1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: Oh boy. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, guys, Mark and James, that's the podcast here 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 2: to talk about the Tigers series. You could probably hear 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: the hesitation in my voice a little bit because this 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 2: is not a fun one. This is not a fun 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: episode to talk about. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: bring the heat. I'm not gonna bring the energy like 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 2: I normally do when they're when we're feeling great by 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: any means. But we do have to talk a little 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: bit about what happened. Uh not the best baseball played 11 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 2: this past I guess technically two days because of the 12 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: rain out, but these days in Detroit have been pretty 13 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: pretty miserable. So me and James are gonna go ahead 14 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: and talk to you guys about what we're feeling, what's 15 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: going on, keep it real with you guys, and then 16 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: talk about the Rockies and stuff. We're gonna keep this 17 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: one pretty short. There is not too much to talk about. 18 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: Justin Orlander first start. That's pretty much the big spining 19 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 2: or shining, sparkling thing to address here. But James, what's up, man? 20 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: How we feeling? 21 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: Uh? 22 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: Not that good? 23 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. 24 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: Watching the Mets just lose these three games of the 25 00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: Tigers back to back to back. 26 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: It was tough. 27 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: It was really difficult, especially coming after the last two 28 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: series they play at home against the brazen Nationals. This 29 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: is there's one of the lowest episodes we've ever recorded 30 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: for the Messed Up podcast. Yeah, they have lost nine 31 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: of their last eleven, not to you know, really be 32 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: a dead horse here, but they've not been playing good 33 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: baseball over the last two weeks and not really necessarily 34 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 2: sure what exactly is the cause or the issue. Seems 35 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: like some days the pitching isn't there, some days the 36 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: hitting isn't there, like we saw on Wednesday agains at 37 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: Wardo Rodriguez or Josiah Gray in the series past. But 38 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: there's definitely just not the greatest of vibes right now 39 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: in Mets world, definitely, especially on the social media side 40 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: of things. And it's it definitely is not we like 41 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: doing the podcast episodes where we're excited, We're like, we 42 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: just we swept this team, we beat the Dodgers, Like 43 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: those are the episodes we live for. The episodes where 44 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 2: we get swept up against the Tigers, who are, without 45 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: a doubt, one of the worst teams in baseball. And 46 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: I know, like people are using that sad about how 47 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: the Tigers are I think eleven and three or twelve 48 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: and three against teams outside of the American League East 49 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: this year. But I mean you look up and down 50 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: that roster, it's it's a bad team. So they're really 51 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: there is no excuse for getting swept to the Tigers. 52 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: Like they just straight up played better baseball and that's 53 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: something that should not happen. No, like that thing you 54 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: say that you look for something you can change, and 55 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: this gets fixed them We're okay, but there isn't that 56 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: like one thing we can't fix right now. It's just 57 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: every single day something else, and it's it's like on 58 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: the most frustrating part as a fan that like, you 59 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: watch this team and you know what they're capable of, 60 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: and you know how well you've seen them play over 61 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: the last few years, and you're like, wow, it's just 62 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: it's just not there right now. It's just not happening. 63 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: It's been a real kick in the nuts to a 64 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: certain group of Mets fans that are also Rangers fans 65 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: this week with the Rangers get knocked out of the 66 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: playoffs and the Mets getting swept by the Tigers. It 67 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: has been not a great week for very specific New 68 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: York sports fans, especially John John's like, hey, come on, man, 69 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: it's taking shots at me that John Listen James is 70 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: a Rangers fan too. Everybody's hurting, not feeling great. And 71 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 2: it was a week that should have been really really exciting, 72 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 2: really exciting, like especially in Mets World with sures Er 73 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: and Verlander coming back, Verland or making his debut. We'll 74 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 2: talk about that a little bit more in depth a 75 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: little bit later on this episode. But Chureser came back, 76 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: and I don't know if it's because of the time off, 77 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: if it was the weird, funky schedule that's been going 78 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: on the weather. We know that, you know, Sure's is 79 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: very particular about like his workout routine and the days 80 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: off and stuff in between, and that got pushed like 81 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: awkwardly because of the rain delay or not the rain delay, 82 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: because of the postponement. But he obviously wasn't sharp. I 83 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: think there's there's no way around it. He did not 84 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: pitch to the max suers or levels and even address it, 85 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: you know, after the game, talking about how he just 86 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: didn't necessarily feel good, something that we definitely need to 87 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: hopefully adjusts and get to the point where we get 88 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: the old Max Suers or Cy young Galbert pitcher back. Yeah, 89 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: and shures Are himself did address it pretty contritely after 90 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: the game, basically saying like, I just didn't I didn't 91 