15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: not off to a hot start. This has bad vibes,

16
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: bad feelings. It is really really hard to be positive

17
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: about the New York Mets right now after the absolutely

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: embarrassing series against what is a shell of their former team,

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs. I like, we normally have our little

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: intro here. I like to be a little happy, I

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: like to get a little excited. I mean, James is

22
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: a new place where is James. That's a little game

23
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: we always play on the podcast see Somewhere Else Today.

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: But it's just really hard not to start it off

25
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: and be honestly pissed off, like it's it's really really

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: bad baseball and I just don't feel great today.

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, anger, frustration, annoyance, I don't know, I'm just pissed off.

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: I can't even think of good enough words right now

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: because my brain just isn't functional because I just all

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: the bad baseball I just watched over the last three

31
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: days have killed me.

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is gonna be a little bit of

33
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: a different episode for you guys. It's not gonna be

34
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: our cheery, happy Sells because it's just after what we

35
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: just watched. It's really really hard to honestly find any

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: positives because there was very few to pick from.

37
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: The only positive the Mets can take from this is

38
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: that they have a game tomorrow that the best pissed

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: pitcher in baseball's pitching. Because there's nothing I can take

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: from from from these from these last three days, what

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: an absolute unmitigated disaster the Mets series in Chicago's been.

42
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: And they even flash the stats to night at the

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: end of the game. The Mets are like fifteen and

44
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: thirty eight, fifteen and forty something ridiculous like that in

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: Wrigley Field for the last eighteen years historically bad. Those

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: are some fucking bad Cups teams. Why can't have the

47
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: Mets beat the Cubs and Wrigley?

48
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Basically the only time we beat the Cubs in Wrigley

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: was during the NLCS.

50
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty team playoffs, worth it, worth it.

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Worth it, But also like I would love to win

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: a game against the weekend anemic Chicago Cubs because this

53
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: team is a terrible team now before we because we're

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: gonna rant. There's gonna be rants. Let me do our

55
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: little spiel here. Where to find us? Instagram? Twitter?

56
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: You haven't even told them where the finds is yet.

57
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: I know.

58
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: It's in and we haven't even said what our Instagram

59
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: and Twitter is. Mets Up. We're doing a good job

Speaker 1: watch us on YouTube. It might be a good watch today, you.

63
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: Mighty good watch that. My hair is a little bit

64
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: more ridiculous than usual because I've been freaking out and

65
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: just going like this all day.

66
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, drinks have been had, stress has been I poured

67
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: myself a little cup here, a little little rum and

68
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: coke because solo, it's about the only thing that can

69
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: get me through watching this Mets game. It is bad.

70
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: We have a ton of notes and a ton to

71
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: talk about. This is more than we've ever filled up

72
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: the Google doc. And honestly, it's because of how bad

73
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: it's been. It's not for good reasons.

74
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: No, it's bad stuff. Usually we have a couple of

75
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: fun stats in there, a couple of positives, things to

76
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: look forward to, things we know. This this is just

77
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: us being plainly upset. This was not This is not

78
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: a beer and wine series. This was a brown liquor series.

79
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: This I literally poured myself some dark spiced rum because

80
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: it's I'm feeling dark and gloomy today. Where it is

81
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: not a podcast.

82
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: Fuck that, Let's jump right into the game. We just

83
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: watched Game three of the series, the Mets facing a

84
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: sweep come out with Joey Lukezi on the mound, and

85
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: at this point everyone should be aware across baseball because

86
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: it's been years now, Joey Lukese is simply whatever. There's

87
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: no word to use describe joe Lukazy. Then whatever, He's

88
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: never gonna be better than you think he might be. Okay,

89
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: he'll throw you some innings, he'll compete, but the guy

90
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: is just fucking whatever. He's just simply whatever. He has

91
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: no good pitches, two okay pitches, doesn't even have a

92
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: third bad pitch they could mix in. He wins with deception,

93
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: so after one time through the lineup, you have to

94
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: take him out. And it's just like, I know today

95
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: doesn't the outcome this game had little to do with him,

96
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: But I just it's hard to get up for a

97
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: game that Joey Lucazy is starting.

98
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gave us an opportunity to win today, and

99
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: maybe that's about No, Yeah, one of two positives.

100
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: From the game, super duper whatever.

101
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: But your point of yeah, Like, I mean, I giggled

102
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: a little bit when you're like, he's just he pitches

103
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: and that's about it. Like that is Joey Lukazy and

104
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: I think we both talked about during the game. We

105
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: were texting each other like he's the perfect opener because

106
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: one time through the lineup he can be completely fine, great.

107
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: Every single time that he gets to the second part

108
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: of that or second time around the lineup they start

109
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: to figure him out, because it's just hard to be

110
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: successful in this league when you throw ninety two straight

111
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: and your second pitch is like the curb, which, let's

112
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: be honest, like a little bit of a gimmick. Again,

113
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: deception is his big thing. If he gets in a

114
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: slice bit of trouble, he's pretty predictable, and that happened

115
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: a little bit early in the game. Still not his

116
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: fault why we lost this stuff. Definitely got to give

117
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: some credit to Sean Reid Foley making his first ever

118
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: mets of years, and he really stepped up for this team,

119
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: gave us three innings in relief and looked fine, He's

120
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Reed Foley was an absolute godza in

121
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: this game. I was sitting here vexed as to who

122
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: was gonna follow Lucayzy in this game. It didn't seem

123
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: like there was much of a plan. Then of course

124
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Reid Foley got called up today, so that was definitely

125
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: their plan that I was just too stupid to see.

126
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: That's bad to happen, but thank god he was actually

127
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: able to settle in and give us three legitimately good.

128
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: Innings after Lucazy. I don't think there's much of a

129
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: difference between these three guys like Stuff. I wouldn't say

130
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: either of them is good or bad. If you would

131
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 2: have swapped them. I'm sure read Folly we have gone

132
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: to trouble early, then Lucazy would have came in firemanned

133
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: it late. But average stuff just thank god, he got

134
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: through three clean innings that actually gave us a chance

135
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: to give us a chance to win this game.

136
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: And the thing I really liked about Reid Folly two

137
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and is that he just came out throwing strikes. He

138
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: came out attacking batters. And when you're a team that's

139
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: already down early in the game, you can't afford to

140
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: just be putting more guys on for free when you're

141
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: down by a bunch of runs, because you're just gonna

142
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: give up a couple runs. That's how it is. You

143
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: have to start playing defense a little mo aggress. So

144
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: he did find he kept us close, which helped a

145
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: little bit.

146
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: We got some run let's say, I'd say it helped

147
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: a lot. I think that if it would have been like,

148
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: you know, another Hildenberger explosion to come in the middle

149
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: innings to try and save us for two or three,

150
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: two or three frames, we would have been out of

151
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: this game again, read Foley. I would even go as

152
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: far to call him the MVP of the game, as

153
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: crazy as that is to say, even though this game

154
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: doesn't warrant one.

