00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,799

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: weird Peter A Lonzo rumor that Joel Sherman just randomly

35
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: We're like two or three miles away from each other,

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: which is funny because we kind of always are ten

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: miles away from each other, but it's just back in

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: New Jersey this time.

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: We should actually chart that we should see I at

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: the distance from Bushwick to his story is that much

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: different than all sits outside. Big shout out to the moms,

Speaker 2: good bree cheese, like everybody was having it. She had

54
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: raspberries on top of the dense milk and pistachios. Was delicious,

55
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: and she had like four or five crackers of it.

56
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: My friend's grandpa goes, wow, you really like that. You're

Speaker 1: Huh.

59
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: Then then we're talking later on about American idol and

60
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: he's like, uh, that Katie Perrys, she's such a bhutan,

61
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,160

00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,240

Speaker 1: It was He's so funny all day. I love I

Speaker 1: love Papa Al.

66
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: But great week That great weekend for the Mets could

67
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: have been a better weekend for the Mets. Was almost

68
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: a horrible weekend for the Mets. Brandon will save Us,

69
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Thank God. Super cool to watch Christian Scott in person

70
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: and shout out your baseball coach, Coach Belford. But another

71
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: series where you just feel like the Mets are annoyingly

72
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: in every game and if they did a few more

73
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: things right, they could have taken this series and a

74
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: chance to win all three of them in the ninth inning.

75
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: But it's just I don't know, it's like such a

76
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: push and pull with this team right now, where it's

77
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: like I think they're okay, but sometimes they're bad, but

78
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: sometimes they're good, and you take two or three from

79
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: the Braves and they're building. Then they take two of

80
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: three hours and I don't think either team really played

81
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: well this series. So it sucks to lose winnable games

82
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: of the Braves when they don't bring their eight game.

83
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: But it's just just like they just they just keep

84
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: hanging around this five hundred line. They're just hanging around,

85
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: either waiting to go on and run or get knocked out,

86
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: and it's just.

87
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't know which way they're gonna fall. I mean,

88
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: to be fair, this is what David Curtin's teams do

89
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: in the history of time. They love to be five hundred.

90
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: They love to then not really do much at the

91
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: trade deadline, and then they somehow make the playoffs. So

92
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay with the trajectory. But that being said,

93
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: they showed a graphic on ESPN tonight on Sunday Night

94
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Baseball where they were talking about the difference between the

95
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Mets at home and away, and it's incredibly stark. I

96
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: think they're averaging like two and a half runs at

97
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: home per game, which is like twenty seventh in baseball.

98
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: On the road, I think they're averaging five and a half,

99
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: which is the best in Major League Baseball. So I don't.

100
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about it before.

101
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: We know, like they brought in Ben's Ausmer, who was like,

102
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: entire goal was to try to figure out how to

103
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: get people to hit better in Sydney Field.

104
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Clearly still haven't figured it out. I really don't know

105
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: what it is, because again, other teams do come in

106
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: and hit pretty fine most of the time. Like even

107
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: that ball that Pete hits a right center field tonight,

108
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: that hit off the wall. I'm like, that's a home

109
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: run for every other team. I don't know why that

110
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: ball doesn't leave the park for us. And then you

111
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: heard Brandon Nimo after he hit the walk off home

112
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: run talking to ESPN. He was saying, I was just

113
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: happy that ball got out. There's so many balls that

114
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: I've hit well this year at this stadium, that spot,

115
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: at this time of the year, at that spot where

116
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: the ball doesn't get out. So I was just happy

117
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: it got over the fence and I finally got rewarded

118
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: for it. And I'm like, God, damn it. They know

119
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: that this park sucks to hit into. That's the worst part.

120
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Like we talk about the mental blocks sometimes. I talked

121
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: about the cold weather, We talked about the different different

122
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: things here now, but seems like there's also like the man,

123
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: it sucks to hit at City Field as well with

124
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: the team, but Zoe, it sucks. It does suck for everybody.

125
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: Like I think that's met fans speak, like everybody else

126
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: comes here and hiss, but we can't because again Mets,

127
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: year after year with the Mets seem like they're pitching

128
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: isn't exactly great they're pitching, Ray always winds up looking

129
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: much better than we think the talent is, so I

130
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: think it does do it. And it's just it's such

131
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: a combination of the fact that the Mets are on

132
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: the Marina, which I think is so underrated. No one

133
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: thinks about how close the Mets are to a body

134
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: of water, fucking plans. I know the planes have something

135
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: to do with it. No one's ever been able to

136
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: prove it, but I know those plays are something to do

137
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: with it. And it's just funny. But again, this game,

138
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 2: that just this series kind of encapsulated who this Mets

139
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: team has been this year, which is just they keep fighting, liken't.

140
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to take moral victories. I hate that shit.

141
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: But eleven of the mets nineteen wins this year been

142
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: comforted behind wins. It's stark that second most comfort behind

143
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: wins in baseball, behind the Yankees. I think you just

144
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: have the third most wins in baseball. And every ninth

145
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: inning in the series, they did make the Brave sweat

146
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: like they put men on basse against Ryceell Glaciers on

147
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: Friday and Saturday.

148
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: JD.

149
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: Martinez missed the game winning home run by six inches

150
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: on Friday night, and then Brett Bayley, with two hours

151
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: in the ninth inning on Saturday, smoked a change up

152
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: from Igalacias that he just missed the arrow on it,

153
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: and Michael Harris got to the spot and it was

154
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: just like, oh damn. Michael Harris had a logo catches

155
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: in the series two, but again no moral victories. But

156
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: the fourth walk off win for the Mets too is

157
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: most of the National League. So it's just there is

158
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: a fight in this team. There's definitely still a belief

159
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: and it salvage the series getting the one win.

160
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: But again it's just push and pull, like are they good?

161
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Are they bad? They five hundred? Like they're just in here?

162
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: Are we at the point yet where we are no

163
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: longer going to say, like how long is the pitching

164
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: gonna last?

165
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: Do we just do we think that this is sticky?

166
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: Do we think that this is legit? Because really, if

167
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: the Mets could just hit like an average team right

168
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: now offensively, there are probably four or five games above

169
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: five hundred. But because the bats have been so feeble,

170
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: so weak, relatively miserable. They haven't been able to squeak

171
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: away some of these games that are so winnable for them,

172
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: even though they they do have fight. This team does fight,

173
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's a big, big chip on Carlos

174
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: Mendoz's shoulder. I feel really good with him as a

175
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: manager as well.

176
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but also definitely will say I mean, does have

177
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: made some weird decisions on Sunday Nights game.

178
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: I think we'll talk about them too.

179
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: The fact that he he burned every player in his

180
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: bench by the seventh inning, I was like, oh God,

181
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: I don't in a team that doesn't have enough regulars

182
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: who are good at baseball, would have liked to have

183
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: a few more wrinkles late. Again, wound up winning the game,

184
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: didn't matther him subbing in Brandon Neimo was the winning

185
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: winning moment of the game. But the Mets pitching that

186
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: statistically has taken a pretty substantial step back in the

187
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: last few weeks, mostly because of jose Kntana. Our starter

188
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 2: as Era has dropped a twenty third in the league,

189
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: which again that's mostly jose Kntana. We'll talk about him

190
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: in a second, because he's someone who sneakily his rotation

191
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: spot is probably gonna be up for grabs at some

192
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: point with all these things, with these guys coming.

193
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Back, we knew was always a possibility, even from the

194
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: day the Mets signed him. This was someone that when

195
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: we were still the official podcast of the team, we

196
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: thought there was no shot they'd ever signed Jose Kintana.

197
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: So we didn't offseason episode, remember, and on it we

198
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: were like, there's one guy we don't want the Mets

199
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: to sign, and you like, it's Jose Kintana. And we talked,

200
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: I think about for ten or fifteen minutes about why

201
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: Jose Kintana was the wrong signing for this team to make,

202
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: and he was like one of the first moves they made.

203
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was left in there, thankfully, shout out,

204
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: shout out the end of there. But the Mets starting

205
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: rotation twenty fifth in the league innings pitched, which again,

206
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: like that's just putting the strain on the bullpen and

207
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: Riguer keeps doing amazing things every night, and when Diaz

208
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 2: had had a couple of periods here where he feels

209
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,559
Speaker 2: back on track, but you just hope that Christian Scott

210
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: can now like kind of level level of rotation a

211
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: little bit because they're still getting a decent amount of strikeouts,

212
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: which is Manaiah coming back to Earth, Kintana getting his

213
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: tits lit on fire for his last couple of starts,

214
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: and we're still we're still technically missing. I'll even say,

215
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: like for most of the season our two best pitchers,

216
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: because now I think everyone is on board with what

217
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: we've been saying on this show that Christian Scott is

218
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: the best starting pitcher that the Mets have right now.

219
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: Like pretty addedly, Sevrino still looks awesome. It's ra rose

220
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: to night to three point zero and then just like Sanga,

221
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: which we're gonna talk about that weird shit going on

222
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: with him in a second, but just it's is a

223
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: push and pull happening where they just it's always like

224
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: we said that a mess Twitter, remember Diane is mean

225
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: the other day, where they just can't get all three

226
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: of the things to work at the same time. And

227
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: I think the pitching will I come back and find

228
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: this level and that era will wind up as like

229
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: the seventeenth best start there's vra in the league at

230
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: the end of the season, but those innings pitch are

231
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: would worry me right now, just because we keep putting

232
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: stress on that bullpen. We keep walking guys. I think

233
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: we have the highest walk rate for any starting rotation plea.

234
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm loaning it up right now. We have, yes,

235
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: the highest walk rate, tie with the Astros. Actually, so

236
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: it's just we're doing things that like can't stand up

237
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: on their own for very long. But there's also a

238
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: lot of help coming. So again, pushing pulls whole things.

239
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Pushing Paul, yeah, I mean they're gonna move to the

240
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: six man rotation with McGill, and if Peterson eventually comes

241
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: back to which I think will help, maybe you can

242
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: stretch these guys out a little bit longer too. It

243
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: is so frustrating, though, that we can't put the hitting together,

244
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: because even on a night like when Cantana again didn't

245
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: pitch well, or you got Christian Scott who pitched really

246
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: well awesome, to lose those games is like such a

247
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: gut punch, especially to a divisional opponent who this is

248
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: the time to beat the Braves. I don't know if

249
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna play any worse baseball than they are right now,

250
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: which is saying something because I think they're ten games

251
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: above five hundred still, which is so messed up. But

252
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: I almost said messed up there. Just the brain is

253
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: so in mess up world.

