j leadoff game,

943
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: the double header that we were literally have seen the

944
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: Braves a little bit this year at times. This was

945
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: the Lindor game though, because Lindor really did have a

946
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: hell of a game. Of course, the three run home run,

947
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: but he made some great plays on d There was

948
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: a deep ground ball in the hole that he the

949
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: fourth I think two men on. Yeah, just landed and

950
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: through an absolute seed. Like Francisco Indoor has never been

951
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: praised for his arm strength. That has always been I

952
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: would say, like if you gave him a knock defensively,

953
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: it'd be that his arm was average totally. This throw

954
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: was a seed across the infield. Back foot, throwing it

955
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: deep in the hole and he got him by a

956
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: step and a half. It was a great play.

957
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: I also recall two weeks in April where Franciscal Indoor

958
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: was kind of struggling with the throws. I think he

959
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 2: sailed one to Pete. They were just going high going low.

960
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: Wasn't that consistent? Since then, they have been crystal clear.

961
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: They've been absolutely great for Francisco. That was a big

962
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: thing that Mets fans like to get mad about to

963
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: throw them all and it's like, this, dude's fantastic. What

964
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: were we talking about.

965
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: Big time players make big time plays and big time situations,

966
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: and that's kind of a big thing with this series.

967
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: Was between the Door and Scherzer on Monday. Now they

968
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: just kind of wrap up the series. Also, want to

969
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 2: shout out know and clean up here Luis ki Army

970
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: helping him break this game open late in the game

971
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: win RBA double before an rbat bock, Jesse Chavis, shout

972
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: out to you, bro. He usually kills us, but that

973
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: was a good one. That was a good one to

974
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: get one over on him.

975
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: Love him in the four hole is hilarious, but especially

976
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: with the line I'm dropping like nine am. I was like, Yeah,

977
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: I woke up to luiski orby hitting clean up, which

978
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: is it's a great way to wake up. I like it.

979
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: Luiskor made in the four hole and the Mets scored

980
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: a ton of runs. Plans protection. I don't want to

981
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: know anyone else who could do it better. Yeah, I

982
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: mean pet Truck got three times in this game, so

983
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: maybe get it more, a little more protection.

984
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll I ever keep that going. But hey, guys,

985
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 2: we beat the Braves. We have we had fifteen games

986
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 2: against the Braves. Now we have twelve and we got

987
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 2: one on them.

988
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: We can drop the Lindor stat. You told me about

989
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 1: that the switch hitting RBIs.

990
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: Oh, this was this was a crazy Tim kirchenstat they

991
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: dropped on the broadcast because this home run sent Lindor

992
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: the sixty seven RBIs in the half, which is more

993
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: than you have all of last year. It's the most

994
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 2: is the most any shortstop in all of baseball right now?

995
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: And this was the first time. Get rid of this one, guys,

996
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: This isn't nuts.

997
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: First time in the history of the National League that

998
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: the switch hitting shortstop had more than sixty five RBIs

999
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: by the All Star break.

1000
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: Unbelievable crazy. This guy's stinks most terrible overpaid Francisco Lador

1001
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: so bad? Where where were they? Where would we be

1002
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: without for his to school indoor? Like I significantly worse.

1003
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't been like MVP level type play statistically,

1004
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 1: like he doesn't have like a nine to fifty ops,

1005
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: but like the guy is driving in runs and hitting

1006
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: home runs, which are two things that we've been begging

1007
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: for Mets players to do. And he's like.

1008
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: Fifteen percent bet in the league average right now in

1009
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 2: terms of WRC plus NOPs plus. That's basically completely in

1010
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: line with career averages besides twenty eighteen when he went

1011
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: just crazy ballistic, second highest bower rate of his whole

1012
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: career too, right now, first time it's ever been above

1013
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: six percent, besides that twenty eighteen year when it was

1014
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: alway up seven percent, So not that big of a difference.

1015
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: They're either, and he's already like almost a three and

1016
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 2: a half win player. Like we're only a few games

1017
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: past the midway point of the season.

1018
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: Great defense is sick. The dudes on pace for basically

1019
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: thirty and one to fifteen and like a six war

1020
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: just for elite stinks. That's oh god, thirty thirty and

1021
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: one to fifteen don't want that on my side.

1022
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: I just feel so bad for all the Mets fans

1023
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 2: that had to be crowdsourced for Francisco endorse contract and

1024
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: are frustrated by how much you make.

1025
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: I know, the money that's coming out of our I had. Yeah,

1026
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: if I was paying this on tracks, Wow, good thing.

1027
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: Good thing we're not because the guy's great, who cares

1028
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: and beat the braves? Beat the braves. That's that's so big.