155
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the guy who gave us three innings and didn't

156
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: let up any runs and allowed for you know, us

157
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: to chip back a little bit. We got the Pete

158
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Alonzo Homer. And that's something that we put in the notes,

159
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: is that he's really starting to heat up. We're seeing it.

160
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: I think they even mentioned it. Only struck out twice

161
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: I think in the series, which is really big because

162
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: last episode we mentioned it. His strikeout rate has been

163
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: through the roof higher than it's really ever been. So

164
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: it's good to see that that's evening out and the

165
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: power numbers starting to come back. He hit two mammoth

166
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: home runs this series, including tonight.

167
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and dude, you know what's funny. The hardest hit

168
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: ball that he had this series was the ground out today,

169
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: and I think it was the fifth or sixth inning.

170
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: It was one seventeen off the bat hard the hearts

171
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: Baldy hit here.

172
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: He's looking better. And I think, also, did you text

173
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: me this or I see it or maybe in the notes,

174
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: but I think Pete Alonzo is the highest DRS among

175
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: Mets fielders, right yeah, which is outrageous. But and then

176
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: like he so he hit that big home run. We

177
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: had a little bit of an inning where we got

178
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: to Trevor Williams, which, by the way, like you have

179
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: to get to Trevor, you have to get to Trevor Williams.

180
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: He's just not a good picture, dude, Williams. Williams led

181
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: this game in whiffs. Trevor Williams should never ever be

182
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: the sole proprietor of for the most swinging misses in

183
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: any type of baseball game, almost at any level. It's ridiculous.

184
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: He had fourteen swings and misses for him, that's like

185
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: godly the mes. METSA bats were atrocious. And I mean

186
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: we saw Canford oh get one off the wall, off

187
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: the fence, the top of the friggin bucket or basket

188
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: whatever that. I mean, since when is the yellow line

189
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 2: now the home run is that?

190
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: Since? What can you even hit that thing? I hate

191
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: that it hangs out over the field.

192
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: They got hit, It got hit multiple times today, like

193
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: at least twice.

194
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, JD hit it again late in the game, Dom

195
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: hit it. I think Brian might have hit it too, Brian.

196
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean there was just balls being peppered off the

197
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: left field like or left center gap. We got a

198
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: little bit on him, but then we let the we

199
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: let off the breaks. And I know Rojas is trying

200
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: to do something a little different today, trying to mix

201
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: it up. But having VR and Polar in the lineup

202
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: next to each other is two automatic outs. And when

203
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: you only have a certain amount of innings played in

204
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: a baseball game, you can't be giving away basically two

205
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: thirds of an inning every single time those guys come up.

206
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say those guys are automatic outs. They both

207
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: put the bat on the ball. I mean VR has

208
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: put the bat on the ball recently. Today he took

209
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: some pretty dog shit at bat. But that's just Dasid

210
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: Jonathan VR experience. That's what you signed up for.

211
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that comes back to the whole thing

212
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: of like he's a great pin hitter because you have

213
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: to let him get up there and kind of be

214
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: like a chicken without his head, like just go up

215
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: there and just start hacking away. I like that idea,

216
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: but when he like has to like kind of be

217
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: a real baseball player. He he even had a two

218
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: oh swing today on a slider that was like low

219
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: in the dirt, and I was like, dude, yeah, you're

220
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat.

221
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 2: He also Pete Polar there wasn't that bat he had

222
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: with a man on or two men on late in

223
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 2: the game. I forgot exactly what situation was, and he

224
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: had to line out or the hard ground ball second

225
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: short first somewhere in the infield, and he'd like was

226
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: crashing his bat on the on the holder. Like there's

227
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: some real frustration coming over this team right now.

228
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: They're playing frustrating baseball. It's frushuring to watch. I can

229
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: only imagine how frustrating it is for them. Like they

230
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: obviously don't want to play this way. They're obviously trying

231
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: to get hits. And I think this kind of leads

232
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: into the whole problem right now the Mets are having

233
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: is they are playing so incredibly tight, They're playing so

234
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: like they had they put so much pressure on themselves.

235
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: When you think about like the twenty nineteen Mets when

236
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: they made the run at the end of the year,

237
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: even though we didn't make the playoffs. That was a

238
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: team that was playing loose. They were playing as the underdogs.

239
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: They're playing like as a team. It was just a

240
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: very good vibes And right now, I know it's because

241
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: we're not playing good baseball. It's hard to be, you know,

242
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: loud and smiling and stuff when you're playing like absolute

243
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: dog shit. But at the same time, that's what the

244
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: Mets need to do. This team needs to loosen up

245
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: a little bit because they're going up to the plate.

246
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: And you even saw it in the last ending of

247
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: the game. I know I'm jumping around a little bit,

248
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: but the bats against Dan Winkler were tious.

249
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he.

250
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: Threw maybe what five actual strikes that ending maybe.

251
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: Dude, it was terrible. He came in, like, to use

252
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: the phrase you just used, he came into that inning

253
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: like a chicken without his head. The first two base

254
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 2: balls weren't even remotely close to the strikes, and the

255
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: Mets had a man on third with nobody else after

256
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: his first pitch wild pitch of the inning, and McNeil

257
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: still chased a high fastball to Oh it was border line,

258
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: I guess, and McNeil's generally an aggressive hither, but that

259
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 2: was just not that was not good pitch selection.

260
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: No, And you text me, You're like, he's got to

261
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: take there. And I originally said, like, I'm okay with

262
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: it because it hasn't been working. But then you watch

263
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the inning and you do think about

264
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: how Dan Winkler started it off. You got you gotta,

265
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: you gotta take there because Dan Winkler strike didn't have

266
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: it for what four batters? You walked, the bases loaded,

267
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: and then Dom Smith hit into a ground ball double play, which,

268
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: for the love of God, can we hit the ball

269
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: in the fucking air one time?

270
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: And these he put the hit that ball in the

271
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: nose just right. Fucking Adam God.

272
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: The amount of like ground balls that we're seeing, like

273
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: our heart outs are ground balls or line drives right

274
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: to people. I don't know how we haven't found a

275
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: gap in what feels like forever, but we're just hitting

276
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: the ball really hard at people and it's getting us

277
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: out and we can continue not to hit with runners

278
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: in scoring position, like, oh my god, it's just it's

279
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: so I'm not worried, but I am, like I'm worried

280
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: because like, oh my god, is this what the season

281
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: is going to be?

282
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: Like?

283
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: Fourteen games in and it's felt like the longest season

284
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: I've ever experienced as a Mets fan. But also at

285
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: the same time, I know that these guys are good.

286
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Don Smith's a good player. Canforido is good. McNeil's good,

287
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor is good. All the guys we have are

288
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: good players. They're just collectively, somehow all playing like crap

289
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: At the exact same time.

290
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: I think that it's also in everyone's head now we've

291
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: kind of been using this rhetoric for a few weeks,

292
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: that these guys are pretty aware of what's going on.

