1
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: What is Up?

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Up Podcast. Unfortunately, not gonna be saying those three magic

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: words that I was really hoping we would if we

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: won this series, but you know what, it was a

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: good heat check. The Astros are a better baseball team

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: than their record shows. The Mets might be a better

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: baseball team than their record shows, but at the end

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: of the day, they did end up losing the series.

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: So we're gonna talk about everything that went on between

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: Condelita singing on the field and drop an OMG on

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: Friday Night, which is an absolute banger historia grimace that

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: continues and continues in just straight up how the Mets played,

14

28
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: But James, we had a long day yesterday, a lot

29
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: of baseball, a lot of baseball, long night out.

30
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: How are you feeling today? Feel great?

31
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: Me?

32
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: We had a great da yesterday, wonderful day in city Field.

33
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 4: Happy to meet some of you guys. There was my

34
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: first game in a few weeks, which was nice. Meant

35
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 4: the legend, Isaac my boys for the first time in

36
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: a while. Isaac's the man. Hung out with our boy

37
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 4: claim mc kids all day too, his dog. And then

38
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: just we had a great night. We had a great

39
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: celebratory night on the town.

40
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: New York City. West Villa is the best there ever is.

41
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 4: But it's just it's a shame that this team lost

42
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: on Sunday.

43
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: And it killed a lot of the vibes that we

44
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: would have had.

45
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: Heading out of this series had they won a game

46
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 4: where there was a big comeback.

47
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: Team really dug deep.

48
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: He had chances to win the game in extra innings,

49
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: and you just you feel the effects of the Edmund

50
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: suspension loom so large and these last two Mets losses.

51
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: So I'm not It's not like I'm upset about it,

52
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: but it just would have been such a great way

53
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: to bookend this incredibly gay grim as June for the

54
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: Mets because it just won one more game and one

55
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: more series against the Astros.

56
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: It is funny, how like calling the team gay is

57
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: like coming back, but it's not in a bad way,

58
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: Like it's very it's a very progressive way, and I

59
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: like it. I like it to get the game Mets

60
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: were great, But the game Mets are over. It's gonna

61
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 2: be July first, when you guys are listening to this.

62
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: We'll see if the team how long they keep up

63
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: the pride logos on all their stuff. I don't know

64
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: if they're gonna be quick to switch that or not,

65
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: but I mean, listen, they're winning games, keep it going,

66
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: keep it going, keep the vibes up. I'm here for

67
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: whatever it is. But yeah, like you said, it would

68
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: have been great to have won this series. These were

69
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: winnable games that, like you said, got away from us

70
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: because of the Edwin Daz suspension. And I don't want

71
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: to like point fingers and make excuses or anything like that.

72
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: But it made me feel better that we lost because

73
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: we got fucked because I mean, I mean, he cheated.

74
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: That's kind of the right thing to do for a

75
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: guy who cheated, Like I think it's pretty pretty safe

76
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: and obvious to see that he had some sticky stuff

77
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: on his hands. And this is probably the right decision

78
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: that they ended up making. But it really killed this team,

79
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: especially the last two days, like what was it Matt Fest?

80
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: No Matt Festa? Which one was Matt days on the Twins.

81
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 4: I don't think they're brothers. I'm almost positive brothers. I

82
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 4: know David's also from this David went to Seaton Hall.

83
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: I think it's just a weird coincidence. They're both from

84
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: the northeast.

85
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: Baseball Reference has no understanding of him being his brother.

86
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: Let me check MLB dot com. They might be quicker

87
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 2: if it ever loads up. Yeah, they're not brothers. They're

88
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: not brothers at all.

89
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: But he is from Brooklyn.

90
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: Matt any group in Staten Island with to Saint Joseph

91
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: by the Sea, which is funny his hometown team. Apparently

92
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 4: he was a group of big Mets fan just sucks

93
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: that he just totally just just blew the game. Wide

94
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: open that night that eleventh inning two also got away

95
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: fast and it's just it was a bunch of singles,

96
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: which was the theme of the Astros the whole game.