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: have it, but I didn't have the tics like I was. 92 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: I was throwing ninety two. I want to get to 93 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: a tick or two higher that's where he was last year. 94 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: And him identifying that and saying that as the reason, 95 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: very very obviously and emphatically to the media. I guess 96 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: that that's meaningful in some way. But like that the 97 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: home run that Matt Fielding hit was just ninety two 98 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: right down the middle, like almost every single hit the 99 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball is gonna be able to turn that 100 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: one around. And the other thing that's interesting about shure 101 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: as Er starts just to talk about pitching for a 102 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: second here and make myself can't try to feel better, 103 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: is that while that fastball was the thing he referenced 104 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: after the game, there was game that ticks like that 105 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: was also the only pitch that was getting in his 106 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: swings and misses, Like his sliders didn't have the bite, 107 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: He wasn't locating the fastball or the slider or the 108 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 2: color or the change up hasted a home run. The 109 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: slider that was like on the outer edge. It looked 110 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: like if a matchers are put the slide there, usually 111 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 2: you can't get that much bad on it. The only 112 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: wiff he got in the whole game with the slider 113 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: was Hobby Bias in those whift Stone count even though 114 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: he had two runs off us in the series. Because 115 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: of course I was we lock of a lifetime. We tried. 116 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 2: We tried so hard. We didn't say we knew though 117 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: that it was common. We're like Hobby Bys. Also, the 118 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: balls did feel like they were flying a little bit 119 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: out in Detroit, didn't they He a little bouncy, he 120 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 2: a little bounce you I mean you, this is on you. 121 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: You chastised cavernous Detroit. They moved those fences significantly in, 122 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: and then Erica and Matt Fielding hit put the ball out. 123 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: To be fair, they hit it to the part where 124 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: those fences weren't moved in, and they hit it down 125 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: the lines. Home runs were down the lines. Would have 126 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: been nice if the Mets could have gotten a couple 127 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: more home runs down the line. No Lindor got that 128 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: home run, which was good to see earlier ed Family 129 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 2: Canada did in Game one on Tuesday on Wednesday, like 130 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: the Mets were hitting the ball a little bit when 131 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: the series began and then just ended on wednes on Thursday, 132 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: with Edward Rodriguez looking like Sandy Govac's just every single 133 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: pitch exactly where it had to be, eight inx, just 134 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: no base runners. It was it was almost I don't know, 135 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: I felt it just felt like a fever dream. It 136 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: was a very confusing game to watch because this is 137 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: a team that like doesn't swing a miss a lot, 138 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: doesn't strike out a lot. Like. Granted, the Mets we 139 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: knew that this team, like power wise, was not gonna 140 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: be one of the top and baseball we knew that 141 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: power wasn't necessarily their strong suit. But like contact, putting 142 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: the ball in play, making pitchers work was and Edward 143 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: Rodriguez got through this game in eight innings with like 144 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: one hundred pitches. It felt like the plan that the 145 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: Mets normally go to just like wasn't working and they 146 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: tried to do something else. Maybe I don't know, it's 147 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: it's weird when you see a team with guys like 148 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: Brandimo Marte Lindor even Alonzo McNeil, like guys who don't 149 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 2: strike out, and there's just like a lot of swinging misses, 150 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: a lot of just confusion from what it looked like 151 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: at the plate. It was a pretty ugly eighteen innings 152 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 2: of baseball since Game one, like Game one was tough 153 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 2: because it was a close game that lost because of 154 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: a ball here, ball there. But Game two and three, 155 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 2: like relatively speaking, the Tiger, the Tigers gave it to 156 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: the Bets. Yeah, for sure. I mean the games that 157 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: mess pretty bad too, and I was against Max Schurz 158 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: and Justin Berylander. That's again, continuously the most frustrating part 159 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: of chout of Jimmy Ackabonus. In Game one, though like 160 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: he he did everything he could, Lukes was getting hit 161 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: kind of hard. And then Buck said after the game 162 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: that there's no starter right now for Sunday because of 163 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 2: the rain now from Tuesday at the double Heather Wednesday, 164 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: So he limited lukezy four innings like forty six fifty pitches, 165 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: try and get it back out there, and Yacabonus walked 166 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: out there and through three perfect innings, thirty one sinkers 167 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: that had thirty five pitches. They all looked amazing. He 168 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: got the pitching Ninja treatment, so it was nice that 169 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: he did that. And it did feel like that first game. 170 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 2: It does feel like which is the worst part of 171 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: about a series like this, where you feel the butterfly effect, 172 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: Like if the Mets get out of that game Tuesday 173 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 2: afternoon with the victory, this whole year could go differently. 