1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: What is Up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast. Just wrapped up a three

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: game series out in LA where James actually happens to

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: be got out to a game today. Mets took the

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: series two out of three games, which is fantastic because

6
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, as we know, are always a very good team.

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: This year they're a little bit different than we see

8
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: in the past, but still very very solid. The Mets

9
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: to go into La win a series absolutely huge, James,

10
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: I know you were at the games. How are the

11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: vibes out in La?

12
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: Two vibes out in La? Just so vibe La in general,

13
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: of course, but just being at Dodger Stadium, first time

14
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: I've ever been there. It's only besides last year Camden Yards.

15
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: Those like these are the first two news games I've

16
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: been to in a very long time. It's just very

17
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: fun to always go to a new ballpark and just

18
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: it's a whole new field people. I don't know, it's

19
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: very It's very different than going to a game in

20
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: New York like there. I have a note tap on

21
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: my phone I was keeping of the game today. The highlight,

22
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: the weirdest and craziest things I saw. One of the

23
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: funniest things was that I ran into someone getting a

24
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: threadhead down the tunnel when I walked in Mike Nikki's jersey.

25
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: I think his name was Charlie, but I forget so

26
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: shout you out listening to the podcast. Had a nice

27
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: conversation him and his son, and we were just talking

28
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: and there are these like seats around the concourse where

29
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: like you're sitting like you're not in the in the stands,

30
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: but you're on like a high top chair like with

31
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: a little table like for concessions whatever. So so you know,

32
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: you ever really know if those are the tickets that

33
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: are like bought and sold or just places to chill.

34
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: So we're sitting there talking and security guard walks over.

35
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, guys, you have do Do you have

36
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: tickets for these seats? And we're like no. He's like, oh,

37
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I don't have to ask you. The

38
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: move field paid for these tickets. We're like, okay, no,

39
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: worries man. He's like, yeah, so sorry to kill the vibe.

40
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: Like security guard apologized for killing the vibe for doing

41
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: his job, which I thought was really funny. One some

42
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: other things happened to that you guys might not have

43
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: seen on TV. There was someone who ran on the

44
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: field right after the David Peralta home run. He got

45
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: all the way to the infield. He got tackled, like

46
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: in between first and second base.

47
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Dodger Stadium security has been kind of like,

48
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to say in the headlines, but it's

49
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: been getting some press recently because you had the guy

50
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: who proposed to his girlfriend and got absolutely leveled. Yeah, crushed.

51
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: That was one of the best hits I've ever seen

52
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: on a baseball field.

53
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: The kid today, he had a nice duke move at

54
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: the end. He didn't get a solid hit. I sad

55
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: security guard was really trying to line them up, but

56
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: he he dipped in dodge a little bit, and he

57
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: came from the outfield from center fields where I was sitting.

58
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: So me and my friend who I was hanging with

59
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: watching him hop over the fence, we were like, oh

60
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. And then

61
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: this kid's friends very clearly like had their phones out

62
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: going over the tunnel watching him get like taken out handcuffs.

63
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: So that was just California teens are fearless. There were

64
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: a lot of Mets fans there too. Today don't know

65
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: if you guys can STANDTV, especially behind first base, which

66
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: was where which is where the Metsugut was, which is

67
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: weird because City Field the Mets h home are also

68
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: behind first base.

69
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: It's completely up to the stadium because like every stadium

70
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: is different with whether they put the home team or

71
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: not for sure, So that was cool with a lot

72
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: of people.

73
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: There was also Kids Day in a noon local time,

74
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: so there were a billion children screaming.

75
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: About it in school.

76
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: I said the same thing. I wouldn't believe it. There

77
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: were like so many different cohorts of like elementary schools

78
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: at the game, like they were honorary on the screen.

79
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: They were waving on the jumbo tron and they were

80
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: so so freaking loud, preamy much ice s cream.

81
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Westfield really slack and not sending any elementary schools to games.

82
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: We never I never went to a sporting event with

83
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: my school. That's crazy.

84
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: But the other side that is how far you think

85
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: was Westfield in Jersey from City Field? That could be

86
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: hours to get there. This was probably a mile and

87
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: a half is right there. They were also I knew

88
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: like you're in LA, like, there's gonna be this, but

89
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: I was shocked by it. I think the number one

90
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: jersey I saw in Dodger Stadium was Kobe Bryant. That

91
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: makes sense, like, and it was Dodgers Lakers eight and

92
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: twenty four and like a couple Lower Marians. Of course

93
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: they were absolutely everywhere. Every single jersey was Kobe Bryant,

94
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: some other ones here.

95
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: Uh, how was the traffic? How was the traffic getting there?

96
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: So traffic wasn't that bad? I did a bunch of

97
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: Reddit research beforehand, which is of course I love to

98
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: do that. And apparently, like the hack for the locals

99
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: is you drive to Union Station, which is like in

100
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: downtown LA, but a few miles ahead of the stadium.

101
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: You park there. It's like ten bucks to park there,

102
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: and you hop on the shuttle. It takes you there

103
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: free with game ticket and drops you off right by

104
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: the cidernfield interest and you walk right in.

105
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Wow, that's good to know. I'm gonna use that now

106
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: because if it's if I'm able to go to more

107
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: Dodgers games, I will visit La more. But the traffic

108
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: when I went to the one where Pools hit seven

109
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: hundred it was like it turned me off. I'm like,

110
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: I don't really ever want to come back here for sure.

111
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: And we got buried a little bit on the way back,

112
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: but like it wasn't really that bad. It seemed like normal,

113
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: like any kind of big city traffic.

114
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: And here's another one. It was kid's day, right, so

115
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: their kids like screaming for ice cream all around me.

116
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: One kid was just hounding the ice cream guy, going

117
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: up and down the sections for like two straighten things.

118
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 2: The guy kept like brushing him off. He's like this

119
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: eight year old yelling at me, he probably have any money.

120
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: So eventually he's like, you got you got money, and

121
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: the kid's like, hey, holds up a credit card. Guy's

122
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: all right, So he walks over the rendezvous, gives him

123
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: an ice cream sandwich, gives him a credit card. The

124
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: kid opens the ice cream sandwich, devours it in a

125
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: half a second. He was basically done with it. And

126
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: the guy's like, this credit card doesn't work, and he

127
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: goes to the kid like, do you have anything else?

128
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: Do you have cash? You have another car? The kid's

129
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: like no, and that was it. You guys said the

130
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: walk away and eat it.

131
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: What a good scam. That kid was running.

132
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the kid was being genuine from being honest.

133
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: It was really funny that the guy was super hesitating

134
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: to give the kid time of day actually accept his

135
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: foreign payment. The payment did wind up bounce.

136
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Like no, I mean that's you feel bad for the kid.

137
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure he wasn't actually, of course.

138
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: And then the last thing I want to mention that

139
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: was just cool that sud know something you and I

140
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: like like just wrap him. But music a ton of

141
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: that going on in the stadium the entire game. Just

142
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: they're playing a lot of Tupac Doctor Dre like Snoop,

143
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: like in between innings, like on the organ to like

144
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: lead into Letco Dodgers. And the craziest thing by far,

145
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: every team in baseball has seventh inning stretch and in

146
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: their own song, you know, like the mess seventh Thing

147
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: set stretch and the Cella Luna. The Red Sox do

148
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: the seventh Thing stretch and the Sweet Caroline the Dodgers

149
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: did the seventh inning stretch into the rough Rider's anthem

150
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: by DMX. Wow, it was first of all, he's an

151
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: East Coast rapper, He's from Yonkers Like that's yeah, wait

152
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: what yeah, Like I was sitting there like this can't

153
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: actually be on right now, like that's an intense, vulgar song,

154
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: and they were. It was the clean version, of course,

155
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: but I was like, I literally can't believe I'm sitting

156
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: in the Dodger Stadium at one forty five in the

157
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: afternoon and DMX is playing on the speakers.

158
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: But it is an absolute heater though. It's about a

159
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: total banger.

160
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, those are those are the sights and sounds

161
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: from Dodger Stadium. Definitely.

