1
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: What Is Up?

2
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets

3
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: Stuff Podcast down the Foul Territory Network, going over the

4
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 2: disappointing Philadelphia Philly series. James had bs on the g

5
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: also known as Boots on the Ground in Edemy Territory

6
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: on the weekend. So it'll tell us about his experience,

7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 2: as well as the atmosphere over there. Sincess Bank Park

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: kind of a nice park, so we'll get into that,

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: get into the series, and of course we have to

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: talk about the biggest news of all, Francisco Lindor. What's

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: going on with him back injury. We don't know what's

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: going on. I think regardless, it's not good. So there

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: is a little bit of panic going on in the

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: Mets world. I think it's rightfully so. But on the

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: Lindor side, on the baseball side, we'll talk about that

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,600

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: We just spent a full day watching football. Uh yeah,

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: our teams were victorious, which was nice. Both of our

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: teams were winners there. The Mets, though not winners, lost

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: a series of the Phillies. How we feeling.

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: I didn't even I didn't even feel football today after

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: the Mets lost that game the Jets. The Jets wind

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: did nothing for me. After the Mets are the blowing

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: the game. I seriously, I just I was like, actually,

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: Jets might have won before the Mets. No, No, the

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: Mets lost before the Jets. Yeah right, I don't know.

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: It was just it was horrible. This see this yeares

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: was bad. This bad vibes. We did the We did

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: the same space tweet that we copied from worldwid wib

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: on metstup and everyone was very upset. Not everyone, seventy

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: five percent of you guys were really upset in our comments,

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: thinking like the seasons over which I mean it isn't,

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: but it could be like I don't know, it's just

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: this series is that moment where you're like, oh my god,

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: like this it feels like, and we've probably said this

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: two or three times this year now, so maybe I'm

45
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: just I'm just beat a bullshitther but it does feel

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: like the magic has kind of finally actually begun to fade,

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: and we found ways to lose games we thought we

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: could have won, even just both losing both of the

49
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: games on Saturday and Sunday, not being able to come

50
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: out with one of those, having a four to nothing

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: lead on Saturday, having the quick one nothing lead that

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: immediately evaporated on Sunday. It's just bad. You just found

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: ways to lose games. I should have been fifty to

54
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: fifty even could have been better than fifty to fifty,

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: especially Saturday, and you're you're kind of stuck looking for

56
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: answers now because you have to play this team again

57
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: four times next weekend. So it's like if you can't

58
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: beat them, you just can't move on after that.

59
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you mentioned like maybe the magic is running out.

60
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: It felt like that with Code I Sango when we

61
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: hit that a little bit of a stres you know,

62
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: down down trend after code. I sang it the injury,

63
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: and it just seemed like the vibes were down a

64
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: little bit, but it was so excited he gets hurt,

65
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: the vibes went down a little bit. It's also kind

66
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: of feeling like that a little bit ish with the

67
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: Francisco Indoor news. I feel like the fact that Lindor

68
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: was taken out early on the game on Friday, Mets

69
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: were smoking the Phillies.

70
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: That game was pure bliss. I was on cloud nine.

71
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: I was having so much fun watching that game, just

72
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,559
Speaker 2: beating the piss out of Aaron Nola in that Phillies team.

73
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: To then have Francisco Lindoor leave in the seventh inning

74
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: for an undisclosed injury at the time, we then find

75
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: out it's lower back tightness or lower back soreness. I

76
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: think is actually what they called it. Never a good thing.

77
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: Never a good thing to hear a back injury. Back

78
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: injuries are not something that I feel like, you just

79
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: sleep and you go up, I'll be better the next day.

80
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: Like if anybody's ever had a bad back, I feel

81
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: like those are always the ones where it's like this,

82
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: this is gonna take me some time. And of course

83
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: the Mets gave him the day off. On Saturday, Luis

84
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: on Hellicunya made his debut and talk about him as well.

85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: Very impressive with what we saw thus far.

86
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: But then he tried to run it back on Sunday

87
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: and he goes up for his first place appearance. It

88
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: gets a hit because of course he does, because he's

89
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: the Nation League MVP, but.

90
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: That was also the mistake.

91
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: He shouldn't have been out on the field the way

92
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: he was running, the way he fielded a ground ball.

93
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: I haven't seen someone look that uncomfortable since David Wright

94
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: was trying to feel ground balls when he was literally dead.

95
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: It was just like it was bad. I don't think

96
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: you should have been out there.

97
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: Truthfully, it makes me question what was going on pre

98
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: game for him to be like, yeah, he was okay,

99
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: and I'm sure most of that was him being like

100
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: i'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing. And then

101
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: like there was this also weird moment Sunday early afternoon

102
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: morning where the Mets just didn't come out with a

103
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: lineup until like what thirty minutes before the game, forty

104
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: minutes before the game, So people like, what was going on?

105
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: Why is there no lineup, and then I think to

106
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: Como or someone tweeted like the Mets are just letting

107
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: Francisco Indor go through like an extended warm up, see

108
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: if he's okay, like a lot of time in the cage,

109
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: And I was thinking like, oh, that's not good. I

110
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: don't want to take a lot of time in the

111
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: cage if the back is sore already and you could

112
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: just see it that swing, like you said, when you

113
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: feel to the first ground ball, it's not good. And

114
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: I think that Mets fans, we don't want to believe

115
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 3: that something is wrong here. But if you have a

116
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: back issue, this is not This is not a twenty

117
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: four hour fix. It's not a forty eight hour fix.

118
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: Like you need a couple of days off that back,

119
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: especially as a shortstop and a hither because again he

120
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 3: does both of those things, like not all guys in

121
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: National League were competing for the MVP. You use your

122
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: back for everything. When you're hitting, you're rotating every single time,

123
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: when you're fielding, you're feeling around ball. You gotta bend

124
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: over ye get down there. So it's just everything to

125
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: do in a baseball field, you need your back. So

126
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: for him to have a sore back. I don't know.

127
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: I think as Mets fans, we were trying to will

128
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: it so he would be okay and playing this weekend

129
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: series because we know how important it is, but just

130
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: didn't seem feasible. And I'm scared that this might have

131
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 3: gotten significantly worse because he tried to push it now

132
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: on Sunday.

133
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ironic that Lindor's back is bothering him because

134
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: he's literally team He's carrying the team on his back

135
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: all season long. He's been incredible, But that it happened

136
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: right probably on that weird it's not slide to second

137
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: base On Friday night.

138
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: There was a report that came out I forget forgot

139
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: which beat rather said it, But apparently the back's been

140
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: feeling a little if he for a couple of weeks now,

141
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: which usually how these things go. And then when he

142
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: did get hurt on Friday, that bad I think was

143
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: that bad of the one before he filed the ball

144
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: off his foot, Yes, and then he was getting that

145
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: people put that ball in the gap and he was

146
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: rounding first coming the second. I think maybe that could

147
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: be why he didn't want to slide feet first to

148
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: put that foot into a base and then it looked

149
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 3: like he weirdly stepped on the base hard and it

150
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: looked like his body kind of compacted briefly for a second,

151
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: and just felt like from that moment on, once he

152
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: left that game, you're like, oh my god, this is

153
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: this is the worst thing that literally could the possibly

154
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: happened the team. That just happened in front of our faces.

155
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we'll get over the doompoortant here shortly,

156
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: because again, this is this is not normally the vibe

157
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: that we have, but it it is incredibly important that

158
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: Francisco Indoor is on this team. Like, without Francisco Indoor,

159
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: the season's pretty much over. I think we can say that.

160
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's just by far the best

161
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: player in the team. He's by far the most important.

162
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 3: He's been by far the most reliable and consistent the seasons.

