29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: Really good? Notice that you gave the Bassett Schurezer to

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: gram Trio the Big Three name the Big Three.

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,279
Speaker 3: Interesting, you just did that off the cuff.

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: I just did that off the cuff, didn't. That wasn't planning,

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: That wasn't written down anywhere in our notes. I mean,

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: you did all the notes today. I didn't type anything.

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: We were out in Washington for Game two and i've

37
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: I've come home. Since then, I have sat on my couch.

38
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: It took a nap. I really didn't do much since then.

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: I watched I watched the game, though I watched Game three.

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: There you go, of course, that's the least you could

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: probably do. I have a hectic day since I took

42
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: a short nap after we got back, and then I worked.

43
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: I went for a run made some food and did

44
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: all of this. Now we're here nice I just recording.

45
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: I feel like the last forty eight hours, last seventy

46
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: two hours, especially with the trade deadline and personally for

47
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: me moving into the new apartment, it has been absolute chaos.

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: Plus going to DC, plus coming back, it's been absolutely insane.

49
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: And I feel like that's a perfect way to start

50
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: this episode. Let's talk about the trade deadline just wrapped

51
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: up yesterday. The Mets made some moves. Mets also didn't

52
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: make some moves in terms of what other people thought

53
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: they should have made. But honestly, at the end of

54
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: the day, James, I'd love to get your opinion as

55
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: what you thought this deadline was for the Mets.

56
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: I thought that was fine. I thought the Mets just

57
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: kind of almost identified every single hole they had and

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 3: like plugged as many as they saw fit to plug.

59
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: They didn't get a catcher, We knew that. But I

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: think that everyone when they think about trades, they always

61
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 3: think about the players going in, but they think less

62
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: about not the players going out in the trade, but

63
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: the players going out of a roster. So if the

64
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: Mets were to acquire any kind of starting caliber catcher,

65
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: they would have had to designate one of their catchers

66
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: for assignment. It seems like they, at least for varying reasons,

67
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: have are high on them and not maybe not even

68
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: high on them. But it's just I don't know. We

69
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: spent were spending a lot of time hitting around this team.

70
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: I could never imagine them designating Tomas Neto for assignment

71
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: the way that he's like become a bit of an

72
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: emotional either and as as highly as all the pitchers

73
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: speak about him.

74
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: And I don't think it would be James McCann, who

75
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: signed to a pretty decent contract with the Mets. He's

76
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: coming back from injury, I know, but like would Wilson

77
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Contrere's been an upgrade for this team offensively, no doubt.

78
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: I mean, he is just one of the best hitting

79
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: catchers in all of baseball right now. But also at

80
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: the same time, he didn't get traded. He's still on

81
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs. There was clearly a really really high

82
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: asking price on a guy like Wilson Contraras, especially because

83
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: they were trying to remember when they were trying to

84
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: package him up with David Robertson and then they I

85
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: don't want to say, trade him to Philly for scraps,

86
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: but they showed him for one prospect.

87
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: That one prospect did get a lot of flak online.

88
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: People were just making fun of the fact that it

89
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: was some guy named Benny Brown no one heard of,

90
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: but we looked into him. He's actually a pop up prospect.

91
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: This year, Phillies have had a couple of their lower

92
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: miners pitching prospects just get good all of a sudden.

93
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: Andrew Brown's a guy open, not Andrew Brown. Bent. Brown

94
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: is a guy they drafted of high school who took

95
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: taken a few years, but seems like he's matured. He's

96
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: averaging like it was like almost eleven shrekouts for nine right.

97
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been really good.

98
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: I mean like because I think a lot of Mets

99
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: fans were specifically angry at that trade because it seemed

100
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: like the Phillies gave up a prospect that wasn't very good.

101
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 3: Because the tweet went around that he was ranked like

102
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: twenty eighth of all Phillies prospect because that was a

103
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: ranking from the preseason before he got good, and.

104
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: That was also like foolish too, because like MLB pipeline

105
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: rankings relatively for the most part are kind of nonsense.

106
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: Really at the end of the day, like you know,

107
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: the top five guys are usually legit, but outside of that,

108
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: it's kind of just all nonsense.

109
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 3: And the biggest thing there was that David Robertson's a

110
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: pitcher that everybody knows. He's popular and famous, so it's

111
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: an easy thing to be like, we didn't get this guy,

112
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: and that's his name, and now I'm upset. And also

113
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: the one thing that was I would say somewhat disappointing

114
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: that the Mets did not get that lefty reliever A

115
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: lot of people wanted, including both of us. But I

116
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: think they're just gonna ride with internal options like they

117
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: still have. Alex Claudio has been medium of I don't know,

118
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 3: I don't have.

119
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: He's just he's a he's a wily veteran. I'll call

120
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: him that. He's a wily veteran, rafty, he's crafty. He

121
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: he's herky jerk. He throws like submarine side arm left

122
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 2: handed stuff. Like I think also to the left handed

123
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: reliever need is being overblown. It's not necessarily that. I

124
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: don't think the Mets could have improved there. I'm not

125
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: saying that I would have liked a better left handed option.

126
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: Of course, I think that would have been an improvement

127
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: for this team, But especially with Juan Soto now leaving

128
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: this division and Bryce Harper being out for the year,

129
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: the big left handed bats are down to what like

130
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: Matt Olsen. That's kind of it.

131
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: That's not even what it's avow. It's not about the

132
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: big the big lefty bats in your division. It's just

133
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: about being able to mix and match better at the

134
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: end of games against whoever. And also we say Matt

135
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: Olson against lefties. He has two home runs off David

136
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: Peterson already this year. Yah.

137
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And like I think with the three batter

138
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: minimum rule too, you should be focused on relievers that

139
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: are gonna get everybody out rather than a guy who's

140
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: just one sided.

141
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, just good pictures, Like if you're getting a Rethy reliever.

142
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: Let's say the Me's got a Riley reliever who we

143
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: think might be pretty good, Like if that's as valuable

144
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: as getting a lefty one. I think it's just people

145
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: kind of have these checkboxes and they watching their own

146
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: team the trade deadline, and then none of boxes. Yeah.

147
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 3: I understand the anger, I don't understand the level of anger. No, No,

148
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: I understand like a bit of disappointment. I understand being

149
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: underwhelmed is the word we could use, But I don't

150
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: understand people being like this was a wasted opportunity, like

151
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: we I mean, it may be theoretically is a waste

152
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: of opportunity, but I don't know. I don't know what

153
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: move the Mets really could have made that could have

154
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: quenched these thirsts.

155
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: It feels like everyone was like for the left handed

156
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: reliever calling for Chafin, who I know we've talked about

157
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 2: in this podcast too has looked good. But again, like

158
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: it seems like the price for these guys were really high.

159
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: And I do I trust the Mets internals right now.

160
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: We've talked about highly about how smart this organization has got,

161
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: how many numbers guys, how many dudes that are just

162
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: way smarter than we can even imagine Ben Zausmer being

163
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: like the head of those numbers. And I just trust

164
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: that they understand the value that these guys would have

165
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: in and must have realized that it was marginal based

166
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: on what they would have had given up, you know,

167
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: and even just.

168
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 3: Marginal based on what they would have been improving on

169
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: what they already had. Like I don't know, Like I

170
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: just think that this Mets bullpen has gotten too much

171
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: flak this year for being something that's not even that bad.

172
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: And it also seems like they are gonna commit to

173
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: trying out David Peterson in a bullpen role given the

174
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: health of the rest of the rotation. Like if he

175
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: gave two outings there already they didn't go particularly well.

176
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: But it seems he's gonna start this weekend for the

177
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: double Heather. We're gona talk about the Braves all the

178
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: way at the end of this episode, but it seems

179
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: like that is someone who's gonna be a lefty relieve

180
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: for us. And they also got Philip deal last weekend,

181
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: the Naquin deal, So I don't know what's gonna happen.

182
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: But before we just talked about like big picture things,

183
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: we gotta just talk about the two players the Mets

184
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: did actually acquire, Yes, Michael Gibbons and Darren Ruff. I'm

185
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: gonna start Michael Gibbins because he just had a horrific

186
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: outing and Mets fans are ready to literally literally just

187
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: throw him off and throw them off.

188
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: The yeah Bridge, I'm gonna defer to you on this

189
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: one because I know you're the pitching gal. I'll ta

190
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: Darren Ruff after this, But like it is, it's it's

191
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: very fitting.

192
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: Oh, it's amazing. It's nothing better than it.

193
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: Well even with U. I guess we'll talk about it

194
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: in Game two afterwards. But then, like the perfect storm

195
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: of overreactions was like the last forty eight hours for

196
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: Mets fans.

197
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. But I'm just gonna help everyone try and

198
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: get back to the level because I do believe that Michael

199
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: Gibbons is good. He's a guy who's always had pretty

200
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: good results in his career despite pitching four not only

201
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: at the time some of very dumb organizations, but the

202
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: worst ballparks in all Baseball to pitch in Colorado, Cincinnati,

203
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: Baltimore before the fans that got moved in Where's three

204
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: teams before this year, and he was still like a

205
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: guy with good results over his career. I did my

206
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: relief pitcher free agent rankings in the offseason. I think

207
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: he was like inside my top ten along with Adam

208
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: on the Vino, Jake Diekman, and and Chaefin was towards

209
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: the back end of that and not Familia not I'm

210
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: not gonna do that. I can't go through it all that.

211
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't worry about it now.

212
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, givens if anyone did watch him today and like

213
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: didn't like pull their hair out. He has a very

214
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: unique release point on his fastball. He gets a really

215
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: good extension, but he's also kind of like this like

216
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: side army thing, which is really similar to your favorite

217
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: pitcher Paul See. Yes, that's kind of the exact same

218
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 3: mold there, because he has the good fastball that has

219
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: like slightly above average velossity something like ninety four to

220
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: ninety five, gets up to ninety six, but with really

221
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 3: good ride. So has that rising action which is more

222
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 3: unique because he comes from a side arm he still

223
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 3: gets a good backsman on it. And he has a

224
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: really good slider that he's been throwing more this year

225
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: that helped him to have one of the best halves

226
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: they ever had in his career from when he came

227
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 3: this year with the Cubs before he got traded here,

228
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: and even with that slider being thrown more this year,

229
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: expect Jeremy Hefner just he's done that basically every pitcher

230
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: on this team to be like throwing more. And he

231
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: also has a legit change up that was always the

232
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 3: secondary pitch in his career. And the fact that he's

233
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: like a true three pitch reliever is like something pretty

234
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: rare in the league. It's not many guys you could say,

235
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: like they have three plus pitches, Like he had a

236
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 3: thirty percent of strike up rate with the Cubs this

237
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: year two six ERA and Wednesday was terrible. But Wednesday

238
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 3: was the first time he'd allowed an earned run since

239
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 3: June fourteenth, seventeen appearances.

240
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: He was due, He was due. It just happened to

241
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: be great time.

242
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 3: To do it. Yeah, It's just it was definitely the

243
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: perfect storm of people being like, we got this reliever

244
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 3: who I don't really recognize and who I I'm just

245
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: gonna I did not like because his name is Nandrew

246
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: Chaffin or David Robertson, and now I'm gonna freak out

247
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: because it gave up runs against Nationals in his first game.

248
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially after what happened in Game two, losing to

249
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: the Nationals a game too. Like it was it was

250
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: the perfect storm again. And then to talk about the

251
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: other pickup that they got, Darren Ruff. He's good. He's

252
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: good at what he does. He crushes left handed pitcher.

253
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: I got some I got some slack on the internet

254
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: on social media, flack flat, well, both I got. I

255
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: got a little bit of both.

256
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna use call like, if someone gives

257
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: you slack, that'd be a good thing. That means they

258
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: give you more room.

259
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: I thought you could catch a little slack too, you know,

260
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: is that it's just flack.

261
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: It's catching flak giving.

