1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: What is Up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: of the Mets That Podcast, a little bit more cheery

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: than the last one. I don't think there's any ranting

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: going on in today's episode. It was just honestly pretty

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: whatever series against the Diamondbacks. The Mets end up splitting

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: two of the four against Arizona. There were some games

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: they looked good. There were some games they looked bad.

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: They had a win that almost got blown up five runs,

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: some questionable decision making by Carlos Mendoza late in games

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: as well. We'll talk about everything as we always do.

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: are another continent. This is a big test for not

23
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: only you being out of the States and seeing how

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: the Mets play, but also men. I'm excited to get

25
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: out to Scotland and England for the London series at

26
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: some point and watched some Mets baseball over there. But

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: right now we gotta talk about the Diamondbacks how we

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: feel about the series.

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: It's kind of like you said, was super just whatever,

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: because the first two games were awesome, and then there

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: were a lot of good vibes heading into the Darryl

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: Strawberry retire number retirement ceremony on Saturday, the game which

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: the Mets got molly wopped, got just completely murdered. And

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: then Sunday you feel like you're gonna get this win.

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: You're gonna win the first series the City field since April.

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna finally be able to cross that off the list.

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: And then, just for some reason, Jake Deekman, the lefty,

38
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: comes in for the save against Katel Marte, who's a

39
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: significantly better right handed hitther than left handed hither. For

40
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: the second time in the game than kittel Marte hits

41
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: a home run off a left handed pitcher. The Diamondbacks win,

42
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: Paul se Waald gets his revenge part two pitches again,

43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: but there's another save against the Mets, and you're kind

44
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: of just feeling the same way you've been feeling because

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: the Met's going three out of the four of the

46
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: series against defending National League champs, a team that's had

47
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: a similar disappointing start to the year, a team that

48
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: also feels a little disjointed, a team that's highly beatable,

49
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 2: And we showed that the first couple of games of

50
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: the series would be feeling really good right now, but

51
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: it's just like again, snatching the victory from the snatching

52
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: defeat from the clutch as a victory.

53
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, bringing in Deecman there made no sense. I know,

54
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: his bullpen isn't deep, especially now with Diaz not being

55
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: there and Drew Smith still on the IL, which completely

56
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: forgot about Drew Smith. By the way, when's he coming back?

57
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Have we heard an update about him at all?

58
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? This series he was active, Okay, Okay, so he

59
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: was yes, pitched and I don't think he pitched, but

60
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: I think Sunday might have been the day he was activated.

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Because I was like, I don't remember him

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: pitching at all, Like, that's kind of crazy to me.

63
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: But in the same time, kit Tell Marte owns left

64
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: handed pitching. He's actually struggled against right handed pitchers this year.

65
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: He's been a league average hitter. We know that ops

66
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: at six 't eighty makes you a league average. That's

67
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: why he's been against right handed pitching. Left handed pitching

68
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: nine to fifty oh ps. That was a head scratcher.

69
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Makes no sense from any way that you look at it,

70
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: the process, the thought anything. And like you said, the

71
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: diamond Backs bullpen did just shut us down in that

72
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: last game because we actually hit Brandon Fop pretty well,

73
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: Jennie Martinez with the triple, Brandon Neimo with a triple,

74
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: like there were some good things going on there. But

75
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: that's It's also been tail the Mets this season too.

76
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: They don't really play full complete games, like they hit

77
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: for three or four innings and then they disappeared.

78
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: I actually don't don't think the hit fought well at all.

79
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: I watched this game. I was on this game tracking

80
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: it and writing updates four it on Rodo World, but

81
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: five looked awesome, literally besides for three straight batters and

82
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: that fourth inning, whenever he gave up the triple, the

83
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: triples to Nemo and third inning. Yeah yeah. And also

84
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: just want to say also Cautel Marte this year, in

85
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: in eighty nine at bats against left handed pitching, he

86
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: has nine home runs and one hundred and forty four

87
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: at bats he gets right handed pitching, he has three

88
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: home runs. Nice, So that that was a clear that's

89
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: that's just again, that a good decision. I don't know

90
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: who the better option was, Like, I don't think you

91
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: want Drew Smith's first appearance off the IL to be

92
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: in a situation where you're going to close, But I

93
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: also kind of wish that maybe you just again, you

94
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: just real line the rest of the guys. I know

95
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: Regarrett for some reason keeps struggling, specifically in the ninth inning.

96
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't want to do that anymore. Out of

97
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: Vina Walls is blown saves recently to throw him in

98
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: the a thing, take some pressure off. Maybe just let

99
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: that know, Unie has get to save opportunity. Maybe let

100
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Daniel get.

101
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: You know, who would have been a good guy to

102
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to get that save in the ninth inning,

103
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: oh Orge Lopez.

104
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: I guess he probably would have gotten that. Say again,

105
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: we talk about I don't even know talk about that

106
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: it is. We'll rehash that for a second. That's gonna

107
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: be a bit of a cast episode for the boys here,

108
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: just because Marciano Rush he's going to the airport soon. Yeah,

109
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: so we're it's not gonna be the usual hour fifteen

110
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: marathon we like to give you, guys. But before we

111
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: talk about the series two minutes, do you think Riolopez

112
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 2: deserved to be released.

113
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: No, especially when we know that he was misquoted and

114
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: that he again, if you listen to it and we

115
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: put the clip in the last episode, it does sound

116
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: like he said I am the worst teammate, not I

117
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: am the worst team in finite Major League Baseball. So

118
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: to me, especially now knowing what was going on off

119
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: the field too with Jorge Lopez, how his son needs

120
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: that transplant and he's living in Cincinnati and there's like

121
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of stress going on there. Shout out Boomer

122
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Sisen for bringing that to light on his radio show.

123
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Just felt it felt like a weird hill to die on.

124
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, it felt like the Mets really overreacted

125
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: to this, especially because Hooraye Lopez has been pretty good

126
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: this year and probably has value to this team and

127
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: will have value at the trade deadline, and you're just

128
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 1: defaing him because he got misquoted by Steve Gelbs. Feels weird.

129
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Don't understand it didn't like the move. I mean it

130
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: was all because of the glove thing. Throwing the glove

131
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: on the field. That's unprofessional. That's a temper tantrum. You

132
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: don't want to have temper tantrums.