162
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, Dodger seems pretty cool. Did you get a

163
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Dodger dog or no? Because of the gluten?

164
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: The gluten, yeah, I mean I'll dodge. Dodger Stadium does

165
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: the same thing that City does where you can just

166
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: like bring some snacks. So I just brought a couple

167
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: of snacks on the Communis Star beforehand. A nice assortment.

168
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course in this game. In this series two,

169
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: we have the big big thing that happened in game

170
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: three to talk about, which is Max Scherzer getting ejected

171
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: early for sticky stuff, which ends up as a Max

172
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Scherzer saying it's rosen like, I mean he was swearing

173
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: up and down like that. He's not cheating. This is

174
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: rosin is completely legal. We will talk about it a

175
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: little bit more because there is new information that has

176
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: been coming out since the game ended, but we might

177
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: as well start with Game one here, which you know,

178
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: Mets Dodgers. This was like a pretty awesome.

179
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: Game, dude, overall, I mean this series, just between games

180
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: one and three, it was two I think, the best

181
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: all around games the Mets might have played the entire

182
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: season thus far. Just like back and forth, baseball didn't

183
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: quit never like never settled for anything, just kept grinding

184
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: and grinding and grinding. And you really felt that a

185
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: lot in Game one, just because there wasn't even a

186
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: moment in this game until that, like until like like

187
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: to each team has scored a few times where a

188
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: team scored multiple times in a row. It was the

189
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: Freeman homer, the Voge homer, the wins double, the Mets rally,

190
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: and then the Freeman homer, and then the Munsi homer,

191
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: and then the Mets of the rally to come back.

192
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: So it was like just super back and forth, back

193
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: and forth, back and forth. No team with a strong

194
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: enough punch and knocked the other guy out.

195
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Dodgers, Will Smith was hurt, so

196
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Austin Wins was in the lineup. Before the game, I

197
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: was like, oh, Austin Wins is in the lineup. Great,

198
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: and then I said it out loud, I go, oh,

199
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: I means he's gonna do something. And when he hit

200
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: the double, like it it was a lock that Austin

201
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: Wins was gonna get a big hit. Ended up not

202
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: mattering in this game because they ended up winning this one.

203
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: But the other thing too, Mookie Betts's paternity to leave,

204
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: so he didn't play at all in this series, which

205
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: was a huge Like for once in our lives as

206
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: Mets fans, we get a break here where two of

207
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: the best players on the Dodgers are not in the

208
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: lineup for other things going on, which I take that

209
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: every single day of the week.

210
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was definitely very nice, still wins against the

211
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: Dodgers in the scorecard, but definitely knowing that I was

212
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: really excited for today. So there was rumors that Mooki

213
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: Best was gonna be activating to play short stop. Yeah,

214
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: and that would have been a really cool thing to

215
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: be able to see live. Mokie Best's first major league

216
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: appearance has a short stop, but I digress it didn't

217
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 2: get to happen, and it was a still fun series overall.

218
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: Shout out me because I was hyping up Dustin day

219
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: a ton before Mondays, before Monday Night's game, and this

220
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: was his worst start of the season by far. He's

221
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: been mowing guys down left and right. And another guy

222
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: I love, alex Vestia. We got to him multiple times

223
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: this year. It's just forgot to mention him on Sunday,

224
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: so you guys are all welcome.

225
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: So with Dustin May he struck out Nimo first batter

226
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: of the game and then did not strike out anybody

227
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the game, only had one strikeout. And

228
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: with Vessi, I Veski has had a horrendous year. So

229
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: when you didn't shout him out, I figured it was

230
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: just because you were like, oh, he's been playing so poorly.

231
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: I think Ron and Keith and all them we're talking

232
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: about on the broadcast today that Vessian like six innings

233
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: had given up like nineteen hits or something astronomical. He's

234
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: just been a complete mess. He does have great stuff,

235
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: but like you said, the Mets got to him, which

236
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,359
Speaker 1: was very, very nice. Shout out to the James Jinks

237
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: strong as ever.

238
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: Only when it's natural. I can't do it on purpose.

239
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: It's a power that I know I have, but it's

240
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: not controllable, so I apologize everybody for that. But whenever

241
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 2: it hits, it's gonna hit. And then I also want

242
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: to talk about David Peers in this game, because this

243
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: was an awesome baseball game. Like Repey got the big hit,

244
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: like the offense picked it up, bullpen was good overall,

245
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: and Peterson, while he got hit hard, I do think

246
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: this was just actually kind of sneakily a pretty good

247
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: start for him overall.

248
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that because my dad went to

249
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: sleep early. It's a West Coast game, like everybody's tired.

250
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: These games run late. But with this one, I'm glad

251
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: that you said because when I was explaining to my

252
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: dad the game, I was again. The Mets won eight

253
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: to six, and Peterson gave up six runs. But he

254
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: pitched well, which doesn't really make sense when you say

255
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: it out loud, but he kind of made like three

256
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: or four mistakes and they just happened to go over

257
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: the wall. Basically, no, literally, he gave up the home

258
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: run to Freeman, it gave two home runs to Freeman

259
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: one to Monthie hilariously, the only I think lefties that

260
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: were in the Dodgers lineup against the lefty pitcher. They're

261
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: very good at mixing game matching. We saw that ad

262
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: nauseum in this series with pitchers and hitters.

263
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 2: They're so many. They send up every single guy in

264
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: the roster to play at every single game. They're doing

265
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: multiple pitching changes as much as possible. Also, the Mets

266
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 2: allowed lefties stacked on Wednesday, so I made a little

267
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: be easier for them to do that, but they took

268
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: all the lefties out of the line up besides for

269
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 2: Freeman and Muncie, and they were the only ones who

270
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: really did significant damage. Besides that ridiculous wins hit against

271
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: against David Peterson, it saw something interesting that Peterson did

272
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: with such a righty heavy lineup. He dead Slider's been

273
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: a good weapon for him against Riley's in the past,

274
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: and he did throw it a lot and it was

275
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: pretty effective on Monday night, but he brought the change

276
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: up back in a really big way. It was his

277
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: most thrown pitch of the entire night, which something he

278
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: has done a very long time, and it got five

279
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: withs and eight calls strikes, highest called strike call him

280
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: WIF strike rate, Freandy pitch. He had this game so

281
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: cool to see that while they stacked the lineup with

282
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: Riley's he adjusted back with a change up. And again

283
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: the lefties are the ones who did the damage off him,

284
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: of course, but like he was on hitters, he was

285
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: throwing strikes. He didn't walk anybody, which was really awesome,

286
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: and sometimes he just had made a couple of mistakes

287
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: and all your mistakes. The other guys hit hard and

288
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 2: his team picked him up so great, and.

289
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: It was the four team I think that Freddy Freeman

290
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: hit the home runs off of I think he was

291
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: just leaving the four team down the middle. And I mean,

292
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: like Freddy Freeman is one of the best hitters in baseball,

293
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: and Max Muncy crushes left handed pitching this year, so

294
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: in particular, he's been crushing it. And of course he

295
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: got hot like right before we played them. But like

296
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: we said, in this game, it didn't end up mattering

297
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: because the offense really did show up. We've been telling

298
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: you guys from the start of this podcast, the offense

299
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be okay. There are hitters in this lineup,

300
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: and especially actually with the development of Brandon Nimo at

301
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: the top of the order and the way that this

302
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: guy's been playing this year. He got that check, he

303
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: got the bag, and he has been playing better than

304
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: he ever has in his career right now. Off to

305
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: an incredible start. In this game, he was three for five.

306
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso just playing out of his mind right now.

307
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: We kind of talked about a last episode how Pete's

308
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: just like Loki, gonna put together an MVP season and

309
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: different than the year's past because now he's not chasing,

310
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: he's not swinging to missing it as much, and he's

311
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: still hitting for the same power. And he had some

312
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: incredible at bats in this game too. We were talking

313
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: in the group chat, I'm like, wow, Pete, is that dude? Man, Like,

314
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: he's just so good now. He's legit one of the

315
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: best hitters in baseball.