293
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: This team has had a lot of publicity in the offseason.

294
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: It's a lot of pressure on them. There's a lot

295
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: of money was spent, it's a lot The Mets contingency

296
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: on Twitter is one of the strongest of any sports

297
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: team that exists in the world. And there's just a

298
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: lot of talking, talking, talking all day about this team

299
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: as it happens to your team in New York. Because

300
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: a lot of eyes on you, you're in the spotlight.

301
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: They've put I almost like a target on their backs

302
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: now after the way they have spoken about theirselves over

303
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: the course of this early season, and it seems like

304
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: teams really like playing, like just really want to beat them.

305
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: The Cubs. The Cubs acted like they won the World

306
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: Series after the series, like the team that you could

307
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: tell they I've been struggling.

308
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: They were talking shit, they were they looked like they

309
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: were having fun, which like I would love to see

310
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: the Mets have a little bit of fun. This is

311
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: the team I'm supposed to have.

312
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: This big Cubs haven't had fun in years. They should

313
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: have looked tight every day. They're a horrendous team.

314
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: But they absolutely embarrassed the Mets, and today was just

315
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: a further point of it. I mean, it's just like

316
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: at any point in the game you could find something

317
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: that went wrong. Polar and Confordo not catching that fly

318
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: ball in the outfield.

319
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: I that was ridiculous.

320
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Plarier, the centerfielder, you got to call him off.

321
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: You have to call him off. That is your ball.

322
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: The fact that ball wasn't caught by anybody is embarrassing.

323
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: And that play still worked out because ball don't lie.

324
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: We got to double play the next pitch. But that's

325
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: just that's that's day. One stuff that's fundamental shit right there,

326
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: Like I just catch a fly ball, like you're the centerfielder,

327
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: take charge.

328
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: And Polar's out there because he is a defensive guy.

329
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: If he's gonna be our defensive replacement centerfielder, I have

330
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: to see him make the plays that he's supposed to be.

331
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: That's one of those plays that he didn't. And I

332
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: know he's not the same center fielder that he once was.

333
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: That's something me and you both said, and that's why

334
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: we're like he's great as our fourth or fifth guy,

335
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: not as a starter. Today it showed why he's not

336
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: the same Kevin Pollard that he once was in Toronto,

337
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: because that ball just simply has to be called.

338
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Nimo apparently has a stiff hip, so i'd

339
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: be keeping him out a few games here, and it's

340
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: been cold, so that's even worse for stiff muscles, especially

341
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: for playing defense, which I guess is why he was

342
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: the first guy off the bench. Where we're fourteen games

343
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: into the season, Polar has had twenty four played appearances

344
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: and he has looked pretty bad than most of them,

345
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: really bad.

346
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I put it. I saw your little reply to what

347
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: I put in the notes but I just go He's

348
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: a defensive replacement, that's it. And even then he looked

349
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: like shit today out there. I've had enough of him.

350
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: And it's true, like I don't want to cross people

351
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: off my list right now because it is way too

352
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: early to overreact, but I'm sorry, I need to overreact

353
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's been a stressful week of watching

354
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: Mets baseball. I need to just vent. I know, in

355
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks it's gonna be fine and I'm

356
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna probably have something positive to say about Kevin Pilar,

357
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: But right now, there's not much positive to talk about

358
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: with him, especially because of how much he is getting

359
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: to play.

360
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: I know, and he like, you want to keep guys fresh.

361
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: The more endings you're on the field, the more likely

362
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: this you're being injured. So if you have a good

363
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: backup and you can put him in there, you're mitigating

364
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: some risk. But I don't know, he just can't. The

365
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: guy's just not hitting. He's not hitting in the frustration,

366
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: as I said before, is boiling over for a guy

367
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: like that. He's working on a one year deal. He's

368
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: been bouncing around the league for a few years. Backs

369
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: against the Wall and the worst part of the bad,

370
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: The worst fucking part of the bad is we looked

371
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: across the field and Jake got damn morisnik was getting hits.

372
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

373
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: Don't you get me started on putting in Loop in

374
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: the eighth inning? Would you end up again working?

375
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: No? I was. I think I think we've talked a

376
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: lot about the bass. We should transfer a little bit

377
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: to pitching and decision making right now, because throwing Loop

378
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: in the eighth inning was absolutely a nonsensical move by

379
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: Luis Rojas Mets management. Whoever made that freaking call that

380
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: is dumb, dumb as fuck. The only left he was here.

381
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: I don't think there even was the left to do

382
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: up that inning because Risk's a right handed that the.

383
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Only positive outcome they had was that Ian Hap against

384
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: left handed pitching does worse. He's like a seven to

385
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: fifty ops guy, where he's like normally like eight to

386
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: fifty against righty's nine hundred ish. But in the same regards,

387
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Loop. If we have our best, if we

388
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: have a Miguel Castro or Edwin Diaz going up against

389
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: uh or even Trevor Man going up against Ian Happ,

390
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: I still like my odds. I still like my odds

391
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot.

392
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: Thank God that Castro was able to pitch and be

393
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: effective after he was used yesterday when fourteen runs were

394
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: already on the board. But I guess we'll touch on

395
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: that and we get more of the game too. But

396
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: even though the result was good, the process was bad.

397
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: Bringing Loop in that eight inning it was bad. It

398
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: was bad, and even like bringing May in for an

399
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: inning where I think that was when Ave was leading off,

400
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: but there was more of the botom of the order

401
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: and bringing Loop in for an inning when you're expecting

402
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: to face a pinch hither so hand selected bad, who's

403
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: gonna get a match good matchup? And then the top

404
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: of the Cub's order like, oh should be probably flip flopped,

405
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: got lucky, pull it off, but whatever.

406
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: I almost feel like they went to Loop so that

407
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: Jason Hayward wouldn't come into pitch. But who in their

408
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: right mind is ever feared Jason Hayward. Granted he got

409
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: the walk off today, but.

410
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Mets, the Mets, it had an intentional

411
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: walk to put hit to give him in that bat

412
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: to get the walk off. Clearly this we don't fear

413
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: Jason Hayward. If we if we walked Eric so Guard

414
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: to face it, that is so Guard.

415
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Imagine going back to like twenty ten and being like

416
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: the Mets are gonna in a couple years, walk Eric

417
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: Sogar to face Jason Hayward with a righty on the mound,

418
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: like give him every advantage possible, and we still want

419
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: to face him. Which brings us now to I guess

420
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz too, like he was still fine. I don't

421
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: blame him at all. He hit the guy in the tenth.

422
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: We've said this about Diaz before. He is not good

423
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: coming out for a second inning, especially when he sits

424
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: down and whatever the numbers are, they're not great.

425
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: Dude. The second you get through the top of the

426
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: tenth and you don't score a run, that game is

427
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: over you. You you need to have a herculean effort

428
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: to find a way to win that game, especially with

429
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: how juiced up the Cubs came off the field there,

430
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: and then you hit the first batther and obviously with

431
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: the man on second, nobody asks that guy in first

432
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: means next to nothing. I honestly, even though he hit him,

433
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: I probably have just intentionally walked him just to put

434
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: more forces on the bases, because again it means fucking nothing.