133
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: No, But I'm saying like I don't, I don't know.

134
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't think it's one temper tantrum. She get

135
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: kicked off the team that probably could use relief. But

136
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: again just going back to the way that we use

137
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: the relievers in this game. It just maybe, like I

138
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 2: don't know, like get Drew Smith one of those innings

139
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: early so you can push everybody back instead of Dan

140
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: Young deadnel unions. Then the users also, I think for

141
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: sure has some stuff. I think so I believe he's

142
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: another guy who probably now can stay in this bullpen

143
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: for a little while and then keep winds up pitching

144
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: well through more sliders and fastballs. In this game, it

145
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: was an eighty seven mile and I was slider that

146
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: got up to ninety miles an hour. Fastball got up

147
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: to ninety eight and had pretty good life on it.

148
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: Slily had a lot of a lot of drop on

149
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: and I little like tight gyros slide that falls off

150
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: the table. He's got some good stuff there. Same with

151
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: Dani Young. Dan Young is also throwing way harder this

152
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: game where you used to see him throwing, He's he's

153
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: usually an eighty eight eighty nine mile an hour guy.

154
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: He was getting that syncre up in ninety one ninety

155
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: two on Sunday and again looked really good in his

156
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: first couple of appearances since he came back from the

157
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: minor League. I think he was the actual roster move

158
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: maybe for Jorge Lopez. But again, they just they just

159
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: kind of keep running out of stuff and just a

160
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: game where you again like it feels like they kind

161
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: of hit Brandon Fott Harvard. Brandon Fott missed a lot

162
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: of bats and Branda Fott had eight strikeouts and I

163
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: think the five or six innings that he pitched. So

164
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: it's just for some reason, the Mets can only score

165
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: runs this one time back.

166
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: That's it.

167
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: They had these back to back hits this ending they

168
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: drove in another one, and now it's all over all

169
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: the funds up, all the funds up.

170
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: And the problem too with this game as well and

171
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: the in the bullpen and the lack of offense, is

172
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: that Jose Kintana gave us four innings as well, like

173
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: the fact that he couldn't even make it to a

174
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: fifth completely changes how you have to use this bullpen

175
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: because now you have to stretch guys out, you have

176
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: to try to get extra outside of dudes. This is

177
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: This has been the frustrating thing with Jose Kinitana. Outside

178
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: that one really good start he's made this year against

179
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: what was it, say, Louis where he went eight. Yeah,

180
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: which again and now there's kind of hot. But they've

181
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: been one of the worst teams in baseball too. He's

182
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: been a huge problem in this rotation, Jose Kintana. He

183
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: just consistently goes out there and doesn't pitch well, which

184
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: is the exact opposite what we've been hoping for.

185
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially when he came back out for that fourth inning.

186
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: That was right. I just remember that the Diamonbacks had

187
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: men on base and men on base and men on base.

188
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: The top of the fourth was right. After the Mets

189
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: had their rally to take the leads, You're like, okay, nice,

190
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: you just had your first scre was sitting Jose Katana,

191
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: and now you can get into this game. Maybe just

192
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: now drift into the six like we're used to veteran

193
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: Jose Katana doing. So you can save this bullpen and

194
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: we can have as many options and weapons that we

195
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: need to get through this ninth inning. Because the guy

196
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: like ca tell Marte again, if he faced the lefty,

197
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: you're going to going to be in trouble. But he

198
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: just didn't do that. The Diamonbacks had men on immediately.

199
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: The Mets had to warm the bullpen in that fourth inning.

200
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: Den no Union has actually got up before actually coming

201
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: into the game, and it was just like, this is

202
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: the kind of thing that you want a veteran reliever,

203
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: a pitched veteran starting pitching on your team to alleviate,

204
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: not make worse. And him getting chased in that inning,

205
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: letting men on base basically every single lening he pitched

206
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: and just not being comfortable to really doing anything well

207
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: on another start is a problem. He's hard to do

208
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: that every fifth day, every sixth day, I guess in

209
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: the Mets case and then expect to keep winning these games.

210
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was definitely frustrating to not be able

211
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: to win the series. Like you said, would have been

212
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: the first time since April for the Mets to win

213
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: a series at City Field at home, and they completely

214
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: just let the Diamondbacks off the hook, which is it's annoying,

215
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: but that's been the Mets season this year. Can't scream

216
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: and yell about it more than we did the last game.

217
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Some of the other games to talk about, let's just

218
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: running back to the start of the series where the

219
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: Mets actually won that game coming off of the players

220
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: only meeting, don't I don't know what was going on,

221
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: but the Mets vibes were better the first two games

222
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: of the series. The Mets looked like they were having fun. Yeah,

223
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: they're doing the slap ass celebration, which like, whatever gets

224
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: these guys loose and playing well. I'm four. I know

225
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: they ended up tying the series, but like those first

226
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: two games, you saw like, oh my god, baseball fun, excitement.

227
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Team is playing well. Lindor four for four in Game one,

228
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: which was huge to see. He's been so good since

229
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: moved up to the leadoff spot. I think he has

230
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: the most f four in baseball since that arbitrary day

231
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: that he's been moved up to the leadoff spot, which

232
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: is great. Sorry, Marte even swinging the bat well after

233
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: I called him one of the worst outfielders in baseball.

234
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: So whatever it takes, just kind of going.

235
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: It's funny too when we talk about that. Just again,

236
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: be a little more of anarrative episode. Lindor has been

237
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: amazing since we moved the leadoff, but Brandon Nemo has

238
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: been horrific at the free ball. Brand Nemo is up

239
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: to basically a fifty percent strike er ray and I

240
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 2: think his triple on Sunday was only his second. I

241
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: can't remember. I just had the stat his second or

242
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: third extra base hit since getting moved down to three

243
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: spot in the lineup. So maybe there's just this hecks

244
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: on the Mets. The Mets hit number three hit there

245
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: in the lineup where it can't work. But it's just again,

246
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: it's a shame with Alonzo, Lntorian Nemo. Now that Alonzo

247
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: and Lindor hitting really well, even Jaydon Martinez thinking really

248
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: well in the four hole. For some reason, now Brand

249
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 2: Nemo it's untenable. His average dropped down to two ten

250
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: nearly fifty percent strike ray again since getting moved down

251
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: to three spot in the other and now he's becoming