97
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: And then there was the double down the line by

98
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: Trey Cabbage with Triga Abata actually really niceerious Tray Caabahie

99
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: hit the ball really hard multiple times. He's a good

100
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: athlete in the outfield. He hit that double down the

101
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: line past Vento's where Vento's probably just should have could

102
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: have knocked out all down.

103
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: It was smoked.

104
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: But they showed the replay and Keith was critical of

105
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: Vento's defense, where Viento's was like jumping into his ready position,

106
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: which we heard wasn't great. Yeah, him and baby say

107
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: has helped them a lot improve the defense year. They

108
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: said something Lindor helped him with but he jumped late.

109
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: And Keith broke this down really well that when the

110
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: ball was made contact with Piantos was literally a nincher

111
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: off the ground, so he wasn't planted and he was

112
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: a second laid for a ball. It didn't get passed

113
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: him by very much, but then was hit so hard

114
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: they got all the way down the line and let

115
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: the run score, so just frustrating and not like just

116
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 4: just to have lost that game again, and then the

117
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 4: way they lost in Saturday too, after building a big

118
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: lead and blowing it on the one shot and not

119
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: being able to go back. And there's a time in

120
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 4: the series between Saturday and Sunday with the mess I

121
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: think when eleven straight runs eleven straight in things, I

122
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 4: was scoring a run, yeah, and Sunday they were no

123
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 4: hit until the sixth, so it wasn't like to clean

124
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: this game ever, wasn't one the exactly should have won,

125
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: but he just had the opportunity to do in that

126
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: bottom of the tenth nning he couldn't.

127
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: And it just it kills the vibes a little bit.

128
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: It does, It really does. Yeah, it definitely does. But

129
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: it's it's good because now we're in July. It's a

130
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: new month. The vibes of June or over officially, I think,

131
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: I is this the end of grimas James, what do

132
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: you think?

133
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 4: I think it's definitely not the end of Grimace. Maybe

134
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: it should be the end of Grimace spiritually, but we

135
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 4: like we're city Field and Saturday there's Grimaces everywhere.

136
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think I think the idea of like

137
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: the Mets record since Grimace, like, I think that thing

138
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: is officially over. I think it seems like Grimace is

139
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: gonna stick around the team, like with the fans who

140
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: have bought the suits that they're wearing. And I'm sure

141
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like a novelty thing that that that

142
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: Grimace is around, especially with the City connect Jersey's being

143
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: quote unquote having some.

144
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Purple in there.

145
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: But otherwise, I don't know, man, I think I think

146
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: the grimmest stuff is over. I think same thing June's over.

147
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: It's time to move on. Let's find another our next

148
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: weird thing.

149
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: We had another weird thing today.

150
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: We're actually talking about real baseball in the second, but

151
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: just another weird thing that came up. Matt inser Mage

152
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: can have the Matt minute coming up lay in the episode.

153
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: He still showed me this.

154
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 4: Do you see the parakeet in city field today? There

155
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: was a parakeet in city field today? Was there was

156
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 4: a blue parakeet in the city field?

157
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: Mats a lout.

158
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: I might have busted the Matt minute. I'm sorry, but

159
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: uh oh, he said, Now he said, now we're good.

160
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: Blue parakeet in the city field someone during the rain Delight,

161
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 4: basically like I shouted it out, called it to attention

162
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: and the parakeet's owner came to City Field and retrieved

163
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: the bird.

164
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: What before the game even ended. How long the rangel

165
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: I took? Oh my god, that's crazy. The Raindelight was

166
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: unbelievably long.

167
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: It really wasn't even rating that Harden queens for most

168
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: of it, which was confused using or at least in

169
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: the storia.

170
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 4: It looks like it also poor in the field. But

171
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 4: it's just I think that Raine Lay was such baseball

172
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: blue balls.

