1
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: What is up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: of the Mets Stuff Podcast, a much more normal episode.

3
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Apologies for the last one. Hand up, I just screwed

4
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: up the audio so badly. I thought the microphone was connected.

5
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: It was never connected at once. I plugged it into

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: the headphone jack instead of the microphone jack. Why they

7
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: have both of them, I don't know. It's confusing, but

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: on me, audio sounded terrible. Should sound a lot better.

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: Today we got to talk about the Pirates series. There

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: was a lot going on here. It's building into more

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: and more storylines as we go into the All Star break.

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Gotta talk about the All Star Game snubs as well,

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: with Brandon Nemo and Francisco Lindor, along with then Pete A.

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: Lonzo being the choice, which was also very confusing. We'll

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: get into everything going on in Mets world as we

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: you in a minute? Saw you fourth of July. We

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: were quite intoxicated. How are you feeling now? What's going on?

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: How was your weekend? It was great?

31
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: Love Fourth of July weekend one of the one of

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: the truly beautiful American things. We had a nice shindig

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: at my parents' house on Thursday, sung out a lot

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: of friends, saw a lot of family this weekend. Saw

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: so many different cousins from all my sides of the family.

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: It was great. Had so much good food. My parents

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: have so much good food. We it so go and

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Fourth of July as well. Those burgers were phenomenal, Like

39
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: those were really some great burgers.

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I grilled them well, we had that. Oh you

41
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: didn't have cheese, We had the good cheese on them.

42
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: I brought out the pala free, the steak sauce, I

43
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: think they were Palafree the Burgers or Pele Lugersburgers, whatever

44
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: they were, I don't know, but it was a nice ensemble,

45
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: nice weekend, and then just like another strange, strange Mets thing.

46
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: The whole road trip I think was weird in of

47
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: itself because going in I think that a lot of

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: US Mets fans put qualifiers on these things, like we

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: have to go over five hundred in this road tip,

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: like we gotta go that will make us all feel good,

51
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: and then like to drop the game on Monday the

52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: way they did, to go to four and four in

53
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: the road trip against two teams that you want to

54
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: feel like you're better than than. In reality, you just

55
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: might not be at the end of the day like that.

56
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's like the hardest realization that happened,

57
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: but it's just you're you're not that much different than them,

58
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: I think is where it is gonna be. And it

59
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: felt like at the beginning you may have been.

60
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: If you could give the Pirate, if you could combine

61
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: the Pirates pitching and the Mets offense, this team wins

62
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: sixty five, they're in first place, like they're one of

63
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: the best teams in baseball. It would be incredible what

64
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: you could do if you could put Paul Skein's, Mitch Keller,

65
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Jared Jones, those guys as the Mets pitching staff with

66
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: that bullpen of no names that are doing really good,

67
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: and the Mets line because the Pirates line up again,

68
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: I know they put up some runs in the first

69
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: game of the series, but like, relatively speaking, it's a

70
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: pretty horrendous lineup, Like there is not a lot there,

71
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: which makes even worse that they scored all those runs.

72
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: But if we're going to start with any game, start

73
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: probably with Monday, because that's it's the hot one. That's

74
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: the one that I think a lot of people are

75
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: frustrated with, specifically because Christian Scott got pulled relatively early

76
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: in this game. Now we do know after the game,

77
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: Carlos Mendoza said that they had Scott on a seventy

78
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: five pitch limit because of the fact that he was

79
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: on four days rest for the first time as a

80
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: major leaguer. I don't know if he's done that in

81
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: the minors or not, because I know their schedule is

82
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: a little bit different, but in the majors he's not

83
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: yet pitched on what is regular rest or four days rest,

84
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: so they limited him, but that also is what killed us.

85
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: And fully I think in a couple of weeks will

86
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: be okay with the decision because relatively speaking, at the

87
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: end of the day, you don't want to do anything

88
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: to Christian Scott that would hurt his armor or be

89
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: stupid over one game in July against the Pirates. But

90
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: at the same time, how many more pitches would he

91
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: have realistically had to have thrown to get out of

92
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: that inning? Probably not many. He was really cruising in

93
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: this game.

94
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: The question is also just in that exact moment, just

95
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: to paint it forget as if you're not watching it.

96
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: He was at seventy seven pitches with two outs in

97
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: the fifth inning. The Pirates had two hits the entire game,

98
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: and Scott had retired I think at this point like

99
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: six in a row, after seven in a row after

100
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: the O'Neal Cruz home run to when he scored.

101
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: He sandwiched nine in a row O'Neal Cruz and whatever happened,

102
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: and then I think six or seven in a row

103
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: after that, I think it.

104
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: Was a it was a base hit by I don't

105
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: know if it was Reynolds, was a Reynolds, I don't know.

106
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: It was a two run home run for o'nial cruise

107
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: with someone with someone on base, and then everyone got

108
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: out after that until he left the game. So he's

109
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: only allowed two base runners all game. He was at

110
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: seventy seven pitches, two above the seventy five pitch limit,

111
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: and there were two outs in the fifth inning, And

112
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just to me, if you have

113
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: a lightsile bullpen, you have someone I trust to go

114
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: to in that situation to get out the two best

115
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: hitters in the Pirates lineup, okay, Or you could say

116
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: Brian Realinds to switch hither you're not and you don't

117
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: have a lefty to bring in anyway, so you're not

118
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: getting a platoon change or thing there. I know that

119
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: Brolin Erkors were going to talk about a second and

120
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: he is a change up guy, so that's going to

121
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: be better against left handed bather and Scott does struggle

122
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: but against left handed bathers, but he seemed to have

123
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: had handled Reynolds in this game. So even with two

124
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: pitches over the limbit one out to go in the

125
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: sixth inning, two pitches over the limit. I get that

126
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: you give him that bather and if he gets to

127
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: own New Cruz already took him deep. He's had an

128
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: amazing series. Then he's out, then it's okay. But the

129
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: fact that Orsa came in, he had the long bath

130
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: to walk Reynolds on cruise, got the hit, and then

131
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: everything just kind of spiraled from there. It felt so bizarre,

132
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: also considering that I know it was on different days

133
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: of rest. The last game Christians got pitched against the

134
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: Nationals last week, you lost the game because you made

135
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: the exact opposite decision. He pushed him and you push him,

136
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: and you push him, and he left him in against

137
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: the lefty for the third time. And then that left

138
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: to Luis Garcia took him over the wall, and that

139
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 2: blew the whole alling where this time you're like, okay,

140
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: he has a third pitch limit. He isn't as good

141
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: against lefties as Rioty, He's not even close. So you

142
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: don't want this left to the scene for a third time.

143
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: He don't want either left his scenem for a third time.

144
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: You take him out, and now you've made two different

145
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: decisions on Christian Scott and more or less it cost

146
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 2: you both of his last.

147
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Games, and the decision making. I'll say this, outside the

148
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: pitch count thing, I can rationalize too, because it seemed

149
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: like their plan was Christian Scott to Adrian Howser. Adrian

150
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: Howser finishes the game like that seems like what they wanted,

151
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: start to finish, start it, and they realized, oh crap,

152
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: we need to get one more out. Let's get Eric

153
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: Orza and easy, get one out, get out of the inning.

154
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: But then you realize it's the heart of the order.

155
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: This is the guy who's making his major league debut

156
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: in a tie ball game for a team that you're

157
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: competing for a playoff spot with. Like, this wasn't just

158
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: an easy one out scenario. This wasn't hey, get out, uh,

159
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: get out yeah, Jared Triolo, whoever the fuck they throw

160
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: out there in their seventh to eight nine hole. Like

161
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: during the game, this was Brian Reynolds All Star. He's

162
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: been scalding hot. He worked a tough walk. Like you said,

163
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: he kind of got squeezed by the umpire a little

164
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: bit bit too in the umpire softball game, but that's

165
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: no excuse. His hands up play better, score more runs.

166
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: It was It was just weird, especially because they had

167
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: nobody else in the bullpen, Like if you told me

168
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: they went with like if they went Drew Smith here

169
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: if you were healthy, or if they went with like

170
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: one of their their bigger goals here, yeah, Seanrie Foley

171
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: or not at him out of you know, not him,

172
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: not him, I won't say that, Or Jake Deekman. I

173
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: won't say that either. But if they went with one

174
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: of their like front line guys that they've been expecting,

175
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: I would have been more okay with it. Danielle nuniy

176
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: as a Red Garrett, because they have that experience, they

177
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: have that opportunity, they've shown it before. To put ours

178
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: in that situation felt kind of unfair. It felt a

179
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: little near sighted almost. It felt truly unfair to him

180
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: because again, just conceptually think about it for a second.

181
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: You're bringing up a pitcher who's a twenty five year

182
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: old minor laker who doesn't throw especially hard, doesn't have

183
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: a specially good breaking ball. He's a he's a change up,

184
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: middling fastball guy. Okay, fine, and.

185
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: You're saying the first thing you have to do in

186
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: your career is get out the best two players in

187
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: the other team and both or both lefties when you're

188
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: a righty. I know again she probably will be better

189
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: against lefties and righty's because that change up.

190
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: Is now pitch.

191
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: But this team seemed completely ready to face that change up.

192
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: It seemed like that was very much a scouting point.

193
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: I think he threw seven to Row and Brian Reynolds

194
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: swung at maybe one of them and fouled it off

195
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: in that long at that So it's just a situation

196
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: where it just didn't it didn't really make sense. And

197
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: that comes back to decision of taking Scott out of

198
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: the game because in that one moment, that one at bet,

199
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: he's only two pitches over his limit. I don't want

200
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: to push him. I don't want to stress him out.