262
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm so bad at these sayings. It's shockingly I'm

263
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: all really close. I'm like my dad, my dad does

264
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: this night this. That just hit me that I'm very

265
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: similar to my dad, which is quite the revelation. But anyways,

266
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: catching a lot of flak on Twitter because I said

267
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: Darren Rush, Darren Rush, Darren Ruff crushes lefties. Really struggling

268
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: out here today, and he does. He has like an

269
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: eight seventy ops against lefties this year. The reason his

270
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: numbers down this year compared to last year is that

271
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: the Giants just played him straight up more. Last year

272
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 2: he basically only played against left handed pitching and his

273
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 2: numbers were really good, and this year he had to

274
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 2: play against righty's a lot more.

275
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: So.

276
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not a complete player in the way that

277
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: you don't want him facing a top right handed reliever

278
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: in the game. But the way that the Mets have

279
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: now built out this roster, he takes a spot of J. D. Davis,

280
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: who obviously got traded in this move, and then you

281
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: have a guy like Daniel vogelback or even Tyler Naquin

282
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: taking over that Dom Smith spot, where now they're the

283
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: improved DH platoon combo whatever it's going to be, and

284
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: those three guys all do their one thing really really well.

285
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: Darren Ruff is one of them. He's also had an

286
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: incredibly hot like last two months.

287
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Roff, you mentioned it before, but he was playing

288
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 3: every single day for the first two months of the

289
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: year because the Giants were just irrecoverably banked up. Yeah,

290
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: so he put basically an every day player. His stats

291
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: were terrible and it was kind of hurting his entire game,

292
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: which is funny. He had more at bats against righty's

293
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: then lefties for the first two months of the year,

294
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: which is something that he didn't do very much at

295
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: all last year, and over those two months he had

296
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: zero home runs. Since they put him back in his

297
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: preferred role of just kind of facing the lefties. He

298
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: has eleven home runs since May first, and that's not

299
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: really the biggest sample for a lot of these hitting stats.

300
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: But since my first he has a three twenty io won,

301
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: sixty five WRC plus, and nine forty six ops against

302
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: left hands of pitching crushes it.

303
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean, what was this that you told me on

304
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: the train yesterday about his home runs?

305
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: I'd sweet that Darren Ruff has more home runs. It's

306
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: so mean. He has more home runs since May first

307
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 3: of this year than JD. Davis has since the beginning

308
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty one. Yeah, eleven versus nine. It's tough.

309
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: It's really tough, but it's true.

310
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, and I get a JD. Davis was like

311
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 2: our guy. We had some really good moments with him.

312
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: I wish the best for him out in San Francisco.

313
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: Go kill it, go, go have a great year. I

314
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: really won't bother me, especially he's going back home. I'm

315
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: sure it's gonna be nice for him too, And.

316
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: There's a chance he does put it a good and

317
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: have that great year. Just needs to make more contact.

318
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 3: But that we couldn't spend this next two months like

319
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 3: worrying about JD. Davis development just give me someone who

320
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: could do it and along with that power against lefties,

321
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: Darren Ruffs that's one of the highest walk rates in baseball,

322
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: about twelve percent. Like him and volgel Back together just

323
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: like like tie and tire tire rope around them, they're

324
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: one DH now and they're elite.

325
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're They're really good at what they do. Good

326
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: at bats, crush the opposite arms that they see, and

327
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean we saw it this weekend too, or this

328
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: week with Daniel Vogelback. Dude, dude swings the bat really

329
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: well against rdys.

330
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: And people were upset about the return this trade because

331
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: the Mets gave up four players for someone who's like

332
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 3: as one dimensional as it gets. But there's also two

333
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: single A pitchers who kind of popped up this year.

334
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: Who I mean, there's like not even a great chance

335
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: either of those guys ever reached the Major as if

336
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: they do, is a better chance it's as a reliever

337
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 3: than as a starter. And then Thomas A. Paki, who

338
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: Mets fans were ready to again like similarly to Michael

339
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: Gibbs throw off a bridge like a few weeks ago.

340
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: And then J. J. Davis, who was just like probably

341
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: the forty met spot.

342
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: But that, yeah, that's it. At some point you have

343
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: to move on, and it felt like it was the

344
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: appropriate time to move on from JD. I think the

345
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: guy is still a really good hitter, but it just

346
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: doesn't feel like right now with this Mets team, he

347
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: fits into this roster, especially if we are trying to win. Now.

348
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: I know there was other bats you could have gone after.

349
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: Theoretically fits into the Mets roster. He just wasn't like

350
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: exactly performing.

351
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like, it's just with

352
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: that performance, you can't really continue to run a guy

353
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: out there every single day, or at least against the

354
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: lefties when you can get better options, which is what

355
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: they did with Darren Ruff. He has no doubt better

356
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: than JD. Davis against left handed pitching right now, one

357
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: hundred percent. He's also been hitting.

358
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: This is hilarious and it's just kind of just being

359
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: like being goofy, but he has been significantly better at

360
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: the plate than was JD. Martinez over the last three

361
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: months as well.

362
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: That's a phone one and JD's swinging the bat well too.

363
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: JJ has not really swung the bat well. JD had

364
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: amazing a good April, a really amazing May, and July, yeah, June, July.

365
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: He's just really just fallen off a little bit, which

366
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: is kind that could happen to a player when he

367
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: gets olds, just the downs like to sneak up on you.

368
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: And not saying that Darren russ Ben and JD Martinez.

369
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that his last two months of results

370
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: have bet than JD Martinez. So you in baseball, you

371
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: can find you can find production in many different ways,

372
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: and I think the Mets are trying to find their

373
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 3: production unique ways right now.

374
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I really didn't think coming out of this

375
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: deadline we would improve as much as we did, which

376
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: is gonna be hard for a lot of people to hear.

377
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: They probably were just like improve. We got Darren Ruff,

378
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: we got Daniel.

379
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: Vogel, who are the one guy told me the Mets

380
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: got worse because we traded Colin Holderman.

381
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: That's just patent Lee incorrect. I mean, that's that's so bad.

382
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: But like I mean, you think about the moves they made.

383
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: You got Naquin, that's an improvement over Jenkowski. You got

384
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: Darren Ruff, that's an improvement over JD. You got Daniel

385
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: volgelback that's an improvement over Dom. Trevor May came back today,

386
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: looked good at an inning, which we'll talk about later.

387
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: And Michael Gibbons was an improvement on whoever's gonna be

388
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: the last arm in the bullpen. So this message even.

389
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: If you think he's the last arm of the bullpen, yeah,

390
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: then the old last guy.

391
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's better than Steven Nagsik or Joan Lopez, whoever

392
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: takes up that last spot on a given day. But

393
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I just don't I

394
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: understand why people are upset because, like we said at

395
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: the beginning of this, you didn't get the big name.

396
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: You didn't get the you didn't get the headline, you

397
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: didn't get the back page of the paper. You see

398
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: the Frankie Montos and you didn't get the back page

399
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: of the paper.

400
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: Last year, the Mets dick at the back page of

401
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: the paper. The guy produced really well. He was one

402
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: of the better in terms of you're only looking at production,

403
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: in fact better in a vacuum looking at production. One

404
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: of the better trade deadline acquisitions in the modern era, literally,

405
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: especially at the plate, and Mets fans are miserably fairy.

406
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: You win, you can't win with some Mes fans.

407
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: No, you can't win. And we really do hope that

408
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: those of you who are listening who were upset about

409
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: this trade deadline, hopefully we've been able to maybe talk

410
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: you off the ledge a little bit, because, like, really,

411
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we were talking about,

412
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 2: like I do a big thing on my YouTube channel

413
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: every year, grading the trade deadline acquisitions, grading every teams,

414
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: and I think the Mets gotta be I don't think

415
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: it was the best deadline that they could have possibly had,

416
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: but to think that this Mets team isn't better off

417
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: than they were before the deadline is just straight up

418
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: it's dumb.

419
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: Literally, we talked about a lot of year that the

420
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: bench was probably one of the weakest spots in this team.

421
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,119
Speaker 3: The bench got dramatically better, way.

422
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: Better, bench, way better. Basically, this reminds me a lot

423
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: of the twenty fifteen trade deadline, except you don't get

424
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: you want assessment as who's the big bat, but like

425
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: improving the bench, we always talk about Wanya Rebay Kelly Johnson,

426
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: like those guys they Mets might have found there kind

427
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: of Wanya Rebey Johnson type players, and.

428
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: The Mets starting lineup right now has basically like five

429
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: five players. We are gonna wind up being like five

430
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: win players or maybe at least four and players and

431
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: seasons all said and done, so it's kind of easy

432
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: to say that this team. While it's always great to

433
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: get those as many as amazing players as you possibly

434
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: can at any given moment, just having those guys already

435
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 3: in place, being like Lindor Nemo, a Pete, a McNeil,

436
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 3: and a Starling as like, all guys who are gonna

437
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: be worth about four wins above replacement this year, like

438
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: then you just need to supplement them in Phill the

439
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 3: cracks in the Mets did fill the cracks.

440
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: In definitely, definitely, And of course we got the biggest

441
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: trade deadline acquisition of them all, James, you know who

442
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: that's gonna be.

443
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, Jacob the Grum.

444
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. It's tell me another team that picked

445
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: up a better picture at the deadline than the Mets

446
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: with Jacob the Grum. You can't name one, can't name one.

447
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: Of course. If you're watching the YouTube video with this,

448
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm squirming because I know, I know, I just wound.

449
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: Like that's Won wolfpon Talk.

450
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wound one hundred people up there, but I

451
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: just it was it was low hanging fruit. I had

452
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: to take it.

453
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: That's funny. That wasn't enough by the trade deadline. If

454
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: you guys have any other questions about it, don't hesitate

455
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 3: to tweet at us or as you could say, you're

456
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 3: mad in our comments. Just as long as you give

457
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 3: a five star rating interview, you can literally say anything

458
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: in those comments. I truthfully don't care, but again, tweet

459
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 3: those t questions. I have less followers than Mark, so

460
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 3: I'm usually much better at answering.

461
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: But I mean, really, I'm bad at answering. You spend

462
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: the only time, the only time you get me is

463
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: when like I kind of forget and I look at

464
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: my replies, I'm like, oh, you hit it, you hit

465
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 2: a nerve, You struck a nerve with me, You got me.

466
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: I'm completely in. But luckily, I mean getting a little

467
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: bit better at that for my own sake.

468
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: Let's move on to the games.

469
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Let's talk about game one, because along

470
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: with Max Scherzer being on the mound in the first

471
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: game of the series, we now also know that this

472
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: was the last game that Juan Soto played as a

473
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: Washington National, which is also funny because Juan Soto got

474
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: four played appearances in this game, which is exactly what

475
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: James predicted in the last estimate. So I literally didn't

476
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: even have a chance to win this one because James

477
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: didn't give you a second to bring literally hit it

478
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: right on the head. And of course he gets traded

479
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: the next day, and it's like, why was he even playing?

480
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 2: What if he utter hurt? What do you do?

481
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: So if he played in that game, I still wild

482
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 3: have won because you went.

483
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: Under I know, but I'm saying, like, if you're gonna

484
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: trade him the next day, you don't play, don't risk that.

485
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Washington? Think I'm gonna be ware

486
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: of Tuxtedo in April.

487
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 3: It was also really nice that this was one so

488
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: those last games the National and we saw like one

489
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 3: of the better games he's I think ever played against

490
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 3: the Mets. Wan So though had four played appearances like

491
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: Mark Sette, like I very correctly predicted up five zero

492
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 3: in the estimate, he hit a home run, he had

493
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 3: three walks and when out field, assis at home plate

494
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 3: and like an absolute dime to get a tough, chugging

495
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: Tolmas Nito around third.

496
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 2: And you know what, give it clap it up for one.

497
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: So congratulations, good game. Your team still lost because we

498
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: had mad Max on the mound. The boys were swinging

499
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: the bat. Sures wasn't necessarily out of sharpest, but he's

500
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: still that's just how good he is. He doesn't even

501
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: need to be that sharp.

