Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to a special episode of the

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: Mess Up Podcast. This is insane, probably one of the

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: weirdest episodes we have ever done and we'll ever do.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: We're currently in the desert out in Arizona. We flew

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: out for the world series between the Dimebacks and the Rangers.

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: Gonna talk to you guys about that, of course, talk

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 2: to you about any of the stuff going on in

Speaker 2: the Mets world as well. James, I believe you have

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: our coordinates.

Speaker 3: I do have our coordinates.

00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: You guys want to see where we are.

13
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 3: As Mark said live from the desert, you might be

14
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: able to hear the birds chirping in the background. You

15
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 3: almost hit an elk away here, cactus right behind us,

16
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 3: and we are at thirty three dot seven oh one

17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 3: two six three two and negative eleven eight five one

Speaker 3: two six three five.

19
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Mets of the podcast in the desert.

00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: having a good time. Shout to our friend Dalton who's

22
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: letting us stay with him. Dalton, it really makes the

23
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: trip a lot easier to make.

24
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: So much and it's funny because Dalton's a friend of

25
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: mine from a job I used to have that neither

26
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: of us have that job anymore. And then I just

27
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: introduced him to Mark randomly a few times and he

28
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: come out to the city for Mets games and we

29
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: had such a fun time that Mark was able to

30
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: come here last week without me, and now we're back

31
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: here together. Mark two out of two weeks in the desert.

32
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're back.

33
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: I've been spending more time in Arizona that have in

34
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: New York, and I've been having a blast. And honestly,

35
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: last night, your first ever World Series game ever, Tell

36
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: me about your experience, because I've been to. I went

37
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: to twenty fifteen when the Mets were there, So what

38
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: did you think.

39
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: I was sad to miss twenty fifteen just because I

40
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: was living on how the time, going to school, and

41
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: I wound up coming home trying to see if we

42
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: could get a ticket. It happened to also be my

43
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: mom's birthday. It's a funny story I think I've told

44
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: in this podcast before. But the day the Mets won

45
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: I believe that was Game three, the Syndergard game, the

46
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: first game they won the World Series. That was a

47
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: Friday night, Friday night in college Halloween. I had booked

48
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: a flight stupidly the next morning, eight o'clock in the

49
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: morning to go back New Jersey. Surprised me on for

50
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: a birthday, which is November third. Shout out my mom.

51
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,200

54
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: Granderson I think darnoul. Also by the big hit late

55
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: night game. It made me and my one friend shout

56
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: out Ryan, my Mets friend. It's just completely feral, like

57
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: we were at the Halloween party, just wearing mess Jersey's,

58
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: not even mingling, not talking to anybody, played the front

59
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: of TV watching the game, and we went out crazy.

60
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: One of the bars in Columbus had someone working there

61
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: who was from Queen's. Really they saw our Mets stuff.

62
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: They were like, you guys all night for free. We

63
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: were like really, like yeah, those Columbia right, I mean,

64
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: when you're nineteen, it's still matter drink for drinks and

65
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: free drink. And then I just the only one of

66
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: the two flights I've ever missed in my life completely

67
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: slept through it. Got the next one stand by thankfully

68
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: shout out to Columbus Airport, but didn't wind up getting

69
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: to the World Series that weekend. So this was my

70
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: first ever World Series and incredible environment, like the Diamondbacks fans.

71
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: There's been a lot made about this World Series in

72
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: terms of a lower viewership or like, you know, these

73
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 3: like kind of fan bases that people don't really think

74
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: about when they think of like classic baseball franchises, But

75
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks faithful really showed up. We saw we met

76
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: someone before the game with a straight up Diamondbacks tattoo. Yeah,

77
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: a lot of people. One of the coolest things about

78
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: being this World Series is how many iterations of Diamondbacks

79
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: teams have been recent years, and how many crazy jerseys

80
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: we saw at the game.

81
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been wanting to do threadheads, but obviously, like

82
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: we're we're a Mets account, feels weird to maybe do

83
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: Arizona Diamondback stuff there.

84
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: But we saw like a Stephen Drew jersey, Brandon Webb.

85
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: I wore an out of meeting Jersey from Tall d.