316
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: There's not really any way to say that in different

317
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: way than the amount of power that he gets, which

318
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: is basically he's like the best power hitter in baseball

319
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: as it is, and the fact that he's a above

320
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: average streakout guy now, a well above average walk great guy,

321
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: and a well above average chaser guy like that's that

322
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: is the toolbox of being one of the best hitters

323
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: in baseball, Like that's what Freddie Freeman does, but with

324
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: less power. Yes, ruthfully, it's like it's like weird for

325
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: people to hear that and think about that, because he

326
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: kind of has this Pete kind of had his own

327
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: identity that people have given to him already. He's we

328
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: know Pete. We love Pete. Everything he does endearing to

329
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: us because we're Mets fans. But I can definitely see

330
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: how the outside something you do can seem a little

331
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: bit goofy and able people see it think he's just

332
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: like trying to be something. He just seems like he's

333
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: really genuine all the time, and he's amazing hitting baseballs.

334
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: And another guy amazing hitting baseball is brand Nemo. Beginning

335
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: of a great series for him. He had nice double

336
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: in this game, three hits. He made that lights out

337
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: play in center field at the end of the game.

338
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: It was eight or ninth inning.

339
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: A Cara car right now, that was the ninth inning.

340
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: I believe.

341
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, just again, they make everything feel a little bit

342
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: safer in a tight game. I said, fourteen hits in

343
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: this one too. It was just this was a game

344
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: where every single guy kept going and going and going.

345
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: He never gave the Dodgers a break.

346
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: And you mentioned that home run by Vogel back earlier too,

347
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: which I think is important to know because it was

348
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: the first time run the season. He had another great

349
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: game too, like he was getting on base, driving in runs,

350
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: like just doing his thing. And they used Tommy fam

351
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: in the perfect scenario when they brought in I guess

352
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: it was Vesier, right. They intentionally walked Tommy fam the

353
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: first time, and then he worked another walk which helped,

354
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, build some runs later in the game. Jeff

355
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: McNeil finally got off to Schneid too. He had a

356
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: three for five day, another solid series. I think it

357
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: ended up being for him, which was good because he

358
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: had been struggling a little bit, so he had a

359
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: nice game. Everybody pretty much showed up in this one

360
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: for the Mets, which was really really huge. Lindor the

361
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: only guy not to get a hit in Game one.

362
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: Actually Nido had one too.

363
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Lindor put the pressure on Phil bickfer it

364
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: to balk in the what turned out to be the

365
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: winning run. So that was very important from you know,

366
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: team leither no.

367
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. That's the kind of stuff that he does.

368
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: And like you talked about the Nemo catch too, like

369
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: he's just in front of our eyes become just like

370
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: a premier player in baseball. And it's it's kind of

371
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: the same thing like you were talking about with Pete,

372
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: Like people on the outside will like probably laugh and

373
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: scoff at like the comments that we're saying here, but

374
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: the numbers and all the stuff backing up, Like Nimo

375
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: is elite in center field. There's there's no way around it.

376
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: He plays elite center field defense. He's been incredible at

377
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: the plate this year, starting to barrel the ball a

378
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: little bit more than we've seen in the past. Like

379
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: there's a real chance that brand Nemo is going to

380
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: be on his first All Star team this.

381
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: Year, Like honestly, there's no other way to really slice it.

382
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: Like Brand Nimo is hitting three fifty five for five

383
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 2: day on Wednesday. We're going to dive into more in

384
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: a little bit. Brand Nemo has walked more than twice

385
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: as much as he struck out so far this season.

386
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: Like Brand like it's every everything's happening, stealing basis for

387
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: the first time, Like the power is not really there,

388
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: but the power has never really been there. There there

389
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: If he's getting a twelve homers from the leadoff spot

390
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: with elite everything else, including defense, There's really not that

391
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: many center fielders I'd rather have in baseball. And Brandon

392
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: Nemo and end we gotta mentioned this game too, you

393
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: guys heard there or emergency episode late Monday, Brett baby

394
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: May's season debut and got a nice RBI single to

395
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: keep maintain a rally and kind of was a big

396
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: catalyst in the Mets maintaining their spot in this game.

397
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: And granted in the series, I think that was his

398
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: only hit of the series thus far. But Andrew, he

399
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: had been hitting the ball, hitting the ball pretty hard,

400
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: and he'd been pulling the ball so more and more

401
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: things that you'd like to see. He really wasn't going

402
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: the other way. Granted they were pretty much all in

403
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: the ground, but he was pulling the baseball, which is

404
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: something you said you want to see him do a

405
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: little bit more.

406
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the endlifting, of course, it's it's not gonna

407
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: be instantaneous. Now we know that. Like we know that,

408
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: I mean even Alvarez like it's it's it's growing pains

409
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: for all these this is their first exposure of the

410
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: major leagues. I'm look at another team who we talk

411
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: about and think about, and like, see a lot of

412
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Phillies. We're seeing two big breakouts for them this year.

413
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott. Like, those guys combined have

414
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: almost a thousand Major League Baseball at bats already. Yeah,

415
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: Brandon Marsh too is another good example. Brett Bay and

416
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: Francis Grobberts don't even have near one hundred combined. No, So,

417
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: like it takes a long time for these guys to

418
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: get it together, and like maybe it's takes shorter for

419
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: these guys because I think there are better prospects those

420
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: guys we just mentioned. But it's a learning process. This

421
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: is the biggest adjustment in sports, and they're doing it

422
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: on the fly in front of our eyes.

423
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: Also want to give a big shout to Drew Smith,

424
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: who had a good series. Got a big strikeout against

425
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Miguel Vargas in this game late when he came in

426
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: for Brooks Raley the fastball that he's been elevating. You

427
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: sent me the tweet. Who was it from Petriello? Friend

428
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: of the podcast. Maybe, but he's been elevating that fastball

429
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: and it's just like not been getting touched.

430
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: And you guys remember from an interview Drew Chains a

431
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: few months ago, he said his favorite pitch to get

432
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: guys with is that fastball. He said, you get a

433
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: guy with your either really feels like you got them.

434
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Yes, no, So I mean glad to see Drew Smith

435
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: playing well doing this thing out in the bullpen. We

436
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: can move it on to Game two now, because Game

437
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: two kind of quick. Uh. Clinton Kershaw did that thing

438
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: where he owns the Mets, because he owns the Mets.

439
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just kind of how it is.

440
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. This was Clinton Kershaw's seventeenth game against the Mets

441
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: in the regular season. His career one hundred and ten innings,

442
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: he is eleven to zero with a two point zero

443
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: three ERA and a zero point ninety nine weip.

444
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: He should have got the loss. Last year. We let

445
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: him off the hook when they actually finally beat him

446
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: for once. But then you know, the game happened, Things

447
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: got a little bit crazy.

448
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever, we did beat him for once actually when

449
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: that was in the playoffs. So I will take every

450
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: single one of these regular season losses to have won

451
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: that series in twenty fifteen.

452
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: Well, he's a regular season champion. He's only one twenty

453
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: five percent of an actual world series.

454
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: I no, twenty seven percent.

455
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: It would have been great if the Dodgers never won

456
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: that one in twenty twenty, because boy oh boy, like

457
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: they really hold on to that one. They grasp at pearls.

458
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: But it makes it perfect that they won it and

459
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: the Lakers won it together. Like maybe I'm just in La,

460
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: so I'm seeing all this like Dodgers Lakers championship apparel, Like, guys,

461
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: lose it. Sorry if you put that one in the

462
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: lock the ones is that year actually cursed? Damn? But yeah,

463
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: like I just want to tell them these people like

464
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: you guys know you never won any of the championships, right,

465
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: like it was ridiculous. Yeah, if Lebron finds his fourth

466
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: championship this year, I'll be down pretty bad. But I'm

467
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: confide I'll never get that fourth one.

468
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: It's an uphill battle. That Lakers team is not very

469
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: good this year.