1029
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: Everyone was sweating, myself included, and we were making jokes

1030
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: at the intro of the show, like beating at all

1031
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: these players. We did actually beat them without Jeff McNeil

1032
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: stalking Martey, two integral parts of this offense.

1033
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 2: Two of the top five Hitzeness lineup, two stars literally,

1034
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: and we only got one roster spot back for them.

1035
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: We played this entire series with a short bench for

1036
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 2: Starling Marteo's not in the IL but wasn't available.

1037
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: It's like we didn't even beat them. A full strength

1038
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: Jacob A Gron might knocking on everything. Jacob Gron might

1039
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: come back at some point this season. That's that's that's

1040
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: the best way, I'll put it as a triple a

1041
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: rehab start coming out or coming on the day that

1042
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: you guys will be listening to the Yeah, so fingers

1043
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: crossed prayer circles were everybody. Yeah, everyone watch party. It's

1044
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: free on OMBTV.

1045
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: By the way, if you got it, amazing, that's pretty cool, honestly,

1046
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 2: Like this is the first time the Braves have lost

1047
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: the series. Besides, and they played the Dodger, soh you

1048
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 2: played the other the two teams, the two best records

1049
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 2: national League, you might lose a series.

1050
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: I know. The Nationals are fun. The Marlins were fun.

1051
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: They got ahold of the Giant, the Phillies. But the

1052
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: Pirates forever. Yeah, six teams Pirates, we'll get those. We

1053
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: have those games.

1054
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 2: Two Mets fans, look at our schedule September if you

1055
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: guys want to want to get excited about something. But

1056
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: we didn't even let any of their starters get through

1057
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: the sixth inning sick. And these are three really good pitchers,

1058
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 2: Max Free, Spencer Strod, Charlie Moore, and these are three

1059
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: really good pitches there, and none of them got through

1060
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: the sixth Spencer Striders is he All Star Spencer Strider no,

1061
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 2: right freaking should be.

1062
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: He should be why he has an argument the start?

1063
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: How did he not make it if he didn't? But

1064
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: Max Freed is one for sure. Yeah, I know that.

1065
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: I mean, like, the Mets took a team that was hot,

1066
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: like we mentioned coming into this series, what there were

1067
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty nine to eight in their previous thirty seven games

1068
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: or whatever. That was quick math, and the Mets took

1069
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: two of three from them at home in Atlanta without

1070
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: some of our best players. Of course, they're missing Ozzie

1071
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: Albies two, so you can take that for what it is,

1072
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: but we're able to limit Ronald Acuna's damage. Austin Riley

1073
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: and Maddwilson still did stuff, but they're really really good players.

1074
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: And that was pretty much it. Like Duvall hit the

1075
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: home running game two when the game was already kind

1076
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: of out of reach ish, Like, I'm really really impressed

1077
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: with how the Mets played hard.

1078
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 2: Didn't get to their bullpen though, and that's one thing

1079
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 2: that gives me a little pause that bras this bris

1080
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: bullpen's coming out of nowhere going really good. They have

1081
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: tons of lefties in there too, which is a weird element,

1082
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: and not many teams happening. Four lefties in Mat Penn.

1083
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: Which is all, yeah, that's so cool. And Aj Minterer

1084
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: looks like he actually might remember how to pitch again.

1085
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, Aj Mencher is quite good. Same with Matt six,

1086
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: same with McHugh. There's the Evan League kind of impressed me. Yeah,

1087
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 2: he had some decent stuff coming out there from the

1088
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: left side. Good good ballpen here. But like this Mets

1089
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: team just played clean, team oriented baseball, scrappy, long at bats,

1090
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 2: clutch hitting power when we needed to have it, like

1091
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 2: Ith just worked.

1092
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: And like I said at the beginning of the episode,

1093
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: Tomas Nito after the game was talking about the Mets

1094
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: mentality inside the clubhouse. It was basically like, yeah, like one,

1095
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: we know the seasons O over. We're twenty games above

1096
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: five hundred, in first place by two and a half games.

1097
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: We're no. We know we're a good team. So it's

1098
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: funny to hear that everyone's so worried. Not that we were,

1099
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 1: but a lot of people were out in the Twitter

1100
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: world and out in Mets universe. But it's nice to

1101
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: know that these guys really still have that confidence, riding high,

1102
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: feeling good, and they should. After going into Atlanta and

1103
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: they're the better.

1104
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 2: Team, absolutely proving they're the better team. He could really

1105
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 2: stake your claim on that one right now, because we're

1106
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: gonna have a five game series, a very rare five

1107
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 2: game series against the Braves August. I believe it's fourth

1108
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: through the eighth or ninth. Because it's double Heather Saturday,

1109
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: double Heather mixed ten. That's gonna be a marathon. That

1110
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 2: is going to be intense.