254
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: But it like you said, there's no moral victories because

255
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: those are lame and those are for losers to do.

256
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: Moral victories totally, But you can see a path, like

257
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: you said, were the Mets take two of three of

258
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: the series, or you could even say take three of three,

259
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: which is encouraging. I think at the most this was

260
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: an encouraging series of this is not a bad baseball team.

261
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: This is kind of again what we said at the

262
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: beginning the year, this is a fine baseball team.

263
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

264
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: If I would have told you on Friday afternoon that

265
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: the Mets would allow eleven runs to the Braves in

266
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: the series, he would signed up for that. You would

267
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: be like, that's at least one win, if not two,

268
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: and possibly three. It's just and also they they're we

269
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: got we past their their two best pictures right now.

270
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 2: We even miss Sale didn't realize that, Like Freed looked amazing,

271
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: Morton turned back the clock and for some reason just

272
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: couldn't hit Price Elder. That's been the frustrating things. It

273
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: felt like this Mets team, all yucks.

274
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: They've hit the bad.

275
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: Pictures, which I was like, if Bryce Elder's a shit pitcher,

276
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: like we should be able to hit Briyce Elder. And

277
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: they've not hit against the good pitchers, which is the

278
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: mark of a team that's not really a good hitting team.

279
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: You feel that going through this Met's lineup, where again

280
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: you're like McNeil's mostly on the back out right now.

281
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: He did have the big bunt that saved the game

282
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: on day which was great, scrappy play by McNeil. Then

283
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: trying to steal third that was awesome, but Nio novaias

284
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: you're not getting any hits.

285
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: Harrison Baither is not a very good hitter. Then you

286
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: stubb in Joe.

287
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: Wendel for Brett bay who Brett Bady's been hot and

288
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: cold this year is little cold again right now? Whi

289
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: Joey Wendle is never getting hit when he subs into

290
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: that game, and he had to get that bat.

291
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: In the eighth inning. So it's just we go through

292
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: this lineup and you're like, all right, someone gonna hit, someone,

293
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: gotta hit someone, getta hit someone, get to hit, and

294
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: luckily Nemo is the guy who's been getting all the hits.

295
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: He made the breakthrough, but it's just there's something missing there.

296
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: So JJ Martinez had a big weekend, he got hot.

297
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: But yes, I think I want to talk about Christian Scott.

298
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: Now first, I think that is.

299
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: Christian Scott for a little bit.

300
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: That's the story of the weekend. That's definitely the story

301
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: of this Mets team right now. That's kind of what

302
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: is the driving force. I want to shout out a

303
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: front of the show, Tim Ryther, he had the meme

304
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: of the day on Saturday.

305
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Did you see it? Mark? Oh? It was so good

306
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: the pick because it was about Paul Skeen's debut, right.

307
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: It had like everybody was like making out right and

308
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: it was like Paul Skeen's and then one guy in

309
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: the corner with the ads like Christian scott debut.

310
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: It's like it's that meme format that's like people in

311
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: the partying and like the guy in the corners like

312
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: they don't know about this, and it was like they

313
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: don't know Christian Scott bump day. But everyone's just like

314
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: dancing in the party wearing the skiing series's.

315
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: But on YouTube. I'll throw it on the screen if

316
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: you don't see it.

317
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, funny mean by Tim, but so cool to be

318
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: in the ballpark for this debut. Just the vibe was

319
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: something that I haven't felt at a Mets game, I

320
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: think in a little while, just because this was definitely

321
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: the most crowded game at City Field all year outside

322
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: of Opening Day and the Dwight Gooden number retirement buster

323
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: rhymes throughout the first pitch. I don't know if you

324
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: caught that, but that was amazing and wore the City

325
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: connects again. We're owing four in those, but shout out

326
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: the Mets is selling a bunch of merch on those.

327
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: They're really pushing him out there. But I an engagement,

328
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: got to gotta win a game for these, and it's

329
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: just like people were buzzed and key then for the

330
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: first pitch of this game, like people were in their

331
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: seats and people were ready to go. Like the second

332
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: he stepped on the mount and Ronald Colooney stepped to the plate,

333
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 2: people were super, super super ready to watch what I

334
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: think just a lot of people were excited for a

335
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: really good pitcher pitch.

336
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was on the train on my

337
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: way back to New Jersey or no, on the way

338
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: up to Newburgh because that's where my cousin's Holy Communion

339
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: party was at. So it's on the train, and like

340
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: the connection is weirdly spotty over there. I don't know why.

341
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: So I was getting in and out, but from what

342
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: I could tell, like you said, the place looked, it

343
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: looked pretty full, Like it looked pretty packed. Yeah, And

344
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: Christian Scott himself just so impressive in like the couple

345
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: innings that I did get to watch, an actual HD quality.

346
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Just something that we've talked about on the podcast before

347
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: that we thought could have been a maybe I don't

348
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: want to say a problem, but something that to keep

349
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: an eye on for was that he maybe throws too

350
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: many strikes, too many pitches in the zone. Maybe he's

351
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: just better than these minor league players and at the

352
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: major league level they're going to catch up to that fastball.

353
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: But relatively speaking, it's not even that he's missing his spots,

354
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: because I know we're like talked about Controllver's command with him,

355
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: he's just like I am better than you are, going

356
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: to shove it down your throat. And that's what I

357
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: love from Christian Scott.

358
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's aggressiveness, it's it's like there's no fear whatsoever.

359
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: I liked when he walked down to the game too.

360
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: He came out to a future in metro booming, which

361
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: is nice.

362
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: Who it was.

363
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: I think what's called no Hustler was one of the

364
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: ones off the new album. So I was like, all right, hellyeah, Christian,

365
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: let's ride and funny too. Like you said, I had

366
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: the great seats I was sitting in, which newly minted

367
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: the Clover Club no longer the Delta Club, and the

368
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: Clover Club.

369
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: Doesn't have food anymore.

370
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: As you guys know, I'm on my hunger strike is

371
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: City Field this year, and I intended with those Clover seats.

372
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: I thought that was food.

373
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: And I know I met a boy worthy whore the

374
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: NYM at the game and he thought the same thing.

375
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: But the Mets pushed some the names on us and

376
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: I skipped breakfast. And I also I did have something

377
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: that would make me hungrier in the game, so I

378
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: was like, I'd like to I'd like to eat as

379
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 2: much to the fields food without paying for as I

380
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: possibly can. So then it was a real war of

381
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: patrition for me to get through this start without any

382
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: without a new food and wait to get back and

383
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: eat after. But so sitting in those sections, I was

384
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: right in front of the Mets wag section, the wives,

385
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: the wives and girlfriends in one fourteen, and the Scots

386
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: were like right behind me.

387
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: I could see them, like very clearly.

388
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: And mister Scott got a lot of shine last Saturday

389
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: because he had the interview with Ken Rosenthal, and like

390
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: the whole family was there, mom, brother, girlfriend, everybody, and

391
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: they were directly on the aisle like he was on

392
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: the aisle seat right there in that section, and every

393
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: time a Mets fan came back and down, they would

394
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: be like, hey, love your son, Thank you guys so much,

395
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: like really great, Like the whole game, people were shaking

396
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: his hand and being like, we love Christian, He's the best.

397
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: I was like shout out Mets fans because that was

398
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: really really cool, just really really nice moment there. And

399
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: just he came out there and he struck out of

400
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: a Cooney on four pitch to start the game, high fastballs,

401
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: nasty sweeper that he chased, got a big wif on it,

402
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: and he did the same thing to Austin Riley, high fastballs,

403
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: chased on the sweeper. He got through that standing Akunya

404
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: Albi's Riley and nine pitches and everyone was just.

405
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: Like, holy show.

406
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: Fuck, Like this felt really real before, but now this

407
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: feels really, really really real. It's just it's kind of

408
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: becoming undeniable.

409
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he really didn't have many struggles in

410
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: this game. He gave up the home run to Arcia

411
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: because of course he did. Foolish Baseball called that one

412
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: to a t He said to Lando Arcia is gonna

413
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: be a guy to watch out for. What do you know?

414
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: He made an impact in this one. But even when

415
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: he like did like theoretically like get into trouble, he

416
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: still was able to get out of it, which I

417
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: think is so impressive for a young pitcher again going

418
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: up against arguably the best lineup in baseball. Yeah, arguably.

419
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: And I think that their Coo home run was definitely

420
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: like something that I'm gonna right, I used to like

421
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: extrapolate over, just like some things that Scott can work

422
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: on is working on, and just something like just to

423
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: watch with him as we go on, because I was

424
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: really curious in this game how he was going to

425
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: approach the tough lefties, because we mentioned last week against

426
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay that I think Polasio was the only left

427
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: in the lineup. So it's not Richard Plasios to help

428
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: a baseball player, but he's not exactly Mettlson as the Albis,

429
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: even Michael Harris, so that was interesting to me. And

430
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: he got an Albi's pop out. Just the first pitching

431
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: threw him was a fastball that he missed. And then

432
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: immediately also comes up and he challenges him fastball's fastballs, fastballs,

433
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: fastballs and then drops the gyro sliders like on his hip,

434
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: which is great. And then he got into trouble with

435
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: that second inning or the third inning started with Michael Harris.

436
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: This was Harris and Arcia are both I would say

437
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: dead red Hithers, so he was he was peppering them

438
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: with off speed souf first, I'll remember the exact pitching

439
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: or that he'd dumb He threw to Harris, but he

440
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: went down to O on Harris, and that's the first

441
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: time Christian's guy's young career has been down to well

442
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: on hither Still still you have to go down three

443
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: to zero. But he went down to O and Harris

444
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: he greve him a fastball too well, he just roped

445
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: it for like one hundred one hundred ten mile on

446
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: hour sickle and he did the same thing to Arcia.

447
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: He threw him two sliders that just missed off the plate,

448
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: and then he threw him a fastball that was even

449
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: inchine side, like right on his hands. But I think

450
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: just too WOA. He was so dead red that he

451
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: just got it. He got around on it and he

452
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: snuck inside the foul pole just barely. So it's just

453
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: like m frustrating, But you could kind of just see

454
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: again this like pushing pull with Scott, where there's some

455
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: guys who wants to be careful with because they like

456
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: to hit fastballs, and he knows that he throws his

457
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: fastball in the zone, it's going to be available to him.

