17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: Draftneckmark here with James Sheiano had no range talking about

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: it's over. It's the final series of the season. The

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: Mets season's over. I mean it's been over for a while,

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: but it's actually officially over. There no more baseball games

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: to be played played. The three games against the Braves

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: gotta win. We gotta win in there. But really, at

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this season was a massive failure,

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: a massive disappointment. And while we are not gonna completely

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: recap the season today's episode, we are focusing on the

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: three games that happened, and then we're gonna have plenty

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: of episodes going over report cards for the players, best wins,

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: worst losses. I mean, we're gonna go super in depth

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: this offseason because well we got to come up with

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: some content. For sure, we will not be addressing that

31
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,959

00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: when we're gonna be covering all the offseason stuff. And

39
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,200

Speaker 1: you're really waiting for here. But if you're still interested

42
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: in hearing me in James's thoughts of the last series

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: of the year, as well as some minor you know,

44
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: storytelling and some minor recapping. This is gonna be it

45
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: for you, So, James, after seeing that Atlanta Braves series,

46
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there can't be too much else to say

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: besides what we've already said all year.

48
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: Honestly, very truly just relieved that this has come to

49
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: an end, that I don't have to deal with the

50
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: Mets on a nightly basis anymore.

51
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: You could just put the Mets out of your brain

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: for a few weeks here.

53
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: We can all enjoy some incredible playoff baseball that's gonna

54
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: be on tap, wild card games starting this week, general,

55
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: just football sense in the air, and just not really

56
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: think about this Mets team for a little while.

57
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it would be a nice relaxing few weeks,

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: a few months here until the baseball season really does

59
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: get started up again, until the CBA actually gets signed.

60
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: It's everything's kind of up in limbo because the season

61
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: may not actually happen. We'll see how that goes. That

62
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: could be an entire episode on its own, honestly about

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: the CBA implications with the Mets. But yeah, the Mets

64
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: season's over. We're both wearing black. Fun enough, I think

65
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: we joked about this that we're gonna wear black. We

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: did to the last home game as the funeral. We

67
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: also did to the podcast today. It's we're given our

68
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: final funeral to the twenty twenty one Mets after this.

69
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: Don't really want to think too much about them. I

70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: want this team to be a thought in the past

71
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: and to move on to better things.

72
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But of course we can't do that because this

73
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: is our show and there's our content.

74
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk a lot about the Mets.

75
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 3: But we made a commitment to you guys listeners to

76
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: go over all one hundred and sixty two Mets games,

77
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: to be here after every series and bye, damn it.

78
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: Do we have notes on these last three Mets games

79
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: ready for you right now.

80
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: It's truly fascinating because there is just really not much

81
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: to talk about here, but there's there's a few little

82
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: tidbits that are cool to say, like Francisco and Door

83
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: got his thousand hit during this series of his career.

84
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: Little things like that that will definitely bring up. So

85
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: let's get it started. Game one, we saw Tyler and

86
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: McGill on the mound, and it was great because McGill

87
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: has gone through a little bit of a rough patch here,

88
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: similar to Tywan Walker. This is a guy who doesn't

89
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: have as many innings on his arm as of recent

90
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: so as we've been stretching him out longer and longer,

91
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: it seems like his performances have become a little more erratic.

92
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: But he ended this. He's not on a high note

93
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: with a really really strong start in Atlanta.

94
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: No, he definitely did.

95
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: He went five innings, he only gave up one hit,

96
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: no runs, no walk, struck out six Atlanta Braves. He

97
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: got fourteen whiffs, which was a game high. His fastball

98
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: itself got ten whiffs on twenty five swings, which is

99
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: good for forty percent, and that's amazing because he was

100
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: throwing sixty five percent in fast balls in this game.

101
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: The off speeds were not really a part of his

102
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: game plan. But he also max that fast ball out

103
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: in ninety seven points six miles an hour, which I

104
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: went back and checked, and that was the hardest pitch

105
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 3: that Tyler McGill threw all year. So while we're a

106
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: little bit worried about his workload in the nc's pitch

107
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: and how that may have been affecting his effectiveness. I

108
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 3: just said affecting effectiveness. That's bizarre, But how may have

109
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 3: been affecting his effectiveness over the last six or eight

110
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: weeks of the season here, it was nice to see

111
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: that he's still had a lot of guests left in

112
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: the tank. And also when I learned that was the

113
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: fastest pitch he through all year. I found out that

114
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill actually threw the four fastest pitches of his

115
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: entire career, which is also this season in this game

116
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: against the Braves.

117
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: Maybe fast gun down there in Atlanta high hot gun

118
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: down there, isn't that where de Grom hit like one

119
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: oh two as well? They might be a little tinkering

120
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: with something down there to get some extra mph. But

121
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, with McGill and the innings

122
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: and the concern about his arm and everything like that,

123
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: it seems like it's not really the problem of the

124
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: lossy or anything. It's always been command, especially of recent

125
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: for him, and the command seemed to be at least

126
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: on for the five innings that he was pitching in

127
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: this game.

128
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: Definitely, another problem had been with McGill was that his

129
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: Ausby pitchers was getting hit a little bit harder than

130
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 3: they were early in the year. It seemed like he

131
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: kind of snuck up on people with a changeup that

132
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 3: was not really regardless plus and then looked to be

133
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: plus and now seems.

134
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: Like has reverted back into the proverbial pumpkin.

135
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: So he kind of took those out of the repertoire

136
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: this game, and it played huge dividends because he was

137
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: very effective and the Brads could not catch up to

138
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: his fastball all night. And I think this might be

139
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: a little bit of a foreshadowing to the way we

140
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: see Tyler McGill used probably early on next year, depending

141
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 3: on the pitching depth we m mess because he only

142
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: threw seventy five pitches in this game and five innings.