201
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to have add injury risk to him,

202
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: and I want to make sure his workload's managed and

203
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: everything's okay, so we can have him pitch for months

204
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: and months and months the rest of the season, because

205
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: if we are going to go to the playoffs, Christian

206
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: Scott would likely be a big part of that. But

207
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: to get one more guy out in this game that

208
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: I know you said it was just a game in July,

209
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: it was a relatively important game because the Pirates are

210
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: probably the team that if I was a betting man,

211
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: I would say they might be favored to take that

212
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: last while. I mean, now, the Jared Jones injury does

213
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: changed that equation.

214
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: But Steen, oh you have that, I've got some info

215
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: on the Pirates. Betting odds right now are the third

216
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: lowest in all the National League. The only teams have

217
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: worse odds than them to make the playoffs and then

218
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: win the National League Marlins and Rockies. Sorry Mets fans,

219
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: this is anti met here. I'm all over that. I

220
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: am all over the Pirates on my bets to make

221
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs and then to win the National League, which

222
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: again crazy. But those three pitchers, you guys saw two

223
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: of the three. Mitch Keller, I mean, diced us the

224
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: fuck up against He's quite good and and Paul Skeens

225
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: is maybe the best pitcher in baseball. If they can

226
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: get out of run with healthy guys and maybe grab

227
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: a batter to it the deadline, this is a team

228
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: you do not want to face at all.

229
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: And I think they are actually over five hundred since

230
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: Skens was called ark, which is pretty remarkable. And the

231
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: fact that again, this bomb in the National wildcar race

232
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: is still not exciting. I know the Cardinals are still hot.

233
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: I don't believe in them for a second. I just

234
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: keep winning games with that bullpen, like if Arnado and

235
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: Goshman aren't hitting and the rotation still wasn't very good,

236
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, And the Padres just seemed like at

237
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: any moment things can not go well. I still think

238
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: they're actually probably the second I kind of have them

239
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: as the playoff team here. The Diamonbacks are hot now,

240
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: then the Mets, Giants, Pirates Reds, and then the Cups.

241
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: All those teams are within four games.

242
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: Giants are being carried on the back of Elliott Ramos

243
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: right now, like at some point he's not going to

244
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: be Barry Bonds.

245
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 2: Like Snell's coming back this week. I think all of

246
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: these teams have compelling, compelling case mixed plumping in the

247
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: Cardinals with us and pushing the Padres head for their wildcard.

248
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 2: But I don't think the Pirates are far out of

249
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: in any sense. But again, this is a game that

250
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 2: you could look back on in September and be like, fuck,

251
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: if Christian Scott gets one more batter out, everything is

252
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: different and we might still end, but.

253
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: Not like that. It's a two game swing too. Taking

254
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: three or four versus two of two is a two

255
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: game swing, and that's that's huge. Also, what the fuck

256
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: is with the scheduling the met to play four four

257
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: game series in the month of July nationals Pirates. I

258
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: think we sprinkle in a Marlin series, and there's one

259
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: more I don't remember off the top of my head,

260
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: just because it's been a minute that I've looked at

261
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: the schedule. But we were talking about this on fourth

262
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: of July. I'm like, how is it possible we're playing

263
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: four to four game series in one month. I've never

264
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: seen that.

265
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: I mean, don't don't cue me up to talk about

266
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: the schedule. Of course you'll get don't get ni tracked.

267
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: Don't don't give me the opportunity for that. But the

268
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: other four game series I'm loading right now. It's Marlin's

269
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: right after the break, and then to end the month,

270
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: it's Braves at Home. Yeah, sick awesome, dude, love that.

271
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: And that's a back to back Yankees Braves. And then

272
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: actually Twins come to town. That's a that's what Dad

273
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: was there. But it's is and especially when you have

274
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: to go through these game on Saturday and Sunday where

275
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: Edwin dsp both days, dead No Nuonis pitches both days.

276
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: Rid Garrett pitches both days.

277
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: On a Saturday, Jose Boudo gives you two a winning

278
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: in two thirds, and then Adam O Lavino, who again

279
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: his rosspot's becoming more and more tenuous, doesn't pitch the

280
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: entire series. That that becomes a frustrating thing now where

281
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: you have some guys in his bullpen who you just

282
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 2: feel like you can't use, and you keep riding the

283
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: other guy's hard and you get a situation like this

284
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: where you have to call it barracors. There again, I

285
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: don't think this derails like anything. He could be a

286
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: successful relief in his career. But just the first thing

287
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: you're doing. And I felt so bad because they kept

288
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: showing his grandma in the stands.

289
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: Oh she might not be his grandma, mom? Might it

290
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: could be his mom? Yeah?

291
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, they showed a family matriarch in the stands.

292
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: Yes, there you go. Gary called her grandma. That's why

293
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: I just went with that.

294
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: But to the family matriarch in the stands, and she

295
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: was so nervous, Oh, so of course yeah, and I was.

296
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: Just like, damn, this sucks is and it got so

297
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: out of.

298
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: The hand so quickly, and it's just not ugh. And

299
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it also does come back

300
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 2: to Christian Scott not being fully comfortable yet against lefties

301
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: at least it doesn't seem like it like it's just

302
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: it's it's not there. This game against the right, he

303
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: only threw his fastball in a sweeper and people didn't

304
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: even have a clue he was shutting them down.

305
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: This was he looked.

306
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: This was such a good start by Christian Scott where

307
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: the rioty's fastball sweeper wiping guys out, and then he's

308
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 2: still trying to throw that splither and doesn't really have

309
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: the bite and he can't really command it, and then

310
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: also the gyrosider command isn't super there. Nice conversations too

311
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: between Gary and Jerry Bleven today, like kind of going

312
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: pitching back.

313
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: Jerry's was so good in the call.

314
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: It's really hard for someone to step in this met's

315
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: booth and be good because of how good we have

316
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: it every other day. Jerry's fantastic. If there is going

317
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: to be a future without the three guys in the booth.

318
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: I would like Jerry Blevins to be a part of it.

319
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: I agree wholeheartedly. But then Chris's guy again, without that

320
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: splither really being there, without that gyro side of really

321
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: having the bite and really having good command. He did

322
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: a lot better with the fastball command. I thought he

323
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 2: did owning the edges against lefties, and Jerry Blevins called

324
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: that out and he liked one of my tweets last

325
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 2: week talking about that. So I think I might have

326
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: affected I think, Jerry Blevin said on the broadcast today,

327
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: So I'll take that when I was really happy about

328
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: that watching the game today. But even with all that,

329
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: even with him not being great against lefties, it's still

330
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: so fucking weird to bring in a right hand to

331
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: relieve her for his first career appearance against the best

332
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 2: two hitters on the other team in a tight game.

333
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, oh, what the hell just happened?

334
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: I just wave, moved, waved my hands and knocked over

335
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: my computer. Oh okay, nice good catch? Do you caught it? Wow?

336
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: That was a good catch, all right? But uh, where

337
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: I was I going? Oh? The real problem here, though,

338
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: is the bullpen's a catastrophe. It's it's we got three

339
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: months of like we were grinding our teeth and sneaking

340
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: by with walking every single person and just kind of

341
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: not really having the greatest stuff. The Edwin Das thing imploded.

342
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: It like the fact that they had to make up

343
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: for him, be like leaving an empty roster spot spot. Yeah.

344
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: Has now all culminated to the fact that these guys

345
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: are just not very good anymore. Like it's just and

346
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: that's kind of mean, but like kind of outside of

347
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: dead Neiel Nunez and I guess Edwin Diaz as well,

348
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: like Reid Garrett's kind of getting exposed right now and

349
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: losing Drew Smith hurt. I know a lot of Mets

350
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: fans hate Drew Smith, but like you probably wish Drew

351
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: Smith was in this bullpen right now for sure a lot.

352
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: Like Sean ree Foley being hurt has low Ki really

353
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: hurt this team a lot. He was so good out

354
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: of the bullpen for us, and losing Brooks really for

355
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: the year, Like there's three three legitimate arms at this

356
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: bullpen was supposed to have that we don't and now

357
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: we're trying to put the pieces back together and dead

358
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: Neil new News has been great and read Garrett was

359
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: a great stop gap. But I just I don't really

360
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: know if it gets any better at any point, and

361
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how or if they're even willing to

362
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: make it get better besides just trying more guys to

363
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: have in the minders.

364
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: I just can't even imagine, Like, tell, if you told

365
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: one of us son May March fifteenth that it'd be

366
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: the fourth July weekend and the only reliever you truly

367
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: trust them as Bullpen is Dad Neil Noon, Yes, you

368
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: tell you you would.

369
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: Tell someone to fuck off? No, even not al right?

370
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: I think we mentioned him like one time briefly in

371
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: a Bullpen episode in January, like that, no newon is

372
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: exciting arm there was ninety seven with a slide and

373
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: maybe they'll se him this year and that's it. Now

374
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: he is the guy and even more shaky on Sunday.

375
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: But then he came out with guy wound up doing

376
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: the safe with the guys on base whatever. It's just

377
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: even that everyone has come back, it's not like a

378
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: band aid the paper over it, because we still just

379
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: had to play a man down for ten games. And again,

380
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: I know you shouldn't cheat, but that is such a

381
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: fucking harsh penalty. This kills It's a de other. I

382
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: keep saying this. I don't remember if it says on

383
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: Worthy Shower on our show last time. But the team

384
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: is a power play from you for every game you

385
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: guy roster.