458
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: But again, it's just gonna be about fine tuning his

459
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: command to those Austian pitches, getting ahead of guys without fastballs,

460
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: and then he's fixing these little things. But this is

461
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: all just totally like nippicking something. And a guy who's

462
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: second major league start with a quality star against the

463
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: Braves where he was for ninety five percent of the

464
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: gamepleting control, but again just wants to extrapolate the moment

465
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: that happened. It just it just just drops him insight

466
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 2: into I think an area that if Scott fixes X,

467
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: then it's like this Skuy's the limit.

468
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: But it's just little thing that happened. Yeah, and even then,

469
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: I think this guy is still the limit. It's just

470
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: we're trying not to say he's perfect. He's not.

471
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Exactually de Gram, he's like Jacob de Gram when

472
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: he was here, he did no wrong.

473
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: That guy, Like literally, if there was a home run

474
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: that was hit, you're like to tip your cap. It

475
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: was never like what are you doing, Jake? Yeah.

476
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: And I think we're in a situation where I thought

477
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 2: people realize their mistakes of comparing anybody to like Jacob

478
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: de Gram. A couple of years ago when some content

479
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: creator compared Tyler McGill Jacob Gram and it was just

480
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: it was just some one of the most ass night

481
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: things ever said. In the end, because the thing that Christians

482
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: Got does so well is he tunnels his pitches and

483
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: he repeats his mechanics so all of his release points

484
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: are perfect, in pristine. If you guys can see him

485
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: on baseball Savan, That's what the Grond used to be

486
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: so good at. That's why the fastball and the slideer

487
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: so inceptive off each other and does that well.

488
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: And he has the whippy arm motion.

489
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: He's really skinny, and he no, no, we're never ever, ever, never, ever,

490
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: ever ever make it about Zach Wheeler baby.

491
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: Wheeler forty five, baby Wheeler. You'll do that.

492
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: And he looks similar to him. It's also about like

493
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 2: he has a low slot fastball where to get. But nevertheless, nevertheless,

494
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 2: I just I just we have to Nippi because it's

495
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: hard to contain excitement, like this is again the best

496
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: or second best lineup in baseball, and he was in

497
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: command the whole time. He was aggressive, he was firing,

498
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: He missed bats left and right, and there was there

499
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: was one at bat just to extrap play another like

500
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: small moment from this game against Olsen, the sixth inning.

501
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: We're really kind of locked in for me? How how

502
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: real this felt. This is the third time around the order,

503
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: third time mad Elson was going to see him. I

504
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: think objectively speaking, Matt Olson's like, what like a top

505
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: five left handed batter in the entire sport. Yeah, Otani Freeman,

506
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, yes so though, and then I guess

507
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: now el kyl Tucker tad On, Yeah, Dan Ellie from

508
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: the left side, so he got a top ten left

509
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: tend to hitther in baseball. Yeah, special kind of player.

510
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: Third time, you're gonna see him around the oorther and

511
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: he was peppering him with fastballs and these gyro sliders

512
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: the whole game, and even the third time around the

513
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: other Christians got looked him at Alston, he said, fuck you,

514
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the exact same thing again, and oh oh,

515
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: he put a fastball to the leathers that Alson couldn't

516
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: catch up to. Oh one, he put him a tight

517
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: slider on the hands. He fouled off both to those.

518
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: Then two pitch he wasted a slider right in his

519
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: back hip, buried it on him. Also get a little

520
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: move on it, but didn swing at it. And then

521
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: one two challenge him another fastball. Letter swung right through it.

522
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: And it's just like the fact that his stuff was

523
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: good enough to do this to this great of a

524
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: hither three times in a row and he still didn't

525
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: have an answer for it.

526
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: It was just like all the way, baby, Yeah, Christian

527
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: Scott must watch baseball if you were a New York

528
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: Mets fan, whether you want to watch this team play

529
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: all year, that's up to you. But if you're gonna

530
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: watch any games, it should be Christian Scott starts. Maybe

531
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: not the Hosy King Donald once. No, definitely not.

532
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Katana against the Braves. I know last time he

533
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: pitched against the Braves, we scored sixteen runs. Yeah, it

534
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: just it's it's getting bad for Katanas.

535
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: Now we'll go. We just had all the excitement from Christians.

536
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: Gott Now we're gonna do the bad with Katana. Take

537
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: you take your guys back down now. Yeah.

538
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: Twelve and runs in his last seven and two thurs

539
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: innings since the eight inning gem against the Cardinals is bad.

540
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: In those two weeks as Eira has risen from three

541
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 2: point four to eight to five point four to four,

542
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: which is bad.

543
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: Kunya hit the home run on Friday night.

544
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 2: It was one of the most impressive home runs I've

545
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: seen a very long time.

546
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: Wash the cold night at City Field.

547
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: It was maybe fifty degrees four hundred and sixty one

548
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: feet one hundred and fourteen miles an now off the bat.

549
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: It was just it was it was a rough time.

550
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: It's and I'm getting nervous abou Katana officially.

551
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he I mean, in a perfect world, in this rotation.

552
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: He was supposed to be the five. He was supposed

553
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: to be the four, the five, the guy that's like, hey,

554
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: every five days, you're gonna go out there. We hope

555
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: we get five maybe six out of you, and you

556
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: keep it close enough. That was his job. Obviously, with

557
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: the code, diet, injuries and what's going on with the team,

558
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: it's it's changed a little bit. But you'll get his

559
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: spall savon page and it is a lot of things

560
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: that you are not excited to see. He's not getting

561
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: any whiffs, ten percent tolen with rate at eighteen point

562
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: one percent, ten percent talle K rate. He's walking almost

563
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: ten percent the batters that he faces. He's giving up

564
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: hard hits. The average egsa Villo is super high. They're

565
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 1: they're mashing off of him. They're very, very comfortable at

566
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: the plate. And I don't this is Jose Kintana, Like

567
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: we never expected him to be any good. But even

568
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: if you look at what he was able to do

569
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: in a small sample last year or even in twenty

570
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty twenty one, he was still able to

571
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: get soft contact and right now he's getting no soft contact,

572
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: still getting ground balls at a high rate forty eight percent,

573
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: which puts some seventy third percent tile. But they're smoking

574
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: every ball, and that's kind of the problem we're running

575
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: into with Jose Kintana right now is outs are not easy.

576
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: Also with Katana, he's not missing any bats in this game,

577
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 2: and I'm a saying now he's given them all heart contact.

578
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: Like you said, the Brays had twelve hard hit balls

579
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 2: in this game, and because like wasn't a game very long,

580
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 2: basically every time they put the bat in the ball,

581
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 2: it was smoked. Right now, Katana's running a fifty ten

582
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: percent strikeout right too, which Katana has at times in

583
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: his career, who's an elite strikeout guy. But even last

584
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: year he was pushing I think it was twenty something.

585
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: It was eventually nineteen and eighteen to eight also quite bad.

586
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: But the fifteen percent right now would be the lowest

587
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: for Kantana since he was a rookie, and his walk

588
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: rate nine point seven percent would be as highest as

589
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one when he had before he had like

590
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: his second renaissance here coming with the Cardinals.

591
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: Before we come to his career, So that many free

592
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: passes that this this these few mispats and strikeouts. He

593
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: also is just not getting hitters to chase anymore, which

594
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: I think is a clear indication the stuff is taking

595
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: a step back. It's it's all getting bad right now.

596
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: And I just think that, I don't know, it's gonna

597
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: be taking a lot of smoke and mirrors for it

598
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: to get better.

599
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: And I think that there's a world where he gets pushed.

600
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Perfect world would be like Mets are competitive around the

601
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: trade deadline, like kind of just floating around where we

602
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: expect them, and they move Kintana just to somebody. We'll

603
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: take a bag of balls. We'll take you, got any

604
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: eighteen year olds like Marco Vargas hanging around again, Like

605
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: we'll just take God, Jeremy Rodriguez. We will take anything

606
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: for this guy, just because I don't I mean, he's

607
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: not a part of the future plan. We know that.

608
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna get better. It probably isn't gonna

609
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: get much better for hose of Kintana. He'll sprinkle in

610
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: a start here and there against the bad team, which,

611
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: to be fair, that is kind of what he's done

612
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: his entire career as well, Like when he was his

613
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: best in the Al Central against bad baseball teams as well,

614
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: so he's also had some quite good years.

615
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 2: The thing with Quintana also is that he we holy

616
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: love the expected stats.

617
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they tell a complete picture.

618
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 2: But in all the expected stats, he's actually apparently getting lucky,

619
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: getting lucky right now. He should be giving up more damage.

620
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: And again you can just kind of see that when

621
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: you watch him, just kind of throws a kitchen sink

622
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: at there. Even the Stars story pitched well this year. Again,

623
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: he didn't miss bats and balls, just found gloves. There's

624
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 2: not really a recipe right now for consistent Jose Kintana's

625
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: success and all all the pitch MIxS. Everything is very

626
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: steady as to what it was last year. And it's

627
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: still cold in New York, and the baseball is nurse

628
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: right now is totally fucked. So all these things happening,

629
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: he's still pitching this poorly again, makes me think that

630
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: if Tilin McGill comes back and pitches well at all,

631
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: and if Korea Sanga ever comes back, they're taking.

632
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 1: These spots and it, but they will take them from

633
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: Jose Cantana. Definitely something to keep a close eye out on.

634
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: Something else I want to bring to your guys attention

635
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: that we apologize for early in the season, and now

636
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: we're coming back Starling Marte hitting two. The experiment needs

637
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: to end. It's gotta be over. There can't be such

638
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: a mental block with Lindor and Pete where they don't

639
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: like hitting two three that you're gonna continue to hit

640
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: Starling Marte two. Because since April twenty first, he's saying

641
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: two to fourteen with a two sixty two on base

642
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: two fifty, slugging five twelve ops. He has two extra

643
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: base hits in that time three RBIs, struck out fifteen

644
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: times in sixty one played appearances like he has been.

645
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: This was what we were worried about with Starling Marte, like

646
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not gonna say like he's done. I don't

647
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: think that's fair to say to him, because he has

648
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: played well at times this year. He's been big in games.

649
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: He has spurts where he gets multiple hits, but then

650
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: he just puts together like some over fives, oh for fours,

651
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: over five, one for five, and you're like, oh, it

652
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: probably would be better to have one of our better

653
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: hitters getting these at bats up in the top of

654
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: the order, especially with how much Nimo's getting up and

655
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: getting on base, like, please, God, give us someone else

656
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: there soon.

657
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 2: Twice on Saturday, Starring Marte came to the plate with

658
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: two men on, two out, and both times he struck

659
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: out and a combined six pitches. Yeah, and it's just again,

660
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 2: right now, he already has a lower OPS than Francisco Lindor.