143
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: Even though he was so effective, he didn't see one

144
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: Atlanta hitre for a third time. And I think that

145
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: when you're a guy like Tyler McGill needs to lean

146
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: on his fastball like he does with more inconsistent breakers.

147
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: And of course that is just because he's not as

148
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: developed as a pitcher as he will be next in

149
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: the coming years. This is a good strategy because it

150
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: allows him to get into a game, get out of it,

151
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: and maintain his effectiveness for as long as possible, rather

152
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: than letting him stretch out trying to go six seven,

153
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: eight innings, which he has done on occasion this season,

154
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: done very well. But sometimes you rather have one in

155
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: the hand and two in the bush. You take your

156
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: effective innings. You let him like that.

157
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: I like that, I like that, I love a good

158
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: one in the hand, two in the bush kind of saying.

159
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: It's a great saying.

160
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: But you just let him take his effectiveness with him

161
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: and again be positive end of season, and not let

162
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: him be the one who gives up the runs, because

163
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 3: his repertoire just might not be decent enough to or

164
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: deep enough at this point in his career to actually

165
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: be able to be a true starter, as the old

166
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: heads of baseball would think about it.

167
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, you know, again, we also have

168
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: to put in two perspective the huge jump that he's

169
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: made this season, I mean, his first major league season

170
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: after what not pitching even above a ball before coming

171
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: into this year, right m hm. And he ended up

172
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean with a really nice year. Eighteen starts, four

173
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: point five, two ERA, whip at one point two, eight

174
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: fit at four point sixty nine, ten k per nine. Basically,

175
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: there are definitely some positive things to pick out here

176
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: with Tyler and McGill that are gonna be something that

177
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: I think we can build on going into the future.

178
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: For sure, he's not gonna be this ace, he's not

179
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna be this frontline guy. But the fact of the

180
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: matter is that he's going to be a part of

181
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: this rotation. He's gonna get innings. I would believe over

182
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: David Peterson going forward. At least I feel more comfortable

183
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: with him than David Peterson. I don't know how you feel,

184
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: but I think this was a really nice way for

185
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: him to end a strong rookie season all things.

186
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: Consider it, Yeah, no doubt.

187
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: I just think that the Mets as an organization in

188
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: US fans cannot be married to conventional wisdom when considering

189
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill like he might have his best path to

190
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: success as a three, four to five inning type of pitcher,

191
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: similarly to how you see the Rays use guys like

192
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: Colin mchughe and Michael Waka on this fine Sunday putting

193
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: together an incredible five innings of work in Yankee Stadium.

194
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: Some I just should max out that Drewis Mussen's another

195
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: guy that comes to mind who doesn't really have a

196
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: very deep arsenal pitches. He really only throws a fastball

197
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: in some sliders. But when the fastball is effective, you

198
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 3: can guess it by people. You can get enough people

199
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: out to again maintain this general level effectiveness. Guy like

200
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill being the six seven starting pitcher and the

201
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: Mets roster next year, but still being on the major

202
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: league team and still giving the Mets innings in three

203
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: or four or five inning the little batches could be great,

204
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: especially if you pickbacks a guy like Peterson or vice versa,

205
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: and each of those guys can give three or four

206
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: innings at a time.

207
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I think it's definitely a good at the

208
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: absolute worst depth piece to have, and he's definitely got

209
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: value on this team. What's also really nice about this

210
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: game two, besides McGill, you know, ending his season on

211
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: a high note, is Brandon Neimo continues to be the

212
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: guy that we thought he's going to be. Extend Nemo.

213
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's gonna take. I don't know

214
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We talked about it a little

215
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: bit last episode, but the two home runs. I mean,

216
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: he just continues to be an absolute beast, and I

217
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: mean quite possibly one of the best offensive players on team.

218
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: Literally, I don't know where this offense, as paltry as

219
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: it was all season, have been without Brandon Nemo. There's

220
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: no doubt that the Mets have to open up negotiations

221
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: to reset Nemo, especially based on the fact that it's

222
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: a good chance malecn Fourth that it is not back,

223
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: and that while the outfielders market is plentiful, it's not

224
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: really filled with many long term options, and neither are

225
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 3: the Mets' upper miners. I know we've talked about Mark

226
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: Vienzo's and Brett Baidy playing some corner outfield, but the

227
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: defensive steps that brand Nemo has made this year has

228
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: made him basically indispensable to this roster and he needs

229
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 3: to be in Blue and Orange for the foreseeable future.

230
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: And just the main knock on Nemo is durability. And

231
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again.

232
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: You are injury prone until you're not. Eventually, at some

233
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: point he's gonna go out of this just like guys

234
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: like Trey Turner. I say all the freaking time do

235
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: and then he's gonna be a star Wars playing one

236
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty games with a four thirty on base

237
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: percentage and one five one to thirty five WRC plus.

238
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Aaron Judge of John Carlos State and

239
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: two guys who were like just too big for the

240
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: game of baseball, both had pretty healthy years all things considering.

241
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: This year, it's the same thing.

242
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: Like you said, I will say, I don't think you're

243
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: going to convince Brandon Nemo to do any yoga like.

244
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: Those guys started doing.

245
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: Now that is some fufu shieshi stuff that Brandon Emo

246
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: is not interested in. He's interested in doing his own research,

247
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily this modern medicine type stuff. And let's also

248
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, a guy who's been around this

249
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: Mets team for quite some time, Jerry's familia in pitching,

250
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: what could be you know, his last appearance as in

251
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: New York met There's just probably not a way that

252
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: he really comes back outside of like a one year,

253
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: two million dollar deal because at that point it's so

254
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: cheap that worst case scenario, you cut them and you

255
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: eat them two million dollars. But uh yeah, in classic

256
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: familiar fashion. He gave up a run because as good

257
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: as he has been at times, classic Familia, he's gonna

258
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: give up one. If you give him a run to

259
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: give up, he will do it.