174 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: I don't I don't know, mat I. It seems like 175 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: Max Schuers didn't have it. Like I also maybe still 176 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: lose that game, But I just feel like the feeling 177 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: really changed when the Tigers grabbed that lead off tide 178 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: of out of Veno in the eighth inning, and it 179 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: was like, oh man, and I felt really good too, 180 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: because like the Mets went down early from Lukez giving 181 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: up those home runs or the runs in the first 182 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: and then the Mets did answer back, which was like 183 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: that was like okay, okay, Like that made me take 184 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: like a deep breath. That game was tough. Like you said, 185 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: the Marte ball that maybe could have been caught in 186 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: right field, he took a step back, he was playing 187 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: really deep. The ball dropped in. He saw the tweets 188 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: all over the place. I'm sure, you guys about the 189 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: catch probability and whatnot. It was just like you said, 190 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: when that inning kind of happened, it felt like something 191 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: a little bit changed, and you saw it play out 192 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: what seemed like in the next game and then on 193 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: game three on Thursday, which we're now talking about. I 194 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: don't know, the vibes are a little down. Vibes are 195 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: a little down. Hopefully coming back to New York playing 196 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: the Rockies, things can change. You know, we got Buck 197 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: who's a veteran manager for a long time, so get 198 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: these guys right. I know he talked a lot to 199 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: the press after the game, had a bunch of different 200 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: comments to say, and I think everyone at least acknowledges 201 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: that they're playing poorly. And I don't think it's like 202 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: a uh, like anybody's hiding behind the fact, like, oh, 203 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: this is just April. I think there's like a thought 204 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: around just the entire thing about like we need to 205 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: play better. This is not okay, this is not acceptable. 206 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: April isn't an excuse because the Tigers are not a 207 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: very good team. I mean that's what it is. Yeah, 208 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: And then you also look because like you try to 209 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: look at this whole like bad stretch as a whole, 210 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: Like the end of that Giant series Nationals, Braves, Tigers. 211 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: You look in like, that's like three of the four series, 212 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: and thats have played this year against teams that are 213 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: under five hundred. Now with the Marlins as of recording 214 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: this on Thursday afternoon, I've climbed above five hundred, and 215 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 2: you look and you're just like, wow, it's so frustrating 216 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: that the worst baseball that we've played is against teams 217 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: that are worse like you show and again the Brave 218 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: series whatever, it was a weird series they play a 219 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: half a game on Friday and the weird double Heather 220 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: where they truthfully could have won both games. Like that series, 221 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: you almost feel like you have to flush it just 222 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: because of how bizarre the timing of it was. But 223 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: you look at the rest of that those series and 224 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: you're like, these are just games that you like, you 225 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: are better than that team. You have better. Buck didn't 226 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: answer a question about that heading into the series, like, 227 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: can't treat anybody like that, We can never think like that. 228 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: You start thinking like that as how it gets ahead 229 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: of you, but it's just, oh god, it gets me. 230 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: So it's so frustrating that that's just that's when we 231 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: have played our worst baseball this season. Yeah, it's a 232 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 2: weird place to be with the schedule that we've had, 233 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: that the Mets are five hundred right now, it's it's 234 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: a very uneasy feeling. And I can I can feel 235 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: with you Mets fans at home, who are probably a 236 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: little more irate than me and James per Se with 237 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 2: your reactions of what's going on. To be fair, we've 238 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: had some time to sit on us sit on this 239 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: and think as well and talk through it. I think 240 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: if you record this after the game, you feel different sometimes, 241 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: but give yourself, you know, an hour or two just 242 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: think about what's going on, and your vibes changed. But yeah, 243 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 2: like it's just whatever happened in this Tiger series, whether 244 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: it was the rain, whether it was the cold, whether 245 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: the fact that it felt like you were playing aau 246 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: baseball because there was like sixty people in the stands 247 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: that if just to talk about the vibes there for 248 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: a second, the stadium was extremely empty. The camera angles 249 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: were so weird on S and Y. I looked at 250 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 2: both S and Y and compared it to the Detroit broadcast. 251 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: I don't know what camera's s and y got, but 252 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: they were like incredibly zoomed in, incredibly zoomed in, where 253 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: the Detroit ones were more zoomed down. My dad's like 254 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: Detroit looks like a bandbox, and I was like, no, 255 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: it's because the camera was zoomed and like even like 256 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: Gary Garret was like he was, you know, making some 257 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: calls here, and there wasn't necessarily a sharpest. It was 258 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: just it was an off series for everybody around the Mets. 259 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 2: It seemed like, and hopefully we can put this behind 260 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: this because we cannot continue to play pat ball like 261 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: this and be a successful team. And I'm not gonna 262 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: pretend like I'm not like everything's okay and fine, but 263 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: I know that this team is not bad. They had 264 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: a bad series. They played bad. But if you're someone 265 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: who thinks that this is a bad team because of 266 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 