173
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: That was crazy.

174
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: The fact that we were coming up by the ninth

175
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: enning ready to go and then just everything was gone

176
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: gave them at a huge break because of made Josh

177
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 4: Hay They're unavailable. Still wasn't enough to get over the line,

178
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: but just I don't know, try to talk about the

179
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 4: series more as a whole. It felt more like this

180
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 4: is a bit of an incomplete team that's gonna fight

181
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 4: to be five hundred rather than a team that like

182
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: should be hardcore buyers to the trade deadline.

183
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I was ready to say if, like on Saturday,

184
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: when I thought they were gonna win, I was ready

185
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: to be like, how are they gonna trade these guys?

186
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: How are they gonna how are they gonna break this

187
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: team up?

188
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: Like even the vibes of Condelita, And you saw the

189
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: video before the series started where they're up in the

190
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: piazza c and he's singing his song and all the

191
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: guys jumping in and dance. I'm like, damn, these guys

192
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: got vibes now, Like the vibes are incredible with this team,

193
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: something that they've been lacking for a year and a half.

194
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: I was like, how are you gonna break it up?

195
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: Because like several Reino was a big part of those

196
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: vibes jumping in there and and just guys that might

197
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: not be a part of this team maybe at the

198
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: end of this month. But they lost the series, So

199
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: that does I think kind of take a little bit

200
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: of a step back. David Stearns, I'm sure is probably

201
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: taking a little sigh of relief too, being like a

202
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: little less pressure if.

203
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: I do make these moves.

204
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: Oh, my dad dropped to cooy Yes today at the game.

205
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: He said, Sterns has to be so fucking pissed the

206
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: team got this hot. He was probably so excited to

207
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: tear down and get his prospects and be fully ready

208
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: for twenty five and twenty six, like you want it.

209
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: But I'm still not totally out on the Mets pushing

210
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: in a little bit or not trading everybody in every

211
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: single thing. Yeah, Like, I don't think that Pelons is

212
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: gonna be off the team unless the team takes a

213
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: fucking nose dive over the next thirty games.

214
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: Or like a team comes in and is like, hey,

215
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: what about we give you the number seven prospect in

216
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball.

217
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, well I gotta do that.

218
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 4: Then, yeah, the Mariners could be the team that goes

219
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 4: over the top like crazy, because he's the one who

220
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 4: could dramatically affect their chance of winning a World Series.

221
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: Lazarro Month this, that's what I'm saying.

222
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: Or or this Huston Astros team that we just saw,

223
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: they have a lot of the David. Their farx is

224
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: very good because of what's gone on, like what happened

225
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: with their penalties from cheating last few years. But they

226
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: like there's a lot of teams that like they probably

227
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 4: think we're exactly one p Linzo away from having a

228
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: wor World Series calender team in a very wide open league.

229
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: All right, so you don't think necessarily Pete right now

230
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: is gonna be traded. What about Jady Martinez because he

231
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: feels like the guy Now, no, that is probably I

232
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: don't dead man walk is not the right way. He's

233
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: playing good baseball, but it feels like he's the offensive

234
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: piece that gets moved, along with Harrison Bader probably as well.

235
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: He feels like that way pretty obviously. But I think

236
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: I he's taking on almost too much of a leadership pay.

237
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: I think this team has to be five games under

238
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: five hundred for him for any of those guys to

239
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 4: be traded, even yeah, I think all those guys. I

240
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: think for Beta, for any position player to betray the

241
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 4: team has to be at least five games under five hundred.

242
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 4: For any pitcher, they won't. They won't do it unless

243
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: the team is I am I gonna word this. The

244
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: Mets have to be more than five games over five

245
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 4: hundred for them to hold the pitchers. But five games

246
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: under five hundred. That's where the hither line is. I

247
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: think that's the difference. Like I think Sean and I

248
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: is gone. I think if hosting against spot from someone

249
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: will take him if you'll trade him and Savarino is

250
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: another one who I think also mes Fens probably don't

251
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: want to hear this more than likely so gone by

252
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: the time it gets August, it is, and now we're

253
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: just talking about trade the online when I haven't talk

254
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 4: about the game. I think this series kind of embodies

255
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: where this team is right now and a really in

256
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 4: a really exact and obvious way in front of our faces.