435
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: But by the way, the Cubs were team bunting. Did

436
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: you notice that. I did see that. They bunted the

437
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: guy over the third and fucking worked. Thank god Pete

438
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: h hit because he would have wheeled into eals and

439
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: through the third base and he would not have gotten

440
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: Hobby by it.

441
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: Almost at first too, because he was still slipping somehow.

442
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: He's the slipperiest man in the world. And I think

443
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: even that play has been like a little bit of

444
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: a microcosm. Look at that word sat word of the day.

445
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: And night.

446
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: I know I threw that out there, but like for

447
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: the Mets season, because even that play, he was trying

448
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: to do too much. Just get the out, move on.

449
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: It is what it is. That's what the entire Mets

450
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: team was doing. And that's what it felt like in

451
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: the last inning towards the end of the game. Everyone's pressing,

452
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to do too much. Like you said, they

453
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: put the target on their own backs, and it seems

454
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: like it's really really gotten to them and they're just

455
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: not playing the baseball that they usually are. Like Lindor

456
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: in that last inning, the bat was horrendous. Even though

457
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: he walked. It was a horrible at bat. He's horrible.

458
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: Two balls on six pitches or whatever.

459
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so bad.

460
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: Mcdial didn't have a good at bat. Yeah, even like

461
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: Dom's at bat, Like he missed a couple like just

462
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: he missed a couple pitches, and he still.

463
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 2: Hit the ball on the screws. It didn't have the

464
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: right outcome, but he put the barrel in the baseball just.

465
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: On the ground, which we have to try to avoid

466
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: as much as physically possible. Game three, I think that's enough.

467
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: I've had enough of Game three. It left a terrible

468
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: taste in my mouth. The Mets stunk. Uh you put

469
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: Mets sucks shit, It's pretty obvious. It's kind of how

470
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: it felt. Which then, honestly, let's just talk about Game two,

471
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: because this is a game that.

472
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 2: Just get out of the way.

473
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: Just get out of the way. Because I turned it

474
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: off on the fourth inning, because we saw JD. Davis's

475
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: defense continue to look pretty horrendous awful, and that's why

476
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: he didn't start today, even though he had, you know,

477
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: a decent game for us offensively.

478
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 2: But and he got a pinch hit and he put

479
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: hit the ball and the screws again. How what? What

480
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: kind of fucking curses this that JD. Davis can't stop

481
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: hitting and he can't he can't throw the ball at

482
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: his base.

483
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: No, And it was it was shown in game two.

484
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: It was showing in game two, specifically because he made

485
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: some gay airs in game one, or made one or

486
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: two I think two maybe, and he made a couple

487
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: more in Game two, and it just it it snowballed

488
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Because the game was relatively

489
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: close to start. It was okay, we're doing good.

490
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: Until the blow up afterwards, like seven innings, seven runs

491
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning. But even after the seven runs,

492
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 2: we were still in the game, like the Mets were

493
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: still competitive there. That next hitning and then Pete hit

494
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: the home run.

495
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: Hit the mammoth home run that went like five hundred feet.

496
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: We were right freaking there. And then it's the Taylor

497
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: Hildenberger show.

498
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he as good as he looked in the start

499
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: against the Rockies, he looked about as bad as he

500
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: possibly could have against the Cubs. And I think that's

501
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: why he got sent down, right.

502
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: For he mostly got sent down just because he threw

503
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: so many pitches yesterday that he wasn't gonna be used

504
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: for three days anyway, he has options. Get the new

505
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 2: guy up, got fully up there eight some innings. You're

506
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 2: gonna see that this bullpen starts to really churn now

507
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: that the Mets are actually playing most days of the

508
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: week instead of having three rainouts. So there's gonna be

509
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: a lot of fake new names and new faces coming

510
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: to this team basically on a weekly basis. So it's

511
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: gonna be allowed to keep track up. We're happy to

512
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: help you do it here.

513
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lindor hit his first home run as a Met.

514
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: But how much that could gloss over? Excited about that?

515
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: For like a half hour.

516
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: I turned on the game literally like five minutes late,

517
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: and I go, I missed his first home runn are

518
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: you kidding me? I turned on and I go, this

519
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: is what I get to watch the rest of the day.

520
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: I thought this was like this the sign of like

521
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: here it is. We've been looking for it. We thought

522
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: that it was gonna be the Philly Series. Then the

523
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: Rocky Series came and go, we snuck two out of three.

524
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it's gonna be that. Then you go and you

525
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: get swept by the Cubs. And you go, oh, no,

526
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: we have not found it yet. Peterson.

527
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Peters is just a piece what he is. Some

528
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: time it's gonna work, sometimes it's not. He's a young pitcher.

529
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: He doesn't get a ton of whiffs, he doesn't get

530
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: a ton of strikeouts, he doesn't throw especially hard. The

531
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: stuff is okay. Sometimes it'll be good, sometimes it'll be bad.

532
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: This year he's had two of each.

533
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts on Rojas playing JD at third on

534
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: a Peterson start?

535
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: Awful, really terrible decision. I can't even begin to imagine

536
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: why he would ever think of doing that. Dude. Same

537
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 2: with a Taiwan Walker start Taiwan walker. We'll get got

538
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: some notes in Taiwan for Game one, but Taiwan mostly

539
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: this season has been sinker, slytherer and he's been trying

540
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 2: to get ground balls, and it's just I can't I

541
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: can't understand why it's hard to play a guy on

542
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: your team when he's such a one dimensional player, like

543
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 2: you're not gonna do it, like this week the Rocky

544
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: the Astros went to Colorado and you're done. Alvarez is

545
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: on the bench, like JD. Daves is not the bat

546
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: that you're don alvarezz. There's no way that you can

547
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: allow him to play the field on a regular basis.

548
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 2: You just can't, dude.

549
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Nelson Cruz doesn't touch the field when the Twins play

550
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: in the National League, and Nelson Cruz is unbelievable at

551
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: the plate, even better than your.

552
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 2: On Now, Nelson cru is also an ARP member. So

553
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: it's or we're not. This is this is different. J

554
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: D's in the prime of his life. Nelson Cruz is

555
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: and he's collecting Social Security along with the game.

556
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: You play the same amount of quality outfields to Jay,

557
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: I almost.

558
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: Think that JD. Daves this point be better than the

559
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: outfield in a third base, at least the alphat he

560
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 2: can do less damage.

561
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: I've been thinking of that, But then you lose where

562
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: you can put dom.

563
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: At their base. I don't know.

564
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't.

565
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: I don't freaking know, man, it's the I just I

566
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: can't turn on the game see JD. Davis playing third

567
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: maybe during the grom starts, because no one touches the

568
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: ball anyway, But maybe one day when Cindergar comes back.