252
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: a major issue down there where we have these rallies

253
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: and they just they can't do it. Even Doging Martes

254
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: is hitting the crap out of the ball again, but

255
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: it's just you can't. Not nothing is clicking at the

256
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: same time for this team in any way, shape or

257
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: for him. Ever. Even the game on Thursday after the

258
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: Players Only Meeting, they're like, oh my god, the Players

259
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: Only Meeting were feeling great. They went down to nothing

260
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: in this game and it didn't even win until they

261
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: scored individual runs in the seventh and eighth inning. Because

262
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 2: of our herculean performance by Francisco indoors best game of

263
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: the year. We raised the batting average twenty points in

264
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: one game alone. I think sixty ops points from this

265
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: to his first step out on Friday night. So it's

266
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: just that he's back to like where he normally is

267
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: that like a one little blower normally is like a

268
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: one ten WRC plus in the season. But even after

269
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: they talked about the Players Only Meeting so much and

270
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: they harped on in the postgame at press conferences. This

271
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: was a game they won again somewhat miraculously, and it.

272
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: Took Zach Gallon throwing facing one batter and coming out

273
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: after six pitches. So the bullpen for the Dimebacks was

274
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: on the ropes in a long series immediately, and they

275
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: still couldn't even really like make her capitalize on the

276
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: fact that Gallon gets pulled from the game early, which

277
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: seems often. Man, it's frustrating, But on the pitching side,

278
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: your boy Christian Scott on the mound, tell the people

279
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: how you're feeling after that start.

280
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: I almost just like can't even really talk about because

281
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: he meily got sent out to the minors after this,

282
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: but which I know, it's like circumstantial why I gut

283
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: sent down in the minor leagues. I was get frustrated

284
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: on Twitter that morning. I put out a bunch of

285
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: memes from my account and from mett Up about it,

286
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: and everyone's like, well, actually, he's gonna get called up

287
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: right after, right after the London series, which totally I

288
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: totally understand why he got sent down, but it's the

289
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 2: fact that the metal splitting hair is over. The guy

290
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 2: who's objectively probably been with the Luisa with the Broughs

291
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: Louis Abrino start on Friday, but again one of the

292
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: two or three best starting pitchers in the rotation that

293
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: they have in the entire organization healthy right now. So

294
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: to see him get sent down after another one where

295
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: again he was just he was very solid. He again

296
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: quickly gives up these runs early, but then he comes

297
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: back very hard, just throwing fastballs.

298
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: The only thing.

299
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: About Scott that keeps happening that's concerning for me. It's

300
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: this thing I was concerned about in spring training and

301
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: the off season when I talked about him, is that

302
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: you guys are seeing now with his command it's control

303
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: over command. Wait no, yeah, yeah, control over command where

304
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: he's no longer really getting the swings and misses on

305
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: the off speed stuff, and he's getting them in the fastball.

306
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: That's because people are just teeing off in that fastball.

307
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: Diamback swung at twenty nine of the fastballs that the

308
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: Christian Scotts threw the other day for the atotal pitches,

309
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: and they were in the zone a last sixty percent

310
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: of the time. He always hangs out in the zones, nearly

311
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: sixty percent zone rate his way above the league average,

312
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: but people are taking hacks of this pitch because they

313
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: know it's gonna be in the strike zone. And then

314
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: the same thing is happening with even the sweeper, the

315
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: split change, and the tight the gyro slider. So since

316
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: he's not really able to nab corners with those pitches

317
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: and they're all still above average pitch and Curtns stuff,

318
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: they still keep creating out well. I think since he's

319
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: been getting hit a little bit harder, people are taking

320
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: a little more shots of stuff. But it just comes

321
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: back to where these pitches are. And if you look

322
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: at the heat maps of this, he just keeps throwing

323
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: these pitches right in the plate and it misses, it

324
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: doesn't get hurt as much as it should get hurt

325
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: because of how good the stuff is. So this is

326
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: like the modicum of sanity, like the save for myself,

327
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: Like you're going back down in the minor leagues, maybe

328
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: makes one start there for four innings, and it's just

329
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: fine away to like hit some more corners and edges

330
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: with these pitches. But it's also like you see a

331
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: game on Sunday and Christian Scott's miles better than Jose

332
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: Katanah he gives you a significantly better chance to win

333
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: a game in Jose Catana, and probably also David Peterson

334
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: was just the fact that he has the option. They

335
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: want to save some innings and then they have these

336
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: extra off days to the London trips, we get sent down.

337
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, frustrating, frustrating to wake up to that news

338
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: on Friday.

339
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, at least we know that was Omar

340
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: and Nerva's last game ever as a New York Met.

341
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: They defeated him. After that game on Thursday, we acquired

342
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: Luis nz from the Yankees, who made his debut I

343
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: believe for the Mets this weekend on Sunday. Just yeah,

344
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: Homarn Nervas's it's it wasn't happening for him, and Francis

345
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: gquaver has been rehabbing in Binghamton, so the time is coming.

346
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: Francis Squaverras might be back for the London series, right,

347
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: that's the that's the thought he could be back.

348
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: Yes, the rumor going around. Also Terrenz has a connection

349
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: with Mendoza from the minor leagues, and Nevayas talked about

350
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: it last week. One of the worst stretches that we've

351
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: ever seen a major leaguer have in thirty game sample

352
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: to have negative one war. I looked it up on

353
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: stat head. It was like, I want to find tweet

354
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: about it, but there was I think one hundred other

355
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: players in the history of Major League Baseball that done that,

356
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: So it wasn't relevant enough for a tweet, but relevant

357
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: enough for a comment on the podcast. At what we

358
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: just saw, guys, was generational bad play for someone making

359
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: what seven and a half million dollars.

360
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: Too much money, way too much money. Shout out the

361
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: Mets bullpen howser Danny Young and Righaret for closing it out.

362
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: They didn't allow a hit after they came in for

363
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Christian Scott, and again the Mets fought back for that one.

364
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: Francisco Indoor put the team on his back and they

365
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: get that win. Now for probably the most interesting game

366
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: of the series, Game two, ten to nine win against

367
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks should have been a lot easier, but boy,

368
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: oh boy, did it get interesting in the ninth inning

369
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: when Reed Garrett came in, like you said, having those

370
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: weird struggles in the ninth giving up back to back

371
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: nukes to Jock Peterson and Christian Walker, which was it

372
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: made it a little bit scary going into the game,

373
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: into the ninth of the five run lead, and then

374
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the one run game, You're like, Ah,

375
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: what's happening here? And am I right? Regarrett fastball again

376
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: on those home runs.

