1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: What is Up?

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to a frustrating episode of the

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Mets Up Podcast.

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't know it's gonna be.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: About thirty minutes of the honest truth of what's going

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: on right now. I think you're gonna hear me and

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: James be a little more critical than you would expect.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be some real conversation about David Stearns,

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: There's gonna be some real conversation about Carlos Mendoza, and

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: just this team in general. It's a pretty horrible series

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: down in Baltimore. No, it's really just one technically bad day,

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: but to get beat the way that they did, in

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: the fashion that it happened, and the lack of offense,

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of like real conversations that

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: we had about this team as we were one series

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,760

Speaker 2: further ado, though, let's bring on James to tell us

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: how he's feeling what's going on.

41
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: That series is tough. The day was tough.

42
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: The series was saved by the like the miracle comeback,

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: on Tuesday night. Also just such an awkward timing of

44
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: the series because after the Subway series and that's when

45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: straight to Baltimore on Sunday, like late afternoon, got to

46
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: Baltimore by Sunday night, had an off day, Monday, spent

47
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: in the Baltimore, played one game Tuesday, rain out Wednesday,

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 3: so mes from Baltimore from was four total days and

49
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: played one baseball game, which is weird, like travel quirk

50
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 3: that happened this week. But I just think that we're

51
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: now really starting to see the chinks of this roster.

52
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: We're starting to see the holes that have not technically

53
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: been addressed. A lot of them are injury related. Now

54
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: some of them, the injury layers are getting worse because

55
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: Jesse came back when he got hurt again, which is

56
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: just crazy how that happens. But just it just feels

57
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: kind of clear right now that we're a few players short,

58
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: and like we are supposed to get Coda, Sang and

59
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: Shaum and I back, like those are the missing pieces technically.

60
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: But oh, we just went through a few weeks where

61
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: we saw a lot of Justin Hageman and Brandon Wattell

62
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: and Richard love Lady, I got rib Carzia actually, as

63
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: you calm down, real nice at the.

64
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: End of that game, so doesn't look bad either.

65
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: This is what I'm saying, Like, I think there may

66
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: be there could be some massaging that can happen there.

67
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: But also like with the lack of talent on the

68
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: roster at times, the lack of depth we see carloson Thoss,

69
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: I think consistently second guessing himself more than not. Like,

70
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: we're in the spot right now where it's just it's

71
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: it's it's weird. It's a strange. It's a strange mix

72
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: of bo these players talents right now, and I think

73
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: it's a difficult thing to navigate.

74
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: I think there are some players on this team that

75
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: are uncompetitive Major League Baseball players at the moment, Hayden

76
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: Sanger being one of them. I know what we know

77
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: the reasoning why Francisquilverrez is truly down this long.

78
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: It is a roster manipulation thing. Shout out Will Samon.

79
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: If the Mets keep down Alvarez till after the All

80
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: Star Break, shout out Billy Eepler, they get to keep

81
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: him for an extra year because he loses some service

82
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: time that he's been accumulating, so that would be big

83
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: for the Mets. We know that's roster manipulation, but also

84
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: Hayden Sanger is tough to be playing every single day

85
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: because he's just he's not a capable major league catcher

86
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: on a team that's trying to compete right now. Defensively,

87
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: he's completely fine, if not solid, but at the plate,

88
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: there's little to no upside right now. Luisaan Helaicuna just

89
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: got called up again. That's a little bit of roster

90
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: manipulation game played by David Stearns. And that cunning is

91
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: still there, but there is just guys right now that

92
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: are not major leaguers, like we saw on the offensive side.

93
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: On the bullpen side, you mentioned a couple of names

94
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: as well, where it's like every single day we're having

95
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: to play guys that truly are not major league baseball players.

96
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: And this is a team that has aspirations of winning

97
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: the World Series, winning the National League East. This is

98
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: a team that should have those aspirations. And when you're

99
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: playing guys like this consistently, it does put a lot

100
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: of pressure on everybody else and they're not answering the

101
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: call by any means.

102
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: But this is what I'm talking about about like the

103
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: seeming disconnect, and we always talked about how great the

104
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 3: connection was and synergy was between ownership, front office and

105
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: manager with Mendoz at Cowen and Stearns. But a guy

106
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: like Louis and Helakuni gets called back up before the

107
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: double heather on Thursday. Okay, we know that he has

108
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: to get called up right now to preserve his option.

109
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: I think it is worth preserving Louis and Helaicuni's option.

110
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 3: I don't think that Travis Jankowski's spot on this roster

111
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: is the most important thing. But then in that ILK,

112
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: I don't think there's really need to play Luis and

113
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: Helaicunia in the second game the double header. Like that's

114
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: where the disconnect is happening. I understand Louis and Helaicun

115
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: is here.

116
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: You want him to get reps.

117
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: But then like Ryan MURRISO, isn't playing a great third

118
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: base while you're playing a great third base base and

119
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: playing a good second base, hitting really well, but one

120
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: of the most consistent hitters in his team for a

121
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: two months stretch. Now Brett Bailey and Russia always coming

122
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: into his own. It does feel like taking better at bats,

123
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: being a little bit more patient, a bit more of

124
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 3: a discerning eye, which isn't hard for him to have

125
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: a more discerning eye because at least discerning guys in

126
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: the league. But to have to shoehorn Louis and Helakunya

127
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: into that lineup in the second game this double heather,

128
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: when you're in the spot where you're not really hitting anyway,

129
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 3: and Hayden Sanger is going to be in the lineup

130
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: whose tech was one of the worst hitters in professional

131
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: baseball right now, that seemed like something that Mendoza was

132
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: trying to do, something that maybe wasn't actually intended by

133
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: the roster move of David Searns. And that's the disconnect

134
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: I'm trying to harp on.

135
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also think too.

136
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: In game one of the doubleheader as well, again going

137
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: up against Charlie Morton, we saw some interesting decisions too, Like,

138
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: I don't I don't really know how much more we

139
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: can consistently play Tyrone Taylor in center. I know he's

140
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: great out there defensively, but he's rocking a five to

141
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: seventy five.

142
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Ohps, he's the only RBI in that game. I know.

143
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: But I'm just overall, I think like we have to

144
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: go with an offensive first lineup right now, especially because

145
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 2: the bats are so friggin ice cold, like insanely ice cold,

146
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: and Peterson's a ground ball pitcher, right like that seems

147
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: like the perfect time to play Jeff mcgeil out in

148
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: center field with a ground ball pitcher on there. I

149
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: understand you got to get your guys your reps, but

150
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: like you said, there does seem to be a little

151
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: bit of a disconnect of what's going on with the

152
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: playing time, guys getting their shot, guys playing here and there.

153
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: We even saw, like I know, we're getting very critical

154
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: of every single decision that's being made, but we saw

155
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: at one point, like Martienzez was in a game late

156
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: at third base defensively when you had Brett Baty available

157
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: to be there, you had guys that can move around

158
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: the infield and give you a more defensive, solid infield,

159
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: don't I don't know what the plan is. This is

160
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: one of the few times ever in the David Surtans,

161
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: Carlos Mendoza, Steve Cohen era where I don't really see

162
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: what the plan is for this team right now.

163
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out.

164
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little different kind of episode for us after series.

