Second nightmare series. It feels like 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: in a row in that city that Oh boy, do 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: I have a strong disdain for the city of Atlanta 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: right now? Man? Oh man? Was this series painful? Awful, nightmare, 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: whatever word you want to describe it. None of them 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: are good, None of them are good. Can't sugarcoat this one. 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: It was a bad, bad series, and uh, it hurts. 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: It definitely hurts as a Met fan. So I don't know. 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't even follow us on social media mets up, 14 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: I don't listen to us, subscribe. I don't know, James, 15 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: I just want to start talking about it. I can't. 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I can't even do that. I can't. Oh my, gonna 17 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: pretend like, you know, we're excited to tell you where 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: to follow us. I need to talk about what just happened, 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: which it's just a bad taste in the mouth right now. 20 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: No, this says devastating and demoralizing I've ever felt about 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: the Mets series that wasn't in like at least September. 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: This is just this is terrible. It's the first time 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: in team history. 24 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: The said in the broadcast that they've blown at least 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: a three run lead in three consecutive games. Is now 26 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: six game losing streak. Every single game has been decided 27 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: by three runs are fewer. There's been so many like 28 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: little moments that could have changed the outcome of any 29 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 2: of these three games, and like every single one went 30 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: the other way. Like a team that we just like 31 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: watched last year found every way to win. 32 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: Right now is just finding. 33 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: Any possible way to lose and just feel it adding up, 34 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: and you're adding up and you're almost like waiting for 35 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: the other shoe to drop. Like Game three Thursday nights, 36 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: just as many runs the mess kept getting, they kept 37 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 2: not being able to blow the doors off it, and 38 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: you kept just feeling like there's just every every relief 39 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: picture just there was a little too much. There was 40 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: a little too much. There was a little too much, 41 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: and eventually it just broke the camel's back and it's 42 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: just wow, where what happens now? 43 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: I think the best way I can describe the feeling 44 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: going into this game tonight, especially in the ninth or 45 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: tenth inning, was or ninth inning even was a friend 46 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: of mine who was watching the game with shout out Ernie. 47 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: He goes going into ninth and it feels like we're 48 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: losing right now, even though we're up one. That's just 49 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: kind of the feeling that I feel like a lot 50 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: of us Mets fans just have right now after watching 51 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: this really awful losing streak that they're on, and especially 52 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: the way that they lost to the Braves, Like you said, 53 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: blowing three games in a row with three run leads, 54 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: it just is not particularly fun, enjoyable. Nothing's going right, 55 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: anything that could go wrong right now feels like it is. 56 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Pete Alonso gets hitting the wrist sent back to New 57 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: York for CT scan MRI. I mean, you could go 58 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: throughout every single game in this series and find something 59 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: that could have gone either way, and it went against 60 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: the Mets seemingly every single time. Seemingly. Yeah. 61 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: I mean, you score fifteen runs in two games with 62 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: Max and Verlin there and they give up eleven combined. 63 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: It's just like the bulls for the ballpen to be 64 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: taxed on back to back days where those guys are pitching. 65 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: It's just it's demoralizing. It's really, there's the only way 66 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: to describe it. And like, you watch the Braves on 67 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: the other side, and they're so comfortable playing against the Mets, 68 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: having so much they're acting like such jerks. Oh, I 69 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: can't stand playing that team and going to that ballpark. 70 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: It's so awful. 71 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 2: It's just God, God, it's pains. It's pain everywhere right now. 72 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,119 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, I really hate the Braves. I really hate them. 73 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: I mean, we had what the first ten years of 74 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: our lives. The Braves won every single division from ninety 75 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: six until two thousand and six, So they went every 76 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: division the first ten year of our lives. And then 77 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: they had what like two years of being okay, and 78 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: then they just went back on another run. They won 79 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: the World Series recently, we know what what happened last year. 80 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I hate I hate the Braves so much, 81 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: always hate the Braves, but I'm getting a new found 82 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: hatred for this team. Like I hate the players now, 83 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: I hate everything. I hate the city, whatever it is. 84 