163
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: Like ever, you put all that together, and you can

164
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 3: also just feel an emotional thing when he was pulled

165
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: from the game on Saturday, it felt like there was

166
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: a bit of a lull, Like I give a lot

167
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: of credit to David Peterson for keeping this team in

168
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 3: the game as long as he did. And pitching. He's

169
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: fucking hard out because he just seems to do that

170
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: basically every single time he pitches this season. But it

171
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: just felt kind of palpable, like the energy wasn't really there,

172
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: and same when they even played on Saturday. I was

173
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: so excited in the park on Saturday when they got

174
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: the run the top of the first without Lindor. That

175
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: was so incredibly important. It felt so vital, and they

176
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: tacked more on after that. Then there's what is enough

177
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: to sustain That comes back to a lot of guys

178
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: not performing, but then also comes back to cal fuck

179
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: Stevensen going over the wall. Like there's a lot that

180
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: goes into this, but it's just he is. He is

181
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: the harpy of this team. He's the lifeblood. He's the

182
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: best player. There's like there aren't even enough superlets has

183
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: passed that to even keep going without him. This gets really,

184
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: really fucking hard.

185
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the report right now is he's gonna be

186
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: getting an MRI on Monday when they get back to

187
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: New York. Hopefully maybe sleeping on his own bed will

188
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: do him some good, maybe being back with the family.

189
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to think of anything we've done episodes

190
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: in the past to you know, break bad juju, break

191
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: break bad luck and get rid of the evil spirits.

192
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: Somebody's got to put a spell on this guy and

193
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: just just give him like the elixir that's going to

194
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: get him back to health because we need him so badly.

195
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: Just again, even just from like the the sheer perspective

196
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: of something that Shootani can't do play shortstop. Just him

197
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: playing shortstop every single day makes him one of the

198
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: most valuable shortstops in the league. The fact that he's

199
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: such a good hitter as well, it's vastly important to

200
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: the success of this team.

201
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: But without a back all those things are not really

202
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: not possible and it's bad. And also when Louis on

203
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: Helicuna news happened on Friday night, we were having together,

204
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: having some beverages, just playing some shuffle board rock and

205
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: roll up, but it was seemed pretty obvious in the

206
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: moment that that was why that happened. I tweeted the

207
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: Windhorse meme because I was like, why would the mess

208
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: called Midlanfield right now and everyone's try to pretend the

209
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: door is okay and was like, no, he wasn't in

210
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 3: the lineup, Like it's Okay, he's gonna be fine whatever.

211
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: And the next day they're asking David Sterns like, oh,

212
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: why did you call it pacoun And he was like,

213
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: you know what, the Londor injury. We need the short stop.

214
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: So it's like sometimes it's not it's not that hard

215
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: to figure out. Like we everyone wants to be Charlie,

216
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: everyone in the in the mail room, Pepe Silvia. Everyone's

217
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: to put their ten foil hat on, figure out why

218
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: things are happening, why things are actually okay, Like no

219
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: a Mets phrasing lefties. Next two days it's like, no,

220
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 3: this is a fucking shortstop and we need a short stop.

221
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: This is very bad news.

222
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was not great. Now.

223
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, Luis on Helicunya, of course, did make

224
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: his debut on Saturday late as well on Sunday. Looks

225
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: like a nice little ballplayer. Looks like Zesty went Mirorfield.

226
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: We've been saying it all year long. He put a

227
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: couple balls to the warning track, right, which you know

228
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: that's gonna happens. He's not the strongest of guys, but

229
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: he is a good hitter and he's doing the thing

230
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: he does hitting singles like that's that's kind of just

231
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: what Luis on he Halloicuni is gonna give us right

232
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: now and again, James, what were we talking about while

233
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: we're watching football?

234
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: How old is Luis on Helicunya. What's what's his age range?

235
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: He's twenty two. He's a college senior. Yeah, or he

236
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: would have graduated in meg He's the same age as

237
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: Travis Pizano, who has just taken first overall in the

238
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: draft this past year. So he's young. He's a spring chicken.

239
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: I got a great scathing report from my mom in

240
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: the standa Citizens Bank Park. She went, Wow, he's a

241
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: little guy. He is a little guy, which is true.

242
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: He is a little guy. She's like, where do I

243
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: know that name from? It was like his brother's in

244
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: the Brave. She was like, oh yeah, right, all right,

245
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: but that this is Luisa Helicunya. MLB went hard with

246
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: the content for him. They showed him walking into the park.

247
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: I don't know how many of the rookies making their

248
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: debut they've showed walking into the park. They showed that.

249
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: They told they said that report that his brother Ronald

250
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: called him before his debut, Like, no, shit, you call

251
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 3: your brother before his major league ABU. But I guess

252
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: that's a tweet that gets a lot of engagement, and

253
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: I want to give myself a little pat in the back.

254
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: So that scathing report they gave was pretty fucking spot

255
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: on Luisa on Helicunia has put four plus. Uh, he's

256
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: put He's put six balls in play as a major

257
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: league baseball player. Four of them were hit hard, but

258
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: none of them were hit really hard. They were all

259
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: between ninety six and one hundred two miles an hour,

260
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: a couple of singles up the middle, pretty good hands

261
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: to shortstop and Oka arm I really wanted to try

262
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 3: to see him steal a base, but there wasn't the

263
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: best opportunity for from to do with it. There were

264
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: a few on Saturday, but they didn't push the envelope

265
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: with it. But this is Este Wood Merrifield. There's a

266
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: good little ball player. He's gonna put the bat on

267
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: the ball. He's not gonna take a walk, He's almost

268
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: never gonna do That're gonna swing some bad pitches, but

269
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: so he he laid off some nice ones on Saturday.

270
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: I thought he actually had some very good at bats.

271
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: He worked the counts a little bit, and he has

272
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: very good back control, where if he gets that barrel

273
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: on the ball, he's gonna hit it decently hard. He's

274
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: gonna shoot it in every direction. He's not really good

275
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: at pulling it either, because with the no with the

276
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: bad pitch selection, it's kind of hard for him to

277
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 3: like pull and drive a baseball. But yeah, I'm he's

278
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: not He's not fucking replacing for ciscoll indor. But in

279
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: terms of having like an emergency stop gap of like

280
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: a really good athlete who is fun, it's not that

281
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 3: it could be significantly worse.

282
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he very much looks like he belongs, at least

283
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: in this competent He looks like a competent major league

284
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: baseball player at the age of twenty two, something that

285
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people had questions about whether

286
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: or not he was actually ready to be at the

287
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: major league level because of the mixed results at Triple A.

288
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: So happy to see you, kun News looks decent.

289
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: Not happy for the reason why that he's up here,

290
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: of course, but that seems like the guy we're gonna

291
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: see at least probably for the rest of this series

292
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: against the Nationals coming up.

293
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 3: I think I'm a little bit Doomer right now, just

294
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: because against a back injury, if any.

295
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: Injury minimum, I think at the minimum, he's just he's

296
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: playing against the Nationals.

297
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: I think. I I'm almost at the point where I look,

298
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 3: he hope he does, because I wanted. It's like, if

299
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: you can win to either the Nationals with aut Francisco indoor,

300
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: then just get Francisco indoor back when we play these

301
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 3: teams with teeth over the next few weeks, because we're

302
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: just it's it's not getting easier, Like after the Nationals

303
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: it's four Phillies, three Braves, three Brewers. That fucking sucks.

304
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: Which also, this fucking schedule, the schedule, this is your thing,

305
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: but this schedule is insane. I'm not I'm not gonna

306
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: take the rant here because it's that's your shrine. But

307
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: the fact that the Mets schedule looks like it does

308
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: this last two weeks.

309
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: I like playing the division guys late in the season.

310
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: I told that's a lot, but you should be playing

311
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: them throughout the entire season.

312
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: Again, I say all the time, it's the bastardization of

313
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: this great game that we love, because why do we

314
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: not play the Phillies in American soil? For four months

315
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, we have to play

316
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: them seven times in ten days. That's not natural. It's

317
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 3: not what was supposed to happen. All the pitching matchups

318
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 3: that we just saw this weekend, we're going to see again.

319
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: Everyone's gonna see pitchers twice. That's not how baseball works.

