15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: to episode number ninety two of the metsub Podcast, present

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: by the seven Line. A little less happy about this one.

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: We lost our first series of the year. We lost

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: our first series of the year to the Mariners. It

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: was an excruciating series. It was annoying. Every game was

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: what separated by like a run or two one run

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: every game just one run. It was really really close.

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: The Mariners are annoying, and I don't want to play

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: them the rest of the year. I've had enough of

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners. This is a pesky, pesky ball club,

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: and there was a lot that happened. I mean, Game

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: one was close, Game two was close, Game three was close.

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: This series, unlike the last one against the Nationals. There's

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about here. So we're gonna go

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: deep into every single game of this series, tell you

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: about everything that happening. Our thoughts are analysis. Everything that

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: we can talk about, we will. So if you guys

Speaker 2: But glad to be here, Glad for you include me

44
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: in this in this early segment of the show.

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, it's nice to get you hot and

46
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: ready start talking about some Mets baseball. You know, me

47
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: and you were going back and forth on a lot

48
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: of things the last few days text wise, so you

49
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: guys are gonna hear I think maybe one of the

50
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: first arguments on the podcast where me and James have

51
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: very very differing opinions. But we'll save that for a

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: little bit later. I mean, we're gonna say it for later.

53
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Where do you want to start? Well, I guess you

54
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: know what. You're right. We haven't done this in a

55
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: while because it must really haven't had anything of contention.

56
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: But I guess we'll just start off with Game three, right,

57
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the last game since you guys have been listening to

58
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: this on Monday morning, Let's talk about Sunday's day game

59
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: going up against Robbie Ray and we had Carlos Carrasco

60
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: on the mound.

61
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was just kind of one of those games

62
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: I feel like, I feel like that US Mets fans

63
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: were kind of ready.

64
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: For for a little while.

65
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: I'm at least like the first ninety percent of it

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: until the end. Because this game was kind of like

67
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: three games into one. But I was I think we

68
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: everyone's been a little bit collectively afraid that Carrasco another

69
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: Crassco bad game was coming. I love Carrasco. I talked

70
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: about Carasco a lot in the show, but he's not

71
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: an ace. He's a three starter. Sometimes three stars get

72
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: hit hard. And the offense has also been kind of meh.

73
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: And you got like Robbie Ran in the mount who

74
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: was really high upside, and he's a left seed and

75
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: the Mets have struggle a little bit lefties this year.

76
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: It just kind of felt like one of those games

77
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: that when you looked at it on the schedule, you

78
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 2: didn't get a goodeeling about it.

79
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and going into the series, this is the one

80
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: too that I remember you saying like, this is probably

81
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: the one where we like just don't really match up

82
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: well against the Mariners here. And it wasn't that Carrasco

83
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: necessarily pitched bad either. I don't think he just kind

84
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: of wasn't as sharp as we've seen him this year.

85
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: And like if he was our four or five started

86
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: right now, or if we didn't need length out of him,

87
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: because of course, Tyler McGill hitting the iel means that

88
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow is gonna be a bullpen game. I think we

89
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: would have been a little bit more okay with it,

90
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: But because there was like almost more pressure on Carrasco

91
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: to pitch better this game and pitch deeper into the

92
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: game like he has been, it was a little disappointing

93
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: that he just kind of wasn't that sharp. For sure.

94
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: It also made it worse because something we've said in

95
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: the last episode. It also kind of compound the problem

96
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: because this is something I mentioned about even that McGill

97
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: started from Washington, where the Mets did jump out to

98
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: an early lead after a very big game on Saturday,

99
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: will very loud Francisco anddor home run to the second

100
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: deck in left fields, which happened very rarely in city Field.

101
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: Crushed that ball.

102
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: Made it six of seven Mets games where they scored

103
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: the run in the first inning. And I was after

104
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: Crasky the clean first enning, which is kind of larious.

105
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: Now he just like has super clean first innings and

106
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: then the problems come later on rather than the whole

107
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: opposite of what was going on last year with him.

108
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: But you hate jumping out to a lead early like

109
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: that and letting a team just to get back and

110
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: back and back and back on you.

111
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: That's what the Mariners did all day on Sunday.

112
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were just they're annoying. They're super super annoying

113
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: because it felt like all series they were kind of

114
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: like blooping a little bit and not really like having

115
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: like the craziest hard hit balls. This game, I think

116
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: they had something like what like sixteen or eighteen hits

117
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: I think in Game three, which is absolutely insane. Eight

118
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: of those came against Carlos Carrasco, and a lot of

119
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: the hits were hit pretty hard. I mean, I know

120
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: he didn't necessarily give up the absolute nuke to Julio

121
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: Rodriguez that we saw later in the game, but the Marriagers. Yeah,

122
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: and cal Raley too. I forgot about his cal Raley Jesus,

123
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: that's horrible whatever. I mean, like, it wasn't his fault

124
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: why we lost this game. By means, he didn't help

125
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: the Mets win, try and win, but he wasn't the

126
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: reason for the Mets to lose. I don't think no.

127
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: But again, like you said, you really wasn't that sharp.

128
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: And this is kind of like the modern Carrasco where

129
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: he's gonna kind of teeter this line between like pitching

130
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: eight innings and giving up no runs in like five strikeouts,

131
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: or pitching four innings giving up five runs in like

132
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: four strikeouts.

133
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 3: Like those are not it's.

134
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: Gonna sound kind of insane, but just based on that

135
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: the managers didn't even have that many hard hit balls

136
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: today and it was just kind of like the succession

137
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: of hits rather than like getting into it out of trouble.

138
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: Those two types of stars aren't really that different for Carrasco,

139
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: and you kind of can see that in the way

140
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: that his pitch mix has developed this year, that he

141
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: is someone who is walking a line. I made a

142
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: potch in the last episode talking about Carrasco's pitch mix

143
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: from his last two starts. I said they were both

144
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: fastball change up. But Nick Pollock, we're hanging out with

145
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: him yesterday from Pitcher List. He actually and Friday he

146
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: told me this Friday we hung out in two days

147
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: in row.

148
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: It's a lot of Nick Pollock.

149
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: Nick, it's a lot of Nick.

150
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: But two starts to go to that Atlanta Star was

151
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: all fastball sly the last week, the Washington start was

152
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: all fastball change up. This start again was very heavy

153
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: fastball change up, a little less of a two pitch mix.

154
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: And those last two stars, those are both about eighty

155
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: percent between two pitches. This one was only sixty eight

156
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: percent between those two. And he still mixed in his sinker,

157
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: slider and curveball, but he just very clearly still doesn't

158
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: have a feel for that slider since I started two

159
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: times ago. And he got a couple whifs with the curveball,

160
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: but he and throw it very consistently, and the sinker

161
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: just it's I don't, I don't know, I don't really know,

162
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: crassical bricksasse sinker sometimes sometimes he doesn't don't really understand

163
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: it that well. But it's just it seems like he's

164
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: not really getting enough of a feel for those breaking

165
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: balls right now to be able to throw all of

166
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: his pitches.

167
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 3: And pitch was fullest potential.

168
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, me and you. I think from the beginning

169
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: of the year, since we got carss Grasco knew this

170
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: guy wasn't going to be an ace. He was never

171
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: brought here to be an ace. He on the outside

172
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: looking in from a very like basic level of looking

173
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: at the stats, you probably thought Carrasco was like, oh,

174
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: this guy's looking pretty good, Like this is our three starter, huh,

175
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: this is our guy or our four starter man, he

176
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: might he might be an ace on some teams. I'm

177
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: sure people will throw around that that's saying, but we

178
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: knew he's not an ace. We've been trying to tell

179
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: everyone that he's not like that. We still very much

180
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: think he's a very good pitcher. But like you said,

181
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: these starts are going to happen for a guy like

182
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: Carlos Grascow.

183
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: Especially against a team like the Mariagers. We're not gonna say,

184
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: like a very good hitting team, but they're a team

185
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: of professional hitters.

186
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: Like down the order, it's not you're.

187
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: Not really scared of anybody, but there's also not really

188
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: that many soft spots, so you get like the bottom

189
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: of the orlder like Steven Salaza and cal rale Usually

190
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: that's a soft spot.

191
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: But again, cal Raly hit a c ridiculous home run today.

192
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: But it's just they were kind of in the mix

193
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: every single at bad and when you're only mixing basically

194
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: fastballs and change ups, it's gonna be kind of hard

195
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: to fool these major league caliber hitters consistently.

196
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: You can get away with that.

197
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: The Nationals, of course, there's three major league killers in

198
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: that lineup, three and a half. I guess Hernandez declining,

199
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 2: but not against his Mariners team and not really against

200
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: many of the other teams are gonna there's gonna be

201
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: work in progress with Carrasco and with Tyler McGill's injury.

202
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: If it winds up being something keeps him out for

203
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: even three or four weeks, he's going to be much

204
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: more important part of this rotation.

205
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tyler McGill. Just in case again you guys didn't know,

206
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: he's on the il right bicep inflammation. His mom, Mam mcguill,

207
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: came out and said he's gonna be fine. Everything's gonna

208
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: be okay. So I trust the mother of the pitcher.

209
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure she knows exactly what's going on. We trust

210
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Julie McGill.

211
00:07:59,240 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: I'm a McGill.

212
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

213
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: It was so funny that she tweeted that out today,

214
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: Like people were just tweeing about Teller to go a

215
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: lot because it was scary. Also because the Mets said

216
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: he was on the I yelled and delete the tweet

217
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: and then say it again like four minutes later, so

218
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: I was like, ah, shit, what's going on here? This

219
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: is not that cool. So there was a lot of

220
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: just buzz on social media before the game. Also that

221
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: nice half hour before the Sunday games, and like, really,

222
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: I kind of like the one forty start, you kind

223
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: of ease into Sunday rather than the quick one o'clock.

224
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: It's it's a little nice of a buffer, especially after

225
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: the late game yesterday. But it's just funny having a

226
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: mom of a player, a baseball player, addressing an injury

227
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: on social media before the MRI.

228
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, very vital part of the Mets community on Twitter

229
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: right now. She's very vocal and we love it. Now.

230
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: We did mention Grasco gave up those four runs the

231
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Mets did after going up early go down early, and

232
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: something that this team's done really well all year long

233
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: is they do answer back. And right after Crasco did

234
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: give up those runs, we had a nice rally where

235
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: nimo jd Davis both hit two run triples in the

236
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: same inning, which Gary on the broadcast said is the

237
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: first time in Mets history they've had two two run

238
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: triples in the same inning.

239
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: Wow, that's pretty good.