257
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the pitching, I think is the more obvious

258
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: part to go too, because we have Code I Sanga

259
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: hopefully coming back at some point. We have Christian Scott

260
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 2: coming back up. We have Jose Budo who's going to

261
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 2: be coming back up, Like this is gonna sound crazy like.

262
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: We also have Dom Hammill, we have Joey Luczy, we

263
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: have Mike Vassel, who are all guys in Triple A

264
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: that could be major league pitchers. And No Severino I

265
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: think is a little bit different, but that's kind of

266
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: like Code I fills in for him and he's much better.

267
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: But the rest of these guys, like, how much worse

268
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 2: could they possibly be than Manaia and Kantana And it's

269
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: not even that those guys.

270
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: Suck, but it's just I don't think they can be worse. Really, Yeah,

271
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: in fact, they like does a good chance they could

272
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: be better.

273
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, actually pitch deeper into games and do more Kantana

274
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: is interesting because Katana has made a bit of an

275
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: adjustment over his last two starts. Finally, was talking about

276
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: this a lot last year. He's been throwing his curveball

277
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: a lot recently and it's getting a lot more swings

278
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 4: and message. You guys probably noticed that Katana's struck out

279
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: a lot more bad recently. Fifteen over his last two starts.

280
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 4: Those two starts, he threw the curve ball thirty three

281
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: percent of time and twenty three percent of the time.

282
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: Those are two highest marks since like the middle of

283
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 4: April and the single start. It's again it's like that's

284
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: something and like he has been more effectively. Also wasn't

285
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 4: efficient at all on Friday night. He couldn't He couldn't

286
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 4: get out of the fifth inning, Like he was nibbling

287
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 4: the zone all night. Because his fastball and sinker are

288
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: that bad and the change up is still quite good.

289
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: It's ahole reason he's been this major leaguer this whole career,

290
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: at this crafty lefty. But it's just not I don't

291
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 4: know it. It's not a full picture. And even sever Reno,

292
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: it's so weird, like we hit the fever pitcher of

293
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: Severino last Sunday in that Clubs game, national television, ten strikeouts,

294
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: like everything went together and people are like, Louis Averno

295
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 4: is one of the best stories in baseball. But again,

296
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: if you've been watching his team starting then to start out,

297
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 4: you know that this version of several Reno is kind

298
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: of more like today. Yeah, I'm trying to compare him

299
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: to a pitcher. It's more like Lance Lynnish. It's more

300
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: like late stage Noah sinder Gardish, where he's just throwing fastball, fastball, fastball,

301
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 4: sinker fastball, fastball, not Kyle Gibson. Kyle Gibson used a

302
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 4: lot offstpet pitchres how he gets there, But it's just

303
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 4: a maniacally fastball heavy approach that's kind of built on

304
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: command and getting weak contaxttring on this game today, it

305
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: was insane sixty three percent sinkers, fourteen percent four seemers,

306
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 4: and five percent colors. That's eighty two percent of his

307
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: total pitches being fastball variations. And we've talked a lot

308
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: about we talked about a lot of the game yesterday.

309
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 4: To that it seems like the thing that Hefner's doing

310
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 4: with these guys with colors, and the Hefner color is

311
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 4: more of like a baby slider than it is like

312
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: a fastball variation, but still considered a fastball variation. Eighty

313
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 4: two percent of Louis Sabring's pitches, more than four out

314
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: of every five pitches, was a sinker, fastball or color.