320
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: That how's supposed to work. It's ridiculous that over the

321
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: last three months we couldn't find one serious sneak in

322
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: between the Mets and the Phillies. It doesn't and like

323
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 3: the fact that now we have to do this home

324
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: and home thing, and it also just sucks because they're

325
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: so freaking good, and it sucks played this could have

326
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: a team to get this late in the year. I

327
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: gotta give them some credit here. But it's just like

328
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: damn it, like ah, like I don't want to do this.

329
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: I want them to see these guys twice. I don't

330
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: want to see Louis Vrino again. I don't want Bress

331
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: Harpers Louise Everrie three times. But the third time he

332
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: was looking at fucking chops Like I don't want them

333
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: to see these guys over and over again. It's it's

334
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: not that's a hard thing to do, a hard thing

335
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: to ask of a pitcher, Like, I guess that's gonna

336
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 3: help us. We can see these guys again. But it's

337
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 3: just it's so bizarre and so weird and so annoying.

338
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: We just got all these games like truncated into the

339
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: end of the season and the beginning of the sea

340
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 3: because we had played the two series against them early.

341
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: Now we play two series against them late London in

342
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 3: the middle. It's like where, why? Why is this happening?

343
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: Like why is Major League Baseball's code so stupid with this?

344
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: Like why do we keep playing these teams over and

345
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: over again? The Diamondbacks haven't played the Brewers all year

346
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: until this weekend, and now they're playing them again six

347
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: times in like ten days too, Like why has this

348
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: happened for so many different teams all the time.

349
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's terrible. It's awful.

350
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you could you could find someone to code

351
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: this better. I think we might try. I think we

352
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: might this offseason see if we can make our own

353
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 2: schedule and see if we can do a better job

354
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: than what the coding and department or whatever's doing over

355
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: at Major League Baseball, because the schedule This is something

356
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: that you've been yelling about for years. And I know

357
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: now with inter league play like things get a little

358
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: more difficult. But the fact that again seven of the

359
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: what teen or how many games you play against Phillies

360
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: in a full year.

361
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: Two series each side, so generally that's.

362
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: Thirteen fourteen games whatever it is, that half of those

363
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 2: games are being played in a two weeks stretch, not

364
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: even a two week stretch, in a one week stretch.

365
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: Ten days, seven to ten days. If you live in

366
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: an urban metropolitanara, you could throw a baseball out of

367
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: your window and hit someone who can code this schedule

368
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: probably be than whoever coded it for the last couple

369
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: of years. But good time to hear from our sponsors.

370
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: All right, we're back talking about the Mets. We just

371
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: went over the sixth talking about the Mets. Yeah, we're

372
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: back talking about radio intro.

373
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Radio intro. I don't know what to do now. We

374
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: got these ads stop.

375
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: There weren't ones that we read, so I don't really

376
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: know how to come back into this. This is this

377
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: is a new territory for us, so again, hang with us.

378
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: Hope you guys are enjoying it as always. Uh, let's

379
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: talk a little bit more about the series. Pitching side,

380
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: It was a little bit weird because again Diaz blew

381
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: the game, will plume blue the game against them in

382
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Game two. But like overall, I wasn't frustrated with how

383
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: the pitching went. Like starting pitching was good, starting pitching

384
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: department was great.

385
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: I was I was pretty frustrating. Two instances where how

386
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: long Carls Mendoz left both the Louis Averreno and David

387
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: Peterson in this game. Both of those, both of those

388
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 3: pissed me off.

389
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: Getting a little cute definitely getting a little cute here,

390
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: which don't love that late in the season.

391
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: I know, h Friday, no Saturday.

392
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: I think they were talking about how the Mets as

393
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: a whole as an organization feel like they've found a

394
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: bit of an inefficiency in Major League Baseball where they

395
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: feel they can actually push these pitchers further. It'll keep

396
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: them healthier, it will keep them sharper, rather than when

397
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: a lot of teams are pulling these guys a lot earlier,

398
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: which I don't know. I trust the nerds who are

399
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: coming up with this stuff, but in this scenario against

400
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: the Phillies, who are a really good hitting team little

401
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: Monday morning quarterback. But hey, maybe we just play the

402
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: game that way it's been played the last one hundred years.

403
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think when you get into these like

404
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: short term decision making in the end of the year,

405
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: where every single out and every single game is super important,

406
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: you could be thinking about long term health and like

407
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: and like trusting this process that we've been using for

408
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: months on end. I think this is how a lot

409
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: of teams get in trouble in the playoffs, where they

410
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: kind of build a team and build a strategy and

411
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: build a mindset for a one to six two game

412
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: regular season with a monster sample size. But now it's

413
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: just like the next four pitcher is the most important

414
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: thing in the world. I think a lot of managers

415
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: have seen this weekend have really been good with just

416
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: where cooks on, guys, because every single game is important.

417
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: Ben Lively today for the Guardians, he cruised through four

418
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: five innings against against the Rays. I have the stats

419
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: over here because I wrote it up for rodal World,

420
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: but it was pretty funny. So Ben Lively had retired

421
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: eleven in a row going into the sixth inning of

422
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: this game. He gave up two singles to start the

423
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: inning in a game where he had only given up

424
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: two base runners at that point on and no runners

425
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: coring position. He got taken out immediately for Kate Smith,

426
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: who was The Guardian's top fireman in two nothing game.

427
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: So again, like that's just like you have to do it.

428
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: You have to do it. This is a game we

429
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: have to win, so we have to act like we

430
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: have to win it. And on Saturday, when Bryce Harper

431
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 3: came to the plate for the third time as a

432
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: left handed batther having justed a home run with a

433
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: man on base, calls me though it seemed like he

434
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: was managing just for the vibes rather than for the situation,

435
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: because it seemed so painfully obvious at that moment, the

436
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: way the momentum of that game was going that Louis

437
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: everyone wasn't going to get him out. Luisavrino didn't have

438
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: a great field to change up as that game progressed.

439
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: While he did have a really good game. The sweeper

440
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: was amazing. We know the sweeper is not really effective

441
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 3: against guys against lefties, just isn't and Severna was throwing

442
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: sinker sweeper a lot this game. Was most of the

443
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: pitches he only winds up throwing five change up with

444
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: four colors in total, a lot of forcing fastballs. The

445
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 3: fastball is great, and the fastball is great even individually.

446
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 3: Now that bat to Harper, which makes it even more frustrating.

447
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 3: But in that moment, after Harper had just homered off

448
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 3: him on a great piece of hitting on like on

449
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 3: a pitch that was outside. Again, I was in the ballpark,

450
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: so I'm gona figure, I'm gonna find out what the

451
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: what that pitch was that he hit the first home run,

452
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 3: because it was it looked just like the home run

453
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: that he hit off of I think it was, I

454
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: don't remember which was Prodre's reliever was in the NLCS

455
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 3: two years ago where it was a low and outside

456
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: pitch and just went with the other way, and it

457
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 3: was a change up that had little too much play

458
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: out on Savantis now and it was like, oh, Bryce

459
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 3: Harper's so fucking good and he'll made the worst That

460
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: was Brice Harper's first home run six weeks, I know, horrible,

461
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 3: and then.

462
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: My fantasy team killed me in the playoffs.

463
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: And then he comes up again and it's like, okay,

464
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: there's a man on base. Everyone just walked Trey Turner,

465
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: and now Bryce Harper's up. He just hit the home runs.

466
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: Everyone does not have a really deep bag against lefties.

467
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 3: This is a tense moment in the game. We're winning

468
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: four to one. This could make this a real gaming

469
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: and gets his crowd back into it. And the part

470
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 3: that's the most frustrating for me by far is that

471
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: Danny Young comes in the next inning.

472
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna tell you, I think why Mendoza did it.

473
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think it's the right decision, but I

474
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: think I can rationalize why. So it was a sixth

475
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: inning when Harper hit that second home run against Severino.

476
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: That means he's gonna get up in the ninth inning,

477
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: guaranteed to get at least one more at bat in

478
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: this game.

479
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: At that moment, Bryce Harper could not beat you.

480
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: He can make the game closer, but he could not

481
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: physically take the lead or even tie the game.

482
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: So I think he was saying, we're gonna go Saverino.