661
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: It's amazing how quickly that has swung, just to like talk,

662
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: because fall apple size the beginning of baseball seasons is

663
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: always crazy for that reason. But the fact that I

664
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: swung around that much this soon is again still even

665
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: a little bit shocking. If it's just he's not he's

666
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: not one of three or four best hitters in the team,

667
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: he just isn't.

668
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: And oh I took I took the wrong sample. I

669
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: should have taken it form April twenty third. If we

670
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: take it for April twenty third instead, it's an under

671
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: five hundred OPS in twelve games.

672
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 2: Like again, twelve games of OPS doesn't mean that much

673
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: at the end of the day. But it's also like

674
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: we came into the season and Starling Marte wasn't the

675
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: two hitter. But then since like the eighth or ninth

676
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: game of the season, he's been the two hitter in

677
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 2: almost every single game since, and again, to me, it's

678
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: just like, why did we change that so quickly?

679
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, he he's had a thirteen game

680
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: stretch where he had a nine hundred OPS, He's had

681
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: a twelve game stretch where he had a four ninety

682
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: five OPS, and then the other at the time he's

683
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: like been average, and it's like probably just one a

684
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: better player hitting two and getting all those at bats

685
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: than him, and just someone who just the thought about

686
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: the lineup. And again maybe it's it's just Pete Lindoor,

687
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: like we like hitting three and four. Even this game

688
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: tonight that didn't have Nimo in it, DJ just Doward

689
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: had an amazing games. Leo hit there, had two hits,

690
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: smoke the ball all times, and he gets honestly the

691
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: as Mendoza. He was like, he gets on base and

692
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: he does damage. I don't understand why he shouldn't be

693
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: at leof hit. But it's just it's funny.

694
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: But in the game like this, like it's just physical

695
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: and indols should be like I'll hit leoff win Nemos

696
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: not out there because I get on basis I play

697
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: at the ball really well. It's just in a one

698
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: at bad sample. If you have to think about you

699
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: close your eyes. Right now, it's second and third, two

700
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: outs in the ninth inning, and there's a there's one

701
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: met to get a hit. It's like you or just

702
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 2: to do the most damage. If you had to order

703
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: the guys, who are gonna do it? Brandon number one, yeah,

704
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: Brislar two, Yeah, Pete Alonto three, and who's four? DJ

705
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 2: Stewart or JJ Martinez one of the two or JD Martinez. Yeah,

706
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: it'd be nice to put the line up and now

707
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: order and be like, all right, now we're ready to go,

708
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: and now we can have a season. But I think

709
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: that experiment again, the fact that we went to the

710
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 2: season not doing it and then it took like a

711
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: like seven hot games for it to change, and now

712
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: we're just stuck in this as he keeps going fall

713
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: and farther down.

714
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Well, what about maybe JD Martinez

715
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: hitting too. He's thrown a heat up a little bit,

716
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: He's starting to pull the ball a little bit more.

717
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: We saw him just miss that home run again on

718
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: Saturday night. You saw him smoke a couple of balls

719
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: down the third baseline the other day, even like Ron

720
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: and Keith and those guys were talking about, They're like,

721
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: he's starting to pull the ball, Like that's a good sign,

722
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: Like he's starting to he's starting to warm up a

723
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: little bit. And even his misses, they're like, we can

724
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: tell it's just a timing thing of just like getting

725
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: his legs back under him. Could he be a possible

726
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: two hitter? I don't see why not, right, I don't

727
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: even say this.

728
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: Pete is obsessed with hitting four, Mick Lindor two and

729
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 2: JT three zero, and sure JD definitely is heating up.

730
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: That miss home run Friday just killed me. It made

731
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 2: me so mad because Rysall Aglacy's going out there with

732
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,239
Speaker 2: nothing right now. He is dying in front of our

733
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 2: eyes as a pitcher. I think he has like a

734
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: thirteen percent strike out rate this year, which is warmingly low.

735
00:27:59,600 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

736
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 2: Crazy, He's falling off, like falling off the cliff very quickly.

737
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: And he luckily broke up that no hitter with the

738
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: home run on Saturday. Because if I was sat there

739
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: for a brave SnO hither, I would I don't think

740
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: I everyone have gone back to city fields like hunger strike,

741
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 2: full hunger shrike. I'm not eating too and that's get

742
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: to actually get a hit. But the four hardested balls

743
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: for Jamie Martinez all season all came on Friday and Saturday,

744
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 2: and that does not include the home run foul ball

745
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: because it wasn't count the exit of Vossi readings on savonstarch.

746
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: So it's very clear coming around two more hard hit

747
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: balls on Sunday. So it just happening, like I think, now,

748
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: that's that's one. Aother one we got a little premature

749
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: about last time. Sometimes, yeah, we get a little we

750
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: get a little obsessed with the small samples while knowing

751
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: in the back of our heads have the small samples

752
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 2: don't mean very much. But yeah, j D seems fine,

753
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: And just this lineup isn't good enough right now.

754
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: For him to be hitting fifth.

755
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: It's just not there's too many guys that he should

756
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: be hitting ahead of him. There's too many guys that

757
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: he should be getting at baths instead of to be

758
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: hitting fifth.

759
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: But sorry, Marte five like him in the five. I

760
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: think that'd be awesome. I've been saying that. I think

761
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: it's perfect.

762
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: Just move everyone up and then look and then Pete

763
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: if Pete again, Pete's obsessed with four on peele Lon's

764
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: wife to take clue, Nop, that's fine, you could hit

765
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: four like JJ Martinz hit three.

766
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: You got anything else to talk about the games? Because

767
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: I could, I could parlay that or segue that Peter

768
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: Alonzo being obsessed with hitting four into a little bit

769
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: of media marvels here.

770
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: I got one housekeeping thinking, my dad a great idea tonight.

771
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: My dad was really really right, hit us, hit us

772
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: when I want If I was dropped that butt, he

773
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: was like, is this guy kidding me? Which was just

774
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: we try to drop a drag, but to get a hit.

775
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: But just panning around the stadium like this is a

776
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: big game against the Braves.

777
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: It's May.

778
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: It's like not even that early in season anymore. And

779
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: city feels completely empty on a Sunday night. Oh yeah,

780
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: And we know the big reason for that is because

781
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: it's just really hard A lot of fans come from

782
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: New Jersey to the games, us knowing that especially, and

783
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: it's just really hard to get a train back from

784
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: New Jersey in a Sunday night city field. It's just

785
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: paying the ass, it really is. That's famously why the

786
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: Mets didn't sell out a playoff game a few years

787
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 2: ago on a Sunday night.

788
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: It's just it's bad.

789
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 2: He's like, they should mention that promotions for these night

790
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: games on the weekend because they know how hard these

791
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: people get back and forth New Jersey. It should slash

792
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: the parking forty dollars to park. It's miserable.

793
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: It kills people wanting to go to these games. You

794
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: are so right. Here is the one problem. I don't

795
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: think the Mets dictate the parking price. I'm pretty sure

796
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: it is dictated by the city. And that is city

797
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: because it is city property that parking lot for the

798
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: New York Mes.

799
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: When you're saying city and then an I or a

800
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: why a why New York City Eric Adams, So he's

801
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: Eric and setting the parking I think Eric Adams is

802
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: setting the parking here. I don't know if that information

803
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: is one hundred percent correct of whether or not he's

804
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: really involved, but I'm ninety percent sure that the parking

805
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: prices are set by the city. That's why the Marina

806
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: parking is also the same price. I was thinking the

807
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: Mets are allowed to use that parking space, but the

808
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: city owns that, so I think that's where they come

809
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: up with the pricing. Forty dollars is insane.

810
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: You can buy a ticket into the game for significantly

811
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: less than it costs a park and that is a

812
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: major major problem with this with the entire thing going

813
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: on at City Field. Not even a ticket you can

814
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: send in the field level for forty dollars. Yeah, season

815
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: ticket today, it's very cheap to get into Mets games.

816
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: It's great. The only problem is parking.

817
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: And it's just if you don't come from New York

818
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: City or like most parts of Long Island, it's really

819
00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: hard to get there in a night game, like.

820
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: The fucking seven stinks right now.

821
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: You know Express is the fake is Express ever, and

822
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: it's just everyone knows that forever. To get in and

823
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: out of these parking lots is literally hell on Earth.

824
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 2: My parents missed the first few winnings of the game

825
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: because traffic and then're getting into that parking lot. So

826
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: it's just, I don't know, I just I wish I

827
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: think this thing is these things will get better in

828
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: the next few years as the coins just keep taking

829
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: over all the land around City Field, which is right now,

830
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: It's just it's such a push and pull, and I

831
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: feel like attendance has to be down for this reason.

832
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, think about it. If you are someone

833
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: who wants to come to a game, let's just say

834
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: twenty dollars for a ticket, right, that's not absurd at all.

835
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: That's super affordable. Twenty dollars to get into the game.

836
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: But you want to park, Let's say you're not coming

837
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: from New York City and driving. Oh, you got to

838
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: pay the twenty five dollars toll that it is to

839
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: whatever get in there. Twenty five dollars a toll. So

840
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: now you're up to sixty five dollars before you even

841
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: step foot in the stadium. Plus the ticket, you're up

842
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: to eighty five dollars. You want to get a beer,

843
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: eighteen dollars, fifteen dollars, whatever is. You want to get

844
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: a hot dog, it's now eight dollars for a hot dog.

845
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: You want to get a Pushtrami sandwich, it's eighteen dollars.

846
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: I understand you gotta make money. And I'm like, I'm

847
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: not against capitalism here of like, hey, you kind of

848
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: can't market I kind of can't go anywhere else. So

849
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: make sure you spend all your money in here. But

850
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's pretty unaffordable to go to

851
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: one of these games unless you live in New York City.

852
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again like that's why the way that we

853
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: do it's kind of hilarious, especially me, because I'm taking

854
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: the train to City Field. I'm paying two ninety five

855
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: for that. Usually I'm bringing a tupperway into the game.

856
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm eating keen one grilled chicken, So I'm like, I'm

857
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: not paying for food. I'll buy my one beer and

858
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: I'll have a great time. I'll do the same thing

859
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: going home. So it's like, okay, and we buy the

860
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: cheapest ticket in there, and then we walk down to

861
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: the field level. So we do the games for like

862
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: twenty bucks a pop, and it's amazing. But not everyone

863
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: has the opportunity to do that, and that sucks. I

864
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: being in City Fields awesome. I love I love supporting

865
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: the Mets, I love going to games. It's just not

866
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: everyone has the opportunities. And at that part, that part

867
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: was kind of frustrating for me.

