1
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: What is up? Mets bands, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: of the Mets Stuff Podcast. Sweep, Sweep, sweepep sweep. Not

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna celebrate sweep because that's what they should have done.

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: That was everything that needed to be done. This White

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Sox team, again, I can't stress enough, is the worst

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: team to ever probably have stepped out a baseball field,

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: including the nineteen sixty two Mets. But hey, the Mets

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: went out to Chicago swept them relatively easy. Series wasn't domination,

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: wasn't smacking around like I would have preferred, but start

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: to finish, Mets really were in control of this entire series.

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: Not too too much to talk about with in these games,

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: because again we are playing a minor league baseball team,

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: so can't really dive too deep into the numbers. But

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: still a lot of really good stuff. We have a

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: voicemail episode coming from you guys as well, so we're

26
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: everybody out there. I hope you're enjoying your days off.

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: September started, and the Mets right now are sitting two

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: games out of the National League Wild Card. Again, it

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: felt like there was well it's one and a half,

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: I guess technically because the Braves Phillies game hasn't happened yet.

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: Let's go Phillies. Let's go Phillies. Can't stress that enough.

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: But feeling pretty good after this weekend, I think that's

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: exactly what the Mets and Mets fans needed. A nice sweep,

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah badly.

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: Just if you would have lost a game to this

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: White Sox team, I think it would have been a

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: disaster because you you have to beat this team three times,

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: and the Mets didn't win these games particularly easily, which

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: is weird to say, but they only allowed four runs

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: the whole weekend. But also just like like there there

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: was at least a moment in every game where I

42
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: was like, this doesn't feel great, starting with Tyler mcgal

43
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: when he started that game poorly on Friday and I

44
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: was like, this kid, this just literally can't be happening

45
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: right now.

46
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: What was the text you sent me? I gotta I'm

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna pull it up real quick, text that you sent me.

48
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: Let's see, Julie McGill, if you're listening to this, I'm

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: really sorry. I was in the heat of the moment

50
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: and I started Tyler in a fancy matchup that really,

51
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: really really needed a good start. Oh, here it is.

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I got upset. I got upset, read the text McGill

53
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: fucking sucks. I'm so tired of this pussy, and then

54
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: about an hour later three carrots and saying I think

55
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: I fixed them. It's true.

56
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: I think that was it. But he was really I mean,

57
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: he was good. I get nothing mad. That's because it

58
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: was against the White Sox, but also like it was good.

59
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: He was good.

60
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: Katana Saturday same, totally fine. He was against the White Sox.

61
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: But if it I'm coming home for hosing. Katana didn't know.

62
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: Did he get a tribute to the video board.

63
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: I have no clue that I watched as little as

64
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: possible of these games because the Chicago White Sox are

65
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: genuine that's that's unenjoyable baseball. Like, if you're a White

66
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Sox fan, I totally get not wanting to turn on TV.

67
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: If you're a baseball fan, it is impossible to watch.

68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: There's almost almost not a single thing of interest with

69
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: that entire team right now.

70
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: We had a bes on the G's moment from my

71
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: buddy sucks in Chicago. I think might be sending a

72
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: voicemail to this game lives out Chicago, diehard Mets fan

73
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: diheard listening to Messed Up podcast after the think I've

74
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: told the story the first time.

75
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, got a podcast bout the Mets.

76
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: Should listen to it. He was like, broughab only a

77
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: fucking podcast. I watch all the things. This guy, Yeah,

78
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: now he.

79
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: Loves the show.

80
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: But he said he went to the games on Saturday

81
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: and Sunday, possibly Friday as well, but he said Sunday

82
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: he walked into the park, No one checked his ticket,

83
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: just walked into the stadium. No one said where it's,

84
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 2: No one scanned it, no one scanned just entered.

85
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: Through the through the door. They're like, if you want

86
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: to come, sure, get in here. It was dangerous. I

87
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: don't know about that one.

88
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: I mean Friday didn't have that bad of a crowd though,

89
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: but just you can kind of feel like the uh,

90
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, is it like sadness. It's just like

91
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: there's such a horrible malaise over that franchise right now.

92
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: It's terrible.

93
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: It's a real shame with Jerry Hinstorff has done to them,

94
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: because I'm not gonna call them a proud organization, but

95
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: they at least an organization that has had a modic

96
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: come of success sometimes at least here and there in

97
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: their franchise.

98
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we do forget that they they also had

99
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: like a ninety eighty year drought between the Black Socks

100
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: and when they won in the mid two thousands, Like

101
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: this Chicago for some reason, like just was cursed with

102
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: baseball for about ninety years in total, which is kind

103
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: of insane to think about that both teams were so

104
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: insanely unsuccessful. But the White Socks are like one of

105
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: the original baseball teams, So for them to be as

106
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: bad as they are, like having their worst season ever,

107
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: they've already lost more games than they've ever lost in

108
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: a season, which is crazy because again, this team has

109
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: basically been playing baseball since the nineteen hundreds. This isn't

110
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: like the Diamondbacks of the Rockies, who have been around

111
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: for thirty years. Worst season they've had in their history.

112
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: They've been around since the beginning of baseball set nineteen

113
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: oh one, nineteen oh one, and they have the most

114
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: losses ever in a franchise and there is still a

115
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: full month of baseball left. They're a strong fan base,

116
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: like they are good baseball fans. I think out in Chicago,

117
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: especially on the South Side with the White Sox, it

118
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: is just a little bit of a travesy because I

119
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: don't even know if they're they're not really tanking for

120
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: a purpose. Like it's not like you're like there's a

121
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, There's a Stephen Strasburg coming out in the

122
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: draft next year. There's pretty much just we're gonna stink

123
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: because we want to save money. And that's kind of

124
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: the biggest problem, which is also confusing because then they

125
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: did give Andrew benin Tendy the biggest contract in franchise

126
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: history to a free agent last year, so they had

127
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: one bad season, decide we're going to be as bad

128
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: as we physically can be, and we're gonna waste Luis

129
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Robert's most precious years.

130
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: Ever, I think it's more they knew how far away

131
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: they were after the last few years it didn't work out,

132
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: so they were like, instead of just staying in the middle,

133
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: like we tried we've tried to do for a while

134
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: on that, let's just literally gut the entire thing. Resets

135
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: the entire thing. They probably have seven or eight major

136
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: league players, the entire forty man roster. They made all

137
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 2: those weird traits in the offseason try and just acquire

138
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: volume to fill out was bad. Yeah, there were their

139
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: roster spots. You got guys like Brandon Shoemake and who

140
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: else they get here, Soca Soroka, mcgl vargas, I got

141
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 2: that Jacob Amaya. Like they just they've been pulling guys

142
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: from other teams who like, maybe they can give us

143
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: something that they didn't give that team. It's just it's

144
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: it's kind of embarrassing, especially considering they again, they've been

145
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: a franchise for one hundred twenty years. They play in

146
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: the second biggest metropolitan area in the entire country. It's

147
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: almost do have also a feel weird like Midwest Mets feel,

148
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: because like, relative to the Cubs, I think they're not

149
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: the most beloved team in the city. And they've also

150
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: done the thing the Mets have done a lot in

151
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: their history where like, oh, let's get the old veteran,

152
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: let's get him on this team, Let's have him play

153
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: the last three years of his career poorly for us

154
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: and say we have a star.

155
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: And also, these two teams will always.

156
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: Be intertwined because Tom sever won his three hundredth game

157
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: as a member of the White Sox in Yankee Stadium,

158
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: which is one of the most fucked up stats in

159
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: the history at baseball. But there's always that feeling here.

160
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: But again, just thank thank the Lord above that the

161
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: Mets were able to take these three games because we

162
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: need them so badly.

163
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, desperately needed them badly. It's nice to see that

164
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: the Padres looked human a little bit. They lost a

165
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: game or two of the Rays, one game to the Rays.

166
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks have been getting beat by the Dodgers, which

167
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: is nice, although today I think they smack the Dodgers around,

168
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: which that's gonna happen and Yang little baseball and hopefully

169
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: the Phillies can take care of the Braves and take

170
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: another one off of them, which be so big. So

171
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: big put us a game out going into our series

172
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: against the Red Sox on Monday, the day you guys

173
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: are listening to us. But end of the day, this

174
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: is a series like we said that had to be one,

175
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: should be one, was one and start to finish. They

176
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: did just kind of take care of business as little

177
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: as possible, if that makes sense, But they did get

178
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: the job done, like in Game one with McGill on

179
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: the mound offensively, Jad Martinez a home run, huge for us.

180
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker I want to talk about a little bit too.

181
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: He's been hot, phenomenal. He's really starting to look comfortable

182
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: in this line plate. Yeah, at the plate, I mean

183
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: in the field. He's never been great. Who cares? It

184
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: still matter? If it's like this, It's fine. The one

185
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: thing I think we do need to talk about is

186
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: Mendoza's use though of what he does with Winker, Slash

187
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: Tyrone Taylor or whoever's else going to fill in for him.

188
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 1: We gave him a little bit of crap the last

189
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: episode about hitting Tyrone Taylor fifth, hitting Starling Marte early

190
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: in the lineup if you're going to take him out

191
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: of the game as early for defense. Now on the

192
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: flip side here, he's been pulling Jesse Winker, I think

193
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: too early from games. He's been pulling him, like in

194
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: the fifth or sixth inning of a two run game.

195
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: It's bizarre.

196
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: On Sunday he put him in the game in the

197
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: fourth inning when came out for Tyrone Taylor's It's just

198
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: funny how quick and jumping these outfielders. But I think

199
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: a big part of is that he does want to

200
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: keep every single guy warm. He wants to keep every

201
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: single guy in the game as many consecutive days as possible.

202
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: I don't think he wants saying these guys have a

203
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: day where they just sit the whole time, like Mendoza.

204
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: And I think something he does well of the managers

205
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: do poorly's he uses that bench like you have the bench,

206
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: you use the guys do that? Blow ray Is today, Yeah,

207
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: there you go, scoring that big run from first in

208
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: the double Actually pretty nice played by loser Bear off

209
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: the wall. But it's just it's a it's a little

210
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: too active in the game. It's a little bit too

211
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: anxious trying to do every single thing he has to do.