483
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: Here, trying to be cute, trying to be cute because

484
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: they know Harber h one more time, and Danny Young

485
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: is our left handed guy right now, so he knows

486
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: what are we gonna do for Harper if he comes

487
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: up this time. I don't think that's the right decision,

488
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: but I think that was the thought process, along with

489
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: the fact that if for some reason Danny Young doesn't

490
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: get Bryce Harper out, it's now first or yeah, first

491
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: and second. Nick Casteano's up, who crushes left handed pitching.

492
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: That's something he does for his entire career. So I

493
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: think that was the reasoning behind it. I don't agree

494
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 2: with it though, because again, you got you gotta get

495
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: the outs.

496
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: In front of you first.

497
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: Even Ron and Keith and Garret in the booth, we're

498
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: talking about how one that walked to Trey Turner can't.

499
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: Happen hard to attack.

500
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 3: That was that was the problem.

501
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't put him on base, that was the

502
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: big problem.

503
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: And then two they were like, this is why you

504
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: can't put him on base because Bryce Harper's coming up

505
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: against the right handed pitcher and he's just better.

506
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: But to that, I'm gonna completely take a walk down

507
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: everything you just said in one second. At that point

508
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: in the game, Bryce Harper had one of the Phillies

509
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 3: two hits and it was a home run. For sure,

510
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 3: he was the guy. He was the only guy who

511
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 3: was getting objectively true though Okay, sure, yeah totally, but

512
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: like in your head you have to think there's one

513
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: guy in this lineup beating me right now. I can't

514
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: let him do that. And then also to kill that

515
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: Dan Young point, he started the next inding clean. Jato

516
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 3: Ermuto came up second and laced a hit and then

517
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: I think he actually blooped out one. He laced the

518
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: one later. But it's like, if you're comfortable with Danny

519
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: Young facing ja Ermuto, who crushes lefties, you're that uncomfortable

520
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: him facing the castianos just so you can actually And

521
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: then also the third point about that, Okay, we don't

522
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 3: want to burn Danny Young's he's our best left to

523
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: the face Price Harper in the sixth fucking have Edwin

524
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 3: Diaz Edwards can't get lefties out, He can't get left

525
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: He's out. He shouldn't be. He should be able to

526
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 3: get lefties out. We saw it in Sunday that it's

527
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: maybe not the mos and lefties, but whatever, ah, but I.

528
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: Think I think that's what I think he was trying

529
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: to get too cute and frost the logic.

530
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: None of this logic was sound. And also Why the

531
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: fuck with the arrested bullpen? Why is Dan Young just

532
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 3: getting clean shot to seventh inning? Yeah, I don't know

533
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: why the fuck was that happening, Like there's too many

534
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: good left seasons. Line that you're just letting Dan Young

535
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: pitch a clean inning, like you need Danny Young. Daniel's

536
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 3: on this team seventy percent of the reason to get

537
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: Bryce Harper out.

538
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: True, Yeah, literally almost hitters either in this vision.

539
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to take anyth away from Dani Young.

540
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 3: He's been so great this year, and the two hits

541
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: he gave up in that inning to spur the way

542
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: the Phillies took the league were both just dinkulo bloops

543
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: like it was bullshit, but that just happens is baseball.

544
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: But the fact that you're you trust Dan Young enough

545
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: to pitch a clean seventh inning, but you didn't want

546
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: to push him against Bryce Arper. And again, this is

547
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: the feel thing that Mendoza has done so well this year,

548
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: but you think you miss it in this instance. The

549
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: feel of that moment was that Luisse Reno is an

550
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: empty bag against left handed hitters right now, and Bryce

551
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 3: Harper just hit a home run off him on like

552
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: not even objectively, that bad of a pitch. And then

553
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: you get to the two strike approch right there and

554
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: you throw him a sweeper in the zone. What the

555
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: fuck was gonna happen there? It's like every single thing

556
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: bank bank bang, every single decision was wrong, every single

557
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: thing went wrong, and that spawned what would happen later

558
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 3: on ruin this game for us, Yeah, Cal Stevenson, double

559
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: fuck Cal Stevenson, Cal Stevenson.

560
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: For those of you who are new, maybe you're new here,

561
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: maybe you're old. We haven't been able to do this

562
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 2: in quite some time. We were now crowning, putting the

563
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: crown on a new rat.

564
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Fuck. Cal Stevenson is officially a rat.

565
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 3: Fuck Cal Stevenson. I will remember for the rest of

566
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 3: my life. I went to the Cal Stevenson game, the

567
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: fact that he hits the double off of Reed Garrett

568
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 3: and again, not even objectively that bad of a pitch.

569
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: It really wasn't.

570
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: Were you at the endur INCRTA game two?

571
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 3: I wasn't. I was in a while for that one. Okay,

572
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: for new listeners at the end of the end, they're

573
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: in TRTE game. But this though, made me feel like

574
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: that because that in twenty sixteen also felt like a dagger,

575
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: and it wound up not being a dagger. And it

576
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 3: was the same time of years, middle of September. I remember

577
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: I was back in my college house and at that

578
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: point my roommate was not into sports at all. He

579
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 3: would kind of like he would kind of leave ak

580
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: a little bit with this when the Mets were getting hot,

581
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 3: so he knew I was just insane. IY I buy

582
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: a non aggressive guy. Ever, I slammed my fist down

583
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: on my coffee table when Andren Crt made that catch

584
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: off you went assessment his home run that would have

585
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: been nineth enning that game against the Braves. I left

586
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: a hole in my Ikia coffee table that would remain

587
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: until I moved out of the apartment. But this felt

588
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 3: like that because it was different than NCRT, because Enduring

589
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: Cirte could never get a hit ever in his life. Really,

590
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: but Cal Stevenson laces a double on I think it

591
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: was a splither from Reid Garrett down the line, the

592
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: two strike pitch as the nine hitter, not even a

593
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: bad pitch. It wasn't a bad pitch, and Garrett did say, like,

594
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: I just have to make a better pitch. But wasn't

595
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: a bad pitch, but he still has to make a

596
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 3: betther pitch. You have to get nine hitter out of

597
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: the situation, and he got tough to get that spot.

598
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: And I do want to shout out Rob Thompson for

599
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: a second for bunting with Brandon marsh to set up

600
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 3: the eighth and nine hitters, because that legitimately almost fucking

601
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 3: saved us, And the fact that the work makes me

602
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 3: feel so gross and disgusting inside that his last good

603
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 3: hitter in the line up bunted to set up his

604
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: eight and nine hitters and he fucking got away with it,

605
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 3: And god damn it, that was I was getting heckled

606
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: so bad in my section if Great America say as

607
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 3: his Bank Park, and I'll tell you guys about the

608
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: stadium now, just because I was pretty vivacious early in

609
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: the game, as I like we should have been. We're

610
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: winning four nothing in the third inning, and we did

611
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 3: leave some runs on the board too. I gotta say

612
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 3: that Francis to go over strake out the man on third.

613
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: I felt like I was gonna come back to bias

614
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: in the ass. Did come back, and Bias in the ass,

615
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: but yeah, I was getting people sayce I was hacking.

616
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: I was having a good time the Philly people. I

617
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: did meet some good Philly people who really like to

618
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: talk ball. I was talked to some other Philly people

619
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: that were Annie males, we like to say on now.

620
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: These were some. These were some vulgar, horrible people. There

621
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: was a woman in the aisle who was talking shit

622
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: to my mom forever the whole game, really just non

623
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: stop shit talking my my sweet mother, my sweet mother. Horrible,

624
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 3: what a horrible woman. It was just continuously berating her.

625
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: And then there was one guy who every time they

626
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 3: did the run, he just look at me, ah and

627
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 3: they they're just really fan of called me out knew

628
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 3: I was. He was like, James messed up, fuck you.

629
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, this fucking sucks. But such a

630
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 3: great ballpark. They're so efficient with their parking. It makes

631
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: me really jealous of their of their on off in

632
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: the highway. In the parking there's so many just satellite

633
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: parking lots. They're just twenty dollars cash going out. Such

634
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 3: a nice thing because it's cash.

