1
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: Let's go.

2
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: Let's go Mets fans. That's a sweep sweep the Phillies. Damn,

3
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: that was really good. That was really good baseball. The

4
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: Mets did not lose a single game on this homestand

5
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: four game sweep of the Cardinals, three game sweep of

6
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: the National League East defending champion in Philadelphia, Phillies.

7
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: This was unbelievable.

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: Every single second of this felt incredible for the New

9
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: York Mets. They come back in games, they win games,

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: walk offs, anyway you could imagine it. The Mets went out,

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: got the job done every single game, a different guy

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: in every single game. Francisco Indors playing amazing. SODA's not hitting,

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: but he makes great plays in the field for us

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: back to back days like what is go? What is

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: for going to all three games of this series. I'm

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: it to to myself. I just can't. I can't go

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: over with City Field has been like this season. I've

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this, Like this kind of reminds me.

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: The only thing I think is reminiscent of like two

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: thousand and six, two thousand and seven in Shaye Stadium.

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: But I was a kid. I wasn't going for ten

30
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: and eleven. That's what I'm saying. Like I wasn't in

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: the city this much. I was going to like a

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: game every other week Friday nights. But this is like

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: it's it's magnificent in that place. Like every from the

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: first pitch until Marte hit that walk off in the

35
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: place was buzzing every single time. There was a couple

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: of moments where it was lalling a little bit eighth

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: nine in eight, but like the fans are locked in,

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: people are going crazy, people are going I don't sit

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: there with thirty six thousand people Wednesday afternoon one o'clock.

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: Like I know you and I have different situations, but

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: like nobody has jobs Like this is incredible, like that

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: they pack that place even Monday night too. The place

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: was buzzing on a Monday night. It wasn't anything like

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: let's say it was anything like the weekend against the Cardinals,

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: because that's weekend nice weather. Monday night was forty degrees

46
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: on Monday night in April, and that place was completely

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: electric from like first pitch to last doubt. It didn't

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: stop the entire time. And the best part about this too,

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: is that we just finished up a thirteen game and

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: thirteen day stretch. Our pitching was stretched like all the

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: way literally to its exact limit, like we had to

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: use every single guy, probably more, a little bit more

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: than we've wanted to, Max Krannic coming in from injured

54
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz the end of this game, after we threw

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: thirty six pitches two days ago on Monday, one day off,

56
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: in between finding a way to get those out to

57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: keep in the one round games we have the ability

58
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: to win in the tenth. It was literally this was

59
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: such an all hands on deck two weeks of Mets baseball,

60
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: and they played so fucking well through the whole way

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: of it, at contributions from every single guy went through

62
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: twenty six like top down like this is this is

63
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: like I don't know how'm going ahead of ourselves because April,

64
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: of course, it's just like this was like a special

65
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: two weeks of watching the Mets play baseball. This is

66
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: what good baseball teams do, and this is something that

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: we've been preaching on this podcast from day one, Like

68
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: we have adults in the room now, and it's clear

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: that the decisions being made are ones that are winning decisions,

70
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: which is really nice. Every single player on the roster

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: made an impact at some point during this homestand especially

72
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: in the Philly series, Like even Jose Azocar made an

73
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: impact in the game that he started in place of

74
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: brand Nemo, played good outfield, had a couple of hits,

75
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: he made an impact. Brett Baty hit the home run

76
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: off of Zach Wheeler in Game three. Like you can

77
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: literally go through every single player on this team and

78
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: mention something positive that they did in this series, which

79
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: is unbelievable for a Mets roster. That is just like

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's playing to its fullest potential yet.

81
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: I really think there's still room for this team to

82
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: play even better. But this is showing you right now

83
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: that if you're a Mets fan, you should feel confident

84
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: about this team moving forward. I mean they have the

85
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: best record in baseball. You don't win any awards for that,

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: you don't hang any band for that. Right now, playing

87
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: incredibly good baseball, but they can be even better like

88
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: they Wan Soto's not at his fullest right now, Brandon

89
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: Nimmo has been struggling, and yet this team, especially on

90
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: the pitching side, has been absolute nails.

91
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: No just to even go through some of like where

92
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: we are so far this season in terms of pitching

93
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: stuff full team era, the Mets have the lowest in

94
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: baseball two point three four. The Padres are next lowest

95
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: at two point nine to two. There's more than a

96
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: half of a run in between what the Mets pitcher

97
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: is doing right now, what the Padres pitch is doing,

98
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: and looking more past that, like strikeout right the Mets

99
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: are second only behind the Dodgers twenty six percent. Shrek

100
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: and Mins walk great, we're a little before that. We're

101
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: still in the top six. Like we're our whip right now.

102
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: The team whipped the Mets. It's actually finally eight. I

103
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna be hither than that, but like

104
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: we're just the way that we're able to pitch and

105
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: pitch and pitch and NonStop, and also again to hammer

106
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: down this fact that every single guy on this team

107
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: making an impact, like Brandon was not hitting right now.

108
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the guys right now who

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: I think is the most notably not hitting at all.

110
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: He made two or three great catches, great play Dan

111
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: in Yeatfield this game too. Luis Torentz, who's just been

112
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: a marvel that's like that for somehow, in some way

113
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: after signing one, so like this might be the best

114
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: move that David Stearns has pulled off as Kwie Louis

115
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: rans for one hundred thousand dollars from the Akies, who

116
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: could definitely use a backup or starting catcher right now.

117
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: He comes in this game cold late for Hayden Sanger.

118
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I know it didn't amount to anything, but got you

119
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: gotta pin Chant squeak him through the hole and he

120
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: comes in to catch his next inning, takes the ball

121
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: off his face, takes another ball off his arm. Like

122
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: the way the guy gets beat up back there is

123
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: always finds a way to get up and keep playing.

124
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: It's like this, twenty six guys deep, like we I

125
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: look back a lot like the day that they hired

126
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: David Surs and all that now supps happening at the

127
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: end of twenty three season, which was just such a

128
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: horrible year, just being so over the moon excited about

129
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: what was happening, and along with a buck being fired

130
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: was like our like a month which just like that

131
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: all that shit together, it's like it's understanding, like the

132
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: big moves are one thing, but these little moves being

133
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: able to complete a roster, a bullpen that people most people,

134
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: probably even seventy percent of Mets fans can't name every

135
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: guy in his bullpen. And they go through it, every

136
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: single guys, and it starts with a two Danny Young

137
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: talk about every single guy contributing back strakecuts of Bryce

138
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: Harper and Kyle Schwarper. It's like Foscar Bronsbank came in

139
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: with David Peterson couldn't get through the sixth. It's like

140
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: it's Jose Jose Puteau. I mean, Washtoll helped him a lot,

141
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: but it's just like every single guy throwing their zeros

142
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: and giving his offense the chance to find their way

143
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: and finally do it a day that they were basically dead.

144
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: The entire time.

145
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they Again, the Mets really didn't play well from

146
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: an offensive standpoint at all.

147
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: At all the whole season. We haven't hit.

148
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: You can look at this lineup and it's like, realistically,

149
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: it's been Lindor and and Alonso doing everything. And Lindor

150
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: has really only gotten hot since this home stand, Like

151
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: in these last ten games or so, he's got absolutely nuclear,

152
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: and he's got the batting average above three hundred, the

153
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: ops above eight point fifty. He's playing fantastic defense. Pete

154
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: Alonso every single time, it seems like, comes up with

155
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: guys on and drives in a run, makes a big play.

156
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: He had that huge, huge gap double in the extra

157
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: innings to make the game a tie game after the

158
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: Phillies came out and scored a quick one against Edwin

159
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: dis Max Krank in the tenth. Like, these are the

160
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: things that make me so confident again, not only about

161
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: the players on the field, but also Carlos Mendoza two. Like,

162
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: these guys are ready every single day, they don't give up,

163
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: they fight to the last out. It's really really like

164
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: corny shit, I know, but this is why I think

165
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people fell in love with this team

166
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: last year. People thought it was like Jose Iglesias, Jadi

167
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: Martinez like that stuff made a big difference, and I'm

168
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: sure it did maybe to create this culture. But they're

169
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: continuing on with it of games aren't over until that

170
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: final out is recorded, and I absolutely love it.

171
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: No and the team just they subscribe to that NonStop.

172
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: And again a lot of this give credit to you guys.