868
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta figure something out. But luckily not. Our problem.

869
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: Our problem is talking about this team. Our problem is

870
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: worrying about this team in the future of this team.

871
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: And we bring us some media marvels here where old

872
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: Joel Joel Sherman casually on MLB now unbelievably just drop

873
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: that the Mets offered Pete Alonzo seven years one hundred

874
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: and fifty eight million dollars this offseason, not mentioned in

875
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: a single article. This guy's this guy writes for a living,

876
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: he talks on TV on the network for a living.

877
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: And somehow it wasn't until May eleventh or May tenth,

878
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: whatever day it was that he mentioned that there was

879
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: a contract offer to Peede Alonzo this offseason that was

880
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: turned down. And it was Friday afternoon, like Joel Sherman

881
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: has the biggest scoop of the year, and he did

882
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: in a Friday news drop. And I think Mark's gonna

883
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: pipe in the audio.

884
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: For you guys right here so you can hear exactly

885
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: what Joel said. But just incredible.

886
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 3: I'll say this, the Mets offered him seven years at

887
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty eight million dollars to going to

888
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: his walk here that was between it. He didn't go

889
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: to Scott Boris to get one hundred fifty eight million dollars.

890
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: He wants to be more like Aaron Judge the home

891
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: grown power hitter, et cetera. I will say this. I

892
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 3: think if David Stearns were sitting there and you had

893
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: your govel and forced him to tell the truth, what

894
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 3: he would say is that they would have traded him

895
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: this off season. But David Stearns didn't want to start

896
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: his administration by trading this popular player. He the Mookie

897
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 3: Betts thing.

898
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: Would him blow him up in Boston.

899
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: He knows that he could get probably as much in

900
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: July if they're not in it. If they are in it,

901
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 3: he just runs out the clock with him. The Mets

902
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 3: go one second round draft choice and they're done with it.

903
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 3: You know, maybe or maybe he comes back because he

904
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 3: doesn't get the market.

905
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: So that's seven for one to fifty eight that Joel

906
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: said a lot of insane things that Joel said, we're

907
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: gonna tear through because he's his weak medium marvels, but

908
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna do this stuff first. That's like the matter

909
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 2: of fact logic on top the seven year, one hundred

910
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: and fifty eight million dollar offer. That is an astoundingly fair,

911
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: incredibly such a good offer, such a good offer for

912
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: both sides, such a win win. I hate to say this,

913
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: because I'm not pushing any negativity towards Pete.

914
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: He's he's been pulling the ball. He's back, but fuck,

915
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to not make Mets fans mad when you

916
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: hear that. He declined that it's definitely mostly Boris, it

917
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: has to be.

918
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: Mostly his agent, and Joel alluded to it in that

919
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: segment there where he's like, you know, Pete wants to

920
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 2: be like the air in Judge, the homegrown power hitter

921
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: who gets two hundred three hundred million dollars.

922
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: Pete does not Aaron Judge, never will be. And what

923
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: you just said is true. Saturday, people in the ballpark

924
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: turning on Pete a little bit. I heard a lot

925
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: of chance down the field level and a couple of

926
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: you guys were there. You might have heard them too,

927
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: where there was this one very angry fan who was

928
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: sitting like seven rows in front of the Scots, like

929
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: right in front of the wise and girlfriend's family section.

930
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: He was saying, Pete, hundred and fifty million is not

931
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: good enough for you, you bum fucking two seventeen you hit,

932
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: you want two hundred millions. So just it's class and mean. Again,

933
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: it is New York hate that you play in New York.

934
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: This is what you get.

935
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: We're passionate, we're good, passionate, we're bad. You always gonna

936
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 2: feel the passion. But it's just something like that being

937
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: dropped out as Pete Alonzo was slumping.

938
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: It's almost interesting.

939
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: It's very interesting the timing of that, and it's a

940
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: little bit of the fear with Pete in the offseason

941
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 2: training him. As Joel Sherman said, is that David Sturts

942
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 2: didn't want to walk in like Heim Bloom, and the

943
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: first thing he did was trade the Homegroun star because

944
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: he did think you were going to resign him again.

945
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: And that thing he complete Stearns to Bloom and then

946
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: Pete to Mookie Betts, which, which is untruey bets the

947
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 2: generational baseball players. So he's going to be a first

948
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: Battle Hall of Famer. He's one of the best players

949
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: any of us are gonna see in our lives. Yeah,

950
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 2: not fair comparison, it's not true. But also, as a

951
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 2: team doesn't play very well, as Pete doesn't play very well,

952
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: there's a chance that again we fall out of a

953
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 2: playoff race in the next few months and le Sjoe

954
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: Sherman said, now you can trade pe Alonzo and maybe

955
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: the world isn't as mad at David Stearns just something.

956
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, I mean, it was interesting seeing that.

957
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't believe he said that.

958
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: Literally could not believe that that was just dropped in

959
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: on MLB now on a Friday afternoon and we're talking

960
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: about like, I mean, we did an entire video on

961
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 2: the YouTube channel about Pete Alonso offseason for the Mets trade,

962
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: and we're always of the mindset of, no, they shouldn't

963
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 2: play the season out see how it goes.

964
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: He's a good baseball player. One Pete's not getting I don't.

965
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets a better offer than that,

966
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: if he can to play the way he is currently

967
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: right now, I don't. I don't even know if the

968
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: Mets give him that offer again, Mets might drop that

969
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: offer down to one forty at that point, like twenty

970
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: million ars should it taken it take two years off

971
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: two That puts them right in between Freddie Freeman and

972
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: Matt Olsen right in terms of aav and relatively speaking,

973
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: that's a pretty generous place to put Pete in terms

974
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: of money per year. And they gave him the seventh year,

975
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: which I think would be the most that any first

976
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: baseman has gotten in a contract a long time.

977
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 2: Maybe outside of yeah, I think that is. I think

978
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: since so it's like this is where yeah, yeah, this

979
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: is where Scott Bors sucks, because I think, if I mean,

980
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: I'd hope that this is Scott Boris getting inside of

981
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: Pete's head and being like, well, we're gonna get you more.

982
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: The Angels are gonna pay you three hundred million dollars.

983
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm like, man, I don't,

984
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good deal. I don't. I'm I'm torn

985
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: because I'm not mad at Pete. I have no ill

986
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: will towards him for saying, no, get your money, get

987
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: your bag. But fuck, what do you want? Man? Like,

988
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: what are you looking for? Really? And how can you

989
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: believe you deserve that? You can believe you.

990
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: Deserve it because p the Lonzo Scott Boris are like,

991
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 2: no one has more home runs and no one has

992
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 2: more of b.

993
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: I since you step foot in cityfield, and that's the truth.

994
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: That is the truth.

995
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: Those are unquestioned and undeniable facts. And maybe that's again

996
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: we're connecting to me dots year. This is this is

997
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 2: this is messed up, whacky hours. This is a Pepe silvia,

998
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: like maybe that's why Pea keeps demanding he is for

999
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: it's it's just more opportunities for spots. So you can

1000
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: bring that to the negotiation. Probably not I'm sure, or

1001
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,959
Speaker 2: not maybe in arbitration, because I do bring down arbitration, I.

1002
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: Know, but there's just this, It just seemed fair.

1003
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 2: And then you also have to look around the league

1004
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: and you have to wonder if some baseball players ever

1005
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 2: get part of my French tire of the Scott Bors

1006
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: is bullshit where he's still the best Asian league. He

1007
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: will always hold out to get you the most money possible.

1008
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: But now this year you're like, right now, you look

1009
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: at Blake Snell, who for the last since May of

1010
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two was the best picture on earth. He

1011
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 2: was completely unhittable for one a one full year mine

1012
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: two full years minus a month and a half, and

1013
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: then Scott Bors dragged him through the whole offseason. He

1014
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 2: didn't have a spring training. Then he sucks and he

1015
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: gets hurt. And now it's like, I understand he got

1016
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: you can't opt out almost I know that's what I mean.

1017
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 2: But it's like it's like, ah, like the way this

1018
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: baseball calendar works, it wasn't dumb by accident. It's like

1019
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: you go, you get, you get with your team, you

1020
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: get the spring training, you work out for two a

1021
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, you play games for four weeks, and

1022
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: then you start your season like this is f that's

1023
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: what you do. It's been that way since the beginning

1024
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 2: of time, since I think it's branch Rickey really popularized

1025
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 2: spring training with the Dodgers and like the fifties, being

1026
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: like these guys are these guys are out of shape

1027
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: and they are they're filled with alcohol. We have to

1028
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: make them sweat this out for a few months in Florida.

1029
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: But it's just like if this, if this keeps squeaking

1030
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 2: and we're going so far ahead right now, it's just

1031
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: this could be one of those contracts, especially with this

1032
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 2: offer leaking out, that really might people make people look

1033
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: at bors differently, like in terms of baseball players, but

1034
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: his clients like not fans. Because I was having a

1035
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: conversation again, my parents got stuck until like the third

1036
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: or fourth inning, so I was having a conversation with

1037
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 2: the guy next His name is Larry.

1038
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: He was just like that. He was like that agent man.

1039
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: That age is bad news. He always was.

1040
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: I knew the second P went with him was bad news.

1041
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: And it's just that was he the security guard. No,

1042
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: I was talking to those Scurarity gard Maybe Larry was

1043
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: security guard cause I was talking to those security guards

1044
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: Section fifteen for a while.

1045
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: I was waiting for Worthy to come meet me. Those

1046
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: guys are dope. I was wearing my Rangers jersey. We

1047
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: were talking hockey.

1048
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 2: When I left, I got the hey, nice talking to

1049
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 2: you see around the par from this, Yeah, he was

1050
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 2: the man.

1051
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: Superris came over. Dat me up.

1052
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 2: I was like nice, these guys are great, but left

1053
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: frantizing down there. It's just a weird situation with Pete,

1054
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna get a lot weirder.

1055
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: I wish this never came out. Fuck you, Joel Sherman.

1056
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: I wish this never came out.

1057
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 2: It may Twitter get so blazing and everyone started running

1058
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: with the story. Then people like Joe Sherman said it,

1059
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: but like, where's it written? It's like no, he literally

1060
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: said that loud, and Ron Darling was on that booth

1061
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: with him and he was just like, oh yeah, man.