635
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Wow, cash is king well some not like.

636
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 3: When you get stuck in the city field parking lot.

637
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: You guys know, you're in there for an hour and

638
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: a half because I don't know who decided the should

639
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: be three exits of that whole fucking thing, three exits

640
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: that are just thirty thousand people. Yeah, one light and

641
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: then everyone's just fighting with each other to get cut

642
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: into each other because everyone's from New York, so everyone's

643
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 3: a lunatic. Also, I think it's so underrated how easy

644
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 3: this for Mets fans to get to Citizen's Back Park incredibly,

645
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: especially as Mets frants to New Jersey. Like, I don't

646
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 3: think we realize that if you're from New Jersey, getting

647
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: to a Mets game is like it's it's like a

648
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: it's a battle, Like you have to go through the

649
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 3: stage Dante's in fernt and the stage as of Hell

650
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 3: to get there. And it's truthfully, I think it's quicker

651
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: if you live in New Jersey. Think's quicker to get

652
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: Philadelphiato Queens. I'm not I'm not even fucking kidding.

653
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: I disagree. I will say this.

654
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: You you do over hype sometimes in New Jersey to Queens. Dude, Ude,

655
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: it's so because you've never had a time. Though you've

656
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: never you'll have a job. You've never had to leave

657
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: like at five fifteen.

658
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: That's true. I do four to thirty four oclocks.

659
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, even four o'clock gets bad.

660
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: But like even on a Saturday morning trying to get

661
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: through the GW, it's hell. It's hell on earth and

662
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: people know this, so I think, And it's also it's

663
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: cool to being a ballpark is actually out because again

664
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: for most Mess fans, it's really hard to get to

665
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 3: City Field, so we we I just think that cuts

666
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: away from what crowds could be. For a lot of

667
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: the big games where Citney sits his bank, they're popping

668
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 3: every single game, Like it was it was one hundred

669
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: dollars retell ticket to get into this game.

670
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: People people in New York got got important things to

671
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: People in Philly got nothing to do.

672
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: There's absolutely not, absolutely nothing to do. I was so

673
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: excited to leave that help it of a city that

674
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: I do love. I love that to help it. But

675
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: I have friend, I see it.

676
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: Though I see it, it's sorry it start top.

677
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: I was.

678
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: I was so pissed off. Well, but also the first

679
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 3: thing I did when I got to Philly I tried.

680
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: I had to go to the bathroom onto a gas station.

681
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 3: I got told me no bathroom allowed. I was like,

682
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: fuck you, dude.

683
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: My move is like, so you go to the bath

684
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: you don't go to the bathroom all Daythom does go?

685
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: Where do you go? Where you go? It's like not

686
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: for customers. I was like, your narrow ass. I know

687
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: that I was about to buy a drink. I put

688
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 3: it back good. Good, Yeah, I might give you my

689
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 3: money anymore. Yeah, fuck that guy. But let's do another

690
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: ad real quick, so I stop getting so mad.

691
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: Well, James, you wanted to calm down, Uh yeah, I'm

692
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: gonna get you riled up a little bit more. David

693
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: Peterson coming out for the eighth as well.

694
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: Another one pissed me off. I mean, but he was

695
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: cruising so hard. But it was also a situation where

696
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 3: he'd given to David Peterson cruise though, Like yeah, like

697
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 3: he'd given up fourteen hard hit balls. He was missing

698
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: a lot of the bats too. And I think the

699
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 3: piece it was such a good game play pitch really well.

700
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: The fastballs were high, the slides and champs were low,

701
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: the sinkers were in on the lefties. Like it was

702
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 3: a good It was a really good pitch game by

703
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: David Pearson, and we're where we are nowhere this season

704
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,239
Speaker 3: without David Peterson. I will not take anything away from him.

705
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 3: And he's a warrior and he's a dog. He's a

706
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: work coming for coming out for that eighth inning. But

707
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 3: I just don't think that was the moment for him

708
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 3: to come out of the pitch of the eighth inning

709
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 3: of a game, because again, the bullpen was relatively rested

710
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: the day before. We used we used Danny Young and

711
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 3: Ryan Stannick, like why can and then Alex my bad

712
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: standic and we use Reguarrett, But like, why what happened

713
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: to Jose Bu though? Like he's not coming out anymore?

714
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 3: Like what's going on? Like Mayton comes in to clean

715
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: up the mess? Why Mayson just start the fucking inning?

716
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know. It was pissing me off

717
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 3: that that happened, And it's not that bad. I really

718
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: think it wasn't. But I think sometimes that managers and

719
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: fans and people we get obsessed with the hundred pitch numbers, like, oh,

720
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: you can keep pitching if you haven't thrown a hundred

721
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: pitches yet.

722
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: Number in the world.

723
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, not really. I don't know, and like he got

724
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: through the most frustrating price, He got through the meat

725
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: of the order third time through, and then it's again,

726
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: it never fucking ends, Weston Wilson and Buddy fucking Kennedy, Like,

727
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 3: what the fuck is going on? These are west and

728
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: Wilson's been He's been awesome this year, he really has.

729
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: This is a month anniversary of his cycle, which is

730
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 3: really impressive. Wes and Wilson legend, thirty year old rookie.

731
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 3: But I'm just like, I guess we're gonna sit spot here.

732
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 3: We're like, we're lucky that the bullpen has been rested

733
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: for a couple of days.

734
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: Now.

735
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: This is when you go, guys, burn, guys burn, guys,

736
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: go go go anything you can do again watching other

737
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 3: games weekend managers around the league are managing these games

738
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 3: like it's the playoffs right now. The Mets should be

739
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: managing Mendola should be managing these games like this, And

740
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: just felt like these last two days he didn't. He

741
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: was trying to stretch the starters, which again I think

742
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: he's worried about the seven games coming up in a

743
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 3: row now after the three the ten games in ten days,

744
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 3: I think that was in his own head. I think

745
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: that's a massive mistake.

746
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it definitely cost us.

747
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 3: You got me hot again, I cooled off. You gotta

748
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 3: be high.

749
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 2: It costs us on Sunday for sure. Also, we just

750
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: gotta score a little bit more too. Christopher Sancho's pitch

751
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: to the hell of a game. He's a good picture.

752
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: But it's also the weird thing of like score one run,

753
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: tough to win, no this and that. That's a big problem.

754
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: Esecially scoring that run in the eighth inning again similar

755
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: that was I don't think he should came out for that.

756
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: That's scoring, and we're swinging missing a lot. I think

757
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: we had like eleven hard hit balls, like we were

758
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 3: putting the bat on the ball. Especially again, people were

759
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: less sure talking Pete. Still Pete had that single in

760
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 3: the top of the ninth, that really or maybe that

761
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: was still the eighth, that was the ninth, I don't remember. Actually,

762
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 3: I don't know which one. Each really should have driven

763
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: Harrison and be their home from second base, and Bryce

764
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: Harper just barely got a glove on it. And I

765
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: still thought it might have not been the worst thing

766
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 3: in the world. The way Nimbles swinging the bad for

767
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: Baita to push the envelope and Dare who was playing

768
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: second base at that time, I think that was Buddy Kennedy. Dare,

769
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: Buddy Kennedy to make a perfect throw to get you

770
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: at home, just turn that corner and just fucking go.

771
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was him.

772
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if the third base coach, I don't know,

773
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: but just we just we we both of these games,

774
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: it felt like we set the Phillies up to come

775
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: back on us, to take the lead. And that's just

776
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: kind of what happened.

777
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's what kind of happened. And I think

778
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: a lot of people are doom. And I think if

779
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: you're on the Lindor injury doom, I think that's fair.

780
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, like I mean,

781
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: there's some comments. We put out a tweet over on

782
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: our Twitter at Mets up Mets Fans is a safe space,

783
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: Blue two leads.

784
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: Lindor is out let it all out. How are we feeling?

785
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: And there are some really funny responses. There are some

786
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: good ones. I want we're gonna give a couple of

787
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: shout outs to a few of them.

788
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: Here.