165
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: We usually, you know, we go game by game, play

166
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: by play, session by decision, talk about key things. But

167
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: I do think this warrant's a bit of a wider discussion.

168
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: I do think that there are more things that we've

169
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: seen now this week because Wednesday night, Nolan McLean has

170
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: a second straight game at Triple A s Eerracuse where

171
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: he strikes out ten went six innings, guy over ninety pitches,

172
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: and you're like, Okay, Mets didn't need to start there

173
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: on Thursday, to be honest with you, And it was like,

174
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: and this is this kind of something that we've alluded

175
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: to in the past with Windows too, where we like

176
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: the fact that he's brought like the Milwaukee Brewer's brain

177
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: Wterns cern sorry Sterns, because it helps him be cunning,

178
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: helps him be sharp on the edges. Like this Mets

179
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: team him David Sterns as executive consistently seems to win

180
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: on the margins. Right now, we're not winning on the margins.

181
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: We're losing on the margins, and us losing on the margins.

182
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: It has cost us a lot of games over the

183
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: past month. So that situation where bring the Milwaukee brain

184
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: for David Stearns, you don't want to start the forty

185
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: man clock on Nolan McLean before you have to, because

186
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: the men's forty man roster right now, you're a year

187
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: away from getting kind of crunch just because of how

188
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: many good prospects we've developed and how many guys we

189
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: think are going to become major leaguers over the next

190
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: twelve to eighteen months. Where at the moment the forty

191
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: man roster does not look crunch, but when you get

192
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: a year away, it will get a little crunch unless

193
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: you make a consolidation trade. So it's about kind of

194
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: keeping your dexterity, not starting that clock on somebody. But

195
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: the other the flip side of that is that there

196
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: has to be some urgency with this roster, right Like

197
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: we talked about this a lot more in the offseason.

198
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: It's the idea we had about being aggressive for pitchers

199
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: after signing Wan. So though we have a fifteen year

200
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: contract on Wan, So though you have a one year

201
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: contract on Pie Alonso, Brandon went Fiscal Lindora are both

202
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: over thirty years.

203
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Old, like this are their primes right now.

204
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: Right now, They're probably not going to have better seasons

205
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: than the ones they're having, you know what I mean, Like,

206
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean maybe again, it'll probably be

207
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: similar seasons, but like it's hard to yeah, it's hard

208
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: to be like, oh yeah, the next Brandon was best

209
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: seasons ahead of him.

210
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you don't want to do the thing

211
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: where you're counting.

212
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: You keep saying next year, next year, next year, and

213
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you look and you're like,

214
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: everyone's thirty three, thirty four years old.

215
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's like that's like two years away for those

216
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: two guys, and also you have Pilanzo for one year.

217
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: This rotation isn't exactly young. Like we've seen the injury

218
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: issues women and I and Koda Sangath those are two

219
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: guys in the thirties as well, Like David Peterson, this

220
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: is late twenties. Like there's another guy in his prime,

221
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: Like there has to be some level urgency. And we

222
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: saw how important one game was last season when the

223
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 3: Mets made the playoffs by one game, and one game

224
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: is a thing. I'd let us have the magical run

225
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 3: that we had actually have a chance to reach the

226
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: World Series. So to let two times in a week,

227
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: three times in a week, Hagiman and Wadell mix and

228
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: matching these games. When you have a guy like McLain

229
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: who's crushing in Triple A and that was like that

230
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: was a big deal, Like can you get Triple A

231
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 3: not face the roadblock? We're there were months into Triple

232
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 3: A is not face a roadblock? So it's like there's

233
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: I understand, like the pecking order, like Tiddle has gotten

234
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: those chances. First, you don't want to start the forty

235
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: man o'clock and someone you see is like a potential

236
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: blue chip prospect. But when when is that inflection point

237
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 3: when is actually more important to possibly have a better

238
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: chance to win your.

239
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: Game you're playing, Yeah, it feels just like we're holding

240
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: onto our card so tight and you're playing Uno and

241
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: you're waiting for that moment to hit them like with

242
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: the reverse or the skip. You're waiting for that perfect timing.

243
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: And I just don't think that's gonna happen. And I

244
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: don't think over a major league season you can kind

245
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: of thread that needle. As much as it feels like

246
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: the Mets are currently trying to. You mentioned the forty

247
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: man and while there are some guys on here that

248
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: we kind of ish like being a part of the

249
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: glob of chaos. But at the end of the day,

250
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: like some of the guys who are in the miners

251
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: right now who have a forty man roster spot on

252
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: this team, ty Adcock expendable, right, I mean, he's someone

253
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: who if Nolan MacLean were to take his spot on

254
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: the forty man roster, are are you losing even a

255
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: second of sleep over that one? Justin Garza, I know

256
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: we liked what we saw out of him, But similarly,

257
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: like kind of kind of Jonathan Pintaro is a cool story,

258
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: but another one where it's like kind of it feels

259
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: like this roster, while there's there's been a ton of

260
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: injuries to the pitching. We know that aj Minter is

261
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: on the sixth of theil Tyler McGill, shaum and I

262
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: is coming back, but Dadanielle then goes down and Brooks

263
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: Raley's hurt, and you could the.

264
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: List goes on and on.

265
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: But the Mets are not the only team in Major

266
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: League Baseball who also have pitching injuries. They're not the

267
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: only team that has these issues. And I would like

268
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: to see Sterns press press like press the button. Let's

269
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: let's go for it. Let's push a little bit forward

270
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: because you don't want to let it. I don't want

271
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: to say slip away. And it doesn't feel like that.

272
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: But this team needs some sort of juice right now,

273
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: needs a little energy, and maybe the All Star breaks

274
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: can be great for them, and they're gonna get to

275
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: relax and hang out with their family and have times

276
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: and enjoy their off days some of them.

277
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I.

278
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: Can't really feel great, and I'm sure Carlos Mendoza feels

279
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: like this too, which is why the bullpen handling and

280
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: management it's been terrible. I mean, I think there's no

281
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 2: way to explain it. Mendoza's handled the bullpen and the

282
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: pitching horribly. But then here's the guys on the active

283
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: roster for the bullpen right now. Braz Obono has been great,

284
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: Alex Correo, who you could talk about in a little bit,

285
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: he's still very unproven. Davinski was not on this team

286
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: to start the year. He was in the minors, Rico Garcia, Reid,

287
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: Garrett Hagenman, Love Lady Stanic Austin, Warren Waddell, and then

288
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: you also have Edwin Diaz. It's like I don't really

289
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: know how many times you can keep pushing the same

290
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: button over and over again and expect different outcomes when

291
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: this is kind of the talent that's in the bullpen

292
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 2: right now.

293
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: Hey, let's do a little player spotlight thanks to Arena

294
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: Club AJ give me a player this season that you

295
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 4: think is underrated and you might want to try and

296
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: grab his card.

297
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: James Would.

298
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 5: I don't know that he's underrated, but Washington National's superstar

299
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: in the making. The first slab pack I ever opened

300
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 5: had him minute his rookie card, and the value is

301
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 5: only going to go up and up and up. And

302
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna sell it Kwie yet. Scott. I'm gonna

303
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 5: hold on to it because after he continues to hit

304
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: big homers and put up the stats make All Star teams,

305
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 5: it's gonna get more expensive for someone to buy.