386
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: It's insane.

387
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: Baseball is a game where you need everyone to play,

388
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: every single person. Hockey, the power plays last two minutes

389
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: and those are still the most advantageous plays in sports.

390
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: This was a week and a half. You're missing a

391
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: reliever and you just feel it so hard. You can

392
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: you feel from him coming back on of cold like

393
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: it's just the first outing was in the in the

394
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: game with decently and Saturday was good. But he comes

395
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: back in on Sunday and the field was gone again.

396
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: He was shaky, had no command.

397
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: I know that arm was slow, his arm was he

398
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: was rushing, he was moving too fast and his arm

399
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: was lagging behind, which is why everything was high and outside.

400
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: And see that slide that it wasn't hit hard, but

401
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: the hit that tied the game was just it's just

402
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: sat in the middle of the play and reed. Garrett's

403
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: also discombobulated. I think he is getting exposed a little bit,

404
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: but I will I still think there's a successful reliever

405
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: inside of him, and he's just he is going crazy

406
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: right now with the approach.

407
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: He's so discombined. Blade.

408
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't think that he has a semblance of what

409
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: to throw, when, why, or how he should really changed everything.

410
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: I have two great graphics on Savanna. I love to

411
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: use their their pitch pie charts to show how often

412
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: they're in each count and what pitch they're throwing in

413
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: every one of their counts.

414
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: It's really good.

415
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: He's basically he's just he's throwing ball one slightly more

416
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: often than he was between April and May, it's compared

417
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: to June July. Once he start gets into the at bat,

418
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: he's much much much more likely to always throw that

419
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: splither now when there are two strikes, where the first

420
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: time he was likely to throw, but he was mixing

421
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: in a good amount of sweepers, and he was doing

422
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: a thing I told you guys a lot where he

423
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: was pitching backwards. He would sneak the fastball by the

424
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: guys with two strikes and it's still ninety six, so

425
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: they still wound up being a good pitch. And then

426
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: it's just he he once he falls behind now it's

427
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: just color after color after color, which I think is fine.

428
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: He's allowing balls to be put in play, but he's

429
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: not really as good at putting that pitch in the

430
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: zone as he is with the fastballs, but he is.

431
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: The color is more effective the fastballs, and then the

432
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: splitther wild's still good by month. It's what freight has

433
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: gone from seventy percent to sixty five percent to now

434
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: just like fifty five percent, which is still great for

435
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: all that high as it is, yes, just throwing it

436
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: in his own let. It's being swung at less offense.

437
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: The problem which is, I think hitters are much more

438
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: aware of it now, sleinking up and unless, but if

439
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: you still swing at it, it's you're unlikely to hit it.

440
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: But it's just that's still a big difference. Almost three

441
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: chords of the.

442
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 2: Time people were swinging through that pitch before and now

443
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: it's half the time. That's significant, despite this still being good,

444
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: significant difference, which this is what I think we're both

445
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: beckoning to people when the Regaar thing was happening in April,

446
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: where it's like, I think he's probably a good reliever,

447
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: he's not the best reliever in baseball, and it's just

448
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 2: like it's he's he's being so weird right now it's

449
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: hard to track, and now it's swung back and still

450
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: it's just he's just it's just fucking weird. But like,

451
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: if he's the fourth best believe in your bullpen, you're like, I.

452
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: Know, you're awesome. Yeah, And right now.

453
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 2: He's still the third best believer in the ball play

454
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: and that's still okay. But the fact they're playing all

455
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: these games day after day. Edwin Diaz just came back.

456
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: These guys are all working back to back games. Adam

457
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: out of you know, can't really be used like you

458
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: You always have a rotating ty Adcock Tyler j irak Rzy.

459
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: You don't really want to bring it either. So now

460
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: you're down another guy in the ballpench it's you can't

461
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: you can't exist like this. And Howser's your long guy.

462
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: So it's like and Budos half a long guy too.

463
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: It's a weird mix. I know how he fixed this bullpen, James,

464
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: I know how he fix it. Something you've been saying

465
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: for for years. It's the Tyler, big drip, big drip man.

466
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: This is the guy. This is the guy. I think.

467
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: I think this is the moment, like it's screened. Look

468
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: at what his brother's doing. His brother's one of the

469
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: best relievers in all his baseball snub from the All

470
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: Star Game, fucking bullshit should have made the All Star Team.

471
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: It's nonsense that he did not. But I'm thinking ty

472
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: lawers do for the same thing. Because we love that

473
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: he throws those different pitches. He's gonna be able to

474
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: probably dial it up to ninety seven ninety eight out

475
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: of the bullpen, and all of a sudden, you're like,

476
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: oh shit, we got our eighth inning guy, to Leos,

477
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: to Edwin Diaz, or we got a guy that can

478
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: give us two innings out of the bullpen, which we

479
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: so desperately need. That's what made dead Neill nunia Is

480
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: even better, and that's what made Regarrett even better, was

481
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: that we could get multiple innings out of these guys

482
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: help us in these days when we have our B

483
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: team bullpen, our seed team bullpen. That's kind of where

484
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: guys like Deacmon and Ottavino lay flat a little bit.

485
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: They can't get through even one, right. He didn't even

486
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: mention deacman Jesus Christ.

487
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's like Jake Deagman, supporter of the

488
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: messed up Instagram accounts. We won't chastise him too much,

489
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: but oh my god, it's been so bad.

490
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean bad. It's the Jake Deacmon experience. He does

491
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: this every year. He goes through a stretch where he

492
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: is unpitchable because he does walk twenty percent of the

493
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: guys he faces, and then all of a sudden, they

494
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: just get a couple hits here and there. Like he

495
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: gets to that spot every single year. It's just can

496
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: we push through it? He's also not going anywhere. Name

497
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: another lefty we have? Where are you gonna get a lefty? Like? No,

498
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: I thought maybe we would be in a spot where

499
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: we talk about trading Jake Deacmon, But I think he's

500
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: meant till the end of the year. The whip is

501
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: tricked up to one point five. This season, he has

502
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: one of the highest.

503
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: Walk rates for any reliever in baseball, and eighteen percent

504
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: it's very batutably high.

505
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: That's incredibly high. That being said, the starting pitching's been

506
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean, like that's that's the other weird part.

507
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: Like you got a great start out of Sean Maniyah,

508
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: who I think his era is like sub one five

509
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: with Francisco Alvarez catching him, which is so funny how

510
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: much these guys love throwing Alvarez. And it's also three

511
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: four in the season, which is lowest for a Mets start. There. Yep, uh, Severino,

512
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't sharp. He's so weird. What's going

513
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: on with him? Like he didn't pitch bad, but he

514
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: didn't pitch well, but he also was bad. I don't

515
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: we gotta trade him.

516
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: I know, you guys remember what Severna was untradeable a

517
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: week and a half ago.

518
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Two weeks you never remember that.

519
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: We never said that. No, I'm just talking to people

520
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: in the world. A lot of people thought that. I

521
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: remember tweeting about it. I talked about it on worthy stream.

522
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: People were like, no way, we can't get rid of them.

523
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 2: It's just that's it. I have some sym Severino that

524
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 2: makes me think that there's just something weird with him.

525
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, it seems like that I've been talking

526
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: a lot about how much he's throwing his fastball and

527
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: a sinker.

528
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: This year.

529
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: Sinker has gone up to be I think his most

530
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: used pitch after barely throwing his entire career and I

531
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: think the sicker actually has been an incredibly meaningful addition

532
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: to I think it's actually reinvented his entire career.

533
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Truthfully, the fact that.

534
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: He can now go off those two fastballs, kind of

535
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 2: mix some raise and lefties pitch, the more contact, get

536
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: through these athings very efficiently. It's great, but it's just

537
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: it can't be everything. So this is Luis Severino's last

538
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 2: six starts, seventy two percent fastball on sinker, eighty one

539
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: percent fastball on sinker, sixty seven percent fastball on sinker.

540
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: But that's sixty seven percent. That was the Cubs game

541
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 2: where he had the ten strikeouts.

542
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: Where he was awaking.

543
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: That game he threw eighteen percent sweepers. That's the only

544
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: game in the last month and a half where he's

545
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: thrown more than eight percent sweepers in a single start.

546
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: And that was the one game he did that and

547
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: he struck out ten guys, had the best start of

548
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: the season, and then past that sixty five percent fifty

549
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: nine seventy six percent, and early in the year was

550
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 2: hanging out between forty five and sixty percent. But this

551
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: has been an insane uptick and it just shows me

552
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: there's a lack of feel for the slide.

553
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: There's a lack of feel for the sweeper, lack of

554
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: feel for the color that was coming on.

555
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 2: That seems the signed to me, and the changeup has

556
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 2: been totally turfed after that amazing video of him throwing

557
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: in the drive line in the winter.

558
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: Do you think that the fastball usage though, could have

559
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: been because he's trying to get quicker out and pound

560
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: the zone more because the bullpen was so weak, so

561
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: he's like, I gotta be in the zone more. I

562
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: have to get guys to go after my pitches because

563
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: I just can't come out of the game after five.

564
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: I can't come after six, which I guess. Also the

565
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: argument too is well, you went seven and struck out

566
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: ten against the Cubs, so yea, you have no problem.