240
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: There's a big triple day for the met I think

241
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: three triples to that big triple series. Marte had a

242
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: triple in Game two. Like there was just triples going

243
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: all around. It was nice to see JD get that hit.

244
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: He was pumped, he was super excited. I know you

245
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: were listening to the game on the radio, James, you know.

246
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: But they said that he was really pumped up.

247
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: They all said Nimo like showed as much emotion as

248
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: he's basically ever showed after a hit.

249
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: Nimo gave like and like almost forgot that he was

250
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: on base and that the ball wasn't playing. Joey course,

251
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: like get back on the bag, dude, Like, kid just

252
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: hang around off there.

253
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: Well, Canada did that after his stolen base in the

254
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: fifth fourth inning when he just he made it easily.

255
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: I think I hit and run that was kind of botch.

256
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: But he also overslow the base and got tagged out.

257
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was good. It was good. I

258
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: like seeing JD.

259
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: Davis swing the bat more. I also misspoke Mets and

260
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: hit three triples. Say those were the only two triples.

261
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 2: I think Abraham throw hit the third triple and Ward

262
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: Wescobar hit a triple two. I forgot about the squar

263
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: tribles for four triples in this game. Three by the

264
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: mess Yeah, three by the Mets.

265
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: At least. I don't mean the Mariners gonna have another one.

266
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: I honestly don't remember. I don't think they did. I

267
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: think it was just for sure. But I just I'm

268
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: happy to see JD swinging the bat better. I know

269
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: today again, like it wasn't the outcomes that you always want,

270
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: but even you know, the last few games, he's just

271
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: been hitting the ball really, really hard, and I think

272
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: the answer or the question has been answered. He just

273
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: he has to be in the line swinging the bat

274
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 1: more definitely makes the line up better, and especially with

275
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: how we saw Dom Smith play this series in his

276
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: limited appearances, JD's got to be the answer at DH.

277
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: He he just offers so much more at the play.

278
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: JD had two more hard hit balls on Sunday.

279
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: I think he had four at least three on Saturday night,

280
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: And it's just it's very clear that he is making

281
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: He's making the most productive contact in this team consistently,

282
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 2: and it's kind of ironic that the triple he did

283
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: hit today was kind of one of the softer balls

284
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: he's put into play. It feels like in a while

285
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: and Howie and Wayne as they like to like poke

286
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 2: fun at eggs of velocity, where like, ahhh, maybe he

287
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: should start, maybe he should star hitting the balls more. Sowtfully,

288
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe not, but the premise is there.

289
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: It's just he's very clearly one of the better bats

290
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: at least from a power perspective on his team right now,

291
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: and I think it would benefit the Mets a lot

292
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: to get his bat in the lineup at least four

293
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: days a week at this point, if not five.

294
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Definitely, especially with Escobar struggling, who's not really deserving more

295
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: at bats right now. I mean on the month of May,

296
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: he's sitting I think like one twenty with like a

297
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: three sixty seven or three eighty seven ops. Small sample.

298
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: It's like the numbers don't technically like stabilize, but no,

299
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: you can just hell by watching him play. Something's off,

300
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: something's broken right now. He's not probably as good of

301
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: a player as we once saw like early in the

302
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: year where we're like ooh Eddi Escobaum's like this guy's

303
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: a beast. He's also not as bad as this, but

304
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: he does need to snap out of it right now,

305
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: and it's just he's been a little bit of a

306
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: hole in this lineup, although he did get that late

307
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: triple anyway, moving past this rally of an inning, we

308
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: had Jason Shreeve come in who came in for Carrasco

309
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: got a tough out and then they left him. Yeah,

310
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: you got Jesse Winker, which was he was throwing a

311
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: lot of sliders too. They were talking about that. They like,

312
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: that's like three sliders in a row. He never does that.

313
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: Got the big out after Winker hit the home run

314
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: against him in Game two, which we'll talk about, but

315
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: he came out for the sixth inning to fix Jay Rod,

316
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: who is just known to crush left handed pitching and

317
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: Jered just.

318
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: Watching him from this series, like, it's very clear that

319
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: he's immensely talented, and I was pretty happy to be

320
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: able to get up close look at him for a

321
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: few days. But it's also very clear that he is struggling.

322
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: And I don't know if there's something that he could

323
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: be born out by stats over the whole season here,

324
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: but it seems like the veteran pitchers were really able

325
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 2: to take advantage of him while he kind of preyed

326
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: on the relievers.

327
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: You want to know what that makes sense though, too,

328
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: is because I mean, right now, like Julio, he's playing

329
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: really well, so he's actually like starting to look like

330
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: a major league player performance wise, at least for the Mariners.

331
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: But you gotta think a lot of those relievers are

332
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: basically for a players a lot of the times. Yeah,

333
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: and for a guy like Julio who dominates at every

334
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: single level except the major league level right now, that's

335
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: probably why he's having more success against those guys for sure.

336
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: But even a game where Crasco than have it, you

337
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: saw him kind of just keep j Rod very off

338
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: balanced a couple of times. I saw Schurez or just

339
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: kind of dice him up on Friday Night. We'll talk

340
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: about again later, but it's just to also refreshed listeners.

341
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: The three batter rule applies when you're facing three batters

342
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: in a single inning. The second that a pitcher completes

343
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: an inning, it doesn't matter if they faced one batter

344
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: or two batters, or technically is like zero batters if

345
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: there was like say a pickoff or a costealing or

346
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: something like that. Once an inning ends a three batter

347
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: the rule becomes completely null and you no longer have

348
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: to face a third batter if you leave the game

349
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: if you have faced one bat or technically against zero batters.

350
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: Actually don't even know what the ruling is. It's like

351
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: a pickoff for a cost sealing. Was that like a

352
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: zero batters that count as one batter?

353
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: I actually I don't know. I don't know either for statistically.

354
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: But you can come out of the game still true.

355
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: But then if you do come back in, like let's

356
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: say you face one batter, got a strike out to

357
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: end the inning, which Shreve got two outs to end

358
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: the fifth inning, Let's say you only got one. Let's

359
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: say you only got the winker out and then the

360
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: inning was over. He and if he did come out,

361
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: he would have to face two more batters. But again,

362
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 2: if you just get the third out in an inning,

363
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: the three batter rule does not apply to you. So

364
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: there's no reason that a lefty who was coming off

365
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: for his first rough performs to the year and chasing

366
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: Shreve needed to go through an up down and face

367
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: a righty who crushes lefties. And there were a lot

368
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: of people on Twitter at two about this, saying that, like,

369
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: you know, Bucke is just looking ahead. We have a

370
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: bullpen dae tomorrow again with Trevor Williams and Tyler Mcgillandry

371
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: said a few times, but you gotta focus on the

372
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: game that you're playing, especially a game that is very

373
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: close late in the innings. Like I would understand that

374
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: if the mes were really down three to maybe be

375
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: like I can like think about punting this game and

376
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: leave Shreven see if you get lucky.

377
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: But that was not the case here. I believe the

378
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: game was tied. Yeah. No, by no means am I

379
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: gonna make a direct comparison of like the Zach Britton

380
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: thing that went on and in Baltimore. But we are

381
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: seeing right now that Buck definitely has trouble handling a

382
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: bullpen right now. We've said this many many times now

383
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: throughout the season, despite the Mets being what twenty three

384
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: and thirteen at the time of recording, there have been

385
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot of questions with how the bullpen has been handled.

386
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: And one of the major things is these up downs

387
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: and trying to get guys to get more outs than

388
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: they're really capable of or should be trying to do.

389
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: Not that sure he isn't capable that he has gone

390
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: multiple innings at times this year. But it's just the

391
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: idea that there is a scary right handed hither staring

392
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: you in the face.

393
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: And it's not like the Mets argument.

394
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: There's just shortened pitching with no starting pitcher really ready

395
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: for tomorrow today besides Trevor Williams. But there's still a

396
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: lot of bodies in this bullpen, like you still have

397
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: these Holderman, you still does Medeina. Jake Reed just came out.

398
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: He has options like you could throw guys out there

399
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: tomorrow where it comes to worse.

400
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, ride Medina's not up, I don't think right now.

401
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: I think he went back down.

402
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Jake Reid has the spot of Medina.

403
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: But this is what's litle bit frushing too, is that

404
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: if Jake like I'm not vouching for Jake Reeve over

405
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: Chasen Shreve, but I think the idea is the same,

406
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: is that if we're gonna use that last spot in

407
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: the bullpen for Jake Reed, he has to be used

408
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: at some point. What are we saving him for form

409
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: when we're getting like Sheldon a game, which I mean

410
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: he could be saved for tomorrow because again the Trevor

411
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: Williams game. But I hate when you kind of look

412
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: ahead and try to think about the next game instead

413
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: of focusing on this one. And that's what it felt like.

414
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: It also kills us. It kills this bullpen. That seth

415
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: Lugo cannot go two days in a row kills this

416
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Mets bullpen because if you pitch him today for a

417
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: second day in a row, for sure he's not pitching tomorrow,

418
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: and he might need to pitch tomorrow again with everything

419
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: that's going on, It's just it's really frustrating because it

420
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: seemed like Buck was like, well, if I can get

421
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: Chasen through the sixth, I have Drew for the seventh,

422
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: I have Joelli for the eighth when he's gonna have

423
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: to face Winker in those guys, and then I have

424
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: DS for the ninth. And it seemed like he was

425
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: trying his hardest to stick to that plan as much

426
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: as physically possible, and it bit us in the ass,

427
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: because again, Chasen Shreeve should not be facing Hulio Rodrige.

428
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: And it was to get what like Mike Ford was next,

429
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: Like are we really saying we prioritized Mike Ford at

430
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: the plate more than Julio Rodriguez, who he knows a

431
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: better baseball.

432
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: Player, especially also when the lefty ready thing with Julio

433
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: is seems to be a big deal. No stats again

434
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: will better that right now, but it just is very

435
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: clear watching him play baseball, he's much more comfortable against

436
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: like a soft throwing lefty who's not exactly Wiley.

437
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: Maybe chasing Shreeve is Wiley.

438
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: But just not you know, not the most experienced, and

439
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: it's just you're just trying to thread the needle. I mean,

440
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: you can't try to thread the needle too much. He

441
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: just like does not allow margin forever there, and that

442
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: did bite the Mets in the ass. Of course, it

443
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: got significantly worse after this, and this game did feel

444
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: like immediately got out of reach because our got drew

445
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: chains another not so a great outing for him, which pays

446
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: me so much to say, gave up. Like we said before,

447
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: A loud, loud, loud, loud, loud home run to cal

448
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: Raley just absolutely smashed baseball.