212
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: Mendoz like, yeah, sometimes, Tyrone Taylor, I think in Game

213
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: two came up with an opportunity on Saturday where it

214
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: was like I think five or three to one at

215
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: the time, first and third, Jesse Winkers spot would have

216
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: been up, but it was Tyrone Taylor instead. Tyrone Taylor

217
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: struck out. Love Tyrone great ballplayer, we know that, but

218
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: it would have been nice to have Jesse Winker up, especially

219
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: because it's still early enough in the game where I

220
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: don't think his defense is gonna make that much of

221
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: an impact where his bat can. So I didn't love that. Again,

222
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: the Mets one. So we're just kind of picking and

223
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: picking a little bit things to keep an eye out for. Also,

224
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: shouts to the bullpen. Again, not a good lineup, but

225
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: they did a really good job on Game one or

226
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: Game two. Yeah. Game two, no walks out of the bullpen,

227
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: which is phenomenal. Uh, the same with game one. Yeah,

228
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: same with Game one, which was incredible, just no walks

229
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: from the bullpen, and then even on Sunday, no walks

230
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: from the bullpen. The bullpen did not have a single

231
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: walk in this series. Again, it's the White Sox. Everything

232
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: with a grain of salt. But a lot of times

233
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: in baseball, these things are mental, These things are vibes.

234
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: Whyse we saw how that changed for the Mets after

235
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: Jorge Lopez got kicked out and they really start to

236
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: just change things up a little bit here. Maybe this

237
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: can just be something that pushes the Mets forward. Garrett

238
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: had two good outings like that's so big, I think

239
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: for his mental game, just knowing like I still got

240
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Edwin Diaz looked really good on Sunday.

241
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: Dominant Friday just dominant too. All things to build on,

242
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: which is good because we do have some big series

243
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: again continuing to come up.

244
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Friday situation, Edwin Diaz thought was funny, and

245
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: I think you and I and probably some other Mets

246
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 2: fans were to be nice, like we're confused about it

247
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: in the moment because Edwin Diaz came into this game

248
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: for his third game in three days after blowing the

249
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: save on Wednesday against the Dimonbacks, grabbing the save on

250
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: Thursday game. As to dying back because I'm pitching this

251
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: game where the Mets scored the run, made the full

252
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: run game in the ninth inning. So then the downside,

253
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: just the conversation about this where it doesn't make any sense.

254
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 2: This was the first time Edwin's been used in three

255
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: consecutive games this entire year, the first time that's been happened,

256
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 2: that's happened since it was either June or July of

257
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. So even when he was at his

258
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: absolute best in twenty twenty two and the team was

259
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: ripping down the stretch trying to do everything they could

260
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs. Again, probably some wrong decisions were

261
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: made there by other by people who are making them,

262
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: but they never called on Edwin once the whole second

263
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: half of that year to work three straight days. So

264
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: this is the first time doing that, And I do

265
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: think that now the flip side that the positive is

266
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: I think that some of this was about Edwin staying

267
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 2: in rhythm, because apparently they've said that something going to

268
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: hurt him in those two audlings. Was that there are a

269
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: lot of times in a few weeks before where Edwin

270
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: got hot, was ready to come in and then sat

271
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: back down because the Mets scored runs.

272
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: That happened this game. The Mets were only up by three.

273
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: They scored one run the ninth inning.

274
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: He had gotten hot, so they're just like, yeah, put

275
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: him in, keep him on rhythm, keep his routine intact,

276
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: and the same thing happened. Not the same thing happened,

277
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: but he just he looked dominanting that outing, and then

278
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: he came in and only on one day of rest

279
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: after three consecutive outings, and looked not as good but

280
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: still quite good again on Sunday. So I think this

281
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: probably is a thing with Edwin where I didn't love

282
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: it in a vacuum that they were like, let's use

283
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: him for three straight times the first time in nineteen months.

284
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: But you flip that back and you're like, Okay, maybe

285
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: it's more about him being in rhythm, him saying this

286
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: will help me be better in the future if I

287
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: do this, even though you guys might think it's weird.

288
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, after the performance on Friday night, by that, that's

289
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: kind of what it felt like in retrospect, Like looking back,

290
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: it had to be an Edwin Daz thing, had to

291
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: be something that they've spoken about, like you've got to

292
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: use me, you've got to use me, and to be

293
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: fair on Sunday one of his sharp routings, So maybe

294
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: there is something to Edwin Diaz staying warm, staying sharp,

295
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: being on top of it like that.

296
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: I didn't think some days wing to be sharp, Brad.

297
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 2: I think there were a lot of pitches outside the

298
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: strikes on he threw it so like he was getting

299
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: really chased though, so true, he just had some really

300
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: convenient misses because he was still missing armside, which is

301
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: something that we've talked about with him, and the mechanics

302
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 2: aren't right, but he was just missing arm side that

303
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: guy's eyes, and then he was throwing those sliders darting

304
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: low and away, So I think it was just really good.

305
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: That was effectively wild Friday too, he was nine nine

306
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: fastballs and one slider to piggyback on the adding from

307
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: Thursday where he wasn't throwing many sliders again. He went

308
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 2: back to the slither on Sunday, which I think that

309
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: might have been the.

310
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Best a slytherer looked all year.

311
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: I'll give you that one, but I still think I

312
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: don't know it's it's it's it's still tread lightly situation

313
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 2: with Edwin, but it feels better than it did one week.

314
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: Could go for sure. Yeah, No, definitely, and and something

315
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: that we need to see moving forward. We need Edwin

316
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: Dz to be lights out and hopefully using him more

317
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: helps him because he definitely had some crazy time in between.

318
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: Could I be an asshole? Yes, I'm gonna talk about

319
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill. What do you want to talk about?

320
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: Uh, he did change one thing. I just gotta do it, asshole.

321
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Then yeah, go for it.

322
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: And uh when he went to the minor leagues, I'm

323
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 2: just like meeting anshole. I'm gonna tell people a reason

324
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: two percent excited about Tyler McGill again, because one day

325
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: he's going to have a good season. It might not

326
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: be for the Mets, but I'm telling you, one day,

327
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: this guy's gonna be good somehow someway, Yeah, Brewers, Tigers, Dodgers, Astros,

328
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: Mariners Orioles, someone somewhere, somehow, some way, one year he's

329
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 2: gonna be like Tyler mcchilly always had them. But he

330
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: went back and started working a lot, apparently in a

331
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: two seamer when he went to Triple A, and he

332
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: came back up and used that two seamer, and like

333
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: you love, especially against the righties in this one, every

334
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: single one was in their hands he only gave that

335
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: I think three or four hard hit balls the whole game.

336
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: It was the fact that he was able to command

337
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: the pitch that he really starts to work into his

338
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: repertoire more recently. I thought was really I thought it

339
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: was a big deal. And I think that if he

340
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 2: does have to pitch again next time out, because I

341
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: know it's the day that Paul Blackbird's eligible the next

342
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: star against the Reds that's coming this week.

343
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: I think it's Friday, Saturday, Thursday, whenever it is. I

344
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: don't know.

345
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: It might not be the worst thing in the world,

346
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: because I mean, I'd like to see him face a

347
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: major League Baseball team with that two seamer. But it

348
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: was just a nice wrinkle for a guy that seems

349
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: really like he's trying to keep that pitch cat lower

350
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: and get some weak contact.

351
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: Good which is always something that we've talked about with mcgil.

352
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: He needs to attack more, he needs to attack more,

353
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: he needs to get some of those easy outs, because

354
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: it feels like him and even Peterson, who that's been

355
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: a big thing that he's changed too. Being more aggressive

356
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: in the zone. Getting the soft contact has been huge

357
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: for Peterson. Hopefully McGill can follow in his shoes. What

358
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: else is there to talk about here? On the pitching side,

359
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: watscar Brosebond still scares the shit out of me when

360
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: he steps on the mound.

361
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: I mean on the pitching side, Seum and I being

362
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: like an actual legitimate ace, which is something that has happened,

363
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: and it's been happening, and now it keeps happening. It's like,

364
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 2: holy fucking shit, like this actually happens to make a

365
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: lot of money. Really is He's gonna be one hundred

366
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: million dollars? Like is gonna make one hundred million dollars

367
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 2: because of what Jeremy Hefnara and the Mets have done

368
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: to him?

369
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: Which is, who's what's the what's the pitching free agent class? Like, sure,

370
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: I know it's corbyin right, Corbin Burns is the Borbin

371
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: freed Kershaw. I think, technically, yeah, but that's not that's

372
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: not real. I got the name for I got the

373
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: names for you. So for unrestricted free agents that are

374
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: starting pitchers next year. And again, this is great for

375
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Sean and I are not great for the Mets. It's

376
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna be Verlanders, Scherzer, Corbin Charlie Morton, Corbyn Burns, Max Fried,

377
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty, Ayle Hendrik, Shane Bieber, jose A quintanas, A Reno,

378
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: a lot of our guys, Koch de Sclafani, Andrew Heaney.

379
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: Minaya is gonna clean up because he's one of the best,

380
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: and he also isn't one hundred years old. It's him

381
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: and Kokuchi in that tier below like the free than

382
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns, which is is kind of hilarious. But again,

383
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: like you said a few depats ago, like we talked about,

384
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: it's a great stamp of approval on the Mets. We

385
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: are now the rehabilitation home for pictures seeking a one

386
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: year deal. Who think they're better. It's gonna be Shane

387
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Bieber next year, Walker Buehler, Walker Bueher, Shane Bieber, Bieber

388
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: Bieber got the Timmy John in April or May, so

389
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: we might miss most of next year.

390
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: It's going to be Walker Buler next ye. I'm gonna

391
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: put my stamp on right now. Walker Bill's gonna sign

392
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: a one year, fifteen million dollar contract to come join

393
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: the Met. You know who else is a free agent?

394
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Who your boy? Who? Nick Pavetta.

395
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: I'd give him give him a bag that guy's awesome.

396
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm here, you guys are gonna be insufferable asking for

397
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: Nick Pavetta in the offseason. But Jerry Blevins talked a

398
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: lot in the end of the post game on Sunday

399
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: about Manyah dropping alarm slot helping him get more rising

400
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: action that two seamer, like we've talked about a few

401
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: episodes ago, and then adds deception to both a sweeper

402
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: and the change up because they're able to. I didn't

403
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: really understand what he was saying whatever, he was just

404
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: having that they all getting that release point low where

405
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: he said, help those pitches tunnel off for one another,

406
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: and it got more deception on him.

407
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you a video. Don't know if you

408
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: saw it, but Trevor May was breaking down why Josh

409
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: haters two seamer is like so insanely disgusting. I have

410
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: watched that one. I have watched that one. Yeah, and

411
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: then talking about like the horseshoe movement and basically how

412
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: it gets some appearance that's wobbling along, yeah, which might

413
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: be what is Maniya doing that too?

414
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: I said before the game talking to the guys that

415
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: he's been trying to get more seam shifted wake on

416
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: those pitches, and so I guess the release point probably

417
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: helped them do that. Again, seam shift would wake just

418
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: as I don't understand it's super it's something that's way

419
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: out there, but it's something it's like again, like Mark

420
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: just said, it.

421
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Makes the ball wobble as it comes through.

422
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: So you're not so it's spinning, but the fact that

423
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: it's wobbling, it's getting movement that's not exactly spin related.