789
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: There's a guy named Gil Gil Griffin good name good, good,

790
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: dame good. Alliteration from Gil Griffin there, But he was

791
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: just saying the problem the way that he's feeling that

792
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: we never ever rise to the occasion. I had a

793
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: bad feeling yesterday as early as Harper's first home run,

794
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: and I got an even worse feeling after Tyrone Taylor

795
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: homer for US today, which I don't know how you

796
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: get a worst feeling when the guy hit a home run.

797
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: That's bad juju.

798
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: With the exception of twenty fifteen, we have failed miserably

799
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: in the regular season to win when it matters most.

800
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: First off, a lot of those teams have been really bad.

801
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: It's not it's not have been have been uncompetitive teams,

802
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: So it's not like a they failed to win when

803
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: it matters. Most season was over for day one and

804
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: when Mickey Callaway was managing most of these teas.

805
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: But that that happen in twenty twenty two. On twenty

806
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 3: twenty two, we did was we shit the bead. We

807
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: needed to win literally one more game. We just couldn't

808
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: do it. We couldn't pull up. But that team just

809
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: by that time that Braziers happened. Those vibes are horrific,

810
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 3: But I don't I saw them gotten that feeling from

811
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: this team really.

812
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: Up up until this point. Again, the first two months

813
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: bad and that's why every game matters. And you can't

814
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: say games in April in May don't matter as much

815
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: as they do in September and October. One four win

816
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: the Mets, Yeah, one more win, things look differently. But

817
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: the Mets have the best record in baseball since June.

818
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: So the game just tied the game.

819
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: Nice good, good, good interruption there. It'said the best record

820
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: in baseball in June. They've been playing good teams, they've

821
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: been beat him. They had huge wins in Arizona, they

822
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: had huge wins against the Reds. They had a miracle

823
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: win against the Blue Jays. Like, this team has stepped up.

824
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: So I think the narrative that this team doesn't step

825
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: up when they need the most. Sometimes you lose to

826
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: a better team. The Phillies are better than the Mets.

827
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: That's that's an undeniable.

828
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 3: Truth, no undeniable truth. This is a great roster and

829
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 3: again you could feel it this series because when these

830
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: guys the bottom of the other get hit, you're like,

831
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: oh my god, I have to face Schwarbur, Turner, Harper.

832
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: Right now, you're like this sucks.

833
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: And then and it kind of like when we had

834
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: like Bader and alfh Is getting hot, when those guys

835
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 2: were hot in Texas and the Rangers sudden like shit,

836
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: now we got to pitch the Lindor and Nimo and

837
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: Alonso and gd Yeah, when they were going, yeah, when

838
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: they were going. These are things that happened. It's not like, again,

839
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: Cal Stevenson's a rat. We know that West and Wilson, Kennedy,

840
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: these guys suck, but they are still major league players,

841
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: so they're gonna get hits at times. Of course, that's

842
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: what makes it so dangerous when they do get those

843
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: hits because of this lineup.

844
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: The thing that made me want to gouge out my

845
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: own eyes and scream into the night the void was

846
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: Taiwan Walker. Yeah, because we put Kobe Allen on the ropes.

847
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: We did a great job, great the Poetrigins, Kobe Alix,

848
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 3: who's now a strike throw who doesn't have any good stuff.

849
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: He's just a junkie lefty. We got got him out

850
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: by the third inning. And Taiwan Walker, who we know well,

851
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 3: who statistically right now, I'm not being hyperbolic, like I

852
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: offen m might be the worst pitcher in baseball. He's

853
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: horrifically bad. And he came in and we laced. We

854
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: laced balls left and right. We had three hits, and

855
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 3: we couldn't fucking score a run. And as this was happening,

856
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: the momentum in that ballpark was growing. People are starting

857
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 3: to get hope Harper hit the first home run. But

858
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: then you also know that this Philly team and mentioned

859
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: it with Ruber Tomorrow last week, this bullpen is not

860
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 3: a fucking joke. This is probably right now, pound for pound,

861
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 3: the best ballpen in baseball. And you guys could feel

862
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: Oryan Kirkering, Jeff Hoffman, and Carlos de Stebez come into

863
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 3: this game and you're like, what the fuck just happened?

864
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: We didn't even sniff Louis and Helkuni's only gotta get

865
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 3: hill off those three guys in this series. Actually we

866
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: might got a hit of.

867
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: Kurt kind of go figure that hits who.

868
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 3: Somebody else got a hill of Kirkering on Sunday. I

869
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: forgot who it was, Ah that actually it might have

870
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 3: been the peat hit. Great, yeah, great, cool, that was good.

871
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: But you have to get hits off Tyan Walker, who

872
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: fucking sucks because they have these mutants to come in afterwards,

873
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: and when they made the game close enough where like

874
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: we're gonna use these guys. Also credit for Rob Thompson

875
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: for pushing the envelope. I'm using my eighteen bullpen when

876
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 3: I'm losing because I think we're going to take this lead. Yes,

877
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 3: that is a that's a dog move. That's why he's

878
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: a great manager. I think that's a feel that Carls

879
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: Mozos lost this series. He didn't do that enough time

880
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 3: to kill. He didn't go for the killing. He's try

881
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: to survive. For that, they tried to survive instead of

882
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: it's a win. I think that you try to not

883
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: lose this to of win. I think that wound up

884
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 3: being the big mistake. But the bat just fucking has

885
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: to be better. Mark Fiento since the two home run

886
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: game is lost, I think he's what one for twenty

887
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: three he had he had a golden sombrero on Sunday,

888
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 3: Pete got he's been He's been swinging at like sliders

889
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: that are not even never shrikes, like not close to

890
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: the zone. Yeah, JJ Martinez too, Like that's just I

891
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 3: don't even want to want to talk about j J.

892
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: Martinez because he he hasn't been swinging well. But I

893
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: got the tweet from Dicomo here because it shook me

894
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: to my core. You guys, guys will love this one.

895
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: I'm scrolling togad So this is that after his second

896
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: at bat on Sunday, after the ball got feeled at

897
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 3: the warning track on Christopher Sanchez. Deply, I think Pete

898
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: was on second. The last three balls JAJ Martinez is

899
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: put in play if travels combined eleven hundred and eighty

900
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: five feet, so just a hair under four hundred feet

901
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 3: per ball in play. All the Eggs have lost these

902
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 3: of one hundred and one miles an hour harder. None

903
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 3: of them resulted in hits, and the cow seems won.

904
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 3: Saturday was the backbreaker because if he hits that home

905
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 3: run and we tie the game right for the Harper

906
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 3: home run, everything fucking changes. You much suck the era

907
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 3: out of that place. You're all back, you're back on vibe,

908
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 3: you're feeling yourself, and it all dies in a second.

909
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 3: And also, big problem is all this compounding shit with

910
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: the door and everything. If you're able to just find

911
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: a way to step on the throat and win the

912
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 3: game on Saturday. You might not push him on Sunday.

913
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 3: You really might not, because this became a little bit

914
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 3: more of a must win kind of feel when you

915
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 3: blew the game Saturday. So maybe it's just like he

916
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: has to day. We have the series, we're playing with

917
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: house money on Sunday. Let's just get through it and

918
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 3: get past it, and then it doesn't happen. And now

919
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: this could be a disaster.

920
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be a disaster, and I guess we

921
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: will see everything kind of again. Really realize I'm this

922
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: MRI by Francisco Lindoor that is gonna really determine how

923
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 2: my mental health is over the next day. Honestly, until

924
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: that news comes out, I'm on pins and needles.

925
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 3: I might just sleep until it happens. I'm so tired.

926
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: It's be a long week. We're gonna wake me up

927
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: when the mri ns wake me up with the mri ns,

928
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 3: Green Shadow, Green Day. Is there anything else we missed

929
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 3: from this series that we should talk about. We've got

930
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 3: cal Stevenson. We hate the Phillies. I'd give a lot

931
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: of credits to Bryce Harper again. Dave Peerson was really good.

932
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 3: He was really good. I don't want just because he

933
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 3: gave up that run the eighth thing I'm not taking

934
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: away from how fucking awesome the start was. The Mets

935
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 3: needed him to go out and shove, and he did

936
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: literally exactly that.