1111
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: Twelve more games against the Braves. There's a lot this

1112
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: we will not salakot it. Like I said at the beginning,

1113
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: we were having fun. Now we're having fun. Take your

1114
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: twenty four hours at six o'clock Thursday, July fourteenth. Focus

1115
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: on the Cups. Focus on the Cups. Gotta beat the

1116
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: Cubs because the Cubs is thinking they stink. This is

1117
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: a chance to get some games when some ball games

1118
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: going into the All Star Break, and I really hope

1119
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: they do. Also, speaking of the All Star Break, Pete

1120
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: Alonzo home Run Derby confirmed. The home run Derby looks

1121
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be absolutely sick. By the way the

1122
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: names have been announced, I think are Alonzo Soto Albert Poohols,

1123
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: which is hilarious because he's like one hundred years old.

1124
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: I still want to see it happen. Julio Rodriguez just

1125
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: got announced which dark horse pick if it's not going

1126
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: to be Pete. And then there's also Ronda Kunya and

1127
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber. I don't know if there's been any other

1128
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: guys named, but those six right there, that's a pretty

1129
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: legendary six for a home run derby. This could shave

1130
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: up to be one of the best ones there are.

1131
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: I love the home run Derby too. The homer Derby

1132
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 2: has been so much fun in recent years, not just.

1133
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 1: Because of Pete.

1134
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: Pete also helps a lot, definitely since they changed this

1135
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 2: format and made the time sick. It's one of the

1136
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: greatest adjustments in the history of sports. Like the fact

1137
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 2: that essentially you're chasing somebody. It's not like chasing with

1138
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: like the ten outs thing, and I can take fifty pitches.

1139
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 2: You have to be swinging, swing and swinging.

1140
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I think Pete has been

1141
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: so good at it is one that guy can just

1142
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: hit home runs to right center field like it's nothing.

1143
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: He can basically be almost lazy on a swing and

1144
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: hit a home run in two shouts to Dave Jouss

1145
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: no longer with the organization. I don't believe. But dude's

1146
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: a money pitcher. The dude doesn't throw balls, and he'll

1147
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: be pitching to Pete again in this home run Derby.

1148
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: I want them to have a nice, healthy batting practice,

1149
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 2: you know, streak before we get to the game. We'll

1150
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 2: probably do it more of a more of an All

1151
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 2: Star preview homer An Derby preview on the Sunday episode

1152
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: at the end of the Cup series. But cool that

1153
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 2: Pete's doing it again. I think only one other player's

1154
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,479
Speaker 2: ever three Pe did in the home run Derby.

1155
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: Who is it? Griffy? Oh yeah, it's a good player

1156
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: to be in a similar conversation with very different athletically yeah,

1157
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: almost no similarities besides the game they play. Yeah, besides

1158
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: that they're both good at baseball.

1159
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: Griffy's really cool, slick, suave, fast, Pete is fun and

1160
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: goofy Burley hits home runs.

1161
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it plays first a little different, so different.

1162
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 2: I would like that'd be cool for the w though,

1163
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 2: Oh i'd be sick. I'm sure it's gonna be la.

1164
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna be out there.

1165
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it not us. We won't be out there.

1166
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: We won't be out there. Sadly, I kind of would

1167
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: have been like to, but it would have been cool.

1168
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: But also I'm okay to miss the l A one

1169
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: because this happened very this. This this we got to

1170
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: here recently with it's like a seventh episode with the

1171
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: Mets something like that. We're just just about a month

1172
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: and one two episode one or two I believe was

1173
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: the first Mets one. Just about a month in working

1174
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: with the Mets here, and I mean LA is a

1175
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: good one. It's been a tough part. I would like

1176
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: to spend a couple days in Los Angeles. I'll never

1177
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: say notice some extra sun, No, definitely the sun and

1178
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: beaches a terrible hold my arm. I don't want to go,

1179
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: but twist, twist my arm, twist my arm, hold my arm,

1180
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: hold my arm. That's okay, ah whatever, it feels nothing.

1181
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: For what like fifty minutes into this episode, I'm gonna

1182
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: get a little crazy with what I'm talking about and

1183
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: losing my mind on some of these sayings.

1184
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: And we did get through the brave stuff relative quickly.

1185
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 2: And you guys have been begging for some trade talk,

1186
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: so we're gonna give you, guys, maybe two or three

1187
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: minutes of it.

1188
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, short, short stuff. Not a big one yet. The

1189
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,479
Speaker 1: trade deadlines you enlightened me August second, Yeah, August second,

1190
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: I'll juice. I thought it was July thirty first. So

1191
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,959
Speaker 1: I think the trade talk also comes down a little

1192
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: bit too with the Mets winning in the series, just

1193
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: because I think it at least allows you to think

1194
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: that everything's completely one thousand percent okay.