569
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: Carrasco too, But he just David Peterson needs everything to

570
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: be perfect. Jay David Peterson starts like most of them

571
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: are gonna be like lottery tickets, like they're just every

572
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: ball and plays a scratch off. You don't know where

573
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna go, you know how hard it's gonna be hit.

574
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 2: But they're all gonna be in play. So we gotta

575
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: make every single play we can. And when you don't

576
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: make them, you give him nothing to stand on.

577
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he needs, he needs, and it's not like anything

578
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: against him. It's just he is a pitch to contact guy.

579
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: Peterson is a fine back of the rotation guy. He's

580
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: gonna eat innings, he's gonna have his days, and sometimes

581
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: he's not gonna have his days. He doesn't have his days.

582
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 2: The defense needs to be there because you need to

583
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: do everything possible you can to keep this attainable.

584
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: I literally, after the fourth inning, after the debacle, I

585
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: turned it off because I said, all right, it's about

586
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: nine o'clock. My night's not like over. I have things

587
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: I could do I could. I watched Sasquatch on Hulu.

588
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: I moved my car I had, I went to the

589
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: grocery store. Grocery store, I went to the bodega, picked

590
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: up some snacks. I had a productive night. I put

591
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: it off to the side and I said, this game's

592
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: over with. It was an embarrassing performance. The team had

593
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: no juice, no life.

594
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: No juice, no life, lazy.

595
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: Got embarrassed by a terrible Cubs team. They were laughing,

596
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: they were having fun, Like that's the kind of thing

597
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: that I would have loved. And this is where I

598
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: think the Mets are really lacking that asshole dude. They're

599
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: lacking that just complete dick who's like, we're not fucking

600
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: doing this. Someone's gotta throw something, someone's gotta break something.

601
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. This team's just dead and I know

602
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: they're happy, go lucky guys, but where's the asshole? I

603
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: need someone to be pissed. It feels like nobody's pissed.

604
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: But I don't. I don't think that it's that good

605
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 2: to be showing enough, showing any negative emotion in April.

606
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: I really don't. It seems still like they're only they're

607
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: only five hundred, we've played fourteen games, like this is

608
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: the equivalent of what like a game of an NFL season.

609
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

610
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not even a tenth of the way

611
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: through the season. It's fourteen games, we're one sixty two,

612
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: still not a tenth of the way, but like, it's

613
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: just it's hard not to get we're not overreacting. We are,

614
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: but we're not overreacting because.

615
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 2: As if we're in the this is if we're in

616
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: the middle of the second quard there of our second

617
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: NFL game, that's how allion season is. If the Jets

618
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: were on one and then so then someone came to

619
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: the sidelines and broke a chair in the middle of

620
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: the second cord there, I wouldn't.

621
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: I would be like, that's too much.

622
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: But you have to tone it back a little bit.

623
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: Listen how many times you can't compare the Mets to

624
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: the Jets, though, because the Jets have zero Uh, what's

625
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: the thing I'm looking for? Prediction? Outcomes?

626
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: What uh?

627
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: What's the word?

628
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: What? Meth no?

629
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: I can't even think of the word. I'm so mad. Expectations,

630
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: that's the expectations gives me a real expectation.

631
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: It's giving me a ricochet shot this time of night.

632
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: The Jets after this series, yousten, it's like you know,

633
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: when you're a team that's expecting to do big things,

634
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: these are like the games that you have to win again.

635
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: I talked about with the Rocky Series, like three wins

636
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: would have been big, but it's not the end of

637
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: the world. Losing three here to the Cubs is bad

638
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: because this is a Cubs team that everyone else is

639
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: gonna beat up on, everyone else is gonna beat them

640
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: in the division. You're losing games and they Cubs have

641
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: looked bad, but they are an average team, like they're

642
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: five hundred now. They'll probably end up around seventy eight

643
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: to eighty two wins if I was a bet if

644
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 2: I was a betting man.

645
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: Their pitching is so bad.

646
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: Their pitching isn't there, but their pitching is annoyingly bad,

647
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 2: like we saw in this freaking series where Trevor Williams

648
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: will go out there and just throw these bullshit change

649
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: ups out of the dreg zone and you're just over

650
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: aggresive because you think you're gonna hit a low fastball

651
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: and it just goes like these guys suck, but they're

652
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: like they have something like I don't know, the Cups

653
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: still have smart people running the organization, even though they're owners.

654
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: A cheap rat. I saw a sta not stat advocates

655
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 2: from minor leaguers a good Twitter account to follow. They

656
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: uncover a lot of the nonsense that minor leaguers have

657
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: to deal with on a regular basis. And there are

658
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 2: six teams in baseball that don't provide have not provide

659
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: housing for their minor leaguers. The alternate site the cub

660
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: were one, the Rangers, the Tigers, the Twins, the Reds,

661
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: and the Cleveland baseball team otherwise known as the Indians.

662
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: And I'm this is nonsense. I'm taking shots at the

663
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: Cubs owners generosity right now.

664
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: But pissed about that. We got absolutely rinsed by the Chicago.

665
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: How we got rinsed. We didn't get rinsed, We got waxed.

666
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got waxed. Literally. I think that might be

667
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: the title of the episode. We got what the Mexic

668
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: wax in Cubs.

669
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: Tweeting about Josh Van Neither yesterday because I was so

670
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: pissed off with the Mets kid. But I want to

671
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: close the book on Game two. The last thing I

672
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: want to talk about. Yeah, why the fuck did Miguel

673
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: Castro come in the game yesterday?

674
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: Who the fuck is making the ship up.

675
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: As we go along? Because you make you ear me

676
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 2: through two innings. You can bring him for one non

677
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: two Castro. Castro arguably has been the Mets.

678
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: Best relief for this season, and you.

679
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: Have him pitching in a game when you've already given

680
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: up fourteen runs, you've given up you've given up two touchdowns,

681
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 2: and Miguel Castro is on the fucking mount. Are you

682
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: fucking serious? If he would have blown the game today,

683
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: I would have gotten in my car and driven straight

684
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: back to Queens and just grabbed your hots by the shirt.

685
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: Why did you do that? Why did you do that?

686
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: You may have throw, you may have thrown almost twenty

687
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: pitches in the game.

688
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: It didn't even mather.

689
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like I'm yell, I'm yelling.

690
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: It's just like it comes back though, like the decision making.

691
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: We said this early and we were worried about, like

692
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: we don't understand what the process is right now, and.

693
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: It's only it's only gotten you what the process is.

694
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: It's only gotten more confusing.

695
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 2: Oh like freak. Like I saw a tweets say about like, oh,

696
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: guess god, the lineup is fixed. Why can't we hit?

697
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: I don't fucking know, But the lineup isn't even fixed,

698
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, you can't pullar and be our

699
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: hitting the same day. Let's let's go, Let's talk about

700
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 2: game one a little bit. Let's just wrap to get

701
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 2: through this. Fuck the cold. I hate the cold. Playing

702
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: baseball and the cold should be illegal. Why did the

703
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: Mets go to Denver and Chicago and April?