86
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: Yes side out of meeting Jersey, and I had my

87
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: AJ Pollock jersey on which I've just been rocking for

88
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: every single game out here. Yeah, I mean comparing it

89
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: to what I saw in twenty fifteen with the Mets,

90
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: obviously like a little more nervous, a little more into

91
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: the game, a little more locked in. But it's it's

92
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: nice to be in an environment like that this late

93
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: in the season. Actually, yeah, passionate, a lot of passionate

94
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: fans out there. It's a little bit commer it's a

95
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: little bit calmer for sure. Like it is not New

96
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: York fans. That's that's never gonna be the case. We

97
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: just have a car driving by. They're probably what are

98
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: these guys doing right now outside of my home with microphones?

99
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: This is Oh you think it's their home?

100
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: This is their home.

101
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a conversation I think we might

102
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: be having here shortly. But no, he's driving. Oh nice dog,

103
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: how are you? It's very nice dog. Back to the episode, I.

104
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: Think they were just turning around there. That's a cute dog.

105
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: That's doo poodle. I think that poodle.

106
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: But anyway, back to where I was going with the

107
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: World series, it's interesting to see it from the fans

108
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: perspective of we have no dog in the race here,

109
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: we have no vesting interest outside of like we want

110
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: to see our friend Dalton be happy because he's a

111
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: big Diamondbacks fan.

112
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: But the fans have showed up.

113
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: And one thing that they did last night that was

114
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: really cool was Christian Walker has been struggling mightily, and

115
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: they took a little page out the Philadelphia Phillies playbook

116
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: which hit the Caps tipped the cap. One of the

117
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: few times I'll ever say anything nice about the city

118
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: of Philly or their fan base, but they give Christian

119
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Walker a standing ovation because he's been struggling, he's been pressing,

120
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: and he immediately answered with a double the.

121
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: First pitch, first past, to the standing ovation and the

122
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: whole crowd chanting his name.

123
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: And I think this is something that not only like

124
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: fans of the Mets can learn, fans of baseball can

125
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: learn everywhere, Like these guys are humans, Like sometimes when

126
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: you're struggling, you just need a little of encouragement to

127
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: get you back on the horse.

128
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: And we say it all the time too, that baseball

129
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: is such a mental game. And even a guy like

130
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: Tommy fam who again he was struggling a little bits

131
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: broken out of in a big way recently. Shout out

132
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: Tommy fan He's got the most hits in the World

133
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Series right now, that's unbelievable. But he also has got

134
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: huge ovations from this crowd. It's also I feel like

135
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: there's something and now might catch on across baseball.

136
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I think so, which is.

137
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: Gonna be a really cool thing that we can know

138
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: this next year. Looking around teams in the league and like,

139
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: who kind of goes out of their way the cheer

140
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: on the player struggling. And our friend Dalton told us

141
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: before the game, He's like, hey, just here, you guys know,

142
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 3: Christian Walker's first that bat. We're giving a standing ovation.

143
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: Like I don't know if it was a social media thing.

144
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if the writers are talking about it

145
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: or I don't know if it just got around from

146
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: word of mouth, but the entire ballpark gave Christian Walker

147
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: a standing ovation and he cashed.

148
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: In something I imploris Mets fans to do next year.

149
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: Players struggling, Hey, maybe we don't boom, maybe we cheer,

150
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 2: and maybe maybe it helps them. I mean, you see

151
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: what a positive environment can do for a guy like

152
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: Trey Turner. You see what it's done now for Christian Walker.

153
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: All stuff to keep in mind is the wind is

154
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: howling here. It's the wind was so calm while we

155
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: were setting up. As soon as we start this what

156
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: happens when we do an outdoor podcast and we are

157
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: literally in the mountains right now.

158
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: Of Scottsdale, North Scottsdale.

159
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: We gave you the location you can find it, but yeah,

160
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: I mean it also being there, I'm like, I really

161
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: I really want a world series so badly.

162
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: I mean I said it to you walking in where

163
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: it was like trying to cover the side of the

164
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: microphones for the wind is trying to hit it right now. Yeah,

165
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: but pro podcast pro podcasting. I had that moment, like

166
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: the glass doors moment where like Max Scherzer's pitching like

167
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: Tommy Fans hitting fifth, and I looked at you, I

168
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 3: was like, this is weird being here without emotion. Yeah,

169
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: like there's so emotion just because like you could feel

170
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: that as a baseball fan, like being in the scene.

171
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: And we have also gotten kind of mixed reviews from time.