424
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because relatively like when you're when you're looking at

425
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: a baseball, I wish I had, Oh, I do have

426
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: one around me? Let me grab it real quick. Yeah,

427
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: I grab the baseball three hours lay tell for those

428
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: of you watching on YouTube, for those of you not

429
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: bad for you, sorry, But like with the four team,

430
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: the way that spins out of your hand, it's gonna

431
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: spin this way. There's there is a pattern you see

432
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: even though it's spinning so fast, for there's still something

433
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: that you can tell, and it's it's gonna be like

434
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: this this see this kind of horseshoe kind of thing.

435
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: When you're throwing the two seamer, you see a different

436
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: pattern and it's a different look. That's why the ball

437
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: moves differently. What they're saying with Hater, at least in

438
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: this video is because of the way that he throws

439
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: it and because of how much spin he gets. There's

440
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: this appearance of a wobble that the way the ball

441
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: is moving, and it makes it kind of almost flutter

442
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: and dance a little bit while getting that rising action

443
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: and coming in on you if you're a left end

444
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: of the hitter, which makes it so hard to track

445
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: and hit it.

446
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: And another way to kind of simply put it is

447
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: that it makes a two seamer kind of act to

448
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: a four seemer.

449
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we've talked about this a lot with Tyler Rodgers.

450
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: Really how he goes underhanded with the slider and it

451
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: makes a slider rise and the fastball drop, which is

452
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: kind of funny. But all these things together is terminia

453
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: into legitimately a guy that is going to get down

454
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: ballot cy young votes. He's doing right now in the

455
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: second half and just like since the end of June,

456
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: really what Kodai Sanga did last year and he got

457
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 2: all this critical acclaim like this is how good manayas

458
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: been is. He alreadys down at three point three five,

459
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 2: which is stupid and This is my favorite stat because

460
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: this is the pure James Jenks stat of the day.

461
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: But when June ended, Sean Maaya had not completed seven

462
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: innings in a start in like a year and a half,

463
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: or maybe did it once with the Giants or twice

464
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: the Giants. Since July first, he's done it seven times

465
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: and twelve starts. That's the most in baseball. He's become

466
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: one of the league's true workhorses. I you can't even

467
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: make that shit up. Like we pushed that one right

468
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: into existence, and it's it's amazing. And Carls Mendos after

469
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: the game is like, I see Manaias are one.

470
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: Now he is orace. He's pitching that way. He's earned

471
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: that right. Yeah, he's been incredible. I mean the the

472
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: whip is under one in his last fifteen starts, his

473
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: last seven starts zero point seven to eight whip a

474
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: two four to two ERA, forty four and two thirds

475
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: innings and seven starts with fifty three strikeouts nine walks.

476
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: That right there, the nine walks to strikeouts is just.

477
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: Like that sex, especially when that was his problem before,

478
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: Like it was lata walks and strikeouts and it caused

479
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: the short their adding to his pitchhoun go up. Now,

480
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: the fact that he's being more aggressive, he's getting more

481
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: swings and misses in that two seamer. He's not as

482
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: afraid to throw that in the zone because no hitterers

483
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: aren't gonna be able to hit it. It's a whole

484
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: new pitcher. It's just he's it's it's amazing what he's done.

485
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: And again it's gotta be hats off to Jeremy Afner

486
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: for this one where I don't know where everyone's at,

487
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: but they want.

488
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: To hate this guy. Yeah, if anybody is a doubter

489
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: of him, this this right here, Look look at what

490
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: he's doing. He searched Trump and I into what everybody

491
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: thought Trump and I could have been at that point.

492
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: But this is what he could be. This is nonsense. No, no, no,

493
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: I'm not saying with the Mets. I'm saying, like when

494
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: was coming up, when Serump and I was coming up,

495
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: people were like, this could be a future frontline starter.

496
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: He's now hitting that stride thanks to Jeremy Hefner, and

497
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: I can't wait for can't wait to see what's gonna

498
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: go on there because he's he's been incredible and I

499
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: hope he keeps pitching as well as he has. The

500
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: Mets really needed, really needed totally. I got some other

501
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: just silly, silly stats from this series J J. Martinez.

502
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: I think he's swinging the bat a lot better. He

503
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 2: said he's heating up. He still don't feel like he's

504
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: hot yet. But from May sixth to July first, he

505
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: only had two off days. As the Mets are on

506
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: that run, playing well, but he was banging bad them

507
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: playing well, But it seemed like he kind of fell

508
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: off a little bit after that stretch and he got tired.

509
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: He's got four off days.

510
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: In his last twenty eight games alone, saws twenty eight

511
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: Mets games alone, and now he's starting to hit better games.

512
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: I think it's nice day he's getting those breaks and

513
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: doing that. And also, Lindor hit the big home run

514
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday, the only run scored in this game until

515
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: the top of the ninth inning, thirty game on bass streak.

516
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: Just got his new career high with the home run Sunday,

517
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: and he has a hit in twenty seven of those

518
00:19:59,320 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: thirty games.

519
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: He is, Uh, he's pretty incredible. I think he's on

520
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: a twelve game hitch streak now. As well inside that

521
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: thirty base on game streak and how great is this?

522
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: On omb dot com we can get his live stats

523
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: for the last thirty games. Seven homers seventeen RBIs three

524
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: twenty average, three sixty five on base five seventy slugging

525
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: For those of you at home, that's an OPS in

526
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: the nine hundreds. Oh yeah, and he plays goal glove defense.

527
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he is just he said, he's everything.

528
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: I love him, and it's like one of my favorite

529
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: stats in the world. Right now, he has a higher

530
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: WRC plus than either of his huge big years in

531
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, because in those years, the

532
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: ball was bullshit and the league was bullshit, and that's

533
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: why we have to get Jake de grim aldacret in

534
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 2: the world.

535
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: Fleet did pitching in those two years.

536
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: However, right now, in terms of league context, this is

537
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: the best Francisco Indoor has ever hit in his entire career.

538
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: September first, twenty nine homers eighty RBIs twenty five stolen

539
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: bases eight thirty one ops. That is literally higher than

540
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: his average slash line ops. He's having the best year

541
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: of his career. James, you called it months ago.

542
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: I told you because it was happening.

543
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: He's been locked in since and I just pready got

544
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: this team is good enough, and maybe show how he

545
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: winds up forty eight forty nine so he doesn't have

546
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: that clean fifty fifty number to get so we can

547
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: get Lindor in MVP.

548
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: Did you hear the story about Lindor and the smile

549
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: stuff with him and why he apparently does once a

550
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: month he brings in uh at risk youth I guess

551
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: into city field or wherever he does it to give

552
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: like almost like a lesson about how important dental health is. Stop.

553
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: Lindor's a big dental health guy, and apparently you're just

554
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: even the health guy. I care about dental health. I

555
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: think dentists and orthodontists are overrated, but I care about

556
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: brush your teeth every day, take care of him. I

557
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: just don't think you need to go and six months

558
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: to have a dentist tell you, oh, I'm gonna clean

559
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: your teeth, and then go you have no cavities, give

560
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: me money. I think that's where they're a scam. But

561
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: I can't.

562
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: I can't wait until we have the dentist. Noorthodontis listening

563
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: to the show they're now anti markers. He's the Oh,

564
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: super It's that's fine, you know what, That's fine. I'm

565
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: glad with dentists being anti mark You can like James

566
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: still like the podcast, you can hate me. But end

567
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: of the day, Uh, where was I going with the story?

568
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: Wrapping it up? Lindor was super self conscious, had really

569
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: bad teeth as a case, and I guess had braces

570
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: kind of late in his life growing up, so he

571
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: was he hated smiling because he hated the braces. His

572
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: teeth throw drank up as we know now, gorgeous smile,

573
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: great teeth on him. I think somebody the best literally

574
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: his nickname, mister Smile. So they were telling a story

575
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: about how ironic it is that Franciscoolndor hated smiling as

576
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: a kid because he had bad teeth, didn't really take

577
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: care of them for a while. And now that's what

578
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: he's known for, is having one of the best smiles

579
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: in baseball. I love that.

580
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's just one of the most beautiful

581
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: things about baseball in this wonderful game. You could put

582
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: all that together and help help the people.

583
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: All right, you wonder, let's let's pick let's pick a

584
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: voicemail right now, let's go on voicemails.

585
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: I want to do one more dumb stat about this series.

586
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: And then because what if they asked the question that

587
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 2: dumb stack could come into the question. There's no way

588
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: this comes in. But this is just a bus is

589
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: a personal hill. I like to die and you know

590
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: I like to die in this hill for a long time.

591
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: That the stat line drive rate is poppy cock. It's

592
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 2: bully nat, It's complete bullshit. Because Gary dropped a quote

593
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: in the series. Is a lot of credit to Garian

594
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: Ron the series doing anything they can to give the

595
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: White Sox.

596
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: Like anything to talking about. Also amazing. Did you see

597
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: the spider walk across the camera on Friday before the tailor?

598
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: I was on a flight.

599
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So in the like the first or second ending,

600
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 2: a spider walked across the camera lens for SA and

601
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 2: why what those are? And the spider was hanging out

602
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: on the camera lens were on the camera. It looked

603
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: like it was all the way down the right field line,

604
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: which is exactly where in like the six or seventh

605
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: inning of this game, Tyron Taylor made the exact catch

606
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: spider manning in the net that Jeff McNeil made same

607
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: time of year in twenty nineteen and did the same

608
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 2: thing where the spider was standing on the camera.

609
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: Do they have fences or the netting further down than

610
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: most teams, because I swear I've never seen anybody do

611
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: these catchers except the Mets players in Chicago. It's looser too.

612
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: It's a nice net But back to the point, Gary

613
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: said that Gavin Cheese has the highest line drive rate

614
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: in baseball, which would tell everybody forever that line drive

615
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: rate is a fake stat that should never be sighted ever.

616
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: I technically hard ground balls that like one hop second

617
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: base I think counted as line drives, right, I think.

618
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: They do it if it's over ten degrees, launch angle

619
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: in less than like twenty seven degrees, lunch angles, which

620
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: you could a top.

621
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: Spin ten degrees and that could be a ground ball. Yeah. Yeah.

622
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: And Garyan Rowl was talking about lot Jngle because they

623
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 2: were saying if someone there, because they did the thing that,

624
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: like I think a lot of people have realized, wh

625
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: Abazon jungle also is not a real stat because correct

626
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: if you have a pit a pop up sixty degrees

627
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 2: and ground ball zero degrees, it comes out to thirty degrees,

628
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: thirty degrees amazing, sixteen zeroble horrible.