502
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. He wounds up at the end of it with

503
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 3: six after coming out in the seventh innings, six and

504
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: two thirds innings, two earned runs, three runs after weird

505
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: play in the first I gave one up, five strike ats,

506
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: two walks. Weirdly threw a lot of change ups. Most

507
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 3: often he threw change ups since May eighth. Second most

508
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: often he threw him in any start this year, and

509
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 3: only got one with and zero called strikes and like

510
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: no ground balls. I figured, maybe he's using the change up,

511
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 3: but it was the way they kind of got some ground walls,

512
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: but it wasn't also threw a lot of colors, so like,

513
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: I kind of see that in the second lowest slider

514
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: percentage of the year and see that the maybe he

515
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: was just like, I'm gonna pitch the contact today, get

516
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: get the boys some innings here, which is just cool.

517
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: I don't know it's still effective. I trust anything that

518
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: Max Scherzer does. Also, I don't know if.

519
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: You could, who would be who would we be to

520
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: tell Max suers or how to bitch shit?

521
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: Wouldn't even when I even think about I'm just seeing

522
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 3: what he's doing. I'm telling you guys, yes, like I

523
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: don't analyze Max, Sure, I just like convey maxures the

524
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: Max is.

525
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: The last thing I would ever want to do is

526
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: get on Max Suers are just bad side and tell

527
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: him that I know more than you Max. That guy

528
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: is one of the greatest pictures we've seen in our lifetime.

529
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 2: And uh, he could he could tell me to go

530
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: jump off a bridge and say.

531
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: How high the bridge? The bridge it's the third bridge

532
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 3: joke already right to kill the bridge jokes. This was

533
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 3: There was one moment though, in this game. I remember

534
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: it was between the fifth and the sixth and the

535
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 3: sixth and the seventh where sure As there was talking

536
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 3: to hef and they were like getting animated. Not that

537
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: he was getting like mad, but there was definitely like

538
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: there was like there was an exchange of opinions and

539
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: was interesting to see these guys both like speak to

540
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: each other. In a way that was like, all right,

541
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 3: this is these are two These are two minds. The

542
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: two ball players like talking, and.

543
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: You gotta we're that Max Suzer talks to himself like that,

544
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: So would you would you talk if would you talk

545
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: to yourself like you talk to him? Of course he would.

546
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: It's like people with aggressive dogs like No, it just

547
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 3: means he loves you.

548
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that just really likes you. That's why

549
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: he's on top of you. Yeah, it's it's endearment. That's

550
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 2: what he's doing.

551
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Max. Also, now after this start is just three

552
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: wins shy of two hundred, and he's gonna make two

553
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: starts on the upcoming home stand. So everyone get out

554
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: to see Max Shurzier if you got a chance, because

555
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 3: he's a.

556
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: Freak, especially on that Friday night one against the Braves,

557
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: which is gonna be the blackout, first official blackout. That's

558
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: gonna be fast.

559
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: We're talking about shows their starts right now. Ye yeah,

561
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: Oh, he's pitching Saturday. I thought they were lining him

562
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: up to pitch Friday for the for the shirt.

563
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: It's four days. You gotta pitch on four days wrestling.

564
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know, yeah, I know.

565
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: That Saturdayay and then so that could I mean just

566
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: you could put him in line to see some pitchers

567
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 3: two hundred victory at some point this summer. So keep

568
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: an eye on that.

569
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: Nice. Yeah, Sures has been great, and I mean really

570
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: at the end of the day after the Mets got

571
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: down in the beginning rally right back, which is doing

572
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: so nice.

573
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely McNeil Neilo Marte a couple of hits. He hit

574
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 3: a ridiculously low lying home run tied lowest launch angle

575
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: and any home run for Pete's career at seventeen degrees

576
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 3: and one of only fourteen home runs his entire season

577
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 3: not inside the park home runs in Major League Baseball

578
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: to be hit with a seventeen degree launch angler lower.

579
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: Dude absolutely loves hitting in NAT's Park. And I know

580
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 2: you've told you've told us before it's a sneaky good

581
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: hitters park, but it feels like Pete Alonzo turns it

582
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 2: on there and always plays well.

583
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 3: Definitely, But the biggest home run in the night, the

584
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: call of the night, actually have to give to Francisco Lindor,

585
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: who got payback on Steve seeshek for hitting him in

586
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: the face back in April.

587
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: Right after he hits Starling Marte too.

588
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 3: Bench is clear at this moment. This was a very

589
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: chippy early season series between the Mets and Nationals for

590
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 3: some reason, and Gary Cohens as the ball left the

591
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: yard Pocisco Lindor rounded for his base, he screamed exclaimed,

592
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 3: take that, which was just I can't even believe he's

593
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: let that out.

594
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: There's very few times that Gary shows that kind of emotion.

595
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: That was a personal take that. That was like take that,

596
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 2: Steve Seasheck, would you so funny? Because I don't even

597
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: think he meant to Hitlan Francisco indoor on purpose? But

598
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: I love it. I love that Gary was feeling the

599
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: energy with the boys, and it's nice to see Francisco

600
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: and go Lindor get paidback. And like I said, especially

601
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: right after Marte got hit in that same inning and

602
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: Buck Buck got to the top of the stairs, he

603
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: got out talked to Starling because Starling was like kind

604
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: of figuring and out seeing how he was feeling, and

605
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: you could see Buck murmuring like this expletive, explative expletive,

606
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get him I'm gonna get him.

607
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 3: The Met's also go hit well like four or five

608
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: four times in this series. Three times. Yeah, the Nationals

609
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: our teams is just a little bit of a you know, he's.

610
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: A little bit of he stirs the pot a little bit.

611
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: I think he's trying to get any sort of excitement

612
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: out of that Nationals team, knowing that their best player

613
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: in franchise history was deb Man Walkin.

614
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: He's an habitual line stepper. Yeah, oh for sure, that

615
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: big line step. And also shout out Brandon Nemo. He

616
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: had four hits in this game, three hard hit balls.

617
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 3: He's been great. And also Johnny Statts giving us a

618
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 3: stat as we end this game. One review here, Pete

619
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 3: over an eleven hundred carewer ops in Nationals Park.

620
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: That's man, that's that's so good that if he was

621
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: on the Nationals, they would trade him or at least

622
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: let him walk.

623
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: Off after two or three years. They'd love to trade him.

624
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: They were for a medium return.

625
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, for a chunk of prospects that could that would

626
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: probably never be as good as the guy he just

627
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: traded away.

628
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if we'll do we'll do it. Like in

629
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 3: a moment here, Yeah, CJ. Abrams is the early prospect,

630
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: but his powers in question after his first stint in

631
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: the major leagues. He doesn't strike guy very much. But

632
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: also this allergic to walks kind of some which Louis

633
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: card see who kind of hit us a little bit.

634
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: This series, Mackenzie Gore is good, Like I'm sure he'll

635
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: just be a really good picture. He has a chance

636
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: to be really good.

637
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: Although I would keep him as far away from Patrick

638
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: Corbin as possible.

639
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: Don't let them talk. Maybe talk about maybe teach him

640
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: like the Slyer or something, or.

641
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: Maybe be like, don't do what he's doing right now.

642
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: Patrick Corbin was good. I'm not gonna take away Patrick

643
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 3: Corban's career for him. It's just right now, he's very bad.

644
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: Sack corpor was good for like two years. He was

645
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: like the most overrated pitcher that year he got signed.

646
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 2: It was I couldn't believe the amount of money that

647
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: was thrown at him at that time. I got it

648
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: on tape.

649
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: Patrick Corman was the most one of the most unheralded

650
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 3: World Series heroes in the history of the game.

651
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: He did do that.

652
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: He did pitching in relief in those two games. He

653
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 3: was fantastic in that role for the national team to

654
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: that bad ballpens still won a World Series. And also

655
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: James Wood and Robert hass are both freak prospects. My guys,

656
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: Mark loves Robert Hassel. He's an amazing hit tool, very athletic.

657
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: I almost enough stay in center. Yeah, But also James

658
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 3: Wood is like a lunatic.

659
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: So I found out because James Wood was someone that

660
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: I've followed for a really long time because there was

661
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 2: a viral clip of him on Twitter. Big dude. He's

662
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: six foot seven and he was playing in like a

663
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: high school tournament with a wood bat and hit one

664
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: of the biggest home runs I've ever seen a child.

665
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: He was a child at this time, and he pimped

666
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: it and he's got a vicious swing and he's so tall,

667
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: and seeing someone do that, I was like, who is

668
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: this guy? Found out information about him. I saw him

669
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 2: in the draft. I was like, he should be a

670
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: first round pick, Like, there's there's no reason this guy

671
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: shouldn't be taken the first round. He's got first round talent.

672
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 2: He fell to the Padres later and I was like,

673
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: what an incredible pick. He's going to be used in

674
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: some trade. Somewhere someday, and what do you know, they

675
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: get Juan Soto. Who else? They trade Harlan Susana, who

676
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: I think is like the top international pitching prospect.

677
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 3: Eighteen year old of a live arm.

678
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: YEP and then oh, they got Luke Void too, didn't they?

679
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: I forgot about Luke Voyd Ye, yeah, which we missed him.

680
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank god. Although Joey Maness or that kind of

681
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: same they get us in Game two.

682
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: Also look good for Joe. He's ten years in the

683
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: minor league, so it was nice see him getting into

684
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 3: the big I didn't like to see him hit the Mets,

685
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: but I did like to see that he achieved a dream.

686
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: Do you think that the Nationals got enough? And this

687
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: isn't a Nationals podcast, but obviously the Mets were interested

688
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: in Jan Soto, but it seems like the Nationals were

689
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: never gonna trade him to us because.

690
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 3: It also seems like the Mets didn't have enough for

691
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: this kind of offer.

692
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 2: And it's funny because I don't even think that this

693
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: is enough for Wan Soto personally.

694
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 3: Theoretically, it's not enough, but if it's as much as

695
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: you're going to get, it's not that bad. The fact,

696
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: they got like one pitcher who could be a front

697
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: line star there at least be a three to four

698
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: forever that's really good, and he'll be good. Abrams has

699
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 3: potential and like his floor is just like kind of

700
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 3: like a lot of medres Ario is doing now. I

701
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 3: feel like in Cleveland, which is someone will play fine

702
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 3: defensive shortstop. Aprirams might end up playing plus defensive shortstop.

703
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: He's just still baseball young. He's just such a freak

704
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 3: athletes don't really know how to play baseball. I'd also

705
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: play center field.

706
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

707
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 3: Also, he just a freak athlete. We'll see if the

708
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 3: power comes then, like Wooden Hassle, it's like one might

709
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: hit and they both have like incredibly high potentials to play.

710
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: Like the return isn't bad. It's just like you traded

711
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 3: Wan so though, But if he's not gonna take your money,

712
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 3: you have no choice. So what are you gonna do?

713
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I would give him more money, give

714
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: them more.

715
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 3: I mean, if that was up to them. They didn't

716
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: give them one.

717
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: I mean listen, I mean even to him, going to

718
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: the Padres doesn't doesn't count with the Mets in two

719
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: or three years, when he hits free agency, because I

720
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: don't think the Padres can actually pay him, like maybe

721
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: they could, but if you do, you have a billion

722
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 2: dollars tied up to him, Manny Machado and Fernandez Aatis,

723
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: which those are three really really good players, and I

724
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: don't think they aren't worth it. I just don't know

725
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: if a owner can really afford to fork out a

726
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: billion dollars to three guys.

727
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also I mean they should. Those are three

728
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: great guys. Just just briefly before we move on from this,

729
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: just to twelve Mets fans fear. It's just to compare

730
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: all of those trade tips with the Metsica have offered.

731
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 3: I say, Abrams, you might disagree with this, but he

732
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: still probably covers Alvarez in value just because you play shortstop.

733
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: Probably just it's like it's probably very close. It's probably thin.