172
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: The Diamondbacks faithful by us being here. Yeah, Like we

173
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: went out last night after the game and then we

174
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: show their jersey IDs and they were like jersey Diamonbacks

175
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: fans were like, oh no, we're mess fans are here visiting,

176
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: cheering on. The guy was like come on. I was like,

177
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: what do you mean?

178
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: Come on?

179
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: But then also like there are some Diamondbacks fans, We're like, yeah,

180
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: happy to have you here. Let's go, let's win it.

181
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: But it is that feeling of like like I've only

182
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: been to one natural playoff game in my life last year,

183
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: the Wildcard Series, which is now considered the playoffs, but like,

184
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: I've been to one like real five or seven game

185
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: series playoff game in my life, and it was Game

186
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 3: two in two thousand and six where what happened The

187
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: game was rained down a Friday night and then also tragically,

188
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: I was night that Corey Lygle perish in a plane accident,

189
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: and I came again the next day with my dad,

190
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 3: my cousin and my uncle and so Tagucci. The game

191
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: winning home run was that off Oliver Prez. It was

192
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: either Off Perez or Hilmant.

193
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: Remember, now we give up the Home Running Game six.

194
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: I know, I know he gave the Home Running Games six.

195
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: I don't think he have the Home Running Games. No,

196
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: he gave the Home Running Game six, but no seven,

197
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: not six seven seven seven seven, Yeah, it's all game

198
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: jumble ahead. But so this is the first time I

199
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: ever even been to a playoff game outside of that. Yeah,

200
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: so it's just it's just weird, like to have this

201
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: environment and not be the Mets.

202
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: I've now been to.

203
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: Oh, I've been to three World Series now because I

204
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: also went to the COVID World Series at the Rangers Stadium,

205
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: which is also weird now because now they're in the

206
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: World Series a few years later. But yeah, the I mean,

207
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: it's been a lot of fun. I'll also just Tripp

208
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: talk about the series. It's been a phenomenal series. Really

209
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: good baseball, really good baseball. Like, if you're a baseball fan,

210
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: you should be tuning into this. We told you about this.

211
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: Don't listen to the writers, don't listen to everyone saying

212
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: this one's boring. Nobody cares low viewership.

213
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: She sure. While the low viewership thing is a true statement.

214
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: Without a doubt, it also just doesn't matter really mad

215
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: at the end of the day. Like I guess it

216
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: matters in like a more like macro context, where like

217
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: we want to grow the game. We want as many

218
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: people watching the World Series as possible. But I don't know,

219
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: if you're a baseball fan, you're not watching this World Series.

220
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: You're genuinely missing out because Friday Night, Game one in

221
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: the series was East Classic between Corey seekers home run,

222
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: extra innings, Miguel Castro, who I poke some fun out

223
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: on TWI yeah, a couple of former meds and giving

224
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: up the home run out of the least Garcia and

225
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: then the Diamondbacks just coming right back at them behind

226
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: behind Merril Kelly a dominant pitching performance. First, I think

227
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: World Series pitcher are complete seven innings. I believe I

228
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: saw tweetsince twenty nineteen, which is a crazy thing to

229
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: think about. And then just another game right here where

230
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: there was like a couple of little moves that happened

231
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: in Game three on Monday night where the entire swing

232
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: of basically the series changed because now the Rangers have

233
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: a lead, whereas Christian Walker hits had double like you

234
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: talked about, then Tommy fam had a nice single to

235
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: drive him in by the least. Garcia is one of

236
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: the best arms in all baseball and the best athletes

237
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: in the planet. To use the term for that, you

238
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: use a lot, yes, and the receipt a home play

239
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: where Christian Walker was getting waived in home and then

240
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: he put his head down to really get that extra

241
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: juice in the run, but then he got held up,

242
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: he didn't see the sign, and he got thrown out

243
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 3: by a foot and a half, which it took a

244
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: perfect throw. We kind of disagreed on whether Nic should send.

245
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: I don't think you should send a guy home. I

246
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: thought in the second ending of a World Series game,

247
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: with nobody out and your lineup still coming up behind him, I.

248
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: Thought you should have. I thought it was a good

249
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: aggressive play.

250
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: I think it's the World Series you had Max schuers

251
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: are on the mound, who we know gets rattled kind

252
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: of easily in these games. A little bit here, and

253
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. I like this that it literally took

254
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: a perfect play. Yeah, and the Rangers executed the perf play.