1062
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: See again, I think that was a fair offer and

1063
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: know much peat meat to the Mets, how much Pete

1064
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 2: means in the city because he kind of I feel

1065
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: like when Ron does a lot of these other networks

1066
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 2: and games, like, he can't be as open about this

1067
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: Met stuff just because of the SMI situation, just because

1068
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: he works for them, the contract and everything. So I

1069
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 2: think it was just like a shocking moment, Like I

1070
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 2: don't think him or Costas were ready for Joe Sherman

1071
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 2: to drop that nugget. And again like where Joe Sherman

1072
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: has a lot of connectionallys been his industry a long time.

1073
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: It's so weird that that's the moment that he says

1074
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: that and how he says it around trade discussions for

1075
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: Pete A Lonzo super super interesting.

1076
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: Also mentioned too that Stearns and the Mets kind of

1077
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: know that they would get the same value for Pea

1078
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: in the offseason as they would at the trade deadline,

1079
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: not gonna change anything in terms of what they get

1080
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: back for him, and goes back to the don't want

1081
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: to be hind bloom hem Bloom was dead man walking

1082
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: day one. He walked, It didn't matter. He brought that

1083
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: team to the playoffs, and they didn't deserve to be there.

1084
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: It was bad baseball NLCS. Yeah, bad baseball teams and

1085
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 1: people were like, we had a bad season. Fuck this guy,

1086
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: send them to the moon.

1087
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: Like again, that was also a situation where but that's

1088
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: the beauty of having the Cohens right now instead of

1089
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 2: the Henry's the Henrys to care about everything except baseball

1090
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: this day in a Liverpool yeah and whle the Cohens

1091
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: again are doing a lot outside of baseball. The fact

1092
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: that he wasn't an ultimatum like you have to trade

1093
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: this superstar right now because we refuse to pay him

1094
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 2: even though we are richer than and almost every single

1095
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: person who's ever walked on the earth to shout out

1096
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 2: the Henry for getting rid of the generational player rest

1097
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: Sox fans serve a lot better. It's just so fucking weird.

1098
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: We're connecting Dots, Pepe, Silvia, Charlie and the mail room

1099
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: right now. I just I hate that this is now

1100
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: becoming a discussion again in May about Plano trade rumors

1101
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: because the team.

1102
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: Is He started to swing the bat well again to

1103
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: maybe to them, because the second this has happened, he

1104
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: was right back but now because it was the off day.

1105
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: When it was the off day, he was off day,

1106
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: Like Mark said, but I wish that we could just

1107
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: keep the conversations for this Mets team on the field

1108
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: and not how to talk about p Alonzo trade discussions

1109
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 2: on May tenth when this story drops.

1110
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: Because it's yeah, and again crazy because if you wrote

1111
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: an article, it's for the clicks. He just said it

1112
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: on TV and there's no ratings boom for that. There's nothing.

1113
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: It just was a tweet that wound up moving all

1114
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: the way around Twitter because people are like, this is

1115
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: and now again it turns the tides against pe Alonzo

1116
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 2: from the fans a little bit, turns down one hundred

1117
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: and fifty million.

1118
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: He's batt in two seventeen.

1119
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 2: Like that sticks in your head a little bit, and

1120
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, Maybe I just don't know.

1121
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I don't want to keep speculating

1122
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: on it. But I think it's a fun thought exercise,

1123
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: and we still love Pete. I'll be honest, Yes, I

1124
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: would off ferm that exact same contract right now.

1125
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: I would, Yes, I super would. If you signed, I'd

1126
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: be really happy about it. We'll probably are worrying about

1127
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: thirty five year old Pilanzo. But I also I don't

1128
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: care about thirty five real plans right now, I truly don't.

1129
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: We'll be like thirty four. So he got that different.

1130
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: Not really my problem right now in my twenties.

1131
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: So to worry about other things, I guess I don't

1132
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 2: even know about thirty four. But CHALTI troll Sherman this

1133
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 2: week's media marvel. Yes, we also have some other things

1134
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: just going on, some housekeeping before we preview the Philly series.

1135
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 2: Ballely Sports complained about balls and strikes again, which is

1136
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 2: just so fucking loser ish. They tweeted multiple times on

1137
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: Saturday the Christian Scock game because again he Ronald Queeney

1138
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: Junior got punched out for pitch. I was like an

1139
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: inch and a half off the plate. That's fine, Maybe

1140
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: don't act like an asshole in the baseball field.

1141
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: The umpire who's won't punch you out?

1142
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: And I'm kidding, I'm joking, but Accuni getting picked off

1143
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 2: twice on Sunday was all sunking perfect. And for him

1144
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 2: to get picked off by like a step in a

1145
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 2: half and demand the challenge to stay on after your face,

1146
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: like they said, you got thrown out, You got thrown

1147
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,479
Speaker 2: out by two seconds. Do get off the base getting

1148
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: picked off twice, And it also made it true that

1149
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 2: the Mets have significantly more pickoffs this year than stolen

1150
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 2: base run cost you. I think it's one versus four,

1151
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: which is at the same way encouraging and embarrassing. Yeah, no,

1152
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: it's uh Sebario does do a good job holding guys

1153
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: on like a very quick first base. But it was

1154
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: nice to get a kuniya on the basis today. I

1155
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 2: saw when they dropped like the line he was plus

1156
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: one thirty five deal a bassem like he gets on

1157
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: basis stealing three. I don't know how he's gonna do it,

1158
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: but he's gonna steal him like there's no way he doesn't.

1159
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: I think also we.

1160
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: Would be remissed we talked about the series we have

1161
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: to go back to. It's just the fact that Zach

1162
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 2: Short got walked twice, score two runs and stole such

1163
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: a big bass off of Adam Alavina, whos so close

1164
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 2: to the plate. Frad Molavia not to throw Zach Short

1165
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: through a three ball fastball, I can't beat it. You

1166
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 2: were training on your team, you know how you know

1167
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 2: he can't hit, Just throw him a pitch and then

1168
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: he steals the base so easily. At the time he's

1169
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: gonna score the winning run. He scored the go ahead

1170
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 2: run twice in this game. Literally, thank god that Brandon

1171
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 2: Nemo did this because the last thing I want to

1172
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 2: say for the media, Marvel, everyone's really started coming around

1173
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: to Marcelo Zuna again.

1174
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: N l RBI leither.

1175
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 2: ESPN flashes stat quickest player in Braves history to for

1176
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 2: the RBIs and seasons since Hank Aaron. My dad said,

1177
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 2: you have to be kidding me.

1178
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: This guy.

1179
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: They're comparing this guy to the great Henry Aaron. This

1180
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 2: is ridiculous. This is that work should be ashamed of themselves.

1181
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: And they had announced Ozuna as if the game holds

1182
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 2: true as the postgame interview. Thank god Brandon Nemo save

1183
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 2: that and on mothers on Mother's Day as we're honored,

1184
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: as we honor women. For the entire broadcast to then

1185
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 2: put marcel A Zuna on the screen with have been

1186
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: a slap in the face to literally everybody watching.

1187
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 1: Wait, did you catch this? When he was talking to

1188
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: the woman on Sports Center, she was like oogly, she

1189
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: was like talking, she was like all like Starry, I

1190
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: like the most. She was getting the little iddy the

1191
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: most ed shoutout all the moms, especially mine, which that's

1192
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: true for everyone. I'll wind up Wilma. Was that what

1193
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:22,479
Speaker 1: they called his mom?

1194
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: No, it was the way she pitched him. Was Yoma, Yeah,

1195
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: that was shadow. Brandon had a great game obviously, walk off,

1196
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: home run.

1197
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: Beast, some other things. Code I said Sega had a

1198
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: weird setback that we kind of have no information on,

1199
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: which is a little terrifying, and them just calling it

1200
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: as him being very meticulous about his his comeback. I

1201
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: can buy it. Feels maybe like a Japanese stereotype, but

1202
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: I can buy it. I'm also terrified. It feels weird

1203
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: to me that it was reported on Friday and then

1204
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday.

1205
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: Tocomo doubled down on it. Another conversation with Mendoza, whe

1206
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: like he's not throwing the batteries anymore, even though he's

1207
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: throwing to them for the last week and a half,

1208
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: but this is not a setback.

1209
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: He just really wants to make sure his mechanics are perfect,

1210
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: which I again, I do want that to be true,

1211
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: but also just to way because this was the first

1212
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: time in.

1213
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: An interviews whole years. This is also Friday afternoon. This

1214
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: was right around the time that the Loonzo rumor started blazing.

1215
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 2: Around first time that I think that Mendozo wasn't like

1216
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 2: super contrite with the media the first time. I didn't

1217
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 2: feel like that lightning bolt of honesty coming from him,

1218
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: and that part of it made me nervous. Also, just

1219
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 2: the fact that the code has kind of been quiet

1220
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: and we're probably like probably should be around the time

1221
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: where if he was thrown to batteries for a week

1222
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 2: and a half for rehabit, timon to be starving, So

1223
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 2: that being delayed is what makes me think it's a

1224
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: little strange.

1225
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: A little scary, a little scary. We also got a

1226
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: little update on Brooks Rayley, who's probably out for the year,

1227
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: which sucks for a multitude of reasons. One because he's

1228
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: one of the best left handed relievers in the game.

1229
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: We absolutely love him. He's a stud. Two, can't trade

1230
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: him at the deadline, and we know that he would

1231
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: have been a really nice piece to trade. The deadline,

1232
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: we got friggin great prospects for Tommy fam and David

1233
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: Robertson Brooks Raley, high leverage left handed reliever who nobody

1234
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: hits hard, probably would have gotten us a nice little

1235
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: chunk back. Yeah, it does suck, really sucks. And then

1236
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: another thing, much better thing, Brandon Spote Ryan Clifford getting

1237
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: the call up from Brooklyn to Binghamton sucks that we

1238
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: missed him in Brooklyn because of a little behind the

1239
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:11,959
Speaker 1: scenes where were I don't think we're gonna be allowed

1240
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: to interview players at Binghamton, so that we've been bored. Yeah,

1241
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: that's a tough one for Mark and I. We're gonna

1242
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: try and find a way to get some minor league

1243
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: interviews for you guys, like we have done. The told no. Yeah,

1244
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: so you guys know out there we asked, we were

1245
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: told no. The team does not want players speaking to

1246
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: the media at this time. Those players speaking to the media,

1247
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: those players, Yeah, which is funny because I was not

1248
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: considered media when I asked for a media pass. But yeah,

1249
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: that's all right. What happens, that happens.