315
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 4: So that to me is a guy that's still just

316
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: it's not it's not great, it's just simply good. Like

317
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: the three point four to two e great, seventy four

318
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: strikeouts and ninety seven and thirds innings not great, that's different.

319
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: And that's like, he is a pitcher that's probably pitching

320
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: better right pitching worse than his results are right now.

321
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: But he has such a mentality, such a good athlete

322
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 4: in the mound, and he's throwing so hard that he

323
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 4: keep getting way with it, getting way with and getting

324
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 4: way with it. And it's good, but it might not

325
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: be sustainable exactly what it is right now.

326
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm interested to see what the Houston Astrosts

327
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: think about him, because that's a team that could desperately

328
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: use some starting pitching that is going to be pushing

329
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: for the playoff. They will not be sellers. And they

330
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: just gave a little audition. I wonder if the pitching

331
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: guys over there are seeing something, are like, we could

332
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: fix Sev.

333
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 4: Well, the problem is because it's just that sweeper. You

334
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 4: have to unlock that pitch to get that and the

335
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 4: slider going. And he did that less Sunday against the

336
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 4: Cups and that's how he missed all the bats and

337
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 4: that's how it looks so good. He kind of he

338
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: put it a white on Sunday and he was still

339
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 4: effective and he was even the game was even shitty

340
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 4: because he was giving up dinks and dunks and bloops

341
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: and that's how the Astroals got all their runs.

342
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: And on Saturday too, even with the Dickson dunks and

343
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: the singles, like, it was unbelievable.

344
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 4: Seve, we're gonna gone to the seventh inning of this

345
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: game with seventy nine pitches like and then Adrian Howser

346
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: again bullpen God had a great winnings to get us

347
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: to extra innings.

348
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: It was awesome.

349
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 4: I was almost pissed that the rain came because I

350
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 4: would have let him just go forever. But let it go, Adrian, Yeah,

351
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: just keep rocking out there. We even got We got

352
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: Ty Adcock too, who's nice, not that bad. Ninety seven

353
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: miles an hour. He learned a new color and he

354
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: has like a hard gyro slider eight eight miles an hour.

355
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: That's someone who can pitch in the ballpen. You don't

356
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: feel like you want to throw up, that's not.

357
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Festa feel like I want to throw up a

358
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: little bit seeing what happened. Feel bad for the guy,

359
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: but I feel bad. I w Yeah, ty I ad Cock.

360
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: He gave me a little something like you said, ninety

361
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: seven with that slider. And I don't think he really

362
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: walks anybody either, which is super intriguing. But yeah, all right,

363
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: let's let's let's le's talk about the games now. Friday night,

364
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: Apple TV, jose Al two by jumps all over hose

365
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Kantana first pitch of the game, and what was your

366
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: initials feeling games?

367
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: Because mine went off? Fuck it's over, God damn it.

368
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: I just got off the beach on Friday and came

369
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: back just some time for this game, my first rough

370
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 4: beach day of the year. I got so burned and

371
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 4: I was actively like applying aloe and like trying to

372
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: cook dinner quickly while I was gonna start working. Watching

373
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 4: this Mets game, I just like levitating off my couch,

374
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: like trying to find the comfortable spot without my back

375
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: touching the couch. Because it was so horrible but solid

376
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 4: home run. I was like, Ay, this is not gonna

377
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: be a game, but wound up being your game again.

378
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: Kintana just dropped that curveball on them and wound up

379
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 4: pitching fine. And it took a while, but the Mets

380
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 4: offense came alive and did what they needed to do.

381
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: And big it was.

382
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 4: It was Mark Fiento's, it was Pete Alonzo, and it

383
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 4: was fucking Brandon Nemo, the three horsemen of the of

384
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: the gig Gurmus Mets.

385
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

386
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: No, it was really nice to see that they did

387
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: fight back in this one after being down early.

388
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned about Tyrone Taylor too.