629
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: So I think he is a dumb stat. I'll just

630
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: a couple a couple of dumb stats there, all right,

631
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: pull out your phone because you got the better mic

632
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: for me this episode here, and uh, I'm gonna say,

633
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: let's start off with Jack. Jack. I think he was

634
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: the first one that gave us, gave us a message

635
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: and he said, let's go. Louiener, so he's he's ready

636
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: to roll on this one. Okay, I'm doing it right now,

637
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: loot them up. Good podcasting. Shack. Is he in the general?

638
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: He's in general general? Okay, he's in general. Well, we

639
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: have a bunch here, nice. Yeah, we got some good ones.

640
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: So let's see what Jack's gotta say. All right, here

641
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: we go, Jack, what's up?

642
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: Louiener and Jeter had no range, great series in Chicago.

643
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 3: All I gotta say is Semester back, absolutely no doubt.

644
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: Chessa winkers a stud film. Aton's looking like Trevor Hoffman

645
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: coming out of the bullpen. You got guys Schlutching right

646
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 3: coming up, big Red, Garrett Splitter looks good. You got

647
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 3: Christian Scott throwing bullpens. Maybe Senga's coming back for the

648
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 3: Braves series.

649
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: That would be big.

650
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 3: I know everyone's fixated on the Braves right now, but

651
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the d Backs. Their schedule for the

652
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 3: next month is pretty rough. I know they're smoking the

653
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: Dodgers right now, but who cares about that?

654
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: Dodgers are frauds as well.

655
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: And do you know, if we have a really good

656
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: home stand here, I might be ready to say the

657
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: forbidden phrase that the Mets are winning at all. But

658
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 3: we'll have to see LFGM. Love what you guys do over.

659
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: There, all right? Jack, Jack brought the heat. Jack brought

660
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: the heat. Thank you. He said two things I will

661
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: not say this year. That first one about the Mets

662
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: being something and the second one about the Mets winning something.

663
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: Those will not come out of my mouth this year.

664
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: I've not said it. Now we're in September, I haven't

665
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: said it yet. I've refused to because it feels like

666
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the case of death. Jack said it,

667
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: not us, But yeah, he was right. I mean, I mean,

668
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: Mayton looked really good too, and great in the bullpenal

669
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: since we picked them up, and Rigarrett splitter was working.

670
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 4: Now.

671
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's also because the White Sox

672
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: have bad hitters and they were able to chase it

673
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: more because they stink. But we'll take you for what

674
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: it is, and he's right. We'll get into the Diamondbacks.

675
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: We want to. We want to push multiple teams out

676
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: of here. Just keep winning baseball games. Hope they start

677
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: to lose, which they definitely can.

678
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: I said, we have another request, but I can't find this.

679
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: You can go on the Instagram and find it. But

680
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do one from our guy Brandon, who has

681
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: been He's been trying to get in this voicemail for

682
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: attle while now, so Brandon's voicemail coming at you.

683
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: This was a.

684
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 5: Very, very big series for us. We had to win this.

685
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 5: I'm glad we swept. Now we go home and we

686
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 5: have to take care of business against the Red Sox

687
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 5: and the Reds. This is critical, critical, critical, critical for

688
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 5: us to win. We can get in if we keep winning,

689
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 5: but everyone needs to step up. I think Pete had

690
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 5: a pretty good series, Lindor. I love the MVP chans,

691
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 5: it's fucking great. And other than that, I think Nimmel

692
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 5: had okay series, But I think he could be better.

693
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 5: I think he's playing hurt but at left GM. This

694
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 5: is the best podcast. I love you guys, and let's

695
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 5: fucking go Mets.

696
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: Let's fucking go Mets. Thanks Brandon, I Go Mets, Brandon.

697
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 2: It's funny this kind of like sports radio, but with

698
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: some critsis. We maybe should give like a directive next voicemail,

699
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 2: tell people ask a question or come with something ready

700
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: to go, because we don't screen these Beforehanks we wanted.

701
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: We want to be surprised along with you guys, So

702
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna pick another random one we do.

703
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: Hold on. It's also funny you can tell who listens

704
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: to New York's talk radio like sports radio and who doesn't,

705
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: because they all do the same pauses that all these

706
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: guys do where it's like say something three seconds, let

707
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: you sit, here's my next thought, like they and you're

708
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: a WFN guy, I know, so you know that well.

709
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: But I've like I've been watching some old clips of

710
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: just francessoor Don Lagreca like freaking out, like doing their

711
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: nonsense thing, and it is so funny that all these

712
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: guys at the end of they do all just keep

713
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: the same cadence with different voices of accents. Yeah right,

714
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: all right, we got another one coming here from Jason.

715
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 6: So, guys love the pod. I think this is your

716
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 6: best season yet, maybe for obvious reasons, but anyway, I've

717
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 6: been listening for a couple of years and I think

718
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 6: it's great, so very much appreciate it. Anyway, My question

719
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 6: is a bit open ended. It's about Mendoza. I think

720
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 6: he's been fantastic with the lineup. I've loved his flexibility

721
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 6: and his willingness to shake the lineup up in ways

722
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 6: that especially guys like Buck have not been in the past.

723
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 6: But having said that, his bullpen management, to me, leaves

724
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 6: a good amount to be desired. It feels like he's

725
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 6: always pulling guys early, or pulling them too late, or

726
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 6: not giving relievers clean innings and maybe overusing guys and

727
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 6: even Newtonia is coming back from the Ali then gives

728
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 6: them two innings for some reason, then he gets hurt again.

729
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 6: So I know that you guys love him, so I'd

730
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 6: love to hear the argument that you guys have in

731
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 6: defense of him all around, not just with regards to

732
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 6: the lineup, but also with regards to the bullpen. Also,

733
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 6: i'd like to hear why you guys hate Gelb so much,

734
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 6: But if you don't answer that part, it's all right anyway,

735
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 6: I appreciate it. Thanks guys.

736
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: I'll answer Gelbs really quickly. Yeah, there's like there's like

737
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: no actual real hatred for him, like he's a nice

738
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: guy or whatever. It's just that when we worked with

739
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: the team and we were on the field, everybody else

740
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: would say hello. He never once looked at us and

741
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: said hello. That's really it.

742
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone was really friendly. There was one moment at

743
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: spring training when we were there last year where I

744
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: was standing talking to Will Salmon, shout out Will Samon

745
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: with the athletic, great guy, great reporter, big Mets fans.

746
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: Will Well's awesome. It does amazing work. I mean him,

747
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: were just like talking to a conversations. We're talking about

748
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: the roster, pete or something, and Steve stands like in

749
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: front of me and to ask Will something, and he

750
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: just walks away and like doesn't even acknowledge that we

751
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: were in the middle of a conversation. I was like,

752
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: all right, I think this guy's just kind of I

753
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: don't know, he's got a little little popas flare about him.

754
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean the guys on this and why. The last

755
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: few people have had that have gone into great things.

756
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: So I think he probably just thought he's a little

757
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: bit above us. Again, we've never actually spoke to the

758
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: guy because it seemed like he wanted nothing to ever

759
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: do with us, and look the other way anytime we

760
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: were in the same room. But whatever, he's fine. There's

761
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: no like actual outside him. It's just fun. Now it's

762
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: a bit yeah. Now it's like if anybody calls a moonface,

763
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: you know it comes from us.

764
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: Like that's great, And that's also another thing we'd like

765
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: to do with you guys, like keep these little things

766
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: going together. But then back to the Jason's question about Mendoza,

767
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: I think that I don't think we like love Mendoza.

768
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: I think Mendoz like unfallible. I just think that in

769
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: terms of like what you can do for a modern manager,

770
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: I think the most important things for sure in the

771
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: game right now.

772
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: People can disagree with me on this. R vibes like

773
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: you need to be able to be.

774
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: A babysitter of twenty six millionaires and like maybe maybe

775
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: maybe seventeen millionaires and a couple other one hundred thousand

776
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: airs and like try to manage all the egos and

777
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: manage everyone's likes and dislikes and idiosyncrasies. I think he

778
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: does that super super well. I do think he gets

779
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: into a little trouble sometimes with some roster stuff, which

780
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: is the lineup stuff we were talking about before, not the

781
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: line of the substitution stuff, and then once in a

782
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: while the bullpen stuff. But the other side of that

783
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: is the bullpen fucking sucks. So it's hard for him

784
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: to like really find a perfect path forward always.

785
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna I'm gonna defend Buck here. Get ready

786
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: for this. I'm gonna defend him. The team that he

787
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: had in twenty twenty two was just so much more complete,

788
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: so there wasn't a necessity to have to make moves

789
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: as much as this Mets roster does. Like you kind

790
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: of knew what the bullpen was gonna look, like, you

791
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: knew what the situation was, You knew what the lineup

792
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: was every single day. This Mets lineup, while it's it's fantastic,

793
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: they hit really well. Part of the reason why I

794
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: think it's worked has because has been because they've been

795
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: very fluid and where they are and playing the matchups,

796
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: and like you said, with the bullpen, if we had

797
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: a seventh inning guy, if we had an eighth inning guy,

798
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: ed when Diaz lights out, that's it. I'm sure Carlos

799
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: Mendoza would love to be like, oh my god, it's

800
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: seventh I know exactly what I'm doing. But the bullpen's

801
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: been so bad that I think he's just trying to

802
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: find the right button to push at the time. And

803
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: when that happens, sometimes you're gonna be wrong, sometimes you're

804
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna be right. But yeah, for a first season, incredibly

805
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: impressed with him. I think that's kind of where we

806
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: stand right now. Like you said, not infallible, but definitely

807
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: we're doing a really good job with what the Mets

808
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 1: have been able to do. Totally next y smell from

809
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: I think one of our younger listeners, THEO all right, THEO.

810
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 4: So Mark and James Hey, maybe not James. They know

811
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 4: me the Mets on Twitter. I know I DM you

812
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 4: a lot and you never respond. It's a great series

813
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 4: out there in Chicago. Of course, you would have preferred

814
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 4: to not use Edwin twice in that series, but I

815
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 4: guess you just kind of keep him sharp with how

816
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 4: little he's been pitching, and I just want to know

817
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: what you guys are thinking with Nimo because you know,

818
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: when you look at a savant page he has he

819
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 4: actually has a higher br V than Francisco Lindor, but

820
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: the success just hasn't been there. So I was, you know,

821
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 4: kind of looking for your your input there. You know,

822
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 4: maybe it's something with the approach that he's taking, or

823
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 4: is it Eric Shave is telling him to hit more singles, not.

824
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: If you we got ten more seconds of.

825
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 6: Uh?

826
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 4: Just yeah, I really love the podcast, have been listening

827
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 4: for a while. If you do end up listening to

828
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 4: voicemail things. Love you guys so much. James follow me.

829
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: On Twitter THEO.