1250
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: But again, this is huge for Sprote, a guy that

1251
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 2: didn't pitch professional inning before five weeks ago, and now

1252
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 2: he's already going to be pitching and objectively the strongest

1253
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 2: level of the minor league. So if he if he

1254
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: has a few good starts in Double A, like it's

1255
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 2: suddenly pretty on, Like he's suddenly a guy who I

1256
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 2: don't I don't think he would debut this year, but

1257
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: it starts to become a situation where there's like a

1258
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 2: ten percent chance.

1259
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: We kind of like how everyone was yelling with Mike

1260
00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: Vassal last year, like call him up, call him up.

1261
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: You're you'll get those conversations going at least when jose

1262
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: Kintana gets his tits lip in July.

1263
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 2: But it's different between Vassal and Sproke because if you

1264
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 2: guys realize we've gone through like what ten of these

1265
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: prospect of ports, now we have any mentioned Mike Vassal's name,

1266
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 2: because he's a guy who's not pitching very well Triple A,

1267
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: and I think a reason for that Fascil is more

1268
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: of a control over stuff guy abs a Triple A

1269
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 2: automatic balls and strikes is kind of just screwing up

1270
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 2: that league to a degree where it's not that consistent.

1271
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: Some starts to have his, some starts don't, and a

1272
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: guy like Vassal, he's gonna be much more of a

1273
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 2: field pitcher, so he kind of needs to have that

1274
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 2: feel where Sprot is the toughest. Sprot is gonna look

1275
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 2: at you and just put it in your mouth because

1276
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 2: he's throwing out one hundred mile an hour fast balls

1277
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 2: with wick curve balls, change ups, he has every single weapon,

1278
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 2: so he's even a guy again if the Mets are

1279
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: actually in this thing. He comes up in September in August,

1280
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 2: he's throwing a hundred one miles now at the bullpen,

1281
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: like he breaks one hundred mile an hour streak. So

1282
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 2: just him pitching in Double A. He probably gets to

1283
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 2: the Arizona Fall League this year too, which is a

1284
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 2: really cool thing for him because that means he's also

1285
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: approaching major league readiness as long as everything goes well

1286
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: Double A. And also our boy Ryan Clifford four to

1287
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: fifty on base percentage Brooklyn, and he finally got out

1288
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 2: of there. Now he gets to actually hit the baseball

1289
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 2: in Dinghumte, which I'm really excited about.

1290
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can actually like do a prospect report on

1291
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: him that's not just about his discipline. We could be like,

1292
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, I got three home runs this week

1293
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: because he's not hitting it to the fucking ocean, like

1294
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna be nice to be able to talk about him.

1295
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: Last thing I want to bring up here is Baseball

1296
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: Savant dropped new stats today on their website that tracking

1297
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: leader board, so it tells you things like average bat speed,

1298
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: fast swing rate. They then added two new ones called

1299
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: squared up and blasts, which I don't know if you've

1300
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: done any research into these, James, but super super cool

1301
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: stuff here. So you can now see who swings the

1302
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: hardest on the Mets, who has the slowest swing, who

1303
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: makes the best contact when they're technically like But I'll

1304
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: explain squored up in a second. It's more intricate than that.

1305
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: But James fast swing on the Mets. Do you know

1306
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: who it is already? I think it's definitely Pete Pete

1307
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: Who's number two? I saw it was Marte Francisco Alvarez

1308
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: tech number two.

1309
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: I miss slowest swing was the slowest swing McNeil Omar

1310
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 2: Nerva is overwhelming.

1311
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: I didn't even count him, that makes sense, But Jeff

1312
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: mcdeal's number two. Tomas Nito is bunched in with Tyrone

1313
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: Taylor and Harrison Bader. Another cool thing. It tells you

1314
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 1: swing length. Thomas Nito has one of the longest swings

1315
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: in Baseball eight feet.

1316
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: It was cool too because you see a guy like

1317
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: Brett Bay who he still want to support him because

1318
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 2: I think it could be a really good power hitter

1319
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: in this league. And his bat speed was in between

1320
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 2: Ketel Marte and Bryce Hartbrook. It's a really good place

1321
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: to be.

1322
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: But this is cool.

1323
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 2: We'll definitely get through this really deeply. It was just

1324
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 2: it came out this evening and we're getting this episode out,

1325
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 2: but there's gonna be a time in the next next

1326
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 2: few weeks we'll probably really dig deep through this and

1327
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 2: talk to you guys and stuff about it because now

1328
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 2: all the statt sticians are going through it and they're

1329
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 2: seeing which of these stats are actually gonna be the

1330
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 2: most important because we didn't really know yet. But it's

1331
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: just cool look at bat speed and be like, oh yeah,

1332
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 2: Carlos Stanton, Ronalcuna Oneil Cruz, like Christopher Morele, Aaron Judge,

1333
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 2: I feel like those guys have the fastest bats speed

1334
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: in the league.

1335
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: Oh totally yeah. And the squared up rates really cool

1336
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: because that's one thing I wanted to highlight because it'll

1337
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: just give more context. So the way they're counting squared

1338
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 1: up rate based on these new swing statistics that they

1339
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: have is where it's it's basically talking about Uh, They've

1340
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: been able to coutlate the max exit VELLO that a

1341
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: person can have based on their swing speed and the

1342
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: speed of the pitch. So I've been able to determine

1343
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: a max exit VLO of that ball. It's squared up

1344
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: if you're within eighty percent of what or if you're

1345
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: eighty percent or better of what is the optimal exit

1346
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: villa on a baseball. So an example was Trevor Larnick

1347
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: seventy five mile an hour swing off a ninety eight

1348
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 1: point eight mile per hour pitch. The possible max exit

1349
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: villa was one thirteen. He hit it one ten. That's

1350
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: ninety seven percent squared up. So that's also a new

1351
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: stat that I'm going to get super into, along with blasts,

1352
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: which is not as in depth yet. But these are

1353
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: all things that will help us answer who's actually good

1354
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: and who is it or guys that maybe are due

1355
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: to be good, guys that are starting to heat up,

1356
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: and guys.

1357
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 2: Who are on cold streaks to worry about, and guys

1358
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 2: who are on cold striaks we don't have to worry about.

1359
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: And that's having more informations always a very cool thing.

1360
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 2: Definitely tell everyone to go like pin around these leader

1361
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 2: boys because there's definitely just super cool nuggets information. Yeah,

1362
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 2: and shout out Mike petre All and Tom Tango who

1363
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 2: do all the data for Baseball Savon because it's every

1364
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 2: every single day this website gets cooler and cooler and

1365
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 2: they even have the sliders already on player pages for

1366
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 2: mass speed.

1367
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: Yep, it's really cool. Yeah, which is fantastic. Now onto

1368
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies series preview. A little bit of an

1369

00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 2: loud because he's editing that, and that's him putting the

1380
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: pressure on himself to make sure it's out for Wednesday.

1381
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: Yes, I will, I'll get it done.

1382
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 2: I'm back with this, but pitching matchups this Philly series.

1383
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 2: This is gonna be the first time, as you guys know,

1384
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: So we're playing the Phillies this year, so hottest team

1385
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 2: in basic shout out Major League Baseball for the scheduling

1386
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 2: because they are probably our biggest or second biggest rival

1387
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: in the league, and we're not playing them until May thirteenth,

1388
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 2: and we're doing these two games at home, these two

1389
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 2: games on the road because as you guys know, I'm

1390
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 2: sure mats of going to London to play the Phillies

1391
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks. And these each one of

1392
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 2: those games is technically one home game for each of

1393
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 2: our teams. So that's the technically making this like these two,

1394
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 2: these two and two with those two, that's two three

1395
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 2: game series. So we're playing the Phillies a lot really

1396
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 2: quickly right now, and then after that London series next month.

1397
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 2: You guys all, when I do this, my schedule hate

1398
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 2: every almost every single hour. We do not play the

1399
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: Phillies again after June ninth until September thirteenth, w and

1400
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 2: then we play the Phillies seven times in eleven days.

1401
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 2: That's I mean words I can't say on the podcast

1402
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 2: and one of the series. Actually, again, if things are

1403
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 2: hot at the end of the year, this could be

1404
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 2: like the quintessential series of City Field this season, hopefully,

1405
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 2: unless again we fall out of the playoff race. Because

1406
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 2: it's a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday four game series at

1407
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 2: home against the Phillies.

1408
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: Devil's Advocate, you hate not playing the Phillies early? Do

1409
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: you love playing them late? Because it could mean a lot,

1410
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I do.

1411
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 2: I like that more by all. I wish that we

1412
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 2: could just play them more because their our rival and

1413
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 2: I like playing our rivals. But we're going to play

1414
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 2: the Phillies. I think they still haven't played the team

1415
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 2: over five hundred yet they still won't be. Yeah, they

1416
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 2: still won't be semester now over five hundred. So yeah,

1417
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: shout out the Phillies for this. But pitching matchups seaum

1418
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 2: and I versus Christopher Sanchez on Monday night, I'm gonna

1419
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 2: be intended for that one Tuesday afternoon with some rain

1420
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: on the schedule, so we'll see. We have an ace

1421
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 2: off Jose Budo versus Aaron Nola. We know Nola loves

1422
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 2: to pitch his best games in city Field. And then

1423
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 2: Wednesday in Citizens Bank Park, Jose Katana versus Ranger Suarez

1424
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 2: kind of what real as off, what someone thinks he

1425
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 2: is and what's someone hit?

1426
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: What this could actually be?

1427
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,760
Speaker 2: And then Thursday half of an ace off Christian Scott

1428
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 2: versus Taiwan Walker old friend.

1429
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, we're gonna see Taiwan. So we're missing Zach Wheeler.

1430
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 2: We're thankully missing zachq Wuilli. He pitched on Sunday against

1431
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 2: the Marleans has worst start of the season. So shout

1432
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 2: out the Master that that's a good scheduling quork for

1433
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 2: us a four game series missing the best pitcher on

1434
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 2: the team. Yeah, I mean the Phillies are playing really

1435
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 2: good baseball. They're twenty eight and twelve.

1436
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: I know, we made the joke about they haven't played

1437
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: a team over five hundred since March thirty. First, they're

1438
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: beating the teams they have to play. As much as

1439
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: I would love to rag on the Philly because that's

1440
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: kind of my thing, garbage city, garbage people. They're a

1441
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: good team and we know and part of the big

1442
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,479
Speaker 1: reason is my favorite player at third base. Alec Boum

1443
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: has become one of the best hitters in baseball this season. Now.