377
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: Re Garrett fastball on the home runs.

378
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: Let's see.

379
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: I think at least Christian Walker was he threw that

380
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: thing right down the middle. Yeah, I was seeing stars

381
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: during the so I wasn't. I wasn't really thinking about it.

382
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, one was a color. One was a fastball. Okay,

383
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: so very similar, but still throwing mostly splitters in that

384
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: but still he n throw one splitter in the strike zone.

385
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: He got two whiffs on it, both of swings outside

386
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: the strike zone. But it's just again still so touch

387
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: and go right now, reg Garrett, you because see the

388
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: excitement in him when he got had this clean inning

389
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: on Sunday. He'd be like, all right, nice, I'm still here.

390
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: I'm still here. I'm still here. Because he's still here

391
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: even though he had this horrib blending on Friday. Everything

392
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: I said in the last episode I think holds true

393
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: that he's still an above average reliever, But right now

394
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: it feels like it's swung back more because of the

395
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: re Garrett we saw last year compared to the Regarrett

396
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: we saw in April. He's not as goods the guy

397
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: in April, and he's not as bad as the guy

398
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: from last year and the any we're closed. He's still

399
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: very good reliever. But it's just it's such a weird

400
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: mix and the fact that he did lead with splitthers.

401
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: In this one he only threw he only got throw

402
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: eight pitches just because they were jumping all over everything.

403
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just it doesn't seem like he's It

404
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: is a weird thing to say, but I'm gonna try.

405
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try find a way to say without like

406
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: trying to be Mean's regrets. I respect Grgrett, think he's

407
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: really valuable part of this bullpen, but it doesn't seem

408
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: like the ninth inning is his home.

409
00:15:59,400 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: That's fair.

410
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: It's not where he seems the most comfortable. And same

411
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: with Jake Deacmit, same with Adam Alavino. It just seems

412
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: like right now his bullpen's dying for somebody step up.

413
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: But it seemed like it could have been Rigarrett, but

414
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: it definitely has not been.

415
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it doesn't seem like the closer role isn't

416
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: necessarily a fit for him. On the offensive side, for

417
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: the Mets, every single player had a hit for the

418
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: Mets in this game. This is also the Mets debut

419
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: of Jose Iglacias, because of course we know Beaty sent

420
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: down Jose Glacias as well to help out with this.

421
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: He's fine, he's whatever. He's someone that we talked about

422
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: in spring training starting to show a little more pop,

423
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: showed a little bit more in Syracuse as well. We

424
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: need a middle infielder. If Francisco Lindoor ever got hurt

425
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: during the game or whatnot, it would have been like

426
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil playing shortstop or even Brett Baidy when he

427
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: was on the team. So to have Jose Glacis around

428
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: probably just the most sensible thing for this organization to do. Also,

429
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: shout out Mark Viento's playing really good baseball again, continuing

430
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: to hit. The fielding has been fine, it's been totally fine.

431
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: But at the play he's been really good and he's

432
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: looked like a major league hitter.

433
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: You could feel the urgency that he's playing with as well.

434
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: There was a diving, there was a ball I think

435
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: it was gets on Marte double down the line on

436
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: Sunday where it was just out of the reach of

437
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: Vento's It seemed like he more dove over and just

438
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: kind of missed the ball. And it's a tough play

439
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: to make. I don't think I even expect Mark Vantis

440
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: to get dirty and make that play. But the sheer

441
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: anger on his face pounding the ground after he missed

442
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: that ball, where he feels like every play he makes,

443
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: his backup is up against the wall. And that's kind

444
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: of a nice thing to see for somebody on this

445
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: Mets team because we've kind of chastised them throughout the

446
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: season for being like not lackaday'sical at time, but just

447
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: like taking the wait and see, let's just take it

448
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: easy approach. We know we're better than this approach where

449
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: you have a guy like Ventos who's now been playing

450
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: with his head on fire because he wants this job

451
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: and he wants his role and he wants to prove

452
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: he belongs. And the second that Hady gets sent down,

453
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 2: you see him take that deep breath, you see that comfortability.

454
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: He gets three hits on Friday, two RBIs, he hits

455
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: a monster home run Saturday, the game is out of

456
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: the reach. Pistill just showing off his power and a

457
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: hanging slider to the second deck which very rarely see

458
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: home runs up there. I can't remember a met besides

459
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: Cesspa this and Pete ever hitting a ball up there,

460
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: so that's that's relevant that he got one there. But again,

461
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: just moving around a little bit nice Cevnzo was comfortable.

462
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: But back to the game on Friday, because this was

463
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: this felt like for a little bit, the moment of Okay,

464
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: holy shit, we turned the corner. You said, everybody in

465
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: the lineup had a hit. Everyone lineup even had a

466
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: hard hit ball. We were smoking Jordan Montgomery. We fourth

467
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: Jordan Montgomery the third ending of this game, to stop

468
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: throwing singers the pitch he's thrown. Literally his entire career

469
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: is made, the picture that he is. And then Logan

470
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: Allen comes in and we're hit the crap out of

471
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: him as well, over and over and over again, every

472
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: single ball in play smoke, smoke, smoke. But the Diavondbacks

473
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: did a really good thing and letting Logan Allen sop

474
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: up those innings, only give up those two earned runs

475
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: again not saying kept him in the game, but they

476
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: still weren't totally out of it because of the runs

477
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 2: they scored early off Severino, Charni four lets some guys

478
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: on base, and then Regarre because of the big home runs,

479
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: and you're like, this can't this just can't be happening

480
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: again it.

481
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had we've we know what game we're

482
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: having flashbacks to when that was going on, where the

483
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: Mets are up five going into the ninth inning and

484
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: then they end up blowing it. But thank goodness they didn't.

485
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: Severarino looked at and maybe I'm wrong for saying this,

486
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: He wasn't sure, but for him to pitch as well

487
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: as he did was like, gutsy. That's the kind of

488
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: thing that makes you feel good about Severena. Was that

489
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: like he wasn't good, but he also did it didn't

490
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: blow up in his face.