449
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: Cal Rally, who has like bous what two or three

450
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: for thirty one I think on the air, not known

451
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: for his bat I don't really know what cal Raley's

452
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: known for and now he's known for this one. Was

453
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: known for his bat, like he had a good bat

454
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: in the minor league. He was drafted as a bat. Okay,

455
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: he just hasn't come through to major league loovely yet. Yeah,

456
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: and now you know all about this home run that

457
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: he absolutely crushed. Mariners just have Drew Chaine's number again.

458
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it when we go over the earlier games.

459
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: But Drew finally looked human this series, and this was

460
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: just added on top of it. And then the Mets

461
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: bats were pretty much dead like once that kind of happened.

462
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to say like they laid down, because

463
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: like the Mariner's bullpen's actually pretty good, but they weren't

464
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: having good quality at bats. I feel like they had

465
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: some chances here and there to make something happen and

466
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: couldn't come through, which we've seen time and time again

467
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: with this Mets lineup. It will happen. But I really

468
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: think if we're going to talk about, you know, what

469
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: happened after this, we gotta jump right to Paul sea Walt. Ye,

470
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: you're a Paul Seawald guy. You like him. I think

471
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: he's a good picture.

472
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 3: I've always thought he's a good picture.

473
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: You can't say you always thought he was.

474
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: I mean, like, since he's been good now his last

475
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: year and a half, but the Mets, I thought he

476
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: had like secret potential that was never going to be

477
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: born out, like I always just thought the other good Slyther.

478
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: That's fair, okay, okay, as those who clarify that, oh,

479
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't think I didn't always think he was a

480
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: good picture.

481
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 3: He was a met.

482
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: He was not a good picture, but I always thought

483
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: he had a chance to be a good picture. He

484
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: was horrible with the Mets. That guy stunk. He was

485
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: terribly terrible. Five to five VR, one point three to

486
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: six whip for his career, he was horrible. He's really good,

487
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: as you said, the last few years, including this one,

488
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: he's been pretty lights out. I think we can all agree.

489
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: That since he came back to the Mariners last year,

490
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: he has been one of the better relievers in baseball.

491
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 2: He's at least like a top twenty five percent reliever.

492
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: In baseball, if not a little bit better than that.

493
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: Between stuff, between strike gas, between swings and misses, he's

494
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: top of the line on all of those things. Paul

495
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: Seawold is a bona fide good reliever. The other side

496
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: of this is that he seems to have taken the

497
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: way that Mets fans treated him personally over the last

498
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: I want to I guess this is something that going

499
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: way back to when he wasn't match just because I

500
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: remember distinctly that Paul Seawold used to be.

501
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: Booed very often.

502
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that with booing from New York sports fans,

503
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: any sports fans, that Paul Seawald dealt with a probably

504
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: a barrage of hate on social media between things we

505
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 2: tweeted at him things and his DMS. So it seems

506
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: like this something that kind of motivated him a little

507
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: bit extra for this series against the Mets, something that

508
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: got swept under the rug with the Jerry Kelnick emotion

509
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: before Friday's game and Edward Diaz facing his former team,

510
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 2: was Paul Seawald also facing his former team, and he

511
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: had a lot of things to say about Mets fans

512
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: during the series, and after a clean inning on Friday,

513
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: and then after another clean inning on Sunday, he asked

514
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: the Mets fans, like Hulk Hogan, I can't hear you,

515
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: and that seemed to rub a lot of Mets fans,

516
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: including you, the very much.

517
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 3: The wrong way.

518
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, his comments I made after Friday Night's appearance

519
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: was they gave up on me, and they meeting the Mets.

520
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty nice to get a little revenge today. Most importantly,

521
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: we gotta win. I think that's fine but also not untrue.

522
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: But also that they gave up on me. It's not

523
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: like you can blame them.

524
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: True, it's not like you can blame them, But nobody

525
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: wanted this guy. Think about it, well, someone did want him,

526
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 2: because someone did pick him up, so clearly someone.

527
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: But that was also in the weird point of where

528
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: the Mariners are like, well, just we'll try anybody who's

529
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: been blaming for the New York Mets. Don't. I don't

530
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: want to say the Mariners wanted him. It bothered me that, okay,

531
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: So let me can finish on what he said. He

532
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: says his eighteen months coming, they got rid of me.

533
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: I was hoping I could get up here and pitch

534
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: against them. It's pretty nice to do well and help

535
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: our team get to win. Those comments. I don't have

536
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: problem with those comments, and like in all, honestly, he

537
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: can do whatever he wants this and that. I just

538
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: think he's a lame o. I think he's a hard Oh,

539
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: I think he's a rat. Fuck Now he's in that,

540
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: he's in that grouping for me. He's not there for me.

541
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: I see. Yeah, But you're a Seawall sympathizer. You love

542
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: this guy because he's good. Now.

543
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: No, but the thing is that like a comment like

544
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: Paul Seawold makes like they gave up on me, it's

545
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: not untrue. With all like the mess, they give up

546
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: on him, whether he can get warranted or not.

547
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: With the comment. Like the comments, the comment he made

548
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. It's more of the actions of like, dude,

549
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: you first off, you were so horrible, you were so bad,

550
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: you deserve to get booed. You deserve to get given

551
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: up on one under. You shouldn't have been on a

552
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: major league roster. And then to go out and do

553
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: this thing like after he does he pitched, well, he

554
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: pitched all the series. He shoved it to us one

555
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: thousand percent. Won't deny it, salty Mets fan, probably probably

556
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: because he fucking beat us. But I don't care. This

557
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: guy's rat. He did this, he's so relevant. No one

558
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: fucking cared. No one boot him when he did this

559
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: out on the field. Jesse Winker at least gets booed

560
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: and plays it up and has a little fun and

561
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: is like a really really good hitter. I know he's

562
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: struggling this year, but Jesse Winker at least has some

563
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: fun fit and plays the villain. Well, paulsywell you're irrelevant.

564
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: You're irrelevant. Ah for paulse you want to do this

565
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: and think he matters. Great that he got me talking

566
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: about it, so maybe he does.

567
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're like literally going against all of your

568
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: point by just having this diatribe.

569
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: But like, oh my god, what a fucking loser. It

570
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: the whole like a he stuck. He sucks so bad.

571
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: He sucks so true. So to be like, are you

572
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna boom me? Now, well, if you pitched like this,

573
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: we would have never fucking bowed you, but you stunk,

574
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: so we did because you were terrible. That's what bothers

575
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: me is that if you pitch like this, no we

576
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't have booed you, but you didn't cause you were shit.

577
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 2: But this is like what kind of comes from being

578
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 2: competitive and being a professional athlete. The guy who was

579
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: probably sick his entire life until the day he put

580
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 2: on a Mets jersey and then was only bad then

581
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: and then now it has been good again the second

582
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: he took it off. Like that's kind of crazy for

583
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: him to think about it, Like I would in my

584
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: head be like this.

585
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: Team, this team kind of fucked me.

586
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: These are the people fail me.

587
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: And also that's why I want to keep harping on

588
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 2: this phrase, like they gave up on me, They gave

589
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: up on me. Like he has to believe that, Like,

590
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: if you're an athlete, if there's any like five percent

591
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: extra motivation you can get anything to give yourself an edge,

592
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: you should take it because you're competing against the best

593
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 2: people in the world that you what you're doing. So

594
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: for him to like kind of harp on this and

595
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: play it up, sure he's doing it in a little

596
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: bit of a douche way, and sure that he it's

597
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: kind of a little lame that you're like chastising fans

598
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: of another team after the way they've treated you, even

599
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: though I think Mets fans can remember a situation last

600
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: year where this came up and it was also kind

601
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: of interesting.

602
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: Like the same not to see they're a little bit similar.

603
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: I think it's a little simplar I just I can

604
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: I see you got like Paul c Will just like

605
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: taking deep from motivation, like if this happened to a

606
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: different team, like it would be a total non story

607
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 2: if a middle reliever was But that's I think that's

608
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: the whole point though, is that it's because you know

609
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: you can go Mets fans, because Mets fans will take

610
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: anything that anybody ever gives them. Mets fans are dying

611
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: for a reason to jump on top of the soapbox

612
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: se how much they hate somebody, me and you included,

613
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: of course. But I don't think that Paul Seawell those

614
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: comments make him a rat fuck for me. He's never

615
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 2: like I don't know, He's just the common plays plays.

616
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: Lord knows the next time we were gonna face Paul

617
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: Sewell in the game, Like the rat focks are reserved

618
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: for guys who we face regularly and do bad things

619
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: to us, Paul s will just beat us. He was

620
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: just better this series than the Mets hitters.

621
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I think I think it's a

622
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: little bit of both. I'm saying he's irrelevant and then

623
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: talking about him, but then you're also saying he's irrelevant

624
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: and caring about what everyone else has to say about him.

625
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: So it's like, I think there's given take on both sides.

626
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's caring people have to say.

627
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: I think he cared what people had to say, and

628
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 2: now he's just like he said, he honestly admitted he's

629
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: like I'm happy to get a little bit of revenge.

630
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: Like there were Polsey Will probably.

631
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: Got minimum one thousand people in his DMS during his

632
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: tenure with the Mets saying like I hope you die,

633
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: you AF your family, AF, your wife, AF, your mother, AF,

634
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: your kids, Like people probably said horrible discussion World every

635
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: single day for years. So if I saw that, like,

636
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: even though that's probably not the way, maybe it's not

637
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: the way. I am usual because Pulty World actually does

638
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: seem to be kind of a cool, nice guy, like

639
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: his his social media presence is cool. He does something

640
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: he does like cool work with people on Twitter and stuff.

641
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: I just it just seems like a guy who's digging

642
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 2: deep and also a guy who did probably deal with

643
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: actual verbal abuse for years like in his in his DM.

644
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, it's just like he fucking rubbed

645
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: me the wrong way. I'm like, you fucking suck so bad,

646
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: and then to see you pitch well and then to

647
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: have confidence. Paul Sewald had a musk, has had zero

648
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: confidence when he pitched for the Mets. If he even

649
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: had a half of the confidence that he has right now,

650
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: he probably would have maybe not had a five to

651
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: five e R and gotten shelled every time he went

652
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: out there. But it's like, it's frustrating to see him

653
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: pitch well because he was so fucking bad, and then

654
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: to be confident and then to do this thing and

655
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: not even get booed. He didn't even get what he wanted.

656
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: I don't feel like he got boo a little bit.

657
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: On Friday, we were both there. He got boo a

658
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: little bit.

659
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 3: There were some booze. There was some definitely booze.

660
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: Fucking Paul Seawall. God damn it, I dude. And you

661
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: know what, I was so excited when they were coming

662
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: back to because I was like, I'm fuck Paul Seawald.