567
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now if you just do that, you could

568
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: probably just be better. Like maybe that's a cute, but

569
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: maybe this just it has to be a field thing,

570
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: because I think that it's probably obvious internally, it's obvious

571
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: externally that when he throws those off speed pitches with

572
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: breaking balls more, he's more effective. And you are right

573
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 2: looking at these the last two stars for his highest

574
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: percentage combined percentage of fastball sinkers the year during the

575
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: DS suspension eighty one percent, seventy two percent. But it's

576
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: just untenable even.

577
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: To put that.

578
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: I mean, if you put sixties like two thirds of

579
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 2: your pitches, I think you can still be successful with

580
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: good breaking balls on top of it. He's shown that,

581
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: especially because he still throw a ninety five, ninety six,

582
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: ninety seven, and those pitches are still obviously effective. Like

583
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: it's worked overall, but it's just it's it's this, it's

584
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: this lack of getting to the next gear, which is annoying.

585
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: And then you get into a situation like Friday night

586
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: where like you're pitch to contact, pitch to contact, pitch

587
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: to contact, but like sometimes that contact's not going to

588
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: be good, Like sometimes you're gonna have bad, bad the

589
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: ball up. Sometimes the ball is gonna go out of

590
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: the park. Like you just if you do this every time,

591
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: you're not always going to be successful, Like you're going

592
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: you're now just being Lance Linn, which like I don't

593
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: want Lance Line. No, we kind of we technically did

594
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 2: pay for lanceling that's all the contract he's on, but

595
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: like that's not the picture we want. We've seen sever

596
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: reach higher heights of that. We know their ceiling on there,

597
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 2: we know we think about when he came up. We

598
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: don't want everyone compare this sever Reno to twenty nineteen

599
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: seve Reno, but that Slyther was fucking films. That's what

600
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: made him the guy he is. I know he's lost

601
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 2: a lot of losty on that slider specific specifically, and

602
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: it seems like throwing that harder might have been something

603
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: that kept injuring him along with kept going for that

604
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: big back spin, vertical breaking fastball, and that's why he's

605
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: opted for more sinkers here. But there just has to

606
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: be another adjustment here because the start like he had

607
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: on Friday, which was totally fine for most of the

608
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: time and deacman to give up the Grand Slam to

609
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: added three more runs to his ledger, but it was

610
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: still just got you gottadjust back at some point. I

611
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: think he can. I think it's a good chance he does.

612
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: But it's just it's again, it's difference between lance Lynn

613
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: and like a different picture right right now, he's more

614
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: lance Linn.

615
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I don't like hearing that. I don't

616
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: like hearing that that's what he does that those are

617
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: the guys whould throw these hardcore fastball fast fastball fastball

618
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: like no one else coming to mind right now, but

619
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: like that's the beau number one pitcher. I think it

620
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: was like I throw a fastball every pitch, try and

621
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: hit it. Yeah, it's it's not a recipe for success.

622
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully they can make some changes here before they eventually

623
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: get rid of him, because he's he's gone. He's gone.

624
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: Mets fans like, why not.

625
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I think him Orman I is gonna be

626
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: gone at least at least of them. Yea, who I

627
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: think if one of them is gonna be gone, you

628
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: probably just get a little more Severino because he throws harder.

629
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: So it does does also help too that David Peterson

630
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: had another completely okay start, which is that's him. That's him. He,

631
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: this is him, this is David Peterson. And I'm just

632
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna accept it and I'm gonna say, good job, get

633
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: way to get it done.

634
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: I think I think I don't want to be mean

635
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: with any of my nicknames. We haven't done nickname rearly

636
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: this year. We've lost our figure for the nicknames. David

637
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: Pearson's nickname could very easily be mister four and two thirds.

638
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: It's a little mean, but it's like that's just kind

639
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: of who he is.

640
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: He's completely eternal, Like, yeah, he looked good, like he

641
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 2: was mixing the fastballs and the sinkers and the slyders

642
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: and change ups. They're just like and then run into

643
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,479
Speaker 2: a jam and the fifty things out of the game.

644
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: It's just like, how the funk does this happened?

645
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: Every time? Yeah? I mean like literally, it's we've talked

646
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: about David Peter as such nauseum that I'm I'm pretty

647
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: tired of talking about him, and we're not gonna break

648
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: him down because it's the same thing you've heard from

649
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: us for three years now. Nothing is changing David Peterson's

650
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: eternal shout out Louis RNZ the second best catcher in

651
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: the city of New York. That tweet got people fucking

652
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: riled up when I quote tweeted the the Luis Terrentz

653
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: hit and I was like, I can't believe we got

654
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: him for the Yankees for free, be the best catcher

655
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: on that team. They're like, well, Jose Travino, are you

656
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: kidding me? I think he might he might be the

657
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: best Yankee catcher since Pisanda. Wow, Russell Martin, you're disrepecting

658
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Russell Martin and Brian mccannon.

659
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when those guys got to that team, I

660
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: guess Russell mart they were so good.

661
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: They were so good. Mccam was not great with the Yankees'

662
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: totally fine. I'm gonna read you some of his numbers

663
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: with the Yankees. I'm so confident I'm gonna bring out

664
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: the numbers here with the Yankees. Dude, you had twenty

665
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: six home runs ninety RBI's one year with the Yankees,

666
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: twenty three ops plus is one oh five. Okay, that's

667
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: so that's worse, like a little resturns to do right now,

668
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: certainly worse defense fair, No, definitely was word. Okay, Like

669
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, he signed me up for twenty six

670
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: and ninety four for my catcher on a mega loaded

671
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: All Star team.

672
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,239
Speaker 2: Yeah sure, fuck yeah, I mean again, ninety four. That's

673
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: the team stats because those Yankee teams are jacked as

674
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 2: fuck back then.

675
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: But I know Therens is awesome. Torens is great. Really,

676
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: I really is can't wait to slot a bit for

677
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: that backup role for the next like three or four

678
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: years because he's free baby.

679
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: And also something cool this game, Buddo, I think in

680
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: the bullpen has steady a little bit. The games he

681
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: comes in significantly more confidence. He threw more pitches and

682
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: strike zone and something you'll like from this outing he

683
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: can throw one change up to a right handed bat.

684
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: The love that love.

685
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: It was all sliders to the Rioties. He mixed in

686
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: the change ups and stuff to them to the Latis.

687
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: That was really cool. But sinker sinker sliders to Rioties

688
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: was really nice.

689
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: I like seeing Buddo do that. It seems like, did

690
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: you get a strikeout? But he got a couple of swings

691
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 2: and misses. It seems like he's he's learning how to

692
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 2: be a relief pitcher, which might be the best place

693
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: for in the future. But they also can still come

694
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: in spot star. But nice that he's able to be

695
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: a team player to come in here yeah and just

696
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: be like, if we need help, I will help.

697
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because that's what jo is. Buddos. He's a man

698
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: of the people, man of the people, man of the

699
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: smart people. He's not just a brand. I don't know

700
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: if you guys seen it on Instagram. The Indian guy

701
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: who screams about that. Obviously I might contact him to

702
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: do a Jose bud. He's a man of the smart people.

703
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: I'm so down there. We should do that. That's actually

704
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: really funny. I'm not for that, but yeah, we got

705
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: some bet stuff, but we could do that. Hello Mexico,

706
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: it's stop dusted Mexico. Mexico, is it? Pron Mexico is

707
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: smart people? Stup people up Mexico. They are smart up Mexico.

708
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: Have we gotta do something with it?

709
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, we got to the Sunday game, and uh,

710
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: just shout out to non All star brothers, Nim the Door,

711
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: who's clutch than those two guys, who the fuck deserves

712
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: an All Star?

713
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: But not more than those two guys. I mean, Luis

714
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: r is probably right or Jackson Merrill or losing. I

715
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: think we'll we'll get to there. We'll get there, We'll

716
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: get there. We'll get there. Yeah I don't.

717
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 2: But again, great game where Nimo hit gets the big

718
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 2: home run because he's just a power hitter. And now

719
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: I can't that not the home run. It was double

720
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: double doubles. I got the games confused the Monday and

721
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: then and then after we blow the game, really shitty

722
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 2: way to lose the lead with Edward, he has that horrible,

723
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: miserable four pitchwalk and it's so bad. And then the

724
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: bleeding through the zone a slide they ru straight down

725
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: the middle against who the fuck was it was Nicki Gonzales.

726
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: Nick and Zales was a real Met killer. It's a fish. Yeah.

727
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 2: He just had such an abysmal month of baseball, hit

728
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: like two hundred and he just came this year against

729
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: the Mets. He was, I'm gonna do what every whatever

730
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: you need.

731
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: He had that Q shot down the first base line today.

732
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: It was like, oh my god. Yeah.

733
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: But then uh Lindor with with the big with the

734
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: big hit to put the Mets up, and never gets

735
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: a big hit, never gets big as least couch playing baseball.

736
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: Great stat from Gary Apple after this game from ciscal

737
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 2: Indoor with that hit tied, could tell Marte with the

738
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: most hits of any player in baseball this season in

739
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: the seventh inning or lay there to either tie the

740
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: game or put this team ahead.

741
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: Guy sucks nice, terrible nice. He's he's here for the

742
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: next eight years. Discuss disaster. Why would you want him

743
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: to be your shortstop?

744
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: No, god fucking most under the player base I'm happy now.

745
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: The rest of the world, besides the pygmy Mets fans

746
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: are with us.

747
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Oh. I think everybody else in baseball knows how good

748
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: he is. It's it's just this weird group of Mets

749
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: fans that still hates the guy because his name is

750
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: Francisco indoors. It's just Statn Island and Massapequa. That's it.

751
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: That's the whole shout out to Mike from Massapequa if

752
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: you're listening, and Joe from Staten Island.