830
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: Sorry, I can not get into the dms. I've my

831
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: dms are very open for a very long time, and

832
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: now this is just I get like, I love it

833
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: because a lot of you guys like ask me things,

834
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: want to talk about the Mets all time. But I

835
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: have so many dms my inbox right now.

836
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: That James, it's just happening.

837
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: Once in a while, I just can't get through them all.

838
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm just like, ah, oh oh, I know it's bad.

839
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: Man of the people. I'm still mad at the people

840
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: I still get to do a lot of them, but

841
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: there's just some. Like he messaged me like eight hours ago,

842
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: I sent him one back. I haven't sent him one

843
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: back since. But they it's been at the end of July,

844
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 2: so you know, one month I can answer. I'm sorry THEO,

845
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: but it's been It's hard sometimes. But about Nimo, it

846
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: does feel like it's kind of injury related.

847
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: I related.

848
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: THEOS is about br V, which is Baseball Savant's based

849
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: running value, which is value they give.

850
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: Running batting value. I guess it's batting. I get to

851
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: both be RV. It's it's probably be yes. Maybe I'm

852
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: sure he's talking about badding.

853
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: I think with Savant we'll do is they'll give you

854
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: a lot more credit because especially for a guy like

855
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: Nimo who once still hits the ball hard consistently over

856
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: the full year, is what it says. These are all

857
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 2: full year stats. He still doesn't chase very much compared

858
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: to the average. Hither, he doesn't whiff whif sid of

859
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: league gaverage rad he walks a ton like. That's all

860
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: stuff that batting run Value will give you credit for

861
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: in Savon. And these are a lot of things Nimo

862
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: did really really well in the first half when he

863
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 2: was really really good. But he's not been that good

864
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: as good recently. His powers dipped over the last month.

865
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: He's been chasing more, he's been whipping more over the

866
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: last month. It's not that good. Post All Star break,

867
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: he's a one eighty eight hitter with a five seventy

868
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: nine ops with two home runs vereaus his sixteen pre

869
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: All Star break.

870
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that was good. I was gonna bring up

871
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: those numbers. I think I talked about on the podcast before.

872
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: DeRosa did a really good breakdown of why brand Nimo

873
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: was having that breakout that we saw earlier in the year,

874
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: and it was because he was keeping that front shoulder in.

875
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: And ever since he's he's made a couple of weird,

876
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: awkward diving plays. He had a couple of rollovers, he

877
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: had that weird slide at home plate where we thought

878
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: he got hurt. Ever since then, it seems like he's

879
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: flying open a lot more. When you fly open, you

880
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: just don't have the same punch on the ball. The

881
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: pitch has to be on the inside corner basically for

882
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: him to hit it hard, and he's just not making

883
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: the same damage. And now because he's not doing the

884
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: same damage. He's probably pressing and being a little bit

885
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: more aggressive and going outside the zone a little more

886
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: than he's used to. I think it's just a combination

887
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: of everything, and I think it does all come back

888
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: to probably not being one hundred percent. Remember, brandonmo has

889
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: been a guy who really has never actually played like

890
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: a full season too often. He usually does have some

891
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: Nixon bruises throughout the year, and we've even seen it

892
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: this season, But I respect the fact that he's playing

893
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: through it and hopefully it gets better again. We have

894
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: no reason to believe that there is any injury outside

895
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: of the fact that he's just got ice cold, and

896
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: especially on the power side, there's nothing there when it

897
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: looked like he just figured out how to hit for

898
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: power for the first time.

899
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: Also, you just made that comment about him not playing

900
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: a full season. He's played at least one hundred and

901
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 2: fifty games in two straight years and this year he's

902
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: tracking to do that again. So he has been a

903
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 2: full season guy recently. It's kind of like Trey Turner, where,

904
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: oh my god, this guy's are injury. When you wake

905
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 2: up one day, I was like, Oh, this guy plays

906
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 2: every single game suddenly. And I think sometimes as fans

907
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 2: or like content created as analysts whatever it is fantasy

908
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: baseball players, we sometimes can conflate a guy sucking or

909
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: being cold with the guy actually playing through injuries. I

910
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: think they just came out recently that Kee Brian Hayes

911
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: has been one of the worst hitlers in baseball this

912
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 2: year's but the entire season with a herniated disk in

913
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 2: his back. Yeah, that doesn't seem very fun. I'm trying

914
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 2: to think of other examples the last few years, but

915
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: some are Remember when really cool to end.

916
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: The year one year, and it was because he had

917
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: a broken handsate bone. Remember last year Fanisco Lindoor.

918
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 2: Again, he was great, but he played the whole year

919
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: with bone spurs in his elbow and he had to

920
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: take it. Took him a month to figure out how

921
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: to manage that pain. So I think these guys deal

922
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: with a lot more than we realized. I think that's

923
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: an important part of baseball and just sports in general,

924
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 2: just humanity in general. Just give these guys a break sometimes.

925
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: But I don't see anyway this really gets a lot

926
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: better in time soon.

927
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: He has.

928
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: He has been trending up for the last like two

929
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: weeks or so, which might tell us something from his

930
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: how as bad as he was this year. But I'm

931
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 2: not holding my breath waiting for Brandon must say this team.

932
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: I think this comes down to Lindor Alonzo, JJ Martinez,

933
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: Jesse Winker, Charlie Marte, the rest of the bats in

934
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: the lineup.

935
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really hope he turns around. But we've been okay

936
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: without him. It's only gonna be plus when he comes back. Yep,

937
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: let's see. You want to do a couple more? Yeah,

938
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: keep you know what we asked for him. We're thirty

939
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: five minutes in. We have nothing else to talk about

940
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: outside of these voicemails and previewing the Red Sox series.

941
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: So let's go. Let's get the people their voice heard.

942
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: All right. We got George George.

943
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 7: Mark James, long time listener. Thank you guys for doing this.

944
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 7: I just I've been drinking like thirty eggs a day

945
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 7: for about two weeks now, you know, trying to get

946
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,959
Speaker 7: my fastball vlos up. I have no reason to throw

947
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 7: one hundred miles an hour, but if that's all it takes,

948
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 7: and I've.

949
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: Been doing it, you know, wait, well that's it.

950
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 7: And then a real question. I was wondering what you

951
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 7: guys were thinking as far as pitching. In regard to

952
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 7: Christian Scott and Code, I singa, I know that there

953
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 7: is some hope that they could be back by the

954
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 7: end of September, but is that something we should realize

955
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 7: really sickly be looking out for. And I don't know

956
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 7: what do you know of any Triple A arms that

957
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 7: could come out, like Luke, Kez or anyone else.

958
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 4: Thanks?

959
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: All right, So first shout out Ryan Lambert called up

960
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn. Our boys called up to Brooklyn, which is

961
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: fantastic news. That is straight away Skip Saint Lucy way

962
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule and shout out to him as well,

963
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: shout him at Texas like congrats out. He's like, let's

964
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: fucking go. Dude's just a vibe. He's such a dog.

965
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: I hope he does well. I love him. We can't

966
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: wait for it. But then, in terms of Christian Scott,

967
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: from what the Mets have been saying, I think Sterns

968
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: and Mendoz I've talked about a little bit. He's throwing

969
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: these bullpens.

970
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: He seems like if he comes back, which is definitely

971
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: still not a guarantee thing, it very likely will be

972
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: in a relief role. I can't see him throwing more

973
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: than thirty or forty pitches in and outing because basically

974
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 2: almost done this what's which is fucking great right now?

975
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this that would be amazing because two

976
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: years in a row now he's dealt with this elbow

977
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 2: thing around the same time of year, after both times

978
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: getting to new career highs and workloads. So it seems

979
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 2: like they really have to be careful with him because

980
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 2: if if something in their snaps, I will you guys,

981
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 2: you guys won't even hear from me for a few days.

982
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: I'll go and I'll go into a hole or crawl

983
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 2: into the corner of my closet and cry in the dark.

984
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 2: But I think that's kind of exactly what this Mets

985
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 2: team needs right now with I'm not saying they don't

986
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: need another starter, but I also don't I can't see

987
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 2: code that coming back until the best of the last

988
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: week of the regular season because that calf injury also

989
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like a joke at all. But if they

990
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: can still just get by with a combination of Blackburnd

991
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: and McGill, because I do think that I don't think

992
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 2: do we get officially a guy in the on the

993
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: roster today, a pitcher with the roster we.

994
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 1: Did we got or Alex Yeah, it was Alex Young,

995
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: Alec Young.

996
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: So again, like I think it's more of continuing to

997
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: get through the hodgepodge of the forty man rather than

998
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 2: like a guy who's gonna come up be an impact guy.

999
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: But I think it's going to keep them doing that.

1000
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: I think McGill's going to get another shot maybe at

1001
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: some point to stay on this roster, maybe do another

1002
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 2: abbreviate stint, anything to help the team win. But it's

1003
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 2: it's gonna be more of the same in the last

1004
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: month with pitching rather than new stuff. I think a

1005
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: lot of Mets fans thought there was gonna be something

1006
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 2: new coming last week because Taylor Rogers was put on

1007
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: w and he went totally unclaimed. I think a lot

1008
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: of people. I saw Diambacks fans are upset about it.

1009
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: I saw some Dodgers fans are upset about it. I

1010
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: think that when these guys get put on waivers this

1011
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: time of year, because basically all these guys just came

1012
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: through and almost no one was claimed.

1013
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: What the Angels did last.

1014
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 2: Year was unique which is they put a lot of

1015
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: the guys who had one year deals on waivers, so

1016
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: it was free to sign them. Taylor Rodgers was due.

1017
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 2: I believe those thirteen million dollars guaranteed in twenty twenty

1018
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 2: five if a team would have claimed him right now,

1019
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: paid the pro rated twenty twenty four salary, which would

1020
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: have been very much. But I don't think that the Mets,

1021
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 2: or clearly anybody else in baseball wants to be on

1022
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: the hook for an aging reliever for fourteen million dollars

1023
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. It's just too much money for reliever.

1024
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 2: You should I'd rather go try and get the next

1025
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: daed Nel Nuniaz than lock in one reliever for that

1026
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: much money.

1027
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 1: Definitely, And yeah, with the starting pitching Blackbird's coming back,

1028
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the option.

1029
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 2: I mean again, also for Mets fans who might be like,

1030
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, we need them right now, think about the

1031
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 2: contracts we gave to Sean and I and Luis Severino. Yeah,

1032
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 2: these guys make the money that you'd be giving Taylor

1033
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: Rodgers next year. It's a no brainer not to take

1034
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: that money on sack.

1035
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: Correct, Some of those guys throw five innings at work,

1036
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: they throw five. This guy throws one like it's it

1037
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: is a no brainer whatsoever. But thank you for chiming

1038
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: in there, George appreciate. Shout out to listening to the

1039
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: Lambert Interview. Yeah, shout listening Lambert interview. Shout everybody listen

1040
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: to an interview because it's a great pick. Because Lambert,

1041
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: he's the egg man. I love it.