2: these three games or what you've seen over the last ten, 267 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: I think that would be a little naive, Like there 268 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: are this team is still good. They still have good players. Yeah, 269 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: this team is good. They have good players, but they 270 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: just they just quite literally have to play well. And 271 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 2: this series was in itself weird, just from like a 272 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: logistics standpoint where yeah, you had a series else ending 273 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: on a Monday, wound up ending on Monday with a 274 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: double heather, so you wound up leaving much late than 275 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: you ever attended. You get in there, you get to 276 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 2: the ballpark, you get rained down again. Then you have 277 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 2: a double heather on a Wednesday. Then you leave on 278 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: travel day on a Thursday, immediately come back home like 279 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: it was just a weird couple of days in Detroit 280 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: surrounded by two two and then three games at home 281 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: and back on the road next week. It's just weird, weird, 282 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: weird vibes with the whole thing, and I don't know 283 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: which is I'm at a loss right now. Like again, 284 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: I wish there was one thing I could point to 285 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: this team and did. It did feel like that for 286 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 2: like most of this series. But all right, the starting 287 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: pitching just has to get better, Like Starry Danchings, they 288 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: get better. Sures and Verland are coming back like okay, 289 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: they're gonna study the ship. I'm gonna be okay. But 290 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: now it's like just then you just go out there 291 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: and get two hit on a Thursday afternoon. You're just 292 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: left looking for answers that you really can't find. Yeah, 293 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: I mean, let's let's flip the script here a little bit. 294 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: We've we've talked I think, I don't want to say negatively, 295 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 2: but as as much as we can about how these 296 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: games really went in terms of, like, you guys know, 297 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 2: the situation, they played poorly. We don't need to say 298 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: it one hundred times or ten eleven minutes into the episode. 299 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: I think we should at least talk about Verlander. While 300 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: he did start off the first inning shaky, there were 301 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: actual real good signs with Justin Vere throughout this game 302 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: that made me excited, Like the fact that's fastball. I 303 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: think just from watching I saw it hit ninety six 304 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: a couple times like that. To me, I go awesome. 305 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: The slider looked like okay at times when he was 306 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: throwing the curveball, which started off a little bit rough 307 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: in the first sitting, I feel like got better on 308 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: throughout the game. And of course he was throwing strikes 309 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 2: like he didn't really feel like he struggled. He just 310 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: gave up the two home runs back to back. Yeah, 311 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: two of very runs back to back. Tigers didn't really 312 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: thrown after that first inning. Something interesting Verlander did in 313 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: this Star where he basically threw an even amount of 314 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 2: forcing fastballs and sliders. That's something he hasn't really done 315 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 2: before in his career. Even last year was about fifty 316 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 2: to thirty and then like twenty percent curveballs when through 317 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: eight curve balls at seventy nine pitches, So that could 318 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: be an adjustment today Verline is doing. It's also a first start, 319 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: just just a couple of innings years, so not really 320 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: anything to glean from that yet, but we'll see that 321 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: he looked fine. He didn't give up a lot of 322 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: loud contact, but yeah, Go America held most of it 323 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: and wasn't really like it was like loud contact. It 324 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: was either like on the ground or like a really 325 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: low sinking liner or just like a hard pop up 326 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 2: and eye and wasn't. Yeah, there were a lot of 327 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: hard hit balls per se, but I don't think done 328 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: many them. Were very fearful after that first inning. And 329 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: I mean Verlander, like throughout his career, has been a 330 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: fly ball pitcher who is susceptible to the home runs. 331 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: That's what happens when you throw high in the zone. 332 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: When you throw you throw hard, like justin Verlander does. 333 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: By no means is that like surprising when he does 334 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: give up home runs. Look at his years in the past, 335 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: and if you look at even some of his years 336 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: with the Astros, like he has given up hard hits 337 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: like this is not He's not untouchable by any means 338 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: in that sense, but he still is a very good pitcher. 339 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: And I thought that his start, outside of the first sitting, 340 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: which was was rough as we know, was was good. 341 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: I think there was a positive to take out of 342 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 2: this series, Like, oh, Justin Verlander made two bad pitches 343 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: relatively speaking, two bad pitches, even the one the Hobby 344 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 2: Bayaz was on the black. It was a fastball on 345 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: the black that he just hit the right field because 346 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 2: Hobby Buya is a bad ball hitter. But for the 347 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: most part, it's two bad pitches and the rest of 348 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: the star was good. Yeah, And that's I think something 349 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: that has been kind of critical to this Mets team 350 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 2: so far. We've talked about it ad nauseum that was 351 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: still yet to have a pitcher get through six innings 352 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: twice on this roster, which is just crazy, this thing 353 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: to say on May fourth for a team that came 354 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: in with the rotation that had very high hope. So 355 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: he's just hoping that he does wind up steadying this 356 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 2: thing a little bit at least every single fifth day 357 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: him like he we we get we got, we got 358 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: Max Scherzer. 