937
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: Quick little media marvel before we get going into the

938
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: National Series. Now, this media marvel didn't necessarily happen on

939
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 2: this series.

940
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: But wait, wait, I got something else. I got something else.

941
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: I remember something I don't want to fully flush that

942
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 3: we had a really good game on Friday would be

943
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 3: the piss out of this Phillies team for Cisco Alvarez,

944
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 3: especially the three run home run that he hit off

945
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 3: of off of Nola. The Nemo hits two, but Alvas

946
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 3: does feel like he's swinging the bat better. He's hitting

947
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 3: the ball much harder, more consistently. That was the second

948
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: three run home run three at bats. He also I

949
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 3: liked on Saturday a lot. The Phillies kept pitching him

950
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: outside outside, especially Kobe Allard with change ups left to

951
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: change in verus soariety, and he didn't get great with

952
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 3: on them, but he continuously went the other way with them,

953
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 3: went the other way with them. He did the best

954
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 3: strikeout that blew that run, But can't can't take away

955
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: how well this team hit on Friday. We might have

956
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: just used up all of our runs.

957
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately it does feel like that. And again this

958
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: will now build.

959
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 3: Into and also again shout out Tyroun Tail. That was

960
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: a huge home run. He's had a great season. He's

961
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 3: been a great little player. Amazing pick up by David Stearns.

962
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 3: He's he really he trade. He's exactly what you want

963
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 3: from fourth outfield. And we said this to you guys

964
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 3: in fucking what February. You said it again in April

965
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 3: and it's been true all season. So get shout out

966
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 3: Tyrone Taylor my favorite, my morning jacket song, Tyrone.

967
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tyrone.

968
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 2: All right, So back to the media, marvel quick little thing.

969
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: It happened on the Francisco indoor home run game against

970
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays. People are starting to turn on and.

971
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: Make sure you bleep it.

972
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll bleep it, I'll bleep it. I'll i'll maybe

973
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: i'll include just like a little bit in case they don't. Eh,

974
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. We know who it is. They know who

975
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: it is.

976
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, starting to turn on him a little bit

977
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: which is I guess refreshing. And if for those of

978
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: you who don't know that said character, when Francisco Indoor

979
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: hit that home run against the Blue Jays, barstool, as

980
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not gonna bleep that.

981
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: People know them.

982
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: Barstool will do live streams, will do watch along as

983
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: they'll just they'll they'll film guys when they're reacting to

984
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: games and stuff, always making content. And said individual had

985
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: zero reaction to the Francisco lindor maybe biggest home run

986
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 2: of the entire season, maybe saving season.

987
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: No reaction.

988
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 2: In fact, it honestly looked like he was a little

989
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 2: upset because now he wasn't gonna be able to make

990
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: one of his rant videos where he choose through his

991
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: T shirt. And now you're starting to see because after

992
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 2: these Phillis games, of course he went ballistic and he

993
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: went crazy. And we're not gonna pipe in that because

994
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: you can go find that yourself if you want to know,

995
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: I would suggest you don't.

996
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: It's bad people don't.

997
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: But I'm starting to see some people in the Mets

998
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 2: community that I don't want to say, egged him on

999
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 2: or encourage his behavior, starting to turn on him, turn

1000
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 2: on him a little bit, and I think that's that's

1001
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: good vibes for the Mets going forward.

1002
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's just better to get these toxic

1003
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 3: people out of your life in general, especially out of

1004
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: the Mets fandom. It's nice to see that people who

1005
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 3: used to be with him are now realizing that everything

1006
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 3: he does is an act. He's a fake fan. He's

1007
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: not He's not someone that anyone He's not something that

1008
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 3: should be platformed. It's almost like sad the way he acts.

1009
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 3: It's like it's true mental illness. I feel bad for

1010
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 3: him at times. Again, I think his life is probably

1011
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 3: gotten better from this rush of fame, but also it's

1012
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: just he's literally standing on the stage and being laughed at,

1013
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: and I don't think he realizes half the time. But

1014
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 3: it's it's just a shame that someone who claims to

1015
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 3: be this this massive Mets fan, someone that people outside

1016
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 3: of the Mes community see as the Mets fan, like

1017
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 3: the quintessentral most famous Mets fan, and he's someone who

1018
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: at the Mets the most important regular season ball and

1019
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: play I can remember since the conform the Double in

1020
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. I want to say truthfully, as Druble Corbrera's

1021
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 3: home run against Ramos was true. So twenty sixteen the

1022
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 3: most the most quintessential important ball the Mets have put

1023
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: in play in the regular season in eight years, basically

1024
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 3: in a decade. This person was upset about it, So

1025
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: that that gives you all you need to know. Happy

1026
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: that video went viral, and happy that we're on the

1027
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 3: path getting this horrible person out of our lives.

1028
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah no, and that's the media marvel. Before we do

1029
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: get going into this National Series. Quick little word for

1030
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 2: more sponsors one more time here, All right, let's talk

1031
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,680

00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 2: York City. Me and James will be attending at least

1033
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 2: one of these games. We're still possibly three, possibly three,

1034
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: still up in the air about what the decision making

1035
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: is going to be behind which games and what we're going.

1036
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 3: To also a little six. I don't know how many

1037
00:38:58,239 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: dice wouldn't be there, but I might. Just you know,

1038
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 3: if I wake up tomorrow and I feel great, it's

1039
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 3: guaranteed to warrior.

1040
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: You're a warrior.

1041
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 3: That's all I'm here, professional podcast. I says, got what

1042
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 3: you gotta do. I gotta wake up every morning, I

1043
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: put on my boots and then I go to work

1044
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 3: for you guys. But we've got some pitching matchups this series.

1045
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: The Mets shuffled the rotation a little bit, so now

1046
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 3: Manaia is gonna pitch on Monday against Jake Irvin, Tyler

1047
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 3: McGill against Mitchell Parker asoff on Tuesday night, and it's

1048
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 3: Wednesday's the night game. I thought it was the day games,

1049
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: the night games.

1050
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: It was that day game.

1051
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 3: I definitely can't go Wednesday anymore. But that's gonna be

1052
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: Jose Cantana versus d J. Harris. So in this series,

1053
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: six pitchers, four lefties.

1054
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of how it goes.

1055
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: Listen, this national team looks a little bit differently from

1056
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: the last time that I faced them, of course.

1057
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 3: Because they're Pasky.

1058
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: They've they've made some moves. Me and James have been

1059
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: hip to the Nationals for a minute now. They're still

1060
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: not great six one, but they can play ball. This

1061
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: is a team that can be annoying, specifically because of

1062
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 2: their young cord that they're building up right now. I'm

1063
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: gonna give flowers to Luis Garcia Junior. He's having having

1064
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: a phenomenal year to.

1065
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: Also an average to start their psychotic.

1066
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: No, but that's where I'm starting. Okay, I'm sad, I

1067
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: said starting there.

1068
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: Listen here, listen here, guy who's like, let me tell

1069
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: you about this reliever, who's gonna throw one pitch right, I.

1070
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: Don't want you to.

1071
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 2: This is my boy, Luis Garci. I love him as

1072
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: a player. He's finally coming through. Saw him play once

1073
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 2: and the guy's a ball player. But he's having a

1074
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: great year.

1075
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: I believe.

1076
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: Believe in New York native. I want to say yes,

1077
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: he's from New York City. Uh, born and raised here.

1078
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: Ce j Abrams also fantastic. Guys know about him. He

1079
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: has cooled off a little bit and he is a

1080
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 2: dog shit defender at shortstop.

1081
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: He was injured. He missed the game on Sunday, so

1082
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: up up in the air if he's gonna play or not.

1083
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 2: But the big names to talk about here James Wood,

1084
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: who we saw he's been really good. Uh, just a

1085
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: freak athlete, crazy power out of him. And they also

1086
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 2: called up the number two overall pick behind Paul Skens

1087
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: Dylan Cruz. And while he hasn't been phenomenal, you can

1088
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 2: you can see the flashes of a good baseball player.