1195
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: And also I've been telling everyone on Twitter, trade talk

1196
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 2: July hit me in July. I just want to start

1197
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: answering questions. I feel like, realistically, the trades don't even

1198
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 2: get hot until the All Star break. After the All

1199
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: Star break, yeah, everyone takes some time off, step step away, recalibrate, rest, refresh,

1200
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: think about it a little bit more.

1201
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: What you need, what you want to get.

1202
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 2: And if you're talking about what the Mets want to get,

1203
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: it seems like they're completely zero thin on grabbing bats.

1204
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably an okay move. I guess

1205
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: the right to say I really think that's all right

1206
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking of like some of the acquisitions that

1207
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: they made in twenty fifteen, they were big bats, and

1208
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of guys like one Yuribay, Kelly Johnson, some

1209
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: dudes that make an impact, help relieve a little bit

1210
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: of the pressure maybe on guys who are currently playing

1211
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: every day, like in Eduardo Escobar, you can now give

1212
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: them a day off because you could have someone fill

1213
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: in that third base. And I know, we've got some

1214
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: names here of guys that I think would fit in

1215
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: really nicely in this lineup that would be good additions.

1216
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and these aren't the sexiest names in the world.

1217
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 2: These are not the names you guys probably really want

1218
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 2: to here. It's not the names you expect. But also

1219
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,959
Speaker 2: this market for bats is a little bit dry.

1220
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: And also the market's weird now because like a team

1221
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: like the Orioles, who was gonna be one of the

1222
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 1: premier bats out there, Mariners and the Mariners they've gotten

1223
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: hot and they're competing for playoff spots. The Oarls are

1224
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: like two and a half games out of the wildcard

1225
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: nine game winning streak at the time of this record there,

1226
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: they've been one of the most fun teams in base

1227
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: They've been awesome. So Trey Mancine's not going anywhere, probably

1228
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: probably Sam and Mitchaniger. Yeah, so some of the big

1229
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: names on the bat side. But a guy like Jonathan Scope,

1230
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: who hast hit up well this year. But I think

1231
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: you were because you threw that name out at me.

1232
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 1: I think you say he's playing better now. His last

1233
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: month has been significantly better than the first two.

1234
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: His chain rates gone down of the last month, more

1235
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 2: line careerbverages, He's getting his bower right back up.

1236
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: He's hitting for more power, more fly balls.

1237
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 2: He's a guy who can fill in a first he

1238
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: can play second, but not it's not the most spry anymore.

1239
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: He's get a little bit older at second base. He

1240
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: looks great, looks great. Weird though it might be a

1241
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: weird the review. I think it's a little fraudulent at time,

1242
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: might be a wird situation.

1243
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: He could also probably in a pinch, find a way

1244
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 2: to play third. Like I'm sure he's got a strong arm.

1245
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: There you go, right, So, like I think Jonathan Scope,

1246
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 2: and this this is again, this type of play we're

1247
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 2: gonna be talking about for now.

1248
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, for now.

1249
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: We might get crazy in an episode in a week

1250
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 2: or two. But he's the kind of guy who can

1251
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 2: help this team a lot. He'd be a significant upgrade

1252
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 2: over like he would be a big help to this bench.

1253
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hunter Dozier is another name a guy who can

1254
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: play a litany of.

1255
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 2: Super similar He can play third, he could play first,

1256
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 2: he could play corner outfield. He hits fine, he's not

1257
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: you know, you're not breaking down any walls. See Hunter

1258
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 2: dozer play appearance.

1259
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: I'd also love to see him get out of Kansas City.

1260
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe get you rejuvenate some of these

1261
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: guys on bad teams. You could see a little run

1262
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 2: in them, like one guy like that, Nelson Cruiz and

1263
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: Washington Nationals. He's not necessarily my first choice, even though

1264
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 2: he probably he has the best offensive ceiling on this list,

1265
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 2: just because I'd like someone who can't play some defense,

1266
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: give this bench some versatility, because we already have a

1267
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 2: guy in JD. Davis who might still be here after

1268
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, who kind of is just the pure DH,

1269
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 2: a tiny bit third base mixed in. Nelson Cruz will

1270
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 2: be a pure DH with like a tiny bit of

1271
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 2: first base mixed in barely. Probably not us. The Rays

1272
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 2: did that because they don't care about first base defense.

1273
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: But I just he's someone who probably is the highest

1274
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: offensive ceiling hasn't been great this year, but still can hit.

1275
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 2: He still found ways, found times, found his moments. But

1276
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: he'd be someone who just absolutely helped the DH spot.