173
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: It comes back to the fans and the ball because

174
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: like you, the Donni and Keith are talking about it,

175
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: Pete Lindor Wan so the we're talking about it, like

176
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Carlsmondz is mentioning it, like the things that we're doing

177
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: packing that place every single day. And again shout out

178
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: Steve Cohen for and Alex Cohen for creating this environment

179
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: that Mets fans want to be a part of and

180
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: the amount of more Mets fans they're bringing in. I

181
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: have cousins that have never ever cared about baseball or

182
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: the Mets in their entire lives, and they they've been

183
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: to multiple Mets games this season. My one cousin was

184
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: like just getting really into the Mets right now. I

185
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: think just because like the families into its, uncles are

186
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: into with his cousins like me with the show and

187
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: every he's watching these Mets games like he's literally taking

188
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: a Mets papa for the first time. Like in our

189
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: group chat today while he was in City Field, he

190
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: texted all Caps Zach Wheeler used to be a Met

191
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: like question our question, our question mark. He did the

192
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: same thing with Pete car Armstrong the other day where

193
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: it's just like what that, but like everyone wants to

194
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: be a part of this team, in this culture right now.

195
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: You can feel it, like it's on the streets, like

196
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: you said, the guy l did you come in?

197
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was walking home on the subway in Astoria

198
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: and I'm coming down my street and all of a

199
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: sudden there's a guy on a moped like one of

200
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: the food delivery guys, screaming at me on my walk

201
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: to the subway going to the game. I had a

202
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: like seven year old man who must have been born

203
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 2: and raised in Astoria screaming. He's like, that's a real

204
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: queen's guy right there. I love that shirt. Let's fucking

205
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: go Mets. And I'm like, yes, like it's I always

206
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: think back and we've made the joke many times on

207
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: this podcast about the other guys when they get nick fever,

208
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: and you like see Will Ferrell on the big the

209
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: Jumbo tron at the next game.

210
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: Like I've got nick fever.

211
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: It feels like there's a Mets fever right now. And like,

212
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, fans of other teams are showing up today.

213
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: I saw a kid today I went to the three

214
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: hundred level when I trying to find some food. The

215
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: lines were extremely long and slow. But that's fine whatever

216
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: good baseball they win. I saw a kid in the

217
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: Braves jersey walking around saying, I know I'm wearing a

218
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: Brave jersey. I'm looking to trade it for a Mets

219
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: one if anyone will do that. It's like I love

220
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: seeing that kind of stuff.

221
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: Like this is awesome.

222
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: People want to be not only watching Mets games being

223
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: Mets fans, but they want to be at the stadium too.

224
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: It's so much fun at the game. And again because

225
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: of this environment that we created at the stadium, Like

226
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: the stadium is fun, the place is jumping people and

227
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: again there are I mean, it's not like last year,

228
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: like everyone gave a shit for the gimmick, the team

229
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: of gimmicks, and like this is still people care about baseball.

230
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Right now, and the baseball is good and people are

231
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: locked in on these games and people every single pick.

232
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: And the other part of it, too is just the

233
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: way they've totally massacred the schedules. We only get six

234
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: chances the entire year to actually play the Phillies in

235
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: city field and be able to get a chance at

236
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: this team. So part of that, it's cool that the

237
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: only six chances a year to beat this team on

238
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: your home field, so to beat them three those times amazing.

239
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: But also like we're talking about the fans, like people

240
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: want to beat these games against the Phillies, like we

241
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: hate the Phillies. The best part about baseball, one of

242
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: the best parts I think is the rivalries. And even

243
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: like the fact that again you went to all three

244
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: games this series, I got to go to two of them.

245
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: We met up our guy Yuri from the Netherlands. He

246
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: came here he's a preschool teacher while he's on spring break,

247
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: and he's like, I had to come to these games

248
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: against the Phillies, so shout out you're ura for that one.

249
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: But it's just like this, these games do mean more

250
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: even though it is April, and it's cool to be

251
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: able to win them. Even though it's till April, there's

252
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: not that many of these, so it's amazing to get

253
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: these wins when you have the chance.

254
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: No, it's super important. I mean, just even for the

255
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: season series. Being able to take three as opposed to

256
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 2: two is a huge switch.

257
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: That's a two game flip right there.

258
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: That's being up theoreically three games on the Phillies right

259
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: now as opposed to being up one, which is massive

260
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: going down the stretch as these two teams are going

261
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 2: to be competing for the National League East. I mean,

262
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: end of the day, sit home stand took care of business.

263
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: Let's dive a little bit deeper into what was going

264
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: on in some of these games.

265
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Again.

266
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: We'll start off with Game three because that's the most

267
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: recent one. Thirty six thousand people at City Field. We

268
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: had our boy Wardy out there, who's sending us. We

269
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: had Drewski, not the expert out there with us. We

270
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: had Jordan, who you guys have seen does Mets music.

271
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: All the time.

272
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: There's amazing stuff over there, Jordan Simpson. So we had

273
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: a bunch of just jolly. Alv was at the game,

274
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: like there was just everybody in the Mets world was

275
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: at the Mets game today, it felt like one of

276
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: those where, especially on the precipice of a sweep, you

277
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: had to be there. And again, like you said, the

278
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: place was rocking from first pitch all the way to

279
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: Starling Marte's walk off.

280
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: It felt like.

281
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: Exhausting at times because it was just like Brett Baty

282
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: hit that big two run home run that David Peterson

283
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: kind of gave it up like within the next couple innings,

284
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: and then there was the back and forth and big

285
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: plays in The Phillies truthfully out hit the Mets in

286
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: this game pretty easily than this one. They had a

287
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: bunch of hits all over the place. They just couldn't

288
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: get those runs in. But like, wow, good teams win

289
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: these baseball games. The Mets are a good team.

290
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: FT fam Arena Club is the modern way to collect

291
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 3: cards or buy or sell or trade or even grade.

292
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: And we're highlighting slab packs because this is the new

293
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: way to rip open a pack and get a really

294
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: good card. Aj But also if you're not into the card,

295
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: like I know you pulled a Bob Gibson card recently,

296
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: you can get an offer of ninety percent of the

297
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: estimated value and just accept it on the spot and

298
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: give it right back and maybe try again with another

299
00:11:59,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: slab pack.

300
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 4: I ain't getting rid of my Bob Gibson autograph card.

301
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 4: Bob Gibson ain't card signing cards anytime soon, so I'm

302
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: keeping this one. It gets graded for you. There's no mess.

303
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: The only thing I wish they had bubble gum. Can

304
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: they virtually send me some bubble gumps? Cut Other than that,

305
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 4: it's awesome. You can buy sell cards, they grate them

306
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: instantly for you, and physically you can also get the

307
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: cards if you want them, So I'm all for this.

308
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 4: This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

309
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, those cards are in your showroom in the app,

310
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: and then of course you can get the card physically

311
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,120

Speaker 3: off your first purchase.

316
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: It's just finding a way. Like the Mets, this was

317
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: another game where the mess of a few of those

318
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: this year, Like we deserve to win this game necessarily.

319
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: It didn't really feel like that for most of it,

320
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: but it's just again finding a way, like hanging in.

321
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: It's because the Mets did a lot of little things right,

322
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: and I feel like the Phillies did a lot of

323
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: little things wrong, and a lot of it comes back

324
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: to those one So THEO plays at the plate where

325
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: the first one came in the second inning when Alec

326
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: Bohm was over there, and I think was bases loathed,

327
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: and then there's a pop up to one, so though

328
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: throws a can at home, Bom doesn't test the arm.

329
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: I believe it was. The next play, Lindor make A

330
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: fields a ball in the hole and he had a

331
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: spikes to throw and Baby makes a nice pick on

332
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: it at second base. Was really nice play there as well.

333
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: And then the big play in the eighth inning, of course,

334
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: with Castiano's on third test Soldo's arm on the single,

335
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: and so THEO nails him at play where Castiano's if

336
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: he slid like a I don't know, like any kind

337
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: of athletic human being like he definitely would have made

338
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: it in there. And it happened again in the tenth

339
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: innings on third again in his time with the Phillies,

340
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: it early stretched the game to one. It felt like

341
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: there was a slight moment briefly kind of where it

342
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: could have gotten out of hand. And it's been documented

343
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: that the road team has does have the evantage in these.