470
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: The lakercy is gonna it looks like it might walk

471
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: to the conference finals because John Moran's not playing basketball

472
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: talking a how much you guys love to talking about

473
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: other sports and and the Kings. The Kings are just

474
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: bodying the Warriors, so it's gonna be Lebron versus the

475
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: Kings and the conference. Semi's like, who do you think

476
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: is gonna win? That?

477
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: Probably Lebron me.

478
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I gotta get out of LA before any

479
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: of that happens, but I digress. I will, so it's okay.

480
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: The game though, Yeah, Clinkersher also got his two hundredth

481
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: win of his career.

482
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, which was nice. They were really they're really going

483
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: crazy about that in the broadcast. I have found that

484
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: it might just be because I'm in LA right now

485
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: and I couldn't use MLB TV because I'm in LA,

486
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: so I couldn't get the game. The other streaming sits

487
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: that people like to use sometimes were absolutely battened down

488
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: this series to access these games, like I was sitting

489
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: with my friend on the couch, like watching NBA players,

490
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: like listening to Keith rat and Pat McCarthy on the radio.

491
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: Because first of all, Monday Night the only every single

492
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: website that had Mets streams available and went right to

493
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: NFL Network.

494
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: Interesting.

495
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: It was one of the strangest thing ever and last night.

496
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: They were just all like blacked out. I was like,

497
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: what the heck is going on right now? So it's

498
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: a lot of radio for me this weekend. But this

499
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: game fell kind of dead on arrival when Brandon Nemo

500
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: led off the game with the little league tripple and then

501
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: Clayton Gershaw went Marte Lindora Alonzo back to back to

502
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: back punches, and I was like, Oh, the good stuff

503
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: is here tonight.

504
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, Kershaw was absolutely locked in. Like you said,

505
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 1: he kind of turns it up against the Mets, and

506
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: he showed a lot of emotion in this one too.

507
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Clayton Kershaw really ever show this level

508
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: of emotion, especially in a regular season game. But when

509
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: he got that big strikeout late in the game, who

510
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: was up against? I forgot who was Tommy Fam.

511
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: When you strike out to Tommy Fam, like you freak

512
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: out because you just got like one of the best

513
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: hitters in baseball to go down like you need everything

514
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: you can get there.

515
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: Kershaw literally like came off the mound like screaming, like

516
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: almost like just I've never seen him react like that.

517
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: He went crazy, and I guess you know, Dodgers fans

518
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: haven't had much to celebrate recently, so breat in regular

519
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: season games big again.

520
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you beat the Mets. That's like a marque

521
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: team in baseball, Like that's one of the pillars of

522
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: like National League supremacy. Like they know that, like.

523
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: They I text you, I texted you, I said, Mets

524
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: are in some teams heads. If that's the reaction we're getting.

525
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: In April, I mean again, we also kind of bothered

526
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: them last year in both regular season series. We got

527
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: him two out of three and we got the three

528
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: out of four. Like this seems like this is kind

529
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: of something that the Dodgers would like to beat the mess.

530
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: We also have that big playoff series went over them.

531
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: I'm sure that they won't soon forget.

532
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: No, no, of course not. The Mets kind of bodied

533
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: them again in this series, but yeah, they got Game two.

534
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Britt Baity did hit like a ball that

535
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: was smoked at one point, but I just found a

536
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: glove and that felt like the moment that we needed

537
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: for maybe a chance to come back, and then that.

538
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: Was kind of it. Shout out Francisco Alvarez pinch running.

539
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: I'm sure he didn't he's ever done that before. That

540
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: It must have been like me, you want me to run?

541
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, get the guy in the game. However

542
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: he can.

543
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 2: I'm cool with that definitely. And I mean J D. Martinez,

544
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: who's like one of the best hitters of this like

545
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: last era of baseball was one man wrecking crew. He

546
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: just seemed to really know exactly when Tyler McGill was

547
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: gonna throw him a pitch right down the middle, and

548
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: he would just hit a home run every single time,

549
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: four for four in this game. You gotta gotta tip

550
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 2: your cat to the stud. Yeah, what do you got

551
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: on McGill? How do you how do you think that

552
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: he pitched? Like what's the weather?

553
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: The deeper numbers telling you it was.

554
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: I looked again, this was a radio game, so I

555
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: looked back today like watch Condensed, and I looked at

556
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: the pitch tracker for this game. The illustrator like that

557
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: savant shows and really weird. He was throwing everything low

558
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: and away this game, which is really uncommon for McGill,

559
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: like because as we've seen him throw most of his careers.

560
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: When a power pitchers preferred to work up in his

561
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: zone and let those breakers fall down below. So that

562
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: was very weird that he was focusing a lot of

563
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: his efforts on fastballs. Low kind of weird. I don't again,

564
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was just a weird like

565
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: adjustment for this game, maybe something about the Dodgers swing pass.

566
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on there, but it was

567
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: just it was also then came out to be like

568
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 2: every other start for McGill's, here where heid battle. This

569
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: time the other team was just simply better. But there

570
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 2: was one thing that was really cool that he did.

571
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: He got back up in ninety six miles an hour

572
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: today yesterday Tuesday for the first time this year. And

573
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: that was the second last fastball of the game. Okay,

574
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: so that he threw his fastest fastballs the second to

575
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: last one. So it seems like McGill's I think, had

576
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: this little bit within himself and within York, like just

577
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: just try and manage his effort a little bit, better

578
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 2: manage how much he's giving, how much juicy he's giving

579
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: there and there definitely staying healthy, as he mentioned to

580
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: us in the spring, So cool that he might be

581
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: getting a little bit better understanding his body to the

582
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 2: point where he can he had the juice to get

583
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: that big pitch off right at the end.

584
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean Miguel has been great. Like again,

585
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers line up pretty solid, Jadie Martinez, like you said,

586
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: just kind of had a day. You do have one

587
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: picture though to talk about here, James. Yeah, your boy

588
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: Jeff did the Brigham. The Brigham minute is back. What

589
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: do you got for us from game two?

590
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: Jeff Brigham looked disgusting. What else am I gonna say?

591
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: Like?

592
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: He threw six sweepers versus only one fastball, He got

593
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: three riffs on four swings. He had that great, that

594
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: bad against Vargus, who doesn't really ever chase and he

595
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: froze him with a couple of nice sweepers, which I

596
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: thought was cool. And he came in again on Wednesday,

597
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 2: he looked he went at bad. He looked awesome again.

598
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: I think it was also against Vargas, yes, which maybe

599
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: gregs his number.

600
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: I don't know.

601
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got, he got, he made look at a

602
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: couple strikes and got him to pop up. And I

603
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: was just like, I mean, you guys see it when

604
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: you watch that slider, It's like that thing is spinning

605
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: right there. It's a really good pitch and the main

606
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: Cabby I gave about Bringham, we're still under a minute.

607
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 2: The main cabby they gave about bring him in the

608
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: spring was that, like, if you got that either back

609
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: to where it was a few years ago, this guy

610
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: could be elite. Elite. It's not there. It's sitting like

611
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 2: ninety four right now, which to where it was in

612
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: the spring, so we're probably not getting about ninety five

613
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: this year. I honestly thought that they were gonna call

614
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: him up for bulk too, because he's been throwing a

615
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 2: lot of pitches, but using him for I think it

616
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: was like twenty total pitches to get like three or

617
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: four batteries out in two days. Looks like he's gonna

618
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: just be one of these middle reliever firement type. I'm

619
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: all in. If you guys been listening to this podcast,

620
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: you know, I'm all in. I hope everyone's getting on

621
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: to bring a wagon with me. We're bringing him young

622
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: and we're bringing him hard.

623
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: So Jeff Brigham, Tommy fam I asked you about Tommy

624
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: Famer is the guy you want to interview the most

625
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: If you had to pick one to interview, who's the guy?

626
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean definitely both of them. And also

627
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: I really just like in general, like the interview David Robertson,

628
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,239
Speaker 2: he just is really good. It seems super interesting. I mean,

629
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: I want to interview every player in the Mets like that.