1277
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 2: One of your favorite Daniel Vogelbach.

1278
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: Love vogel Box. He's just hilarious guy to bring in

1279
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: the locker room. Dude. I would love to see him

1280
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: and Pete just hang out, just chill, hang out. Just

1281
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: a video series on them. Tommy Hunter, I bet you

1282
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: would be a good front with Daniel Vogelbach. With the

1283
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: similarities between these guys large burly men, Burley, I feel

1284
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: it is the best way to do Dane Vogelox five

1285
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: eleven by the way, Yeah, think so easy. He's short

1286
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: and stocking. He runs like Babe Ruth. Also swings a

1287
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: little bit like Baby Ruth. The dude's got a violet

1288
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: lefty swing. Definitely.

1289
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: The Voge doesn't make the most common to contact, but

1290
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 2: when he does, it goes a long way. High walkerate,

1291
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 2: high care rate has been the book on vogel Bach forever.

1292
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: He's someone who just like he'll give you a good

1293
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 2: at bat, especially as a lefty.

1294
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's strong bat. Brandon Drury, you guys remember

1295
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: him from last year Net legend Raking right now, you

1296
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: gotta imagine the Reds are gonna trade him. He's essentially free,

1297
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: so every single team's probably gonna be interested in him,

1298
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: which would maybe be why the Mets don't go after him,

1299
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: because you just don't want to fight over Brandon Drury definitely.

1300
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 2: And John Hayman, I know, well, not not Mark's favorite guy,

1301
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: but boss. He had his podcast called the show not

1302
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 2: making it up. It's called the show Very Creative, hilarious.

1303
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: Him and Joel Sherman. They do the episode with like

1304
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: big ass gaming headphones too. It's almost like they think

1305
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: they're announcers.

1306
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: Let's just say that.

1307
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 2: But it's hilarious if you watch the videos because they're

1308
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: also real close to the camera because they're pretty old.

1309
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 2: But they had Sandy Alison on their show and he

1310
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: said that DH which.

1311
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that name in a while, but yes,

1312
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: Andy Wow.

1313
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 2: He said that DH is the mets primary concern and

1314
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 2: they don't see very much competition for the guys they're

1315
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: going after. Okay, so it seems like the Mets are

1316
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 2: going to kind of hang out in this like second

1317
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: tier of DH because there's so many If you say

1318
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: you need to fill dh.

1319
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: Anyone could fill that role. Literally, even if you're a

1320
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: good fielder, you could hit play and.

1321
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 2: Then you just mix around, kind of like Dozer in

1322
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 2: scope and David praltonno the name who's going to be

1323
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 2: available who I think could be a good fit for

1324
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: this Mets team. So it seems like the Mets aren't

1325
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 2: trying to get a biding war because, as we all know,

1326
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: the Mets farm system is top heavy, and they don't

1327
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like they seem very willing to trade from

1328
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 2: the strengths.

1329
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: It's also worth noting that the Mets have so many

1330
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: picks in the upcoming MLB draft. What is it. I

1331
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: know we have two in the first round, obviously, but

1332
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: there's something like I want to say, like six or

1333
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: seven in the first one hundred four in the top

1334
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: seventy or something. Yeah, some insane number that's high, and

1335
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: those picks will be available, will be traded once they

1336
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: get drafted this weekend, right, Yeah, this weekend, it's gonna

1337
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: be on Sunday. You'll be able to move some of

1338
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: those guys. And getting that influx of top picks will

1339
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: make this Mets farm system a lot deeper and you'll

1340
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: be able to project a lot more of what the

1341
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: Mets could be looking at in the future as opposed

1342
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 1: to if you didn't have them and trading a guy

1343
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: maybe like a Ronnie Mauricio. But once we get those

1344
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: picks in, see you the guys have, the Mets become

1345
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: all of a sudden a little bit more flexible in

1346
00:50:59,360 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: moves they can make.

1347
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely and a lot of people have been hitting us

1348
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 2: up about Mets needing bullpen help with the deadline, where

1349
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: I think that it kind of feels that way, and

1350
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 2: I've said this a lot on this show, it's not

1351
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 2: really actually born out in the statistics. The Mets bullpen

1352
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: right now tenth low ISDRA in all Baseball and second

1353
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 2: highest trackout rate, two things we love to hear. Love that,

1354
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 2: And we're gonna be getting Trevor May back he's been throwing.

1355
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill is probably gonna come back in a relief role.

1356
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 2: He has a bullpen on Friday for the first time

1357
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: in a few months. Jacob de Grom, if he does

1358
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: come back, he's got everything longer, everything gets better there.