663
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm tweeting out every time he gives up a nuke

664
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: this year, I'll give a shit. I'm officially riding the

665
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: pols Seawalled hate wagon. I don't care what it is.

666
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: It's also because we we had a bet going from

667
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: the preseason that I'm gonna share it now. I'm gonna

668
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: win against you because of the Paul Seawall bet, Mark

669
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: would have a higher strikeout rate between Juvonnie Gaegos and

670
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: Paul Seawall, and Paul sea Wall's out to an incredibly

671
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: large early lee and then Mets.

672
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: Fucking helped him too. He exactly helped him a lot.

673
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: He's just a pretty good reliever. Like and again, I

674
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 2: am sympathizing with Paul Seawall. It's also because there's nothing I.

675
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: Like more in the world than pretty good relievers. That's

676
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: my favorite thing. Yeah, you do love it. I love

677
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: pretty good relievers. It's a hated class. Yeah. So it's

678
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: kind of like the Tale two stories now too, because

679
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: you have Jesse Winker, who we know is like the

680
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: Mets villain right now, and you have Paul Seawald, who

681
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: seems to maybe be a new Mets villain in Mets world.

682
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: Although again, I'm sure after tomorrow morning everyone's gonna forget

683
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: about Paul Seawald, but not me. I'm still gonnaweet ot

684
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: when he gives up nukes.

685
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: Paul Seawalls now suddenly a bigger Mets villain. Based on

686
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 2: the sample size from the Mets Up podcast. Betweeted out

687
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: two poles before we started recording here, and we're an

688
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: how we're into them. We ask Mets fans if they like,

689
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: don't care, don't like, or hate Jesse Winker and Paul Seawald,

690
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: and significantly more Mets fans hate Paul Seawald. Significantly only

691
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: five percent of Mets fans in our poll, which again

692
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: only got about three hundred fifty vous, so it's not

693
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: like an indicative sample.

694
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: A pretty good sample. Actually, it's not that bad.

695
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: It's not that bad at all.

696
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: But only five percent of Mets fans hate Jesse Winker.

697
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: If you ask this poll on Friday, it would have

698
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: been like ninety percent. Yeah, people hated Jesse Winker, and

699
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, now that he like, people realize

700
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: he was tongue in cheek for the last three years.

701
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: Now they like him, Like, all right, he was just

702
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: the whole way. But it's just kind of funny how

703
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: Mets fans love to get emotional and we're bodying it

704
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 2: right now.

705
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: No, it's actually pretty funny that ten percent of Mets

706
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: fans basically say they don't like Jesse Winker. For Paul Seawald,

707
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: it's fifty Mets fans do not like Paul Sewald, thirty

708
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: two percent don't care, which that's not liking to me.

709
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: That means you don't like the guy basically, and then

710
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: seventeen percent still like him, which that could, you know,

711
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: just be a little bit of people who honestly don't care.

712
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: But it is funny that Winker gets the sixty five percent.

713
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: I like this guy, And like you said, all it

714
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: took was one comment of him being like, literally, I

715
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: love playing here. I enjoyed playing with the team. When's

716
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker a free agent?

717
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: By the way, uh, this is fourth year in the league,

718
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: so I think after two more seasons.

719
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker just doing a little bit of you know,

720
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of homework, getting ready, preparing for when

721
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: he hits the free agent market. Okay, twenty twenty four. Yeah,

722
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: he can be a decent left handed bat that the

723
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: Mets could get in a couple of years. Buffalo guy.

724
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: Especially by that time, you could really undercut Winker because

725
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: he's going to be a corner of atfielder, plays no defense,

726
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 2: and can't move.

727
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 3: He basically people get him for like two years, twenty

728
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: five million.

729
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: He'll he'll be so cheap, he'll be sick. It'll be

730
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: awesome for the better in a couple of years. And

731
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 1: went to underpay Jesse Winker. That's how we get him

732
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: back for all this shit, of course, of course, but yeah,

733
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: it is. It is interesting how the discourse has changed.

734
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm the same way I like Jesse went greven. When

735
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: he did this goodbye thing, I was like, Damn, that's

736
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: like evil, that's evil. That's so good. Like he plays

737
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: like a heel where Paul Sewall to me's a whiny

738
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: little bitch and fuck Paul Seawold.

739
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say fuck Paul Sewall. It's just I

740
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 2: think he's just a guy having some fun. Honestly, he

741
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: probably doesn't like Mets fans. He also probably is a

742
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: reason not to like them. We gotta finished this game

743
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 2: because we're talking a half hour about nonsense.

744
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: This was the big, big game though, to be fair,

745
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: let's be honest, this is the one that everyone wanted

746
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: to talk about. The Mets did attempt to come back.

747
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 3: They were very very well, very good attempts.

748
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: We talked about Escobar having the triple, Jeff McNeil's single,

749
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: Mizek a single because Patrick mzek is the boy.

750
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: Can I mention that that where the West Gabar triple

751
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: to start the rally in the ninth was after fourteen

752
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: consecutive Mets have been retired. It's almost five full innings

753
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: of Mets being retired in a row by the Mariners' bullpen.

754
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: That's in the end of Robbie Ray start.

755
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 2: Which that's good, but it's not like it's not great, No,

756
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: and they just got they just got sat down repeatedly

757
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: for almost literally five foot inning.

758
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 3: Fourteen consecutive mets was on the.

759
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: Ropes for a lot of that too. But like we

760
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: said at Waterwest mar triple, McNeil single, Mazeka single, Nimo

761
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: slapped the double down the left field line. It doesn't

762
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: matter how exsit Vilos, eggs Vilos. What's that all about? Hey,

763
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: you analytics nerds, check this one out.

764
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: A triple in the double by JD and Nimmo.

765
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden drew second riders coming out

766
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: of the game, and we get to see Diego Castillo,

767
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: who's been just so horrendously bad this year he's getting,

768
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: giving up a ton of hits, giving up a ton

769
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: of walks, and Starring Marte comes to the plate and

770
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: has just one of the worst at bats I've seen

771
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: starring Marte ever. Have he took a hanger down the middle.

772
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: He took a hanger down the middle on a slider,

773
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: which I get, I guess you've taken a strike. I

774
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: don't like that. I think you should probably jump on

775
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: Diego Castillo whenever you can, especially when he's given up

776
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: tanks like he has been this year, and then he

777
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: swings at two sliders that were basically not strikes, goes

778
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: down on three pitches. They brought the infield in two

779
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: with one out and second and third, which that's that's

780
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: incorrect managing. That's wrong.

781
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: It's ballsy.

782
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 2: It's a team that really is trying to get a win.

783
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: That's probably why the Mariners have swung and actually lost

784
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: a lot of these one run games this year after

785
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: winning a lot of them last year, because kind of

786
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: just the luck of the bounce. But I was very disappointed.

787
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 2: That's Starling Marte at bat, and even though he has

788
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: been hot, he is very good. He's hitting three thirty

789
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: three in May with a five thirty seven slog, which

790
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: again is not really a sample, so those stats don't

791
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: be very much. But what they should tell you is

792
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: that he's swinging the bast significantly better than he did

793
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: in April. But even with that, I still harp on

794
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: the fact that I don't I said almost every episode

795
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: of the show this season, I just don't think he's

796
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: the two hitter for this team, Like I think this

797
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: lineup should go Neimo, Lindoro Alonzo, then you figure out

798
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 2: the rest. I don't care basically the order the rest

799
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: of the guys are in. That's how it's just started,

800
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: and I'm sticking to that.

801
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's probably harder to convince people on

802
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: that now, especially like he is playing really well in May.

803
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: I think there's like no no doubt about it. But

804
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: the weird thing that he as.

805
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: He's playing really well, and this again a small two

806
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: weeks sample, he's still not even getting on bas with

807
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: three fifty.

808
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was about to say. The weird

809
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: thing though, is that he doesn't walk. He does not

810
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: get on base. I think he has two walks in

811
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: the month of May, maybe one, and I wouldn't be

812
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: surprised if he was hit by a pitch on one

813
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: of those, which is kind of funny to say, but

814
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: he is hitting for extra base hits grants. It's a

815
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: Starling Marte way, which is a lot of like gap

816
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: shots are down the line.

817
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: It sounds like, you know, it sounds like sounds like

818
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: a great clean up hither I would like Starling Marte

819
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: in the four spy here. I want to get where

820
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: of the premonitions that you're cleanup hitter has to be

821
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: the biggest, strongest, fast guy in the team like Pee Alonzo,

822
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: and I wanted to just be the fourth best hitter

823
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: because that sling Marte definitely might be that. But we're

824
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: also seeing sling Marte does not even attempt steels anymore,

825
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: because I wouldn't want him attempting steals where Francisco Indor

826
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: and pe Alonzo up.

827
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: He will be more.

828
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: Valuable as a bastealer if he moves lower in the

829
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: order and he's stealing bases with guys like JD. Davis, Edwalde, Wescobar,

830
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: Markanna and Jeff McNeil at the plate. I think that

831
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: is where SOLR Marte can get the most.

832
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: Valid point, but bad at bat. They then intentionally walked

833
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: for Francisco Indoor to load the bases, which I mean ended

834
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: up working out. But that's another crazy decision. I know,

835
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: it's like, get you out at any base, but that's

836
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: nuts because with the guy like Daniel Castillo who's wild

837
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: and doesn't necessarily throw strikes all the time, you're really

838
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: putting the pressure on your pitcher for no reason, especially

839
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: when you add an open base.

840
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they were just scared of the lefty

841
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: righty thing. Yeah, with Lindor because the switch hither and

842
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: also just if you look at like probably a single

843
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: at back projection situation like that, even though Lindor hasn't

844
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: been good for the last two weeks, I'm sure he's

845
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: at like at least as likely as Alonzo to get hit,

846
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: and then you just get the advantage with the ready arriety.

847
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 3: With Alonzo.

848
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: It just was crazy, especially because the Castillo is erratic

849
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: and he truthfully should have walked through Alonzo if he

850
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: didn't swing in a very very bad three one slide.

851
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: He threw two strikes his entire appearance, and they were

852
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: two get me over hanging sliders that were first pitch

853
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: strikes or first strikes for each of the batters. Otherwise,

854
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: every other ball was not even relatively close. I think

855
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: it was a two to one pitch to Pete. Actually, yeah,

856
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: that he swung. I remember it was the second It

857
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: was the second strike. Yeah, it was a two to

858
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: one pitch. It wasn't a strike. I mean his ball

859
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: moves a lot. It's a lot easier said from our

860
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: perspective of like you should be swinging at that. Oh,

861
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: I think they shouldn't have swing. I just said it

862
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: was said he did swing. Yeah, like is a disgusting pitcher.