344
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: With the new extrading rules, we're have years of data

345
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: now showing the road team wins more often, which is

346
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: significant because that's a real break from what's happened in

347
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Major League history with XT trading games and games in general.

348
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: But the fact that we were able to keep it

349
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: a one, and mostly because Castianos was now afraid of

350
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: one soldo's arm in the outfield, Max Crank did a

351
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: great chot to tighten that up. After DZ left with

352
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: the injury, which we haven't heard much about yet, he

353
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: had a crazy quote. That's why. That's what Mendoza said here.

354
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: They said that the medical staff saw that his one

355
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: of his legs was longer than the other, and then

356
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: di has His next word was they fixed the issue.

357
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: So I mean they so, I guess the elong gave

358
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: a shortened one of his legs. Would they shave it down?

359
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to. We're gonna have to get confirmation

360
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: on that eventually. But like just those plays in such

361
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: a tight game where then you're not really hitting as

362
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: a team and you're not really your bullpens absolutely on

363
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: his last legs, like the dying breadth, like the last

364
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: gas there before they have finally have it off day

365
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: after two weeks. Being able to stop runs with defense

366
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: is massive, and it's so big that they were able

367
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: to do that and want so specifically.

368
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like a like a chaos fever dream

369
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: that we're talking about Wan Soto's defense being a difference

370
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: maker in a game when the bat really hasn't done

371
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: much so far, but we're like, yeah, Wan Soto's glove

372
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: in his arm, Man, can you believe what he.

373
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: Did for us today?

374
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: That's so backwards that I never really thought I was

375
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: gonna say that ever as a Mets fan, and I'm

376
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: sure a lot of people who are hate watching also

377
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: never thought that they would say Wan Soto's defense would

378
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: be winning them games. But as we know, fans of

379
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: other teams are coming to the ballpark to try and

380
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: you know, disguise themselves as Mets fans to boo Won

381
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: Soda and chant against Jan Soda, which is just even crazier.

382
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: Big shout to Max Kranick in this one too, coming

383
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: in for Edwin Diaz in the tenth sticky situation. Diaz

384
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: came out with the crams Mac cran Max Cranic coming

385
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: in and just shutting the door. They're a really, really

386
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: good job for a guy who you mentioned earlier, threw

387
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: thirty plus pitches the other night one day of rest.

388
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: Max Cranic bear down was absolutely awesome. And I bet

389
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: that if you could have given cars some does the

390
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: truth here? Maybe not true here? I'm sure something asking

391
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: this after the game, could you expect Max Kranic, did

392
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: you want him pitching today? Probably been like no, absolutely not.

393
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: I did not want to break Max kraniicck in his game.

394
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: They might have said the same thing about Brazabon. They probably

395
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: said the same thing about Reg Garrett, who was actually

396
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: warming up during the bottom of the tenth, like I

397
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: can't let these guys pitch. But again, thirteen games in

398
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: thirteen days, the way that this bullpen and rotation was

399
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: stretched out and stressed over these two weeks, and the

400
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: fact that they delivered every single time that they were

401
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: on the field, Like the fact that Peterson, we say

402
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: he struggled today, he gave up two runs like that

403
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: felt like an operation. The Mets starting pitcher gave up

404
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: two runs in a home game. That feels like something

405
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: like that is barely ever even happened this year, and

406
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: the Phillies were really getting around on him. He was

407
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: not missing many bats. I think the Phillies had something

408
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: like I think it was like nine of like the

409
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: fifteen hard hit balls in this game belonged to the Philadelphia Phillies,

410
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: like they were smoking the ball. The Mets were really

411
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: struggling to make any solid contact besides pe Alonso. Just

412
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: looking at the box score right now, Trede Turner, three

413
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: hard hit balls, real midto three, boom three like they

414
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: were they were honest today and they just couldn't they

415
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: couldn't find a way. And this it feels, I don't know,

416
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: it feels like the exact oppos of how it felt the

417
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: beginning of the season last year. When this Phillies team

418
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: right now has to feel like they could do no rights,

419
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: specifically against this Mets team. Because now, dating all the

420
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: way back to when Louis Trends arrived and we had

421
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: that big London series win in June, the second game

422
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: of that series, They've only have only beaten US two

423
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: total times since then two three times, maybe three times.

424
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: I think it's two because we won three out of

425
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: four in September and then we won three out of

426
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: three out of four in the playoffs. Oh yeah, start

427
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: not including that first London game.

428
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 5: My bad.

429
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry. Object not unobjective. Start wins, starting on

430
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: the win, including that loss. But it's just like this.

431
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Now we're on a stretch here where they definitely and

432
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: again April doesn't really matter. But this nice, especially listening

433
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: to their broadcasters, listening to their fans day in the ballpark,

434
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: listening to Price Harper after the game, major energy. It

435
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: feels like, right now we're in a moment, which is

436
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: nice to have that we have something over these guys.

437
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: We're developing an edge on them, and you need that

438
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: over the course of the season. Yeah.

439
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that Phillies fans were chanting Eagles

440
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: after the game e A. G. L Ees, which is

441
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: surprising because it didn't think Philly fans could really spell.

442
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 2: We saw their mayor had an issue spelling Eagles when

443
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: they were trying to do that before one of their games.

444
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: You know, they crawled back into their sewers and their

445
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: and their ship holes or wherever they lived in Philadelphia

446
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: went back to their to the dungeons or whatever that

447
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: they live in.

448
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: Garbage city, garbage people. Let's go bets. All right, that

449
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: was game three, nice win. Love to see that. One

450
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: more thing I want to mention game three, okay, one

451
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: much one more thing. Brett Baby has best game overall.

452
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: We talked about the home run and then he was

453
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: gonna make a couple of really nice play second base.

454
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: He turned nice little play. I mentioned the pick before

455
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: and the Lindora ball in the hole, and he also

456
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: made like his actual first like legiti nice play where

457
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: he like came up the middle over the bag, made

458
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: the jump throw the first base the pete. I was like,

459
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: classic Brett Bailey the second the pressure is like really

460
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: on on on, like there this. But we also, I

461
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: think we've done this whole thing. We've barely talked about

462
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: Stolling Marte actually having the two out single to win

463
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: the game. A guy who needed the bass hit off

464
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Romana, who was just stinking I told you. I

465
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: also I was like markte so do for a walk off?

466
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 6: It?

467
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: Yah, it's gonna be him. I know it's gonna be him,

468
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: and they had the Phillies had Romano warming up as

469
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: early as the third ending of this game, then again

470
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: the middle innings, then he finally came in to pitch

471
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: the tenth where it's like this, this doesn't feel like

472
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be good. And again, just listening to

473
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: these guys talk, it's really nice to hear.

474
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, the Phillies broadcast postgame John Kruck not going crazy.

475
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what he did. After Game three.

476
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: We did hear the their play by play, I think

477
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 2: McCarthy or whatever. He was just like, that's when, all right,

478
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: Like god, but it was funny to see their post

479
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 2: game show, which is absolutely electric. After the Phillies lose,

480
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 2: you would think that it's like World War three happening,

481
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: or that like something of severe and actual like issue

482
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: was going on. They were talking to John Cruck after

483
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: Game two because the Phillies of course dropped the series.

484
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: They've been having all these issues against the Mets. John

485
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: Cruck's like, oh no, how will they come back from

486
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: this three game deficit? Over one hundred and thirty games,

487
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 2: the season's almost over. It's like that same energy is

488
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: kind of like where we were last year in April

489
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: where it was like, oh my god, like what's going

490
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 2: on with this team? Like, how are we gonna win

491
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: baseball games? We had such a horrible start. That's kind

492
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: of my cooler here, that's my cooler of like a little.

493
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: Bit of a heat check.

494
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: Hey, as good as we're playing, still so many baseball

495
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 2: games left this is but not any means over.

496
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: Oh totally, Like at the same time, we could be

497
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: very excited about having the best record in baseball through

498
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: twenty five games, but also understanding about what this actually

499
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: means in context the season. Like just just for a

500
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: frame of reference, guys, you guys, remember how long last

501
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: season wasn't how bad it felt at a time exactly

502
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: a year ago on April twenty fourth, twenty twenty four,

503
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: the Mets were over five hundred. It's crazy. We weren't

504
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: even bad yet. We were thirteen and eleven. And that's

505
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: how long last season was. And if you remember that

506
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: series that felt like an absolute nice to the chest

507
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: last many when the Phillies took three or four from us,

508
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: with the first two being at home and the next

509
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: two being in Philadelphia, when Edward Dieza is the horrible

510
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: blown save with Bryson, stop hitting the home run like

511
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: it's night. It just because the Phillies, we feel like

512
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: we have an edge and we feel like we kind

513
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: of owned them right now. You remember how last season

514
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: I did when that's the way the met season. The

515
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: Philly season started last year, so it was a long

516
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: way to go. But it's better to be winning games early.