1359
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 2: So I think there will be some Mets probably will

1360
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 2: grab a reliever or two.

1361
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: You can just always find a good guy for free,

1362
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: and I'll get some fun names for you guys.

1363
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 2: Whenever we do our big trade deadline primer, I'll find

1364
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 2: some some ridiculous player on the Tigers of the Royals

1365
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 2: or something out of nowhere.

1366
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: Dylan Coleman's a good one who I like. Yeah, pulled

1367
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: out all the Royals exactly there it is, but that's

1368
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, we'll find relief.

1369
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 2: I don't think relief is anywhere near the top of

1370
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 2: the Mets wish list. But you mentioned that will be

1371
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 2: draft being Sunday. I totally forgot about that. You're a

1372
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: bit of a big draft guy, definite bigger than me.

1373
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 2: Quick two minutes. What do you want to message with

1374
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 2: two first round picks.

1375
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: I want a pitcher. I want to hit her and

1376
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: I specifically, if we're talking a hitter. I want an outfielder.

1377
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: There's a couple outfielders that I particularly love. This doesn't

1378
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: mean anything in terms of the Mets. We unfortunately have

1379
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: no inside information on this. I would love to be

1380
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: looped in on the draft picks. I'd be sick as

1381
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: a guy who loves the MLB draft, but a guy

1382
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: I particularly like that. I don't think they'll take this

1383
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: high chase, the latter out of James Madison. Dude's a

1384
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: really really, really really good baseball player, just got hurt

1385
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: early in the season, so his numbers were a little

1386
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: bit wonky. A name that they've been attached to is

1387
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: well Brock Porter, who's one of the high school arms,

1388
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: the top high school arm right now. Because a guy

1389
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: Dylan LESCo, who was a consensus top five pick before

1390
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: he got Tommy John surgery as a high schooler. He

1391
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: was a guy I'm also interested in. I would like

1392
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: the Mets take a look at There's a bunch of

1393
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: really good players out there. I think I saw Drew

1394
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: Gilbert was mocked to the Mets in a different mock draft.

1395
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: Who's an outfielder from Tennessee. I want athletic outfielders, and

1396
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: I want young pitchers because I really do think that

1397
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: the Mets pitching development will end up being one of

1398
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: the better ones in all of baseball. I'd love to

1399
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: see what they can do with a young, bright arm.

1400
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 1: And we don't have that much outfield depth I feel

1401
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: like in the minor league system or just real pitting depth. Yeah,

1402
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: just in general. Like Alex Ramirez is our top guy

1403
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know who's next. For the outfielders, really

1404
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: like Nick Plumber and Clude Lee are great. It's some

1405
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: of the international Assigneese who are still very young in

1406
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: the DSL, but we're lacking those like nineteen to twenty

1407
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: one year olds with like that true what is their ceiling?

1408
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: What is their floor type talent? And I think this

1409
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: draft pool in general does have a lot of outfielders

1410
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: that could fit this name. Like Jace Young has also

1411
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: been floating around. If Cam Collier falls to the Mets,

1412
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: I would love for them to take him. He's sick.

1413
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: This draft pool is really really top heavy in terms

1414
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: of stars, but I think there's a lot of really

1415
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: really good players in that middle chunk. And luckily for

1416
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: US Mets fans, we have a lot of picks in

1417
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: that middle chunk.

1418
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, one guy I like a lot too from my

1419
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 2: very medium metal research, Justin Crawford, Carl Crawford's kid. A

1420
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: lot of kids in this draft, yes, Matt Holliday's kid,

1421
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 2: Andrew Jones' kid, Carl Crawford's kid, missing any kids.

1422
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: Daniel Sussack is Andrew sussacks kid. There you go, which

1423
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: the kids not Andrew Sussack does not nearly have the

1424
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: the same panash as those three guys. But Daniel Susaxson

1425
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: name that's been attached to the Mets too, as a

1426
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: catcher for Arizona. I like Crawford.

1427
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 2: Crawford It's like, I think he's like six two or

1428
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: six three as a high schooler Bishop Gorman. He's one

1429
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five pounds, but I think he might

1430
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 2: fill out, especially seeing his dad's frame like Cracrafford, a

1431
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 2: little bit more meat than I think a lot of

1432
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 2: people remember.

1433
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: But I like him.

1434
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 2: He's not shown that much power yet in games, but

1435
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: I've read shout out Baseball America that his batting practices

1436
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 2: are much significantly more lively in his game tape right now.

1437
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 2: A lot of times with a young guy who hasn't

1438
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 2: filled out, that is kind of a way to project power.

1439
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: I like him.