1089
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: Dylan Cruz definitely is what we call a fun little

1090
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 3: ball player. He had a moment they put they put

1091
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: him lead off the last few games. He had the

1092
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 3: moment on the game on Friday Night where he reached

1093
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 3: the first inning on an infield single. He then stole second,

1094
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 3: and then he stole third, and he scored on er.

1095
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: He literally manufactured run himself. And that was in a

1096
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 3: game where Edward carbrera I pitched possibly the best game

1097
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 3: of his career and the Nationals had I think two

1098
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 3: base runners the rest of the game after Dylan Cruz

1099
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 3: came around to score after the infield single. Two stolen basis.

1100
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 3: So he's a guy who's doing a lot of things

1101
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 3: while he's playing pretty good defense in the outfield. Two

1102
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: he's somebody I didn't really love tremendously as a prospect.

1103
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: And again he's not hitting super well, but he's making

1104
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 3: a lot of things happen. But the true story, the

1105
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: prize jewel of this team, the prize jewel is going

1106
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 3: to be probably a baseball very soon, is James Would

1107
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 3: James Wood right now has all to make of someone

1108
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 3: who's going to become unquestioned superstar to the highest degree.

1109
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 3: The things he's doing right now without even really playing

1110
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 3: baseball well is astounding. He's twenty one years old. He's

1111
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 3: actually gonna have his twenty second birthday during the series

1112
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 3: on Tuesday nights. So yeah, not good. I don't wanted

1113
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 3: James's birthday there. That's also your a hater. It's also

1114
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 3: college a senior, so it's just a get put in perspective.

1115
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: How fucking good this guy is in sixty how many

1116
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 3: games the sixty six games this year? Is is twenty

1117
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 3: one year old. He's hitting two seventy three with through

1118
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 3: sixty four on base a four to twenty nine on

1119
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 3: base percentage, and he has seven homers and twelve steals.

1120
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 3: And those seven homers and twelve steals get even more

1121
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: impressive when you figure out that he has only pulled

1122
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 3: two fly balls as a professional hitter, two fly balls

1123
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 3: on Sunday. In his two homer game, both of his

1124
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: homers were hit the left center field. Both of them

1125
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 3: traveled at least four incher twenty six feet. He is

1126
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: stupid strong for a twenty one year old. And the

1127
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 3: twelve steals, it's gotta cost stealing seven times due the

1128
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 3: dude literally didn't fucking know what he's doing. Yet he's

1129
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 3: already like a scary good baseball player who's hitting second

1130
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 3: every single day for a national team that really isn't

1131
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 3: that fucking bad.

1132
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: No, they're not that bad, but they're also not good.

1133
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: We should beat them. We need to beat them, no

1134
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: excuse to not win the series. Really love to sweep them,

1135
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: like desperately badly.

1136
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jake Irvin, the last time you guys saw Jake Iervan,

1137
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 3: you remember, he shut us down the fourth of July.

1138
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 3: Since that happened, Jake Iervin has not pitched very well

1139
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 3: at all. He's become very Homer happy. This is a

1140
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 3: guy that we just he's curveball, curveball, curve all over

1141
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: and over again. The league figured that went out and

1142
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 3: has been back to his fastballs more so. His start

1143
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 3: on Friday, not Friday, I think it was probably last Wednesday.

1144
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 3: I think it was his first start since middle of

1145
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 3: July where he threw more fastballs than curveballs. I was like,

1146
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 3: or it was fastball something else. I had my real

1147
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: world update. I'm sick. I'm so tired right now, but

1148
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 3: ya hunt that curb won try and get went out.

1149
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 3: Mitchell Parker is a kitchen sink guy. We just gotta

1150
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 3: that's all I'm gonna say. Dj Hurs, though, has been

1151
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,479
Speaker 3: awes pretty good. They they pulled him last year for Heimer,

1152
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 3: a rental of Heimer Candelario the deadline from the Cubs,

1153
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 3: and he's been awesome. Yeah, jaymer Candelario. He's got a

1154
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: good fastball, good change up, good slider. He mixes them

1155
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 3: all really well. He's a He's a very fun little pitcher,

1156
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: someone who's been someone's been pitching basically the best ball

1157
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 3: for them and their entire rotation over the last month

1158
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 3: and a half.

1159
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: And he looks like the dude from uh Breaking Bad.

1160
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 2: Jesse Plemons, Jesse Plemmons, Yes, that's his name, Jesse Plemmons.

1161
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1162
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 2: I mean, listen the Mets with franciscool Indoor out. They

1163
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: need someone else to step up. Someone, someone has to

1164
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: step up.

1165
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 3: Pete Brace second and third, nobody out in the eighth wives.

1166
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 3: All teams conspire against the Mats.

1167
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: I hate the Dodge so much. I can't wait to

1168
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: see them get swept in the NLDS again. It's gonna

1169
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: be great.

1170
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,440

1176
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 3: They blew the game were number twenty one, which was

1177
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 3: a shame. But uh, Hillary Ramos hits the first ever

1178
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,719

1180
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 3: And the Giants find way to blow the game at

1181
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 3: tenth ending. The Brewers had hugely on. The Diamondbacks completely

1182
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 3: fall apart. And now, of course the Dodgers show Shohio

1183

1185
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:28,640

00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: one big game ever, that was for Team Japan.

1187
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,839

00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: We just didn't even know him.

1231
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he was. He was not very good.

1232
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 3: He was all over the place.

1233
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: Jose Fairer for air for air for.

1234
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Demon Sinker is ninety nine miles now ur tons

1235
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 3: of ground balls. Know he's not allowed to barrel so

1236
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 3: far this season?

1237
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 2: All right, Well, hopefully he allows one this series, going

1238
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 2: up against the Mets.

1239
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 4: Uh.

1240
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty much it for this episode.

1241
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 2: We have Frankie Peppers though, So let's see that's what

1242
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: our boys got to say before you go on, right,

1243
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: I know you stew it up a bowl and Ye's

1244
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: and it unfortunately did not come through for us, but.

1245
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 3: He tried again, Frankie. Frankie put it Franky to his

1246
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 3: part to try and make to make this happen, so

1247
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 3: every bit counts. I think Frank's gonna be positive. But

1248
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 3: he did give us just to give a sets before

1249
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 3: he gave us that picture. Oh wow, So maybe Franki's

1250
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 3: not as positive as we'd like. But here's the update

1251
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 3: from Frankie Peppers after the Philly series.

1252
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, Frankie Pepper say, you don't not doing too good.

1253
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 4: I think we all know why. I think you've probably

1254
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 4: just spent the last how with talking about why. So

1255
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do it a lot. And except

1256
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 4: that I hope our MVP gets well soon. I hope

1257
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 4: that his break is only a few games, he gets

1258
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 4: his back right, and then he's right back in the lineup.

1259
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 4: So I have a plan. Last time, I asked for

1260
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 4: some recipe ideas. The Mets won, the Mets will win

1261
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 4: and they will roll one. Okay, I'm not gonna say

1262
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 4: that it's the entire reason the Mets won, but you know,

1263
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 4: like a little Mets thump and Frankie magic, you know,

1264
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 4: with the food. Yeah, I think I think it did

1265
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 4: something good for us. So you know, I tried the

1266
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 4: bone news again yesterday on Saturday, and just the sauce

1267
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 4: was not enough today. So I need recipes. I need requests.

1268
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 4: To give me something. I'll make it anything to catch

1269
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 4: that lightning and a bottle again. Okay, boys, don't talk

1270
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 4: to you, so let's go mess. It's not over yet.

1271
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 3: I feel the pain in Frankie's voice, though, I have

1272
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 3: another tough one I gave. I got a tough recipefore,

1273
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 3: I'll split it right now, Frankie, try to give me

1274
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 3: a Carbonara. Whoa tough one. The Mets needs something here,

1275
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 3: all right. I'm throwing the golling down and Frankie, I'll

1276
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: bail them out. I'll give you an needs with Frankie.

1277
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,239