260
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: This is just years familiar does since for about what

261
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: like ten years now, he's been a member of the

262
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: of the Mets organization, which just crazy Major League Team nine,

263
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: I think minimum crazy. It just makes things more difficult

264
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: they need to be.

265
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: He got back to back strikeouts to start this inning.

266
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: Then he let a single and it ain't threw a

267
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: wild pitch, and then as the Albi's laced to double

268
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 3: and that just was Harys Famila is going to do it.

269
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 3: I'm happy that he went out the way he came in, poorly.

270
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: Guns blazing, being wild, having the crazy sinker that he does,

271
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: and then also losing it in the same inning. Because

272
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: it's Jerry's Familia, sometimes he legitimately doesn't know where he's going.

273
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: In fact, he might not ever know where it's going,

274
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: which is kind of kind of makes sense for how

275
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: he's pitched this year. But I got a good feeling

276
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: that we are not going to be seeing Jerry Familia

277
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: back in Queen's. He also made a little Instagram post

278
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: too that was very heartfelt, kind of noted or nodded

279
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: at the idea that three union's kind of over here

280
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be going elsewhere.

281
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: That Instagram post as like Heartfelton was and that familia

282
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: has been a Met for a very long time.

283
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: It got way too much team on social media, way

284
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: too picked up for a guy who, for the most

285
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: of his career has been just a hair above average

286
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 3: with the New York Mets.

287
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: I mean like it seems like that because VR made

288
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: a post too on Instagram not playing for the Mets.

289
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: There's nothing more than a Met fan loves than to

290
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: hear how great a Met fan is. I think we

291
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: know that we love when people recognize how great a

292
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: fans we are, and we are great fans. I think

293
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: I definitely stand by that the grands game of baseball,

294
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: we're some of the best. But there's nothing more than

295
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: Met fan loves to see than a player admit how

296
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: good the fans are and how much they love playing

297
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: for the team and how much they love New York.

298
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Because we truly have had guys that hated being here

299
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: and did not want to be a part of this team.

300
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: It's tough to be a Met. It is not easy

301
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: by any means, so to see that appreciation is always nice.

302
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, there was way too much heat around. I

303
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: mean honestly both of those posts. We love Jonathan VR

304
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: as much as the next guy, but there should be

305
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: really no sentimental value with a guy who like stepped

306
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: up on a team that severely underperformed.

307
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: If you're signing a one year contract for less than

308
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: ten million dollars and you don't have a deep playoff

309
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: run that includes like tons of clutch performances, you do

310
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: not deserve to have a sappy Instagram post.

311
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: You just don't. I'm sorry.

312
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: We're not talking like David Eckstein or somebody who like

313
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: had this like yeah, exactly like legendary playofforn Steve Pierce.

314
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: We're talking about Jonathan VR, who hit seven to twenty

315
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: oh pps on the season.

316
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: For US and got way too many at best.

317
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: Way too many, way too many, but nonetheless Familia probably

318
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: his last time in a Mets uniform. We end it

319
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: with a strong Edwin ds save. We don't get the trumpets,

320
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: but we do see Edwin Didas just shut the door

321
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: on what has been a really, really good year as

322
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: a closer for the Mets, while it has had its

323
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: roller coasters and ups and downs, I think if you

324
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: are a member of this fan base, member of this team,

325
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: you're extremely pleased with how Edwin d has pitched this year,

326
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: especially because, like you know, he pitched one in twenty twenty,

327
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: but there was no fans there. There was fans there

328
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: this year, and he really seemed to step.

329
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: Up definitely, And at the end of the day, this

330
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: was successful season Fredman Diaz, even as much as anybody

331
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: else would like to admit. He struck out almost thirty

332
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: five percent of the batters he faced, which is one

333
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: of the lower marks in his career. But he also

334
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: only walked eight point nine percent, which was a massive

335
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: improvement from last year when he was better but still

336
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: walk thirteen percent of opposing hitters.

337
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: His era was in.

338
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 3: The mid threes, which you don't like to see from reliever,

339
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: but that's only because he just continued to be home

340
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: run prone, albeit much less home run prone, much much

341
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 3: much less home run prone than the awful twenty nineteen

342
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: that we all like to forget. And he wound up

343
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: with a two point four to eight tip, which I'll

344
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: take that I'll take it every day of the week

345
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 3: from Edwin ds.

346
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

347
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean also as like home and road splits were terrible,

348
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: and we know about non safe situations with the Mets

349
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: keep throwing him out there into there's definitely a way

350
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: to get the most at Edwin Diaz. We just gotta

351
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: be smarter with him at times sometimes.

352
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 3: And he again, he just gave a bus home runs,

353
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: which is usually the biggest buggepoo for Edwin lowest home

354
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: runner flat ball rate of his entire career. So we're

355
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: gonna take that into twenty twenty two and if all

356
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: the Mets fans have to understand he is a closer

357
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: and he's a very good one.

358
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: And then we also got a really interesting MLB debut,

359
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: not by anybody on the Mets, but buy an Atlanta

360
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: bravest prospect by the name of Spencer Streider rose from

361
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: low A to MLB in one season. He was a

362
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: draft pick last year. I don't remember what round he was.

363
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a top five round pick, that's all

364
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: you need to know. He might have even been what

365
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: second round. I think he was fourth, fourth, Okay, regardless,

366
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: he's a highly touted prospect of sorts got to make

367
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: his major league debut, and I know you have a little,

368
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: uh little something on him as well. No, I mean

369
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: Spencer Stryder rose this year from Low Way to the

370
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: major leagues just simply because he was too good for

371
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: the levels of the minor leagues.