359 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: Everything's okay. 360 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: I mean j Justin Orlander ill Met. I was looking 361 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: up stuff on Max Scherzer. 362 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: In my tab. 363 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 2: That's why I'm also just like this home runs of 364 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: Max Scherzer. It's it's freaking crazy, like what's happening here, 365 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: Like he's already given up six home runs this year. 366 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: Just guess somebody gave up last year eleven, thirteen, whole 367 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: year it was close, really close. Good job. Yeah, but 368 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: that's that's scary, Like that's terrifying. That's already that many 369 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: home runs. Like, man, we literally and I want I 370 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: echo what he said, like he's like, all right, this 371 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: was a long layoff. It was weird to even get 372 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: in the mountain this time. I just want to get 373 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: out there again, like do it again. And I'm like, 374 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: I'm really I'm really waiting for the next Max sure Stark. 375 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 2: So I want to see him get back to where 376 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: he is. Run it back, Max, Let's go, yeah, get 377 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: like if he can get back on on pace with 378 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: like the Max schuers that we know he can be 379 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: and saw ad times last year. It's unbelievably huge for 380 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: the Mets. It's so valuable to get that picture back. 381 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: Uh. 382 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: In terms of the bullpend two in Game three, because 383 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: the Bullpend also did hold it down. They didn't give 384 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: up any runs in the three innings in relief. Jeff Brigham, 385 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: your boy, I mean, was he got Brigham stuff? Maybe 386 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: not a minute, but maybe like fifteen seconds. I mean, 387 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: it just it's just looked good again. He wasn't he 388 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: wasn't really getting the swings and misses, but he was 389 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: getting some calls strikes, and they just he just got 390 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: the guys out, Like god. He brought that color back 391 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: against left. He that was fine. It was Smith Dominic 392 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: Leoni got into the game. The oh yeah, your boy 393 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: dominic Leoni. Yeah yeah, uh, those are the words are 394 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: coming out around around him coming to the team. Were 395 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: kind of interesting this morning to beat Rathers. We're like, yeah, 396 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: Domic Guloni's here. We haven't heard anything, but we haven't 397 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: heard they signed them, but we see him like in 398 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: the clubhasse, so I guess he's gonna be on the team, 399 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: which is pretty funny and Drew Smith pissed the last setting, 400 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: eighth inning, got to strike out, looked good as always 401 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: because Drew Smith's the man. Two point two five era 402 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: on the year for Drew Smith. So if we got 403 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: any positives to take out of it, h those are them. 404 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: They're a little bit numbered right now because again, probably 405 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 2: the worst years we played in a while. But yeah, 406 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 2: that's that's it. And truthfully, hats off to this Mets 407 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: bullpen just for the year in general, like for as 408 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: little as the starting rotation has given, like they have 409 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: been astoundingly good for what they've had to work with, 410 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: which is, yeah, most of the innings in most of 411 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 2: the games, a lot a lot of innings on this 412 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: bullpen's arm. 413 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: Already. 414 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 2: We know Adam Otovino had the rough eighth inning in 415 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 2: Game one, but it's gonna happen. He can't be perfect 416 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: all the time. I think I don't really want to 417 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: talk about the Tigers series anymore. Honestly, I think the 418 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: nice bow I'll put on is I won the estimate. 419 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeay for me. Would have love to lost 420 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: this one or lose this one because it means that 421 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 2: Mets we're pitching a little bit better. But I want it. 422 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: So I think I've now tied up the estimate, which 423 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 2: is a perfect time to bring in Johnny stats here 424 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: for us, so we can go ahead and do the 425 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: estimate for the upcoming series of the Colorado Rockies, which 426 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: we will preview for you guys. Of course, in a second, 427 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: I need to grab a piece of paper. I don't 428 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: have a piece of paper or a pencil around me. 429 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 2: I'm extremely unprepared. I got one local, you gotta get one, 430 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: all right? What's going on? John? What do you got 431 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: for us? 432 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: Hello? Guys, I'm very sorry I missed the last episode. 433 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: Did you wish I didn't? Do you know the secret word? 434 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: Do I know the secret word? No? 435 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: I don't get Yes, I guess John really missed the 436 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: last episode. Didn't even listen to the boys. I see 437 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 2: how it is. 438 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: Just look, guys, I knew what you were doing there. 