863
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: Like his slider is frightening, and his fastball is as

864
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: as the kids like to say heavy. It's a very

865
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: heavy fastball. He has a frightening arsenal. It was just

866
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: upsetting the sea. You guy like Pete who had been

867
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: swinging the ball really really really well, swinging the bat

868
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: really really really well, to not up through there. Because

869
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: the way this Mess season has gone all year, the

870
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: way sat the night went, the way just all these

871
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: games have gone late innings, way his whole inning went,

872
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 2: it just kind of felt like they were gonna do

873
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: it again. And it's we're almost like spoiled now. His

874
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: Mess fans for it not to have happened and be disappointed.

875
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: Would have been better just lose like Game May five

876
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: so much that rally just it made me more upset. Yeah,

877
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: it made it made me hate Paul Sea wald that

878
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: much fucking more. God damn it, Paul Sea walld Man.

879
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's let's jump back ahead now, Yeah.

880
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Let's jump back to game one. Game one. It's just frustrating,

881
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: super boring, super like. We were there, Yeah, we were there.

882
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: We can't hit Marco Gonzales. Ah, he's a soft contact well,

883
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: I called himself contact tank king. What did you call him.

884
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: A soft contact Artistan. Yes, he's not a king, he's

885
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: not the merchant. He's in between them.

886
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he makes fancy soft contact. He does some

887
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: soft contact well, but it's not consistent.

888
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: It's not all the time. But when he does, he does.

889
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: Marco Gonzalez, you kind of look at his game loge

890
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: for his career's hilarious because basically, once a month he'll

891
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: have a start like this where he goes like seven

892
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 2: or eight innings and gives up nothing, and I'll go

893
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: three and give up six, and it'll just be like

894
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: quality starts like six and three every other time like

895
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: he is a hilarious pitcher, a very stable, steady veteran

896
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: who like had some prospect appeal. I realized this after

897
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: he even recorded last week. He was traded one for

898
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: one for Tyler O'Neil about four years ago. Yeah, that's

899
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: crazy trade, and O'Neil was a prospect with pedigree. So

900
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: it kind of goes to show the way that Gonzales

901
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: at least was regarded back then and just the role

902
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: that he fills because he's really annoying. He stays around

903
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: the strike zone and he just pitches well sometimes. This

904
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: also was really frustrating because this was like the fourth

905
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: game this week, including games that happened after the fact,

906
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna count it where the Mets got off

907
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: to a hot start in the first inning and the

908
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: batches completely fell apart, just nothing, nothing happened after that.

909
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: Nimble hadn't field hit to lead off the game, Starry

910
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: might say, scored a double down the line, and then

911
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: we only scored one round with second and third and

912
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: nobody out, Like that just can't happen.

913
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: Wescubar had a really rough strikeout.

914
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: Mark Canna just couldn't come through two outs, which I'm

915
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: not blaming Marcana for that, but the Escobar strikeout was

916
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: like quick work. It was like three pitches like someone

917
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: walked in front of me in the section a mis

918
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: almost every going pitch the batch and he was already

919
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: going back tok goes.

920
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Like what the hell happened? Yeah, I mean early in

921
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: the series saw Escobar was hitting higher in the lineup. Obviously,

922
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 1: Now he's probably got to hit eighth every game, right

923
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: in front of the catcher spot if he's gonna be

924
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: in the lineup, just because he's really not offering anything

925
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: at the plate right now. This game, in particular, he

926
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: killed us and felt like he had at bat after

927
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: at bat where he could have came m through and

928
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: he just couldn't for us. And it sucks because Max

929
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: Scherzer was really good again because Max Schuerser is a

930
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: really good pitcher.

931
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: Really good and we talk about this all the time,

932
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: but like Max Suers' floor is like six or seven

933
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 2: innings with almost a strikeout per ending in like less

934
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 2: than three runs. And he did that again seven six strikeouts,

935
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 2: three hits, two walks, one earned a couple of rallies.

936
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: He worked out of late in this outing really started

937
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: out the game smoothly, just stupid Jesse Winker got that

938
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: freaking two out hit against him. That basically we have

939
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: ignited Jesse Winkers season now, Like I can't wait for

940
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: him to go on a tear because I have him

941
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: a lot of fancy teams. I can't wait for him

942
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: because I drafted them before he got traded to stupid

943
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: Seattle from Great America Ballpark.

944
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: But it stuck that it.

945
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: Really felt like he played up to like all the

946
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: shit with the fans, and it kind of like motivated

947
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: him to do better. And it gets started with a

948
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 2: big two out single off of a Schurezer and that

949
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 2: was like the of fourth or fifth inning. I remember

950
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: we running around stadium at this point. That was like

951
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: fourth or fifth inning off Friday. But just it was

952
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: cool to see Max kind of like working on a

953
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: new toy. He's always thrown this kind of like back

954
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 2: It's not backfoot color because the color isn't move as

955
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: much as a slider. It's a back thigh color as

956
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: pitching Ninja coins it. This weekend he threw him a lot.

957
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: He got a really cool strikeout of JP Crawford with it,

958
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: and then he also after that Jesse Winker hit something

959
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 2: I allude to before. He just said, Juli Rodriguez to

960
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: school with a couple of change ups low on the zone,

961
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 2: just made him swing out of his shoes. But that

962
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 2: Winker single did tie the game, and while Shre's were

963
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: only to give up that one run, he was visibly

964
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: upset with himself that he did do that.

965
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: But good on him to work out some.

966
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: Late rallies there and keep the game at least tied afterwards.

967
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 2: Just the only problem was that Mark Gonzalz was cruising.

968
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: We couldn't touch it.

969
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: I just couldn't touch him. Like, very uncompetitive at bats

970
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: against a guy who I guess he's kind of everything

971
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: that the Mets hate right lefty. We don't hit lefty

972
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: as well, soft tosser, don't hit him well, and he

973
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: throws a ton of strikes, so we can't use one

974
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: of the things that it goes to our advantage, which

975
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: is walking. That's one of the things that the Mets,

976
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they're like one of the best teams in

977
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: baseball getting on base. So he did the highest on

978
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: base percentage in the whole league. But for a soft

979
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: tossing lefty who throws strikes. It's kind of like this

980
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: weird perfect storm of like the Mets can't do it.

981
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: But also that's gotta stop. They have to just learn

982
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: how to hit this because really, in all honesty, there's

983
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: nothing that Marco Gonzalez does that you go, oh, yeah,

984
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: I understand why we aren't hitting this guy. It's just

985
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: like you said, it happens once a month. We just

986
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: happened to be that team this time. He's just he's

987
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: a solid pitcher. He's unspectacular.

988
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 2: It's frustrating, But guy like Mark Gonzalez, like the lifeblood

989
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: of this game of baseball that we've loved for one

990
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: hundred years now. He just comes out, he throws innings

991
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 2: and just he gets he gets out of it somehow.

992
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: But like this was such like the Mets only gave

993
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 2: up four hard hit balls entire game. Jady Davis had

994
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 2: three on his own without a single base hit. Yeah, Like,

995
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: it's just it's so crazy that these guys hit the

996
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: ball well. Starling Marte had two, Alonzo had two. One

997
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 2: that we're gonna talk about in a second because it

998
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: was one of the most the great things I've ever seen.

999
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: Lindor Nimo Escobar each had one, McNeil even had two.

1000
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: Tomasnito chipped in with a hit. All these things happened,

1001
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: and just somehow the balls were finding gloves and the

1002
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: Mets couldn't break through against Marvil Gonzalez or Paul Seawalls.

1003
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: This is when all the actions started because he got

1004
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 2: a big two out strikeout of Charlie Marte after Brandon

1005
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: Neimo double late in this game, which is another again

1006
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 2: run scoring opportunity. Stocking Martes is a good hit there,

1007
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: but situations like that really like our better hit this

1008
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: perss up at the top. Yeah, I mean I guess you,

1009
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: oh yeah, you want the Lindor hitting two thing.

1010
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: I was like, who do we go there? But I

1011
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: forgot you just move everybody up. Yeah, I'm interested to see.

1012
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: I want to take a look at this as we're

1013
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: kind of talking here, what Starling Marte is doing against

1014
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: sliders this year. I know, like it's kind of it's

1015
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: kind of hard because no one really hits slider as well,

1016
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: which is why everybody throws sliders now. But Seawalled slider guy,

1017
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: Dabe Castillo slider guy, and we saw him kind of

1018
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: have horrendous at bats against both of them. Looking at

1019
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: Starry Marte against sliders this year. I'm just gonna rattle

1020
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: off some baseball savant numbers. Surely they have meaning negative

1021
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: two run value small sample. Whatever he's seen eighty they

1022
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: mean the Yeah, surely is Eighty's seen eighty nine sliders

1023
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: this year, which is fifteen percent of the time. He's

1024
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: hitting one fifteen against sliders, one ninety two, slugging one

1025
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: sixty five wOBA a whiff rate of thirty five percent,

1026
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: k rate twenty three percent, hard hit rate of twenty

1027
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: It is like the worst pitch he hasn't that in cutters.

1028
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: He has no clue how to hit. It seems like, granted,

1029
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: they're hard pitches to hit for sure.

1030
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: And Paul Sewell has a very, very good slide. There's

1031
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 2: one of the better ones in this whole game.

1032
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it kind of, I guess makes sense as

1033
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: to why maybe he looks so foolish against these last

1034
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: two guys. But oh man, it really would have been

1035
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: nice if he came through one time in these spots.

1036
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: That being said, he did play well in every other

1037
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: at bats seemed like this series.

1038
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 3: It's just funny.

1039
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: His only two bad at bats is a whole series

1040
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: were situations where you were trying to bring a man

1041
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: in for a big run.

1042
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 3: Which sucks. That sucks, but it did happen. I saw

1043
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: playing gat ball though.

1044
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he was playing good ball. In a month

1045
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: of May. We also had like the unfortunate come to

1046
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: come to earth realization with Drew Smith. Gave him a run,

1047
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: a couple of hits, was getting squeezed or not. I

1048
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: shouldn'tay a couple hits, a couple walks because he was

1049
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: getting squeezed. He walked out the end of yeah, and

1050
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: then he gave up the hit obviously that ended up

1051
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: giving them the two to one lead. It was just

1052
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: it was it was frustrating, just because it's like, we

1053
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: know Drew Smiths God, he still is good. By the way,

1054
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: we don't. We haven't lost any faith in Drew Chains,

1055
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: but ah, damn it.