306
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: For me.

307
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: This is his first full season in the majors. Keep

308
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: that in mind. I think he's underrated. He's on a

309
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 4: Nationals team that's man adding enough attention.

310
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: He might underrated.

311
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 5: When he makes the All Star team this year, They're

312
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 5: not going to be underrated.

313
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: That helps.

314
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: He's been intentionally walked four times in a game Anyway,

315
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 4: if you want to try and find a wood rookie card,

316
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: go check out slab packs on Arena Club and right

317
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: now you can get twenty percent off your first slab pack.

318
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 4: Or if you just want to go with a card purchase,

319
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: go to Arena club dot com. Slash foul, use code foul.

320
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 4: If you buy, sell, trade, collect, go for it.

321
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: And you do feel that again that indecisions from Indos

322
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: were kind of the opposite thing happened in the first

323
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: two games of the series. Again, it feels like a

324
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: long time because it was Tuesday and then Thursday at noon,

325
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: but we were a little bit critical in your stream

326
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 3: on playback on Tuesday night. It's a fact that a

327
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: Clay Holmes was pitching. He was pitching well, all of

328
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: a sudden, two guys get on and the top of

329
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: the order is up and there was no one ready

330
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: to go. And then Mendo's answer for that was like,

331
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: he was cruising. I wasn't even thinking about that. He

332
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: was the seventy five pitches.

333
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: He was cruising.

334
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: But also like last start when he faced the Brewers,

335
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 3: like once he got to eighty, then he got yanked.

336
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: So it was like, all right, so now those are

337
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: two things that differently happened, When then the same thing

338
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: happens in the eighth inning in the game on Thursday,

339
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: where I understand how badly you want to get David

340
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: Peterson through that eighth inning. He only had ninety pitches,

341
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 3: Like That's something that I think with Peterson starts a

342
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: lot of other stars like Peterson who are more contact oriented.

343
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: We contact groundball guys. Those pitch cowns can be deceiving

344
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: because it still is difficult to face these lions. Had

345
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: you turn them over, turn them over, and turn them over,

346
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: and he was at the bottom of the order, and

347
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: you are you do have a lefty, lefty matchup against

348
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: Colton Kawser. It should have made sense to leave him

349
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 3: in there. But now Mendoza seemed like jumpy. He had

350
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: Ryan Stanick ready for two winnings and in case somebody

351
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 3: got on. But then you have to have the foresight

352
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: to understand that once you take the lefty out, like

353
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 3: under Henderson's on that bench, he's the best player on

354
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: this team by far. He's going to come up unless

355
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: you bring a left in. But if you bring a

356
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: lefty in, you know you don't even have a left

357
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: He to bring in, So like that was something that

358
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 3: I'm not saying does didn't know that.

359
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: He clearly knew that.

360
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: Clearly his decision was he didn't think Peterson had enough

361
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: left against Luis Fasquez, who like, that's I'll leave that there.

362
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: But to think that the matchup is better for Peterson

363
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: on f for standing against Gunner Henderson and Peterson a

364
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: fumes against the minor league hither, it's like that.

365
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: That seems to me, like a.

366
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,359
Speaker 3: Difference that seems to make a lack of foresight analysis

367
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: maybe also.

368
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: Felt crazy to me too. That Stank was the guy,

369
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: like you said, being up that long. I feel like

370
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: relievers never do well when they're up that long. I'm

371
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: shocked they didn't go to read Garrett in the eighth

372
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: thing there. You know that's a little Monday morning quarterback,

373
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: But like, if there's the second best reliever in this bullpen,

374
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: is undoubtedly read Garrett Ryan Stannick, especially when you know

375
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: there's gonna be left handed batters coming in. That splitter

376
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: still is getting no whiffs. That's his lefty neutralizer. It's

377
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: not working. The sweeper is still kind of finicky for him,

378
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: and he left the fat pitch to Gunner Henderson, who

379
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: absolutely absolutely hit a tank. I felt like read Garrett

380
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: was a better matchup, even if you knew that that

381
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: was coming. So that's where I was also confused in

382
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: that moment.

383
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: And you kind of got like a half of a

384
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: gift with that off day because Garrett he just pitched.

385
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: He pitched the two winnings all the way back on

386
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: the forth and he pitched the one inning eight pitches

387
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, So you're like, oh, he's doing eight pitches

388
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: in four days, like you should. It's not like he's

389
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: not available. And maybe it's just something like keep the

390
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: confidence with Ryan standing because Standard hadn't pitched since Saturday

391
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: before this game. But like that's another thing where it's like, hey,

392
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: like you just gotta get this out, Like you know,

393
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: Gunner Henderson is coming up. The second you take David

394
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: Peterson out the game. You have to know that's the.

395
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: Move or is that when you get crazy like DZ,

396
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: let's go, let's see what you got. But there were

397
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: no as.

398
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: I don't think he was gonna do that going through

399
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: that no outs with a double header then four straight

400
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: games before the break, you know what I mean?

401
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: And I thought about that instantly too.

402
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: Then I was like, you know, if there's two outsref

403
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: and there's one out, maybe that makes sense and you

404
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: don't have him till Sunday. But I don't think. I

405
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: don't think you do that with nos. I don't think

406
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: you're like Edwin diz neused to get a six out

407
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: saved on July tenth. I just don't think that that's

408
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: what they were thinking. But I think that's again with it.

409
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: I think there's he's second guessing himself because of some

410
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: decisions that have openly he'd kind of been wrong recently,

411
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: Like he's been fantasked with the same situation four times

412
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: in the last ten day over again, and then he

413
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: keeps and again again. I hate looking back like this.

414
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: I hate this bullshit. The hindsight is twenty twenty. But

415
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: the process keeps seeming different. And that's what we'd like

416
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: so much last year and with this organization, all the

417
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: saying the process was the same, the process was consistent.

418
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: Now it's seeming less consistent. I know different guy's a

419
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: different process, of course, but it doesn't feel again consistent

420
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: right now.

421
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: Now.

422
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: I want to switch the conversation because as much as

423
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: the pitching handling has been weird, and the bullpen hasn't

424
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: been sharp. The biggest problem with this team as it

425
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: was from day one at the start of the season

426
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: to as it is right now is they still are

427
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: not hitting consistently enough, and especially when they get guys

428
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: and runners in scoring position, they can't do anything.

429
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: And at what point, what point I'm gonna scream and

430
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: yell about it until it happens?

431
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: Do we look to make a change. How many times

432
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: are we gonna keep doing this same thing over and

433
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: over again. Get rid of Shavas and Barnes. You have to,

434
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: you have to get rid of.

435
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: Them at some point. Is that really a change?

436
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: Yes, it's It sends a message at the end of

437
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: the day, that's true. It sends a message that whatever

438
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 2: was just happening is unacceptable. I don't know how many times.

439
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: Like I know it's crazy too, because you look at

440
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 2: the Mets stats for the year and you're like seventh

441
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: in WRS or fifth in WRC plus for the season.

442
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, we know, Alonzo sodo Nimo lindor like

443
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: they're carrying the load there, but then something happens. There

444
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: is one an approach issue when runners are in scoring position,

445
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 2: and that approach thing seems to be has to has

446
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: to be coming somewhere, right. Who's responsible for why they

447
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: literally get so fucking fucked over when runners in scoring.