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: There's stupid chance everything, it's so I want I want 85 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: to snap things, I want to break things. I got 86 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: an Expo marker just snap it. But you know, then 87 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: I make a mess and then I have to clean 88 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: that up, and then I'm angry because the Braves made 89 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: me clean up a mess from breaking an XPO. It's 90 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: just I don't I really don't even know how to 91 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: articulate what happened because it was just not good. It 92 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: just wasn't good. 93 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 2: I mean, they're just just like they unraveled all three games, 94 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: like every single one. It was just like, I don't 95 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: know if the first one was weird because Crasco is 96 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: pitching so well, then you like you felt it kind 97 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: of going wrong and he comes back out for the 98 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 2: sixth inning and then you're like, oh no, and then 99 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: they start scorching the ball and they get a couple 100 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: of runs in and it's just he's leaving the ball 101 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: up and it's like, oh God, like where it's it 102 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: all definitely like comes back to the fact that there's 103 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: just there's just there's just you never have enough pitching, 104 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: and the Mets is definitely are on the latther end 105 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: of that right now, where it's just you want more 106 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 2: outside of these guys. You need none but one more 107 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: inning out of these guys and just you go, you 108 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: try to sneak it through the hole. 109 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: And just can't get it. 110 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: And it's just adding up game after game, day after day, 111 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: like you lose six games in a row by three 112 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: runs or few, where it's just like, oh, there's so 113 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 2: many opportunities to win. We had again the lead by 114 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: at least three runs in every single game of the series, 115 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: and to not I even put one of them out 116 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: is again like not even just demoralizing. It's statistically probable 117 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 2: that that even could happen. 118 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Braves, like you said, they looked 119 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: fired up to play us. Even when they were down, 120 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: they were still very in it. They were still very 121 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: locked in. It felt like it felt like they had 122 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: a lead. It didn't feel like they were coming from behind. 123 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: It felt like they knew that we were gonna be 124 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: able to come or you know, they were gonna come 125 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: back and do this. And I just didn't get the 126 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: same vibe. I just didn't get the same vibe that 127 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: we saw a lot last year where I mean this 128 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: team they did battle, I think offensively, like speaking, the 129 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: offense did battle at times. We didn't get some big 130 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: hits that would have helped a little bit later in games. 131 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, even looking at Game three, see Franciscu 132 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: Alvarez is still raking the ball all over the field. 133 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: Had a great series in Atlanta. Lindor actually started swinging 134 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: the battle a little bit better, which is good. McNeil 135 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: always sits to get Atlanta, but like it just wasn't 136 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: enough because whenever we needed like the big, big hit 137 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: towards the end of the game, we couldn't get it. 138 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: And I think the biggest issue, and I don't think 139 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: anybody's blind to this, is that, like you said, not 140 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: enough pitching, not enough quality pitching right now, our quality 141 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: performances by our pitching, and it just is all adding 142 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: up and it's snowballing rapidly like the bullpen. It feels 143 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: like everybody's pitching every single night at this point, and 144 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: it's it's really hard to win games when you feel 145 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: like you're playing catch up a lot of the times, 146 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: or you don't even have guys at ninety eighty percent 147 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: of what their best is. 148 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 2: And I felt like the Braves were able to extract 149 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: life from the Mets, not like cashing in there like 150 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: many opportunities, like especially looking back at Thursday's game, like 151 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: Mets opened up a six to three lead off Spencer Strether, 152 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 2: who they just own. Which is the craziest partly about 153 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: this entire run of the last six eight months here 154 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: of the Mets not being able to do anything against 155 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: the Braids, that SPECSI Stryder can't do anything against us. 156 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: But you take a six to three lead after Brett 157 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: Baty's RBS single, which is a great piece of hitting 158 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: Opposa field shot on an outside pitch. Good to see 159 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: him swing the bat better, especially on Thursday, get to 160 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: lift that ball a little bit. And then they just 161 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: were very aggressive, at least early in this game, Lindor 162 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: and Baity the double stole with one out, and then 163 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: you had your up. You're up six to three, You're 164 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: six runs. Specs to Striyther tune a Thurds innings and 165 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: you just you can't you can't get that run in. 166 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: Tommy fam Omar Devia is like over two right there. 