1056
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 2: But I do want to say that I was proud

1057
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: of our boy Drew after this performance because he gave

1058
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: up back to back walks and then a single to

1059
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 2: make it first and third, nobody out and a man

1060
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 2: already in, and he just went ape shit after that

1061
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: and didn't allow the Mariners to get even one more

1062
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: base run of the rest of this inning. So even

1063
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: though he did blow the lead his first and run

1064
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: in the entire season, at the time, it was cool

1065
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: that he kind of showed some fight and some real

1066
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: metal to keep the game where it was, just kind

1067
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: of showing us again to where his top end is.

1068
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: First and third one out, really really good chance with

1069
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: the run in. Yeah, with the run in, really really

1070
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: has to break it open. Yeah, I was about to

1071
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: say the game could have just been completely over there.

1072
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: Kept us in the game still despite blowing it, but

1073
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: kept us in the game. And I mean, let's let's

1074
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: fit rap this game up here. We have to talk

1075
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: about the Pee Alonzo non home run, which is disgusting,

1076
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: discussing Rob Manford should be thrown in jail for this,

1077
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: the fact that Peter Alonzo not jail. He should be

1078
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: thrown to the East River, put him in Guantanamo Bay

1079
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: whatever it is some to Guam. I don't know, that

1080
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: feels like a place that could maybe be prison, Like

1081
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: I mean, like Guama is I think Gwama is actually beautiyu. Okay,

1082
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: maybe I'm plinking Guantanamo Obe. Maybe maybe I think it

1083
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: makes it again maybe quad for kwamles rough with the cartel. Yeah,

1084
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: I think it's dangerous running running roughshot down. But one

1085
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: hundred and three point four eggs be low and thirty

1086
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: two degree launch angle is a barrel by all means

1087
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: it is a barrel. And the ball was caught what

1088
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: fifteen feet short of the wall? I mean that ball

1089
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: at the winning That ball should be out at every

1090
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: stadium anywhere. You hit it center field, right center. If

1091
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: it's at Fenway Park with the crazy centerfield there, that

1092
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: should be a home run. If the astro still had

1093
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: the hill in centerfield, it should be a home run there.

1094
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: And it wasn't even close. I what did they do

1095
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: to these fucking balls we saw today? It was a

1096
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: nicer day, It was hotter, and it was sunny, and

1097
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: the ball was traveling more today. Maybe it's something where

1098
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: because like the humidor and all this nonsense that they've

1099
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: decided to throw into the game all of a sudden,

1100
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: once the arbitration and extra money came in for the players,

1101
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: all this stuff is starting to happen to limit offense,

1102
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: which we know is gonna limit the money. Maybe when

1103
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: it's hotter, these balls dry out quicker and they'll fly more.

1104
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: That was, you know, Sarah's and Ken Rose all hypothesis

1105
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: from a from an athletic caarlog from about two weeks ago.

1106
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: And you have seen that in some of the hottest

1107
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 2: cities already, like San Diego has become a massive hitters park,

1108
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: which is kind of hilarious based on how that much

1109
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: has turned the last few years.

1110
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: And also this game on Friday night was bizarre weather.

1111
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 2: It was like the whole game was just like a

1112
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: very steady sixty degrees and wet, just like kind of

1113
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 2: misty and humid and just thick air. Great situations to

1114
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 2: pitch in, just bad situations for flight of balls. And

1115
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 2: also I just I did a little quick savant quarry

1116
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: on a similar type of ball and play like this

1117
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: between one hundred and three and one hundred and four

1118
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: mile an hour eggs of velocity and between thirty two

1119
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: and thirty three degrees launch angle in play at to

1120
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 2: the field. Since twenty fifteen, it happened fourteen other times

1121
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 2: before Friday night. Twelve of them are home runs and

1122
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 2: two of them are out. So that's crazy, so incredibly

1123
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: unlikely the ball hit with those exact parameters wouldn't go

1124
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: out to the field, even though.

1125
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 3: Again the ball wasn't pulled balls.

1126
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: They're polled.

1127
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: Even with lower gs vlosity the better chance of going

1128
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: out of the park. And it was the deepest part

1129
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: of city field, so sure, whatever. But I stood up

1130
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: when this ball left the bat and was jumping up

1131
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: and down screaming, and I let out a pro fanity

1132
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: Lay's tirade when.

1133
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: It was caught.

1134
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: Scared very much scared.

1135
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: Ellen Adair, who was sitting in our section, really scared

1136
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: the crab at her Ellen dare from Homeland and she

1137
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 2: looked at me like I had eight had She was like,

1138
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 2: that's a crazy person.

1139
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to sit near him with any games.

1140
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 2: Ever again, which is warranted because I probably said things

1141
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 2: about Rob Manford that I wouldn't wish upon, like international criminals.

1142
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: I think I stood up and gave gave one of these.

1143
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: I gave a fist pump into the ground, like let's go.

1144
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: No what.

1145
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 2: But this is also the nature of playing a team

1146
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 2: like the Mariagers who just are addicted to one run games.

1147
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: Every single one of these games could have been won

1148
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 2: or lost by ball teams. Yeah, like all these games

1149
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 2: could have been sweet for the Mets, A, Mariners or

1150
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: managers to one or the Mets two one, any every

1151
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 2: single option was in play until literally the eighth inning

1152
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 2: of every single game. Every single game hung in the balance,

1153
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 2: and just these tiny things like that cost them and

1154
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 2: that sucks.

1155
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: And that goes back to like Game two even now,

1156
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: which was chaos. It was nuts. It was crazy. It

1157
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 1: was also a weird night. We had the rain delay,

1158
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: We had the spritzing going on all night, another wet

1159
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: night because Seattle seemingly brought their weather with them when

1160
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: they came to New York, which please go away. Don't

1161
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: bring this weather anymore. It is beautiful today. You know

1162
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: what the coincidence is, Seattle's leaving. They're getting the hell

1163
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: out of New York, so please just stop bringing this

1164
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: weather with you. It was chaos. I was sitting with

1165
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: the seven line shots of them for the tickets. Always

1166
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: a ton of fun. Got on TV again, by the way,

1167
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: so you know Superstar over here. It was a crazy

1168
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: game though, from start to finish, like everything in this

1169
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 1: game again, like you were talking about, everything was hanging

1170
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: in the balance. I wasn't able to really relax much

1171
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: in this one.

1172
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 2: No, I mean I don't know how you could have,

1173
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: Like from the get go, it was just again, there's

1174
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 2: just a chaos baseball game. I like that the Mets happen,

1175
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 2: the range of outcomes to play these every once in

1176
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 2: a while, because chaos baseball is fun.

1177
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 3: I just don't really that much enjoy like being a

1178
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 3: part of it.

1179
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: No, I want easy wins. I want like, maybe they

1180
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: won't do as well for episodes, maybe won't care if

1181
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: any listens. But I love an easy win. I love

1182
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: coasting and being like, wow, no stress easy they won

1183
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: five nothing? How about that? Or was it never a

1184
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: chance that they could win this game? Like? That's what

1185
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: I strive for. This game was not that we did

1186
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: out early, though we had a four to nothing league

1187
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: all three games.

1188
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:03,959
Speaker 2: This, seri is the best score, the run the first inning,

1189
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: all three and that is happening. Of course, when Starry

1190
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: Marte is hot and Brandon Will stays scorging hot to

1191
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: Brandon Nimo dig get a hit. So now Nimo's hit

1192
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 2: streak is twelve games, on base streak is twenty six games.

1193
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: Twenty six or twenty seven.

1194
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just he's so fucking good, freaking good, freaking good.

1195
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 2: And Francisco Lindor getting off the Schneid had two RBIs

1196
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 2: in his first three at bats on Saturday, so startin

1197
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 2: looked good.

1198
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 3: Things felt good.

1199
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: And then even with the offense playing well early, Chris

1200
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: Bassett once again freaking fantastic, quickly becoming literally one of

1201
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 2: my favorite players in all baseball. Five super clean innings

1202
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: and he got in trouble in the sixth that happened,

1203
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 2: but didn't give up an the extra base hits through

1204
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: five and two thirds against the good team and the

1205
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 2: Mariners eight strikeouts, which is one of the higher rates

1206
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 2: I've seen for basket this year, even especially not having

1207
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 2: complete six innings, three walks, five hits, one earned. Again,

1208
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 2: I have really just come to enjoy these basket games

1209
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 2: because from a pure pitching perspective, he does so many interesting,

1210
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: cool things on the mound, Like he threw six different

1211
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 2: pitches in this game at least ten percent of the time.

1212
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he does.

1213
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. Like Pete, the best bitch in baseball history

1214
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 2: of not been able to do things like that. Five

1215
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: of them got whiffs all except his change up, and

1216
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: he got twenty five percent wifs overall, thirty two percent

1217
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: called in swing strikes. He was just so common in control,

1218
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 2: and there weren't even that many like one, two, three innings,

1219
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: like there are always base runners here and there, but

1220
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: he just I never felt very.

1221
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: Nervous that Bassett was going to let anything happen.

1222
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: Extend Bassett, baby, extend Bassett, keep him here for a

1223
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: little bit, because he's a very, very good pitcher. He

1224
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: was also battling with working with Patrick Mezka for the

1225
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: first time. Patrick Mozeka caught him in the spring. But

1226
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know, typically the picture

1227
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: decides what pitcher is being thrown in a spring trading, bullpen, fastball, curveball.

1228
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: He gives the signs with the glove when he's out there,

1229
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, doing warmups in the bullpen on the field.

1230
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different. But they weren't using PitchCom

1231
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: And the first any of this game took fifty minutes

1232
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: and I think it was two hours in and we

1233
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: were in the fifth inning. It was a long game,

1234
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: a lot of stepping off, a lot of trying to

1235
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: figure out the signs, a lot of this and that,

1236
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: And despite working with a new catcher who he definitely

1237
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: wasn't comfortable with, they were, you know, talking in between

1238
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: every inning, he did a great job. He really you know,

1239
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: nutted up to say that have a really bad terminology,

1240
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: but he nutted up, pitched really well, and then Lugo

1241
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: to come in when there was a little bit of

1242
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: trouble talk about nutting up too. He came in and

1243
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: got some big outs for us when there were guys

1244
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: on base in the sixth. Also shout to book, that's

1245
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do with bullpen. Huge moment in

1246
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: the game, could have changed the outlook, and he went

1247
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: to one of the best relievers. That's the kind of

1248
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: stuff that we want to see, not trying to extend

1249
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: guys to get extra outs because we're trying to push

1250
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: forward to get more innings because of Monday.