1042
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, this is evan lifelong Mets fan. I definitely

1043
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 8: enjoyed listening to you, guys. I'm a bit of a newbie,

1044
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 8: but it's uh, it's definitely good stuff.

1045
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: So welcome.

1046
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 8: So good to see the Mets get a little closer

1047
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 8: to Atlanta yesterday. Hopefully the Phillies can take care of

1048
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 8: business again, uh this evening and get the Mets even closer.

1049
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 8: Random thought like, I don't think I ever thought around

1050
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 8: how the Mets starting pitching is starting to come in

1051
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 8: the form. You know, it's always been something that's been

1052
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 8: hot and.

1053
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 5: Cold this year.

1054
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 8: But honestly, like it's saying I can get back this

1055
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 8: idea of a singa you know, Severino, Peterson and Naya,

1056
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 8: you know, four man rotation. I don't know, we'll deal

1057
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 8: with the five man thing. But regardless, that's pretty solid.

1058
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 8: I like that going into a playoff scenario for the Mets,

1059
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 8: so you know, still got to figure out the shaky bullpen.

1060
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 8: But interesting how that's kind of come together.

1061
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: The one thing I'll say is it's so funny that

1062
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: all Mets fans are drinking the same kool aid right now.

1063
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: Which if Sanga comes back, man, oh my, if he

1064
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: can be back for that Brave series, I'm I'm gonna

1065
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure Jame's gonna match my same opinion here. Just

1066
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: just take it as if he's not coming back, take

1067
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: it as if he's out for the year, and be surprised,

1068
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: be excited if anything else happens. But I think this

1069
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: is PTSD, Jacob de Gram, every single guy that we

1070
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: do it over there.

1071
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 2: I was I was switching to Instagram to load more

1072
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 2: requests and I clicked out to the timeline.

1073
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha. We have PTSD. We have a last few years,

1074
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of pictures with injuries and going

1075
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: if they come back, if they come back. I mean,

1076
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: we've heard this for five, six, seven years. Now, let's

1077
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 1: just rock with the team we got now and if

1078
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: code I sang is available for any game during the

1079
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: rest of this twenty twenty four season, any inning, any inning,

1080
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: any pitch, one pitch. We should be celebrating, We should

1081
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: be through the roof, because that means we're in it,

1082
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 1: and that means he's healthy, and that means he's pitching. Otherwise,

1083
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: I think we gotta not rely on him and look

1084
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: forward to him coming back right now, because there is

1085
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: a probably more than good chance that he doesn't come

1086
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: back this season. High chance.

1087
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 2: Probably he's probably seven out of ten sans chance he

1088
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: does not come back this season. But I do think

1089
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 2: there is still something to what Evan was saying that

1090
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 2: the thirty percent chance he does come back maxed with

1091
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 2: the thirty percent chance that we even.

1092
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: Reached the playoffs. I don't know.

1093
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: I'm not a probability guy, but that probably gives us

1094
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: ten percent chance of both those things happening. Sangam and

1095
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: I started the playoffs series. He's not as bad as

1096
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: it felt a few months ago back, and you can

1097
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 2: you can fuck around a wildcard series and and mess

1098
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 2: him body up with that. I'll tangle with the Brewers

1099
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 2: or those two guys at the top.

1100
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: Oh, all day, I'll tangle all day with them.

1101
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 2: Now we've got a few more. We got two, we

1102
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: have three more in here and more. We have more

1103
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: requests coming in, but we got Beck, Quintin and Joe

1104
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: for sure coming on.

1105
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: So Beck first.

1106
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 9: The biggest takeaway from this series Francisco Lindor MVP over Shotani.

1107
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 9: I don't care about any of that Shohoshani making history

1108
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 9: and everything, because Lindor is out there playing MVP baseball

1109
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 9: every single day on both sides of the ball. Listen

1110
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 9: Otani's focusing on only batting. If Lindor was a switch hitter,

1111
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 9: dh bro, he'd be having like a fifty to fifty

1112
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 9: season now I'm playing, but like for real, though, Lindor

1113
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 9: MVP over Otani some of the highest war in baseball.

1114
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 9: He's fucking Elita defense. That's all I gotta say about

1115
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 9: this series is that Lindor is the MVP.

1116
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: All right, Beck to legend for that one. I mean,

1117
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good take, Like he makes all the

1118
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: right points. He has the highest F four in National

1119
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: League Baseball six point eight. That is point three higher

1120
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: than Otani and almost a full now point higher than

1121
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 1: Elie de la Cruz. Oh dude, he's right Otani doesn't

1122
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: play the field. Otani has been so damn good at

1123
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: the plate. There's no doubt he is a way better

1124
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: hitter than Prince School Indoor. And if he gets fifty

1125
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: to fifty, there's no shot he doesn't win it. But

1126
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: if we're talking to if the MVP is truly the

1127
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: most valuable player to their team, I don't think there's

1128
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: been a player in the National League that's been more

1129
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: valuable than Francisco Indoor to the Mets.

1130
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 2: Can I throw you a scenario, You can throw it

1131
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 2: to me. Pretend we're living in.

1132
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: A bizarre world. Close my eyes.

1133
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Francisco Indoor having this exact season is on

1134
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, and Shohotani having this exact season one season.

1135
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: Right now is on the Mets. How does that affect

1136
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 1: each of those teams?

1137
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 2: And if you're the Los Angeles Dodgers, bonus question, which

1138
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 2: season would you rather be having on your team with

1139
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 2: your roster?

1140
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 4: Oh?

1141
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so Otani on the Mets, Yes, it's probably gonna

1142
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: pick him. There, probably gonna pick the guy having fifty

1143
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: to fifty. I'm not gonna lie even if he's just

1144
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: the DH You don't think that right now, that the

1145
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers had like a shortstop, he's gonna be thirty five

1146
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: to thirty five play. Wait, are we taking Miguel Rojas

1147
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: and putting him at short stop? Is that what we're

1148
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: doing too? For the Mets? Then theoretically know just which

1149
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: you're you're figuring out the rest of the rosters.

1150
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: But those two guys switch plays. That's such a that

1151
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 2: is a really hard question. Well, and but it makes

1152
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 2: it makes the debate kind of seem very realistic. Where

1153
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: if the Dodgers had this shortstop playing at this level

1154
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: and they had to mix and match a DH, they

1155
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: could put Monsy there and they could figure out the

1156
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 2: rest of the fucking field. I don't think they're even

1157
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: down a game in the standings. They might be up

1158
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 2: a few actually, And if you took Francisco Indoor off,

1159
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: the Mets even gave them Otani as right now the

1160
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 2: second best hitter in baseball.

1161
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: I think they're fucked because they don't have a short setup. Yeah, man,

1162
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: this is so this is complicated. This is that's a

1163
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: really fucked up question you asked me. I don't like

1164
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: that at all. It's gonna eat away at me because

1165
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,919
Speaker 1: it's a good one. I think there. I think there's

1166
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: arguments on both sides. I think you can make the

1167
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 1: argument that the dog like Otani did step up huge

1168
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: for them when Mookie Bets was out for a while,

1169
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: and Will Smith has not been having as good of

1170
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: a season as he's had in the past max months.

1171
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: He's been hurt. They've had some injuries, but they are

1172
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: still the fucking Los Angeles Dodgers, and that team is

1173
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: literally an all star roster. Yes, they've been They've need

1174
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: more help really realistically on the pitching side than the

1175
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: hitting side. Where the Mets, I mean, the numbers don't lie.

1176
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: He's been the most valuable player. You're right, I don't

1177
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: If you take Fransiscolndorff, this Mets team, there's almost nobody

1178
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: that would make a difference. Oh, it's all the American

1179
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: League guys, Wan So too, Bobby wit Air and those

1180
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: guys would be in better places for sure. But in

1181
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: the National League it's it's an argument. I don't know.

1182
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if I take the Mets are much

1183
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: worse with Lindor than or uh with Otani than Lindor.

1184
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: But I think that's the conversation to it of itself

1185
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: is that they're both probably the same value to both

1186
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: of their teams right now. And that's the entire crux

1187
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: of this argument totally.

1188
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: And I think that it's a situation for Lindor that

1189
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: kind of sucks, similar for Bobby Whit where he's having

1190
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 2: this season at the same time another guy's doing something

1191
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 2: that's fucking crazy and you've been done. That's what I'm saying, like, like,

1192
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 2: do you don't like when the numbers had obvious in

1193
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 2: your face? Sixty homers, fifty homers, fifty stolen bases.

1194
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: That's hard.

1195
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: It's just hard for the writers not to do it,

1196
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 2: like like like Jimmy Rowlands like stole the MVP from

1197
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 2: David right when he had the nine win season, But

1198
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: that was because it wasn't obvious it was thirty thirty,

1199
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 2: it was three ten, it was one hundred, twenty hundred

1200
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 2: and twenty like and obvious.

1201
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: If they had war then if.

1202
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 2: We had really like it, it compares very favorably. The

1203
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 2: players have won the MVP before, but just happens to

1204
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 2: be happening the same time as something crazy happening. So

1205
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna keep the Lindor MVP vibes going, I want

1206
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: to hear those chances all month the city field, but

1207
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: at this point, like it's just it would be it

1208
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: would be crazy if he has he has to do

1209
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 2: so he keeps doing crazy things, but he has to

1210
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 2: do something like actually fucking batshit to do it.

1211
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: Franciscodor has to hit eleven home runs in the month

1212
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: of September. Francisco, if he hits forty home runs and

1213
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: he has thirty stolen bases with one hundred RBIs he's

1214
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: gonna win the MVP. Forty home runs gets them there?

1215
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, forty homer Like a month ago we said thirty five. Problem,

1216
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: he's for you now, all right, we got a We

1217
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 2: got two more here, Quentin and Joe.

1218
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 10: Hey, Mark and James big time or longtime listener and

1219
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 10: really appreciate what you guys do. My question for you,

1220
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 10: speaking of the whole Lindor MVP conversation, even though it

1221
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 10: looks like Showy's gonna end up taking it, my question

1222
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 10: for you is, with all the weird Lindor hate around,

1223
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 10: what I mean, he's definitely a Hall of Famer. What

1224
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 10: ballot do you think do you think he ends up

1225
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 10: by the end of his career. He's a first ballot

1226
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 10: Do you think he's a down ballot, second, third year

1227
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 10: kind of guy?

1228
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 7: Just curious, is what you, guys.