255
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: That's just straight up good baseball. That's what I Theoretically,

256
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: you're not wrong, no, Yeah, but I think like vibes wise,

257
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: I like the vibe of just like go home, we're

258
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: trying to score. They score that run. That does change

259
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: the whole game too, for sure. And also that's a

260
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: game changing play no matter what. Yeah, if second and

261
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: there nobody out and you put the ball in play.

262
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: They also again changed the game no matter what could yeah,

263
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: and again a guy like Max Schuers who didn't straight

264
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 2: I think he struck only one guy out the whole game,

265
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: so I'll just put the ball in play. I don't

266
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: think the Rangers have brought their infield in that position,

267
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: but would have like to see that because there was

268
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: a lot of chets. There's been great mataging this series.

269
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: Rispochi's been doing great.

270
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: He had a great time where he went out and

271
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: talked to the umpires because there was a play I

272
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: believe it was in the eighth inning, yes, where there

273
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: was a fly ball hit that Alec Thomas made an

274
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: unbelievable catch up. It really got the Diamondbacks back in

275
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: the game because momentum really swung away as the Rangers

276
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: kind of kept and we'll talk about the Max Schuers

277
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: of John Gray in a second, but they all momentum.

278
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: Alec Thomas makes a great catch and they re upped

279
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 3: base to see if he would have missed the throw,

280
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 3: and then there was a pickoff made because who was

281
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: on first base? Evan Carr's on first base, who can't

282
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: steal a bag? And they he threw who was pitching,

283
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: it was for us.

284
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: For us.

285
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: Luirius was pitching, threw a second base because they thought

286
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: that Carter didn't retouch second base on the great catch.

287
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: Then they reviewed it determined that he didn't cross the

288
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: threshold of the second base and make the move to third,

289
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: but then he already picked him off at first. So

290
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: the Brice Boch was like, is that two? Engagement?

291
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: Is that too?

292
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: This engagement is three? Like what what's the deal? There?

293
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Good good stuff, good baseball all around.

294
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: I mean, just again, like as a Mets fan, I

295
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: can't stress enough, Like I gotta taste some Mets World

296
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: Series in twenty fifteen. Being there, I saw them win

297
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: a game. I saw that David Wright one saw them

298
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 2: lose the series. I saw the royal celebraty on the

299
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: field like and coming back and seeing now with a

300
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: significant fan base here because the COVID World Series, of course,

301
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: was limited, I missed World Series baseball.

302
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: I missed it being there.

303
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: I wanted so badly for the Mets, and I hope

304
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: whatever we do this offseason, David Stern's big plan is

305
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: she could just get us there, man, get us there.

306
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: And we did feel that in the ballpark last year

307
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: during that during the Padre series, like that game too,

308
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: was one of the most fun baseball environments've ever had

309
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 3: in my entire life. It'll take it'll take more playoff

310
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 3: baseball to match that and exceed that. But just again

311
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: being here and the crowd was great. We had a great,

312
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: great strategic way to get our tickets. We hung out,

313
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: oh right next to the stadium until twenty minutes before

314
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: they threw the first pitch, and we're just watching them

315
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: drop refresh, watch them drop refresh, game plan, watch them

316
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: drop refresh. It was fun. That was a rushing end

317
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: up itself.

318
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: I just I can't wait for City Field to eventually

319
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: get that kind of atmosphere around the stadium where like

320
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: there's just bars and restaurants.

321
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: I know, there's a couple right now.

322
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: You have the K Corner which you can go hang

323
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: out in, and you have ebbs, but there's just like

324
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: there's like a congregation of just so many people all

325
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: hanging out, all having a good time, all Diamondbacks fans

326
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: for the most part, where you can just sit and

327
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: relax and then literally two minutes before the game you

328
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: can walk right in and go to your seat.

329
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: Did meet a couple of Rangers fans, and one Rangers

330
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: fan had a great point about the way the series

331
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: has gone so far. He just seemed like a real

332
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: baseball guy. He was ready to fly back to Dallas

333
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: the next morning. He's probably back in Dallas right now

334
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: when we're even recording this. Let alone, you guys are

335
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: listening to this. But he was like, yeah, you know,

336
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: we're like we're the power team and they're the small

337
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: ball team. Of the way both these teams play, especially

338
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: the Diyingbacks, and then they win the game nine to

339
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 3: one on Saturday, where then you think that's the game

340
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: that we should have won. And then a game like

341
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 3: tonight where it's pitching a defense, we find a way

342
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: to win that game. We think that's the game style

343
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: that they should win. So I really think it's gonna

344
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: go seven. I was like, it was a really good point.