630
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: That's a good goal for us this year. We want

631
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 2: to get every single guy who wears a jersey. But

632
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: if it was either of them and might I think

633
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: break up. I just I'll be like, hey, man, I

634
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: think you're awesome. Like I think I'll be able to

635
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: be more flattery with him, but Tommy family be more intimidated.

636
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: Jeff, I'll send you the time stamp every episode it's

637
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: the Brigham minute, and I gas you up. And for

638
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: good reason. I'm a believer, man, I'm a Brigham believer.

639
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put in the log right now for Keeper

640
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: VI THO twenty three thirty The Break, the Brigham Minute.

641
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: The Brigham Minute. There's no other podcast that you could

642
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: ever listen to that will have this much Jeff Brigham

643
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: gassing up here. But that's what you'd come to with

644
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: the Mets Up podcast. We love talking about sometimes not

645
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: all the stars. We love talking about them. You know

646
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: about them, they're great. They don't need to be spoken

647
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: for all the time. But the Jeff Brigham's of the team.

648
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: They have to an honestly, game three we will be

649
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: talking about another Jeff Brigham of the world because in

650
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: Game three, as we know, the main story here is

651
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: Max Ers are getting ejected before the fourth inning started

652
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: on his way out to the fourth inning for sticky stuff.

653
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: So let's set the table here. Because first enning, Max

654
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: Suers I think, ran to a little bit of trouble.

655
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: He ended up finding it and sorting it out towards

656
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: the end, but at the going out in the third inning,

657
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: umpire Phil Cuzzy wanted to check Max Suers before he

658
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: went out onto the field, which is something I didn't

659
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: know they do. I thought it was only after the innings,

660
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: but he checked him before the inning put his hand

661
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: in his glove, which Keith Nandez and Ron were like,

662
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: I don't like that. You don't put your hand in

663
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: my glove, Like that's my glove. I'd have a problem

664
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: with that, And I agree Phil, because he shouldn't be

665
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: putting his entire hand in the glove anywhere like that.

666
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: But he felt that there was a substance that was

667
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: a little bit too sticky in the glove, so he

668
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: told Max to go change it. Max ran to the dugout,

669
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: got a new glove, went out for the third inning,

670
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: pitch completely fine. Fourth inning, same thing happens again.

671
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: Max also said that in between those innings he washed

672
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: his hand with alcohol.

673
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: Yes, and he did it in front of an MLB official.

674
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: He said, there was an MLB official who literally watched

675
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: me and examined me do it. They saw what was

676
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: going on. Fourth inning, he comes out Phil because he says,

677
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: let me see it again. He starts touching the glove,

678
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: starts touching his hands, has a big problem with the stickiness.

679
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: And I think it was Dan Bellino, right, who was

680
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: technically the crew chief. What did he say? Because I

681
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: read the tweet and it was absurd. It was the

682
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: most like made up nonsense. I need to cover my veto.

683
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: Sorry to curse again, but I need to cover my

684
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: of like we kind of messed up up here, but

685
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: I have to kind of go with my guy Phil Cuzzy.

686
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the words, the words he are kind of

687
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 2: important because it seemed like one of those like scenes

688
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: from like like a satirical TV show. You just started,

689
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: like someone just starts saying things to try and like

690
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 2: make a joke, but it was real as far as

691
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: stickiness level of stickiness, this was the stickiest that has

692
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: that it has been since I've been inspecting hands, which

693
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: goes back three seasons now.

694
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, ridiculous sentence. And Max Scherzer, as you can imagine,

695
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: was up in arms. Was livid about this because he

696
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: got ejected from the game. He was saying up and down, like,

697
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's rosin and sweat. This is completely legal.

698
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: You're allowed to use rosin. This is given to us

699
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: by Major League Baseball. If it's sticky, that's not That's

700
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: not my fault. This is what the rosin is. That

701
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: like rosin plus sweat. It's been happening for years and

702
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: years and years. This is exactly how you get grip

703
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: on the ball. He's like, I don't use rosin to

704
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: make the ball slippery, or I use it because it

705
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: gives me a better grip, and that's what I use.

706
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: Ejected from the game. Uh, just a bit of a

707
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: crazy scenario, especially when you find out that there have

708
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: been three players since the sticky stuff crackdown that have

709
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: been ejected from games, and they've all been by Phil Cuzzy.

710
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: I'm Still I still want to refute that that was

711
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: something that went around. I want to see if that's

712
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: actually real because one of the one of the times

713
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 2: that there was an injection was also Max Scherzer, and

714
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: it was when he was a Diamondback.

715
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: No, that wasn't him.

716
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: Oh that picture was not with Max Scherzer.

717
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: No, That's why I was so confused. When you're like

718
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: Max Shurser Diamondback, I'm like, he never wore those Diamondbacks jerseys.

719
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: This was the first time Surezer ever got it, and

720
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: you brought up Pineda to me. But he was before

721
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 1: the crackdown of the Sticky Stuff.

722
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: I'm so dumb. I thought that was Shazer and thirty one.

723
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I think crazy. I thought that might

724
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: have been like Tyler Gilbert maybe, or or Caleb Smith.

725
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: I think it was Caleb Smith.

726
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 2: Yea, I think it was kill Sol. I got Cali

727
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: Brand right now, what are you gonna do?

728
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Phil Cuzzy weirdly involved in all three injections

729
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: for Sticky Stuff of pictures since the crackdown. It's just

730
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: a witch hunt. I mean, we know that people have

731
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: been after Max Scherzer from the start. It's crazy that

732
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: he got ejected from this, especially when he was using

733
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: the stuff that Major League Baseball gives to the players.

734
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: It's also even more unfortunate because this was a situation

735
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: where Scherzer had push himself back a few days as

736
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 2: he was recovering from I think was side soreness. So

737
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: when you take those few days back, I know because

738
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: Max talked about like steadiness of workload in the past,

739
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: like you want to pitch as much as you're expecting

740
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: to pitch. So him coming out of the game when

741
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: he had what time like forty something pitches like that

742
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 2: stinks like you were expecting this work and now you

743
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 2: didn't get that work, and now your side that was

744
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 2: tight and was sore, you didn't You got to prepare

745
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: for something you never actually had to do. And now

746
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: if this holds, it's all the night ten game suspension

747
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: that comes with sticky stuff ejections. So that'll be another

748
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: two full times through rotation. So Max sure's there's a

749
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: full workload. That is a little nerve wracking for a

750
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: guy who's been trying to be really much more on

751
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: top of his health, especially of a side muscle that

752
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: we know are very finicky. So that's the end. On

753
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 2: top of that, even more so, the Mets are in

754
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: the span of playing ten games in ten days, all

755
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: on the road, losing one of your star pitchers now

756
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: right now, the best pitcher in this rotation, a guy

757
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: who you're expecting to give you length, the guy you're

758
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: expecting to beat these good teams, the guy expecting to

759
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: pitch six seven inchs and outing to lose him in

760
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: the middle of something. We're going through all this stretch.

761
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: Jose Boudo pitch last weekend. Jimmy Yacabonus threw fifty pitches today,

762
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: Jeff bring up my boy guy called the major leagues this,

763
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: rumors who might see Joey Lucazi later this week. Like

764
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: it's all hands on deck right now. And to lose

765
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: Max Scherzer after three innings forty seven pitches is just ridiculous.

766
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: Something's not right, man, Something's not right. I don't know,

767
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: it just it all felt just so bizarre. It felt

768
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: very like planned. I don't know. I'm not dude.

769
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: I was in the stadium. I don't know what the

770
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: hell was going on. I had to call my dad,

771
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 2: was watching on television. I was like, tell me, what's

772
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: happening right now, like plea. I was texting you like

773
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 2: what literally when the world's going on? Because I saw it,

774
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: like we just know this, Like there was a little

775
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: bit of a fract as the end of the last ending,

776
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: but nothing came of it, and you or my dad

777
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: text me like they just made sures are changes the

778
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: glove or it's like what you made changes glove? The

779
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: sticky stuff was there the first time? Why was he

780
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: just thrown out of the game at that moment? Like

781
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: why why Max West Maxer's get a second chance? Not

782
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: the saying Maxers, they shouldn't you get second, third and

783
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: fourths because he's abuff the law. I mean, I take

784
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: that back. He's the steam pitcher who would never do

785
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: anything wrong. I also take that back. I don't know.