753
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: That's the one and gray star from and Ia in

754
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: this game too, and he gave some great insight after

755
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: the game. Six innings, two hits, amazing. He gets a

756
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: six ining that he finally got past the thing. He

757
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: doesn't give up hits. He throws six innings.

758
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Six innings Sean and the two hits.

759
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: One of them was raised because Jeff McGill made a

760
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: great play in in left field and gunn down Joey Bart.

761
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: I think that album might have been caught stealing something,

762
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: I think, don't I don't remember whatever, don't remember, but

763
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 2: I was breaking this game down for roll the world.

764
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: I looked at Manaya in this game his sweeper was

765
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: totally different, a lot more depth and down a few

766
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: miles an hour.

767
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: So by say depth, that means it was.

768
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: Dropping more much more like vertical drop than usual, while

769
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: still having a lot of the same sweep but always

770
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: has tiny bit less but same stuff.

771
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: Why why you laughing? I'm just laughing at like you

772
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: explaining depth of Like yeah, I didn't think, like, you know,

773
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: his sweeper all of a sudden, like an existential crisis

774
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: and like thought about its life, like I mean, you

775
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: never know we're going to do there.

776
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: But he said after the game he's he was like, yeah,

777
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: you know, the sweeper, but like it kind of feels

778
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: more like a curve. Sometimes it had all that depth

779
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: to this is now it feels like a curve. Then

780
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: I think Gary er Bleben is named after the game

781
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: because we have slurve.

782
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: It's a big thing in baseball. Swerve sweeper, curve swerve.

783
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I like because it was dropping more. But

784
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: it was cool to hear him say that in his

785
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: like press compatience the game, be like, yeah, you have

786
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: the sweeper was looking good, say it felt more like

787
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: a curve ball, and that's something that was big because

788
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: the Pirates in this game did something amazing. They had

789
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: nine right handed batteries in the lineup. Yeah, so a

790
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: pitch like a sweeper. That definitely Manaia's best out pitch.

791
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: He can't throw it that much against lefties. He tries

792
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: to bury it on their feet sometimes. To adjust that pitch,

793
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: get more on top of it and have it be

794
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: more of a drop pitch. Now, it's so much better

795
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: weapon against Rythy's and a guy like a bunch of

796
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: swings and misses. It's nice, it's good, and it plays

797
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: well well off that two scene, which has been a

798
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: really amazing pitch for him.

799
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: I I don't know every star. I feel like I'm

800
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: sorrying to like Sean and I a little bit more.

801
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: I also do love how he talks to the media

802
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: after the game. He's very very open about like everything

803
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: that's going on in his head. It's cool to just

804
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: get that kind of insight, especially because like you just

805
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: can't really talk to these players very often, and then

806
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: if you do, you can't really ask him like good questions.

807
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: You have to ask like where do you want to

808
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: go get ice cream after the game. But like to

809
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: hear him actually be able to talk baseball. The way

810
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: he does is is really refreshing and stuff that we

811
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: love to see over here on the Mets of the

812
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: podcast for sure.

813
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it would be cool talk baseball baseball players.

814
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: But also just we kind of glossed over the rally,

815
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: we do have to give a lot of shine into

816
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: the Mets batting one there. Oh yeah, what they what

817
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: they did against the roles of Chapman that game on Sunday,

818
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: especially when the way the game went on Monday, it

819
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: kind of saved the entire road trip. Really, Yeah, and

820
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: it's it's a shame that, you know.

821
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: It couldn't happen to a better guy.

822
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: And roll to Chapman to have the most blown saves

823
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: he has against any team baseball against the Mets. It's

824
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: his fifth blown saving his career against the Mets. It's crazy,

825
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: most he's had against any team. So again, like, it's

826
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: nice that the Mets can have these rallies against fucking

827
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: pure dirt bags. Yes, especially it's nice to win games,

828
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: It's really nice. So it's really nice to make horrible

829
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: people lose games. Yeah, but Francisco Wilver has drew an

830
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: eight pitchwall when he was down one two Harrison Bay

831
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: the seven pitch at bad Lace as a single and

832
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: then fucking Jose Glaciers that eight pitches, multiple foul balls

833
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: and the Francisco indoor dropped. After the game, the him

834
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: and Chapman of noned they were kids playing baseball at Cuba.

835
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: It's a similar age, which is crazy dropped the catch.

836
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: When he walked Jose Glaciers, he like battle the walk screaming.

837
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, he was gett one after Chapman,

838
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: I think I think that the more I see Jose Glaciers,

839
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: the more one I fucking love him, love him and

840
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: more too. I realized that maybe as someone who's like

841
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: on the vethered minimum, some teams might not want in

842
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: the clubhouse.

843
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: You know what do you mean?

844
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of flair the Jose Glaciers

845
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: plays with where you might not want the last guy

846
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: in the roster to bring that kind of flair.

847
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: They were telling a story. I think Keith was saying

848
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: it that but you're happy he's on the Mets. I

849
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: fucking love him.

850
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: I mess the rest of the year by far, But

851
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm saying the reason because like he had a couple

852
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: of years ago where he was he couldn't catch on.

853
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: He played with full seeds of the Rockies, sit like

854
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: to Ady and played the Red Sox and the Arts

855
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: around him for a little bit.

856
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: He keeps bouncing around and playing well but not getting jobs.

857
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: I do think Keith had a story that on he

858
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: say watch Josey Glacis take warm ups. He Keith was

859
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: saying that he loves it. This is something I would

860
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: never expect him to love. They said he loved that.

861
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: Ecclesis doesn't just like fundamentally feel the ground balls like

862
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: he runs around them, he picks at them, he scoops them,

863
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: he grabs him on special hops and like tries to

864
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: make crazy throws or like I could definitely understand from

865
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: a front officer coaching perspective, maybe if you'll have a

866
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: coach or a clubhouse or a locker room that can

867
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: handle this. Not to have the last guy in the

868
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: roster bringing the most flair, gotcha. Yeah, that's my point.

869
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: That makes till sense to me. But again, fucking thrilledies

870
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: here because he changes the whole season.

871
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: No, he juiced his team up. This team we've we

872
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: know what he's got. You know he's got, James, what

873
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: he's got a little testosterone in him. He does, and again,

874
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: some teams might not need that. This team needed that,

875
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: so fit shout out to my dad. Did you see

876
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: the article from Will Salmon today about Nimo and Lindor.

877
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: Let me pull it up real quick on my phone.

878
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: Really cool stuff just about like team building and where

879
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: this team's head's at and how much I fucking love

880
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Emo and Francisco and Door the biggest snubs from

881
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. So will Samon, Francisco, Indoor, and

882
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Nimo have been paying for Mets team dinners over

883
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: the last few road trips. During their trip to Washington,

884
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: which was later than expected due to a rain delay

885
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: the previous afternoon, Nimo rented out a conference room at

886
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: their DC hotel and ordered food for everyone. Brandon Neimo said,

887
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, it would be good

888
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: for us to just take them out to a big

889
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: league dinner. All of us get together. It's on mir Francisco,

890
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: Francisco and I as leaders, just getting the guys together

891
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: more and worrying about the other guys a little bit more.

892
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I still have to take care

893
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: of what I'm doing, but I've had a lot of

894
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: time here now, so it's trying to pass on, trying

895
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: to pass that on to the next guys and help

896
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: in any way that you can. The Mets team dinners

897
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: have been one hundred per attendance as well. Wow, that's

898
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: amazing attendance. That's awesome, So like amazing. We talked about this,

899
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: and this was something that I even mentioned when I

900
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: was bringing up the Mookie Bets podcast. Every single episode

901
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: that Nimmo spoke about how they have different leaders on

902
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: this team, but it might not be easy to see that.

903
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: Brandon's like, I'm a little bit quieter. I'm still kind

904
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: of figuring out how to be taking that leadership role.

905
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: And even talked to like after the game. He was

906
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: very candid about why they're losing games and how they

907
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: need to be better, which I thought was really cool,

908
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: and he said, Francisco Indoor leads by example. Like you

909
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: watch him, He's got a great attitude. Every single day.

910
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: He comes ready to the ballpark no matter what the

911
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: situation is, and he wants to play and play hard.

912
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: So it's cool to now see that those two guys

913
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: who are going to be here for a very long

914
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: time till the end of their careers most likely are like,

915
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: this is our team. Now we're taking control. This is

916
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: what we want to do, this is how.

917
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: We help and playing incredibly good base in the process. Yeah, yeah,

918
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: ain't being fucking monsters at the top of the batting.

919
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: It is amazing to see that, and just the way

920
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: their seasons have ticked up, the way that they have

921
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: both just kind of taken over this baseball team since

922
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: they became the one two guys in this lineup, the

923
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: way they get like on Sunday it was Lindor got

924
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: the big hit, Nim got the big hit, and then

925
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: one day briefly Nima got the big hit again, massive

926
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: home run off of Mitchkellor, the only time we did

927
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: anything against him in this game. So it's just it's

928
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: basing to see that stuff. And I don't know, I

929
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: think we broke down a lot of baseball in the series.

930
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah let's talk about oh wait, no thing amazing.

931
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: But if people weren't watching the series intently, maybe in

932
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: a Foliday weekend four July, I Gavid Pittsburgh every single

933

Speaker 2: year around this time of the year is famous for

934
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 2: something very strange.

939
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: That's just part of the game.

940
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: When sex as animals, Yeah, Pittsburgh is famous for the

941
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: National Furry Convention. It happens, I think every single year.