1251
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: True, but the irony is that even after getting I

1252
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: don't know if it was the last out of the

1253
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: sixth and the last two, it was getting the last

1254
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: out of the sixth, he did come back out for

1255
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: the seventh, which I don't hate because said Lugo kind

1256
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: of has to be able to get four outs as

1257
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 2: one better lievers in his bullpen. So I'm not chastising

1258
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: Buck for this, but this is something that happened where

1259
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 2: suddenly JP Crawford and Heno Suarez got back to back singles,

1260
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: and then you have to take Lugo out of the

1261
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 2: game because the talented left handed hither and Jesse Winkers

1262
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 2: coming up, and this son of a gun just roped

1263
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: a home run to make a game that was suddenly

1264
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 2: set felt out of reach throughout to becoming tied in

1265
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: the blink of an eye at four.

1266
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: For Jesse Winker watched that ball. He absolutely demolished it too.

1267
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: He demolished it. Do you see Chasen Shreve shouting at him. No, Oh,

1268
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: Shreve was screaming at him because he watched it. He

1269
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: admired it, and Chason S. Tree was telling him get

1270
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: the get the fuck on well, run the fucking bases.

1271
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: He was so hot. And I don't even think that

1272
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: was like a I don't like that you watched it.

1273
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: I think that was more so Chasen Shreve was hot

1274
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: that he just gave up a home run and then

1275
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: like that's just like one of those things where it's

1276
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: like a little thing bothered you and you just fucking

1277
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: lose it, like you snap. And I think that's what

1278
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: it was, because I mean, the Mets have watched some

1279
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: home runs. I mean, got some guys on the team.

1280
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 1: Now we'll look at him. I didn't find anything wrong

1281
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 1: something Yeah. And also pim job, I mean winker man,

1282
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: great villain, waving goodbye after he hit the home run. Again.

1283
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 1: He he knows his brand. He's really good at it. Again.

1284
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: Can't wait for these and queens in a couple of years.

1285
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 2: But it's so easy to impress Mets fans though, he's like,

1286
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: he's just such an asshole, and then he just like,

1287
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I love it.

1288
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: Did so much fun. Mets fans like, oh, we like

1289
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: you well, because he doesn't hate us. He just plays

1290
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: up to what we're we're booing him. He's like, all right, fine,

1291
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: you want me to be the bad guy, I will be.

1292
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: I bet he did kind of hate them at first,

1293
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 2: like that first time, like twenty eighteen or twenty ninety,

1294
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 2: when he wasn't even good. He and he made a slow,

1295
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 2: lucky slide and catch. That was the whole reason almost

1296
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: even started in.

1297
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: The home run to a bad team home run off

1298
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: of Diaz too.

1299
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 3: That's what That's what.

1300
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. But I think he said even after that game

1301
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: that he was getting so much shit from the fans

1302
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: that he was like, I'm gonna wave goodbye to them

1303
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: because we just won. He didn't. He never said that

1304
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: anything about like I don't like these guys. And I

1305
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: remember the next time they came. Even the next year,

1306
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: he was signing baseballs for all the Mets fans and

1307
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: like he was excited. He saw the signs. He loved him,

1308
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: like he has fun. That's why I like him more

1309
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: than that Rat Pulsey world. He's also a Rangers fan.

1310
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: We saw him cheering the Ranger goals that are being

1311
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 2: broadcast in the jumbo Tron during Friday night's game. We're

1312
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: recording this moment before Rangers Game seven. Buffalo Guy decided

1313
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: to go watch that. Yeah, so it's kind of cool

1314
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 2: with that. But now we've gone somehow fifty minutes of

1315
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 2: this episode without mentioning Patrick Luino and the legend that

1316
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 2: was born out of your I don't even know what

1317
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: to call it, out of your your decisions.

1318
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: You named a kid, which is unbelievable. Yeah, you know,

1319
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: congratulations to me. Whenever the baby comes, his name will

1320
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: be Patrick, which is a real Italian Greek name right there. Patrick, Noh, Yeah,

1321
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: it's good that it's a good. It's a good name

1322
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: right there. Patrick Luino rolls off the tongue. So what

1323
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: the word union he's gonna be in? I have no idea,

1324
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: but I was sitting with the seven line, and of

1325
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: course everyone's having drinks, everyone's feeling good. I'm sitting next

1326
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: to Zappa. If he's listening to this, was talking to him.

1327
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: Andres Munoz comes into the game for if you guys

1328
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: don't know, we mentioned him in the last episode. Guy

1329
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: throws like one hundred and two with a devastating slider

1330
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: and I was going, yeah, this guy's unhitable. Great, we

1331
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: got Patrick Mezica going up against Andres Munio's. I wonder

1332
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: who's gonna win this one. This guy can't be touched.

1333
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: And he goes well, not for Mesica, clearly being tongue

1334
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 1: in cheek, like making a joke. He's like, he's gonna

1335
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: hit a home run, and I immediately go, if Patrick

1336
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: Mezka hits a home run, I'll name my firstborn Patrick.

1337
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: He's like, tweet it. I put out the tweet and

1338
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: as soon as I hit sent, crack of the vat

1339
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: and I go, did he just hit a home run?

1340
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: And everyone's freaking out I was celebrating. Of course the

1341
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: video of the seven line made that was like two

1342
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: different reactions, but it was great, great content by all means,

1343
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: that was one of the best. Is that a TikTok

1344
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: was that? I think. I think he did Instagram and

1345
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: Twitter and that was one of my favorite tiktoks I've

1346
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: ever seen. You know, it was really really good. But

1347
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: my reaction after the celebration of oh my God, was,

1348
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's on Twitter. That is public. I

1349
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: could I could have told it. I could have told Zappa,

1350
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: the guy sitting next to me and maybe never seen

1351
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: him again and knowing would have known. I put it

1352
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: on Twitter and within five minutes had like a thousand likes.

1353
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mazeka retweeted after the game, which I think is

1354
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: really funny. So if we ever get him on the podcast,

1355
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: definitely have to bring that up at some point and

1356
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: let him know that he's the reason why my first

1357
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: born first I didn't even say son first born. Yeah.

1358
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Bourne's a pretty name for a girl. Patricia. Can

1359
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: I you think I could slide with Patricia for that one?

1360
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: I think I think I think the people let you

1361
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 2: slide with with Patricia and just all This also just

1362
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 2: adds to the folk legends of Patrick Maziko, who was

1363
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 2: up last year and multiple walk offits.

1364
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 3: It didn't leaves the infield.

1365
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 2: And now after a game that's felt like the mess

1366
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 2: we're letting get away from them. After a game that

1367
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 2: got away from them on Friday, I had of a

1368
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 2: pitching matchup where they were the clearest advantage. On Sunday,

1369
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 2: he swooped in and saved the day against literally one

1370
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 2: of the scariest relievers in.

1371
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 3: All of baseball.

1372
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 2: So it's just it just adds to it. Man, Like

1373
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 2: I love this guy is insane, just a great player.

1374
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: That and he's wearing number four. Wilmore Floor is his

1375
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: old number. There's something with that number four that's like special.

1376
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: He's a lefty.

1377
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: We kind of have kind of glossed over the fact

1378
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 2: that that's kind of a really valuable platoon partner for

1379
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 2: a major League baseball team if he can hit again.

1380
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 3: He didn't hit that well in Triple A this year.

1381
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 2: But like, if you see a guy like Mezka who

1382
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 2: kind of taste of the major league baseball juices to

1383
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 2: now be down Triple A and kind of just longing

1384
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: for the opportunity again, if he can even hit a

1385
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 2: little bit, if he could have a six league average OPS,

1386
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 2: which is about six seventy, will be actually valuable asset

1387
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: as he fills in for James mckats.

1388
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny too, because you talk about like

1389
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: going down triple A. He knows that the only way

1390
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: he's getting called up too on this team is if

1391
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: someone goes down with an injury. So it's almost like

1392
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: for him, try not to get hurt, like, because I'm

1393
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 1: gonna get If I'm hurt and one of them gets hurt,

1394
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be me. I can't get called up.

1395
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: But if I'm healthy, it's me. I'm the next guy up.

1396
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: Glad that he got called up. He had a hit

1397
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: in the game three today too, Like he swings the bat, yeah, okay.

1398
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: Gary on the broadcast goes, is it disrespectful to say

1399
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: that his swing's real funny looking like, and he's like,

1400
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: I don't think it's disrespectful. You're telling the truth. It

1401
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: is a little funny, Like I don't understand how he

1402
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: hits because he changes his eye level as the pitch comes,

1403
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: which is insanely hard to do. He goes from like

1404
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: all the way up here to way down low. But

1405
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: he really he caught all that one against Andres Munyo's

1406
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: And now my my first born's name is Patrick Luino,

1407
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: and I have a great meme that I'll be able

1408
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: to use in five years whatever. I have a child,

1409
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: and I can tweet out picture of the baby and

1410
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: go meet Patrick, like you're gonna have a child in

1411
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: five years. No, I'm twenty six. I have no idea

1412
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: thirty thirty one.

1413
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 3: That seems fair. I guess he got a lot of

1414
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 3: maternity do in the next.

1415
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: Five Oh for sure, I'm not. I didn't say twenty

1416
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: six year old Mark Luino's doing this.

1417
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 2: Got Yeah, I come back from two bags of chips

1418
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: to day the one twenty twenty seven.

1419
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what the world's gonna look like then.

1420
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 3: Oh god, I can't talk about this.

1421
00:52:54,840 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: But after he hung one two and he hit it

1422
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: about four hundred feet foul, to which my heart dropped,

1423
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 1: I was, oh, no, like he did it again, no way,

1424
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: But luckily we got him out. Uh. When Diaz was

1425
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 1: coming out for you know, coming into the game, all

1426
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: the Mariner's bullpen guys came out and started watching the

1427
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: whole the festivities I've never seen that before. They were like,

1428
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: I gotta see what this action is all about. Paul Sewald,

1429
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: that rat, he was the first one out there watching it,

1430
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,479
Speaker 1: So I'm so confused, what's going on with this guy?

1431
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 2: Dude, relievers are persecuted the class man to fellow relievers,

1432
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 2: especially guys in that Seatle organization.

1433
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: They probably hear folk.

1434
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 3: Tales about it.

1435
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 2: When Diaz his heroics through the years. The guy's a legend.

1436
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 2: He's one of the better relievers in baseball. That organization

1437
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: developed him, like people want. He has like one of

1438
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: the best walkout songs literally in the sport, Like he

1439
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,720
Speaker 2: is something to watch.

1440
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: We had a high school friends of the game last

1441
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: night shout out to Sanjay if he's listening to this,

1442
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: who had not been to a Mets game ever, and

1443
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, if Edwin Diaz gets in the game,

1444
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: get ready talk about an atmosphere. It's going to be electric.