491
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, that's like a syperic victory. We're not really

492
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: I don't why say, oh, it's great, did he him

493
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: blow up in this one? Because they give up those

494
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: runs right off the bat and this might be a

495
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: situation where we do have some sever Reno though, Yeah.

496
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: And that he felt sick. He thought he thought he

497
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: was gonna like throw up. I think before the game

498
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: he said he didn't feel great, was a feeling sick,

499
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: and was eating gummies in the dugout in between innings

500
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: to try and get more energy and feel better. So

501
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: I think that also could be part of the reason,

502
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: because again, it really was just kind of that rough

503
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: first thing for him, and then he did settle.

504
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: It and his philosphy was down across the board up

505
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: to like a mile and a half mile an hour

506
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: across different pitches. But it's just another start for sever

507
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: Reena where it's such a heavy diet of the four

508
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: seemers and the sinkers with the sweeper mixing in, but

509
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: not that many swings and misses. We haven't seen the

510
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: change up as much as I would have hoped to

511
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: at this point in season seen the change up. So

512
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: get him off the hook against latis little bit same

513
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: with the col and he probably does need to find

514
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: a slight adjustment here because when he's throwing ninety five

515
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: ninety four instead of what he throws usually ninety six

516
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 2: to ninety eight, and it's just fastball sinker, fastball sinker

517
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: against the rights and the lefties, you're gonna just get

518
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: hit a little bit more like he was in this one,

519
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 2: So would like to see him adjust back when he

520
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: isn't one hundred percent like he was, especially like he's

521
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: coming out in that first inning, Hefkin's probably the game

522
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: and you're throwing two miles an hours down, like, is

523
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: there any you have any other weapons? Can you make

524
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: that up any other way? And he didn't. He didn't

525
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: do it much. He got it out. He got to

526
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: the sixth inning, the dimback's got some across there and

527
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 2: struggle threatened again, but again ted Neel Nuniya is becoming

528
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: a good reliever in his bullpen and nice clean up man.

529
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: He got out of it and all in all like

530
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: it again to win. But this was a moment where

531
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: the Mets felt like could have changed their fortunes a

532
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: little bit this season and very much did not.

533
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah no again. I talked about having fun and playing

534
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 1: good baseball. He played great baseball to start the game,

535
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: especially offensively, and then they almost blew it. And then

536
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: that kind of carried into like the the oh shit

537
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: of the ninth inning kind of carried into the next day,

538
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: Game three, where the mess just got for lack of

539
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: a better term, like bollywops. They just got absolutely smoked.

540
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: The confusing thing here, Sean and I had ten strikeouts,

541
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: but he gave it five earned, Like that's that's confusing

542
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: to me. How how do you explain that?

543
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: It's very easy to explained that one. It was because

544
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: in the in the third ending of this game, Randall

545
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: Richard was up with two outs and two men on

546
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: and shaum and I walked him on four pitches and

547
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: the next batter was Christian Walker, and Christian Walker at

548
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: the home run. And that was it. That was the

549
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: whole thing. Every single sequence of this game. Besides that moment,

550
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: Manaiyah was good. He was in control. He got to

551
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: one hundred pitches in this game. He got into the

552
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: sixth inning. I think it will have been the fifth

553
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 2: time this year he would have completed the six inning,

554
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: but he winded up not completing the sixth inning. And

555
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: it was good. And then then then Josh Walker came

556
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: in and got crossed. He just kind of had to

557
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 2: clean up the mess. But it's a game from Manaiah

558
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: where he just he had the little, the little two

559
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: men thing working and it was sinkers and sweeper sigures,

560
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: sweeper sigures, weepers, that two seamers, missing so many bats. Recently,

561
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: it's been one of the most effective pitchers in baseball,

562
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: which is a really nice signed for Sean and Iya,

563
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: especially for his trade value. We're gonna see maybe that

564
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: goes the next few weeks here. But it was just

565
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: this one horrible situation where it felt like he might

566
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: have lost focus because it was a four pitch walk

567
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: to Randall Ritchick. I believe it's four pitchwalk. I'll top

568
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: check my work right now, but it's just ye walk.

569
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: It was just it was so obviously what was gonna happen. Also,

570
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: Christian Walker's a fantastic hit there. He crushes lefties, and

571
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: it's just a moment where you have to do anything

572
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 2: you can to make Randall Ritchick be here. Know Randall

573
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: Richick in his career is fantastic against left handed pitching. Yeah,

574
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: it was a four pitchwalk, and I remember a couple

575
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: of pitch especially the fourth one was a high sinker,

576
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: wasn't even close. Same with the second pitch through. So

577
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 2: it's just like he's being extra careful with Randall Gritchick,

578
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, Christian Walker comes in

579
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: and the first pitch of the bat it's a hanging

580
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: sweeper down the middle and it goes into the seats

581
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: and then there's no There was no looking back for

582
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: the Mets in this one.

583
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: No.

584
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: Also just sucks because it was such a nice ceremony

585
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: for Daryll Strawberry. Ye, it was real shame the team

586
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: laid this kind of an egg when they had all

587
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: the old all the old Mets and attendance Darryl and

588
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: his whole family there, like, wonderful job by sn Y

589
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: and the Mets and putting out another great ceremony. It

590
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: was just frustrating to have a very bad game when

591
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: that happens.

592
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: I will say the home run apple being changed to

593
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: the Strawberry was probable that that was really good. Who

594
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: ever thought of that?

595
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so sick. And I thought Daryl's speech was also amazing.

596
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: He he like just talked so much about the mistakes

597
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: he made in his life, a big one being leaving

598
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: the Mets and winding and putting himself back in Los

599
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 2: Angeles where it probably wasn't the best spot for him

600
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: to be at that time in life. And he went

601
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: down and thanked everyone, he said Keith and Nandas was there.