167 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: You're like a couple like one even one single there. 168 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 2: You make it eight to three, and the third that 169 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: feels like a much more devastating lead than six to three. 170 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: Then immediately the next inning the Braves come back and 171 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: Justin Verlander and scratched couple of cross and then happened 172 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: even more so in the ninth inning, where oh my god, 173 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: your bases loaded one out of Jesse Shava is the mess. 174 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: Have never hit Jesse Shavas. I can't. I can't watch 175 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: Jesse Shavas pitch. I love pitching so much. I love believers. 176 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: You guys know that. 177 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: And he's just throwing naughty mouse everything you hate, oh 178 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: my everything. 179 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: I hate. I hate him. I hate him. 180 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: I don't I don't like watching a pitch. I don't 181 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: like looking at him, I don't like hearing his name. 182 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: I don't like seeing his stupid glasses. I hate him. 183 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I hate him. I mean to say 184 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: he's ugly because he is, like I can't stand the guy. 185 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: And then you have bases loaded one out and you're 186 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: only up one and you can't even scratch one of 187 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: those insurance runs across. And when that inning ended, you 188 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: saw all the braves get so jacked. You're like, it's 189 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: all rolling down one this is easy, and oh my god, 190 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: and every like Orlando Arci and Michael Harris, I got 191 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: every single spot in the order. 192 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: There's no there's no let up. 193 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: You could you and it felt like that again, probably 194 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 2: against us tonight too, because we just kept turning the 195 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: blind up over and everyone was hitting. 196 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: But he just felt them. 197 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: Even in the game on Wednesday, like Ronald Acuna makes 198 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: scales the wall for a crazy catch on Thomas base 199 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: loaded or to only allow run one run to score, 200 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: and so the lead that was at that point that 201 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: made of the tie game. He would have taken the leader, 202 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: would taken the lead right back in the braze, and 203 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 2: they took it from you, and you feel you felt 204 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 2: to take that next inning. The ending after that, Michael 205 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: Harris makes a complete miracle catch in center field, just 206 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 2: sticks his globe up, look what I found. And then 207 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: on my chinks of course because I had to get 208 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 2: the guy going, he hits a freaking mammoth of a 209 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: home run to win the game. It's like where they 210 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: found so many sources of energy, so many ways to 211 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: like spark their team and gain momentum, and every single 212 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: time it was the mess chasing them. 213 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they they made big plays. They made big 214 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: plays and capitalized off them. We had big plays in 215 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: the series, like we had the Alonzo home runs, the 216 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: Lindor home run Alvarez, like you just mentioned that big 217 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: baby hit Tommy fam with some big I mean, he's 218 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: swinging the bat really well. But it's just it feels 219 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: like that extra that we need because the pitching has 220 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: not been as strong as we had hoped or need, honestly, 221 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: as strong as we need. Don't worry about hoping right now. 222 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: We need them to be better. It's just we can't. 223 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: When it rains, it pours, and it's like when the 224 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: offense hits, the pitching doesn't. When the pitching pitches the 225 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: offense doesn't hit. Nothing is cohesive right now, and it's 226 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: just it's really really I mean, I can only imagine 227 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: how frustrated they are. It's russuring as a fan. I'm 228 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: sure as a player it's gotta be like, what in 229 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: the world do we have to do right to try 230 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: and win a baseball game? Because every single button right 231 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: now is that's being pushed or whatever whatever's going on 232 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: is just it's not right. Nothing's working. 233 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: Like how many times in the last like fifteen years 234 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: of watching baseball I've seen Justin Fverlanders like lose his command. 235 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: Like that was like shocking. 236 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: I've never watched Justin Verlander start. I watched so many 237 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: in my life where that has happened. 238 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: Even look at the game he pitches through three. I 239 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: bet you that's almost never happened in his career before. 