372
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: He was at each step of the time. At Low

373
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: Way he struck out fifty six percent of the pitters

374
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: he faced. In High A he struck out thirty nine percent,

375
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: in Double A thirty five percent, and just a few

376
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: brief play innings seventy five percent of the batters he faced.

377
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: Those are numbers that we have not seen since James

378
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: Karen Chack has run in twenty nineteen leagues.

379
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: Cheating like a filthy bastard.

380
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: Cheating like a bastard, won't get vaccinated. A lot of

381
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: things going with James Karen Shack, and he might have

382
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: just lost the spot in the major league team because

383
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: Emmanuel Class walked in this year and is going to

384
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: contend for the Rookie of the Year award. But it

385
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: was cool as he spent to try to make his debut,

386
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: he'd like touched one hundred miles an hour, which, of

387
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: course that gun might have been a little bit hot,

388
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: but this is a guy who's gonna sit to the

389
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: high nineties. He has a devastating slide there that he

390
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: didn't really break out that much. He was just basically

391
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: throwing fastballs. But this is a picture who I think

392
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: is probably the most talented of this entire young crop

393
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 3: of Braves pitchers who we've seen debut in the last

394
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: two or three years. That includes Ian Anderson, who had

395
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: a near all star performance in twenty twenty if all

396
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: Stars would have existed then. But Mess fans will have

397
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 3: to worry best Spencer Stryder a lot over the next.

398
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: Couple of years.

399
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: So get used to seeing in the name. And the

400
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: last thing I wanted to bring up from this game

401
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: was that we got a very brief return to the

402
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: booth from our dear friend Howie Rose after he has

403
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: spent two months away from the microphone. But how we

404
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: actually legitimately needed one more day for he might have

405
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: been a joke now and I'm reading it back, but

406
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: he did still again stepping in the booth for a

407
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: few Oh, this is actually Sunday's game, not today's game.

408
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: How much. Anyway, we're ready here, Who gets a shit?

409
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: He said?

410
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: He needed one more game for service time, so he

411
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: did about twenty thirty minutes at a round first pitch

412
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: with Eddie Coleman and Wayne ran Daza. So it was

413
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: just nice to hear how he's voice after we had

414
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: him for a long time.

415
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: How do you sound great? Good? I like to hear that.

416
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: We still don't really know what happened. It's really none

417
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: of our business. But hope that the dude's doing healthy

418
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: and I hope we see him back.

419
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, definitely looks like he's also lost a little

420
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: bit of weight because he's been putting out some Twitter

421
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: videos recently. He's always had a gangly neck, so this

422
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: also could just be just random heresay, but he advertised

423
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: like this weird Seltzer the other day, which was kind

424
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: of funny. I've never seen how he rose like to

425
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 3: a promote the ad. And also, if you're promoting an

426
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: ad for a Seltzer, I don't know why you're picking

427
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: like the seventy something year old Jewish voice of the Mets.

428
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: I guess maybe this is a list is doing.

429
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: But just still nice to see how we I've never

430
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: lived any moment of my life without how he rose,

431
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: and I really don't want to.

432
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: Was good to have him back.

433
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: Good to have him back for sure. Let's move on

434
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: over to game two here. And we did it, James,

435
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: we did it. Actually, I shouldn't say we did it.

436
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: Carlos Carrasco did it a first ending without a run,

437
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: that was cool, and then the rest of the game

438
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: happened and he just made up for the rest of

439
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: the game.

440
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Carls Carrasco did the backflip for he usually does.

441
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 3: But still a long national nightmare is over. Carlos Carrasco

442
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: to not give up a run nor home run the

443
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: first inning. He just waited until the third, fourth, and

444
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: fifth to give up all of those. And again this

445
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: is just it just lost year of Carlos Carrasco. It

446
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: started poorly, there was a setback, happened poorly.

447
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: In the middle.

448
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: He showed some glimmers of the picture he once was

449
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 3: and the picture hopefully we think he can be. And

450
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 3: then his last four stars has really reverted into a

451
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 3: guy who was otherly uneffective. So just crumple this one up,

452
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: throw in the garbage. Don't even think about him, Mets fans.

453
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: Carls Kraswick didn't pitch it all this year. Get ready

454
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: to have him walk into the rotation next year as

455
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: a hopefully pretty sturdy and reliable middle of the rotation piece.

456
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, like we expected a lot more this year,

457
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: but we also didn't think he was gonna get a

458
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: season started in what late July early August, which has

459
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: ended up what happened because of all the setbacks. I'm

460
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: not going, like we've said all podcasts all year long,

461
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: we're not gonna look too much into Carrasco season. It's

462
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: poppycock at this point.

463
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: It really is.

464
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: Just it's like an extended rehab.

465
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: Basically, he's still in spring training more or less.

466
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, we just call Spada spade here.

467
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: The poor guy lost the whole year. Just give him time.

468
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 3: He's older now, but he's savvy, he's a veteran. I'm

469
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: pretty excited for to see him in twenty twenty two.

470
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get a full year of spring training under

471
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: him and getting ready and proper with the team. He

472
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: should be fine.

473
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 3: And we'll also understand very much how he's viewed internally.

474
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: Based on the way the Mets approached their off season.

475
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 3: Off season planned for starting pitching, like if we they

476
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: believe that Carlos Carrasco is still like to two to

477
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: three that he was the last time he pitched a

478
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 3: full season. Possibly that I bet you see the Mets

479
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: be less aggressive, specifically with Marcus Strowman and some of

480
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 3: the other mid tier starting pitchers on the market. So

481
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 3: we're still crossing our fingers for Alex Cobb here at

482
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: the Mets Up podcast. That's really what could save this organization.