448
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: Position are on.

449
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: We've looked at this before and I'm gonna load the

450
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: stats while I'm filibustering right now. But there isn't really

451
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 3: an approach issue. It just comes down to a lot

452
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: of bullshit there. Part of it is what you're right about.

453
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: You they're just squeezing the bat too tightly. But if

454
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: you look at the process stats runs the scorn position,

455
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 3: when you look at our hit rates, when you look

456
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 3: at chase rates, those are aren't bad from those players.

457
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: But that because the players are good? Or is that

458
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: is that the players being good players like we know

459
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: WANs to hits the ball. We know Pee Alonzo hits

460
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: the ball. Then what's the problem. Then you tell me

461
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: what their problem is. There has to be some sort

462
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: of disconnect between maybe even it's this and we have

463
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: heard Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes both say we don't

464
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 2: have that data. Those are words that have come out

465
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: of their mouth when we heard the Peede Alonzo swing changes.

466
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: He needed data that we didn't have. And I don't

467
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: know whose fault that is, but it feels like theirs.

468
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: Maybe like we saw Brandon Young we in that first

469
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: game when he had the immaculate inning and all that nonsense,

470
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: And how many fucking fastballs low on the zone did

471
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: the Mets just take and take? And I know you

472
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: said to left Z he didn't throw that all year, none,

473
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 2: But when's when's the change gonna happen? Hey, guys, alert

474
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: to everybody. He's throwing differently. Adjust There's no adjustments by

475
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: this team offensively.

476
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: That's my issue.

477
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're contradicting yourself because you're you're proclaiming these

478
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: guys don't give them information, there's no preparation, but they

479
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: were prepped and someone adjusted on them, so it's it's

480
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: a snap back.

481
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: But then there's no adjustment. Again.

482
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: It just seems like, what like they get told one

483
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: thing and it doesn't work. How do we keep running

484
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: into pictures that the order.

485
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: Thing they're getting to the order is.

486
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: Pitching fucking stinks, It's terrible, it's your fuck horrible.

487
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Sugano stinks.

488
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: But I don't know how he keeps doing it, and

489
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: I want him on the Mets just for the vibes,

490
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: but at some point, Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes have

491
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: to be held responsible. This team has good hitters and

492
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 2: they just can't get it done. They scored three runs

493
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: in this game. They scored one run in the earlier

494
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: game against fucking forty five year old Charlie Morton. They

495
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: barely hit Brandon Young, Like, when are they gonna When

496
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: is gonna happen? When is gonna happen that everybody's hitting?

497
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: They can't just all be They feel disconnected. It feels

498
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: like there's a disconnect at the plate.

499
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: Again. That's that's the vibe of this episode. I don't know.

500
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm fucking don't with Shavas and Barnes, I can't do

501
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: it anymore.

502
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: Alonzo so though, and them all all have over a

503
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: forty two heart hit rate runs Squorm Saishi, They're awesome,

504
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: but I'm saying, what else can you do?

505
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: Then hit the ball hard? What about the rest of

506
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: the team. Isn't that where the coaches should be helping.

507
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 3: These guys if they can't just been quite bad?

508
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

509
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: I know that one, but like if Viento's if torrendz

510
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 2: if Mauricio, if baty, which baity is because these are

511
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: our runners to score position king. We know that, but like,

512
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: why can't those guys gets hit if we're trusting like

513
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 2: the player's skill and if they're not good enough, they

514
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: can't be on the team.

515
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: I think that's also the conversation to have too.

516
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 3: But I'm saying then this swings again back to the

517
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: Mendoza stuff, because when you put out of the lineup

518
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: for the second game is Double Heather, after you lost

519
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 3: the first game in the Double Heather, and you know

520
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 3: you're doing five or six innings of why Dellen Hageman

521
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: the best case scenario by the end of the fifth inning,

522
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 3: do you give up three runs? That's like, that's what

523
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: you hope. That's kind of like you're that's okay. Do

524
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: you do pure black holes eight and nine and the other?

525
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: And Mark Fiento's in the six bot when I know

526
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 3: that Vianto's actually did have a good game in the

527
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: first game, I thought that that was a click moment

528
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 3: for Mark Fianto's. I thought the adrenaline was pumping through

529
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: his veins. He actually did put a lot of good

530
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: swings on the ball. I thought it was really he

531
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: put a really great at bad in those middle innings

532
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: against more in right textes to you, I was like,

533
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: that was like the Mark viandas I think I saw

534
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: last year, and my dad at the exact same time

535
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: said the exact same thing of like, that's the Mark

536
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: Ventos to twenty twenty four.

537
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he.

538
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: Played the cat and mouse game with the pitcher, which

539
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 3: Mark Fantos did so well last year. Guys pitched the hit,

540
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: knew where it was and smacked it. But then again

541
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: you get to the next game and none of that's

542
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: there again, but you know that you're at a monstrous

543
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: pitching this advantage, and you even managed to take a

544
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: two nothing lead at the top of the first inning,

545
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 3: but you just don't have enough to sustain it. And

546
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: like this was this was a.

547
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Bad This was bad. I mean he's been great a seasons.

548
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: Was a bad day for pe Lonzo, Like you got

549
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: to say that it was, but like it's not this

550
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: by no means his fault. And then to again to

551
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 3: have a lineup with two complete missing spots when you

552
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: know you have openers guys who are not really major

553
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: league caliber pitchers pitching. It's like that to me, doesn't

554
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: seem like a good idea.

555
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's also definitely a big part of the

556
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: issue too, and that's part of the reason why I'm like,

557
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: I still want shops in them gone that you're never

558
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: gonna change my mind on that. But at the same time,

559
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 2: these guys at the bottom of the order, if they

560
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: can't fix these guys, then they probably aren't major league

561
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: Baseball players.

562
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: Either like one one one or the other. We gotta

563
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: pick a lane here.

564
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: There's got to be some sort of some sort of vision,

565
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: some some sort of focus that we're working on, because

566
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: when those two black holes are at the bottom of

567
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: the order, we're now making this game in seat of

568
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: twenty seven outs, we're making it twenty one twenty outs

569
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: sometimes because those are automatic outs, And that's the Mets

570
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: just can't afford with the pitching and the lack of

571
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: bullpend to make these games shorter at the plate.

572
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, it's just it does come a lot back

573
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: to the few guys that should be the ones to

574
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: have the.

575
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: Bridge guys that haven't been.

576
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 3: And now with Jesse Winker out injured again, with Solimight

577
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 3: Tay not playing right now, while he was hitting well,

578
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: with Jeff mcgil hitting pretty well. Yeah, it just comes

579
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: back squarely on Mark Fiantos's shoulders, like can you because

580
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 3: I think objectively watching these kind I think watching his

581
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 3: last few weeks of baseball, like I have a bit

582
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: of a newfound confidence in the combination of Baby and

583
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: Mauricio outfinitely everyday players. So that's what I'm saying. So

584
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 3: right now, you have those two guys you're like, I'm

585
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 3: comfortable there at bats. Then you have five other guys

586
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: that were saying we're comfortable with there at bats. We

587
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: just named seven hitters. If you have seven good hitters

588
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: in the line that you trust, that should be enough.