704
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Are you kidding?

705
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: No?

706
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how.

707
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: That's wh Why did MLB schedule two road series in

708
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: the coldest ballparks? We want you guys to play six

709
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: games in the freezing cold in a row. Also, what

710
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 2: the fuck happened to day games in Wrigley? Why are

711
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: we paying first off? Night games in Wrigley look like

712
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: dog shit. The camera looks terrible. Wrigleyfield is an incredible

713
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: stadium and it should be shown off. But they still

714
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: have the same lights that they had back in nineteen

715
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: oh eight when the Black Cat ran across the field,

716
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: even though that was the sixties.

717
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: But they're still using the same lighting. It looks there's

718
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: dead spots in the outfield. It's just dark. I mean,

719
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: it's crazy that we played night games there.

720
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 2: It may have snowed at some point during the day

721
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 2: in Chicago every day this week, it's not at least

722
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: two of the three days the Mets have been there, Like,

723
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: why is this happened? Why are we playing in the cold.

724
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: You can't play baseball in the cold.

725
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: I understand the Cubs have to play home games at

726
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: some point in April. Like that's just how it works.

727
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: Want to be a part of them.

728
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: Why is it not the fucking Milwaukee Brewers or the

729
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins. Why is it gonna be us? How's the

730
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: weather been in New York the last few days? Oh,

731
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: it's been playable. It's been fifty and I think, like,

732
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: you know, it'sically Oh I lied. The other day I

733
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: played basketball with not the Expert Drew shout Out on

734
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: the podcast follow YouTuber. We played basketball is like sixty

735
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: five seventy degrees out.

736
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: It was beautiful, glorious.

737
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great I went outside. You know,

738
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: it's a nice day if I'm outside.

739
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marco's days without going outside. But let's just I

740
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 2: want to get I got some Taiwan Walker nose, because

741
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 2: I know that's what the people are here for these days.

742
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: Of course they love a good James breakdown of the pictures.

743
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: That guy works so damn hard man on Tuesday night.

744
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: He works so freaking hard. Also, he had a full

745
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: week between his starts due to like the changes in

746
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: the rotation, how they manage the off day. Also, I

747
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: don't like how they as managed the off day. I'll

748
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: say that too right now, even coming off a double

749
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: heather like they could have kept guys going on five

750
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: days rest and to move everyone up a day. Besides,

751
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: not gave Lukeazy this freaking start. But whatever I do,

752
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: whatever I for that, whatever, whatever. Ninety one pitches in

753
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: three and Tuesdays' innings, that's a shit ton. Even all

754
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: of that, the Cups only had two hits. The Cups

755
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: are two damn hits, and in drew six freaking walks.

756
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: They only put two balls in play over ninety five

757
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: miles an hour, which is astounding. Days in the fact

758
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: that he was chased in the fourth and he certainly

759
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: changed up his attack this game, which I think ties

760
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: into the fact that as crazy as this, this could

761
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: be just a pure nonsense connection.

762
00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: But JD.

763
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: Davis was on the field instead of yr On Giormey,

764
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: so you know your infield defense a little bit worse.

765
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: He went hardcore the four Seemers again today. Compared to

766
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: the Sinkers, he went forty one percent, four seamen for

767
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: twenty one percent singers, almost a complete flip from his

768
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: last start and basically a little bit more. But his

769
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: first start season was a little in the middle and

770
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: the control was spotty. He really wasn't finding that four

771
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: seam location. He was missing inside, he was missing outside,

772
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: he was missing high. He just wasn't pinpointing. It wasn't bad,

773
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: but it wasn't like the way we've seen the last

774
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: few times out when he was very effective and he

775
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: sat ninety four he touched ninety six. It was a

776
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: little bit of a drop from his last two starts

777
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: where he was hit sitting ninety five ninety six ish

778
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: and touching ninety seven. But this was his coldest start

779
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 2: of the year, so we'll give that. And the guy

780
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: he got fucking squeezed. Man, the Mexica fucking squeezed that day.

781
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: How in God's name have we had? Joe west Lipka

782
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: can whatever all these schmuck umpires are, how do we

783
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: have them? I don't even know the series.

784
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: Every series, I think when things are going bad, you know,

785
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: it just feels like this, like every single thing goes wrong.

786
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: At that game on Tuesday night, it felt like every

787
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: single thing went wrong. And even when we got to

788
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: the end of the game after an off a feeling

789
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: game and Frank Francisco Lindor had the at bat, it

790
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: just felt like something good was gonna happen, and nothing

791
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: good happened.

792
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: The most positive thing I can come take from Game

793
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,959
Speaker 1: one is that Miguel Rojas that's on the Marlins. Luis

794
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: Rojas got tossed from the game for the first time

795
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: in his career. Saw a little energy, saw a little

796
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: life out of.

797
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: The Yeah, it was warranted doing a stoneface face, so.

798
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: It was good to show like a little bit.

799
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: But like I still think, if I'm not gonna hey,

800
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: then Rojas is the lack of showing emotion. I kind

801
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: of like when the baseball manager keeps the even keel

802
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: either of men, you know, like keep steady hand, steady hand.

803
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: But just to go back on this, because I was

804
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: searching for this while you were talking about Taywan Walker

805
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: and the errors and everything. So Tim Healy put out

806
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: this tweet before J. D. Davis's era two and two

807
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: thirds innings, zero hits, zero runs, two walks, five k's,

808
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: forty six pitches after the error, forty five pitches one inning,

809
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: two hits, three runs, two earned, four walks, two k's.

810
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's really hard, crazy.

811
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: To pitch the way you want to, especially Ton Walker,

812
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: who's clearly made an effort to try to be cut

813
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: get more ground balls this year. It's really hard to

814
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: pitch the way you want to when you have no

815
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: faith in the guys behind you. And that's possibly we

816
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: will never know. Tybera. Walker is not gonna say, Ah,

817
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: jd fucked me. I couldn't pitch that.

818
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: You can't. You can't say that.

819
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: But there's a clear and obvious there was something that changed.

820
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: And it also he got it did start to get

821
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: squeezed a little bit, and you saw him even chirping

822
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: the umpire, which I love to see because fuck umpires.

823
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a sentiment around the league. They stink

824
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: at their job. But it changed the entire game. It

825
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: changed the entire game.

826
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: It did.

827
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: But also at the same time, Jad Davis has to

828
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: make those plays. He has to and there's no more excuses.

829
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: There is no more Oh, the off days it's cold

830
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: like it's cold for the other teams. It's the other

831
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: teams have off days. There's just it feels like there's

832
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: just a pile and pile of excuses as to like

833
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: why the Mets aren't playing well, when really it should

834
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: just come down to, like, at this point, they're just

835
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: playing bad baseball. There's no more excuses to be had.

836
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: They are playing bad baseball. M's' just playing bad baseball.

837
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: It's bad, bad, bad, bad bad baseball, no other way

838
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: around it.