483
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: One year of.

484
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: Alex cop possibly two if we really want to get crazy.

485
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: But we're gonna learn a lot about where the Mets

486
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: think Carls Carrasco is over the next few months without

487
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: even watching a pitch.

488
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

489
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: No, the Mets whole offseason plan, which we're gonna talk

490
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: about many episodes, is going to be super super complicated.

491
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: I think I don't think anything is gonna be easy.

492
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any easy decisions here with the Mets.

493
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the easy decision would be spend all the

494
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: money in the world and get everybody, But we just

495
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: know that's not gonna happen. So it's why you got

496
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: to tune into the next few episodes when we start

497
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: talking about this stuff. Getting back on track though here

498
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: with Game two, Braves Mets, I mean we did the

499
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: same thing that we've always done. We've let a team

500
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: get ahead and then we try to like score late,

501
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: but it's just a little too late, I mean five nothing,

502
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: and then we're like, oh, yeah, that's right, we're playing

503
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: a baseball game.

504
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 3: That's what this peek doubled to get us on the board,

505
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 3: which again, by the time this game was going on,

506
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 3: Pizza forty sadly died. So we want to thank all

507
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 3: the listeners that rode with us on this mission to

508
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 3: get Pizza forty home runs.

509
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 2: We got close, we got closer, and I thought we would,

510
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: if I'm being honest, definitely much closer I thought we would.

511
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 3: But we see got a nice hit on RBI because

512
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: a fuck I don't know, get money for him in arbitration.

513
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: I hope can four though, hit what might have been

514
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: his last home run as I met a real scorcher

515
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 3: down the line. Really finally seemed to get hot in

516
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 3: these last two weeks here, which is just so so great,

517
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: so bitter this week, so bittersweet, tons of bittersweet moments

518
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 3: this entire series, and then just my funny stat of

519
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 3: this game is that Jonathan vr in the eighth inning

520
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: hit the twenty sixth hardest ball in play by any

521
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: qualified hitter all season long, one hundred and fourteen point

522
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: nine miles an hour.

523
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: Because it's like, why the fuck not?

524
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: Because he's a caprilera logo, he's literally I mean, he's

525
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: a madman. He was a nice spark plug on this team.

526
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: It was a nice little jolt of energy when we

527
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: needed and he was a good depth piece. He just

528
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: ended up becoming an everyday third baseman. And we found

529
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: out a little bit more as to why because of

530
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: JD Davis stuff, which I'll bring up right after you

531
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: tell me, h, did you not see that?

532
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: I did see that, but I did to I forg

533
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: at about it. I any think that's kind of going.

534
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gave me like a face of shock, and

535
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, hold on, bit, do I need

536
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: to explain this to you?

537
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

538
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, like, Jonathan Yar's been nice little player for

539
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: us this year for sure, and like I said, with

540
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: Jady Davis, were kind of figured out why he played

541
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: so much.

542
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, and a lot of Mets fans I think

543
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: have become a little bit entranced with the Jonathan VR

544
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: potential this season, there's a lot of people clamming for

545
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: him to come back, which I think is something that

546
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 3: really can't even be a part of steps one through ten.

547
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: Of this offseason is worrying about Jonathan VR's extension.

548
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: One year, two million dollars.

549
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: Again like four.

550
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just funny that it's the first of all

551
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: is Jonathan VR ball and play wasn't even hit he

552
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: reached out an error.

553
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: He's just hit it so hard that got through.

554
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 3: And then this was a harder ball in play at

555
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: one hundred and fourteen point nine miles an hour. Then

556
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: either Salvador Perez, Raphael Devers or Tyler O'Neil had all

557
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: year three of the most prolific power hitters in baseball.

558
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: Jonathan VR put the ball and play harder than those guys.

559
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 3: So that just tells you everything he needs to know

560
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 3: about Jonathan VRS. He could be the best player in

561
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 3: baseball or the worst. It depends on which side of

562
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: the bed he woke up on.

563
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: He is what you'd call a high variance player, I

564
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: believe right, yeah, very much. So look at that. I'm

565
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: dropping some analytical terms out here. Your boys learning We're

566
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: learning that a full season of a podcast with James

567
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: the I don't want to say saber metrics guy, but

568
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: way more than me. I'm starting to pick up a

569
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: few things here and there.

570
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it turns the tide. If nothing else. Both definitely

571
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: grown our baseball intellects this season.

572
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: Oh one thousand percent, and we chipped away the Braves

573
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: bullpen stinks. I mean, we knew this all year long.

574
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: That was the thing I tweeted out like day one.

575
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, it's crazy, how bad this bullpen's

576
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be a huge problem. Just they

577
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: got lucky that the Mets really blew it, and so

578
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: the Phillies all year long that nobody could pull ahead.

579
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Braves just ended up being the better team throughout the

580
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: entire season, and that's why they win the division. Mets

581
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: lose game two. Now, I want to just hash on

582
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: that JD. Davis thing here a little bit because I

583
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: mentioned it about, you know, two seconds ago, Jonathan Vr

584
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: we found out that he's getting some offseason surgery on

585
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: his wrist, right, I believe, because his risk just hasn't

586
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: felt right all season, and we kind of knew that

587
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: when he had those weird il stints, and he did

588
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: just get benched kind of out of nowhere when he

589
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: was one of the few guys hitting. Now we know

590
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: his defensive prowess well it just is non existent, but

591
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: he still was swinging the bat. Well, this risk thing

592
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: makes a lot more sense. But also at the same time,

593
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: what took the Mets along? Why were we holding JD.