1229
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: Thoughts are on that if Francisco Lindoor keeps doing everything

1230
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: that he is doing right now, of course he's going

1231
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: too slow down as he gets older. But what's going

1232
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: to be great about Francisco Indoor is that he's going

1233
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: to play gold Glove defense at second base in his

1234
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: twilight years. He'll be the best second basement defensively you've

1235
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: seen since Berberto Alomar. He's going to be a first

1236
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer. He's doing stuff that there's almost

1237
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: no shortstops in baseball I've ever done it. You're looking

1238
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: at in terms of value. Obviously, defensively, Jeter not on

1239
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: the same level as him. Cal Ripken will not, I

1240
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: mean close, but not as close. There's just not a

1241
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: lot of shortsteps that have been able to do things

1242
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball that he's doing. He

1243
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: will be a clear first ballot Hall of Famer. When

1244
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: you talk about the best shortstops, guys who changed how

1245
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: that position is played, Francisco Indoor's name is going to

1246
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: come up.

1247
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he already has had a more valuable career than

1248
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 2: as like Jimmy Rollins and Nomar who were like some

1249
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 2: of the better short stops and Galtajada the last era.

1250
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 2: He's blowing them out of the water, and he's doing

1251
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 2: it with consistency. I do think that no matter what,

1252
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 2: because Lindor is not going to be a five hundred

1253
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: home run guy. He's probably not gonna be a three

1254
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: thousand hits guy. He's not gonna be a three hundred

1255
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 2: career batting average guy. And he's not going to have

1256
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 2: ten goal gloves because he hasn't any only has anything

1257
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 2: two or three right now. So I think he still

1258
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 2: will be a Hall of Famer, but I think he's

1259
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 2: gonna be the guy that grinds four or five years

1260
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 2: on the ballot. Truthfully, unless unless he wins a World

1261
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: Series with the Mets, houlta trophy has a huge playoff ronts,

1262
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 2: he's still he needs if he has a moment that

1263
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 2: changes the whole situation, because then he he catapults himself

1264
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 2: past the stats like guys like Derek Jeeter did.

1265
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: Right let me ask you this, what Francisco Londori right

1266
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: now is at two hundred and forty three home runs, Okay,

1267
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: in his career. That's in ten seasons, right, one of

1268
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: them being shortened because of COVID, and one of those

1269
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: seasons being his rookie year ninety nine games. So he's

1270
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: a guy who's averaging about that shot twenty five home

1271
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: runs a year. He could have hit four hundred home runs.

1272
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: If he has four hundred home runs, it's a no

1273
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: doubt first ballot. I think.

1274
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 2: I think four hundreds almost pretty good chance that's four hundred.

1275
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 2: I think five hundreds the one that gets him no

1276
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 2: doubt for his ballot.

1277
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: Mean, five hundred is not happening. There's no shot.

1278
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 2: Again, I mean there is a shot because right now

1279
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 2: he's doing some of the he's thirty one, he's doing

1280
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 2: the best thing he's ever done in his career.

1281
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: He needs to do four more seasons at thirty five.

1282
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: Maybe all right, we'll keep it in Like, I don't

1283
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah.

1284
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: To me, he compares right now very much like Barry

1285
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 2: Larkin and Barry Larkin I think was a first ballot

1286
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm almost positive he was not Barry Larkin.

1287
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 2: Barry Larkin's like I think I hate he was third

1288
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 2: fourth ballot, I'm pretty sure. Really check, Uh, how do

1289
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 2: I memory he's there for third or not?

1290
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: I actually have no I check what year he retired

1291
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: and what year they got in. Hold on, So he

1292
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: retired in two thousand and four and he got in

1293
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve. Okay, So I'm saying he grinded a

1294
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: few years in that ballot. Oh way, I could find

1295
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: it now here we go, let's see. You keep talking,

1296
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find it all right. So again, but I

1297
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: think that's where it's at. I think on Leslandor has

1298
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: a signature more time. Third time for Larkin, Larkin had

1299
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: only hit one hundred nine g eight home runs. Lndor

1300
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: has already gotten more than that. Okay, but Larkin also.

1301
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 2: Was like like a seventy war player pretty easily, and

1302
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 2: Lindor is a fifty right now. He's got a long

1303
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: way to go, but he Larkin was awesome. Larkin was

1304
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 2: fucking great. But the difference was that Larkin never had

1305
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 2: that moment like like there's an LVP he did he

1306
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 2: want to be, Hey do an MVP?

1307
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: Yay?

1308
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 2: So like that's thing. Lodori either has to win like

1309
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 2: an MVP or two as of right now. Lindor has

1310
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 2: only been top five and m VP once, so to

1311
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: be first ballot you have to either do that a

1312
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 2: few times, or you need the signature moment, or he

1313
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 2: has to do the five hundred home runs. So I

1314
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna be a first ballot. I think

1315
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 2: he gets in for sure, like the longest things keep

1316
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 2: going for the next five six years.

1317
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: You are right, the Hall of Fame balloting is for

1318
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: Cock the two because Mike Piazza was like a fourth

1319
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: ballot guy and he's the best hitting catcher of all time.

1320
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 2: So same, I'm too deep. I'm too deep into the

1321
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 2: stuff that was Quentin. And now that we got the

1322
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 2: last voicemail of the day comes in from Joe.

1323
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: All right, Joe, what's up?

1324
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 11: Guy's been listening to the faithfully for the last three years.

1325
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 11: Always a great listen, really good road trip seven and three,

1326
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 11: even we had those two, those two bad losses, but

1327
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 11: still seven and three is exactly what we need to do.

1328
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 11: Took care of business this weekend in Chicago, even though

1329
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 11: we didn't even play our best ball, still were able

1330
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 11: to get the sweep. And I think at this point

1331
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 11: I can definitively say we are better than the Braves.

1332
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 11: We just have to find a way to beat them.

1333
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 11: We have the better lineup. They probably have the better

1334
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 11: pitching staff, but I think we do overall because of

1335
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 11: our lineup. We're healthier. I think we are the better

1336
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 11: team right now. And this is the year to beat

1337
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 11: them and to pass them and to make them sit

1338
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 11: on the couch in October and I'll sit in there.

1339
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 11: And We've got a find way to get that third spot,

1340
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 11: because I think Arizona and San Diego are probably locked

1341
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 11: in at this point, so it's going to come down

1342
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 11: to that third spot, and we just have to play

1343
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 11: well enough to beat out Atlanta and this last month

1344
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 11: so and if we can get to the playoffs, I

1345
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 11: think we can cause them having.

1346
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 2: I'll say this about the concept of the Padres and

1347
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 2: Diambacks being locked in. I'm sure a lot of listeners

1348
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 2: to show are older than the age of like fourteen,

1349
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: so I'm sure most of them remember two thousand and seven,

1350
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 2: like I remember two thousand and seven. Of these fucking

1351
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 2: leads are safe. We are three games behind them the

1352
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 2: Padres and lost Colum right now, and four behind the Diamondbacks.

1353
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 2: Nothing is safe. The Cubs are only two behind us.

1354
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 2: Like there, there's a month of baseball, it's thirty fucking games.

1355
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: A lot of shit can still happen. I I do

1356
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 2: agree that this is I don't like the way. I

1357
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 2: don't like the way who doesn't want to give credit

1358
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 2: to the name. I don't like the way Joe phrase it.

1359
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 2: But he's right, this is the time to beat the Braves.

1360
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 2: But yes I don't. I don't like beating the fucking

1361
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 2: Triple A. The Gwynette Stripper's over there, even though I

1362
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: still want to, but just it's more about it, more

1363
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: be embarrassing if we can't get past them.

1364
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: Yes, that's how I feel about that kind of Let

1365
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: me tell you, if you could put the Braves pitching,

1366
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: the Mets hitting together this year, who had teams would

1367
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: in a World Series? Is signing close? Got a fucking

1368
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: team right there, You got a major one. But their

1369
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: pittrick has been unbelievable, and they brought back Tyler Matzik today.

1370
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Yeah?

1371
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 2: And Ronaldo Lopez, I don't know if anyone knows is this,

1372
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 2: but he took a month and a half off and

1373
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 2: he's come back throwing ninety nine miles an hour.

1374
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: With pinpoint command. It's I think they like are like

1375
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: all right, so instead of taking off the end of

1376
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: the year's take off in the middle of the year.

1377
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just voodoo fuck him. I hate them so much,

1378
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: But I think any of these scenes can be passed.

1379
00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 2: I think also the Cubs getting high and if one

1380
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 2: nine of ten games six in a row, their offense

1381
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: has woken up for the first time all fucking season,

1382
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 2: There's a lot, a lot that can happen.

1383
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: But they again, anything can happen in any direction here, truthfully. Yeah,

1384
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: I will let me tell you if if we are

1385
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: the reason the Braves do not make the playoffs and

1386
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: we get in, I'm gonna be intolerable. I am going

1387
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: to be going crazy. It's it's gonna be a lot

1388
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,439
Speaker 1: of fun. And hopefully we get to see that happen,

1389
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: because we know I will act like an idiot on

1390
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: the internet for much less things. So I'm cool with that. Yeah. So,

1391
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: but I think that's all we got.

1392
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 2: Voicemails, We've got Frankie Peppers the Endn't worry, guys, are

1393
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 2: gona We're gonna have the regular Franki Peppers. He set

1394
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 2: me one in is how we discovered Frankie Pepper, so

1395
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 2: if we might be trying to fire next star over here,

1396
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 2: but oh that was all we got double checking. Yeah,

1397
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 2: it's all the voicemails we've got, so thank you guys

1398
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 2: ever for this voicemails. Are gonna try and do those

1399
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 2: probably once a month. I don't know, keep you guys involved.

1400
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: But now I didn't really find a good media marvel

1401
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 2: this week. We did voicemail the stead.

1402
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: Of that, let's talk about the Red Sox.

1403
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 2: Time to preview the Red Sox series. The Red Sox

1404
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 2: aren't bad at all, correct, They're They're fine. They're a

1405
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 2: fine baseball team. That's very weird, is how we describe them.

1406
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: They're kind of the Mets of the American League right now,

1407
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: kind of.

1408
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 2: They've had a bad second half, worst second half than

1409
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 2: the first half. They're falling a little bit of the

1410
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 2: wildcard race because the AL wildcard race is a little

1411
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 2: it's a little more obvious because it's justin whoever's gonna

1412
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 2: lose the Ale least and whoever's gonna lose the AL

1413
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 2: Central or firmly head of the Red Sox, the Mariners

1414
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 2: and weirdly the Tigers have put themselves in this mix

1415
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 2: somehow shout out them.

1416
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: But Red Sox are a weird team. So pitching matchups.

1417
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 2: The series three seven to seven o'clock games seven o'clock

1418
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 2: on Labor Day bizarre. I don't remember that ever ever happening.