602
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: I think I remember if he said the greatest player,

603
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: the greatest hither that he ever saw. He said, Keith

604
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: taught me how to hit left handed pitching, taught me

605
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 2: how to be a man. He helped me learn to

606
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: be a leader. The one thing that was interesting to me,

607
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: and my dad pointed this out today when I was

608
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: talking to him, is that it seemed like Darryl the

609
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: only guy he didn't profusely thank from that team because

610
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: he went mookie. It was Keith ron Sid but the

611
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 2: Gary Carter of course, Hojo and and Jojo. He said

612
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: the only two Mets teammates to go thirty ever in

613
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: the same season, which is such a sick nugget. But

614
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: wasn't profuse about. Doc didn't really mention anything. And I

615
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: think it's probably a situation where Darryl probably gets a

616
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: little frustrated at this point in his life that he's

617
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: always linked and forever connected to Doc because they came

618
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: up together, both black baseball players, both wound up having

619
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 2: legal and addiction issues over the time towards the end

620
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: of their career, in middle of their career, and both

621
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: had these weird moments on the Yankees Weirdly enough, Darrell

622
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: also strangely did the whole New York triumphant and his

623
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: career playing for the Mets, the Yankees, the Dodgers, and

624
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: the Giants. I think he might be the only player

625
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: who've ever done that. But that was one weird thing

626
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 2: I noticed where I was like, Oh, this is the

627
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 2: one guy seems like he didn't really want to include

628
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: in the speech.

629
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: No, I don't know exactly what the terms of their

630
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: relationship are, but I told and like now that Daryl

631
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: has kind of cleaned himself up a lot, Like he's

632
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: a pastor now, I believe, and he's like very much

633
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: focused on like trying to help improve people's lives and

634
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: like getting past the laws and being involved with God

635
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: and all that. I'm sure one, like you said, being

636
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: associated with Doc relatively and like the downfalls of the

637
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: two players, probably not a great feeling. And then two,

638
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: just the idea that Doc is we know has had

639
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: issues in the past recently, not like in the last

640
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: like six months or anything like that, but in the

641
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: last five ten years has struggled with the addiction, has

642
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: struggled with issues legally. I'm sure it's just one of

643
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: those things where it's a it's a weird feeling because

644
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: you almost you almost know that you were a part

645
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: of that too, because I mean they were a part

646
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: of it in a way now again, But then it's

647
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: also the idea that, like, for some reason, now I'm

648
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: linked to this person perfectly.

649
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: Even the fact that their numbers were being retired in

650
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: the same announcement in the same season a month and

651
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 2: a half. A part is just like, Okay, so this

652
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: is you know, this is this is my this is

653
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 2: my blood brother. It's probably just documentary.

654
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: Point of life where he's like, I'd like to forget

655
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: about that, Like, and if I keep talking about Doc,

656
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep being reminded about how much of

657
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: a ship had I used to be kind of thing.

658
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 2: And how awful was to see even even doc fall

659
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 2: part I'm sure someone who he was. Again we don't

660
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: know how close they actually were, but they're always associated

661
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: in this same way, and again sucks the team. The

662
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: team isn't in that ceremony. How he rose amazing, Amazing

663
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: is always on the mic Master of ceremonies. But question

664
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: for you, Okay, I got into some conversations with people

665
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 2: on Twitter after this, but We've had this barrage of

666
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: Mets number retirements and all this stuff about Mets history

667
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: since Steve Cohen took over, and now this kind of

668
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: feels like the end of the obvious ones. Yeah, who's

669
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: the next Met to get their number retired?

670
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's gotta be David Wright, Like, I don't

671
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: think there's any other choice, right, because do you have

672
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: somebody with that?

673
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: I said that too, But a lot of people were

674
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: like hardcore clamoring for Gary Carter on Twitter, which I

675
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: think is just he I don't know, I don't know.

676
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: I don't know if people even care about these conversations.

677
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: But it's like Darryl has Mets record. He was a

678
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: Met for eight years. Doc was a Met for ten years,

679
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: had Mets records. I know he played fifte years in

680
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: the Xpos and five on the Mets. Like it just

681
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: you can't really retire his number for five years with

682
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: the team. I guess how many keep played. Probably about

683
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 2: the same.

684
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: But probably I'll look at Keith real quick. This is

685
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: probably us not understanding it because we weren't around during

686
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: the eighties, Like we just simply weren't born't and we

687
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: don't understand. Maybe what it was like to have Gary

688
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: Carter be a part of the Mets. Keith was seven

689
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: years of the Mets ten with the Cardinals, but Gary

690
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: also was a worst player with the Mets statistically than

691
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: he was ever with the expos where Keith like kind

692
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: of just kept on par with where he was with

693
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Uh, it's gotta be David Wright. The only

694
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: thing is, Mike, You're gonna get into that weird scenario

695
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: where I think David Wright isn't ready to be back yet,

696
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Like I think it's still way too fresh and he

697
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: should be like I should be in my final season,

698
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: I should be hanging it up right about now kind

699
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: of thing. Whereas, like Gary Carter, obviously you can you

700
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: retire that number at any time if you want to

701
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: do so. They've met seem like they probably want to

702
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: retire a number a year for the next couple of years.

703
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: It looks like at least seems to be Steve Cohen's plan.

704
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: But there's not many. I mean, like, okay, let's just

705
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: say those are the next two? Who is the is

706
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: there one after that? Like do you retire Johan? No one?

707
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: Who is one?

708
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: And I don't think we're ready for the conversation yet

709
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: but five years away? No, okay, who is it? It's

710
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 2: Jacob de groum Oh yeah, but I mean another one.

711
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: It's too We're too close, We're too soon, We're still

712
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: too winning. I don't think we've I think that a

713
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 2: lot of Mets fans still have for some reason, some

714
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 2: mill will towards Dubrom despite I love him to death,

715
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: still always will. Yeah, but it's just I think there's

716
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: still weird emotions for him having left this still and

717
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: again he only made two hundred starts as a Met,

718
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 2: were Doc even made three hundred, Yeah he so Gron

719
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 2: was better, of course, but all time war for the Mets,

720
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: it's Tom sever David Wright, dot Good, and Jacob d

721
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: Grom is number four.

722
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jacob de Grom should get his number retired

723
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: at some point. So this is gonna be. This is

724
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: gonna get some people really mad. Carlos Beltrum, you can't.

725
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: If he wins that way series, then yes, because no

726
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: way otherwise you're just like retiring, just like a good

727
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: player for six years. That's what I'm saying.