517
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: And Bryce Harper had this quote too, It's like, yeah,

518
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any of this early stuff,

519
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: like I want to play good baseball from April to November.

520
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: Like that part is true, And that's that was my

521
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: take with Lindora and so earlier, like a week ago,

522
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: when I was like, I just want them to play better.

523
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: That's it.

524
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: I know they're very good. I just want better. And

525
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: Lindora has stepped the fuck up, that's for sure.

526
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. A lot of two episodes ago, we

527
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: were upset after a bad after a bad series against

528
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: the Twins, which rapped up seven in a row. We

529
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: have two six game winning streaks this year. We have

530
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: we have two sweep episodes in a row. We don't

531
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: get that very often, back to back sweeps, two different

532
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: six game win streaks already it's.

533
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: Fine and sandwich that in between with Braves drama like

534
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 2: this is awesome because.

535
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: It gets better than this, and even just going back

536
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: now it's a totally reverse order Griffin Cannon Game two,

537
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: it felt like that. Like again, there was only times

538
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: this years that felt like okay, especially between Wednesday and Tuesday,

539
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: like this is the game we're going to lose. Like

540
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: hard to sweep a team. Phillies are a good team.

541
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna find a way to get thro ruin us here.

542
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: But like even that game like Wild, didn't exactly feel

543
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: like it was likely that we were going to lose

544
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: the game. It felt like it was the game we

545
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: definitely could have losed. The Phillies made tons of hard

546
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: contact and Gryffin Canning in the first few winning and

547
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: texted you early I was like, this is the Canning

548
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: regression game. Like that was like I think there was

549
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: that point in the second inning where they had like

550
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: four consecutive hard hit balls and I was like, ah,

551
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: they're really finally lining up, Like it's not going to

552
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: go that well. So between the first two winnings of

553
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: this game, the Phillies had one two and then ninety

554
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 1: four and a half, but then three four hard hit

555
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 1: balls in the first two winnings, and both of those

556
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: innings they sent thet they batted around, they put ten

557
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: guys to the play in two winnings. They're like, Okay,

558
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: this finally is going to happen. But then after that,

559
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: like one of my favorite baseball sayings, like Gryffin, Canning

560
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: just kind of got in the rocking chair and no

561
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: one there was no pressure on him, but all it

562
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: looked great again. He scattered a couple more hits, the

563
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: five strikeouts. Who's missing bats again with all three of

564
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: his pitches. It's remarkable how good this guy has been

565
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: this year, in considering that last year he was there

566
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: quotes the worst pitcher in baseball, the Mets guy clowns

567
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: for signing him. You guys are screaming us all off

568
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: season about about how the fact that the Mets are

569
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: going to allow Griffin Kay to be in their rotation.

570
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: The Braves cut him day with the Braves, Alex Aanthopoulos,

571
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: he would do Greek witchcraft, black magic right now to

572
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: get this guy in their rotation. He'd be their second best.

573
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: That second again be style, but he would he would

574
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: completely change that guys their season if he was in

575
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: rotation right now, like he's he's pitching differently every single game.

576
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: This game was more fastballs, more early in the county.

577
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: He still missing a live ass with the slide. They

578
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: kind of went away from the change up, but the

579
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: change was more in the zone. It was like he's

580
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: really figuring some shit out. It's amazing to watch Starr

581
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: then start that Mets signed him for what four million

582
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: dollars right this four or five something like that.

583
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: Five million. We've used this sat a couple of times before.

584
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: FanGraph Frank Grafts assigns a dollar value to player's performance

585
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: based on their stats and everything like that thus far,

586
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: and I think it might have to do with a

587
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: little bit of war as well. Right now, Griffin Canning

588
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 2: has been worth three point nine million dollars the Mets

589
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: gas house money, the rest of the way house money,

590
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: the rest of the way. Like that's obviously we want

591
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: him to continue to pitch. Well, that's not a serious

592
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 2: take there, but like it just goes to show you

593
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: again the process of David Stearns, the process of this

594
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: organization and what they're looking at, what they're thinking about

595
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: Jeremy Hefner, Eric Gagers, like top down, it's just really

596
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 2: really good to see what happens when you have adults

597
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: in the room and it's not agents because you want

598
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: to get a cheaper deal on Jacob deGrom.

599
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use the worst warri Im every gonna use

600
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: this podcast right now, but I'm gonna use it THISU.

601
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: I think this is the actual time it works. It's synergy,

602
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: like there is a show. There's a cohesiveness right now

603
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: between everything going on, like there's a streamline, completely clear

604
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: line of logic and consciousness is happening from Jaegers and

605
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: Hefner to Stearn's to Mendoza to Steven alf Cohen, Like

606
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: everyone right now is thinking similarly, and everyone's on the

607
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: same page, and they're able to work with each other,

608
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: utilize everyone's strengths and weaknesses and make these things happen.

609
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: And a crazy conversation was happening today in the Messed

610
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: Up Discord. If you guys want to join the Mess

611
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: Up Discord, let us know that the link will be

612
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: in the description where people are talking about what actually

613
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: is going to happen with this rotation. When Shauman and

614
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: I and Frankie Mantis are how true, because those guys

615
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: were on the field and throwing I think it was

616
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: before Tuesday's game, maybe before Mondays as well, and they're

617
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna be probably throwing some bullpens agatting. Rehab assignments going soon.

618
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully they come back by the end of May early June.

619
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know who to take out this rotation they go.

620
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is going to going to work itself

621
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: out by them, because it always does with pitching a

622
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: major league baseball But like I can't even believe for

623
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: four weeks into the season, we're having conversations like who's

624
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: gonna leave them ext rotation to make room for Shaan

625
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: and I a right now the guy who's gonna be

626
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: making the most money in the whole thing, because I

627
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: don't know, Like we're gonna talk about Tyler and McGill soon.

628
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: I don't know if you could take him out of

629
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: the rotation right now. You need to take Griffin Canning out, like, well,

630
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: you can't.

631
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't even have an option. You're not cutting Griffin Canning.

632
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: People would be lining up down the street to sign

633
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: Griffin Canning's their team. This version of Griffin Canning, but

634
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: White Sox will be jumping over people to put him

635
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: in their number two, like daf David Peterson. I know

636
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: he didn't have the best start in the world on Wednesday,

637
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: but like can't take him out of the rotations like

638
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: code On. I know this is us jinxing ourselves a

639
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: major knock on Wood because something's going to happen some

640
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna find a way to make this all work.

641
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: But it's like having those discussions on April twenty third,

642
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: based on the discussions we were having when Nick Pollock

643
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: him on this podcast on what was at like March

644
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: twenty seventh. If we're not happy, it's you know what,

645
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: the people were right. People are people are right. It's

646
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: just it's so night and day. And also again like

647
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: we're we're cruising for a bruising stuff. We're gonna get regretted,

648
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: so something don't happen. We're gonna have a series where

649
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: we give up like twenty seven rounds, like and we

650
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: we can't pitch like this for a full season. Like

651
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: we like the Matchers, we like we like Jeremy After,

652
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: we like again what everything is looking like, But we

653
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: know that Griffin Canning is not gonna have a three

654
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: two era the entire year, Like that's just not possible,

655
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: no for sure. And then even this game again like

656
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: thinking about like, Okay, this is the game Mets go

657
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: wing to lose. Is hard to sweep a team like

658
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: I dropped the sat in the last podcast. The Phillies

659
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: hadn't lost a start by Christopher Sanchez danting back to

660
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: the last August. And then he leaves this game. I

661
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: guess it sucks for for Christopher Sanchi. He's been one

662
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: of the best pitches baseball so far the season. I

663
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: really hope he gets healthy. But he leaves the game

664
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: the second ending with like unscribed armsre on this and

665
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: we still.

666
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: Mets were chasing him too, like they were smacking him around.