734
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: But I'm sure a team would probably just traded for

735
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: a catcher last year if if they're looking at it,

736
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 3: if like a micros would be like, I'd rather get

737
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: the short stop with the league defense, who might have

738
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: a high potential bat than the catcher who we don't

739
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 3: know if he could ever play defense there, And we

740
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: really have a Catcher we like for the future. And

741
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 3: then you look at Mackenzie Gore. The Mets would have

742
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: offered Peterson or Miguil Gore significantly better than each of them.

743
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: Then you wise, Yeah, you look at Wooden Hassle, and

744
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 3: that would have been and Baby or Baby and Mauricio

745
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: or Ramirez, and I think those two guys pretty easily

746
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 3: cover those guys the metsica have offered. I agree, So

747
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: they just they just have more. Other teams have more.

748
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: That's that's kind of how it goes.

749
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is what it is. Glad that wanst was

750
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: out of the division though we only have to play

751
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: wins the Poudres. But boy, oh boy, do I want

752
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: to avoid the Potteris at all costs.

753
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: And we'll talk about that before it's Braves series. We

754
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: got to talk about the second game of this series

755
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: because the boys went to DC for this one. Shout

756
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: out of Amtrak. Shout out Jolly Olive bringing us on

757
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: a wonderful trip down to DC. Will also shout out

758
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: the booker of this trip because they accidentally got me

759
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: a first class ticket. Yeah what the everyone else was

760
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: in business class, so I was sitting in first class.

761
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: Bigger seat, more comfortable, seat, free food, free beverages. I

762
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: was crushing high noons, doing like my regular workday. Like

763
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: on the train, I was having a blast.

764
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: Capitalist James over here he gets a job. He's riding

765
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: at Margarista to sell a train. This guy rode across

766
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: the country during COVID in the back of a truck,

767
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: in a car basically and just camped out in the wilderness.

768
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: And now he's riding first class of a high speed

769
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: train to Washington, DC from New York.

770
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 3: It's the duality of man. I could still do both,

771
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: that'd be about it. But it was a great trip.

772
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: We were very nervous at first that we're going to

773
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: miss the first pitch of this game.

774
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: He's sweating. Okay, wait, we cut it pretty close. How

775
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: about how about the fact that both of us cut

776
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: it close just getting there on time, because it was

777
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: the train was leaving at three o'clock, and those things

778
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: pretty much leave on time, like once they get there,

779
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: they kind of take off. So we were like, oh

780
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: my god, I was taking an uber. I was taking

781
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: a train. I was like a subway. I was flying

782
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: all over the place. I sprinted half a mile. I

783
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: haven't done that in I don't know, fifteen years. Probably,

784
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: I don't know the last time I've sprinted half a

785
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: mile with a backpack on through New York City train

786
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: affic just to find out.

787
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: Wait, Mark, you brought it. You brought a backpack to DC.

788
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

789
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: What'd you bring in the backpack?

790
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: My computer, my camera, my microphone, A lot of things.

791
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: But I did forget one really important thing to pack.

792
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: Mark took an overnight trip and didn't bring any clothes.

793
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: Completely forgot to pack one piece of clothing. It was like,

794
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: I don't like I was in such I was worried

795
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: about missing it, and I just I knew I forgot

796
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: something when I left my apartment. It just turned out

797
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: to be the thing that of something like really important,

798
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: which is a change of clothes. I wore a Maxtuer

799
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: or a non max Ers or peat, a Lonzo Black

800
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: Mets jersey for about twenty four hours straight.

801
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 3: It's literally discussing.

802
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: But anyway, we sprinted there and it was late, so

803
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: it was all for nothing.

804
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: Still shadow the amtrack for the hookup. We also had

805
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: great seats down the Terror Club in Washington. We had

806
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 3: food and drinks halibit. The Nationals were serving halibit the

807
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 3: Nationals when within Peyuan Sodo and they were serving halibit

808
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 3: to the fans.

809
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: That's where all that Juan Soto money just went through, Like, well,

810
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: we just traded a guy that we were going to

811
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: get halibate billion dollars.

812
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 3: Two.

813
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: We had chateaubriand too, which I think is fancy meat.

814
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 2: Like between that the porclin the hal a bit, they

815
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: had some good I think duck. They had duck. They

816
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: did have duck duck out around ry like it was

817
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: a very very good spread for National's Park. I'm I

818
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 2: don't like but this behind home plate worth it one

819
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: hundred and free beer. That was good.

820
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we're just we're just beating around the bush

821
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 3: here because the whole story of this night was Jacob

822
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: Degram's return to the mound. It was literally like it

823
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: was a surreal moment.

824
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: Well it was. It was really cool because where we

825
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: were sitting, we were literally right behind the Mets on

826
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: deck circle, so right next to the dugout and you

827
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: see him walk out and run out and it's all

828
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: Mets fans in this section. It was dominated by Mets

829
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 2: fans over here, and all Mets fans are on their feet,

830
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: and like when he threw his first warm up pitch,

831
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: there was a cheer. I don't know if anyone's ever

832
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: cheered a warm up pitch before.

833
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just it was I don't I don't know. Yeah,

834
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: I've said this every single time talking about the Grom

835
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: on the show. I just I had to see it

836
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: to believe it, and like seeing it, I was like, oh,

837
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 3: it's really happening. It felt like it felt last year

838
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: for a little while.

839
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 2: It did. It was really cool to see him pump

840
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: in one oh two. I think he threw a ninety

841
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: five mile an hour slider like he was like you said,

842
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: you have to see it to believe it, And it

843
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: was a really cool moment because it has been so

844
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: long since we've seen Jacob d Grom pitch in a

845
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: major League baseball game. So to be there just by

846
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: sheer coincidence, the date that we picked ends up being

847
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: Jacob de Grom's first start of the year really really cool.

848
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: Wish the outcome would have been better, not necessarily for Jake.

849
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: Jake did great, but I wish the Mets would have

850
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: played better ja Jake.

851
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 3: Jake did do great. It was the he averaged ninety

852
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: nine point seven miles an hour in his fastball over

853
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: the five innings he threw on Tuesday. Only Hunter Green

854
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 3: has had a higher average lasce in to start this year,

855
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: which I mean, we talked about Huntering Green the show.

856
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: He's a freaking nature and it was very easy for

857
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: de Gram early, four strikeouts in the first two innings,

858
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: only two balls and play balls in the ground. One

859
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: did get down the line, but Starling Marte had a

860
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: great outfield to stick throw his seventh of the year.

861
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: To do that, he threw and he just like leaned

862
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: against the fence because he knew it immediate and just

863
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: like he was cool about it. Then after that though

864
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 3: de Gram did, I'm not gonna it just it was

865
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: more mortal than it was. Early he had nine whips

866
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: on his first nineteen swings in the first two winnings,

867
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 3: then only four on twenty one swings, and the next

868
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: three the ball was being put in play. He did

869
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 3: give up a run. He lost like two ticks, so

870
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: he went down from like one hundred and one to

871
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 3: ninety eight ninety nine. Slider lost a few miles an

872
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: hour or two, but you can't help it. Be like ridiculously,

873
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: ridiculously excited about this.

874
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 2: I think it was interesting too. Later in the game,

875
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: we saw him use the change up in curveball a

876
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: lot more than we've seen him use it in the past,

877
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: where he's basically been a two pitch pitcher for the

878
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: last few years.

879
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he threw each of those a few times

880
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: second time around the order, especially threw in the Nelson

881
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: cruise a change up. I didn't even notice the curveballs

882
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 3: when we were there, just because I think we were

883
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: just having so much fun, just like freaking out a

884
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 3: little bit.

885
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were having a good time.

886
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I saw the curveballs on the spot and

887
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 3: I was like, huh, weird. And I looked back to

888
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: the curveballs like in the search function, they were kind

889
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: of curvious. They were kind of slurviish, but curviish, so

890
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: I guess they're at slower in the slider. So I

891
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: guess it was La Grcia to get a hold of

892
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 3: one who he's got a good little bad just refused

893
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 3: to take a walk, got the national's up one. Nothing

894
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 3: but this. I almost didn't even care so much about

895
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 3: the results past the fact that the stuff was good

896
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 3: and he looked good, he looked.

897
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: Strong, he looked healthy. It was an encouraging sign moving

898
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: forward in this Met season. For what is the biggest

899
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: trade deadline or acquisition of any team in Major League Baseball,

900
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: Mets picking up Jacob de Grom. I think so is objectively,

901
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I forgot about Wan so well.

902
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 3: I think I'll give it to him.

903
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not on our team, so I'm biased.

904
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 2: I'm picking Jacob de Grom. I also like, before you

905
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: say one more thing, I want to shout out the

906
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: Mets fans that we met at the game as well.

907
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 2: After Jacob de gram went out, I was like, hey,

908
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 2: come meet us at this section at the end of

909
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: the fifth inning, met a bunch of Mets fans, a

910
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 2: bunch of listeners. Shout out to you guys, appreciate you

911
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 2: had a great time in Washington. Thank you very.

912
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 3: Sorry we forgot the stickers. We both in our haste

913
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 3: forgot stickers. I felt kind of bad about that.

914
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: Big fum fumbled the back I forgot closed. I mean,

915
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: you think I'm gonna bring stickers.

916
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 3: The worst part of it is I found stickers in

917
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: the compartment of my backpack. I didn't even realize what

918
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 3: they're like, I got home today.

919
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: It's a brand, it's a.

920
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 3: New backpack, only got a week ago. And I found him.

921
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, Dad, curse again. One curson An episode,

922
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 3: one cris A episode is not that bad. But the

923
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 3: most comforting thing about this Jacob to Grom start was

924
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 3: definitely the fact that the Mets offense was in peak

925
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: to Gram form Gary or Howie. I forgot who was

926
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 3: listening to the game and who said this seemed to

927
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: catch to Gram say something to Taiwan Walker on Sunday

928
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 3: along the lines of, oh, they never scored nine runs

929
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 3: for me, which is funny that he has a sense

930
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: of humor about it. Also, from like reading a lot

931
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: of the articles I went out about the Graham this week,

932
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 3: seeing that he's like a funny He's like a dry humor,

933
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: ordinary funny guy in the clubhouse. So comment like, that's

934
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 3: even funnier to a guy like Taiwan Walker. But of

935
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 3: course the Mets couldn't do anything. It's Corey Abbott.

936
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 2: And it was funny too because they had a really

937
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 2: good first thing. They made him work a lot, and

938
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 2: they had guys on the basis Yeah, And it was like,

939
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 2: especially with the Gram and there were a ton of

940
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: Mets fans in DC. I won't say they outnumbered Nationals fans,

941
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: but there was at least like thirty percent of the

942
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: think of the people, there were at least Mets fans.

943
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 2: I was shocked how many people were there, especially after

944
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 2: trading the best player in your franchise's history. I was, okay,

945
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: let's ask you this, James. How many people in the

946
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 2: stadium do you think didn't know Wan Sota was traded?

947
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 2: They just thought he was out for the day. Yeah,

948
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 2: I was thinking around thirty.

949
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 3: Well, well, I think that's probably the same amount of

950
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: people who don't even know anybody in the team. It's

951
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: just like, it's a good point play. Who was just like,

952
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: after work, let's go to the ballpark. It's twelve six

953
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 3: dollars to get in.

954
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of DC transplants, we and just the Washington

955
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: Nationals fans not to really, you know, take shots of

956
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: them too much, but it is fun because of course

957
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 2: they leave the games early because the trains don't run late.

958
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: But we heard their chant after they scored a run,

959
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: which I had never heard in my life before, and

960
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: it was jarring. James, you're a Jets fan, maybe you

961
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: can help me out with this one here and tell them, yeah,

962
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 2: every time the Nats score a run for some reason,

963
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: they go and at s nat whoo. Kind of combining

964
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: j et s and what the seven line does for

965
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: the Mets. It's really really strange. It was like I

966
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 2: was taking aback. I was like, first off, you guys

967
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: are chanting. You know what just happened today, right? They

968
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: straight away Josh Bell too. We didn't even mention that

969
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: they got rid of him as well, Like.