594
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: Davis around to just sit on the bench and take

595
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: up a spot when like he probably needed surgery what

596
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: three months ago, like probably.

597
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: June when he first got injured. For being honest, it's just.

598
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: Like a weird oversight thing again that makes you go like,

599
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: this is not what we thought Steve Cohen era baseball

600
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: would be, Like, this is very will Pond like.

601
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: And do you they'll know whether or not that was JD.

602
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: Davis's call to some degree, because if you're a player

603
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 3: who even earlier in the year could probably read the

604
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: writing on the walls that you didn't have a guarantee

605
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: spot in this team, either now or in the future, I,

606
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 3: if given the choice, would rather play than not just

607
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: so I could do what I think I could do

608
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 3: it in my head and prove my worth. But the

609
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: opposite of that happened with JD.

610
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: Davis.

611
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: He just turned out to not really be that good

612
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: for a whole nother year again, even further muddying the

613
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: waters on his status and team for next season. Also

614
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: the fact that the Messes didn't really have that many

615
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: right handed power bats to spare, Like, this is gonna

616
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 3: be a crazy thing to say, but if someone like

617
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: Jose Ramirez was just healthy the whole time and just

618
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 3: able to do like any type of anything, which is

619
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: basically the same thing as j D. Davis, like, maybe

620
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 3: that would have changed the perspective and let JD. Davis

621
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 3: take the eight weeks off that he needed.

622
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: To with surgery and come backers. Martinez was a Martinez.

623
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that was stupid. I'm not having cut the

624
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave all the sudden.

625
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: All right. This last episode, I was like, I was like,

626
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: your mirrors is not a met Did you just make

627
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: up a trade?

628
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: What happened? I got hit the head before. I don't know

629
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: what's going on.

630
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: But again, if they just had another right handed power

631
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: back that they could have leaned on to play against

632
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 3: certain lefties, like, maybe this would have gone differently.

633
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 2: But the mess just didn't have the access to that

634
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: this year.

635
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: Next year you're gonna have maybe a wealth of options

636
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: with Mark Fiento's possibly joining this major league grosser at

637
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: some point, and again, just hopefully the Mets go deep

638
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: into signing as many like quadruple A, like low caliber

639
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 3: major league type players to just fill their triple A

640
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: roster and the bomb of this major league rosser.

641
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: Sure.

642
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: Maybe, but when you don't have that many right handed

643
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: options like you JD. Davis leaving this team, you lose

644
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: entire dimension. Which is crazy that this JD. Davis can

645
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: make your team lose entire dimension. It just points again

646
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 3: to the poor team building of the Mets in the offseason,

647
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: but it was true.

648
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: It was. That's what we're gonna hammer on all off

649
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: season is the team building because it seems like that

650
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: we have good players. We know that we definitely have

651
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: good players on this roster, but the depth the team

652
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: building aspect is something this team really needs to address,

653
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: and we'll cover that all offseason long. Now let's move

654
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: on to Game one sixty two. A lot of great

655
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: Game one sixty two is out there in Major League Baseball.

656
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: This was not one of them. This was a meaningless

657
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: game that had no sense of who cares, who cares?

658
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: There was one thing to really pay attention to is

659
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: no cinderguard pitching an inning again, And I mean he

660
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: got hit because he's still just not really like ready,

661
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: but he has to rehab. It's a weird like Catch

662
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: twenty two. But also it doesn't matter.

663
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 3: It definitely doesn't matter. And there were games in Triple

664
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 3: A all week. He could have been pitching there. It's possible.

665
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 3: He looked so bad today and I think a Triple

666
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: A hitters would have crushed him. He again just threw

667
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: fastballs and changeups. But that's gonna go very differently against

668
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: the Braves. Even the Braves like partial B team today,

669
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: like not all the players played like most of them did,

670
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 3: I think, but like Jorge Hilaire was hitting lead off,

671
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: but like he really fucking hit lead off. It's the

672
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 3: first at bat of the game. He had a piss

673
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: missile off of a sudden the guard one hundred and

674
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 3: eighteen off the bat hards ball he's put in play

675
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: all year just to cap an incredible second half surge.

676
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: That Horace Soulais has a member of the Atlanta Braves.

677
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 3: It's also definitely worth noting that Thor's velocity was way

678
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: down from Tuesday night, which I'm sure was a little

679
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: bit of adrenaline because that was in front of the

680
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: home crowd his first apearance twenty nineteen, and this was

681
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: the second appearance in the last game of the year

682
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: that everyone.

683
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: Knew didn't mean shit.

684
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: But he only maxed doun in ninety four miles an hour,

685
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: which if you're maxing out in ninety four and only

686
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: throwing changeups, you might as well be a relief pitcher

687
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: on the Royals, because you're not going to be effective.

688
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: Relief picture on the Royals. My god. Yeah, I mean again,

689
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: there's there's not a real whole lot of analysis to

690
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: go into this outside of the v LO being down.

691
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: But like even then, it's really like it's I don't

692
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: want to say it's insignificant, but like we're trying to

693
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: make something out of really nothing at this point.

694
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 3: No, it really is nothing. There's no point in trying

695
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 3: to analyze this. It was a weird situation. I'm still

696
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: not that thrilled about it, and I'm still left with

697
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 3: tons and tons of questions about this offseason. I do

698
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 3: firmly believe that the Mets are going to offer no

699
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 3: send Gard qualifying that he will accept it unless some

700
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 3: cavalier team out there decides to give him a multi

701
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 3: year deal add like an appropriate average annual value, which

702
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: I don't think is possible. I think a forward thinking

703
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: team like the Rays could or the Astros to come

704
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 3: out with like a weirdly cheap and secure offer while

705
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: still giving Cindegard another chance for free agency in his

706
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: early thirties, which has proven to be a very lucrative

707
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: time still for the best pitchers in the league, and

708
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: just kind of steal him from us and we'll watch

709
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: him for the next three years become a very good

710
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: pitcher again, Like watch the Astros give him like three

711
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 3: for sixty five.