667
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: He'd give it up too, He'd give it up tour

668
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 2: and runs walk to four hits. Like the Mets were

669
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: taking the best swings that anybody had against Christopher Sanchez

670
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: this year.

671
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: They forced him through fifty eight PA two innings. I

672
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: even thought the fact that it was just such high

673
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: stress endings that they were like we gotta get him

674
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: out of there. And then again Jose As Okar like

675
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: get in the middle of getting some hit, scoring the

676
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: again the game tying run shout of Major League Baseball

677
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: for oh no, let's go ahead run in the in

678
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: the second inning. We just didn't look back like they

679
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: got their one little run. And then Griffin Canning the

680
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: bullpen PJ Hunter five big booms, boom boom, boom, boom boom,

681
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: getting to the end of the game still and Pete

682
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: and then Louis Torenz going just total clutch mode. Two

683
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: out of RBIs showing us what that how important risk

684
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: is and how much of an idiot I am, and

685
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: even the fact that someone like Ryan Stanek has his

686
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: has his worst outing of the year, and I say

687
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: worse than air quotes, because this guy still is No.

688
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: Point nine to sixty ra we standing at the disco always.

689
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: That was probably the greatest call I've ever made in

690
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: this podcast, begging for that. Got to be on this

691
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: team last off season, and we turned a nasty double

692
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: play and Pete makes an incredible pick at first base,

693
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: and it's just like it's every day we do little things,

694
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: we win games like it's just the script is the

695
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: best right now, and Won Soto is still not even hitting.

696
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: It's crazy not even a little bit.

697
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: It's it's nuts, like it's been Lindor and Alonso doing

698
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: a lot of the heavy lifting. Shout out Luis on

699
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: Helicunya again, another great series from him. He's just such

700
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 2: a little freak. I love watching that play baseball like

701
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: he's he's so damn zesty and I absolutely love it.

702
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: Viento's is swinging the bat a lot better.

703
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: It's still not the Viento's we expect, but he's swinging

704
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: the bat better, so that's positive signs. The defense is

705
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: terrible at third, but that's just just how it's gonna be.

706
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: He's not gonna play good defense at third basically the

707
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 2: entire season. He never will. But this at bats are

708
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: getting better. That's positive signs, you know, Like Tyrone Taylor.

709
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 2: I know Tyrone Taylor's numbers are putridly bad, horrible. I

710
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: still feel like he's when he's making contact, it's been

711
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: hard contact at least.

712
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, he's been amazing

713
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: in center field. And that's really vital from this team

714
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: because we'll talk about I guess after we briefly talked

715
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: about Game one, but there's going to be a huge

716
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: roster decision made on Friday morning for the Mets, and

717
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be between Jose Azokar and Brett Baby, and

718
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's gonna be fascinating see with direction

719
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: they go.

720
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: I think it's also super understated, like you mentioned about

721
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: like how good Taylor's been in centerfield, how good the

722
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: defense has been in general, like the reason why a

723
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: lot of these Brewers teams in the past, and I

724
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: keep comparing it, but that's David Sertins. You know, that

725
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: was his baby. That was where he started a lot

726
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 2: of those teams. When you look at him on paper,

727
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: like how are the pitchers pitching that?

728
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: Well?

729
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 2: How do they keep winning all these games? You play

730
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: good defense, the pitching looks better because of that good defense,

731
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: and you score enough runs, you're going to win a

732
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: lot of the time. And that's that's basically what the

733
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: Mets have been doing right now.

734
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: And having good relievers. So when you leave a game

735
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: with two men on six inning, none of the runs

736
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: come in and get get charged at your right shrekouts

737
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: are huge. Who would It's just crazy. But there's also

738
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: like those Brewers teams, like a classic Rays team, But

739
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: if you dropped Francisco and doorth p Lonzo want so

740
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: on top of it. Yes, Like if you're like, here's

741
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: a hundre's next one hundred and fifty million dollars to

742
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: the Brewers, just wait till those guys get good. Yeah, right,

743
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: Like that's kind of the whole thing that's going on

744
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: right here. But there's just again another clean baseball game.

745
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: Even going back to the game Monday, we're both in

746
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: the park for Tyler McGill, guys, Tyler or Tyler fucking miguil, Like,

747
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: hold the people you will the U up is this

748
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: is for officially here he busts out a kick change

749
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: in this game too, that apparently he was working on

750
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: this offseason, and he got he got three whiffs on

751
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: four swings with it, and he's just like you pulled

752
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: out just enough, killed just enough vert the command was

753
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: okay on it, but was still good enough. Like it's

754
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: the embarrassment of riches that this guy suddenly has in

755
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: his repertoire, which I never read ever with a shid

756
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: think even a year ago, where he was just going

757
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: fastball sinker, just going after the Phillies, and he's almost

758
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: becoming a bit of a Phillies killer. I saw Corey

759
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: Simons just pre and post game of a Phillies and NBC

760
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: Sports Philadelphia just talking about it. I think he was

761
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: a one point six to two era in his last

762
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: like nine starts against the Phillies. I think the first

763
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: of those being the beginning of that team, no hither

764
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty two season, which is really funny

765
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: think about how long ago that was. Tell them McGill

766
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: all four of his pitches he threw in this game

767
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: at least three swings and missus. I've never ever seen

768
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: him do that entire career. And I talked about lest start,

769
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: how he was he was struggling to get on top

770
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: of that slider. He didn't have the same depth. That's

771
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: why he wasn't really able to get swings and misses,

772
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: get chases. He fell behind the count more often he

773
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: had that depth totally. Back on Monday night and a

774
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: cold night, not an easy night to pitch, and he

775
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: was awesome with that pitch. His fastball got out to

776
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: ninety seven, like it was it. He has chick going

777
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: on right now and again he's got a bit of

778
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: a ship on his shoulder too.

779
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: He's going up and in on Alec Boom brushing him

780
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: off the plate like he was not afraid to be

781
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: like this is, I'm in control right now, I'm pitching.

782
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna see the balls where I want

783
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: them to go. And like going up in on Alec Boom,

784
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: dropping those changes, like you said, getting tho swings and missus,

785
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: it's like damn like big.

786
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: Drips, got confidence. It's kind of it's kind of crazy.

787
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 1: Phillis had one hard hit ball against him in five

788
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: and aute third innings and he struck out ten of

789
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: his career high with with four walks and one one

790
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: hit batsman. So because of course it's still Tyler magill.

791
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: I just again just one hard hit ball, one hit

792
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: in general. But like the there was again there was

793
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 1: some moments of concern because there was that one time

794
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: when he had two actually walked three consecutive guys the

795
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: end up hitting We're like, oh, there's Saler McGill. But

796
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: like the this is this is what has been preaching,

797
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: I guess for too long about Tyler McGill for years.

798
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: But just like it's so close, it was always so close,

799
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: and we're still not even there yet. We still haven't

800
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: really fully clicked into place. But it's just there's so

801
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: much that he could do well that the margin for

802
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: err is hilariously larger now for Tyler McGill, because he

803
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: sits ninety five ninety six touches nine seven miles an hour.

804
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: Now he has now pitching that slider, he's developing that

805
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: kick change. It's actually becoming a pitch he can throw

806
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more with confidence. The sinkers an awesome

807
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: weapon against the Riots that he got he started getting

808
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: going last year like he's legit a good pitcher, and

809
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm really happy that this is finally all coalescing coming

810
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: together for him.

811
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: And also, oh, captain, my captain, Francisco Lindor. I mean,

812
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: this guy is we mentioned it earlier, is just on

813
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: such a tear right now. He is so locked in.

814
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: The two home runs in this game were unbelievable. He

815
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: had I think hits in every single game. He was

816
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: getting on base. He's playing good defense. He has been

817
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: on another level since they have come back to City Field,

818
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: like that Minnesota Twins series we talked about, like bad

819
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: series forget about. I can't believe we lost a series

820
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: to that team based on the way that we just

821
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: saw these guys play over the last seven but Lindor

822
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: at home is just like a completely different animal, and

823
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: especially the Lindor against the Phillies. Ever since that idiot

824
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: put out that tweet that you sent me on Twitter,

825
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: DMS felt like Lindor's two for his last twenty six

826
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: against the Phillies. Think since then, he's like hitting six

827
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: hundred with like seven home runs or some ridiculous shit.

828
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: He's so fucking good, Like it's.