1440
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 2: I do really think the Mets are gonna go hither

1441
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 2: hither with those first two picks. Maybe a prep bat

1442
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 2: and then a college bat to go a risky in

1443
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 2: a safe and then just like last year, just pep

1444
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 2: for the pitchers all through there. Yeah, get your overslot

1445
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 2: pitchers from weird places like Canada high School and just

1446
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 2: throw them in, throw them in, throw them in, get

1447
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: like two hitters, six pictures and then just best available.

1448
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: And when we do see the picks, of course, we

1449
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: will talk about this on the episode. Maybe it'll even

1450
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: be its own episode. Who knows that this good modest

1451
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: episode during the break m'll be draft special. But we'll

1452
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: dive fully deep into whatever guys we get and we'll

1453
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: tell you everything you need to know. But right now

1454
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: we're just speculating, throwing names out there that we personally like.

1455
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're not experts. Mark a little bit, and

1456
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 2: Mark was credential for the MLB Draft combine last year.

1457
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 2: It was there last year, and let me tell you,

1458
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 2: the guys that I liked have been money. One of them,

1459
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 2: by the way, was Tommy White, who was one of

1460
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 2: the premier college baseball hitters last year. So go a

1461
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 2: little pat myself on the back.

1462
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: There a little draft job draft neck scout, Yeah, draft

1463
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: neck draft draft neck draft. That's too many g's too many.

1464
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: There's there's one G. There's one G at draft draft

1465
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: the draft, and G there's a lot of f's the

1472
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 2: Saturday's game right against the Futures game, which is a

1473
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 2: little disappointing.

1474
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, sucks that, real b Yeah botched it, bo Boche.

1475
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: But also just I wish we could have had this

1476
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 1: shot to see more of these guys. Physic is gonna

1477
00:55:58,400 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: plan it for the second time in as many years.

1478
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: He's a great prospect, tons of great craft prospercs across

1479
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: the league. The game is going to be on Peacock.

1480

Speaker 1: Vantos is playing too now added Yeah he got added nice,

1481
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,719

1483
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: or something, we can help you out with it. If

1484
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: you don't have Peacock, but well, it's the point that

1485
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: game is gonna be going on during the Mets game

1486
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,720

00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 2: the Mets game, but pitching matchup for the Cup series

Speaker 2: Thursday evening. We have Carls kraskovers, Keithan Thompson Kething Thompson

Speaker 1: Car He's been the best pitcher this year.

1493
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been. He's been good him. Justin Steels also

Speaker 2: afternoon though, Circle It Friday matinee tom On Walker vers

1496
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman.

1497
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of Mets fans are ready for that one,

1498
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: and I think Marcus Struman has been waiting for this

1499
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: game all year. Leeks still actually still friends, Yeah, of course.

1500
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean like people will have their own opinions about

1501
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: Marcus Strouwman to each their own. I think he's still

1502
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: a good guy. I think he's still a good baseball player.

1503
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: I have no animosity towards him. That being said, I

1504
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: will not like to hear him trash talk. I don't

1505
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: want to hear him say anything I would like I would,

1506
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, would bring me great joy. Marcus Stroman is

1507
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: silent on Twitter this weekend because that means the Mets

1508
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: are winning.

1509
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 2: That would be nice, and they got one circles Friday,

1510
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 2: Mattine and then Saturday another two twenty Max Cherz a

1511
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 2: versus Drew Smiley like my chances in that one.

1512
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: I do like how that sounds. You gotta be aware

1513
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: of them. The wins sometimes those day games are regularly

1514
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: the ball flies. Max has had some home run issues,

1515
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: so keep an eye on the wins this weekend too.

1516
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: The Cubs broadcast, actually, they do such a good job

1517
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: every single game of outlining the wins. Was it John

1518
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: SHOMBI I think he is at Boog yeah Boog, Yeah,

1519
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: I think it is him. But they just they have

1520
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: these great graphics they make to show the different wind

1521
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: vectors too, to every field. It's really cool and it's

1522
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: like very in two of them. I really like how

1523
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: they do it. Watch some Cubs games. I don't even

1524
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: know why. I just yeah, why are you watching the Cubs?

1525
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: Fancy baseball? They do swing the bat well, the Cups, dude,

1526
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: they do. My player watching the series is a bat.

1527
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 2: But last matchup here Sunday heading into the break, David

1528
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 2: Peterson versus Adrian Sampson, Who I just I we bat?

1529
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: I think that's Adrian Sampson, I think it is. It

1530
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 1: is Adrian Sampson. We got Adrian Sampson three three R

1531
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: in the year. I guess that's not that bad. How

1532
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: many hittings is he throwing at Sea. I'm gonna say

1533
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: under fifteen, under fifteen, twenty seven, Oh, okay, twenty seven,

1534
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: and he has twenty two strikeouts in those.