712
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, now we know he can. He can be that

713
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: kind of picture we talked about last episode two. Going

714
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: back to your boy, Spencer Strider guy, his first win

715
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: looked really good again. Just seems like, like you said,

716
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna be pretty nice picture for the Brave. Seems

717
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: like the best guy that we've seen come up recently.

718
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

719
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 3: He threw ninety one percent fast balls and it's just

720
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 3: again build on the fact that they told him to

721
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: come up and only throw fastballs for these couple of

722
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: advings heere. I bet they wish that they could put

723
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 3: him in their playoff bullpen. I'll know the exact rule

724
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 3: there whether or not they can, because he was a

725
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: September call up and not a roster move like I

726
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 3: know when you pull in the new September guys off

727
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: waivers like Jose Glaciers can't play in the playoffs for

728
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: the Red Sox.

729
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works in minor leaguers, but

730
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: I think.

731
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: You would have to be able to. That would be

732
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: like a weird punishment if like just just say there's

733
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: a world where your entire team gets hurt and you

734
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: have to use your minor leaguers, like then you're like

735
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: nobody in the playoffs can't use him.

736
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 3: Maybe like with il Stints, it can't work. But it's

737
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 3: like Shane Baz Can he pitch for the Rays in

738
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: the playoffs even though he came up in September?

739
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: I think so. I think so because it's, uh, it's

740
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: a forty man thing, right, So it might be if

741
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: he was on the forty man to maybe it is

742
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: the man. That's what it feels like. But I also

743
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if you're just from the organization. As

744
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: long as you didn't change organizations, you can be a

745
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: part of it. Who knows he.

746
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: Should be the Braves closer in the playoffs. He's by

747
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: far the best reliever in this bullpen.

748
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: Richard Rodriguez is unimpressive, Will Smith is a down year,

749
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: Chris Martin is trash.

750
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: Who else is out there still? Who's the guy Webb?

751
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: Who Kevin Puller in the face? Fuck that Jackson?

752
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: Luke Jackson's been a joke for like three years running now.

753
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 3: Tyler Matzik was okay, but he hasn't pitched in a while.

754
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 3: I think he's injured. I don't who even knows, but

755
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: this guy has by far the most electric stuff I

756
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: have any possible braze reliever, and he's not starting in

757
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: the playoffs. He should be relieving because he has some

758
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: crazy stuff going on.

759
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: And then in terms of our bullpen, we got to

760
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: see an outing from a guy that I truly forgot existed,

761
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: Robert Gselman. You could have told me that he was

762
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: in the KBO and I would have believed that more

763
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: than that he was still on the Mets. I forgot.

764
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: I forgot who existed, but Robbie g got in the

765
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: game and need be pitched.

766
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: He pitched. Remember when his sister liked one of my

767
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: tweets in May? That was fun.

768
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: We do remember that. I remember that. I was like,

769
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: oh hey, but.

770
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: I mean a story of this game is the story

771
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: of the season. The Mets offense sucks. I'm almost kind

772
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: of happy we got shut out in the last game

773
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: of the year, so everybody can, like Fester and Ruin

774
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: know that the last game they played all season, they

775
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 3: got shut out. Like, I kind of like the bad

776
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: taste being left in a lot of these guys' mouths.

777
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: Truly laid a friggin egg in the last game of

778
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: the season, like just to give us the feeling that

779
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: we've had all year of This offense is unimpressive, and

780
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: we did it on the last game of the season

781
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: as well.

782
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: But honestly, who cares This offense is terrible? We know

783
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: it's terrible.

784
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: I think they are pretty aware of the fact they

785
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: might just not be that good, and I think the

786
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: front office should be aware of the fact that a

787
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: lot of these guys just really might not be that great.

788
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: Yep, and we can take this twenty twenty one team

789
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: can dig it, dig a hole, bury them in there,

790
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: cover it up, forget where it is, let the grass

791
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: grow over it. Let's forget this twenty twenty one season,

792
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: move on to twenty twenty two, where there's a lot

793
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: of great things that we can talk about. We've got

794
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: so many players that possibly talk about just re signing,

795
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: and then the free agent market is loaded with guys

796
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: that we can use. Carlos Correa, there's guys pitching, there's relievers.

797
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to tell you everything you guys

798
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: want to hear this offseason. I mean, coming up, what

799
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: do we got. We're gonna have report cards for every

800
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: player on the team, so essentially you go through every

801
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: single player I think that touched the field, because I

802
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: think that would be kind of fun. Go through every

803
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: single one of them, and we'll give them a grade

804
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: A through F, just like you would on your report card.

805
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: I think that's something fun that we can do.

806
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: Quick grade jennes Ri Fargas B plus, quick grade Anthony Bonda,

807
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 3: oh A plus.

808
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Anthony Bonda, Come on that. That guy pitched

809
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: in that one game against Cincinnati and helped us get

810
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: a win. That is Miles above what I thought Anthony

811
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: Bond that could help us do with this team.

812
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: Quick funny stat to uh end the season here, brad

813
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: Hand pitched I think it was six or eight innings

814
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: with the Blue Jays this season, and he was worth

815
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: negative zero point six war and they missed the playoffs

816
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: by one game.

817
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: So just take that as you will if you don't

818
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: if you want to miss the playoffs, you roster brad Hand.

819
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, no, that's oh, that's really painful. Yeah,

820
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: imagine they didn't trade for him, they'd be in the playoffs.