240 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: He allowed and want to count to that right now 241 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: because I saw it before. I was shocked by one, two, three, four, 242 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: or five six, nine hard hit balls, only those were 243 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 2: only hit against his fastball. Geez like that because the 244 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 2: slider looked great and he couldn't. It's just it's just 245 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 2: so many little things just went and went. And when 246 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 2: Max Shares are cruising through four innings, his nine strikeouts 247 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: for four looks like it's best start of the year. 248 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: He giving up five hits to that point, not one 249 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: of them had left the infield. And then at one 250 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: point they Braids get three infield hits in a row 251 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: because they have voodoo witchcraft magic, and you just see, 252 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: like you see everyone get like really visibly frustrated because 253 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: like how they just squeaked that run across for nothing. 254 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 2: So a Shures are just be like ah dang, like 255 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: Alvarez baby, like everybody in the same moment, like exalted. 256 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 2: You even heard like Gary talk about it. He was 257 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: like sometimes just this is still just a game that 258 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: you play as a kid, like you just feel those 259 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: emotions I come to you just have to react like 260 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: it's very raw. 261 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: And then once that happened, it was. 262 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: Like the Braves just just found it, like the second 263 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: they even like sniffed that a little bit of weakness, 264 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: where like, oh they're frustrated, let's go get them lest 265 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: seven balls the shows are allowed in play on Wednesday, 266 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: where ninety six miles an hour or hard there. Yeah, 267 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: seven was over over almost two full innings. And it's 268 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 2: just like if they're making that much heart contact, eventually 269 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: the ball's either going to find a gap, find some grass, 270 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: or find the seats like it did a lot at 271 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 2: the end of the game on Thursday. 272 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: And it's just it's just that it's hurts. Hurts. It sucks. 273 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: It sucks too, because like there's there's a world where 274 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: things went right in this series. We're having a really 275 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: fun episode, but nothing, nothing went right, like and I 276 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: feel like you could tell that everybody's feeling it too. 277 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: Everybody's feeling a little pressure. Everybody's feeling like what's going on, 278 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: little pressing a little bit just because I mean, like 279 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: listening to Gary in the in the booth today, he 280 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: was particularly I don't want to say emotional, but maybe 281 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: particularly uh dramatic, I guess with his calls on things 282 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: like there was a big strikeout call that was on 283 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: an inside or an outside pitch that was like way 284 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: off the plate that Almerner Bias stole and he called 285 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: it like strike and he was pumped, and it was 286 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: like the Mets world like ten seven. I think it 287 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: was Azuna in the ninth. Maybe it was Azuna in 288 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: the ninth and he he like was pumped, like very 289 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: very exciting, and you're like everybody felt like this was 290 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: very much must win game. And now like you're looking 291 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: at the season the way that it's going for the Mets, 292 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: and it's like the baseball the quality of play has 293 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: got to be turned around quickly because we're approaching the 294 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: All Star break. We're still a month away, I understand, 295 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: but like you don't want to keep losing ground, and 296 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: right now the Mets are not gaining any which is 297 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: not good. 298 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: Gary made a comment that Buck was managing Thursday's game 299 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 2: as if it was Game seven of the World Series, 300 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: which is like in one sense, like yeah, like do 301 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: everything you can to win this game, like don't lose 302 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 2: another game two rivals. But on the other hand, it's 303 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: like that you can't imagine any nine straight games like that, 304 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: Like there's just no one, no one has enough depth, 305 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: enough depth to treat every single game like Game seven 306 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: the World Series like and like you just felt it, 307 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: Like I even I even thought when Verlander was getting 308 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 2: into trouble, I think that's when he was we had 309 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: walked a few consecutive batthers a Cooney with the basis loaded, 310 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: that that that bad in the third inning, Like I was, like, 311 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: I wouldn't even hate to see David Robertson against Robley 312 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: Cooney with the basis lowed up by three runs at 313 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: third inning. Yeah, it did feel like that, I really 314 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: it really did. And you could just feel everybody pressing 315 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: the sixth loss in a row, like a couple of 316 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: different losing streaks this year of at least five games, 317 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 2: and it's it's this one. You're throwing punches and it's 318 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: just the other guy's just it's just rubbing right off them. 319 