839
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Game one's bad. I'm gonna go on

840
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: my little rant here about the Mets now because I've

841
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: been waiting for this for about, you know, thirty thirty

842
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: forty minutes or so. But we got notes, we got

843
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: the bullet points. Bad defense, atrocious defense from just about everybody.

844
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: This series has looked bad. From Lindor making some errors,

845
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: which is uncharacteristic from Michael Confordo still having an inability

846
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: to throw the ball in and hit a cutoff man

847
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: or make an accurate throw at all. Pitchers aren't backing

848
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: up behind home plate.

849
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: JD.

850
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: Davis looks like he's never actually played the position of

851
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: third base right now, Like it's Kevin Pallar not getting

852
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: the ball. The little things that a winning team does

853
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: the Mets are not doing right now. Defensively, and like

854
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: I know, backing up home plate doesn't sound like something,

855
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: but that's the difference between the guy maybe going from

856
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: second to third on a ball that's a shit throw

857
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: from the outfielder that they're trying to get the guy

858
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: at the plate, but second to third, now, if there's

859
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: less than two outs, a fly ball gets that run

860
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: in instead the guy goes a third orchestrated at second.

861
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: These are little things. If you're a good team, you

862
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: have to do this, and the Mets are not doing

863
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: the little things. And this is what makes me concerned

864
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: about Luis Rojas is because when they're not doing the

865
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: little things, it really does come down to the managing

866
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: and the coaching because the players, of course, they have

867
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: to be able to play the game, but it also

868
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: comes down to the preparation. It comes down to what

869
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: if they're ready for these games. It feels like the

870
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Mets aren't ready. I mean you can even go to

871
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 1: the offensive side. The at bats have been atrocious. Whatever

872
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: the approach is at the plate is take it, put

873
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: in a garbage, can't light it on fire. I don't

874
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: want to see this approach anymore because it's so so bad.

875
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: But you want to blow up in a garbage. Can't

876
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: lay it on fire. You want to take the trash

877
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: and burn it.

878
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: Yes, I want to take the trash and burn it.

879
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: Get rid of it. I don't want it to exist anymore.

880
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Send it to Pluto, send it to a fake planet.

881
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't care. Get it out of here. Fuck Wrigley

882
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Field at night. I hate that place. It looks like shit.

883
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to ever play it and field again.

884
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: Shit, God, damn Mark, that's it. That's a pillar of

885
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: baseball history right there, d.

886
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: Except at night. The fucking lights don't work. It's twenty

887
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: twenty one. I know you have cheap ass owners. Get

888
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: some fucking lights. You paid goddamn twenty scoreboards, put some

889
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: fucking lights out there. Also. With the way there playing baseball,

890
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: strikeouts walks, I can't even put home runs, but it

891
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: looks like they're trying to. They just can't hit it

892
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: far enough over the fence.

893
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe one day, maybe one day.

894
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: We'll hit a home run, even though we've gotten a

895
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: couple like this series. But strikeout walks boring baseball. No

896
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: one's driving in anybody with runners in.

897
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: Actually, I think you meant to say boring fucking baseball.

898
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 2: Boring fucking baseball, exactly, boring fucking baseball. Like I think

899
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: I put out a two hours like this series feels

900
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: like it has been going on consistent, like Tuesday night

901
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: all just continued into Wednesday night, just continuing the Thursday night.

902
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: It's all been one nightmare of a game.

903
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: It's like a Grateful It's like a Grateful Dead album.

904
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: It's just one song, just.

905
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: One song that won't end. And I just wanted this

906
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: it every even tonight, like the game was just so

907
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: long and boring. It wasn't an entertaining game to watch,

908
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: and not even because the Mets were losing. If the

909
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: Mets were winning this game, I probably would have the

910
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: same thing. A little calmer for sure, but I'd be like,

911
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: my god, that game was just tough to watch on TV.

912
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: Nobody was doing anything. It feels like the same game

913
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: since Tuesday. And I pray to God, this is not

914
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: an indication of how the season is going to be,

915
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: because actually that's not.

916
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: This is an indication how the season's going to be.

917
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 2: I want everyone to remember for a moment twenty eighteen

918
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: spring of twenty eighteen, when the Mets were ten and

919
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 2: one eleven and one a Mickey Calloway, the best young

920
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: manager in baseball. The team was playing their balls off.

921
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 2: What a great start to the season that was. Everyone

922
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: remembers how that went. The first the first two weeks

923
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: of the season has littles no indication what the rest

924
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: of the season is going to be. Remember the Tigers

925
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: two years ago, had they started off like it was

926
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: like ten and nine or something, and then they went

927
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 2: on to win like forty three games the rest of

928
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: the season.

929
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: I feel like the team you always have to bring

930
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: up now is the Nationals in twenty nineteen. Yeah, literally

931
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: were the worst team in baseball come May, middle of May,

932
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: and they won the freaking World Series. So it's not

933
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: the end of the world. But I just don't want

934
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: this to be in any indication of how the season

935
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: is going to go because this watching this baseball I

936
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: put this, it's a little crazy. Maybe maybe I'm going

937
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: a little crazy here, but it's less enjoyable than watching

938
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: when the Mets flat out stunk because we're supposed to

939
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: be good and we're playing you spoiled brat, you shut

940
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: your mouth the team and we're playing so bad. At

941
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: least when we were bad teams. I knew we were

942
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: gonna stink. I knew we're gonna lose. I hate the

943
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: idea of like we should be better and we're just

944
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: not there. I know you.

945
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: You wouldn't have this beautiful, raw emotion. You wouldn't be

946
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 2: just spinning this truth on your on our podcast right

947
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: now if the Mets were awful. But it's just supposed

948
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: to be awful. Like I'm sure the Orioles podcast and

949
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 2: the Tiger's podcast out there, there's no there's no vivacious emotion.

950
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: Their face doesn't get red, their hair doesn't get messed

951
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: up in the game in April. That's that's because we're

952
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: supposed to be good. That's what we're here for. And

953
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna continue to be here for that sweat and

954
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: we haven't work big Yeah these Mets games, Man, you

955
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 2: had like a soliloquy. I think I've caught some Miambic

956
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: pantama there. But all we gotta do now take care

957
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: of fucking business against Nationals. We got we got, we

958
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: guess our arrival. We have our two best pitchers coming

959
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: the mound the next two days. You gotta take care

960
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: of business. This team has two good hitters in the lineup.

961
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: I cannot wait until Starlin Castro makes me eat my

962
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: words with like with like an age for nineteen series.

963
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: Sodo isn't even playing. I don't think, are you serious?

964
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: So it is hurt. Yeah, so they have one competent issue,

965
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: one good place, who owns the Mets, who's sick? And

966
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: so help me? God, if Aaron Loop faces Trey Turner

967
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: at all this series, i am going to jump off

968
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: the roof. I'm gonna lose it because.

969
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: Don't don't jump off the roof. Just go right to

Speaker 2: Gonna pull up in your car? You motherfuckers?