345
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: I like hearing you say that.

346
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, gigs to the Rangers as always,

347
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: always throw gg's out there. It's it's been nice, it's

348
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: been fun. And obviously the weather out here, you can't

349
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: beat it.

350
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: No, I mean podcasting eighty five degrees in sunny right

351
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: now with a slight breeze and a cul de sac

352
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: and a could a sack. Yeah, shout out Dalton finding

353
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: a spot for us. How do you know this butt? Well,

354
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: he told us about a game that high schooler.

355
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: It's called hostage, which sounds like a crazy game where

356
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: you drop your friend in the desert and see if they.

357
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: Can find their way out, figure figure if.

358
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: They can get their friends to come find them at

359
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: their location.

360
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 3: Sounds more like some really awful activity. You would not

361
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: do it for your friends.

362
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: So that's a desert. That's desert people.

363
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, desert people. He's like, oh, we're scared about snakes, Like,

364
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: oh my god.

365
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, we literally almost crushed an elker

366
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: a deer because he was looking at palm trees.

367
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: I was dying to see a rattlesnake during this this recording.

368
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: But I don't think we're gonna get it. You know,

369
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: you say you're dying for it. I'm well, ryle snakes.

370
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: Once they start rattling, you just gotta move, don't get

371
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: rid of them.

372
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be a fun edit though. That would

373
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: be a good TikTok.

374
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: Some of you guys from last season, you remember the bat.

375
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: That was that was also really fun, got out the

376
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: bat we miss you bat, we missed that back and

377
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: then to talk about the Mets world. I mean, I

378
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: know there's like a big rumor you guys wants to

379
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 2: talk about. You saw probably some of the news that

380
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: ended up coming out today about what's going on with

381
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 2: the Mets.

382
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Pen Murphy. Yes, just picked up Pen Murphy.

383
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: Now, the Mets have showed serious interest in the waiver

384
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 3: reliever market so far as off season. Picked up Pen Murphy,

385
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: someone who I like, he's a getting some flag for

386
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: a tweeting about him right now. Yes, side armor. He

387
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: has an amazing slide better know as a sweeper, well

388
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 3: well more than a league average horizontal breaking slides right

389
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: across his own he throws eighty eight. But he's also

390
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: a side armor. Yeah, and in his career a the

391
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: innings he has I think in RRA in the twos

392
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: a whip under one, a twenty percent strike out rate.

393
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 3: What are you gonna what's better than that? Five years

394
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: of team control, and he got UCL surgery this summer,

395
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: so he's probably gonna miss at least half of the

396
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: season this year, if not more of it, depending how

397
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: recovery goes. But he's coming on sixty day, il so

398
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 3: doesn't need a forty man roster spot just yet. It's

399
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: kind of just a free pitcher. And this is the

400
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: kind of thing that happens when, sadly, when you end

401
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: so far down the regular season standings, you're able to

402
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: be a little bit more aggressive in these waiver claims.

403
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the move. I like the move.

404
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: I mean we've talked about it before on the podcast

405
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: about how we want different locations, different arm slots for guys.

406
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: It gives us a different armslot for sure. Yeah. Really

407
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: good pitch.

408
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: One, really good pitch and he has twenty percent s track.

409
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: I ran a whip under one and eighty career innings.

410
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no peed Murphy, solid pick up there.

411
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll start to see more and more moves

412
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: being made as the season goes on. But of course,

413
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: the World Series has happened right now. There's not gonna

414
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: be anything big going on until after the World Series

415
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: most likely. That's just what it kind of seems like. Yeah,

416
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, I mean excited to be out here

417
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: in Arizona, beautiful weather. I want to give you guys

418
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: a quick little mini episode while we were out here

419
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: on location we were tasked with finding a cactus be

420
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: outside somewhere and we got one. I think we did

421
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: a good job for you guys. So anything else to

422
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: talk about here, James? Or is it time to wrap

423
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: it up?

424
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: And not really?

425
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: Cars are swirling. I think that we're getting things are

426
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: getting suspicious. We'd have to stop probably soon.