821
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: Possibly really rubbing salt in the wound there, brad Han's thinks.

822
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see him on the team next year.

823
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: Quick great for him, James.

824
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: F minus zz.

825
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: For him, brad Hand. We will always be anti brad

826
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: Han on this podcast, one of the few Mets players

827
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: will see us be against.

828
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: I honestly want to go through his game log as

829
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: a member of the Blue Jays just because it's kind

830
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: of hilarious. He pitched one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

831
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: ten eleven games as a Blue Jain, and he gave

832
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: up earned runs in one, two, three, four.

833
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: Five of them.

834
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 3: That's too many, almost half of his appearances with the

835
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 3: Blue Jays, he gave up at least.

836
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: One earned run. He gave up three on two occasions.

837
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 3: This guy's disaster one anywhere near the team next year,

838
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: I really, really truly don't.

839
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: Know, shouldn't be near the team. So we're gonna go

840
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: through the players. We're gonna go through best wins, worst losses.

841
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: I think we're also gonna do a quiz that we

842
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: saw on Sporkle, which is going to be trying to

843
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: name every player that has touched the field for the

844
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: New York Mets this year. I think the two of

845
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: us will be able to get it done, especially because

846
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm really good at those Sporkle quizzes. But it'll be

847
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: nice to have a little bit of help here where

848
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: I forget some guys because two brains is better than one.

849
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: You're way better at that shit than me.

850
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: I love Sporkle, and like when I used to like

851
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 3: actually work inside of an office, I used to be

852
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: on there for about half of my day just to

853
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 3: an old random baseball, football, basketball, like his historical stuff.

854
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: But I'm terrible stuff like that.

855
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: Now. We're also gonna go over an entire episode going

856
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: over the once upon a time in Queens thirty for thirty,

857
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Me and James are playing one day to just hunker

858
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: down on the couch, enjoy some adult beverages and see

859
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: what that thirty for thirty looks like. Because everybody who's

860
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: seen it that I've talked to says it was awesome. Now, granted,

861
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: we don't have the nostalgia of some of the people

862
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: who have lived those era, but I think it'd be

863
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: cool for us to see what it was like because again,

864
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: we were just we were not even a thought in

865
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six yet.

866
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 3: No, and we like as just big Mets fans and

867
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: growing up with two dads who are also massive Mets fans.

868
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: We know like about the essence of the eighty six

869
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 3: Mets team, but we don't know anything about the nitty gritty,

870
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 3: Like we don't really know how the day to day went,

871
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 3: how they were perceived, and we kind of know how

872
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: they were perceived, but like the expectations that were placed

873
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: on them would led up to it the downfall of

874
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: that team. So it'd be nice to watch that. I'm

875
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: happy that we've both saved it for after the season ends.

876
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna wait till there's a couple of nice night

877
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 3: baseball games and throw that on the middle of the

878
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: day and just have make a day of it.

879
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. And then another little teasers that will

880
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: throw out there too. Is because we've done some interviews

881
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: on the channel, but there were short, quick ones with

882
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: the minor league guys. We're also gonna plan to do

883
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: some offseason episodes that are gonna be lengthier interviews, kind

884
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: of having a guy on as a guest, just talking

885
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: about whatever you want to talk about that episode. Guys

886
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: like Jeff bec Neil. Hopefully we'll hop on because I'm

887
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: somewhat friendly with Jeff and done some things in the

888
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: past with him, so hopefully he'd be happy to Luis

889
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: or may follows me on Twitter. I'd love to get

890
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: the g man on here. We love Luiski or met

891
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: you have some connections as well, with possibly a John

892
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: Franco hookup and who else knows out there. We're gonna

893
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: be looking for guys who have been attached to the

894
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: Mets one way or another to bring on here, to

895
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: give us some insight, give us some thoughts. I'm excited.

896
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: I think this off season is going to be interesting

897
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: because this is our first off season as a podcast,

898
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: But I also think this is a chance to really

899
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: get ahead here because we are gonna be killing it here.

900
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: Do we know what our schedule is gonna be like

901
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: just yet? What we've been thinking.

902
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 3: We're gonna pick a day in the middle of the

903
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 3: week for you guys, and maybe if that day doesn't

904
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 3: go well, maybe we'll resort back to doing this Sunday

905
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: Monday thing. But as of right now, expect episodes to

906
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: come once weekly in the middle of the week.

907
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: That's as specific as I can or I want to

908
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: be right now.

909
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have, you know, some real life things to

910
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: take care of first, and we're gonna make sure that

911
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: we still get you content though every single week once

912
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: a week, and then the YouTube channel will be cutting

913
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: up those videos and making stuff on there as well.

914
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: So thank you guys for the amazing support all season long.

915
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: We really I don't I expect it to grow, but

916
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: I was super pleased with how well it's went. A

917
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: full year of podcasting about the New York Mets was

918
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: a living hell in some some aspects, but also really

919
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: really fun and I'm glad that I brought James on

920
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: to do it with me because I think we made

921
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: a pretty good duo here on the Mets Up podcast.

922
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: Great season overall for us as a podcast, a great year,

923
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: and excited to get started on twenty twenty two and

924
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: forget the twenty twenty one season on the field at least,

925
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: because boy oh boy, outside the podcast, there wasn't many

926
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: positives in Mets Land.

927
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

928
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 3: And it's funny like looking back at like the random

929
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: Mets schedule and game log for this year and being

930
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 3: able to point to a game or a series and

931
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 3: remembering like exactly what we talked about, exactly what we

932
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 3: were feeling, exactly how it went before, exactly how it

933
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: went after. It's given me like an almost a new

934
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 3: and a bit better and like a more appreciative understanding

935
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,280