829
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: Really really nice because I think I think the Lindorks

830
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: are over. I think it's I think it's deck gone,

831
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: completely gone.

832
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: I have that tweet from at Philly's tailgate, so I'm

833
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: never gonna really, I mean will we love to shout

834
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: out to Philly fans on here when they're stupid and

835
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: they often aremutants. There's a great one. This is from

836
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: this hilarious date. That is from too September thirteenth, twenty

837
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: twenty four. Francisco indoors two for twenty six against the

838
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: Phillies this season. Nice, what happened. The whole thing was

839
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: for that he did that to this for eighty likes

840
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: and will live in total inso me, I have a

841
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: bookmark great again for the next for the next time

842
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: something happens too, just big and sure. And also we

843
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: got Steve Cohen tweet while we were recording. He'll tell

844
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: you that in a second.

845
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 6: It was.

846
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: It was Steve Cohen just being very you know, analytical,

847
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: and Steve Cohen here I think he did make up

848
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: a words. Well, I'll share that here. But we need

849
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: to keep writhing this wave. There will be mean reversion.

850
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: Made that one up, revers r E V E R

851
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: S O N reversion at some point. But there's something

852
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: special happening in city fields, so much fun. He's got

853
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: a strip regression, right, mean regression, mean reversion or maybe reversion.

854
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, a revert there. There will be a

855
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: mean regression. There definitely will be mean regression. He's right

856
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: about that's that's the that's the right way I think

857
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: about this. But it's still really good right now. I

858
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: had notice V two from when the door hit the

859
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: home run, on hit, the double hit the single, we

860
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: hit the single on h during Tuesday's game, and it

861
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: was the Francisco Lindoor had roses ops from six eighty

862
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: three to eight sixty four between ten at bats. It's crazy.

863
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: That also goes to show you, guys, how early in

864
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: season and still is and how little everyone's status and

865
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: records and standings all that stuff matter. That being said,

866
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: it's some nice to beat the top of them.

867
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: Love to be eighteen and seven after twenty five games

868
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: in the season like that's it's a really nice place

869
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: to be. It feels a hell of a lot better

870
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: than being a couple games over five hundred, like the

871
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: Phillies fields sure of a lot better than being the

872
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves, Like this is this is what we expected

873
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: from this team. We knew that this team was good.

874
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: We knew that this team could perform like this, especially

875
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: with how last season ended. And I love that they're

876
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: riding it through to the start of the twenty twenty

877
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: five season. And we've got to say this too. We

878
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: said it at the end of the season last year.

879
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: We caught a little bit of flack about like what's fun.

880
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: What's the most fun thing about baseball is winning. That's

881
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: how you get people in the stadium, That's how you

882
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: get people excited. And the metro winning baseball games people

883
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: are there. It's exciting and it's way more fun than

884
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: any gim it could ever be way more fun.

885
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: I the gimmicks aren't fun, but when they come organically,

886
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: they're great. Last thing I want to talk about on

887
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: the field, just briefly, would you think of leaving in

888
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: Crantic for the ninth inning as with the five friendly

889
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: on Monday? Uh? And the moment I thought we tried

890
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: to get a little cute, but knowing that we had

891
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: so many games in a row, like I, I didn't

892
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: hate for that reason.

893
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: I don't know who else he could have gone to, Like,

894
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it should have been Edwin there. I

895
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: wanted to not have Edwind pitch in this game. I

896
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: was hoping we could avoid that. I don't know who

897
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: it would have been, but it did feel like at

898
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: the moment I was like, ooh, trying to get a

899
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: little cute.

900
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: I would have at least pulled him after that first

901
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: batter got up. Yeah, I was agree with you. I

902
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: was pretty okay with because I was like, this ballpench

903
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: just being taxed so fine, But they were just being

904
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: taxed so damn hard. Like the way it was going,

905
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: Like Budo pitched inning at third day before Danny Young

906
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: could pitch, Ryan's dad could pitch, Like just before that, Like,

907
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Diaz has been two winnings and Regair

908
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: two days before on Saturday, Like, It's just these guys

909
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: have been working. So I didn't think that was bad,

910
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: but I also didn't like to handle it Diaz giving

911
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: up the home run, the price and Stott stunk little

912
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: stack in the mouth. But it doesn't matter. We swept

913
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: the whole series. Who cares. It was just a little

914
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: nerve racking to see that one.

915
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: We were like, oh man, like what a great win,

916
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 2: but like, ah, I can't believe that game about that close.

917
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, totally fine because again what happened afterwards

918
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: was just tremendous baseball. And the one thing I want

919
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: to talk about before we get to a preview of

920
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: a four game series against Washington Nationals in the fact

921
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: that we got some news from the Como and the

922
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: Mets people that there's there's the expectation that both Jeff

923
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: McNeil and Francisco Alivers will be activated on Friday for

924
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: the opening game against the Nationals. So I got to

925
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: ask you too, who gets sent down for Jeff McNeil. Also,

926
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: before we even do this, actually shoutut Hayden Sanger Haye

927
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: Sanger had an incredible month with this team. Proved he's

928
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: a major lely catcher. Proved he's a guyho's gonna be

929
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: around for a while. Claps up for Hayden Sanger right here.

930
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: That was again amazing time. But Hayden Sanger proved that

931
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: this camp, this is, this is he is a catcher.

932
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: He's a major lea catcher, and he'll be around for

933
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: a while. He will be valuable to this team for many,

934
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: many games to come. I'm sure a catcher is going

935
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: to get hurt at some point during the time that

936
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: he continues to boot with the Mets. And defensively, something

937
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: I meant you I was like, have you noticed no

938
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: one's running on us anymore? Like no one is trying

939
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: to steal bases.

940
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: That's a huge credit to Hayden Sanger, Louis Therenz, and

941
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 2: the Mets coaching staff for getting that all. In check

942
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 2: back to the McNeil question, I think it has to

943
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: be azzle.

944
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: Car I do.

945
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: And the reason I say this is because Brandon Nimmo

946
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: can play center field, luisn Helakunya can play center field,

947
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: Jeff McNeil can play center field.

948
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: It seems like.

949
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: It may not be the goal glove caliber defense, it

950
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: may not be top tier, it may not be to

951
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: that same level as Tyrone Taylor. But I think right now,

952
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 2: with how the way that this Mets team is operating

953
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 2: and working, I do think Brett Baty deserves a spot.

954
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: They flashed a stat on the scoreboard during the game

955
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 2: before he hit the home run that I think in

956
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 2: his last seven starts he was hitting around three hundred

957
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 2: with an eight hundred OHPS. He's playing better baseball. He's

958
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 2: good defensively. With mar Fiento struggling like how he has

959
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: defensively and offensively, Brett Batty starting to heat up a

960
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 2: little bit and does play better third base defense. I

961
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: think there is more value to this team right now

962
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: to have Brett Baty keep that option rather than have

963
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: Jose Asilcar, who could be a last inning, worst case

964
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 2: scenario center fielder if you really need it.

965
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I totally agree with you on the same page.

966
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how much are going to actually lets

967
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: some of these guys play center field to major level

968
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: because and they might not at all, honestly, because since

969
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: here got hurt, I believe he's played all but one

970
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: innings to center field when Brandon iimma mixed in that

971
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: one inning during actually wh Jose Sery got injured. But

972
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: it's been it's been all Tyron Taylor and I think

973
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: that when you have a lineup that's is as good

974
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: as the Mets lineup is, and I know it's not playing,

975
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: not hitting as well as like it could be right now,

976
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: like for sure, but you can have a dead spot

977
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: or two in liveup. You just can't like it's okay

978
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: as long as someone's giving you a premier defense. Yeah,

979
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't want that. It's not it's not it's not

980
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: the best case scenario. But like it also, Tartel doesn't

981
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: really give premier defense. You have to hit a little

982
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: golden cebrero on Wednesday as well, But it's it's worth

983
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: it to have his glove out there and to keep

984
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: these guys in the roster because you have a guy

985
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: like Marte and the roster who can't play the field

986
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: and it's giving you great great again great haitl on

987
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: Wednesday there is a middling performance at the plate, and

988
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: then you have a guy like Vants the roster who

989
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: gives you no defense and right now, middling performance at

990
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: the plate, like it's it's hard to stack all these

991
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: guys together and kind of be able to have too

992
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: deep with all these other positions because you have two

993
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: guys really don't have any defensive home and at the

994
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: end of the day with Baby, he is by far

995
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: the best defensive third basement the entire forty man roster,

996
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: and no one and no one's close to him, Like lay.