786
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: It was weird that it was super weird that he

787
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: didn't get ejected and they made him change something, they

788
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: still ejected him. But I didn't I couldn't tell what

789
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: was going on. I just saw everyone on the arguing

790
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: on the first base line and then Max Schures are

791
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: stormed with the dugout. So it was really weird being

792
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: in the park for it.

793
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: If I'm rock Obaldeli I'm also furious too because I

794
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: got ejected because they didn't eject Domingo Herman for the

795
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: exact same thing that apparently happened like a week ago

796
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: when the Twins were playing the Yankees, and Domingo Herman

797
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: proceeded to have probably the best start of his career

798
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: to shut down the Twins and get a win. But

799
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: bal Deli's like, you just made him wash his hands.

800
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: You said there's sticky stuff on there. Why is he

801
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: still in the game. Why is why all of a

802
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: sudden is there a gray area with this sticky stuff,

803
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: especially if he's not actually using any of the sticky

804
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: stuff which Max Scherzer has swore on his life, is

805
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: his family's life that he is not using, like it

806
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: to me, something feels off in sures are after the

807
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: game when he's being asked by reporters. He had some

808
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: like funny tongue in cheek comments a little bit later,

809
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: but he was like, yeah, like basically like I'm not

810
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna talk too much about it. He goes, but I

811
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: used rosin, which is allowed. I washed my hands in

812
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: front of MB official. They saw it. I used alcohol

813
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: to clean off whatever they claimed was a problem because

814
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna touch Rosen when I go back out

815
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: on the field, like it's it's there, I'm allowed to

816
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 1: touch you. Why would not use it? He goes, and

817
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: the rest of us is gonna be kind of lea

818
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: handled legally. So I'm not going to talk too much

819
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: about it, which is kind of a cool way to

820
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: go about talking about this situation, although I wish we

821
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: didn't have to, because, like you said, the ten game

822
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: suspension is huge for them. That's huge.

823
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: That's insane, that's gonna be there's a series with the

824
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: brains that starting next week.

825
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: Especially with the news of Carrasco going on the IL

826
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: as well. We're down another picture now and it has

827
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: nothing to do with an injury. It's because of a

828
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: possible complete mistake by the umpires. Umpires need to be

829
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: held accountable. I've been saying that forever. They get away

830
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: with everything. If it's found out that Max Scherz did nothing,

831
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: which he did just phil cause he get suspended for

832
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: for falsely for completely altering the outcome of this game.

833
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: I mean probably not. I don't think so. Like, what's

834
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: what's the grounds that he made the call? He thought

835
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: he was supposed to make. I mean, I don't know

836
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: the umpire's union is. You know, it's very it's very powerful.

837
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: I don't really want to mess with them on here.

838
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: I know Joe West. Joe West listens to every single

839
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: podcast and as he said, not one umpire missed a

840
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: call last year, So we can't really can't. We can't

841
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: really mess with that governing body. But something we were

842
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: talking about off air that at the time made me frustrated,

843
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: but after the way this game ended up playing out

844
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: actually made me kind of like happy and kind of grateful.

845
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: It seemed like Buck show Walter was a little, a

846
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: little very chill after this Max Suare situation. I think

847
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: a lot of people, and maybe even Bucking a different

848
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: team different time, would have absolutely blown to Cork for

849
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: all those reasons that we just said, but Buck was

850
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: kind of relaxed about it, and then we kind of

851
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: washed away. This team responded and it was really really

852
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: loudly was in a full up and down team effort.

853
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: Jimmy acabonas Drew Smith, the rest of the Bullpen, Nemo,

854
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: like Tommy Fan, Marcanda, like everyone kind of like chipped in,

855
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: did their job and put the mess position to win

856
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: this game. So I and Buck after the game, everyone

857
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: was asking about Max Sherz and he was like, you guys,

858
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: just see this win. This was this was this was

859
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: this is a great team win right here.

860
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: Sure's are after the game too, after all the questions

861
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: came and someone did ask him about, like, how's the

862
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: field for the team to get a win? He's like,

863
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: got finally I get to talk about baseball. He's like,

864
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: he's like, that's a great win. He's like, Jimmy yack

865
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: put the team on his back. That's a good rhyme,

866
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: by the way, But I want to stand up and

867
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: clap for Jimmy Yakobonis because what a performance. If only

868
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: Johnny Stats was here, but he's he's busy, not caring

869
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: about the podcast. No, kidd, that's a shot. But John's

870
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: busy actually doing some real work outside of here. But

871
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: that's John's guy. Jimmy Acabonis a huge, huge outing by him.

872
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: That was monstrous what he did for us.

873
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: No, it was a ridiculous adding. But Jimmy ackabonaed to

874
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: go up against the Dodgers lineup has definitely not It's

875
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: no longer the scary Dodgers lineup. That I've ever used to be,

876
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: especially without Mookie Bets or Will Smith. But he went

877
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: through the full road like he went through the full time.

878
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: No one really did anything crazy to him like it was.

879
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: It was good. It was just good baseball. Lott sinkers,

880
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: lots of sweepers, like kept the ball down. It was

881
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: a really good adding for Jimmy Yack.

882
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: Yep, and Jeff Brigham, like you said, cleaned up the

883
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: final inning that Jimmy Yack was in, so big shout

884
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: to the bullpen. Of course, Drew Smith had an inning

885
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: that was great. David Roberson ended up giving up a run.

886
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: Got a little scary there, but you know the Mets.

887
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: The Mets really did like keep this game close, and

888
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: it was a good baseball game that was played.

889
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: Super good baseball game. Tommy fam had a very critical

890
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: sack fly in between those things too, when the game

891
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: was still only one run. That made the two runs

892
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: and that Robertson run wounds up only cutting it back

893
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: to one rather than rather than tying the game, which

894
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: would have been a backbreaking blow at that point. Because

895
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: he kind of just felt the Dodgers heating up his

896
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: game went on also just want to shout out the

897
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: Mets lineup again that we know is good. Only only

898
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: uh four strikeouts in this game.

899
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: Yep, very good lineup. I mean, we we've got to

900
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: meme ready and waiting to go for whenever the Mets

901
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: offense like truly does break out against like a good team,

902
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: not against the A's. But this lineup is good. And

903
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: it gets started again with Brandon Nimmo at the top

904
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: of the order, five for five on the day, a

905
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: home run that was absolutely crushed to right field. Nimo,

906
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: especially outside the first inning, attacks the baseball attacks. He's like,

907
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: way more aggressive, something that we've both talked about and

908
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: I'd love to see it because he hits the ball

909
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: really hard.

910
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 2: That home run was also right after Scherzer came out.

911
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: Jimmy Aack did give up a little minuality that with

912
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: a sackfly that gave the Dodgers a run, and you're like,

913
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: oh damn, the Dodgers just score the run the top

914
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: of the next inning and then we'll put the ball

915
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: out one ten, just out to right center, no doubt.

916
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: They're crushed, and you're just like, Okay, we got this game.

917
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: We're totally back in it. Also another cool, fun fact

918
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: about this game where Max shows are only through three innings,

919
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: forty seven pitches a Hodgepodge ballpen game. No one hit

920
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 2: the the Dodgers top four James Outman, Freddie Freeman, JD.

921
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: Martinez or Max Monty had a hard hit ball.

922
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. You're gonna win games when you keep those

923
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: guys from hitting the ball hard, that's for sure.

924
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 2: Yep. And Freeman struck out twice, Album struck out twice,

925
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: and we just I just loved watching this team play

926
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 2: and like come together today and Kenna breaking it open

927
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: at the end was nice breaking open. Kind We still yeah,

928
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: we only went by two.

929
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: But he scared me a little bit sliding into home

930
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: plate on that pass ball that he stole third. He

931
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: was stealing third, you told me because like watching on TV,

932
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: I'm like he was up b twenty five feet, Like

933
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: why did he go?