1444
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: Granted he's doing things that he's never done before, like

1445
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,959
Speaker 1: hitting the ball hard and hitting it in the air,

1446
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: and walking and being patient at the plate, like doing

1447
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: these things that changed him as a hitter. But he

1448
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: might be really good now. And that's a little concerning.

1449
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: I think he's very good now.

1450
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 2: And this is the kind of thing that we preach

1451
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 2: with Brett Baby, where it's like this guy was a

1452
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 2: very high draft pick, he was a very good prospect.

1453
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 2: He always he always did things that were really good

1454
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 2: to do. Like the whole thing with Bom was always

1455
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 2: the back control was sensational, like he would never have

1456
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 2: it bad at bad because he wasn't swinging and missing,

1457
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: he wasn't chasing very much. He was always trying to

1458
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 2: put the ball where they weren't. And now he's just

1459
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 2: he turned twenty seven years old, he has four years

1460
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 2: of major league experience. He settled in, he's very comfortable,

1461
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 2: he has confidence, team has confidence in him, and he's

1462
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 2: been one of the best hitters in baseball for six

1463
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 2: weeks of the season. Unquestionable, so close to that dude

1464
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 2: being dead so close he said, Fuck Philly, I hate

1465
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 2: playing here or whatever it was.

1466
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate this place. And now he's just one

1467
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: of the better hitters. J T. Ro Muto's hitting really well.

1468
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper's hitting really well. That loser Bryson Stots hitting

1469
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: really well. Brandon Marsh has cooled off a little bit,

1470
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: and now they're more platuning him with Johann Rojas because

1471
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: why not. Johann Rojas has been hot as well. The Castillanos.

1472
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: The silence is there for a reason. Oh he's been

1473
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: hot recently. Wow, and these are what his numbers are?

1474
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: Still three home runs I think his last five games.

1475
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:28,919
Speaker 1: I want to say so and no comment. Everyone checking,

1476
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: everyone check any left ones. But yeah, I want to

1477
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: talk about that as if you ever know, I just

1478
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: got it. I that uh the thing I want to

1479
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: talk about the Phillies. You just talk about the hitting.

1480
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 2: And again, like every hitter you named, I think like

1481
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 2: seven of them are first round picks, Like these are

1482
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 2: all yeah, good prospects. Phillies had like nine years of

1483
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 2: being one of the worst teams in baseball. Now it's

1484
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 2: all coming to fruition as they spend money, trade Turners

1485
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 2: on the Ils. We're missing him. But the thing that's

1486
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 2: made this Phillies team so good this year is there

1487
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 2: starting pitching. They right now pretty unquestionably have the best

1488
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 2: rotation in baseball. They've thrown the most innings in baseball

1489
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: by ten. They have the second lowest earned run average

1490
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 2: in base by a tenth of run over the Red Sox,

1491
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 2: their stars to have thrown forty more innings.

1492
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: They have one of the.

1493
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 2: Highest strikeout race. They have the highest strikeout rate. They

1494
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: have the second highest track at MYS walk rate opposed,

1495
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 2: they have three the.

1496
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: Whip under one, which is insane. The full rotation whip

1497
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: is one point oh three.

1498
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 2: It's what they're doing as rotation is amazing right now,

1499
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: and a lot of it's been Zach Wheeler being one

1500
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 2: of the best pitches in baseball. But there's two guys

1501
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 2: want to highlight who are really the reason that's happening,

1502
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 2: and it's Ranger Suarez and its Christopher Sanchez, both lefties,

1503
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 2: both sinker ballers, both change up heavy guys, both guys

1504
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 2: who I think the Phillies kind of developed in the

1505
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,439
Speaker 2: same ilk with the same mindset, and they were able

1506
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 2: to put it together just at different points because Ranger

1507
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 2: broke out a few years ago. Remember I shouted them

1508
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 2: out to you, like way way I'd get back in

1509
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, I was like, this guy has he does.

1510
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 2: He does things other guys can't do in the mound,

1511
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 2: and he manipulates both sides of the plate with his

1512
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 2: sinker and his four seam and his curve ball and

1513
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 2: his change up. So well, he's a guy who while

1514
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 2: he's the lefty and he has those pitches, he's really

1515
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 2: good at mixing them up to both hitters. And he's

1516
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 2: just he does like what Cliff Lee used to do,

1517
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 2: where he's just gonna eat those edges all day long.

1518
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 2: He's he's throwing your front doors, he's throwing your back doors.

1519
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: The command on that sinker is so good, and he's

1520
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 2: so comfortable with the fastball, especially he throws it. I

1521
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 2: think it's just it's very much it's all to the

1522
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 2: right handed battist, never to the leftiest. For that fastball,

1523
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 2: he just buries it inside, and he buries it inside,

1524
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 2: and he'll never let you put the barrel on the ball.

1525
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 2: And now he's been throwing more curveballs as a pitcher

1526
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 2: picked up last year and just it's all come together

1527
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 2: right now to give him a season that he's statistically

1528
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 2: right out like the best pitcher in baseball one five VRA,

1529
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 2: twenty eight percent strikeouts, four percent walks.

1530
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: He's stounding. Season ends today. Ragor Swarezwen's a cy young

1531
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: by a landslide.

1532
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's literally fantastic. And then the other guy, Christopher Sanchez.

1533
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 2: He was one of my favorites coming through this offseason,

1534
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 2: like fancy baseball prep, because he has a stretch to

1535
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 2: end last season as he's he's not a soft tossing

1536
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 2: left heaks, he'll go like like ninety three to ninety five,

1537
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 2: but he's not like an overpowering left yap. He's a

1538
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 2: big guy and he extends way down the mound on you.

1539
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: Oh he's not a big guy. I'm totally pert Christopher Sanchez.

1540
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 2: But another one, he manipulates that sinker. He picked up

1541
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 2: a tick this year. The change up is I think

1542
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 2: maybe the best in all of baseball. Like I can

1543
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 2: say that pretty honestly. That thing just it moves so much.

1544
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 2: It's got ten mile a hour difference from his fastball.

1545
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 2: It's it's completely fucking astounding. And he has a slided

1546
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: he makes send. Its also really good pitch, especially against lefties.

1547
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 2: Just we're gonna see both of these guys. They're gonna

1548
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 2: annoy the.

1549
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: Hell out of you.

1550
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,959
Speaker 2: They're very hard to barrel up. They're fantastic pitchers, ground

1551
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: balls all day long. I think they're both running like

1552
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 2: sixty percent groundball rates.

1553
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: A couple of really good pitchers in this Philly team.

1554
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 2: This Philly front office, Philly organization has really found their

1555
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 2: groove in the last few years and they've just they've

1556
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 2: become one of the powerhouse in baseball. There's not a

1557
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 2: team that's had the year to year over the last

1558
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 2: three years postseason success like the Philadelphia Phillies.

1559
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they knock out the Braves every single year,

1560
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: so Braves can't even really talk trash to this fan base.

1561
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez as well, was one of my breakout picks

1562
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: this year and my one breakout player for every team

1563
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,959
Speaker 1: at Christopher Sanchez because he's got a crazy high ground

1564
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: ball rate to throw along with like striking out twenty

1565
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 1: percent of the batter, so it's like, oh, ten percent

1566
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: of the time the guys hit the ball in the air,

1567
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: which is great when you play in Bank Park, because

1568
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: that's an absolute bambox.

1569
00:59:58,200 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 2: I think that's the reason the Phillies have gone after

1570
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 2: these kind of softer tossing, change up sinker guys. While

1571
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 2: the Phillis are doing something maybe crazy that I think

1572
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: a lot of the league is moving away from fastballs

1573
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 2: in general, like sinkers fastballs. In that same breadth, the

1574
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Phillies have the highest rate of fastballs by starting pitchers

1575
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 2: in any team in the league this year. It's by

1576
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 2: a decent margins. I think they're again something that I've

1577
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 2: seen the Cubs do and have been done really good

1578
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 2: pitching development, where they've gone for command over stuff. The

1579
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: Pillers are like fucking fastballs, dude, They're not expecting You're

1580
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 2: not expecting as many fastballs anymore so to throw this

1581
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 2: fastball because they're not really throwing him for whifs as much.

1582
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 2: It's a lot more sinkers. There's a lot of these

1583
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 2: guys have colors like it's it's a different mindset and

1584
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 2: it just shows that in baseball, like there's never one

1585
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 2: way to do it. There's never one way to do it.

1586
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 2: Just keep finding your ways, finding your groove. Go ying

1587
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 2: and Yang Zinguin de zag surprise them, and you'll be

1588
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 2: successful in this game for a long time.

1589
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Well, who is the who is the guy for the

1590
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: Mets that killed Joe Girardi nick name Nick Plumber. I

1591
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: don't know if I'll ever forgive Nick Plumber for killing

1592
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Joe Girardi Because the Phillies were dead and dead in

1593
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: the water and he hit that home run. The Phillies

1594
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: bluw that game, he got fired, and they've been an

1595
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: incredible since. The Phillies probably have like a six to

1596
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: fifty percent since that moment. It's possible.

1597
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Rob thom said, I don't necessarily know if

1598
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 2: he's a great manager, but it seems like he's got

1599
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 2: the vibes right at least that's all you need.

1600
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: He's a baseball life for his around. I'll try to

1601
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: find that.

1602
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 2: Tomorrow and do a messed up tweet for uh. The

1603
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 2: Phillies have The Phillies have this in this record since

1604
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 2: this moment, since Nick Plumber killed them to revive them. Damn,

1605
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 2: And I hate the Phillies. I hope we beat them

1606
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: so badly. It'd be great to take three or four.

1607
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

1608
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 2: It would just also get this team back to five hundred.

1609
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 2: We're game under right now, just get to five hundred,

1610
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 2: get to the Marlin series this weekend.

1611
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Let's beat the fuck out of that team. Yeah, yeah,

1612
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: we were looking ahead, We're looking ahead. But I think

1613
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,919
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it for this episode. Guys, H James,

1614
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: we got any reviews over on Apple for us, blow.

Speaker 2: Them up right now do And also so many people

1616
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 2: in the ballpark on side. I think it was the

1617
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 2: most that people have ever come up to me in

1618
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 2: a game. And there are multiple people that tagged me

1619
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 2: in tweets that said they saw me because I was

1620
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 2: being loud and aggressive during the Christians guys, of course,

1621
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,360

Speaker 2: woman next to me. There was like this, it was

1623

01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,600