728
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: Like these guys, none of these numbers are retired if

729
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: the Mets don't win work. You have to honor teams

730
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: that achieved great success. Like that's kind of the stopper,

731
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: and that was what sucks about d Grom. I still

732
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: think he was so good. Guy's number up and right,

733
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 2: of course, but I just think when he's ready, he's

734
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: talking about wanting his girls to be a little bit

735
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: older so they can remember the ceremony and appreciate it.

736
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 2: So maybe they'll wait like five or six years for that.

737
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: But oh, last one to the Met's retire Jose Ray

738
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: is his number? Fuck no no, I mean he's like,

739
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they will. I don't think they should.

740
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: But there's an argument at least to be had for

741
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: jose Getz's number to be retired.

742
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: If Jose Ray if to twenty six team, like, there's

743
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: gonna is gonna make my This is gonna make me.

744
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna hurt so bad to say his words out loud.

745
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: This is gonna take every single ten year old James

746
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 2: is about to die.

747
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: Do it.

748
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: If the Mets win that World Series in two thousand

749
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: and six, they all get their numbers retired. He did it.

750
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: Bel Trump probably gets his retired. Reyes gets his retired, right,

751
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: of course gets his retired, but they just didn't. Like,

752
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: if the team wins, they do again. If the Mets

753
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: win in two thousand, Franco probably gets his retired. Oh yeah, no,

754
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: he was. He doesn't even close it anymore. But again,

755
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: like maybe if they win ninety eight or something, like,

756
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: you have to have this tremendous achievement to get this

757
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 2: tremendous accolade with it. And as the Mets keep not

758
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: winning World Series, like why we can only read Daniel Murphy.

759
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: Fuck no, like we have to retire guy's numbers that

760
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: are worthy of retirement. I even think that Darryl and

761
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: Doc were kind of on the end. If you look

762
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: at the types of players the other teams retire their numbers,

763
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 2: Like I don't think that all thirty teams are retiring

764
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: numbers with these kind of stats and accolades and historical significance.

765
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: But thirty team there are losers like the Mets either.

766
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm saying that I think they become more

767
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: historically significant because they won half of the championships of

768
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: this team and they were still It's crazy to say

769
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: it because of how bad the Mets are. There's two

770
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: of the best homegrown players they ever did develop despite

771
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: their struggles, and despite leaving, they still statistically speaking, you

772
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: can't get those guys out of the Mess record books.

773
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: So that's why they get them, and they're revered by fans.

774
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: But the Mess needs something else good to happen to

775
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: be worth retiring other guys numbers.

776
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: Fair enough, I'm with you. I'm with you. You guys can

777
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: less know in the common section or on Twitter or whatever.

778
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: If you think any other Mets players should get their

779
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: number retired, you can let us know. It be a

780
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: fun little thing to do. We talked about Game four already.

781
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: Not really much else to go over there, just a

782
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a disappointing way to lose the season,

783
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: the series, especially because it was preventable by not giving

784
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: him the matchup he was hoping for. Man, I really

785
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: don't get it. The more and more think about it

786
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: makes no sense, especially I just get it because was

787
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: up next, Like that's it. I guess, I guess, But

788
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Carroll's been awful so bad let him put it on.

789
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: It can't plan for Corn mcrolly. Got a plan for

790
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: Kital Martek twelve more runs and he's the best hitter

791
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: in the team. But again, I think It's just it

792
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: came down to the fact that they just they just

793
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: kind of ran out of relievers and they weren't gonna

794
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: let Drew Smith's first appearance back be in the situation.

795
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: But then why not make his first appearance back being

796
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: the sixth inning? I thought, I thought this was a

797
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: game that kind of got away from Mendoza sadly.

798
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: Do we do we have any media marvels here before

799
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: we get going into the series preview up next?

800
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: I have fall a few I want to just do

801
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: quickly because we gotta get out of here quickly. There

802
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: was a video that went viral of Harrison Baylor earlier

803
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: this week when they were like, you're Mount Rushmore of

804
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: New York athletes, and he didn't have any teammates on

805
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: there or anyone who even played other sports. He just

806
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: went Yankees, which just crazy, a little bit annoy and

807
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: he also put Anthony Volpi on there, which was insane.

808
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 2: I just don't think understod the question because I think

809
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: he said only three names.

810
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: He did, Yeah, he did, Malt Rushmore's for sure four.

811
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: I know this is like the hot question we asked

812
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: Lindor that Lindor's like, I don't want it. I never

813
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: wanted to be asked this question. I hate this.

814
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: It's like, well, DoD Baty seemed really happy to answer

815
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: this question and just went right down the line with

816
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: fucking Yankees. So I was that kind of pissed me off.

817
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: You couldn't You couldn't purpose the gLing door in there, dude,

818
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 2: you couldn't do Jalen Brunston even to give us, give

819
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: us a break, could say, Walt Frasier, just throw just

820
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: throw in someone that's not a New York Yankee. Yeah.

821
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: So that's that. And then just another media Marvel Mark

822
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: and I have for some reason, we're just talking about

823
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: Peter Gammons a lot on Saturday with some friends watching

824
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: the Ranger season and in horrific fashion. But Peter Gammons,

825
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: Everyone should go get Peter Gams a shout on Twitter,

826
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 2: because Peter Gammons is out here grinding out tweets for

827
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: ten to twenty five likes, and it's pretty good information.

828
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: He's just really old, doesn't know how to like space

829
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: things to make them like do well on Twitter. But

830
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 2: he had a great nugget on May twenty seven at

831
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: six oh one in the morning, which is that's probably

832
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: like after his first cup of coffee, which is funny.

833
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: But Memorial Days historic first turn in season races with

834
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: seventeen of the thirty teams up in per game attendance.

835
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: The best are the Diamondbacks, which is funny because the

836
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: diamonback is an interesting thing. Is off season where they

837
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 2: basically just told people, you can come to every game

838
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: for me up for nothing. What three dollars four dollars

839
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: a ticket. You could buy a full season pass, which

840
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: is cool and it's working. They have they have nine

841
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: They've already added ninety five hundred fans this season, the

842
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 2: Giants fifty one hundred, and the Reds seventy five hundred.

843
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: And then the team who has lost the most attendance

844
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: this year. I'm sure you guys could guess it, because

845
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: why else he listened to the show? It is the Mets.

846
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: Yep it can you blame them? I mean fates, we.

847
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: I mean we're going less? Yeah, makes sense.

848
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: I did not go to a single game this home stand.