934
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: I mean saw it happening. He broke right when the

935
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: ball got past Austin Wins and he got to third

936
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: pretty early. And then as he was still had some

937
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: momentum running, Joey Korr was just it was he was

938
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 2: just moving it. It was he It was within Miller. He

939
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 2: was like popping him in and you think in the moment, like, Okay,

940
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: maybe you could steal a run right here, or like

941
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor is up with one out and a guy

942
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 2: at third, so whatever. But yeah, Jimmy Joe Goring got

943
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: very side for that one.

944
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: Sometimes you ride the waves, sometimes you try to ride

945
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: the momentum. It didn't work out there. Luckily it didn't

946
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: matter either, because the Mets won this game out of

947
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: Vino Du'd give up that home run to David Peralta,

948
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: which then followed with the guy running onto the field

949
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: like you said, but uh yeah, the game was over.

950
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: Ottavino got another save, which was huge, and the Mets

951
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: win this series two games out of three against the

952
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: Dodgers in La, we get to I guess we beat.

953
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: Did Cinderguard get the loss? Technically?

954
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: I think so he did.

955
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: Yes, we gave Cindergard a loss. Yeah, oh and three

956
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: with a five.

957
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,479
Speaker 2: Vra definitely didn't hithim hard enough, though he wasn't missing

958
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: any bats at all. Max shows Are hilariously did have

959
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 2: the most swings and misses in this entire game, which

960
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: is one of the funniest little side notes about it.

961
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: But cinder Guard is just like he's just he's really

962
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 2: he's really strange pitcher at this time in his career.

963
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks he throws like ninety two and it's

964
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: like a lot of sinkers and change ups, which is

965
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: like super not what we're used to. But you know what,

966
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: he's not on the Mets anymore, so I'm glad he's

967
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: not pitching. Well cool, love it.

968
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, one more thing I want to say

969
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: about this game. That was cool. Something's happened a lot

970
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: this year. Buck us David Roberson against the top of

971
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: the order in the eighth inning Outman Freeman Martinez. I

972
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 2: mean they get to him a little bit, but again

973
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 2: similar to how we saw him use edwin last year.

974
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 2: Like Robertson is the number one choice in this ballpen

975
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 2: right now, especially for getting guys from both sides of

976
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 2: the plate out, and he was in there to get

977
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: the best hitters the Dodgers out when they came up.

978
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: Love to see that. Smarter, not harder. That's exactly how

979
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: we're thinking right now. Also, another win that happened in

980
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: this series is for your boy, Mark me. I won

981
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: the estimate. I got it correct. We had rookie hits

982
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: in the series, and it was eight. I said seven

983
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: and a half. James told me that means eight and

984
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: eight was the magic numbers. So I got one on

985
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: the board. I think it's now what two to one,

986
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: three to one, No, three to one, two to one.

987
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: If jo got it, Yeah, John's got it. He knows it.

988
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: But all you gotta know is James is currently in

989
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 1: the lead. Now while John is not here, he did

990
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: text me what the next estimate is going to be,

991
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: and it's a fun one. I mean, we're playing the Giants.

992
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: We'll do our Giants preview in a second when we

993
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: wrap this up. But if you guys have looked at

994
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: that Giants offense, there's a lot of former Mets on

995
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: this team. So the estimate for this series is going

996
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: to be total hits by former Mets contingent on the Giants.

997
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: And for those of you at home, just to name

998
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: some of their former Mets on this team, JD. Davis, Wilmer, Flores,

999
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: Darren Ruff, and Michael CONFORDO. Those are the four right now.

1000
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,959
Speaker 1: How many hits will they have in this series? James?

1001
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Remember it's a four game series as well, so that's

1002
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: a good thing to keep in mind, I till I

1003
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: forgot to get a pen and papers.

1004
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna run and get that.

1005
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: Okay, go run get it. Yeah, I'll take in some

1006
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: time for you guys. Here. The Giants are coming off

1007
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: of a bit of a late game in Miami where

1008
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: they played extras. They have to fly from Miami back

1009
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: to San Francisco to play a game tomorrow against the

1010
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: Mets or today. When you guys are listening to it,

1011
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: which I absolutely love to see as a Mets fan,

1012
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, Giants are gonna be coming in off

1013
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: a flight tired. This is fantastic. So we're gonna go ahead,

1014
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: and I mean, I can talk it through. James isn't

1015
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: here up, he's back. I won't talk through my process here.

1016
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: Those four guys though, with the pitching matchups that we

1017
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: have through four games, I'm gonna say, you know what,

1018
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: got my number written down? I'm using a green Expo marker.

1019
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't have pens in my apartment. I don't know

1020
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: where they went. Interesting, what number do you think, James?

1021
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: Because I got one counting doing some arithmetic.

1022
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, because one of the big things

1023
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 2: about the series, especially about the way that Giants use

1024
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: their players that Darren Ruff and Woolmo Floors each have

1025
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: very specific roles as we know, and they play against

1026
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: lefties and J Davis. No, J Davis actually has broke

1027
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: the baple two Now he's in the lineup every day.

1028
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, because he's like, you know, they're three, four,

1029
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: third or fourth and is hitting like four hundred with

1030
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: like fifteen RBIs. He's, yeah, he's hitting the ball pretty well,

1031
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: and we are gonna be pitching Peterson for sure and

1032
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: possibly Joey Lukezi. That's two lefties right there. I get

1033
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: these guys many more at bats. So I'm thinking, oh, man,

1034
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: how much you go really high for this one?

1035
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, just go crazy high.

1036
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like he's like these guys are just

1037
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 2: feels like a situation where it's gonna be like.

1038
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: Oh oh wow, like those will be the guys that

1039
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: do get hits for the Giants in these games.

1040
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 2: It feels like we're also probably looking at like thirty

1041
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: probably looking at like for the at batch of these guys.

1042
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely over a four game series. All right, your

1043
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: number down, I got mine. Making the people wait for

1044
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: this one here ready.

1045
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 2: I wrote this so small. I'm gonna make a big

1046
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: roads so.

1047
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: Small do you forget that you have to show it

1048
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: on camera?

1049
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 2: Kinda it looks so bad?

1050
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: Do you not know how to write? What's going on?

1051
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: Vacation mode?

1052
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: Callie James? You got Florida? Mark, you got Callie James.

1053
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's honestly kind of perfect. That's it. That's what

1054
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 2: each was detached. All right, I'm ready ready, three yeah, two,

1055
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: one bang bang yep ooh eight. Mark has eight. I

1056
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: have twelve.

1057
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good, So ten is the number that

1058
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: makes us really frustrating.

1059
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: Ten's the even number. Okay, that makes sense.

1060
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: We love to be the same amount away from each other.

1061
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: We're never like three off, it's always four to two.

1062
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: A time has to be in place. It's one of

1063
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: the big problems with the NFL change. Now you need

1064
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: to have five hundred as a possibility. Yeah, you need

1065
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: to have that opportunity to just be level. And now

1066
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 2: we got that.

1067
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: We got that. So eight for me, twelve for James.

1068
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. Go ahead, right into the

1069
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: Giants preview now for this series, like we said, it's

1070
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: a four gamer against the Giants. Pitching matchups, we've got what.

1071
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: James pitching matchups for this series. Again, both teams are

1072
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 2: kind of shuffling right now. Alex Wood was injured this week,

1073
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: so he might be going on the il. We know

1074
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: that Ozebudo may spot start last week and he was

1075
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: sent back down, so he can't come up unless there's

1076
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: like an ensuing move that includes an injury. So as

1077
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: of right now, Thursday Night, we have Code Sanger versus

1078
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 2: shan and I. Shoum and I is a guy who

1079
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: has been like he's been very good and bad different

1080
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: times of his career, but seems like the Dodgers have

1081
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: the Giants have kind of gotten him back on track.

1082
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: His velosses up a slider looks better than Friday. Mets

1083
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: are undecided right now. It's possible that that becomes Joe Lookazy,

1084
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 2: but we have no idea. He just makes the logical sense.