997
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: At the game, you should probably pull Vento's for Beaty

998
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: at third base for defense.

999
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: Totally, or just you bring in a Cooney for Baity

1000
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: a second base and move Bay the third. Like he's

1001
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: the bet'st the Mets best defensive lineup in the entire organization,

1002
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: it starts with Brett Bailey at their base. I think

1003
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: just from that function alone, even the fact he can

1004
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: run into one hit a four and just twenty five

1005
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: foot nuke against Zach Wheeler at fourteen, it's worth having

1006
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: him at the at the bomb as roster, I think

1007
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: more so than someone who again, like you said, has

1008
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: to mix in center field once in a while and

1009
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: you will lose a so car he doesn't have an

1010
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: option because cause that's something you probably can find another

1011
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: Jose as Okr like that's somebody who can mix in

1012
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: center field.

1013
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: It's Almosers are starting Oscar Gonzalez. Like these guys kind

1014
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: of just exist in the free agent market.

1015
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: And I think it is telling that the one game

1016
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: of so Car started on Tuesday, he did not play

1017
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: center field. Tellers still played center fields. I think that's

1018
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: the Mets telling us that this guy's a good outfield defender,

1019
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: but he's not a great one. And I think that's

1020
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: very telling as to what probably will happen with his

1021
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: roster decision, and also the other thing at just ten

1022
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: foil caps that they wade. David Searns thinks Brett Bay

1023
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: is one option year left. The second he goes down

1024
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: to Syracuse, you lose that option year. And if there's

1025
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: ever an opportunity to train him, if there's ever anything

1026
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: else that happens to Brett Baby, his value plummets immensely

1027
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: the second that option is gone. And now he can

1028
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: never be sent back to the minor leagues again without

1029
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: having the past waivers, which he will not do. So

1030
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: he would claim Bret Bay if he passed waivers in

1031
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: a heartbeat. He started their basement in the White Sox.

1032
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: The next day, the absolutely the next day, the Angels.

1033
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams. I'll take this Rockys. They'd

1034
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: love this guy. He might be a Hall of Famer

1035
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: on the Rockies. But I'm very curious see that. It's

1036
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 1: also very curious to see what the playing time split

1037
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: is between Torrens and Alvarez when that when he comes back, I.

1038
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: Think that Renz has cooled off a little bit. He

1039
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 2: got that big hit spike the bat on Tuesday, which

1040
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 2: was huge. Torens is the man, plays great defense. I

1041
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: do think it's obviously still gonna be Alvarez starting. I

1042
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: thought when Trens was high, you're gonna give him the

1043
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: hot hand, But now that he's cooled off a little bit,

1044
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: I think you give it Alvers. I think it should

1045
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: be about fifty to fifty split. Don't let Alvarez catch

1046
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 2: two games in a row, or if it's a late

1047
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,479
Speaker 2: game night game and a four PM like, be smart

1048
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 2: about it.

1049
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: Both of these guys should be playing.

1050
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: They both have value to this team, and especially Luis

1051
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 2: Derenz on the defensive side. Nobody can run on this guy.

1052
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: He's a freak and that's been a kryptonite for Mets

1053
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 2: in the year's past.

1054
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I also think the same is kind of

1055
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: becoming true with a Kunya and McNeil. I think there's

1056
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: a really good chance, especially at this point in their career,

1057
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: Cooney is significantly better defend than Jeff McNeil. I still

1058
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: believe Jeff McNeil's hitther and no, a lot of Mets

1059
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: fans don't, but I still think he's gonna be able

1060
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: to walk back in and hit and yeah, he's got

1061
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: it in a major league regular where Cooney is still

1062
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: kind of on that razor's edge, but he does everything

1063
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: else so damn well, So I think it's gonna be.

1064
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: It's it's a really crazy thing that we're talking about.

1065
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: The Mets have too many good players right now which

1066
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: have as crazy. Take about Akoonya, and I want you

1067
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: to see how you feel about this.

1068
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 2: Okay, he almost sometimes he almost has more value being

1069
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: a bench guy because, like, because he's not getting on

1070
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 2: base at a consistent base, being able to just basically

1071
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 2: put him on base whenever you want and then he

1072
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 2: can steal bases, Like I think that has almost immense

1073
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 2: like more value for this team right now than if

1074
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 2: you were playing every single day over a guy like

1075
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 2: Jeff McNeil.

1076
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: What do you think Luis and Helicuony is on base

1077
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: percentages right now it's three sixty. It's pretty high. What's

1078
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: the world fifty second? The walk rate is over ten percent?

1079
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: Is it really? I told you this, We talked about

1080
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: him last week. He's not barely he has no barrels.

1081
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: I thought it was just like low k rate, low

1082
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: walk rate. It's low both. That was always by think

1083
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: of him where and it's a decent hard hit rate,

1084
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: whereas I mean it's it's dropping a little bit, but

1085
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: he always finds a ways just get enough of the Beatti.

1086
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: I still think you'd give it to McNeil, But I

1087
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: think you are going to see times where McNeil goes

1088
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: to the outfield, maybe Nimo plays center and acun you

1089
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: play second base in that way. And also if there's

1090
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: like a game like just to start moving into the

1091
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: National's preview, like Sunday against Mitchell Parker, Makinghi won't play

1092
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: that game. He won't start at least line. Yeah, and

1093
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: it's nice to have a guy like Mehil to come

1094
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 1: in when a rite, when a bad right handed reliever

1095
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: comes in the game. He could pitch hit like McNeill

1096
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: pinch hitting for Louis Helcuni in the sixth inning. That

1097
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 1: sounds great to me. When you pinch running for someone

1098
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: that's seven in a different game, that also sounds great

1099
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: to me. Like there's pitch, that's awesome. We've got options

1100
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: right now. This is this is a good, deep, well

1101
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: constructed team. Like that's what we can hang our hats on. Yes,

1102
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: all right, let's go ahead and get to that Nationals

1103
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: preview right now? What are the pitching matchups for a

1104
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: weird four game series that ends on a Monday, weird

1105
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: four game series. I don't know what we do for

1106
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: the Nationals. A couple of times in the last couple

1107
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: of years we've ended on Mondays, specifically the Nationals, and

1108
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: and the game times are also strange. So Friday six

1109
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: forty five codes Sango versus Jake Irving, Saturday four oh

1110
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: five Clay Holmes versus TBA we don't know yet, Sunday

1111
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: one thirty five sneaky asof right here, Tyler McGill versus

1112
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: Mitchell Parker. And then Monday four oh five, so kind

1113
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: of half a travel day to come back home. Griffin

1114
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: Canning versus old friend Trevor Williams. So we miss Mackenzie

1115
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: Gore right now. Yes, as of right now, he's pitching today.

1116
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: It's suching today. Wait today, No, he might be. He

1117
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: might be Saturday. TBA. Then is a TBA, it says

1118
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: the TBA though, because his last game was in Coorse

1119
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: when he pitched on Saturday, So he should be pitching. Oh,

1120
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: they probably have a game tomorrow that he's pitching. That

1121
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: that makes sense.

1122
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: Nice, Yes, yeah, Missing Hume is great because he's so good.

1123
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: He's like the best pitcher in baseball right now.

1124
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: He just struck out twelve guys in a twenty eight

1125
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: swings and misses in the game, of course, literally unthinkable.

1126
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: But this Nationals team right now has been playing better

1127
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: than the Braves. They're they're a pesky ball club. They

1128
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: have They have kind of the reverse that we're talking

1129
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: about with the Mets right now, where they have a

1130
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of exciting, high end players, but they don't have

1131
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: the kind of depth one through twenty six that we're

1132
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: talking about. How you're able to actually stack these wins up.