1445
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: And he did. So. I hope Sanjay enjoyed it. I

1446
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: didn't see him after the game, but I mean, you can't.

1447
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: You can't ask for anything better than those trumpet.

1448
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 2: No, nothing at all, and this now in a top

1449
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 2: to turbo way wrapped up a series who talked about

1450
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 2: two losses followed by.

1451
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: The one win.

1452
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: Just that's kind of a nice thing to keep Mets

1453
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 2: fans feeling semi optimistic because the Mets didn't really play

1454
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 2: poorly in the series. Somethings went their way, some things

1455
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 2: didn't go their way. And this isn't really a series

1456
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 2: loss that we can say that we're gonna like the

1457
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 2: world the sky is falling. It's really just the fact

1458
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 2: that we did lose a serious and now we can't

1459
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 2: say the Mets haven't lost a serious yet this year. Yeah,

1460
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 2: that's the only real disappointing thing about this, and we

1461
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 2: have a very big series coming up that we need

1462
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 2: to stay focused for.

1463
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like the college basketball thing, like

1464
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to be undefeated too long into the season.

1465
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 1: You gotta get the loss out early, because that way

1466
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: you can be focused on winning again and not worried

1467
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: about being perfect. The Mets, we lost a series as

1468
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: to a Mariners team that is better than the record indicates.

1469
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: I think. I think they're pretty good ball club. A

1470
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: lot of people expect him to be a playoff contender

1471
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: this year, and I'm sure they're gonna improve this season

1472
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,479
Speaker 1: goes on. It just thinks because again, we could swept

1473
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: this series. We could have gotten swept this series. Every

1474
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: game was decided by one run and the Mets we're

1475
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:13,439
Speaker 1: just on the wrong side of it for the first

1476
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: time all year. Which that's gonna happen.

1477
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, down to the ball, crack of the bat, like

1478
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 2: this thing's happened this baseball, Susan, that's it again. I

1479
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 2: want to real rate that the mess of a very

1480
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 2: big series that is starting later today on Monday against oh,

1481
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 2: you have against the Saint Louis Cardinals. First two games

1482
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,919
Speaker 2: this year are gonna have Trevor Williams and Taiwan Walker.

1483
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be mean, all hands on deck type

1484
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 2: of series against a team that we literally had a

1485
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 2: fight with three weeks ago.

1486
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, we did have the fight. How did

1487
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: I forget about that? Oh? This canna be fun. I

1488
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: don't know, this could be really fun. This can be fun,

1489
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: all right, So pitching matchups give it to us real quick.

1490
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: You said, Trevor Williams, Taiwan Walker? Who are they going

1491
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: up against?

1492
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 2: Trevor Williams against Miles Mikolas. So Micholas really got ahold

1493
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 2: of us last time. I really hope that we saw

1494
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 2: something and are able to get to him this time.

1495
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 2: And Taiwan Walker against old friends Steven Mattz making his

1496
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: return to City Field. Very very interested to see how

1497
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 2: Steven is received by the Queen's Faithful and Wednesday game

1498
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 2: I'm game. I'm going to Max Cheres versus Jordan Hicks

1499
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 2: should be really really really cool. We got to Jordan

1500
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 2: Hicks last time. Max SHARE's across the Cardinals last time.

1501
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: I like that.

1502
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 2: And then Thursday ESPN Day Game one o'clock Chris Basses

1503
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: versus COLDA Hudson.

1504
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: So it's nationally televised game, so you can expect the

1505
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: bounty balls to be back.

1506
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 3: That's true. Actually it's pretty cool against to Colta Hudson too.

1507
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: I like that.

1508
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 3: But this is good.

1509
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 1: Actually Hudson and ground ball shit.

1510
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 2: But I'm not even gonna say that the Cardinals have

1511
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 2: pitching advantages in the series because they're not really throwing

1512
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 2: that that interesting pitcher is. Luckily in four games we're

1513
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: missing Adam Wayne Right. Bank the fucking heavens that were

1514
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 2: not facing Adam Wayne Right because he would just.

1515
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: Once this year, not once this year.

1516
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, God. But that also means that last time from

1517
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 2: the end of last year when he shut the Mets

1518
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 2: down free and exactly the last time he faced.

1519
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 3: Them, as that makes me upset.

1520
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 2: I wish he was I wish he was getting a

1521
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 2: start just so we can send them out against the

1522
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 2: Mets a bad note because he's had their number forever.

1523
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be very important for the Mets to

1524
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 2: bounce back off this first series loss and get a

1525
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 2: hold of the Cardinals in the series, especially when they're

1526
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 2: going to be a significant disadvantage on Monday's game with

1527
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 2: Trevor Williams and a bullpen game going against Miles Mikolas,

1528
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 2: who he's probably he's the best pitcher of the Cardinals

1529
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 2: are throwing the series. I can say that relatively.

1530
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he would have to be, and he's

1531
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: having a pretty good year, so I mean, we've soon

1532
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: have success before the Lizard King because he ate an

1533
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: actual live lizard, which nobody knows about. I've told many people,

1534
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: like in baseball, and they had absolutely no clue. Absolutely

1535
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: wild dude. Hopefully we smack him around. Would love to

1536
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: just the Cardinals are so annoying, especially with the fight

1537
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: and everything keep an eye out. I don't think we're

1538
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: done there. I think there might be a little bit

1539
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: of something going on. I wouldn't be surprised if the

1540
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,479
Speaker 1: first pitch to brand Nemo, you know, comes a little

1541
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: close in Game one.

1542
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that.

1543
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 2: But actually, probably not Mikolas, because he's a guy that

1544
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 2: probably counting on for length in this series. I could

1545
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 2: see them getting at with someone later in the series,

1546
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 2: possibly reliever late in a game. But the Cardinals are

1547
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 2: playing on Sunday Night baseball. But when you're listening to this,

1548
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: the Cardinals already played on Sunday Night Baseball. You guys

1549
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 2: know how that game ended. But we were going to

1550
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 2: save that one. So they are going to have to

1551
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 2: travel after a late.

1552
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: Game, which I guess that's a tiny little bit.

1553
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 3: Of an advent.

1554
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: Are they in Saint Louis? Okay? So it's not a

1555
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: red eye from San Francisco to New York that.

1556
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 3: Would have been huge. It's probably going to be a

1557
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 3: red eye from Saint Luci.

1558
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it still is, but a red eye

1559
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: from you can be read no matter what.

1560
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a couple three hours less of travel.

1561
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 2: Of course, of course, but that's that's.

1562
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 3: Something just looking for an advantage.

1563
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 2: And I have a new cardinal to watch the serious,

1564
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 2: a guy who was not on the team the last

1565
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 2: time he played them, but who has become a staple

1566
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 2: of their lineup since Wandia Pez. Oh yeah, long time

1567
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 2: underrated prospect. One of those guys who just doesn't really

1568
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: look like of All Star Baseball hither. He's not really

1569
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: the tallest, he's not really the strongest, he's not a

1570
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 2: very good defender.

1571
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: He's just not one of those like, you know.

1572
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 3: Got a baseball body kind of guys.

1573
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 2: And he's never really had a home, especially because he

1574
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 2: was a third basement, first basement coming up in the system.

1575
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 2: And of course the Carlos have Paul Golschman Nolan are

1576
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 2: not out of there. But as the Carlos have been

1577
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 2: seeking offense, they started Corey Dickerson like thirty games in

1578
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 2: the first four weeks five weeks of the season, which

1579
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 2: is just malpractice.

1580
00:58:59,280 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 3: Yep as has come.

1581
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 2: Up, he's DH he's been playing a lot of left

1582
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 2: field for them, and he's thirteen first thirty seven in

1583
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 2: the pros with two home runs.

1584
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 3: The guy can really swing it. He is a true hitter.

1585
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 2: He's a little bit old, different prospects, So is there

1586
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 2: not gonna be as many growing pains? I suspect with

1587
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 2: his transition here. And he's a guy who's already up

1588
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 2: to the cleanup spot in this Cardinals lineup consistent.

1589
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: He's a guy that you told me about last year,

1590
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: was on your radar, looked into him, watched some play, go, oh, yeah,

1591
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: this guy's a hitter. He's a really really talented hitter

1592
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: at the plate. And also what Ryan Helsley league, right,

1593
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: He's still on the roster. He's not hurt. Yeah, we've

1594
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: been talk about Ron Helsey.

1595
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: Ren Helsley throws like one hundred two miles an hour

1596
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 2: and is running up basically fifty percent k rate so

1597
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 2: far this season.

1598
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: Basically the only guy giving Edwin Diaz right now like

1599
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: the run for the money, is like the best reliever

1600
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: in baseball right now like this season statistically, Yes, statistically I.

1601
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 3: Mean Josh Hayter.

1602
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 2: We can't. Josh Hayter's hands down the best believer in baseball.

1603
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 2: But Hellsley is kind of discussing the Cardinals also find

1604
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 2: a reliever basically every year, no more, no less, and

1605
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 2: it's not usually guys who always have like the most

1606
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 2: staying power guy Goos has to have some staying power.

1607
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 2: Alex Rays came on hot last year, then he fell

1608
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: apart and now's on the items with New Jersey.

1609
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Played full count baseball a year older than I was.

1610
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: But I got to I got to catch a bullpen

1611
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: next to him throwing one, and I was terrified.

1612
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 3: I was scared that. Yeah, that does sound scary.

1613
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 2: But Cardinals are a talented team who play fundamental baseball

1614
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 2: and do not make many mistakes. Let's play better than them,

1615
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 2: and let's win this series three to one and put

1616
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 2: this team out of its misery and open up a

1617
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 2: nice sizeable lead over them for what could be a

1618
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 2: team that we're competing with, depending on how the rest

1619
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: of the season goes, for either seething or for wildcard spot.

1620
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 2: Very important to win these games against the Cardinals, the team

1621
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: again we're directly competing against for the nationalage playoffs.

1622
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, with all these wildcard spots now, these games, even

1623
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: though they are in in division, they are just as

1624
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: important because you, like you said, you are literally competing

1625
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: with them for spots right now, and there's a lot

1626
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: more spots than there have been in the past. Just

1627
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: swing the bats. The Mets have been swinging the bats

1628
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: better again. It seems like with the warmer weather, these

1629
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: balls move a little bit more, and it seems like

1630
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: that has been pretty you know, conducive to how the

1631
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Mets have been playing. Just just stay hot, stay hot,

1632
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: let's play smart, let's play good, keep pitching well, and

1633
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: hopefully game by game we get some wins out here

1634
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: again Saint Louis. But I think that's gonna be a

1635
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,439
Speaker 1: perfect way for us to wrap up episode number ninety