1085
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 2: Versus Tony Disco, who's having a decent year as it

1086
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 2: is right now, Love Di Sclafani Saturday David Peterson versus

1087
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: Logan web Logan Webb. Historically last couple of years have

1088
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 2: been very good, but looks like he might have over

1089
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 2: tinkered with some of his stuff this year. He has

1090
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: more velocity and much more movement on his slytherer sweeper

1091
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 2: and it looks different. So guy's just a little harder

1092
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: control And Sunday Evening Sunday Night Baseball HYLR McGill versus

1093
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: undecided from the Giants that they hinted today would be

1094
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 2: Ross Strippling returning from the ballpen back to the rotation,

1095
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: and Ross.

1096
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Strippling has not looked good this year.

1097
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 2: I believe he's been getting hit pretty hard, yes, but

1098
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 2: Ross Rippling mentioned recently that he decided to kill his

1099
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: change up, that he was always decent for him tried

1100
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: to bring him back in a big way. This year

1101
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 2: has good also, I think he's going back just to

1102
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: the fastball curveball, which is usually yeah.

1103
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I know. Uh. Like the Giants in general

1104
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: have been pretty horrible this year. They've been like one

1105
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in baseball. Their pitching is not awful,

1106
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: their pitching is not bad, but it at all, but

1107
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: their offense has been struggling quite a bit. Like I'm

1108
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: just gonna read their hitters, I mean, me and you

1109
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: will know who they are. But just for you guys

1110
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: at home, so you can get used to these names

1111
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: that you might be hearing for the first time in

1112
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: your life. Catcher Joey Bart. He was a first round

1113
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: pick I think like four fourth overall a few years

1114
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: ago out of Florida State. He's actually been swinging the

1115
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: bat I think pretty well since he got called back up.

1116
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: And he is a good baseball player, awesome defensively, yeah, well,

1117
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: he always was a good defensive catcher, like that was

1118
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: one of the calling cards for him. And then they

1119
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: also have Blake Sable who's a left handed hitting catcher,

1120
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: which is a party and he also plays the outfield

1121
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: I think to a little Dalton var show action.

1122
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1123
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: In terms of their infielders, you have Brandon Crawford. We

1124
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: know about him. He's due for a big hit. I'm

1125
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: sure at some point in the series. JD. Davis, who

1126
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: we mentioned who has been swinging the bat well, although

1127
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: some Mets fans would make you think that a tank

1128
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: Aaron who's been hitting, not JD. Davis.

1129
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 2: I do want to mention that the Giants played face

1130
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: the lefty Trevor Rodgers on Wednesday afternoon and two three

1131
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 2: four in their lineup was Wilmer Flores, Darren Ruff, JD.

1132
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: Davis, so yeah, we'll probably see that. Ever lefties that

1133
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: we have, probably twice, Yeah, probably twice. Tyro Estrada is

1134
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: on the team. Tyrostrada is a good ball player. Is

1135
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: definitely a good ballplayer. Former Yankee Wilmer floor is Darren Ruff.

1136
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, I think Mets fans probably have some

1137
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: feelings about Darren Ruff that we will not be sharing

1138
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: right here. You know, actually we could share it. They

1139
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: don't like him, they hate his guts. I think they

1140
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: hate Darren Ruff. So I'm sure a lot of Mets

1141
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: fans will really be watching the at bats against him.

1142
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: David Vr, who you told me is a little bit

1143
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: of a ballplayer. He just hits the ball so hard

1144
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: and he really gets to his pul power. Well, he

1145
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: just has a lot of swing and miss, which makes

1146
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: sense from a guy who is like kind of like

1147
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: a quadruple a ish like on that friende right now,

1148
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: like twenty six year old late draft pick who's trying

1149
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: to make his way, but he really hits a lot

1150
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: of the barrels and he doesn't chase. He kind of

1151
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: does the outman thing, but a little worse than outman.

1152
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: So he's a guy who he has pop Lamont Waye Junior,

1153
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: who we've seen before, who plays first base and quarterner outfield.

1154
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: And Brett Wisely, who is someone I literally have no clue,

1155
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: never heard about him, Welcome to the big League's guy,

1156
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: And then in the outfield another familiar face, Michael CONFORDO.

1157
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: Wish the best for him. I hope he does great.

1158
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: Except this series. I hope he goes over twelve. I

1159
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: hope he doesn't get a single hit. Probably unlikely because

1160
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: he's playing pretty well this year. Looks like he might

1161
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: be a little bit back, but yeah, he'll be playing

1162
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: every day out there in the outfield. Yeah.

1163
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: The Giants also have a real hodgepodge of funny relievers,

1164
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 2: like we're gonna see Camille Devall, who I think is sneaky,

1165
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 2: like one of the better relievers in baseball. He throws,

1166
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 2: he throws, demon, demon pitches, sinker sly there. They're freaky

1167
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 2: as hell. And then got the Rogers brothers, Taylor and Tyler,

1168
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 2: which is crazy to have these guys in one bullpen,

1169
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 2: and we.

1170
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: Know that Tyler has caused us fits in previous years.

1171
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: He is the submariner.

1172
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 2: Last year we got to him if you remember, yes, but.

1173
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: That was because he wasn't really throwing strikes though, right,

1174
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: I think he was just walking a lot of guys maybe,

1175
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: but he's a submariner who basically scrapes his knuckles against

1176
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: the ground and throws about seventy five miles an hour,

1177
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: so he'll be frustrating to see. They also have I

1178
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: think the tallest player in Major League Baseball, or at

1179
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: least the tallest player in history, Sean Jelly, who is

1180
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: six foot eleven two hundred and twenty eight pounds. Yeah,

1181
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: he's made a jelly. How do you only weigh two

1182
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight pounds at six to eleven.

1183
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a funny looking guy. They also sneaky. I

1184
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 2: think they just called him up recently. Another very tall

1185
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 2: guy who's a star. The starting pitching prospects in their bullpen,

1186
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: trist In Back. He's like a clean six five as well,

1187
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: like six', five like one to. Seventy so, yeah it

1188
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: kind of seemed like they might have a type right. Now, no,

1189
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 2: definitely their pitcher will be, okay like we, said it

1190
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: will be. Solid their Offense lobal week last two Guys

1191
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 2: Elliott ramos And Mikey. Stremski this is a team that

1192
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 2: we are. PLAYING i kind of feel like, There that's

1193
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: HOW i wanted to describe. Him this is a team

1194
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: that we're, playing and we need to beat team we're.

1195
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 2: Playing i'd like to beat. Them we're. Coming this is

1196
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: tough to come, off like a big emotional game on

1197
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 2: a day, game then go immediately to a night, game

1198
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: like still on the same road. Trip SO i think

1199
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 2: that is gonna be like the real only thing working

1200
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 2: against The mets, here because like it's just been just

1201
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 2: been a lot of, travels a lot of, work a

1202
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: lot of games, consecutively and today was just so, weird

1203
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 2: AND i don't, KNOW i feel like you beat a

1204
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 2: team like The, dodgers there's, tendency is just human nature

1205
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 2: to be, like all right now we're playing The giants, different.

1206
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: We, know especially with a home stand coming up, Too

1207
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: Like i'm sure people are getting. Ready this is about

1208
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,200

1209
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: like to be. Home i'd like to go home a little.

1210
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 2: Bit ten games in ten days sticks when all of

1211
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: them happened in the state Of, california and you're going

1212
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 2: like From oakland back To la then up back To San.

1213
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 2: Francisco god forbid The mets play In oakland And San

1214
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: francisco and back to back. Series that would be too

1215
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 2: that would be too difficult for them to, do would

1216
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: be much too easy for this to deal. With But

1217
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 2: giants are a weird. Team they're gonna do weird. Stuff

1218
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna be very matchup. Dependent you're gonna see a

1219
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: lot of pitching, changes lots of pinch, hitters pinch. Runners

1220
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 2: they're gonna try and like maximize every single little more

1221
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: sol of baseball you can get out of all these.

1222

1224
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: good road trip we've been having so. Far The mets

1225
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: are right now five and one on the road.

1226