589
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 3: And we haven't even talked about the DH yet, which

590
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: should be one of the easiest ones to pick out.

591
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: Right, where's Jad Martinez give him a call?

592
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he just declined the Rangers league offer.

593
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, like, there's that's that winds up being

594
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 3: the problem on most days, and the fact that Sanger

595
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: is is so bad, like getting so bad. The Mets

596
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: this year from the catcher position are twenty fourth in

597
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 3: WRC plus the twenty seven percent worse than league average

598
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: cumulusly from their catchers play the appearance.

599
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: Of this season.

600
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: That also reflects on louise URRNS. I know the Reicie trends,

601
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: stung that ball in the ninth inning in the first game,

602
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 3: but like he hasn't gotten a big hit in months,

603
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: and like this is all this is what all of

604
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 3: this does wind up coming down to. It's like you

605
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: go to be expected more Louis Urrentz. Yeah, six forty four,

606
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: five to eighty two. Shit, God damn it, like this

607
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 3: you can't. He's the perfect backup, that's all. I'll say,

608
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: the perfect backup. But then are you not okay with

609
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: the Ross manipulation? Because I still think the Ross manipulation

610
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: does play.

611
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: It does, but I just need that day to come faster.

612
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, like there's there's nothing that, like I

613
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: we can do about that one, and I kind of hate,

614
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: like I in the back of my head, I kind

615
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: of hate it, but also it is the right move

616
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: in this and also Alfreds was playing terribly. He needed

617
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: to fix something. Shout out Jperre and Cebia, who has

618
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: been just fixing them left and right. Had a quote

619
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: where he was like if I had that twenty twenty threes,

620
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: like you don't hit the world on fire.

621
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: That was an incredible year.

622
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: Time and the Rents husband shout a shout them out.

623
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 3: But this just and again, I think this all comes

624
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: back to all the things to talk about the beginning.

625
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: It's the distant next between front office and coaching staff

626
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: right now where a lot of these problems get will

627
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 3: be a little bit smooth over if you don't have

628
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 3: Brandon Wadell and Justin Hageman pitching three games at three

629
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: out of seven games, I'd pitched a lot, yeah, because

630
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 3: it was it was the Brewers last week. It was Friday,

631
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: and then it was Sunday, and then it was this Thursday.

632
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: So three times in the Mets games.

633
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 2: The Mets won the Haganan game, which is hilarious to

634
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: look back at now. But like I think another thing

635
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: to talk about too with this team is what happens

636
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 2: on the road. How cheating, right, you will have to

637
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: be cheating the way that the difference between how they play.

638
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: They're two and ten in their last twelve road games.

639
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: They're so horrible on the road.

640
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 3: Kind of I also think that I don't know though,

641
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: like if we look at this Oriols team, it's like

642
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: last place in the Al East, Like this team sucks.

643
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 3: But also like since they fired their manager, they're like

644
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 3: four or five games over five hundred.

645
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: But they're they're pitching.

646
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 2: That's that's one thing that's always gonna stink as long

647
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: as it continues.

648
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 3: Sure, but again, like Charlie Moore and again I tweeted,

649
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: he could roll out of bed at seventy seven, take

650
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: his pills, go onund six innings of one run ball,

651
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 3: six strikeouts against the Mets.

652
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: No matter what.

653
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: It's not hitting Sugano, who came into this game just limping,

654
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: who's had a bad month and a half, and you

655
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 3: put two on You put two on him early, like

656
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 3: you should be able then to open the floodgates, like

657
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 3: make him sweat a little bit. And then the Orioles

658
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 3: to Tony Man was a Mansolino, massive mass Allino, Pazzan.

659
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: He had no fear throwing Sugano back out there for

660
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 3: a six inning when he's still like the Mets just

661
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: were swinging the first pitch, they were hitting ground balls

662
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: like it was.

663
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: It was no fear with his lineup.

664
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 3: They didn't really put up any resistance. And that's the

665
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 3: part that makes me upset.

666
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: And actually they kind of.

667
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: Just it gives me a it does give me are

668
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's it's just it's very frustrating. I

669
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: don't think this team is bad, but there's got to

670
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: be there. Where's the fix at this point?

671
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you got the trade deadline acquisitions coming back

672
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: this weekend, you got you go to Sanga Shom and

673
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 3: I there's al.

674
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: Is that just the difference? Is that just the difference?

675
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a big difference.

676
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: You could know if those two guys replace hang him

677
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 3: in and Watell on the roster. That feels very different

678
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 3: to me, but also like we're starting to feel the

679
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 3: snippiness kind of bleed into the broadcast now this week

680
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: for the first time where Gary made some comments where

681
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 3: he was clearly second guessing some of the Mendoza decisions.

682
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: He brought up the intent to non intentional walk to

683
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: judge on Sunday during this game, and Waddell was on

684
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: the mound, and then he made another comment later I

685
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 3: can't remember.

686
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: It was about when Brett Baty clanked to the ground

687
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 2: ball to third base and he's like, Mauricio has been

688
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: playing a great third and I was like, well, to

689
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 2: be fair, Brett Baty has two but maybe that's more

690
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: of a comment of Mauricio third, Brett Baty second, No

691
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: Luis on Hellacuni in the lineup again.

692
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 3: That was the one of the first things we talked

693
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: about the episode, the fact that if Luis Lacuni is

694
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: on the roster, he doesn't have to start the first

695
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 3: day he gets called up, especially the other guys are

696
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: playing well.

697
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: Doesn't really even have to play that much. He could

698
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: just be the pinch runner guy who maybe comes in

699
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: for defense the game if you need it. Yeah, let

700
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 2: him be an agent of chaos.

701
00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: It was.

702
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: It's also, I know, these guys kind of seem like robots,

703
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 3: and Baty's been so good that defensively this year at

704
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: every single place we've wanted to put him. That's a

705
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: huge change going from second base to third base. There's

706
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: just like no similarities of fielding those two positions, Like

707
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 3: the what do you have to do when a ball's

708
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 3: coming to you a third base compared to second is

709
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: so completely different, Like the steps you take at third

710
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 3: base to get to that ball, and the way the

711
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 3: reason he bleted that ball was because he got caught

712
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: in between hop That was like the big thing that

713
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 3: was wrong with him the first time he came up,

714
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 3: and then he fixed those problems.

715
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: He's been great there.

716
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 3: When you start playing second base, you take a nap

717
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: when you wait for that ball to get too. That's

718
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 3: an easy plays, an easy throw, like you can do

719
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: whatever you want. So it did seem like he got

720
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: caught in between. And again not saying he's infallible, not

721
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: saying like that's an error he should have made by

722
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: any means, because he's moving repositions. But that is like here,

723
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 3: play third base, play second base, like in the same day.

724
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: That's hard just because you have to shooehorn In Luisa

725
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: Helakoon into the lineup. To me, it doesn't make any sense.

726
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: I think also, like shout Brett Batty. He hasn't been

727
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: the problem, by the way, why this team's losing. He's

728
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: been playing great baseball over the last two weeks, has

729
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: like an OPS year eight hundred over the last fifteen

730
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: games that he's he's been really good.