439 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: I've been going through I've been going through it. Okay, 440 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: I've been going through it. I what can you say? 441 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: You know? Sports are an escape for us. At the 442 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: same time, there are some days and some nights where 443 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: I I it's the worst thing that's ever happened to me. 444 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 2: Sometimes you move from sports, Yeah. 445 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: And like look at art or things like that, And 446 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: I was definitely feeling that on Monday night at a 447 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: Prudential Center. But like I said before, we got going, 448 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: things can only get better from here. So I guess 449 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: that's the modus operandi I will I will operate under 450 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: moving forward. So yeah, I mean, I Mark, you said 451 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: you won, and you did, but I wish we could 452 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: just shave this one. James wouldn't have such a complaint 453 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: about that. Just forget this entire time happened. But it did, 454 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: all right. So we got the Rockies coming up to 455 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: town now, a team that gives up a lot of runs, 456 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: team that scores a lot of runs. Both of those 457 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: things leads to long games. And did you guys know 458 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: the Mets. They're actually averaging the second longest lineinging game 459 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: in the major leagues right now. 460 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 2: That makes sense because I feel like every time we're 461 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 2: at City Field, which has not been much this year 462 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: because we haven't played many home games, but I'm like, 463 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 2: the Mets have not figured out a way to play 464 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 2: like one of these patented new two hour twenty minute 465 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 2: games they did today, it was like two hours, nay minutes. 466 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: Well that was hell. So let's maybe maybe we don't 467 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 2: play I don't know. 468 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: Well, I think a lot of it has to do 469 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: with what James mentioned about Mets starting pitchers not getting 470 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: deep into games, finding their rhythm, having those quick half innings. 471 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: But the more pitching changes you have, the longer games 472 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: you're going. I mean, that's just that's just all it 473 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: comes down to. So I think it's a product of that. 474 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: The Mets have had their games where they've scored a 475 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: lot of runs, They've had their games where they've worked 476 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: the closing pitchers drawn a lot of walks. Obviously that 477 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: leads to longer games as well. 478 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: Can I even tell you actually after today's after Thursday's game, 479 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: the Mets average time of game has dropped all the 480 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: way to one tooth about about eighteenth. 481 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: Wow, really just from today? 482 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that they're abject two hours and thirty eight 483 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: minutes per game right now, that's a bit. 484 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: Ball, I guess, Yeah, I guess the sample uh isn't 485 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: big enough. Right now? The Marlins are number one in 486 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: terms of shortest games, and they had like that one hour, 487 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: fifty seven minute game earlier this season, and I still 488 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: think that's weighing them down a little bit keeping them 489 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: all the way at the bottom there. But anyway, so 490 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: here we are. I want to know the average game time. 491 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: We'll do hours and minutes. If you guys want to 492 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: go seconds, maybe we do just in case we have 493 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: a tie. Probably better. So James is having to complain 494 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: about if there's a tie, the hell's kidding? Hey you know, yeah, 495 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: it's the alexis Ts thing. It'll live on forever.

The ball did not lie. 499 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: That is true for the second straight weekend. This would 500 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: have been the case last weekend until mother nature got involved. 501 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: Three games, three different start times this week and at 502 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: City Field seven to ten on freurh four to ten 503 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: on Saturday, and one for on Sunday, So a different 504 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: start time for all those who have different preferences. Four 505 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: tenh star times, electric four tens A many are we 506 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: doing second? 507 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 2: Doing seconds? I think? 508 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: Actually do seconds? 509 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 2: Yeah? I threw seconds. Unless we come up with the 510 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 2: same number, it really doesn't matter. But I like the 511 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: idea of throwing in seconds. It fits for what I 512 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: wrote down and I'm not changing it. Oh okay, interesting, 513 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: why do you like four to ten star times because 514 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: you can, like you're not rush to get there early. 515 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: Like it's like a nice mid afternoon game, and when 516 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: you're done, you still have time to like go home, 517 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: maybe eat a little dinner, and then you can go 518 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: out with the boys afterwards, like and still have a 519 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 2: great night.

And this 548 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 2: is a This is a piece of cardboard I received 549 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: when I brought bought all my Brett Baty cards that 550 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 2: I have because Brett Bady is the friggin man and 551 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 2: he had a great series. He was a beast. But 552 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 2: this is the cardboard you pack in there so that 553 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 2: you make sure the cards an't get damaged. You gotta 554 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: take care of the people when you're selling them cards, 555 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: and they take care of you when you're buying. So uh, 556 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 2: it's a piece of United States Postal Service box because 557 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 2: they give them away for free. John, thank you for 558 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 2: the estimate. We will we'll see it. We'll see him 559 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 2: tomorrow maybe at Cityfield. We'll see it someday at City Field, 560 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: and uh I'll be here. Yeah. Well we'll talk about 561 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: this Rocky series now, me and James here because we 562 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: are seeing the Rockies for the first time this year. 563 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: Are they interesting? Is that the word I want to 564 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: describe them as? What do you how would you describe 565 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 2: the Rockies? How would I describe the Rockies? They are 566 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 2: a team. They're they're they're a team. They're they're a 567 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 2: baseball team. We can't you. I'm not taking anything for 568 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: branted just because no, like what's happened over the last week. 569 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 2: So the Rockies, I guess they are. Do you have something? 