974
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: Why are you doing this? I'm gonna sit outside his house.

975
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna beat my car horn all night until I

976
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: get an answer because the decisions were making are so bad.

977
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: But yes, move on, We're on to the next series.

978
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm a little hot. We've got to beat

979
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: the fucking Nationals or the Nationals are They're not good?

980
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: They're no, they're not good.

981
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: Team, They're not good. Another team past their Prime, a

982
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 2: team that's not gonna really scare you with any starting pitching.

983
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: We've got Eric Fetty on the hill tomorrow. I pray,

984
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 2: I pray, I pray, I pray. I pray on his downfall.

985
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: I pray on his downfall.

986
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: I want to make Eric Fetty feel pain. I want

987
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: him to not want to pitch anymore. We have such

988
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 2: a gift that we're getting to face the Nationals for

989
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: a weekend series. We're not gonna see Max Schers, We're

00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,719

994
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 2: You got to do it, have to beat them.

995
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: I mean you don't. You have to, but you don't.

996
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: It's whatever. It's the sameled like cliches of baseball.

997
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: You know, no, no, no, Tomorrow. I'm gonna say this

998
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 2: right now. First, I'm gonna break this out on this podcast.

999
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 2: Tomorrow's a must win game.

1000
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: And you are getting saying this is any indication, not

1001
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: even ten percent.

1002
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: Of im not. I'm not. I'm not saying these last

1003
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: three games are predictive of any way. If had that

1004
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: season's gonna go. But I'm saying Tomorrow, off a three

1005
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: game skid, playing dogship baseball, Jacob de gram versus Eric Fetti,

1006
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: Tomorrow's a must win game. I am.

1007
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to the game tomorrow night and

1008
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: even like Saturday, but I'm a little worried that it's

1009
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: gonna get ugly at Cityfield because if this team comes

1010
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: out and lays a goose egg.

1011
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: Go tomorrow, come on and not tomorrow. We've got two

1012
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: best pictures on the mound the game, it's gonna be bad. Man.

1013
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: I enjoy yourself.

1014
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: Everyone's Mets Twitter is not doing well. We're the positive guys.

1015
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: We're not doing that great. I mean like there there

1016
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: are way more negative people like we at the end

1017
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: of the day, like we'll rant and we'll say our things,

1018
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: we'll have our issues, but at the end of the day,

1019
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: like we know this seem's gonna be okay. But that's

1020
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: not how the average fan thinks, because the average fan

1021
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: doesn't think most of the time. It's just an emotion.

1022
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: It's just just you know, what's on the top of

1023
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: their brain. Right now.

1024
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 2: We've been spitting low key poetry here.

1025
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fucking drink before every single podcast. I'm gonna

1026
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: have a little Captain and coke every single time because

1027
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's just we need to hit Man, we

1028
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: need to hit at least, please hit for de grond.

1029
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: Please please put up a freaking ten spot against Eric.

1030
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: The love of God has any.

1031
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: Meets, Please it might be different after tomorrow.

1032
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: It might be different. Who knows. I didn't even like

1033
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: to see the much. Just swing out of their shoes tomorrow.

1034
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: Just go up there and just take fucking war acts.

Speaker 1: know start getting a little like restless too, with like

1050
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: yeah happy even like Ron today was like a little

1051
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: nitpicky about Pete because they asked like Pete, like, what

1052
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: did you think about the home run that you hit

1053

Speaker 1: five hundred people. Ron's like, I would have wish you

1055
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: I wish you would have said, I don't know. It

1056
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 1: was like, let's listen, like we're not gonna pick everything here,

1057
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: like it's okay for him to say he crushed that baseball,

1058
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: Like I know they're playing shit game. The ground's whole

1059
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: thing was like, you guys are playing bad, like stop

1060
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: thinking about you, Like this team needs to step up.

1061
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I think you're looking a little too

1062
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: much into it. I think Pete A. Lonzo is very

1063
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: much a team guy from the way that it seems

1064
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: there's one thing you can't deny. These guys are all

1065
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: rooting for each other. They all want to do well,

1066
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: and I think that's why there's even more pressure.

1067
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: Is that they don't want to go. How did you

1068
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 2: go from like angry sweating, upset, cursing to like, I'm

1069
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 2: gonna be really sweet and sad. These guys love each other.

1070
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 2: We just lost three games in a row. The series is.

1071
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: Over, removed onto the Nationals. Now, I'm feeling good again.

1072
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine.

1073
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 2: Fine, We're gonna be fine.

1074
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: But you have to you watch you watch Rick and Morty.

1075
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: Of course, it's like the episode where they like go

1076
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: into that other dimension where it's just like the worst

1077
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: versions of themselves, but they have to get rid of

1078
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: like a toxin in order to like be okay. That's

1079
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: what this episode was of the podcast. We just we

1080
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: had to throw out every single bad thing that was

1081
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: in our body, including watching those nine hours of Mets

1082
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: baseball that was atrocious.

1083
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 2: Nine This was at least at least ten. It felt

1084
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: like these were long game.

1085
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: It felt like when I closed my eyes at night,

1086
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: I was watching more Mets Baseball, like if it was

1087
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: haunting me.

1088
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 2: Have you been sleeping? Are you okay?

1089
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean from the looks of it with my eyes,

1090
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: it looks like I haven't been sleeping, oh my. But

1091
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: we had to get rid of the toxins. We had

1092
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: to get rid of all the bad, the negative juju

1093
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: coming into the National Series. There's no reason we shouldn't

1094
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: beat the Nationals. There really isn't no reason.

1095
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: There's no reason that I can think of, conceivably in

1096
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: my logical head that the Mets can lose to the

1097
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: Nationals the next two days. There's no way we're.

1098
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: Gonna do it. We're just gonna win. We're just gonna win.

1099
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: It's that simple. Just put it out there, put out

1100
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: the wins. We're gonna be fine. Episode it was a

1101
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 1: different one, for sure. We're not even doing a bad

1102
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 1: take because the bad take is just straight up Mets baseball.

1103
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: Mets Baseball was a bad take the entire.

1104
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 2: I've only been making a conscious effort to stay off

1105
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: Twitter just because of how negative all most of the

1106
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 2: Mets fans are. I don't need to see any of

1107
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: the stuff. Yeah, honestly, and even even some of the

1108
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 2: positive they started rubbing the wrong way. Dicomo's on pace

1109
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 2: for one hundred and seven wins tweet the other day, I

1110
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: was like, get the fuck out here. I don't want

1111
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: to I don't want to see that.

1112
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that. Don't need to see

1113
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: that right now?

1114
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: Like, I just don't want to see that.

1115
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: Let's just watch Mets baseball and in the moment you

1116
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: can have your say your piece, but then after it,

1117
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: let's go to bed. Tomorrow's a new day. And I

1118
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: think that's what the Mets need to do, That's what

1119
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: we both need to do, and I think that is

1120
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: the perfect way to end episode number eight here of