731
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: This is a guy keeping on the MLB roster.

732
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: He's an OPS over eight hundred his last like sixty

733
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 3: games played.

734
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: Really is it that much? Yeah, it's two months of baseballs.

735
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he had the abysmal abysmal first stretch

736
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 2: of the year where he was unplayable.

737
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 3: And then with a positive oa two different positions on

738
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: the infield. Like, there's no there's no there's no dispersions

739
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 3: being cast on Brett Baby. We're just talking about something

740
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: happened in this game being a sentim of a larger

741
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 3: problem that was an area that Baity did make.

742
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, it's just, uh, there's there's just

743
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: weird vibes. Again.

744
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's because they hit the road

745
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: or whatnot. I feel like Keith resents Juan Soto.

746
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: Do you feel that.

747
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 3: I mean when he didn't hustle in the first game,

748
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: there was some real moans and growns.

749
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy though, I watching that game, Pete

750
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: Alonso hit a ground ball to second base, did not hustle.

751
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: No comment for there's a bunch of other players who

752
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: do this stuff and don't hustle.

753
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: It's different when you make the most money on the team.

754
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: In the league and the war.

755
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: You're right, I actually don't want you hustling on ground

756
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: balls as even more because we're paying you all this

757
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: money and you're so important to this team. This is

758
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: always my hot take and I know it gets people

759
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: so fucking mad, but I'm not. I do not want

760
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: Wan Soto fucking hustling on a ground ball to second base, ever,

761
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: because we've seen the risk reward for the hush shower

762
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: is fucking monumentally in the risks side risk.

763
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: Can I give you? Can I give you something else?

764
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: Is there a difference between not hustling and just lightly jogging? No,

765
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 3: because yeah, there definitely is, because you don't have to

766
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: bust out of the box. You don't have to be you,

767
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: you don't have to be Johnny Hustle every single time.

768
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: But when Solo luckily got to the second first base

769
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: after how they belied that ball in the first game,

770
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: he was like walking, he was looking around.

771
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: I super don't care. All you have to eat.

772
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: I think a light jock changes things. But also I

773
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: think you also have to I think Pete, I think,

774
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: I think not Pete Keith. I think the conversations that

775
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: Solo had to the media permeated a little bit. I

776
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: think they make their rounds, like we were going to

777
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: media marvelus. We did have a lot of media marvels

778
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: prepared for this episode. Might save him for the weekend,

779
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: might save him another episode this week just because I

780
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: don't want to talk. I don't want to make fun

781
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: of people when the Mets just had played a dog

782
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 3: shit day of baseball. But those are the kinds of

783
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 3: comments that definitely rub old baseball people the wrong way.

784
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: Jan Sodo breaks every single unwritten rule of baseball the

785
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: old Guard holds sacred. Keith broke some of the written

786
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: rules of baseball that he had.

787
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: He has had to pay. He has had to pay

788
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: for that over the course of his career. But it

789
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: is different.

790
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: And again, if he's hitting right now, so it's no

791
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: big deal, like you know, also similar in those versions.

792
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: I want so though, but in two games like this

793
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: where no one gets a big hit, that's when you

794
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: get the mons and groans from Keith about someone need

795
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: to step up and not looking at Pete who left

796
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: like nine guys on base.

797
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: Between these two games, there was a funny moment where

798
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: I think Shugano threw like a low curveball and Keith

799
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: made a comment I thought I wrung him up. There

800
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: wasn't even close. I was like, are you rooting for

801
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: him to strike out? I'm like, what is going on?

802
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: And then when he's stole second base. He was like

803
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: disgusted that Soto stole that base and that the Orioles

804
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: didn't try better to hold him on and just let

805
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 2: him steal. He's like, you're falling asleep there again. You

806
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: can't let that happen. And it's like, how about heads

807
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: up played by Juan Soto who gets made fun of

808
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: all the time for not hustling, but that's.

809
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: Where he makes up for it. And he's one of

810
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: the best fucking hitters on the plane.

811
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: And again, I don't give a shit if he runs

812
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: out any ground balls ever in his life as a

813
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: Mets fan. Get to the playoffs, run it out. That's

814
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: the only time game don't matter running out. So it

815
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: was one of the most efficient based Steelers in baseball

816
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: this season.

817
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to be lost in this like bad

818
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 3: a few weeks that the Mets are the most efficient

819
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 3: team the Ceiling Bass and all Antwine Richardson and the Beast,

820
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: and the Mets are the second slowest team in the

821
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: whole league based on average sprint speed on fangrass, and

822
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: we have the best stolen base percentage and we're top

823
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: ten in total stolen bases. So it's not like we're

824
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 3: stealing three bags a month. The Mets also haven't had

825
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: a straight caught stealing in a month of games June twelfth.

826
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 3: They once got picked off in Atlanta, the only time

827
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: he's been caught this year. But the last time someone

828
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: got thrown out in a straight steel second base was

829
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: June twelfth.

830
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Let's also bring back that Keith thing. One

831
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: more comment.

832
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: The irony is that there were multiple comments Keith made

833
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: in this game about his himself working and like himself

834
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: getting his bag, and of course you ever look at

835
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: another man's pocket. Everyone else got to get their bag.

836
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: I got blocked by someone in the Mets community calling

837
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: him a communists after he said so there was ridiculous

838
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: for wanting his one hundred thousand dollars bonus. But Keith

839
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: first made a comment that the game that was supposed

840
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: to happen on Wednesday night got moved to Thursday. That

841
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 3: was an ESPN game rained out, so S and Y

842
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: I got two broadcasts they were supposed to get got

843
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 3: three broadcasts series and they were only supposed to get two.

844
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: Keith immediately goes, oh, I only have my one ten

845
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: for the year. Now I got to get one lopped

846
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: off later, and then they got news in between the

847
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: double Heathers that one did get lopped off, that a

848
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 3: Sunday game in San Francisco got flexed Sunday night Baseball,

849
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 3: and Keeps was like, great, get no day of spending

850
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 3: my brother.

851
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: So this that's that's like the same conceptual.

852
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 3: He's the one so one hundred thousand dollars thing where

853
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 3: Keith is like, oh, well, I can't I can't do

854
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: that one game. Gary clearly ripping him, like knowing Keith

855
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: would keep thinks He's like, oh, why don't you do

856
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: one our gratis just for all for how well they

857
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 3: tated you over the Keith started hysterically laughing.

858
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: He wor seose he was cackling.

859
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: But that was that was a funny moment to me,

860
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: whereas like some irony of like the way that those

861
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 3: solo comments were received.

862
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: And then Keith and names.

863
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 3: Openly being like I'm not working one I'm not working

864
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: one extra game, and he's and they're both right, yeah,

865
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: oh they're both right.

866
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one hundred thousand dollars. I don't care how

867
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: much money you have. One hundred thousand dollars, its gonna

868
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: have a lot of fun with that.

869
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: So you can you can do a lot with it.

870
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 3: You could you could buy you could buy a cousin

871
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 3: of house. You could do so much you go to

872
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars, or you could literally whatever you want. Yeah,

873
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 3: you put it away, vest whatever you want to do.