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, just especially hurts sukers, like we have, you know, 320 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: two guys who are supposed to be stoppers and they 321 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: just couldn't they couldn't stop the bleeding. Couldn't stop the 322 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: bleeding this this series. And I mean the loss doesn't 323 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: fall Onnchers or Verlander, it's you know, as the team 324 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: as a whole. But you know, we those guys are 325 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be aces and we we need a little 326 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: bit more. We just need a little bit more. I 327 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what to say, because it's 328 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: just nothing is going right. Like they could have pitched 329 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: great and then the Mets winner scored enough runs. Like 330 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: that's just kind of the way it feels like everything 331 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: has been going since the month of May came around. Honestly. 332 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were both very accountable too when they like 333 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 2: after the game. Yeah, no, definitely need to be better, 334 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: and like that's that's what do you expect from them. 335 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: They wouldn't mix, begin wouldn't expect anything less. But you 336 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: just like see the frustration their their eyes, their face, 337 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: like the way they're talking, Like Verlanders looks I'm watching 338 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: it right now, it's freaking podcast and was eleven thirty 339 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 2: the night. Very Landers looks perplexed talking to media. He's 340 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: like he's shaking his head. I really, I really just 341 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: I don't know what wrong. I don't and even like it's funny, 342 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: like the series starts again, like a pretty good performance 343 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: by Carlos Carrasco, who's turning in like a nice month 344 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: of pitching. He got up to ninety five miles an hour, 345 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: Like he got eight whiffs on his change up, like 346 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: and just like that extra inning, that third time around 347 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: the batting order, like they're scorching the ball and it's 348 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: just like, I gotta get three more outs. 349 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: Deturzer was pumping ninety five ninety six up until that 350 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: last setting where he started to get hit. It's just 351 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: like like some I don't even know if this is 352 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: the right term, because like I don't somebody something has 353 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: to step up some the team, whatever it is, just 354 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: got to reevaluate what we're doing, because whatever's happened right 355 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: now is just really not working. I think, like from 356 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: a just very very blatant standpoint, like I don't think 357 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: anybody agree or would think that what's happening right now 358 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: with the team is good. Like I don't think any 359 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: of somebody's gonna be like, this is exactly this is 360 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: the plan. This is what we want to roll with. 361 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: This is how things should be. Like I think you 362 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: gotta you almost have to go back to the drawing 363 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: board and say, Okay, what do we need to fix. 364 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: How do we fix this? What's the plan moving forward? 365 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: Because the current plan you almost crumble it up and 366 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: throw it out the window and say it's not working. 367 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: It's not working. We gotta we gotta try something else 368 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: because how many, how many times you keep trying until 369 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't Right? No, I don't know, and they we 370 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: gotta do. Have to give the Braids some credit. As 371 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: much as we hate. 372 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: Them, I will, I will talk good team, I'll talk 373 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: crap about the Braids all day. 374 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: It's till I blue in the face. 375 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 2: Like literally I could do this for hours and hours 376 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: an hours because I hate them. I hate them almost yeah, 377 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 2: more than almost anything sports really ever I've experienced in 378 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: my entire life. 379 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: But you can really get get like two hours today 380 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: off air, Yeah. 381 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: Literally, like it could have gone for longer. We're both 382 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: just like we gotta do something in our lives. But yeah, 383 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: the smoke outside and rhythm going outside. But where's I 384 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: going with this? 385 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 386 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: Like you you look up and down this lineup and 387 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: like half more than half these guys are homegrown studs 388 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: like Ronald Cooney junior. Yeah, is one of the most 389 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: talented baseball players any of us are probably ever gonna 390 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: see in our conscious lives. Like we could just say 391 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: that case in point, the Gazzie Albis, who is the 392 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: guy who was like the star, has like kind of 393 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: received it into just being like a role player and 394 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 2: he's still really really good at that. Michael Harris freaking 395 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: Austin Riley, Oh, I can't. I can't even believe, like 396 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: just watching all these games, nests and why over the years, 397 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: I've never seen a player's respect levels completely one eighty 398 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: from the mess booth like Austin Riley. He went from 399 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: like completely demeaning him and bemoaning him for years. His 400 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: defense is offense is free swinging nature to now think 401 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: it like believing that he is truly one of the 402 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: best players in baseball. And there are times, yes, record 403 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 2: is like one of the best players in baseball. 