970
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 3: Oddly not as eerie of a ballpark environment as I

971
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 3: could imagine after one of the best young players in

972
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 3: the history of the game got traded, I felt. And

973
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 3: also that's I guess that's just because they probably aren't

974
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: many real Nationals fans in the world, because like relatively

975
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 3: a new team and it's relatively a city of a

976
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: lot of people who moved from other places. Come Like,

977
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: we were sitting next to these kids who were both

978
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: wearing Nationals things, both seem to like baseball very much.

979
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, do you guys feel about So the

980
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 3: kid leansent to me goes, I'm I'm from a Milwaukeemma

981
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 3: Brewers fans.

982
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: Well, and We met the people up top two that

983
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,959
Speaker 2: were Yankees fans. We met a couple of Yankees fans.

984
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: We met a couple of Phillies guys, one of them

985
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: who was teammates with second round pick by the Mets,

986
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 2: Nick Morribido, which is kind of cool. He was he

987
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: had great things to say about that kid, which was awesome.

988
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was. It was a weird feeling. You

989
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 2: want to know where the real Nats fans were. They

990
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: were at home because they were like, I'm not watching.

991
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going to this game today.

992
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: Is that being said? It would have been one of

993
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: the good games for them to go to because obviously

994
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: the Mets end up losing this game. Like after you

995
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: faced Jacob deGrom and then go to Stephen Deagosak and

996
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: Ywan Lopez. No disrespect to them, but it's like playing

997
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: MLB the show on Legendary on legend and then just

998
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: all of a sudden putting it to rookie, Like it's

999
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 2: just not the same.

1000
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd love to see a satistical analysis of like

1001
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: the relievers immediately after Jacob de Grom for the course

1002
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 3: of his career, how they fare, because the Nationals looked

1003
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 3: like they were just taking batting practic cause they hit like,

1004
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: what three or four home runs after they scored that

1005
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: first run for Ciscal, Lindor tied this game with a

1006
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 3: home run in I believe it was the top of

1007
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 3: the sixth. I think, whatever, And so I was like,

1008
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 3: are we're feeling good, Let's get this win now, all right?

1009
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: Vibes are great, and then the Nationals just teed off

1010
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 3: and it's just like, ah, crap, like if all the

1011
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: all the Monday morning quarterbacks a freaking at about the

1012
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 3: Mets lack of bullpen help, and then we had a

1013
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: couple of rallies late, just couldn't really get that big hit.

1014
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 3: Luis Kim got picked off second base in a really

1015
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 3: weird play when the dolls hit like basically right over

1016
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: his head and he just took a secondary lead and

1017
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: he couldn't really get back to the bag. But yeah,

1018
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 3: it was weird. It was just bizarre. This game broke

1019
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: a seven game win streak and Mets fans were acting

1020
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: like we had lost like fourteen in a row.

1021
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: Well, this team stinks, don't you know that, James, did

1022
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 2: you see their trade deadline? They didn't. They got worse,

1023
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 2: don't you know? Don't you understand they traded J. D.

1024
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 2: Davis for Darren Roff? Do you have a clue?

1025
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 3: We lost Colin Alderman.

1026
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: Come on, man, I can't believe that the Mets did this.

1027
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: Can you believe that their trade deadline was only slightly good?

1028
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: Ough?

1029
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 2: Awful?

1030
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 3: This loss, though we are making jokes, it was relatively

1031
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: speaking to the single season, historically bad because the Mets

1032
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: were the biggest favorites all year in a regular season

1033
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: baseball games. They did find a way to lose it.

1034
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 2: That's a curse, though. That's that's the biggest jinks I've

1035
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: ever heard.

1036
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also I'm sure a lot of the people

1037
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 3: out there were pretty jacked up with this de Grom

1038
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: start and probably made some bets. You didn't want to

1039
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 3: bet in the Mets winning because the odds were really bad.

1040
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 3: You have to lay down, you know, three dollars to

1041
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 3: make ones. You might as well bet on Jacob de

1042
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: Grom's over in strikeouts. Of course, Jacob de Grom is

1043
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: gonna get more than six strikeouts. There's no way he

1044
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 3: doesn't do that. He had he had six strikeouts and

1045
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: fifty eight pitches to five innings, of course, and then

1046
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: he doesn't come back out for the sixth inning and

1047
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 3: all the Mets fans lose that by half a strikeout.

1048
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was a tough day to be

1049
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: a Mets fan in terms of the wagers, I would

1050
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 2: assume just because they probably didn't fall your way. And really,

1051
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, Mets just lost this

1052
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: game like it stinks to lose because the Nationals are bad.

1053
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: They're a bad baseball team, especially without Wan So to

1054
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 2: win Josh Bell.

1055
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: Almost as bad as it gets. This entire game, the

1056
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 3: Mets faced maybe four major leaguers combines between the pitchers

1057
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 3: and the hitters.

1058
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 2: Like Luis Garcia, good ball player. I'm in on this

1059
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: guy swing. He's got a good swing. We saw him

1060
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: hit all series. I didn't know about him, really, no,

1061
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: I have.

1062
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 3: Victor Robos also seems to have been sparked now that

1063
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to deal with the guy who stole

1064
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 3: off his talent one so though anymore, he was hitting

1065
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 3: leadoff and actually hit hitting the ball, getting on base,

1066
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 3: playing great center field. Sees our Hernandez consummate pro. I'll

1067
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 3: say it before I'll say it again. Nelson Cruiz is

1068
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 3: still fine. He's not really good anymore. But he's still respectable. Yeah,

1069
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 3: Kyle Finnigan's a fine reliever.

1070
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: It is what it is.

1071
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: You lose games.

1072
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: It's a one hundred and sixteen game seasons.

1073
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 3: The Game two curse. What we do does we do

1074
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 3: all year?

1075
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 2: And we kind of forgot about the Game two curse

1076
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: because we got we got back to back sweeps against

1077
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Marlins, and we won game one

1078
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: in this series, so you forget that Game two. Star break, Yeah,

1079
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 2: all Star break. Game two has been a little bit

1080
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: bit of a problem this year. It is what it is.

1081
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: Mets still end up winning this series though, because of course,

1082
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: we go into Game three and it was just it

1083
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: was really nice and easy. This is this is what

1084
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 2: everyone was. Just if the Mets lost Game three like

1085
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: they lost Game two, no one cares. No one cares.

1086
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: But because of on top of the trade deadline, and

1087
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: on top of seeing the Phillies make a trade, and

1088
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 2: on top of riise La Glacey is sneaking into the Braves,

1089
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: plus Jacob de Grom start, plus not hitting for him,

1090
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: so it's the old Mets. It was the perfect storm.

1091
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: But if they lost Game three, no one cares.

1092
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 3: I also just want to put my hand up that

1093
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 3: Rice Hell Glacier's trade is a little bit on me.

1094
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 3: Mets A.

1095
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: You're gonna put this out there?

1096
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean I put on Instagram story already.

1097
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 3: I might as well just say we talk about my

1098
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: prolific jinxing powers on this show. Mark makes fun of

1099
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 3: me all the time, and I've been our private lives

1100
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 3: for it. And right after the trade deadline ended, it

1101
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 3: was like six oh eight, we were still on the

1102
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 3: train was pulling into d C. I was, I was,

1103
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: I was a couple of high noons and in a

1104
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 3: free uh first class Margherita deep and I was like, oh,

1105
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 3: like this really isn't that bad? Like Dodgers did nothing.

1106
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 3: The Praves basically did nothing. Like they replaced Adam Duval

1107
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: Robbie Grossman and pulled Jacob the Reasy like we're gonna

1108
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 3: get scared about that. And then within not given not

1109
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 3: even thirty seconds later, we get the update the Bridge

1110
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 3: just acquired brats Cell Glacias, a really good reliever to

1111
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 3: add to the really very good bullpen. I was like,

1112
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: all right, what that was my fault?

1113
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: They handed up? That's on that's on James.

1114
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: But next I'll play by the next time, But what

1115
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 3: are you gonna do?

1116
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? Game three? That's that's were good.

1117
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: They were good. Dn't trail for a second.

1118
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 3: Didn't trail for a second. Pete, who has almost a

1119
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 3: thirteen hundred ohps since the All Star Breaks, blazing hot guys,

1120
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 3: pretty good average up twenty five points like since the Altar.

1121
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: Break, basically has nine hundred.

1122
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. He a strange home run of Honabal Sanchez. I

1123
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 3: think it was one on the Patton did Donabal Sanchez

1124
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 3: change up where he just like went down and got it,

1125
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 3: just like touched it with his barrel, no follow through

1126
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 3: one hand, and just soored out to the secard field.

1127
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 2: I mean sneaky good ballpark.

1128
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 3: Todd home runs in like I've been saying it, and

1129
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 3: also got shout that Francisco Lidoor because the at bat

1130
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 3: before this Pete home run he grinds it out of

1131
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: a nine pitch walk. Very very good at bad. He's

1132
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 3: also just ridiculously locked in right now as this offense

1133
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 3: goes for the obvious watching them all year like it's

1134
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 3: one of these guys at the top are hot and

1135
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: for two weeks while Lindor and Pete have been hitting

1136
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 3: the snot out of the ball.

1137
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: Like I thought, we're gonna score a lot of runs

1138
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 2: that ten game. His storayk for Francisco Indoor as well

1139
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 2: second ten game history of the year. Well he's bad though,

1140
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: he's terrible. He's awful. Wow, who would pay him that money?

1141
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 2: A Francisco Lindor Love that dude, He's so good. And

1142
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: then we got to talk about the big fellow who

1143
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: We've come up with a new nickname for Daniel vogel Back,

1144
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: be Beef. We're calling him Beef because we saw him

1145
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 2: at the game yesterday and we're like, so I heard

1146
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: someone yell roast beef, and I was like, I think

1147
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: you just cut it down to Beef, because like the dude,

1148
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 2: he's a beefy boy. And the Grand Slam was so

1149
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 2: awesome today, Like that was the first home run for

1150
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 2: Daniel Vogelback.

1151
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 3: As a Met, and it felt great, felt literally incredible.

1152
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 3: I just I can't even imagine how good this guy

1153
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 3: has been since he came to the Mets. It's been

1154
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 3: they Mets have one loss since they acquired him. First

1155
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 3: of all, he has a home run, two doubles, four

1156
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 3: Ribby's five hundred on base percentage over three hundred bating average.

1157
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: Small sample doesn't matter, but I'm gonna say it, like

1158
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 3: every time he comes to the plate, I'm like very excited.

1159
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 2: Really really really good at bats every single time. And

1160
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 2: you know what, he doesn't have to face left these

1161
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: either now because we have Darren Ruff who will come

1162
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 2: in and have power and take really really good at

1163
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 2: bats as well.

1164
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 3: We got some cool Grand Slam stats in here from John.

1165
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: This Grand Slam of vocal Back was a fourth Mets

1166
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 3: Grand Slam this season. All of them have come against

1167
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: the National League East, which I thought was pretty fun.

1168
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 3: It's funny the Mets have a very good record so

1169
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 3: far the season against National League's team thirty three and thirteen.

1170
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 3: Not gonna make a defensive statements, just saying what has

1171
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: already happened. Fact right, thirty three and thirteen this year

1172
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: I was National League heest only had thirty nine wins

1173
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: versus division all of last year. We're still playing divisional

1174
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 3: games left, so it's cool. And vo go Back is

1175
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 3: the eleventh player in Mets history whose first home run

1176
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 3: with the team was a grand Slot.

1177
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: We heard some great names on the broadcast today from Gary.

1178
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 2: I know John was gonna quiz us on them, so

1179
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 2: he was a little upset that Gary spoiled the fun.