849
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: That is the first time in May to probably three years,

850
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: that I haven't made it to one game during a homestand.

851
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: For me, it was the first time since the pandemic. Yes,

852
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: New York.

853
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: I was just trying. I think since COVID this is

854
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: the first time I have not made it to a

855
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: home stand. And I honestly had a great week. I

856
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: really didn't mess that all good.

857
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was amazing. And even the Saturday day,

858
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: like my dad and I were talking about, like, let's

859
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: go Darrel, Like Daryl was my dad's like fair player

860
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: growing up. He really wanted to do it. And even

861
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: that morning they were like twenty five dollars tickets on

862
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: subhub and see and seat geek and we were still

863
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: just like I ended this.

864
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: The seventh line was actually real express consider it more.

865
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: But the fact that we have to hit those like

866
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: seven stops after Woodside or whatever it is. I can't

867
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: sit on that training for five more stops than I

868
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: normally do.

869
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: No painful, but yeah, light medium more of this week again,

870
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 2: mark as a flight in a few hours from JFK,

871
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: So we got to move the show along. So we're

872
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: gonna give you guys a preview of the National Series

873
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: right now. And the Nationals are coming into town sadly

874
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: playing some pretty pretty decent ball they have been. I

875
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 2: think one of the this is gonna be weird to say,

876
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: but weirdly one of the field good stories in baseball

877
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 2: this year, and it's weird that we haven't played their

878
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: division rival until June. It's so stupid, this god forsake

879
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: and schedule that I just hate so much. I hate

880
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: so damn much. Every single t I'm talking about, wuch

881
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: you hate it. But the Nationals actually lost to Typho.

882
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: I thought they won that game on Saturday, so I

883
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 2: was n about not really playing great ball. But they

884
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: won their series finale against the Guardians on Sunday. They

885
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: just took three or four from the Braves and won

886
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: a series against the Mariners earlier this week and late

887
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: last week. So again, team playing decent ball and we're

888
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: gonna get some of their best shots in this series.

889
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 2: On Monday night, we're going to face Mackenzie go or

890
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: who I don't I know. We don't have much time

891
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: left in the show. Mark like, I could talk about

892
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Gore for the next eiry five minutes and want

893
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: to just turn your camera microphone off and I'll just.

894
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: Talk about it. You can just add that in when

895
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: you're editing. You can You've added you talking about Mackenzie

896
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: Gore's if I'm not there now.

897
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 2: McKenzie grows amazing and him against Tyler McGill Monday six

898
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 2: forty five, Tuesday six forty five, Trevor Williams versus David Peterson,

899
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: and yes, that's a big as off. And then Wednesday

900
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: that's like two guys look in the mayor Wednesday, Patrick

901
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: Corbyn versus we Severio and not saying anything about that.

902
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: But this Nationals team, a team that last year allowed

903
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: the most warm runs in baseball, have been acceptable for

904
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: the rotation this year, mostly on the back of mackenzie.

905
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 2: Gore finally is sending to the picture people at Hope

906
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: and waited him to be for a long time as

907
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 2: a left handed pitcher. For a left handed pitcher, I

908
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: think he has the best fastball in baseball. It's just

909
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: a bullet. He throws it so hard since like ninety

910
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: seven nine eight miles. Nowur he's finally sometimes throwing it

911
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: high in the zone, which I knowalls seem like they

912
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 2: don't want him to do, but it also seems like

913
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: he's just like, I have to do this because he

914
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: gets lots of swings and misses there and just a

915
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: great slider and curveball. He throws underneath, throws low. We'll

916
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: get tons of swings and misses. He's fantastic. Trevor Williams

917
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: is has also been exceptional this year for some reason.

918
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how. I do not know why, but

919
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: he has. I want to find the actual era because

920
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. Where is it. It's a two two two

921
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: two era and uh I think one to five in May.

922
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: But it's been sensational.

923
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: So Trevor Williams trade, we know that, we know he

924
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: traded for Trevor Williams. Don't know who the other guy was.

925
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: On the offensive side of things. C J. Abrams has

926
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: cooled off a bit, but he's still a very good

927
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: baseball player. Luis Garcine as well has cooled off a bit,

928
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: and he's a very good baseball player, but he's he's

929
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: cooled off in the last like two weeks or so,

930
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: like the.

931
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: Whole month of May. Luis Garcia came back to life.

932
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 2: But Abram's injured. Actually Abrams, oh, he have heard I

933
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 2: L not I L He Michael on the il before

934
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 2: Monday because he didn't play Saturday. There Sunday he hurt

935
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: his shoulder and a weird diving attempt on Friday night,

936
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 2: and it was a really fun play in the Guardians game.

937
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: The Guardians and Nationals play the game where like, let's

938
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: see how fast each of these teams can run. Two

939
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 2: teams will love to steal basis about the Nationals the

940
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 2: second with that, But it was like a bang bang

941
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: play with Tyler Freemant home after Abrams ground doven a

942
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: ground ball hit it like a full away from him

943
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: and then whoever was running think it might have been

944
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: Quan I remember it was running. The Guardians are a

945
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 2: fun team. Got gotten the second base underneath the throw.

946
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: But this Nationals team loves to run. They love to run.

947
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: I'm lower right now. I think they're either first or

948
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 2: second league and stolen bases just behind the Elie de

949
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: la Cruz led Reds. But they are going to push

950
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 2: the Mets this week. Happy that there's no more on

951
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 2: mare Neva's because they're just gonna go go, go, go, go, go,

952
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 2: go go go on these guys.

953
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got some of the fastest players in league.

954
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: Jacob Young sneaky seventeen stolen bases this year as their

955
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: center fielder.

956
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 2: Nationals actually are a head of the Reds where Ellie

957
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: already has thirty five steals, and the national stills a team,

958
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 2: have more steals than Lincoln Thomas has fifteen steals this

959
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 2: year and eight games. What he missed them? Every time

960
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 2: he gets on basic steels, He's not really hitting right.

961
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: Noue Winker has ten steals.

962
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: Jesse Winker had five steals this week.

963
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,960

Speaker 2: this is a nice thing. And Nationals also, for the

971
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 2: first time, have a legitimate duo in the back of

972
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: their bullpen that can shut you down any given a

973
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: Hunter Harvey's incredibles to see the man Kyle Fingen's having

974
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,000