1535
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 2: Dings, So he's he's not that bad. And the Cubs

1536
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 2: are not like the dumbest franchise on Earth.

1537
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: They swing the bat like we said they do.

1538
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 2: Player to watching the Cubs, I'm really starting to love

1539
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 2: Christopher Morel.

1540
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: He's so good.

1541
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 2: He had that great highlight in like his second or

1542
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: third game where he had a shot to win the

1543
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 2: ninth inning and he was like kind of freaking out

1544
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 2: and he looked back to Wilson Contreras value of having

1545
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 2: veterans on a ball club told him to relax, and

1546
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 2: he took a breath and got be hit.

1547
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: Yep, No, Christopher Morel is a good player. Also, fun

1548
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: fact about Christopher Morell, he had the hardest throw from

1549
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: the outfield this year, really average or average velocity I

1550
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: should say, from the outfield ninety eight miles an hour.

1551
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: The dude has a hose. I wouldna say's average. Think

1552
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: it's just velocity at that point. I think I think

1553
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: it was average on five throws. Oh my god, Yeah,

1554
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: ninety eight miles an hour. So the dude has a hose.

1555
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: Don't run on Christopher Morrell. Oh that's sweet. Ian HAPs

1556
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,919
Speaker 1: also swinging the bat. Well, he's a guy who's gonna

1557
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: probably get trade this deadline, you see maybe a little

1558
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: bit above with the Mets want to pay. I think

1559
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: some Mets fans are probably gonna be keeping a close

1560
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: eye on Wilson Contrails, despite both of us not thinking

1561
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: he would be a fit on this roster right now,

1562
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: I think he would be a fit on this roster.

1563
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 2: I just think it's the concept of acquiring catcher this

1564
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 2: deep into a season, having to learn a whole new

1565
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 2: everything about all these pitchers.

1566
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: It could take away from your hitting prep. And if

1567
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: you get Wilson and Terreros he's not hitting like an

1568
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:16,959
Speaker 1: All Star, you're gonna be like, why they get Wilson

1569
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: Contraras And he's also a free agent at the end.

1570
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 2: Of the Yeah, and we also have a pretty good

1571
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 2: catcher you're waiting in the wings. So I think should

1572
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 2: be ready pretty soon.

1573
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, another Venezuelan and a trunk as well. This

1574
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: Cub's team is kind of fun. They're pesky, they're scrappy,

1575
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: they can hit a little bit. Say Zuki is a

1576
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: lot of fun. He's alty right now right and says

1577
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: Zuki is healthy, so even middle of the order.

1578
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 2: Patrick Wisdom also if he makes contacts going a really

1579
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 2: long way, but he.

1580
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: Will strike out forty percent of the time.

1581
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:39,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a great sound bye against that. Facing

1582
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 2: Jacob mcgram last year, he's like, it's just not fun.

1583
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 2: It's like that's true.

1584
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: Cubs are simply a team we have to beat. Yeah,

1585
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: you got. I would like to win three of these games.

1586
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: I would really I'm gonna get greedy. I want to

1587
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: sweep sure there. But this team isn't like a pitiofally bad.

1588
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: I think they've been especially cold recently because the pitching

1589
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: is not that deep. But they have enough hitters in there. Wow.

1590
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 2: The Cubs are actually on a one two, three, four

1591
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 2: game losing streak. Good time recording with another game against

1592
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 2: the surging Orioles tonight.

1593
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Also worth noting that their bullpen stinks, but dust stink.

1594
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: David Robertson keeping out for him.

1595
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a guy that mess could be after just

1596
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 2: also a guy who knows that pitch in New York.

1597
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Dude's dude's one of those old schools sayings, good cutter,

1598
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 2: he came came out of nowhere. Actually the stuff has

1599
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 2: come back after a few years of being bad dealing

1600
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 2: with injuries.

1601
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: The stuff is good. He is real good. Not it's

1602
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: not like he's really good. I mean like he's real

1603
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: life good. Like it's not it's not smoking mirror is good.

1604
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: He's good. David Robertson keeping out for him this year's

1605
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: actually hopefully we don't see him because that means the

1606
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Mets are woulden. Yeah, don't don't see him one don't

1607
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: let him pitch again until the All Star bring give me,

1608
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: give me one more scroll. If I guess I find

1609
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: a fun reliever on the Cubs, oh yeah, you could. Definitely.

1610
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: They will have some names because like, oh, I don't

1611
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: know if this guy's active in healthy right now, but Scott,

1612
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how pronounce that. Fross f ros FROs.

1613
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: I think Froz. He's got crazy stuff. Okay, he's he's

1614
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: weird wonky guy. There's James Weird Reliever, weird weird Believer

01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,640