942
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: Andrew McCutcheon Foolish Baseball have really popularized it recently, and

943
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: s n Y and Gary Keith did such a good

944
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: fucking job with the series of highlighting they paid the

945
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: chaos going around Pittsburgh.

946
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: There was a shot I love John D. Murrisco.

947
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: He's active on Twitter. S Andy does just amazing broadcasting stuff.

948
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: There was an all fairy cruise that was going down

949
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: the Alleghany during the game on Friday, and the s

950
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: Y cameras caught the tail end of it and all

951
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: you see is like a lion and a goat and

952
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 2: like all these animals like dancing on a boat. I'm

953
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 2: just like, what the fuck is going on? They kept

954
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: finding them in the crowd. Garan Keith did not stop

955
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: talking about any chance they could get. It was so

956
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: perfect with the Mets have to play this series in

957
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh every fourth of July, so we can get Gary

958
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: and Keith in the S and Y broadcast highlighting the furries.

959
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: I'd love to see us sit down with Keith in

960
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: a furry and just let him ask questions, see what

961
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: he's got this, see what's on his mind. No, and

962
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: again we're no kickshaming here. If you're into anything, you

963
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: gotta do it.

964
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: But it's just it's so funny that this can, for

965
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 2: some always coincide with baseball. And like we had Tim

966
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 2: Heally was tweeting about. He said, I I just wrote

967
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 2: the elevator with a raccoon like in my hotel. It

968
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: was just like, it's just it's funny as hell that

969
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: this can, like these weird intersections of like culture that

970
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: most baseball fans will never experience or see or understand

971
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: their lives and like that, but like some will, some

972
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 2: come to the ballparks. I saw the great furry couple

973
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: wearing Mets stuff.

974
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: I had the game. That's great, that's made it.

975
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: On Sunday, I was like, this is nice, but such

976
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: a beautiful thing that we were able to we were

977
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 2: able to get that this weekend.

978
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean That's just the perfect way to

979
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: segue into how good Brand Nemo is, because we know

980
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: he definitely would have some questions about what's going on

981
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: over there. I would almost listened.

982
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: To like a forty five minute interview of Brand Nemo

983
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: with a furry yeah.

984
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: But he he'd be so sweet and so nice, That's

985
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying nice. Asked him questions about the life,

986
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: you'd be like, tell me, tell me about this, like Keith,

987
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: Keith said, would go fucked up, Like we know he

988
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: would get it. He would ask some crazy ship like

989
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: Brandon would just be like, wow, so like you really

990
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: find fulfillment in this? Huh.

Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take Nemo next.

1028
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 2: Of the top fifteen players in baseball season and fangrass War,

1029
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: only one of them didn't make the All Star team.

1030
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: That playerson is Francisco Lindor. Oh, okay, that's a good one.

1031
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: That's a good one. The Brandon Neimo one I'll give

1032
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: you is there is only one National League outfielder with

1033
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: a higher F four than Brandon Nemo this year, and

1034
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: that's Jerks and Profar. He is number two in the

1035
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: National League, number seven in all of baseball, behind Aaron Judge,

1036
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: Wan Soto, Stephen Kuan, who are the starters for the

1037
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: American League, Jared Durant who also made the All Star team,

1038
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: and Willie Castro, who I mean, he might have some beef,

1039
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: but who cares about him. He's playing like seven different

1040
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: positions right now. He's played shortstop this year, so that

1041
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: also builds into it. Yes, okay, I have another one.

1042
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 2: Francisco Indoor here, only fifteen times in the history of

1043
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball did the player ever have fifteen homers,

1044
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: twenty five doubles and a fifteen stolen bases before the

1045
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: All Star break. Fifteen times major league history. Wow, one

1046
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 2: of them wasn't named an All Star.

1047
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: You know who was Francisco Indoor. Francisco Indoor only.

1048
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: Player in Major league history to have fifteen homers, twenty

1049
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 2: five doubles, and fifteen steals before the All Star break

1050
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: and not make it. And that's not even position, that's

1051
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: not even position. Those fifteen other players, I don't know

1052
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: how good a fucking defense they're playing, but it's not

1053
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: as good as fucking Francisco Indoor.

1054
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: This year, Brandon Neimo is eighth currently in Major League

1055
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: Baseball and WRC plus, only behind Fernando Tatist Junior, who

1056
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: he technically is tied with. He's ahead of Brian Reynolds,

1057
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: who is announced on the All Star Team. He's ahead

1058
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: of Jackson Merrill, who was announced on the All Star Team.

1059
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: He's ahead of Taskar Hernandez, who made the All Star Team.

1060
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: It's actually pretty shocking. The only other National LEAGUEUY besides

1061
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: Tatis who's ahead of him, Jerks.

1062
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 2: And Profar I have another good one here. So the

1063
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: last time fiscoaln Door made an All Star team was

1064
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. Since twenty nineteen, Fan ciscoaln Door has the

1065
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 2: seventh most F four in all of baseball. The only

1066
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: guys that are behind him. Ahead of him are Aaron Judge,

1067
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman, Wan So Though, Mookie betzs Hoser, Your Miras,

1068
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: Trey Turner. Every single one of those guys, all six

1069
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: of them, has multiple All Star appearances. Pisclen Door has zero,

1070
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: and that one I'll give it accreditation too, because he's

1071
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 2: my boss.

1072
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: DJ Short. That was DJ Short. Okay, you're gonna get

1073
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: You're gonna go long, long seasons. I know this doesn't

1074
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: help with like being an All Star this year, but

1075
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: how criminally underrated Brandon Nemo is. He also has the

1076
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: fourth hot or the tenth highest wrc plus in Major

1077
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: League Baseball among outfielders since twenty ten. And again, the

1078
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: names in front of him pretty shocking. A lot of

1079
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,479
Speaker 1: MVP awards here, a lot of Best Player in Baseball talk,

1080
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Jude, Jordan Alvarez, Juan Soto, Mike Shout, Bryce Harbor,

1081
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets, Rondacunyo Junior, Kyle Tucker, for Nam Tatis Junior, Sneak,

1082
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: and Brandon Nemo there at number ten. I have another

1083
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,479
Speaker 1: Nemo here, one for you. Word.

1084
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 2: He became a major league regular in twenty eighteen, and

1085
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: even when since he became a regular, he's still been

1086
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 2: back and forth some injuries, so a lot of the

1087
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 2: full rate stats, Brand Nemo won't always be in the

1088
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: top of the boards him. Since twenty eighteen, and this

1089
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: is all of baseball, every single player in the league,

1090
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: Brand Nemo has the ninth highest on base percentage, the

1091
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: seventeenth highest WRC plus, and the twenty third most f

1092
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: WOUR and he has never made an also team. Okay,

1093
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: that one too, That one was for Matt Eddie. I

1094
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 2: got last one here for you.

1095
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: I'll do I'll take Francisco Indoor on this last one

1096
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: because I think you guys are understanding they should be

1097
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: All Stars. Shout out at DIVA seven two seven two

1098
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: seven Alex Over on Twitter, I know this person is

1099
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: but a banger of a tweet. Highest f WOUR by

1100
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: a non All Star since twenty twenty. In the first

1101
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: half twenty twenty two, Francisco Indoor three point twenty twenty four,

1102
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: Francisco Indoors three point three twenty twenty two, Tommy Edmond

1103
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: snuck in there with a three point one, and then

1104
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: the fourth highest ever was Francisco inndoor in what year

1105
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: James twenty twenty three two point nine. So the four

1106
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: highest f wars in the last four years to not

1107
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: make the All Star team Francisco Indoors three of them,

1108
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: and the other one is Tommy Wits what three home

1109
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: runs a year? Like, come on, It's just ridiculous.

1110
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 2: And I understand that a lot of what happened was

1111
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: the constraints of every team, Yes, getting one player and

1112
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: the shortstop. The Nationals didn't have another guy team, so

1113
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: c J. Abrams, But I don't know.

1114
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: Fuck that too, because Luisa Rise made it, and he

1115
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: made it as a first he's only been playing first base,

1116
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: and he made it as a first baseman. Then to

1117
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: this All Star Game. There are four first basemen or five,

1118
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: maybe even first baseman on this roster, Pete A Lonzo

1119
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: being one of them. Sorry, Pete don't belong to be there.

1120
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: I think he would tell you he's not having an

1121
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: All Star season. Feels like they did that so they

1122
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: could force him into being into the home run derby. Honestly, Oh,

1123
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: I got the ten fall hat on for this one.

1124
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: Go oh this is this is this has Scott boards

1125
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: grubby little figures all over.

1126
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a there's a weasel the Commission's office, because

1127
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: I think Alonso was officially one of because the Commissions

1128
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 2: Office gets picks on the All Star Game, so I

1129
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: think he officially was a Commissioner Office pick, which I'm

1130
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 2: sure Scott is funny.

1131
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: Had Clay Holmes, the Commissioner won in the American League,

1132
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: I think.

1133
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 2: I think I think that's just good humor. I think

1134
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 2: that's comedy. Like, I think that's just funny.

1135
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: I was.

1136
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 2: I was with my crazy uncles this weekend and after

1137
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 2: the Yankees blew that game on Friday, should have my

1138
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 2: uncle Frankie, because there's no there's no there's no fans

1139
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: like him left it, he said.

1140
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: The df A Clay home team, he said.

1141
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 2: Never want to see him pitch again. And I was

1142
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: with him on Sunday when they also Rosstrap. I was like,

1143
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: frank you want to hit the American League All Stars?