404 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: But what did you hear what was in the ninth 405 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: inning with Robertson where it was like do you pitch 406 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: the Olsen want them to go to hunt or tenth? 407 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: And Keith screams like all said now, Riley, it's like 408 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: this team just I hate everything about the Braves. I 409 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: hate them so. 410 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 2: Much, hate them even like shout out their talent to 411 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: pick the carcass as the Oakland Athletics and acquire Matt 412 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: Olsen and Sean Murphy for basically nothing, like for nothing, 413 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: and again like I can't say anything. We last year 414 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: acquired Chris Bassett four also literally nothing from the Oakland. 415 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: That's just what you do with that team. But for 416 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 2: them to double dip and get two elite, elite position 417 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: players in the prime of their careers, were now locked 418 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 2: up until we're gonna be in our thirties, Like, how 419 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 2: much does that hurt? 420 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: Travis dar No, I can't. 421 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 2: Even believe of all the cruel injustice in the universe, 422 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: he's just hit fourth to this team and laces the 423 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: ball left right center. It doesn't even matter. And even 424 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 2: just you have to give it up to them for 425 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 2: like just even a bit of organizational philosophy, because they 426 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: have a guy in Mike Soroka who was like one 427 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 2: of their prize possession a few years ago, one of 428 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 2: the best young pitchers in baseball, came up as a 429 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 2: twenty one year old and had one of the best 430 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 2: eras in the entire league, battling through crazy injuries to 431 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: come back for the last few years, amazing story.

But I think it's time to get a 494 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: John in here. 495 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 3: John, give us that estimate, Hi, guys, Yeah, sorry, it's 496 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 3: eleven oh nine pm right now, And isn't it the 497 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 3: worst thing that this was the longest Mets game of 498 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 3: the season as well? 499 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: It is absolute hell that that game was the longest one. 500 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: Why so long? Oh my goodness, what a night. But anyway, Hey, 501 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 3: as Bill Belichick once said, we're not on the Cincinnati, 502 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 3: but we're on to Pittsburgh, and the estimate keeps moving 503 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 3: along no matter what. James pulled out the win. The 504 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 3: hardest hit ball in the series was one hundred and 505 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: ten point nine miles per hour, So unfortunately the ball giveaway. Look, 506 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: that was a tough one, maybe too tough when we're 507 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 3: talking decimal places and all that jazz. James, you said, 508 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 3: someone came within a tenth of nailing it right. 509 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: Two people did one ten point eight? Guess one ten 510 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 2: point eight. I guess one to eleven point one in 511 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: our thing, So I was pretty dang close. But I 512 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 2: don't know if you guys realized, but the Bets haven't 513 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: won a games since we started these promotions, so we're 514 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: gon we're gonna take a break during the Pirates Series 515 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: and then maybe we'll get back to it. 516 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, I'm confident. 517 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: I'm confident that we will be back to giving out 518 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 3: some some awesome sign merch. But yeah, So for the 519 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 3: Pirates series, both teams actually have one guy that the 520 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: other team just cannot get out. For the Pirates, that 521 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: guy is Eduardo Escobar, who they've never been able to 522 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 3: get out a four h two career batting average four 523 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 3: Escobar against the Pirates former Brewer, pretty big sample size. 524 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 3: And for the Mets, the guy they cannot get out 525 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 3: is James Enjoying. This is Rodolfo Castro was five home 526 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 3: runs in eleven career games against the Mets. Five of 527 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 3: his twenty two home runs against the Mets, the most 528 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 3: hit against any team in his career. So I want 529 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 3: you guys to tell me, now that we have that 530 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,719 Speaker 3: information laid out, no script necessary, what will be the 531 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 3: total runs, hits and rbs by both Ordolfo Castro and 532 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 3: Eduardo Escobar in this weekend series. 533 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: I think we're getting one lefty guaranteed with Rich Hill, 534 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: So you got is gonna play in that one? 535 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: You and Johanno Viedo, alrighty in game two, Mitch Keller, alrighty. 536 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 3: In game three for the Pirates. 537 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: It's hits and runs.