1180
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 2: But you got some names like oh Meir Santos, Taylor

1181
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 2: t Garden, which those are two deep cuts for Mets

1182
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: fans if you're talking about just random catchers that ran

1183
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 2: through this organization at one point.

1184
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 3: Also have Jose Reyis was on that list? Who else

1185
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:38,840

1186
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 2: There was? There was a bunch of names. There was

1187
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 2: eleven guys, I mean, so Adrian Gonzalez was one of them.

1188
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: Thanks for helping us out.

1189
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: The recent one. And then this whole game was tied

1190
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: together with Chris Bassett having another just fantastic start. This

1191
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 3: guy's been the stay absolute like symbol of consistency so

1192
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 3: far with the Mets. Also, everyone, if you haven't listened

1193
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 3: to it yet, check out our bonus episode we put

1194
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: that last week again. Interview with Chris Bassett and Tommy

1195
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 3: Hunter also put out a Banker TikTok. Chris Bassett Mark

1196
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 3: mentioned the top of the show today talking about if

1197
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: the if he was all basketball player, if if he

1198
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 3: was the field of starting five from the Mets roster,

1199
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: who would he be and he had some pretty funny answers.

1200
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: Wait, we should answer that question.

1201
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 3: I feel like to ourselves, who we think the Mets

1202
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: starting five basketball?

1203
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? Who you're starting five of the Mets BA first basketball.

1204
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: I've never seen any of them play basketball. I mean

1205
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 3: probably Bassett McGill, Taiwan McNeil.

1206
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 2: Okay, I think a sneaky one in there. I think

1207
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 2: out of Ino might be a good player. He's just

1208
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: like casually.

1209
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 3: Probably is nice. Yeah, and he's a very long New.

1210
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: York kid, grew up in New York. You know, he

1211
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: shot some hoops in his lifetime.

1212
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: He'd probably he'd be like a great modern basketball players.

1213
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 3: He has such incredible length. I'm like, it's even better

1214
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 3: than his height. Just can really clog up a lane.

1215
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 2: Pete would be like Charles Barkley. I think I think

1216
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 2: he would just be a beast on the boards.

1217
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 3: Pete. Pete. Pete's the exact like Pete's the meme where

1218
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 3: it's like this is one of the football players come

1219
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 3: and play back. People just like puts that down like

1220
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 3: his elbows, like move everything around and like take a

1221
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 3: shot that would like clank off the top of the

1222
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: backboard in the back of the rim and go like

1223
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: forty feet high and he'll he'll.

1224
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: Run back hard and be like, yeah, I'll get the

1225
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 2: next one, get the next one. Yeah, McNeil sneaky good

1226
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: basketball players. Case you guys don't know, Trevor May probably

1227
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 2: would also be a good basketball player, another large human being.

1228
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 3: I would just I would like to see, you know.

1229
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: And now we were almost like we should see to

1230
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 3: get two starting fives, going, I want to watch the

1231
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: Mets play pick up?

1232
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if I want Yeah, well maybe never.

1233
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 3: Honestly, I would I would theoretically like to see a

1234
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 3: computer like reimagination of the Mets playing pick.

1235
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, put him in the NBA two K and let's

1236
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: see what they look like.

1237
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 3: Just make the Mets roster.

1238
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,919
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's sim the game. Chris Bassett told

1239
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 2: this Matchers Draymond Green, So we have a perfect replica

1240
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: of what we can do there for his.

1241
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 3: Stats exactly now, which we're gonna talk about Bassett the

1242
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 3: pitcher rather than the point guard. Seven innings nowhere and runs.

1243
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 3: Six hits that were very scattered. None of these hits

1244
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 3: seemed really dangerous in any type of way. Just want

1245
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 3: to walk for straight, got on two hard hit balls

1246
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 3: off basket by the Nationals this whole game. His breaking

1247
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 3: ball command was very much back Keith was talking about

1248
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 3: after Bassett lost it for a few stars a very

1249
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 3: nice see him find it again. Eleven called strikes plus

1250
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 3: whiffs on his slider and curveball in this one, after

1251
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 3: again he had going for a while, lost in for

1252
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 3: a few starts, founded again. Love to see Bassett tinkering

1253
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 3: and find success with that. And also this National triple

1254
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 3: A lineup just really could not even figure out Bassett's

1255
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 3: very very very precise sinker. Ten called strikes on it

1256
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 3: and so many just lazy balls and play very nice game.

1257
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: Does Chris Bassett throw a cutter?

1258
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 4: He?

1259
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 3: I believe so, because there was I thought I saw

1260
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 3: the ninety seventeen colors today, five whiffs on it.

1261
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 2: Okay, because I thought I saw a ninety two mile

1262
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: hour slider, But I just know that wouldn't make sense

1263
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 2: for how his slider runs.

1264
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 3: His slider and color actually were up a tick today

1265
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 3: or I guess yesterday. You guys listen to it's up

1266
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: a tick on Wednesday. From the yearly velocity that color

1267
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 3: on the year has averaged eighty nine. He got it

1268
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 3: up to ninety with one maxing out in ninety two four.

1269
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's he's such a fun pitcher. He's

1270
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 2: so good. He really is just so great in this rotation,

1271
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 2: especially now behind the gram insurerser yep, love it.

1272
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 3: And also I was talking about that sink. We've saw

1273
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 3: a cool stat on Twitter. I forgot who I saw it,

1274
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 3: so feel bad not shoying somebody out. But Bassett had

1275
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 3: the highest called strike plus with percentage in all the

1276
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 3: base on his sinker in all the base.

1277
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: I do remember you showed me that on the train.

1278
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 2: You also, you guys start writing these names down. It's this.

1279
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: I talk about playing high school.

1280
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 3: See them internalize the stats. But I just don't give

1281
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 3: people credit. All we'll see right.

1282
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 2: Now, I talk about playing high school baseball. Your thing

1283
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 2: is saying I saw this. I want to give you credit.

1284
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 2: I don't remember. I feel bad for not giving credit

1285
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 2: every single time.

1286
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do a Twitter scroll while you talk about

1287
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 3: the next thing to see if I can find it. Briefly.

1288
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta talk about my boy, Jeff McNeil, friend of

1289
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: the podcast. Shout to Jeff. He's been scalding hot since

1290
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 2: they've went on the road, of course, because he gets

1291
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: a little bit sleep with the newborn baby. I'm sure

1292
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 2: it's helping to get even six hours of sleep. It's

1293
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 2: gotta be an improvement for what he had. But second

1294
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: career through extra basic game smacking doubles all over the field. Today,

1295
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 2: Jeff has been just so hot. He's been so good.

1296
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: Suci an important part of this lineup. Really helps move

1297
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 2: the entire lineup around. And we also got to see

1298
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 2: Trevor May get back. But you found it.

1299
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 3: Got the ad John Anderson at John PGH. He's a really,

1300
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 3: really good good fantasy analysts. He had just he just

1301
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 3: spitstats all day. He has his own models for pitching, hitting.

1302
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: They're actually very good. I use them to play a lot.

1303
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 3: There's very good follow us with the John PGH.

1304
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 2: Now give me some Trevor May and focus. Trevor May

1305
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 2: was back for the first time since his injury, which

1306
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 2: and also wait real quick before you go into it.

1307
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 2: I heard him talk to the press or the reporters

1308
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: before the game or after the game yesterday before he

1309
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 2: made his appearance, and he was talking about his il

1310
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: stit and he said, basically, at the beginning of the

1311
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 2: year his arm had been bothering him, but it was

1312
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: like a day to day thing, and he's like, and

1313
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: it was really hard to focus on actually pitching when

1314
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 2: in the back of my mind I was hoping my

1315
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 2: arm was going to be okay enough to actually perform.

1316
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 2: So he was talking about like the il Stit was

1317
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: more of like for him to get back and be healthy.

1318
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: There wasn't actually, like necessarily anything particularly wrong, but he

1319
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: was like mentally physically, it was just kind of a

1320
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 2: coin flip, and it wasn't really worth trying to go

1321
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: out there every day and not have it for sure.

1322
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 3: And it was very nice se him back on the

1323
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 3: mound as his Mets ballpen needs just needs another another

1324
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 3: high leverage of Liever. You could trust he I believe

1325
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 3: will be that guy. Because Vlo was down tick but

1326
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 3: was his first major league gathering in a while. Something

1327
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 3: I just caught me incredibly off guard was that he

1328
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 3: just threw a splither for half his pitches. Today, I

1329
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: only even remember him throwing very many splitters ever, and

1330
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 3: I look back at it, this was the first year

1331
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 3: he ever actually debuted the pitch, and he was throwing

1332
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 3: it like between like ten and twenty five percent of

1333
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 3: time and his outings earlier this year, before he went down,

1334
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 3: it was like a year ago. Yeah, yeah, cool. I

1335
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 3: just I just that's something I forgot. I mean, we

1336
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 3: were both living in different apartments. That was like life

1337
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 3: was very we weren't. We weren't with the mats and

1338
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 3: everything was really different in April and May. But very

1339
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 3: cool to see him just like have a new weapon

1340
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 3: to go along was very good fastball and slider. So

1341
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 3: cool to see that if he can actually have a

1342
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 3: third pitch, like what where his ceiling could be seen?

1343
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 2: What the splitter's done for Taiwan. I'm interested to see

1344
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: what it can do for Trevor May. Michael Gibbs disaster.

1345
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 2: It is what it is. Don't really even want to

1346
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 2: talk about it. We said it already.

1347
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 3: Who cares. That's won this game, first time you first

1348
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 3: time he louder and run since June fourteen.

1349
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all you need to know. Let's win this game,

1350
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: and it really does lead us into the Big Braves preview.

1351
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: But before that, you guys know, we have a couple

1352
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 2: of things to go over. Here got the Big three

1353
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 2: and we got the estimate, so we're gonna go ahead

1354
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 2: and get the estimate going here. We're gonna bring in

1355
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 2: Johnny Stats.

1356
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 3: What's up there?

1357
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 2: John how you doing?

1358
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 4: What's up? Guys?

1359
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 5: First, first, and foremost, if you're starting a starting five

1360
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 5: on the Mets and Brandon Nemo and his hustle and.

1361
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 2: Are not involved like the Brandon Nimmo would be incredible

1362
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 2: at taking charges. I have no doubt in my mind.

1363
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 3: He's probably have great like rotation too. It's a great footwork,

1364
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 3: lateral movement.

1365
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 2: He he'd he'd put up the was it Tony Snell?

1366
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 2: The Tony Snell numbers where it's like zero zero zero zero,

1367
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 2: but forty minutes played.

1368
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 3: He's in every play, Yes, active hands, that'd be good. One.

1369
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 3: I missed him. I was just assumed. I assume he's

1370
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 3: like basically never played basketball in his life though.

1371
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 2: Because he's from like Wyoming or wherever he's from.

1372
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, who, you know how hard it is to gather ten

1373
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 3: people in Wyoming.

1374
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 2: He didn't play high school baseball, so I know you

1375
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 2: think he played basketball. Come on, it's probably unlikely, you go, I.

1376
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 4: Have an idea of a way we could find this out.

1377
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we could ask him, but you always need

1378
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 5: the glue guy. Speaking of a glue guy in needs mark.

1379
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 5: You need a victory in the worst of ways. Here

1380
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 5: five nothing that's and I mentioned this. I mentioned this

1381
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 5: a few days ago when we did the Wan Soto

1382
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 5: over under. It was like a car crash and I

1383
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 5: saw it in slow motion. I knew that you going under,

1384
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 5: which had worked so well, it's worked like a charm

1385
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 5: for James every single week. I knew that this time

1386
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 5: it was going to come back and bite you, and

1387
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 5: I wanted to stop you.

1388
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: But it didn't even matter though, because James hit right on.

1389
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 2: It was just I just I just a bullseye hit

1390
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 2: it perfectly, hit a bullseye.

1391
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 3: Did you can't beat that?

1392
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 2: Didn't even get a shot? What what am I gonna

1393
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 2: get wrong this time?