1144
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 2: He was like yeah, And I just I started with

1145
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 2: Clay Obs as a Clay Holmes.

1146
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: Shut up, shut up, shut up. No, no, it can't be.

1147
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: He can't be serious. But it's ridiculous, I think.

1148
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: And again, like I understand the Comeran Derby, is it

1149
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: kind of at this point is the premier event of

1150
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: All Star Weekend?

1151
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: Truly is? And Pete is a great showman and he's

1152
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: fantastic in the Homer Derby. He's the first player that

1153
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: ever been the Homer Derby five straight times.

1154
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, by right, and he's done now, gonna have the

1155
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 2: second most Homer Derby appearances ever, I think, only behind Griffy,

1156
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 2: but I think the eight yeah exactly. So, Like someone

1157
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 2: had a tweet which I don't necessarily agree with, but

1158
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 2: I think it's very funny where they said, pee Alonzo

1159
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 2: still going to Homer Derby every years, like being twenty

1160
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 2: seven years old and hanging out around the high school.

1161
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: Mm yeah, not not the same. It's you know what,

1162
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: It's more like, it's more like being twenty seven, twenty

1163
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: eight years old and still only hanging out with people

1164
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: you went to high school with. I think that's kind

1165
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: of what it's like.

1166
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, same similar vibe, but just there could have

1167
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: easily been some manipulation around this roster to get either

1168
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 2: Lindor or Nimo on this team. Oh h, Nimo especially

1169
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 2: having potentially his first All Star appearance of the year,

1170
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: or Lindor especially because he's been one of the best players.

1171
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: In the nationally.

1172
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 2: The fan of only thinking is also bullshit, Like Trey

1173
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 2: fucking Turner Baseball this year. It's fucking so stupid, like

1174
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: they should not be allowed to boil the guy in

1175
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: who hasn't played just because their city is ravenous with pride.

1176
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: At Mundososa should have been on the ballot over Trey Turner.

1177
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a little saying should have been Foyle had

1178
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball wants to keep praise to school Indoor

1179
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: down and I'm just like I I understand, like Elie

1180
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,479
Speaker 1: d'elo Cruz deserve truly, and you know what, he should

1181
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: have been the star of their trade. Turners shouldn't even

1182
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: be on this team. He's give him a couple fucking

1183
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: days off. Who cares?

1184
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: It should have been Ellie Landor And then I guess

1185
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 2: the Abrams like that makes perfect fucking sense to me.

1186
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 2: But the fact that they manipulate this roster PiZZ on

1187
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: the team over so many other first basements. Well, Christian

1188
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 2: Walker is having a better season than Pee Alonzo by

1189
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 2: every stretch of the worst, not even close. P Alonzo

1190
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: this year is seventh among nationally blue players in war

1191
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 2: and and he's what fourth it third in home runs.

1192
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 2: Like that's not pet A Lonzo isn't really having that

1193
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 2: good of the year. He's playing fine, Like it's it's

1194
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 2: it's so stupid, it's so annoying. They did this just

1195
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 2: for the home run derby and like I'm sure there's

1196
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 2: even like a bit of an awkwardest repeat, Like I

1197
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: know all they also the right thing as a game,

1198
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: like Pee Serse is having a great years of one

1199
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: of most important players. But if you objectively ask the

1200
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: met fan, I think they would tell you that he's

1201
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: been like the fifth or sixth most important position player

1202
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: in this team this year.

1203
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: Oh definitely, yeah, I mean, and that's just also the

1204
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: bigger conversation about Pete Alonso too, if that were exactly

1205
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: the end of the year, is like should we be

1206
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: paying a first baseman as much money as Scott Borst

1207
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: wants us to pay him. That's the conversation. We'll talk

1208
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: about that more later. No, totally. But also again, I

1209
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: was just talking about War in National League. Get you

1210
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: know where Lewis Ris ranks for War in the National League? Oh?

1211
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: I know. He is the thirteenth ranked second baseman in

1212
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 1: the National League in terms of F four because I

1213
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: am a prime Lewis Rise hater. Where where's the rank

1214
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: first baseman?

1215
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: Tenth And he's tied with drymmer Candelario and it's point

1216
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 2: point one War ahead of Connor Joe, who has had

1217
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: one hundred and eight fewer played appearances.

1218
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty good. I mean, yeah, he's got the

1219
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: most hits in baseball, James, Come on, dude, that's the

1220
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: only singles.

1221
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 2: Oh you want to focus on hitting? Yeah, let's folks

1222
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 2: on hitting. Yeah, okay, like a good hitting status. I

1223
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 2: like w RC plus it's kind of heard of this

1224
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: next everything that like you do in your season. And

1225
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 2: he is in terms of first baseman national league, he's

1226
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:57,959
Speaker 2: the eighth most of yours.

1227
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, well that's you. But at first basement

1228
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: on the All Star team, I'm saying, I mean they

1229
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: almost did. They tried to.

1230
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: It's just fucking like how many Padres Juninas, fucking team

1231
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 2: they're not even having that a wild card team. Nimmo's

1232
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: having such a good years all start, he's never made

1233
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 2: an All Star team.

1234
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what, you know what, when Luise

1235
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: Rise gets in that bad against Mason Miller, it's gonna

1236
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: be electric to see him just bleop a single over

1237
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: the short stops head. I mean, I won't forget it.

1238
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: It's Tony Gwinn reincarnate. Yeah, that's that's a matchup. I'll

1239
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: be telling my children about. I'll remember when Luise Rise

1240
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: faced Mason Miller, like.

1241
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 2: I always, I always tell myself, I'm not gonna get

1242
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 2: worked up about shit like this, but you always then

1243
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 2: like and then just that, and justice happens to the

1244
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 2: players I like, and I get fucking mad, I get pissed,

1245
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 2: like I just I literally when it, when it came out,

1246
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't put it.

1247
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't didn't believe it. I was I was not

1248
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: surprised Lindor, just because it's happened three times now to

1249
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: him as a met Like I I was fully expecting

1250
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna make it, just because fuck you, Francisco, Lindor. Apparently,

1251
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: when Brandon Neimo did not make it, I was I

1252
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: was in score with my friends. I was like, no, nimo,

1253
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: it was like, where is he? Where'd he go?

1254
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: It took a while for him to even announce the

1255
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 2: reserves in the National League. So I actually saw the

1256
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 2: Tim Healy tweet first before anything came out that the

1257
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: Mets confirmed, and I was just I, it's all about

1258
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 2: the bullshit with the home run Derby, that really is.

1259
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: It's nice to have beating hormerun Derby. It's a fun thing.

1260
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 2: But like this fifth trade time, Like if he was

1261
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 2: defending like a four time champion, I'd be like, yeah,

1262
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 2: you gotta keep going, keep going, keep going. But now

1263
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 2: and like in the beginning of his career also have

1264
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: said it because like a million bucks.

1265
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: And also like building your brand totally.

1266
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 2: But the brand's been built. He's already making tons of arbitration.

1267
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 2: The payday is coming, like he does all for charity now,

1268
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 2: which again's a great thing. I'm like, I am, I'm

1269
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 2: genuinely excited to watch Pilanza with Hormer Derby.

1270
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: Like it will be a great root as it always is.

1271
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: But for this to be the reasons in the All

1272
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: Star Game is laughable. It feels like that's why he

1273
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: got in. Why do you have to be in the

1274
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: being the homer Derby is at the rule don't have

1275
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: to why? Why? Like I want one cry now more, guys,

1276
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: Now he's in Texas, you might as well be in

1277
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: the home run Derby. And I don't have to get

1278
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: you to go to dex Axis for one day to

1279
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: go home, Like that's a much harder sell. Yeah, I guess.

1280
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: Also, I've just gotta Twitter open right now. Zachi, you

1281
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: just posterized your boy Walker Kessler. Well, Walker Kesler has

1282
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 2: been traded.

1283
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: He's not my boy traded traded that Walker Kesler until

1284
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: he becomes a nick couldn't care less. Also, what the

1285
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: fuck is Walker Kesler doing playing in the summer league?

1286
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: He's just start No, I don't know. It's not really anymore.

1287
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: I have no where basketball talk.

1288
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: But again I told myself when getting mad about this,

1289
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: I just I got super mad about it.

1290
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: I got so mad.

1291
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 2: It was more about Nimo because again keeps happening to Lindor,

1292
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 2: and I think that he doesn't give a ship like. Also,

1293
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure a guy like Lindor is like, give me

1294
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 2: four days with the fam.

1295
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 1: He'll be awesome. I love to spend time with his daughter.

1296
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico or like Antie where something probably have a

1297
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 2: great make him make a week out of it.

1298
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: Fucking deserves it. Man, he's never made the Alstar Game.

1299
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: It's bullshit. He's one of the best out feelers in baseball.

1300
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: They won't let them in. Oh, all you have to

1301
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: do is tweet that brand Nimo is one of the

1302
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: most underrated players in baseball. And that's the litmus test

1303
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: of if you know ball or not. People answering no,

1304
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: he's not met by some like you actually are fucking stupid.

1305
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: Congratulations you outed yourself. I got so pissed about that.

1306
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's bust anymore. Do you have

1307
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: any other snubs? I know you did. You to the

1308
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: video today and yeah, I mean there was there was

1309
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: a couple of snubs, not necessarily from the Mets, some

1310
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: of the guys I mentioned, like I thought Jake Irvin

1311
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: had had beef with maybe not making the All Star team.