Even though we're done with 567 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: the estimates supposed to be talking about the Pirates, I 568 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: still hate the Braves, like probably more than anything in sports. Yeah, definitely. 569 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: I think they've got to be my most hated team, 570 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: most most hated city. I've been given Philly a lot 571 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: of crap and a lot of a lot of just 572 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: trash talking over the years, but it's always because the 573 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: Mets beat them with the Braves. I hate the team, 574 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: I hate the city, I hate the players, I hate 575 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: everything about them. I hate their stupid chance and the 576 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: chop and everything, and they still keep beating us. And 577 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,239 Speaker 1: that's I can't I can't talk trash. I can't do it. 578 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: We don't beat them. It's it's frustrating. You know what 579 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: I would do to talk trash on the braves. Oh, 580 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: I'd love it. 581 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: No, But that is the problem. That is like the 582 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 2: crux of this, Like it's completely demoralizing. Like they are 583 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: so excited to play against the Mets, like they circle 584 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 2: like it on the calendar. They're high fiving in the 585 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: locker room like there's a pep in their step, like 586 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 2: Azi Albi's Ronald Acunya, like Rond mccunia gets brushed back 587 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 2: off the plate and he lays in the dirt like 588 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: making a freaking sand angel for like eight minutes. 589 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: And it's just like these guys are just having way 590 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: too much fun. It's way too easy for them, like 591 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna have Yeah, I was gonna say. I thought 592 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna have some juice with the peal Alnzo stuff, 593 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of trash talk, and then those fits 594 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: like you guy gets hit and their fans cheer, like 595 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: could you imagine doing that? What kind of people are these? 596 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: It's not not not the fans that I want to 597 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: associate with, but God, I hate them. I guess let's 598 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: stop talking about them. Let's talk about this Pirate series, 599 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: which is unbelievably important, incredibly important. I mean, the Mets 600 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: have to Mets have to win this series. There's no like, ay, 601 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: we gotta play good baseball. You gotta win the series 602 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: against the Pirates. This is a team you could be 603 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: competing for the wildcard. 604 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: With, the team you're actively competing with the wildcard with, 605 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: and you only got six shots at them. So winning 606 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 2: these games are gonna be wildly, wildly important. 607 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. 608 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 2: It's like the Pirates have some fun pitchers. Like we're 609 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: gonna see Mitch Keller in the series Sundays Projected Star. 610 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: Then he's got my heart's I even in it, Like 611 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to talk about this stuff. I'm like, 612 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: like Mitch Kelly has been great. His last two Stars 613 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 2: have been not that good. They just lost to drop 614 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: the series to the A's, which is funny, just like 615 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 2: the Brave somehow drop series to the AC. I want 616 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 2: to like watch those games back, Like I'll spend like 617 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 2: a hours my life watching those three games just to 618 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: watch them lose. 619 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: It makes me want to punch my camera hearing man, 620 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: how's that happen? But Kell has been great. 621 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: He really reworked everything about his game ahead of last year. 622 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: He went to tread athletics, which is a new pitching 623 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: lab like a kid to drive. 624 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: He went to tread.