1394
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 3: Tell me John, you could have gone over or under

1395
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:47,439
Speaker 3: and loss.

1396
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1397
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 4: Literally, Well there's some math involved with this one.

1398
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 5: So for this episode we are going to go with

1399
00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 5: the total amount of hits by the acquisitions at the

1400
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 5: deadline for the Mets. So this is Daniel boulabat tylern

1401
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 5: Akelin hits combined. So take a second calculate it. Are

1402
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 5: we saying how many ritis?

1403
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 4: Are we saying?

1404
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 2: That's literally what I'm diving into right now is I'm

1405
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 2: looking at the Mets schedule. I mean this, this will

1406
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 2: be a little bit of our preview too. Here I'm

1407
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 2: just gonna name the pitching matchups for the Braves at least.

1408
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: So we got Kyle Wright, Ian Anderson, Max Free, Jacob Deerizzi,

1409
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 2: and Strider. So Freed is a lefty, which means Darren

1410
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 2: Ruff will get some total hits. God, five games two,

1411
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 2: This is like a this is so insane. Uh am

1412
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,439
Speaker 2: I going first? There's James go first.

1413
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 4: James has to go first.

1414
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 2: Okay, God, I can hear his number and be like

1415
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 2: that's crazy.

1416
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 3: Total hits, total hits. We got three players, we have

1417
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 3: a lot of righties, Bradys have a lefty heavy bullpen.

1418
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be it's gonna be in all hands on

1419
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 3: deck series too. So I'm sure we're gonna burn the

1420
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 3: bench most of these games. Oh yeah, we're probably looking

1421
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 3: at it. These three players probably like I would guess,

1422
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 3: like twenty seven ish at bats, twenty eight ish at bats,

1423
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 3: I would I wouldn't give I'm gonna give these guys.

1424
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give these guys a very clean from my

1425
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 3: twenty at bat to two fifty batting average, say seven hits.

1426
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's a really good number. That's a really

1427
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 2: good number. I am going to man, they walks, both

1428
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 2: of these, all of them walk too. That the oh

1429
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 2: hits are so hits are so hard to predict. I'm

1430
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 2: gonna take the over because I I you know, eight

1431
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: was eight was the number that I had in my mind.

1432
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 2: Eight was what I had in my mind. Jameson seven,

1433
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 2: I went, that's really close to what I said. I

1434
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 2: wish she said four. I wish she said one. I

1435
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 2: would win there, I think. But I'm gonna take the

1436
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 2: over on that one. Let's see if I can come

1437
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 2: back here and make it five to one or the

1438
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 2: magic number gets closer for James.

1439
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is I really like I'd really like you

1440
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,919
Speaker 3: going over there. The second I said seven, I wish

1441
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 3: I would have said five. And now I'm really happy

1442
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 3: I said seven.

1443
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: It's five games. Like you said, they're gonna get probably

1444
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 2: twenty seven to thirty at bats eight eight for thirty.

1445
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 2: That's very that's a good series for the Mets. If

1446
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 2: those guys go eight for.

1447
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 3: Thirty, if you win, it'll be my guy Nake win.

1448
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 3: Just ruining me with like a three hits.

1449
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 2: Oh that's so all that that would be perfect. I

1450
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 2: nake when your guy that would somehow be your jinx,

1451
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 2: there by underestimating Nate win.

1452
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 3: The best part of it is I have a hefty lead,

1453
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 3: and if those guys combined for eight or more hits,

1454
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 3: the Mets probably had a pretty pretty good scenes.

1455
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 2: It's it's a win win for you. You almost really

1456
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 2: can't lose.

1457
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 3: No, oh baby, well are we gonna go to the preview? Now?

1458
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 2: We're gonna do the big We'll do the Big Three too,

1459
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 2: because I enjoyed the while we have John here, Yeah,

1460
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 2: while we have John here, I enjoyed the Big Three.

1461
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 2: As you guys know, we have a little theme every

1462
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 2: episode where one of us picks one thing that is

1463
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 2: part of the Big Three theme. This one is just

1464
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 2: gonna be big boys in sports history, just just big people.

1465
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: Because the Mets have had their fair share. We've got

1466
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 2: big sexy Barto local own, we got Beef Daniel vogelback.

1467
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 2: Was is there a couple other Mo Vaughn I think

1468
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,280
Speaker 2: was around for a bit. Any other particularly large humans

1469
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,240
Speaker 2: that we can remember that played for the Mets?

1470
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 3: I mean everyone and everyone's favorite closer Amando Benito's was

1471
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 3: not slim.

1472
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 2: Geeze, don't even bring it. That's like one of my

1473
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 2: least favorite players ever. Hearmando Benitez. I got flashbacks there.

1474
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 3: But we just want to give some credit to vocal

1475
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 3: back because he's been an unbelievable a dish so far

1476
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 3: to the Mets. We're gonna everyone's gonna, everyone gonna name

1477
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 3: one of their favorite big boys in history of sports.

1478
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw it over the mark to ticket first.

1479
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna get started with a bit of a

1480
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 2: cult classic here, a bit of a deeper cut. But

1481
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 2: I feel like people when they know his name, they go, oh, yeah,

1482
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 2: I remember this guy. He had a little bit of

1483
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 2: shine and what I think was the nineties. It's gonna

1484
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 2: be Butterbean, the little fat boxer that was a heavyweight

1485
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 2: and he was knocking guys out. I just remember watching

1486
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 2: him with my dad when I was really young, just

1487
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 2: like highlights of him or like a rerun on MSG

1488
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 2: or whatever it was, and I was like, who is

1489
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 2: this dude? He's he was not an athlete by any means,

1490
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,879
Speaker 2: but he knocked out guys really, really well, almost every

1491
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 2: single time. And he was in a good movie. I

1492
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 2: don't know if I can say the name of the

1493
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 2: movie because it's technically I think a curse word. But

1494
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 2: you guys know what is JIMN. Knoxville. He punched him

1495
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,720
Speaker 2: in the face for one of the one of the scenes,

1496
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 2: and that Butterbeans.

1497
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 3: The man the butther Beans a good one. I forgot

1498
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 3: wother being existed. Butter laugh when he said brother being.

1499
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 2: Butterbean is a cold classic, like I said, And I

1500
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 2: feel like that fits perfectly with Mets and Mets fans.

1501
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 2: We love our cold classic players.

1502
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 3: All right, John, you or me take it away, James,

1503
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 3: all right, I'm gonna pick a guy who is a

1504
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 3: part of New York sports lore, has a Super Bowl ring,

1505
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 3: had a very specific role in the NFL, but had

1506
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 3: a sneaky, amazing college careers now talked about enough miss

1507
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 3: Jared Lorenzen. May may he rest in peace, but gone

1508
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 3: gone too soon, not forgotten Jared Lorenzen. I only people

1509
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 3: realize in college that he was like an unbelievably successful

1510
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 3: quarterback University Kentucky, a team that had virtually no success

1511
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 3: in football until the last like three or four years,

1512
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 3: and Mark Stoups got there. But sophomore year nineteen touchdown,

1513
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 3: seven picks, junior year twenty four touchdowns, five picks, senior

1514
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 3: year sixteen and eight. Not really prolific, no for college.

1515
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 3: But as Jared Lorenz did, he could always run the

1516
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 3: ball a little bit, you know, you're in there as

1517
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 3: much as he could every game. Jared Lorenzen got to

1518
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 3: the Giants, was the QB sneak artist for a few years,

1519
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 3: just putting that big body through the center of the line.

1520
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 3: Jared Lorenzen is my big boy pick.

1521
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 2: I like it. Heft, lefty man legend.

1522
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot an name. I couldn't figure that out.

1523
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 2: You just grabbed me. Thank you, John. What do you got?

1524
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 4: He played some arena football too, I believe.

1525
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. I definitely think you're totally right about that.

1526
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 2: I think he was. He was, he was. He was

1527
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 2: a football guy, big football.

1528
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 5: Guy exs and I was all day all right, So Mark,

1529
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 5: he kind of stole mine, uh or even still mine.

1530
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 4: You mentioned mine, And.

1531
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 5: This is maybe chalk because I'm going with a met

1532
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 5: who played not too long ago. In his name it's Mavan.

1533
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 5: But I have a reason for that, and that's because

1534
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 5: when Mauvan came here.

1535
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 4: First of all, we were.

1536
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 5: I mean, that was awesome former MVP. That was with

1537
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 5: al Mar and Burnitt's. Uh, it didn't work out. But

1538
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 5: I can assure you that when the Mets, when the

1539
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 5: Mets made these moves, the line at the Mets Clubhouse store,

1540
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 5: at the Memo Park Mall and Edison, New Jersey out

1541
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 5: the door with when single game tickets went on.

1542
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 4: Sale, there was a lot of excitement.

1543
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 5: So but what I remember most about Mo Vaughn at

1544
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 5: his time with the Mets not that five hundred plus

1545
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 5: foot home running hit off the scoreboard at Shay.

1546
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 4: It was the.

1547
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 5: Sandwich that the Carnegie Deli dedicated to Mo, called the Malicious.

1548
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 5: And that's that's what I sent to you guys earlier

1549
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 5: in the episode. I sent a random, arbitrary link for

1550
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 5: all the listeners who have no idea what I'm talking

1551
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 5: about right now, and I think James opened it up

1552
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 5: and was like, what is this. We're probably cut that

1553
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 5: part out because it was kind of weird, it made

1554
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 5: no sense, But I was sending a picture just to

1555
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 5: get ahead of it because I found it online. This thing,

1556
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys are looking at it

1557
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,479
Speaker 5: right now, a post production put in, so you guys

1558
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,439
Speaker 5: at home all you are watching can see this thing,

1559
00:59:56,080 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 5: the amount of Pushtrami and I think corn beef on

1560
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 5: this thing. I mean, that's that's right up my alley,

1561
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 5: like if I were to have one last meal, it's that.

1562
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: That's an impressive sandwich.

1563
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 4: You're look you're saying it.

1564
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's quite on it. I mean, so coast on

1565
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 3: the sandwich is so sneaky. What was that? Coastal on

1566
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 3: the sandwich is so sneaky?

1567
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 4: Great, Oh, it's amazing. You guys have from Anti Bros.

1568
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 4: And Pittsburgh good sandwich.

1569
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it goes Costa and sandwiches nice bridges in Pittsburgh.

1570
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 5: That's that's the big third one is there? Maybe Mario

1571
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 5: is one for the Pittsburgh pick three. But so obviously

1572
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 5: when the Mets get mo my dad takes me to

1573
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 5: the Carnegie Deli and we get a malicious and I

1574
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 5: think between the two of us, and this is when

1575
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 5: I was like ten and I could I could put

1576
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 5: down some food then can still do it?

1577
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 4: I think we ate like a quarter of it and

1578
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 4: I was it to the two.

1579
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 2: Of us, it's impressive looking sandwich.

1580
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 4: I mean, it's are you guys in deli like that?

1581

01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,000

Speaker 2: basically Philadelphia.

1588
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 3: Before we do the Jersey debate again, I want to

1589
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 3: point out that John said this guy played with the

1590
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 3: Mets not too long ago. Movon's life game with the

1591

Speaker 3: Not that long ago. It's only twenty years. There's there's

Speaker 3: are only Mark, I'm only seven years old.

1595
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 2: There's a good chunk of our listeners that were not

1596
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 2: born yet. I promise you.

1597
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 3: That big chunk of our listeners. I don't know Movon was.

1598
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 3: Don't even know about Movon's nineteen ninety five MVP Award,

1599
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 3: thirty nine homers, one hundred and twenty six RBI.

1600
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, back to the delis. That's like, that's one

1601
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,680

Speaker 3: not have delis in Columbus, Ohio. I have a really

1620
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 3: good food, but absolutely no delis and no pizza. The

1621
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 3: quench that grave Man's tough had one.

1622
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 5: But that's because Bloomington's probably the elite Big ten college town.

1623
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 4: But we don't have to.