874
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 3: At the same time, shout out David Peterson making the

875
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: All Star game. Very funny to watch that game slip

876
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: away and then in between the double header, realize you're

877
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: a first time all start with that, but that that's

878
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: a cool moment. Have another met there, get a good

879
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 3: recognition reput and after an incredible first half.

880
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: Set Peterson, he's just a really good pitcher. Anything else

881
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: to talk about with this series or we want to

882
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: move on to the series preview? I think that is all.

883
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we got to rip to the part. Yeah,

884
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: that we did.

885
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 2: I think we gotta go ahead and do a series preview.

886
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: But before we get going into the series preview, the

887
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: Draft Kings player Spotlight is back, and for this episode

888
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: we're talking about Code.

889
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: I saying it he's coming back. James, are you excited?

890
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to get Code I sang it back.

891
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: It was nice that I it was real panic when

892
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: he got out the first time. It was a hamstring injury,

893
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: so the arm was good the whole time. He was

894
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: throwing just one rehab start last week at Binghamton didn't

895
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 3: pitch greape. We don't really care about the uh. We

896
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: don't really care about the the e result in rehap start.

897
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 3: We just care about you could throw your pitches. Kai

898
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: Sang still got eleven swings and misses. He got to

899
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: sixty eight pitches against.

900
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: The yard goats.

901
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 3: Shout out the yard goats and that rehap start for

902
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 3: code Asanga.

903
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: But I'm ready to.

904
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 3: Watch kote I Sanga come back, give this team a

905
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: good five inning, get up to eighty five pitches, you know,

906
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 3: five or six strikeouts. I think that will be the

907
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: line to watch out four in the DraftKings player spotlight here.

908
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: I'm sure going over under.

909
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: I'm sure if it comes in four and a half

910
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 3: and going over five and a half, I'd go under.

911
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna see a five strikeout, five inning

912
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 3: performance from kode Asanga. So that's where Matt and I'm

913
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: just excited that he can be back. It seems like

914
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 3: this team gets a real boost whenever kode Asanga is

915
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: on the mountain.

916
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's lulls after his injury where the team almost

917
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 2: feels like they've lost like their spiritual leader or something.

918
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what he does in the clubhouse. Doesn't

919
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: really speak any English, so I don't really know what's

920
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: going on there either. But he's a damn good pitcher,

921
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: so I'm very excited to have him back. And I

922
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: know you just took the code I Sanga over under

923
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: you told this. Depending on what the line is, I'm

924
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: gonna go a little bit different for you guys here

925
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 2: with the my DraftKings pick stolen bases.

926
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: Let's get crazy.

927
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: Both of these teams are amazing at stopping the run, incredible, incredible.

928
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: Bobby Withoo Junior g as like twenty five stolen base

929
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: and Michael Garcia is eighteen. I'm gonna take the over

930
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: on a Mets player, though. I think we're gonna see

931
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: Francisco Indoor run a little bit this series. I think

932
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna see him get move and he's gonna get

933
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: on base, try to make something happen because they need

934
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: to score some runs badly. So I'm taking the over

935
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: on stolen base for Francisco Indoor have to.

936
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 3: I'd like to take some unders on the Royals too,

937
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 3: because Michael Garcia one of the least a fish and

938
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 3: based dealers in the league. He's gotten caught like nine

939
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: or ten times, is he really?

940
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. He's just let's keep trying, let's keep

941
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: ripping it. Yeah, that's it all right.

Speaker 2: All right, James, let's continue on with this series preview.

958
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 2: Give us the pitching matchups. We know Code I is going.

959
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: What else do we got?

960
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: Koda is going Friday and then Sunday we're going to

961
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 3: have a situation where Shaman I is due back, but

962
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: he's apparently allegedly at this point going to piggyback with

963
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 3: Clay Holmes. That's as of right now. But Friday eight

964
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: ten Coda Sango versus Michael Waka, Saturday four to ten

965
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: Frankie Mantas versus Michael Lorenzen, and Sunday to ten the

966
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: combination of of shaum Many and Clay Holmes versus Noah Camp.

967
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: These are like weirdly well maybe not the last game,

968
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: but Senga and Walker both guys who like rely on

969
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: like a splitter slash change up to get a lot

970
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: of their outs. In game two, Michael Lorenz and Frankie

971
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 2: Montis are all fastballs all.

972
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: The time, which is kind of funny.

973
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no nonsense, and then game three is just complete chaos,

974
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: but worry about that later.

975
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: This Rul's team is a team.

976
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 3: Right I don't know they're playing well right now? Okay,

977
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: great that on they have. I think they just completed

978
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: a sweep of the Pirates another series of the Pirates

979
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 3: basically scored no runs.

980
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: After sweeping US.

981
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: There, the Royals are climbed back to win two games

982
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 3: of five hundred for the first time in about a month.

983
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: As well.

984
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: They're a team that's desperately trying to plead with their

985
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 3: management to not sell. They don't want to sell, so

986
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: I think that they're so their team has a lot

987
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: on the line with these couple of games.

988
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: I think it's important to know that because.

989
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: They've really come in low in their expectations of themselves,

990
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 3: not really of like the league and of like projections,

991
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 3: but of themselves.

992
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: They've come in much lower in expectation this year. Yeah.

993
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 2: I mean, there's kind of like three major league hitters

994
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: right now in this lineup that are playing better than

995
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: the league average, and it's Bobbywood Unior, mikel Garcia, and

996
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 2: Vinie pas Quentino. Pascuantino has been a lot better of late.

997
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: Bobbywood Junior, one of the best players in baseball. You

998
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: guys know all about him, runs like fucking lightning. Great defense,

999
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 2: can hit for some pop too, like lightning. He runs

1000
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 2: like lightning.

1001
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: MIKEL.

1002
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 2: Garcia really really good baseball player, cousin of Luisan Helakunya.

1003
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: Fun fact family ties and uh special shout out to

1004
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: Jack Caglione. He has been struggling mightily, but I advise

1005
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: you to not worry. This guy hits the baseball so

1006
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 2: frigging hard. He's also learning how to play the outfield

1007
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: while at the major league level. I don't think he

1008
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: played almost any outfield in the minor leagues. The Royals

1009
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: called him up because that's how badly they need hitting.

1010
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 3: He played in the minor league. It's been never a college, yeah,

1011
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 3: so barely. He still barely played the outfield at all.

1012
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 3: He's pretty horrible out in the outfield, looks pretty insane

1013
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 3: out there at times. But when he makes contact, and

1014
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 3: right now it's been rare, he struck out a ton.

1015
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 3: When he makes contact, he hits the ball exceptionally hard.

1016
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1017
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 3: On their last game on Wednesday, Jack Cagione hit a

1018
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: four hundred and sixty six foot home run and it

1019
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 3: looked like and honestly may have gone further than that.

1020
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: It was like the kind of home run where the

1021
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: outfielder just turned around and don't even move their feet.

1022
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: He hit that hard in that game.

1023
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 3: Salvazor Prez also with two home runs. He had a

1024
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 3: homer in the second d he's a one nothing lead,

1025
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: and then he had a home run the eighth inning

1026
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 3: to win them the game. In that one game, he

1027
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 3: wrote his ops went from about six eighty to seven

1028
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 3: to twelve from a two home run game and four

1029
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 3: hard hit balls, three of them hit over one hundred

1030
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 3: seven miles an hour. This Royals team is a team

1031
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 3: that went to the postseason last year. They're a team

1032
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 3: that made noise last year and most of the same players,

1033
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 3: like his end, they got kind of an ace dropped

1034
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 3: in miraculously, and Tompson and Chris boobish, we're not going

1035
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: to see this series, but they are.