1133
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: In the Major League Baseball season that started entirely at

1134
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: the top, there might not be more exciting playing baseball

1135
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: right now. And I say that honestly and wholeheardly than

1136
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: James would. He is a freak, a freak to the

1137
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: highest degree, an absolute madman, a lunatic. He he has

1138
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: some of the best power in baseball. He doesn't pull

1139
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: the ball ever, like that's that's what he's doing right now,

1140
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: and it's it's truthfully unthinkable how good he is at

1141
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: the moment. Yeah, no, he's only twenty two years someone

1142
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: I was unbelievably high on in the draft. Again I

1143
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: mentioned all the time, couldn't believe he fell as far

1144
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: as he did to the San Diego Padres. A dude

1145
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: went in the like back end of the second round,

1146
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: which is insane because it's like, oh, if you watch

1147
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: this guy play baseball, he's an absolute freak out in

1148
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: the outfield, he's a mess, but he hits like he does.

1149
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 2: No one really cares whatsoever, ceg Abrams. We are not

1150
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: going to see I believe because he is currently on

1151
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 2: the il breaking news.

1152
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: James Wood just hit a one hundred sixteen mile now

1153
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: four hundred thirty one foot home run in the first

1154
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: hitting against Tomoyuki Sugano, a pullet. He this is gonna

1155
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: be his break? Did you pull it? Big Break News

1156
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: the Messed Up Podcast? He pulled it? Wow? There it

1157
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: is four hundred terrible news to hear coming into the

1158
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: Mets series. He's unbelievably good. Like he hits like a

1159
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: four hundred thirty foot home run every single week, Like

1160
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: the guy is. It's outrageous.

1161
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 2: He's a guy who I did a video talking about

1162
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 2: like or TikTok, like top ten players in five years

1163
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 2: from I'm like, James, what's gonna be a top five

1164
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,479
Speaker 2: player in the league?

1165
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: Like, he's just that top five player next year.

1166
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 2: All other things to talk about offensively. Dylan Cruz, former

1167
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 2: number two overall pick, has been struggling quite a bit.

1168
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: Had a good series out in Cores. Yeah, heating up

1169
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 2: over the last week, but uh, definitely a little bit

1170
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: streaky right now. Everybody's favorite Met Killer, Paul de Young

1171
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 2: is on this roster. Oh no, he's heard, Oh he's heard?

1172
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 5: Is that wow?

1173
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 6: Oh?

1174
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: Because he got hit in the face, Say right, Another Mets,

1175
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: Another Mets killer, Josh Bell that has also been really

1176
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: struggling this year. He just had the home run against

1177
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: the Oils as well. Keeping Louis has been great Yeah,

1178
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: Daniel has been great, Mark your favorite catcher. Keeper Ruiz

1179
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: has been awesome this year, which it's.

1180
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: Taken him a while because he's been one of the

1181
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 2: worst catchers in baseball up until this season, but he's

1182
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 2: playing really well.

1183
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1184
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: They always they always loved him like they always like

1185
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: really spoke highly of him. Internally. They've talked about how

1186
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: well he's handled that pitching staff, And I want to

1187
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: talk about that for a second because I think that

1188
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: it's it's worth giving the Nationals a lot of credit

1189
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: for what they've been able to do with this with

1190
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: this rag tag pitching staff of nonsense the year too. Yeah, well,

1191
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: so back washing, that's cool name thinking about that. I

1192
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: think it hot. The TVA seems like it's going to

1193
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: be Brad Lord. He's the guy whose schedules in the

1194
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: rotation right now. I don't know who's going to take

1195
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: that spot before them. But this Nationals team has done

1196
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: an amazing job. But it looked like they were totally

1197
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: dead in the water a few years ago, had no

1198
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: talent up and down the organization and just traded one

1199
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: so though for a bunch of prospects. Now a couple

1200
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: of them have hit, but Gore seems to finally be

1201
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: taking a massive step forwards. Always seemed like he was close.

1202
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: Just takes pictures while twenty six year old pitchers' still

1203
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: kind of young, yeah, but just what they're getting right

1204
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: now out of guys like Jake Irvin, Mitchell Parker, DJ

1205
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: Hurrs last year, he's on the IL right now. Michael

1206
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: Soroka really flashed before he got hurt this year. Kiko

1207
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: Vai's a guy who will be back this year and

1208
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: be pretty exciting. He's the most pettigrab those guys, but

1209
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: specifically the two guys are going to see in the

1210
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: series Jake Irving and Mitchell Parker as two dudes who

1211
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: like don't really flash a lot to the naked eye,

1212
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: but especially Parker as a massive lefty. He's got a

1213
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: splitter in a curveball. The command is kind of iffy,

1214
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: like he's he's still againing only twenty five years old.

1215
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: He's still probably two years away from the best version

1216
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: of himself, but looks like like a full blow major

1217
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: league pitcher was a draft pick, a fifth round pick

1218
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: by the Nationals back in twenty twenty. Like developed himselves,

1219
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: Jake Irvins, who just looks like a flying regular, a

1220
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: good back end starter for a very long period of time.

1221
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: The other guy with a really good curveball, big righty.

1222
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: He strikes out a lot of guys too. He's had

1223
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: some great performances against the Mets. Jake Gervin Again, Like,

1224
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: these two guys don't really seem exciting or special, but

1225
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: this is the kind of things that your organization can convert.

1226
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: Pictures like this back end middle rotation type guys that

1227
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: you drafted, you developed yourself. So shout out to them

1228
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: for doing that, because it look like this rotation was

1229
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: going to be down in a bad way a couple

1230
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: of years ago.

1231
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they've They've done a really good job so

1232
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: far with the rebuild. That being said, if we get

1233
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: the stars out of this game, it's open season. The

1234
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: bullpen has been putridly bad. Like Colin Posche is getting shelled,

1235
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: Your boy Lucas Sims is getting shelled. Eduardo Salazar stinks.

1236
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 2: Jose Ferrare still throws a hundred, but he's been getting shelled.

1237
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: Jose for has been It has been a good bit

1238
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: bad ball, bad bad luck on the battle really, and

1239
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: he's still throwing. He's just drowing gas not stopp Lopez

1240
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: should be there, right, He's there. We're gonna see Hoory

1241
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: Lopez this series. Guys. He's definitely gonna do something weird. Yeah.

1242
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Finningan's still been pitching well, but clearly like the

1243
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: Nationals like non tangent him, then resigned him in the

1244
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: middle of Mark so clearly shows how much they respect him.

1245
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: But it's just this is a again. This is a

1246
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: scrappy team, just like all the Nationals seems are scrappy

1247
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: and fun team. But they're not that winner by any means. Yeah,

1248
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,479
Speaker 1: not push over, but when you get down to nitty

1249
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: gritty with them, you should be able to beat them. Also,

1250
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: Amedrasario has been playing pretty regularly for the team. We

1251
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: will see Amedrasari this year. Last one I'll talk about too.

1252
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 2: Alex Call has just like a really really funny baseball

1253
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 2: savant page right now.

1254
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are hip to Alex Call.

1255
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know what the spelling if a guy

1256
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 2: like him will be, but his Baseball Savant page is

1257
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 2: hilarious because right now he is walking at an eighteen

1258
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 2: percent rate, striking out seven percent of the time. He's

1259
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 2: whiffing eight percent of the time and chasing fourteen percent

1260
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 2: of the time. So he doesn't swing and miss, he

1261
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 2: doesn't chase, he walks, doesn't hit the ball hard. But

1262
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: like that's like a crazy, like weird mix of just

1263
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 2: incredible played discipline at like one of the most elite

1264
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 2: levels right now in the game.

1265
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: I also remember last year he definitely had a big

1266
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: hit against US, and I shouted about because I always

1267
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: like guys like Alex called in like the very deep,

1268
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: like the fifteen team fantasy league, because like he's going

1269
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: to play, and now he's been playing, not every day,

1270
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: but like sneaking a couple more starts in there for

1271
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: Dylan Cruz as he's been struggling because gets on bass,

1272
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: scores runs, really helps you thosegories in a national fan

1273
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: definitely hate watches this show. I was like, that's right, James,

1274
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: you gotta I'll call your deep league. Will he just

1275
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: fucked the Mets. I'm like, I hope that guy helps

1276
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: my DMS again, because that was that was a funny

1277
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: one that made me laugh time.

1278
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: Can you guess what midwestern college Alex call went to

1279
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 2: unless you know it. It was a big ten, No,

1280
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: not big ten, but a little maction. Miami Ohio ball

Speaker 2: A sweep of the Phillies again. Unbelievable. The vibes were incredible.

1288
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: The subway was an absolute mess on the way home.

1289
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 2: I don't understand how we still haven't figured out the

1290
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: subways at City Field. What a shit show that was.

1291