1312
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 2: But that was also my thought with both him McKenzie

1313
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: Gore with the c j Abrams. Think again, it's like

1314
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 2: it becomes politics, where like eight c j Abrams is

1315
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 2: significantly more exciting than Jake Gerving.

1316
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: I took a more fun approach to the snubs this year.

1317
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't given the biggest of names, like obviously I

1318
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: put Nimo and Lindor in there, but I went Anthony

1319
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: Santan there because he just went off. He has twenty

1320
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: two home runs. I think he should make it. Christian Walker.

1321
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: Christian Walker was on there. Josh Smith. I can't believe

1322
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Simeon made the All Star team with a six

1323
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: eighty oh ps, which is just criminal.

1324
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 2: You want to know this about Marcus Simeon over his

1325
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 2: last twenty games, he's hitting one hundred.

1326
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,479
Speaker 1: That's exactly, hitting one hundred over twenty games. Now, yeah,

1327
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: quite bad.

1328
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 2: So this but this is the thing we always tell

1329
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 2: people about beginning the season. Milisees ended the season. Where

1330
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: if Marcusini started the season like that's an All Star Yeah,

1331
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 2: but he hit that cold streak after a good month,

1332
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 2: it's just.

1333
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: So oh, here's the other one sometimes. Jack Flaherty, I

1334
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: thought Jack Flarherty had some beef. He's got the second

1335
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: highest hay per walk in all the league. Cad Smith

1336
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: from the Guardians, I thought had to be if they're

1337
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: gonna put on all these other random mideral levers. I

1338
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: think Kate Smith should be on there. He's been incredible,

1339
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: I said McGill. Jordan Westburg might have been the most

1340
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: robbed guy in the American League, considering that Marcus Simon

1341
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: made it over him and Bryce Terrang. Bryce ter Rang

1342
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: deserved to make the All Star team this year. He

1343
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: is just a better player than Luis Rise at every

1344
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: aspect except getting singles. Yeah he does get a lot

1345
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: of singles too, but yes, but he's just not better

1346
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: at him at it. The Rise thing is super annoying.

1347
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know it.

1348
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 2: Just MLB makes these decisions, so I know they want

1349
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 2: to market, but I think some of the the best

1350
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 2: way of market baseball, I think is baseball good baseball.

1351
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, not not narratives and should he this? We'll

1352
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: say a lot of the other picks awesome. I actually

1353
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: think the rest of the roster has been great. It's

1354
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: just the misses were agreedious this year. Yeah, and the

1355
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: clay Homes think it was fucking bizarre after they say

1356
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 1: them on Friday. It was weird. But it's all right.

1357
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and do the Nationals preview year before

1358
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: we put a nice Little Bow on the end of

1359
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: this episode. I mean we saw them recently. What are

1360
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: the picturing matchups? What do we get? And we're not

1361
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: gonna go too deep into the one. No.

1362
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we literally just saw them and you guys just

1363
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 2: saw how fucking annoying they can be. So it is

1364
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 2: not like I remember the Anthony Dicomo tweet. We're not

1365
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 2: discounting the Nationals like for some reason they just like

1366
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 2: to do we just like we did not do the

1367
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 2: Pirates because we split that fucking series. But pitching matchup

1368
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 2: going to the National Series we have on Tuesday evening

1369
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 2: asof Jose Katana versus Jake Irvin. Asof Wednesday evening, Louis said,

1370
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 2: Runo versus Patrick Corbin.

1371
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: That's just the battle of guys who the yank Yankee.

1372
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 2: Fans thought we're gonna be one and two forever there

1373
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: and then Thursday afternoon another as off. I think we're

1374
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: both gonna be the building for this one. David Peterson

1375
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 2: versus Mackenzie Gore left the specialty.

1376
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: Oh man, that really changes how to go to that game.

1377
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: I want to watch Mackenzie Gore, truthfully, I really do.

1378
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we got I don't know if your comments

1379
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: on the last video, they were like someone commented zero

1380
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: to thirteen twenty nine Nationals podcast thirteen thirty to the

1381
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: End Mets Podcast. Now we talked so much about the Nationals.

1382
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean we were drunk, we were hammered, and we

1383
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: were like, this team's really good guys. They got fun.

1384
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 2: Players, like they're fun, Like I really respect the way

1385
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 2: they built it. Man, Like that was like you just

1386
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 2: listening to a drunk conversation. But Mark, like that happens

1387
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 2: every other week in a booth and rock and rolla

1388
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 2: But Alan the national team is pesky there annoying.

1389
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: C James is good.

1390
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 2: I think James Wood seems to getting better every day.

1391
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: He had a bad play on Sunday.

1392
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: Did you see the pop up he dropped that led

1393
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: to drop that? Yeah, yeah, he just let it fall.

1394
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 2: R In from Tjhurs looked upset and thes got sent

1395
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: down because of it. So Jameson might take him money

1396
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 2: off Tate's pocket.

1397
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: Juan Yepez one of your boys. He's on the Nationals.

1398
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: Did you know that? Yeah?

1399
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: They called him up last week and he's good. He

1400
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 2: I know he's gonna have a big hit the series,

1401
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 2: Oh for sure. His dad loves me.

1402
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: I put him in my top ten prosper first base

1403
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: during like the blackout lockout thing that was going on,

1404
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: and his dad replies, like someone understands how good my

1405
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: son is. It's like, I fucking love that. Let's go.

1406
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 2: But also again, like facing two soft tossing lefties, like

1407
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 2: Yepez is gonna be ready to ready to kick this happy.

1408
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 2: We're gonna the opportunity to face Patrick Corbyn. I wanted

1409
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 2: I'd like to see that. I would like to do

1410
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 2: well against him. But otherwise, again, like we just saw

1411
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 2: how good Irvin and McKenzie gore can be this Nationals bullpen.

1412
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 2: We got to them last series, but it was just

1413
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 2: the davi our. Tinez doesn't care about numbers or excels,

1414
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: so he's gonna ride these guys into the grave.

1415
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: That's what he likes to do.

1416
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 2: And I think they were off on Monday, so they're

1417
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 2: gonna have a fully rest of ballplay while we're still

1418
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: pretty belieguer So you get out the Rvey GUESSI Finnigan

1419
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 2: guess was that guys nam Garcia, j Garcia, Robert Garcia,

1420
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 2: Robert Garcia, rober Garcia.

1421
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: That was it. But the solid baseball team. We just

1422
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: saw them.

1423
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 2: If you could sweep this series, you kind of put

1424
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 2: the Nationals in the dirt. If you could win two

1425
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 2: out of three, you really distance yourself from them. You

1426
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 2: kind of push them out of the playoff race once

1427
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 2: and for all. But if they went two out of three,

1428
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 2: like they're suddenly kind of back in, they kind of

1429
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 2: have they kind of got the got confident walk again.

1430
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: Definitely play some good baseball and hopefully the Mets. Mets

1431
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: bring their a game any there's one more thing to

1432
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: talk about before we wrap up the podcast. Someone in

1433
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: the Mets world photographer, the Mets official photographer, Mark Levine

1434
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: passed away suddenly this weekend. Me and James met him

1435
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: a couple times while we were working with the team.

1436
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: Super nice guy. He's worked for them for thirty five years.

1437
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,720
Speaker 1: He's taken any any official Mets photo. You've basically seen

1438
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: basically in your lifetime. Most most people. Mark Levin was

1439
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: a big part of it. I think there was a

1440
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: great story where they're saying, I think his first day

1441
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: ever was when Doc and Daryl had the fight during

1442
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: the team pictures. I think that was one of his

1443
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: first days ever working for the Mets, and he was

1444
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: either right involved in the in the fight and like

1445
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: right in the scrum or he got the pictures of

1446
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 1: them just beating the shit out of each other. Uh,

1447
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's super sad passed away suddenly. And

1448
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: he really was a great guy. Yeah, and it's just

1449
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: having a chance to like being the team for a

1450
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: while and meet some of these people. Mark was always

1451
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: really kind and really gracious to us. People were just

1452
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: who kind of like part time in and out. Like

1453
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: he invited us to a big team dinner and spring

1454
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: training that sadly, Mark and I our dietary restrictions we

1455
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 1: couldn't attend. It was a hard thing to explain awkward,

1456
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: but I think everyone's fine about It's just he it's

1457
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: like one of those really good people that, like, I

1458
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of fans don't realize how much goes

1459
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: into like every organization, every single game day, every single

1460
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: thing that you see.

1461
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 2: It look so easy. And Mark was a big part

1462
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 2: of internal things that happened with him. And uh, just

1463
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 2: you know, it's a this this is a funny one too.

1464
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 2: From someone else we used to work with the mes,

1465
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 2: Liz Flynn, who was one of Mark's ub photographers on

1466
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 2: the staff, and she said the first on her first day,

1467
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 2: her first spring training, she had to her light exploded

1468
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 2: and they helped her like take the pictures and get

1469
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 2: new lights so she didn't to take to all the pictures.

1470
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: In the dark. Wow, So I think that was it

1471
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: was cool.

1472
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 2: And even the spring straining we were I remember Liz

1473
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 2: was in her boot yea and Mark was like helping her,

1474
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 2: like carrying stuff first. So it seemed like really, I

1475
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 2: mean that seemed like we knew he was really nice guy.

1476
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 2: No one had a bad thing and say about him,

1477
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 2: and just sad thing when a member of the organization

1478
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 2: goes like that. And classy move by the Pirates to

1479
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 2: do any memoriam moment of silence in a game.

1480
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: I think it was on Monday. Yeah, I have no

1481
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,919