570 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 2: The biggest thing about the Rockies have been this way 571 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: just for generation now is that they're just they act 572 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 2: like differently at home versus on the road, like they 573 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: just always have. The Rockies continually run like nearly five 574 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 2: hundred records at home and play a little bit worse 575 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 2: on the road. So I again, I don't want to like, 576 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 2: I don't want that to say anything that I think 577 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: about it. They're coming into the series. They've won three 578 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: games in a row. Their game Thursday right now is 579 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 2: not started great, but they could be weight here at 580 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: worst winning three out of four games. And I don't know, 581 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 2: like Chris Bryan is a baseball player. Ryan mcmanon's a 582 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 2: good baseball player. 583 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: CJ. 584 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 2: Cron Ellis DS has been a door in the medsides forever. 585 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 2: We're gonna see Antonio Senza Tella who he gets out, 586 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: he gets out of the chorus field, He loosens that 587 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: arm up, and you know, you've never seen a pitcher 588 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 2: like this in your life. I don't know what can 589 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 2: we say. I don't be able to say about other 590 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 2: teams anymore. Yeah, I mean I Ezekil Tovar is always 591 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 2: my guy to watch. I'm excited to get to watch 592 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 2: him up close and personal, just because I'm a big 593 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: fan of his. He's a young prospect shortstop with the Rockies. 594 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: Has been struggling quite a bit this year. He's the 595 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,719 Speaker 2: first tim run this week though. Yeah, he's twenty one 596 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: years old. We saw him at the Fall League when 597 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: we went and met Bret Batty. Bringing it back to 598 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 2: Bret Batty as always, but they have some players on 599 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 2: their team. Like you said, pitching wise, that's always gonna 600 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: be the I don't want to say X factor. That's 601 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 2: gonna be the wild card. That's the word I'm looking for. 602 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 2: Their pitching is always gonna be their wild card. They 603 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: will be able to hit. This team is not bad 604 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: offensively by any means. They can swing it for sure 605 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 2: a little bit. Pitching is the wild card because these 606 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: guys finally get to use breaking balls as soon as 607 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: they leave Cours. But at the same time, you have 608 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: the negative effect of leaving Colorado, where you're now at 609 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: normal altitude. Your body is exhausted after spending all that 610 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: time at the Mile High City. It's it's interesting. Like 611 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: you said, they don't really play well away from home. 612 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 2: But honestly, if you're a Mets fan, or even the 613 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 2: Mets themselves, you should not care. You want to gotta 614 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: come out and pound this team. You gotta destroy them. No, 615 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: you gotta. We gotta go with this series pretending that 616 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: they're like the thirty two Yankees, Like you gotta imact 617 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: like this is like this is you have to you 618 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: have to treat this team like they are the greatest team. 619 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 2: That's ever st up in a baseball field, because that's 620 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: just what's going on right now. And we are gonna 621 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 2: miss Kyle Freeland, who has been pitching action quite well 622 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: for the Rockies this year. Well, you know what I 623 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 2: saw is on this team that I forgot about Jerkson Profar, 624 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: no old Mets stuff callback here. A certain man by 625 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 2: the name of Brad Foot aka Brad Hand will be 626 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 2: back in cityfield, James your personal favorite. Oh god, we 627 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: got hit that guy. If we don't got it, oh 628 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 2: my god, there's gonna be a Tommy fan versus Brad 629 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 2: Hand at bat this series, and I I guess he's 630 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: gonna rely on it literally that and then another reliever 631 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 2: I do want to mention Justin Lawrence is really really interesting. 632 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 2: He throws like submarine side arm and throws like ninety 633 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: nine miles an hour. He's got some crazy stuff. I 634 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: want to shout out how short all of the relievers' 635 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: names in this Rockies bullpen are it is. It's very late. 636 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: Justin Lawrence is the only guy who even has four 637 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 2: syllables in his name. Pierce Johnson, Brent Seother, Jake Bird, 638 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 2: Daniel Bard, Brad Hand, Nick Mears, Peter Lambert. So every 639 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 2: single name in that bullpen only have two there at 640 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: least four syllables. Oh my goodness. Yeah, and they have 641 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 2: a how do they have a bird in a bard 642 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 2: as well? It's very confusing a bird the bar of 643 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: the hand, a mears a bread to Jake A Brad 644 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: and Nick. 645 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: My goodness. 646 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 2: What are our pitching matchups for this series? I know 647 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 2: Sunday we said we're not quite sure yet because the 648 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: Mets the off days have been weird for them. Yeah, 649 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: it does feel like that's gonna be looule crazy because 650 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 2: Jose Buda was using relief on Wednesday night, so it 651 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: just makes also just for a similar meta time that 652 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 2: Lukas was used, so I kind of feel like those 653 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: two could piggy back again. But Friday night we're gonna 654 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 2: have co I Sanger versus Antonio Senzatela. But the first 655 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: time I ever seen Cody sang alived, his his first 656 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 2: time pitching in a while. Yeah, he's got his intended rest. Yeah, 657 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 2: it's like basically a full week off for Codi. Sang 658 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 2: I gathered himself after this first month in the States, 659 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 2: and then Saturday, the four o'clock game, the the Young 660 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 2: person's preferred start time, John Hatzid TYLERR mcgilver's, Austin Gomber. 