1624
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 3: I mean, everything you give up in athletics, you've make

1631
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 3: If I shut out Mark for this entire year, he's

1632
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 3: gotta wear a tuxi though every game in April.

1633
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 2: But what happens if what happens? If you what happens

1634
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 2: if you don't though, if you might as well if

01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely not one that's one sided. I do not agree

1639
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 3: to that, then well, I mean you're losing five nothing.

1640
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 3: We gotta guess some comedy in here, keep it interesting. Nothing,

1641
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 3: Then that deal activates. Okay, I'll agree to that.

1642
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 2: If I go down ten nothing, that deal activates.

1643
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 3: It clicks.

1644
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, all right, thanks John. We're gonna

1645
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: go ahead and preview the Atlanta Braves series now here

1646
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 2: on another long episode, but let's we had a lot

1647
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 2: to talk about the gram sures or trade deadline. We

1648
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 2: went to Washington. That was the first trip with the

1649
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah since we've been in the official podcast that the

1650
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 2: Mets can't wait to do more. Hopefully we will do

1651
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 2: more soon. A lot of good places that the Mets

1652
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 2: could send the boys, and we're ready to travel at

1653
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 2: a moment's notice.

1654
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 3: Not now you you're ready to travel the moment.

1655
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, I'm ready to travel out of the moment.

1656
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 2: Nows you with your real job over there.

1657
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 3: Mad I would need I would need some kind of notice,

1658
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 3: some actual not this more than a moment, maybe like

1659
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 3: fourteen moments. But that's literally give me, like give me

1660
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 3: like forty five seconds. I could probably figure it out.

1661
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 3: But I can't remember in my in my recent memory

1662
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 3: the last time the Mets played the series that was

1663
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 3: just critical.

1664
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 2: I feel like the big one is like twenty fifteen

1665
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Nats with the Drew Storren melt down.

1666
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 3: I feel like that's it's like the only one the

1667
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 3: big David Wright hit the fifth pump at home, fifth

1668
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 3: pump at Home.

1669
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 2: Players, I guess like to uh for the Philly series

1670
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 2: maybe in twenty sixteen when as Drew Will hit the

1671
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 2: walk off home run off of edib bry Ramos and

1672
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 2: put the hands up like that was a really big

1673
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 2: one too, And.

1674
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 3: The twenty sixteen Under and c R Day series. Yeah,

1675
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 3: I punched the hole on my coffee table.

1676
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, like there's there's been them, but to be to

1677
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 2: be frank, the Mets haven't been very good recently, so

1678
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 2: there's not a whole lot of meaningful games. When you

1679
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 2: don't really have a chance that play meaningful games in

1680
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 2: August typically no.

1681
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 3: And this is five games at home in August against

1682
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 3: your bitter rival, two of the four best teams in

1683
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 3: the entire National League. I say four now because the

1684
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 3: freaking Padres got one. So though Josh haythen Brandon.

1685
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 2: Drury and Josh Bell frustrating and Josh Bell, oh Josh,

1686
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 2: he's that's really good.

1687
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 3: This is this is is as big as a series

1688
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 3: as there is. How I mean, how often you even

1689
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 3: play five games series? Like you kidding me?

1690
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 2: That's that's the NLDS. This is an NLDS series, except

1691
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 2: you have to play all five games. Even if you

1692
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 2: lose the first three, still have two more to play.

1693
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 2: Like this series, I it's gonna be. It's so massively important.

1694
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 2: There's no other way around. I was trying to think

1695
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 2: of a better way, but like, this really is the

1696
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 2: most important series they've played all year, could be the

1697
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 2: most important series that they play all year, depending on

1698
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 2: how the games and the series ends up, you know,

1699
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 2: playing out but five games at home you have to

1700
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 2: feel somewhat good though the way the Mets have been

1701
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 2: playing baseball.

1702
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 3: To be fair, I definitely feel somewhat especially getting these

1703
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 3: five games at home, but it's also become so much

1704
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 3: more critical. Kind of alluded to it a minute ago,

1705
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 3: But now whoever doesn't win this division is going into

1706
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 3: a wildcard matchup with like very very likely the newly

1707
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 3: revamped San Diego Padres. We've gotten to this wildcard status

1708
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 3: without Fernanda Tattis and without one so though, and even

1709
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 3: when I mama for two weeks after Spring's ankle. So

1710
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 3: now you're gonna have all three of those guys, and

1711
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 3: not that the rest of the Padres lineup. But it's

1712
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 3: even still that intimidating Josh Bell's good crona war. It's annoying.

1713
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 3: Grisham has potential, hasn't.

1714
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 2: Played that pro farlaying well good. PROFI is playing well.

1715
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 3: PROFII is playing well. It's like a week so so

1716
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 3: far this week. But now, just the way the new

1717
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 3: format works, the bottom wildcard team is going up to

1718
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 3: play against the third division winner. Right, the first two

1719
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 3: have the buys and the middle two teams and the wildcard.

1720
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 3: The first and second wild cards are playing a three

1721
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 3: game series. I don't want to play three game series

1722
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 3: with anybody.

1723
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 2: Nope, especially not the Padres right now. They have good

1724
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 2: pitching too. So this series is not only important for

1725
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 2: the NL East implications, but also just a playoff picture

1726
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: because you don't want to have to play that three

1727
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 2: game series at all.

1728
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 3: No, not, not, not at all. And we still have

1729
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 3: nine more games against the Braves after this, I think

1730
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 3: all I think, I think they're all coming in Atlanta.

1731
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 3: If I'm mistaken, I have a schedule pulled up right now,

1732
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna check. Yeah, we have a four game series

1733
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 3: in two weeks in Atlanta, and then the second in

1734
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 3: the last series of the year, three games in Atlanta

1735
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 3: over when we switch them off to October. So think

1736
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 3: it'll be a lot different then. But this is, this

1737
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 3: is this is big right now. I I it's just

1738
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 3: like you can't. I mean, it's not likely because the

1739
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 3: Braves are very good team, a lot of very good players.

1740
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 3: But you can like create some kind of a something

1741
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 3: of a stranglehold this series with with a few game

1742
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 3: lead we have on them now and the fact that

1743
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 3: you have five at home. Both of your best pitchers

1744
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 3: are pitching while arguably the Braves. Well second best pitcher

1745
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 3: is not.

1746
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 2: I mean you say that every every pitcher is pitching.

1747
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 2: It's five games, like no, but double Heathers.

1748
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 3: So it's gonna guys, guys being called out. Yeah, Jaco

1749
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 3: Derez is pitching in this series, but it's and Charlie

1750
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 3: Le Morton is not. David Peterson is starting in this series,

1751
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 3: Chris Bassett is not. So it's theoretically would be every player,

1752
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 3: but it's not because it's this double heather.

1753
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 2: I didn't think about it that way.

1754
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So this is it's gonna be big. This is

1755
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 3: gonna be an absolute dog fight. It's gonna it's like it's

1756
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 3: gonna be it's gonna be a war.

1757
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a war. It's gonna be a battle.

1758
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be electric at the stadium. I

1759
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 2: know we're gonna be there for quite a few games

1760
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 2: this weekend games.

1761
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 3: It's assuming two maybe three.

1762
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 2: This is gonna be playoff atmosphere. It's gonna be and

1763
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 2: it's gonna be playoff atmosphere of Mets fans because Atlanta

1764
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 2: just doesn't travel like that up here.

1765
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 3: It's a little ten And we had playof atmospherelast week

1766
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 3: it's the Yankees, but it was like twenty thirty percent

1767
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 3: Yankee fans. At least. This is gonna be like, there's

1768
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 3: gonna be rock solid. You're gonna see a couple Grays fans,

1769
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 3: a couple of on Rocker jerseys, which there's gonna be

1770
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of national tension is going

1771
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 3: to be on this series, which is pretty cool think

1772
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 3: about it.

1773
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 2: And we do have the first official blackout, which I

1774
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 2: didn't mention earlier, but uh, first official blackout. On Friday,

1775
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 2: they're giving a free T shirt, free black Max Scherz

1776
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 2: or T shirt, I believe, to every single fan that

1777
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 2: comes into the stadium, forty thousand of them. So you

1778
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 2: don't really necessarily have to rush to get there, but

1779
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 2: I would. I would because you know that people are

1780
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 2: you can't trust people, and they'll try and get a

1781
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 2: couple multiples as they can.

1782
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think there's something that giving out on Thursday,

1783
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 3: and I think it's just for might just be a

1784
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 3: season ticket holders, but I know some kind of bucket

1785
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 3: hat thing, some kind of bucket promotion. I don't think

1786
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 3: it's wid.

1787
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 2: You're a big bucket hat guy.

1788
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 3: I'm not a big bucket guy. I am a I'm

1789
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 3: a medium bucket that guy. We're once. It's in a

1790
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 3: blue mood.

1791
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you did have that cursed one last year.

1792
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,560
Speaker 3: I know, but we're fine now. I think Saturday is

1793
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 3: also a bobblehead being given away, right, really, I believe

1794
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 3: it's like at the ground bobblehead or something.

1795
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: Big weekend for promotions. I'm sure John will be able

1796
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 2: to drop us for us. Oh yeah, it's a grand

1797
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: k counter one. He just put that in there. That's

1798
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 2: actually a really cool bobblehead.

1799
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 3: That's a sick You could change the strikeouts past that.

1800
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 3: We ran through the matchups before it was just talking

1801
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,719
Speaker 3: about the estimate. But Kyle Wright against Carrasco tonight Thursday,

1802
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 3: if you guys listening to this, that's gonna be a good,

1803
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 3: good matchup, a good picture. Kyle Wright has been really

1804
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 3: good this year, a guy who's been waiting to break out.

1805
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 3: Friday night during the blackout. We have Ian Anderson, who

1806
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 3: has struggled tremendously over the last few months, entire season.

1807
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 3: He just kind of like lost his stuff on the

1808
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 3: way it is. The Saturday Mattinee is the one I'm

1809
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:48,719
Speaker 3: really circling though right now, because it's Max Cherzer versus

1810
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 3: Max Freed, another off Max off, just like we had

1811
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 3: two weeks ago in Atlanta, which I respect the hell

1812
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 3: out of Max Free is such a good picture.

1813
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, as her too.

1814
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 3: And then Saturday Night Peterson versus Reazy. Then Sunday four

1815
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 3: o'clock game. I don't know how or why it's the

1816
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 3: four o'clock game.

1817
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 2: Doesn't make anything, was not Sunday Night Baseball.

1818
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 3: I only I think this. I see ESPN Plus on

1819
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 3: the schedule, so I don't really know. But Jacob Cgroneber

1820
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,640
Speaker 3: Spedi Stither. If you guys love gas, if you love velocity,

1821
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 3: if you love fastballs, if you like really discussing sliders,

1822
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 3: this is the one.

1823
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 2: High octane five innings from both guys.

1824
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 3: Yes, intense five inches from each and we all know

1825
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 3: what the condition of these bullpens are gonna look like

1826
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 3: after that, So that a lot of this this game

1827
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 3: could be here that could be a real tooth and

1828
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 3: nail late in the game, which I kind of feel

1829
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 3: like a lot of these games will be.

1830
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 2: Braves are really good, you guys know, we don't have

1831
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 2: to tell you that. But the Mets are also really good.

1832
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 2: I mean, the Mets got better, as we know, so

1833
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 2: did the Braves. This is this is gonna be a

1834
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,759
Speaker 2: slog like realistically, three two is a very likely outcome

1835
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 2: for both sides.

1836
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 3: Either two would be if the Mets win the series

1837
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 3: three two, I'm.

1838
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 2: Gonna sell it, and anything more is obviously better. But like,

1839
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 2: this is a series where the Mets have a chance

1840
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 2: to make a huge, huge, huge dent in this because

1841
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 2: right now the Braves are what three games back in

1842
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 2: this three and a half, three and a half, so

1843
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 2: they have a chance to separate themselves a little bit here.

1844
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:02,639