Shout out. 626 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: Uh the guys that I was playing with in the 627 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: game in North Carolina this week and college burnout and 628 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: our pitcher, I don't remember his name. I think it 629 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: might have been Aiden or or Garrett or something like that, 630 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: but they were trade athletic guys. Nice. That's pretty cool. 631 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: And uh yeah, I mean the big thing the Keller 632 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: did too, is just his slider has become ridiculously good. 633 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 2: He had a couple of miles an hour on his 634 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 2: UH on his fastball and his sinker.

It's not liniar man, it's not linear. 646 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: It's hard. 647 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: You go back and forth, like you can have a 648 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 2: five VR one year and come back in two years 649 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 2: learn new pitchould be an All star.

Dave Bender's a great guy and he's an 660 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: even better picture, which is crazy because exactly of a guy. 661 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 2: He's probably like the best splither in all of baseball. 662 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 2: It's disgusting he learned it from I always get the 663 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 2: story wrong. We've talked about it before. I think I've 664 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 2: said it wrong. He hit me Yates. Yeah it was Yates, 665 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: but it was someone else that did it too. Might 666 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 2: have been Nomo. Might have been like Nomo to Yates 667 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 2: and Yates to Bednar or something like that. But that's 668 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: where he got the spoiler from. 669 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: Pitch is great. 670 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,719 Speaker 2: He's throwing a curveball this year, throwing a curveball too, 671 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: But it's like quite good and. 672 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: He's really good. 673 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: Everything about Dave Bennar is really good. SIS ninety six 674 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: with that fastball, really good pitcher, really good. Dude, shout 675 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: him out. Hope he ate him a couple of times, 676 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna do anything. And the worst part 677 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: of this doesn't be the worst part of this, the 678 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: whole preview right here, because the most exciting pitcher in 679 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: the Pirates usually you guys have never heard of them. 680 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: Twenty eight other franchise in baseball. I've never heard of 681 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: this person. But there is one that knows him pretty well, 682 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 2: and it's the Mets. It's Colin Holderman. Colin Holdman is 683 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 2: throwing ninety nine miles an hour now and he has 684 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 2: a brand new what pitch was And I was looking 685 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: at it the other day, Sy there is something. Yeah, 686 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: it's just the Pirates now have like one of these 687 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 2: good pitching labs like Ben Chrrington took over that team 688 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: years ago and it's totally reworked, Like everything about their 689 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 2: organization looking good. 690 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: Yes, just to give you some bullpen stuff real quick. 691 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: With them, they have one, two, three, four, five five 692 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: relievers with twenty or more innings with an ERA under three. 693 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: Three of those have an R under two. Johann Ramirez, 694 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: who I believe was cast off by the Mariners a 695 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: few years ago. Guy who throws like one hundred. I 696 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: believe Darry Moretto was a guy I think that the 697 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: Reds rode off. And he's been fantastic. He's been unhittable. 698 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: Dave Bednar, Like you mentioned Jose Hernandez, I've never I've 699 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: never seen this man on the planet Earth's he's a rookie, 700 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: twenty five innings, he's been untouchable. Like they just they've 701 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: they've got something cooking with that bullpen. So they get 702 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: a lead. I saw a stat there thirty one and 703 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: oh when leading after the eighth inning. They have not 704 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: lost the game this year. 705 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: Johann has an insane slider. Johann Ramirez, It's really really good. 706 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: Dary mored is like just a pure drunk baller. But now, yeah, 707 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: the team seems interesting, team's fun. I don't know, it's 708 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: just it's it's terrible even just now break down a 709 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 2: couple of lineup guys who I think are interesting. Josh Plasio, 710 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: he's a Brooklyn kid. Yeah, it's pretty fun. 711 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: Local dude. 712 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: Brian, we're gonna shout out, where's your boy, where's your 713 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: boy game?