661 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna mention Alison Gombers and pitching Nope, no comments. 662 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: No comment. 663 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 2: And then Sunday it's probably a mix of Lukezi a 664 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: Budo and probably some other bullpending versus Ryan Selton. Okay, yeah, 665 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 2: those those are the pictures for the Rockies that will 666 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 2: be the most of the pitch he had. Those are 667 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 2: the pictures. Those are the pictures. And and for the 668 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 2: Mets to win, they have to score more runs than 669 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: the Rockies. These are true statements. That's a. 670 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: That's a. 671 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 2: That's a key way of winning baseball games. Scoring Mormons 672 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 2: and your opponent. I'm gonna channel probably the last time 673 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 2: we had like this weird losing stuff going on, when 674 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 2: we talked about, you know, how to break some bad 675 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 2: luck here and if you got a gong. I know 676 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: some of you have gong's back home, but we could 677 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 2: really use some gong smashes. Is like tonight or whenever 678 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: you listen to this. I don't know when it's gonna 679 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 2: come out, But if you've got a gong, you got 680 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 2: a pillow. I don't know if you have a broken mirror, 681 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 2: throw it away. Like we need to channel some some 682 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 2: good lie, some good luck, some good vibes, some good energy, 683 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: because the energy's not feeling great right now. So we 684 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 2: got we gotta change that around a little bit. I'm 685 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 2: putting I'm putting a spoon underneath the pillow tonight. That's 686 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: a lot you're looking for snow. I'm looking for snow too. Whenever, 687 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 2: bring the Rockies, bring some good luck, whatever it is. Yeah, 688 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 2: if anyone watching on the YouTube, I changed my microphone. 689 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: Now it's like coming out like it's coming from above 690 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 2: rather coming from below. Maybe maybe that'll change the luck 691 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 2: a little bit. I don't know, I'll even know. I'm 692 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: gonna where some wear some weird to the ballpark tomorrow. 693 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 2: I think I'm going out after so just like maybe 694 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 2: maybe change up the vibes a little bit there. I 695 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: don't know. It just LA's called mints of this episode. 696 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: We should really just like peel it back and just 697 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 2: just again, just tell Mets fans we're sowing thirty two 698 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 2: games into the season, like it's still very early. Like 699 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 2: I pulled up right here the last Uh, this is 700 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 2: gonna be kind of funny. The last three winners of 701 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 2: the National League in full seasons, because it doesn't count 702 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: to the mickey mouse Dodgers because they only played one 703 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 2: twenty percent of the world. Yes, and what they played, 704 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 2: they played like as many games as there were. Now 705 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: because yeah, well we'll highlight the sixtieth game mark of 706 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 2: the season, highlight the standings and made less people know like, oh, 707 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 2: this is how fake that Dodgers World Series really was. 708 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 2: But just again, the last three National League winners are 709 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: real Nationalague winners. All hilariously came out of the National 710 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: League East, which you know, really helped twist the knife 711 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 2: in this conversation a little bit more. But last year 712 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 2: at May fourth's Philadelphia Phillies eleven or fourteen, oh yeah, 713 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one on May fourth, the Atlanta Braves thirteen 714 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: and sixteen, twenty nineteen. On May fourth, Washington Nationals fourteen 715 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: and eighteen. Yeah, those are those are the last three 716 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: teams to win the National League. Like this is really 717 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 2: bad right now. The Mets look not that good and 718 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 2: we're still five hundred and the last three teams won 719 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: the National League on this date. The last three times 720 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 2: were below five hundred. I will say I'm keeping a 721 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 2: lot of receipts though. On Twitter right now, Oh, there's 722 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: so many people talking smack, especially Braves fans in particular, 723 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: and they have every right to. Right now, without a doubt, 724 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 2: they're up a bunch in the division. They're looking great. 725 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 2: But boy oh boy, comes September October, the Mets make 726 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: a run. We're gonna be having some fun over here 727 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: on the podcast, that's for sure. We definitely want. I 728 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 2: still just can't. I still can't wrap my mind around 729 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 2: the fact that everyone is like harping on the offense. 730 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 2: That's the issue. Yeah, people love blaming this offense. This 731 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: team is like eleventh and all baseball and run scored. Yeah, 732 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: the guy will know how much. Yeah, it's when the 733 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: pitching isn't there, the offense steps up and sometimes it 734 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: doesn't match up evenly. But overall, just have to play better. 735 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: Just simply have to play better, and especially play better 736 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 2: than the team that you're going up against in those games, 737 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 2: because that did not happen against the Tigers. Take care 738 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 2: of business against the Rockies this weekend.