1036
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: They're they're They're not. You're gonna look at the.

1037
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 3: Record, similar to what happened with the Oriels this week

1038
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 3: and be like, oh, the Mets have to kill this team.

1039
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: But this is a team that can play pretty solid baseball.

1040
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: They can pitch well.

1041
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 2: We if the pitcher has trouble against this lineup, we

1042
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 2: we desperately got to look at some different options because

1043
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: I know Met Killer Johnson India is there and he's

1044
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 2: a fan.

1045
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1046
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 2: Also met Fa is gonna have a huge series. I

1047
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 2: know that that's an absolute guarantee. But like some guys,

1048
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: they are young, play every single day. Nick lofton John Rave,

1049
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know who John Rave is.

1050
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,479
Speaker 1: I have no idea that guy. He's twenty seven.

1051
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: Kyle Isbell great fielder, but he's playing almost every single day.

1052
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 2: And then they're carrying three catchers, which is an interesting move.

1053
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: Cam Devaney another person who I don't know who that is,

1054
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 2: and Tyler Tolbert another player I have never heard of.

1055
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: So like, offensively, or I should say, pitching wise, we

1056
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: should be attacking. Do not let Bobby with Junior beat you.

1057
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: That is pretty much the goal of the series. Don't

1058
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: let Bobby Woo Junior beat you. Keep them off the

1059
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: base paths, keep them from you know, doing damage. The

1060
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: Mets pitching should be fine. Now, it's just a matter

1061
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: of the best show up.

1062
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that John Rave Jersey is probably

1063
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: doing numbers at those Midwest college day parties of Royal's

1064
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 3: Rave on the back. I'm sure Arkansas and Missouri they're

1065
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: probably Rocking Rave, Jersey's left and right, maybe Washington Saint Louis.

1066
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: But this pitching is is interesting.

1067
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: I want to talk about one guy who's going to

1068
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 3: see in this series, Noah Cameron watch no Camera pitch.

1069
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: It probably just like gives you butterflies at the good

1070
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 3: old days in baseball. It's a bit of a chunky

1071
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 3: lefty who's wearing Rex Specs and he just goes out there.

1072
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm gonna give you some change up, some sinkers,

1073
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 3: some slides, some curveballs, just totally mess around. He's got

1074
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 3: a two five VR and nine to six whips for

1075
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 3: sixty three major league innings with only fifty strikeouts. Now

1076
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: the old timers love that, really good keeping the ball

1077
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 3: off the barrel. Someone who has been susceptible too hard

1078
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: contact though, if you could just square him up.

1079
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: But he's he's he's a frustrating pitchers a face. Yeah,

1080
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: and they have some kind of demons as well in

1081
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: the bullpen. Carlos Estevez.

1082
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 2: We know Francisco Lindors owned him, but he's their closer.

1083
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: He's been pitching really well this year. Lucas Erseg has great,

1084
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: incredible Your boy Schreiber, right, you still you still high

1085
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: on Schreiber.

1086
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Schreiber is good.

1087
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: The only reason I thought it was cool best Schreiber

1088
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 3: because they traded like a great pitching prospect, Nick Sandler.

1089
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 3: David Sandler, Nick Sandlin, one of the Santo Sablins scat

1090
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 3: him and we all dunked on them, and they're like,

1091
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 3: what what the Royals doing?

1092
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: Why they getting a middle reliever?

1093
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 3: They suck and then they go onto the playoffs maybe

1094
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 3: like more teams strategy shit like that, but it's again,

1095
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 3: it's not This isn't like a bad team like this

1096
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 3: is a team that will if they don't sell, which

1097
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 3: I definitely might they should definitely they could keep themselves.

1098
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: In the AL wildcard race, like right to the bitter end.

1099
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 3: And the other thing that we talked about the draftings

1100
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 3: player spotlight this they're they're so good at not letting

1101
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 3: you steal bases. This is going to be a real

1102
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: rubber meets the Road matchup because the Mets, like I said,

1103
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 3: the most efficient based stealing team in the league by

1104
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 3: a good bit over the Tigers, I think, with something

1105
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: like eighty eight percent eighty nine percent success rate, inching

1106
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 3: up to ninety against the Royals this year, there have

1107
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 3: been twenty successful stolen bases and sixteen.

1108
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: Players cost stealing. That's crazy.

1109
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: There have been thirty six attempted stolen bases against them.

1110
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 3: Almost every single team baseball stolen more than thirty six

1111
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 3: bases so far as a team, and the Royals have

1112
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 3: only only thirty six have been attempted twenty successful. I'm

1113
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 3: gonna get that stat right now for you. Every single

1114
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: team except the Detroit Tigers, the only team that is

1115
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 3: near the Mets in efficiency, have stolen at least thirty

1116
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 3: six bases this year.

1117
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: Good stat. Freddy for me and Salvey have just been

1118
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: gunning guys out.

1119
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 2: And I know that.

1120
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: I mean Salvi's he's just he's a legend. It's a

1121
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: constant professional.

1122
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: I know he's the World two years VP in the

1123
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: year that we lost to them, But man, I fucking

1124
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 2: respect them.

1125
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: Salve can't hate him. And Freddy's for meen is a

1126
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: bit of a demon himself.

1127
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 3: He's not exactly the most like obvious, like great player,

1128
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 3: like you've heard about Freddy for me and you watch

1129
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 3: Freddy for me, and he's a great defensive player and

1130
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 3: he's a really.

1131
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 2: Good athlete from the catcher position. How old is Freddy

1132
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 2: for mean twenty seven thirty. Wow, he's five years younger

1133
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: than Salvadro Perez. It feels like they're from different errors.

1134
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: Five there are from different ras. Once just took a

1135
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: long time. I gotta call up at one.

1136
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 2: Well, he could have been like a senior in high

1137
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: school and Salve would have been like his upper classman.

1138
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: Like again, like this at the end of the day,

1139
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: like this is you.

1140
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 3: You saved this road trip, you'd be two or three

1141
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: from this team. I started going against the last series

1142
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 3: three to three road trip, but you kind of you're.

1143
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: Okay with that. So God went to out of three.

1144
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 3: That eight o'clock game Friday is kind of fun, honestly,

1145
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 3: and then the four in the two. But just let's

1146
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 3: plays some good baseball.

1147
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: There's Michael wak is gonna be really annoying to face.

1148
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 3: I was telling you guys right now, he's been He's

1149
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 3: had a good season, especially relative expectations on Michael Walker.

1150
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,919
Speaker 3: I think there's a bad start recently, but I'm pretty

1151
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: sure the full season stats are still just God three.

1152
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: That's fine, it's good. But he's he's he's Michael Walker.

1153
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: You faced Michael Walk a lot over the years. It's

1154
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: very difficult pitch in the face. We got Frankie Peppers

1155
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: to close us out here. Dreams. I think I think

1156
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: we started too fast. You don't have them.

1157
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair, that's understandable. Frankie. Hope to hear