1419
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: And then Tuesday night Wednesday night have all seven to

1420
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 2: ten at City Field. Hope to see you guys there

1421
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 2: for some of those Luisa Riuno versus Brian Bao and

1422
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 2: then Tuesday asof David Pearson versus Color Crawford, and then Wednesday.

1423
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: I think this is subject to change because it'll put

1424
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 2: McGill on regular rest but then put him ahead of Kintana.

1425
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 2: But as of right now, either McGill or Qatana versus

1426
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 2: Tanner Hawk.

1427
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: Okay, those are matchups. I mean, listen, before we talk

1428
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: talk about the pitching side. The big thing with the

1429
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: Red Sox I feel like is their offense, because obviously

1430
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 1: able to hit really well. Rafael Devers maybe one of

1431
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: the most underrated hitters in all of baseball. The guy

1432
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: just every single year thirty home runs, thirty doubles, one

1433
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: hundred RBIs, sopis is nine to twenty three. This guy

1434
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: gets no love, no love from national media, no love

1435
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: from anybody. It feels like outside of Red Sox world,

1436
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: really really fucking good hitter at the plate. And then

1437
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: Jaron Durant gotta talk about him too. Not about him

1438
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: being a little homophobic. That was bad, not good, don't

1439
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: use that word. But as a baseball player, so damn good,

1440
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's so fucking good. Twenty one homers,

1441
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: forty four doubles, thirteen triples, sixty nine RBI is nice,

1442
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: thirty two stolen bases, an eight eighty five ops. He's

1443
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: having a phenomenal year. He actually has more war than

1444
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor the guy if he was in a different

1445
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: League's winning the MVP.

1446
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 2: No, he's kind of come out of nowhere to do

1447
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 2: this too. Not nowhere, but he's he's having the best. Yeah,

1448
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 2: Mark Mark was big on Jaron Durant once he made

1449
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 2: that swing change. He got me hip to him two.

1450
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 2: Same with the Rats and Barrels podcast, you know, and

1451
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 2: DVRs shot him out a lot. But twenty seven years old,

1452
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 2: in his prime. He's playing elite defense center field too,

1453
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 2: which is something that was always a big question for him.

1454
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: But he's find a way to do that.

1455
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 2: I think He's played a lot of corner as well,

1456
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 2: but overall the seven metrics are amazing. He is him

1457
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 2: and Devers are carrying that team right now to HEIGHTSID.

1458
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 2: I don't think a lot of people and they saw

1459
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 2: the rospbergaining in the year, thought they could have ever reached.

1460
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 2: And including William Abreu who's in the Rookie of the

1461
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 2: Year race in the AL, he's a great ball player.

1462
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 2: Tristan Cossa is back from one of the strangest injuries

1463
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 2: that we've ever seen in baseball. So something that I

1464
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 2: think is interesting, not just someone's got sad. As we

1465
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 2: get more and more data and more and more information,

1466
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 2: more and more science, these players keep getting bigger, stronger, faster,

1467
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 2: just more force inside their bodies. Cossas broke a rib

1468
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 2: just on a swing, and the doctor, the trainer whoever's

1469
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 2: interviewed after, said that the swing created the same torque

1470
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 2: and force inside his body as a car crash to

1471
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 2: break his rib. That's how hard he swung, that's how

1472
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: much he twisted in his trunk there. So that's a

1473
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 2: weird thing, especially now that we're tracking things like swing speed.

1474
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 2: I know the teams are a lot more than now

1475
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 2: we've gotten that stuff on baseball savant, but just other

1476
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: things to keep an eye on, how we as as

1477
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 2: the modern age of athletic pushes the human body to

1478
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 2: literally the furthest heights has ever been pushed. But he's

1479
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 2: a good player, Rob Refsnider's just hitting in the middle

1480
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 2: that line, and a most Takyoshida is blazing hot in

1481
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 2: the second half. But he will never play the fields,

1482
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 2: so that's something keeping on instead of a most tak Yoshida.

1483
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 2: Connor Wang has been playing the outfield for them, which

1484
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 2: is fucking insane that he'll play the outfield over over

1485
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 2: Masataka Yoshida. But rummig and Zalez thinks so great they

1486
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 2: just cut Dom Smiths. Would be nice for Dom to

1487
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 2: come to City Field. But interesting Red Sox team for sure. Yeah,

1488
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 2: this team is going to run as well. Jared Durant

1489
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 2: steals a bunch of basses, so don Rafaela steals a

1490
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 2: bunch of basses. I think David Hamilton, I think it's

1491
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 2: hurt right now. Okay, he stole a ton.

1492
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: They run. They're a very aggressive team. They try to

1493
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: steal runs off of you. They try to make him

1494
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: make plays. And this dude Mickey Gasper. I know he

1495
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have a hit. He's up on the team right now.

1496
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: Check the stash on Mickey Gasper. It's a solid mustache.

1497
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 2: And also that's an all time baseball named Mickey Gasper.

1498
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 2: But issued this Red Sox team by far and away,

1499
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 2: bullpen fucking socks. It is horrible. They've blown I think,

1500
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 2: the most saft in baseball besides like the really bad

1501
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: teams White Sox and stuff.

1502
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Which is funny because their eras are not crazy bad

1503
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: at all. The Mets definitely have worst cras as a

1504
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: full team.

1505
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 2: I mean, because the Red Sox will have a guy

1506
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 2: that got get blown up and get him out of there.

1507
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, because the active guys. The RA is not

1508
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: gonna look that.

1509
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 2: But also Kenley Jans is having another amazing season and

1510
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 2: his path to the Hall of Fame as a closer.

1511
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah like, because I'm looking at it right now. And

1512
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: the worst ones. Josh win Kowski technically former Met Josh

1513
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: win Kowski never forget traded for Steven Mets. I think

1514
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: he came with the Steven Matt trade. I don't know,

1515
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: and then we know that was that was yeah, maybe three.

1516
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: It was one of those trades. That offseason Justin Slayton

1517
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: technically former met former mechnically former Met. That was a

1518
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: fuck up. Yeah, that was that was a mess up

1519
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: because he is absolutely nasty. But like Chris Martin, Brennen, Bernadino,

1520
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:47,439
Speaker 1: Greg Weisert, who you still like Greg Weisert, He's still

1521
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,919
Speaker 1: He's weird, but I don't love him, Okay, Zach Kelly,

1522
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: and you mentioned ken Lee Jansen. It's a it's a

1523
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: bizarre bullpen. Oh you missed one. Guy Rich Hill, Dick Mountain.

1524
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Dick Mountain's back forty four years old. He is significantly

1525
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: older than his pitching coach. We gotta get We have.

1526
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 2: To get Richill of Tribute series on the board. Hopefully

1527
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 2: people look back and do that, because people listen to

1528
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 2: this show sometimes and do things after it. So maybe

1529
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 2: they're going to listen and then be like, yeah, let's

1530
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,479
Speaker 2: get Rich Hill on the scoreboard if any scoreboard people

1531
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 2: are listening. But Richel's hilarious. He is what seven years

1532
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 2: older than Andrew Bailey as his pitching coach. But I'll

1533
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 2: talk about Red Sox pitching for a little bit.

1534
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Bailey's come to that team.

1535
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 2: He's doing something that I think is really cool, but

1536
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 2: also something that is now kind of flipping back on

1537
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 2: them and not working as well. Where He's told the

1538
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: big guys in the staff who are paveda color Crawford,

1539
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 2: Brian Bao and Tanner Hawk, three of those guys, we

1540
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 2: will see this series basically, fuck your fastball. We're gonna

1541
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 2: pitch backwards. Like BeO, his best pitches are as slyer

1542
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 2: than his change up. Throw those more. Cother Crawfords his

1543
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 2: color and his curveball, throw those more. Tanner Hawk, it's

1544
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 2: a sweep er throw that more so against the batters

1545
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 2: where those pitches make the most sense. They're leading on

1546
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 2: those pitches instead of throwing fastballs, and early in the

1547
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 2: year that helped the Red Sox starting rotation to be

1548
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 2: one of the most effective in all baseball. Over the

1549
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 2: last month and a half six weeks, as teams have

1550
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 2: been studying this morn and preparing more, teams have now

1551
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 2: been sitting on those secondary pitches. Tanner Hawk and Crawford

1552
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 2: are two guys who have gotten hit much harder than

1553
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 2: having for us to have recently had a really good start,

1554
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 2: and Craff's ride the ship a little bit of late,

1555
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 2: but it's interesting that Ying and Yang that the Red

1556
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 2: Sox are playing with the league and had league's playing

1557
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 2: back with them, and how it's it's a it's a

1558
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 2: cool phase of like league.

1559
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Wide pitching development. I like, I've liked watching unfold this season.

1560
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, the Red Socks always ray of the fastballs

1561
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 2: in the league for starting rotation.

1562
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: The Boston Red Sox, this is a this is a

1563
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: very gettable team, uh for sure. This week at city

1564
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Field Tanner Hawks, they're a big guy who's having their

1565
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: best year in terms of pitching three one two era.

1566
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in the s conversation. Not as strong

1567
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: as he was a couple of weeks ago, but definitely

1568
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: up there in the American League. Just guys are gonna

1569
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: get votes, kind of like a Sean and Ia type thing.

1570
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: Good team, gotta beat them, gotta beat them. These games

1571
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: are so important. I'm we're at the point where we're

1572
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna start to look at who the other teams are

1573
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: also playing in their next series. Two and just briefly

1574
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that the Padres got the Tigers, the Diamondbacks have

1575
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: who do they have after this? And we know that

1576
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: their schedule gets tough, And then I'll look up the Braves.

1577
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks are going to San Francisco for three games,

1578
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: and they're going to Houston. Okay, so those are six,

1579
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: six tough games right there where. It's not the White Sox,

1580
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: the Braves. Fuckers. They get the Rockies, those bastards at home.

1581
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do bad, but then also the dim Backs,

1582
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 2: then home versus the Rangers, and then six with the Brewers,

1583
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 2: three in Denver to face the Rockies, and then four

1584
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee. So they have seven games against the Brewers.

1585
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 2: So still on the schedule. We're a good team playing

1586
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 2: really good baseball.

1587
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: Interesting is coming down to the Braves. Braves go, Rockies,

1588
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, then one game against the Reds, two against

1589
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: the Nationals, then back home against the Dodgers. What a

1590
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: weird schedule they have too. They end the end the

1591
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: year with the Royals. Oh my god, I'm gonna be

1592
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: rooting for the Royals so hard. You and everything on

1593
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the line. So that's like literally the Mets and the

1594
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Royal season. Are you kidding me? I'm gonna have money

1595
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: on the line for that. Oh those are your two teams.

1596
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 2: But I don't know, guys, just stay on top of it.

1597
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 2: We're staying hot. Just win our games, keep score board watching.

1598
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 2: Hopefully things work out.