389
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm a guy from Mcneilah McNeil with that big three

390
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: year on home run, which I still don't really know

391
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: how that ball got out. I don't think Jeff knows

392
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 2: how that ball got out. I was really hoping, I

393
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: was really hoping that this game was gonna be maybe

394
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: the turning of a page for Jeff, because he went

395
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: three for four, which is not something we've seen almost

396
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: at all this year. Maybe, if ever it was not,

397
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: I don't think he got a hitter after Friday night,

398
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: which is pretty disappointing. But Tyrone Taylor too, is a

399
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: guy that I was a little bit critical of recently

400
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: as a possible DFA candidate. He's been hitting for a

401
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: lot more powers, he's been playing more with Marte out.

402
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: It looks like maybe it was just a consistenty thing

403
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: for him.

404
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

405
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 4: I was also looking into total the wrong box score.

406
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 4: The guys I mentioned Nimo Viento's they had no hits

407
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 4: on Friday. I thought I was thinking about Sunday. I'm

408
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 4: scatherbrand right.

409
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: Now, but it was like it's Alonzo, Taylor and McNeil brother. Yeah,

410
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: it was totally incorrect.

411
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 4: The Jeff things interesting because he didn't play Sunday with

412
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: lefty Fraanbervaldez on the Mound, but he came back in

413
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: I didn't play Saturday at Fraan bredon Mount, came back

414
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 4: Sunday and he hits.

415
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: He did three hard hit balls, which I think he is.

416
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: He did look a little more comfortable, a little more confident,

417
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: and he also looks much better at defense.

418
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: I think is important.

419
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 4: He did cut that ball off though, on that double

420
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 4: that DJ Stewart made the throw.

421
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Is that trick Cabage too or that that was I

422
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: think it was Singleton. I will say he cut it off.

423
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: I think he had to, though it didn't look like

424
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: there was really any mustard on that On that throw,

425
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: I thought the same thing originally too though I was like, oh, yeah,

426
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: cut it off like five feet away from the bag,

427
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: but Keith, Keith would have made a big deal about it.

428
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: Keith didn't say anything, so I think that's why it was.

429
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: That's true.

430
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 4: You are right, and uh also is Friday night and

431
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 4: they kind of killed the team for this series. But

432
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 4: I think it's a good thing that is part of

433
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 4: Carlos Mendoza's managerial philosophy. I think it's relevant talk about

434
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: because every day we learn more and more about him

435
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: as a manager, and he's been objectively fucking awesome this year.

436
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: He cares about the game he's playing, not the next game.

437
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: And I think that's a really relevant, important thing because

438
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 4: we I mean, I know, Buck was like criminally bad

439
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: at this where he was always cared about the next game.

440
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: He was always trying to thread the Neil, thread the needle,

441
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 4: thread the needle.

442
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: Where that's the Orioles fans. Yeah right, yeah, you know

443
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: Zac Britain.

444
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: He's ready for he's ready for the next Enningever, you

445
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: don't want to you want to blawyer clothes there in

446
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 4: a tire game.

447
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: How could you?

448
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: But Katanae tank in the fifth We just can't. He

449
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 4: can't get their innings. Alavino comes in, gets out of

450
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: a jam, and the dead Neil Nuniez who's quickly become

451
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 4: the most trusted and effectively that's having their bullpen. He

452
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 4: comes out for two winnings, thirty pitches and he gives

453
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: us some traffic, some guys on basically just he keeps

454
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 4: the Astros off the board in a critical time in

455
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: the game that allowed the Mets to jump ahead in

456
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 4: that big botom of the sixth inning. And then he

457
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: went from right him to Deacman and then Read Garrett

458
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: in a five run game, which again that kind of

459
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: comes back to bite you in the ass on Saturday,

460
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: when it looked like Read Garrett was kind of gassed,

461
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: but he only through fifteen pitches the night before, Like

462
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 4: I really probably wasn't that been more of like the

463
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: wind in him trying and grip that splither. But you

464
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 4: could just see that, even with a big lead and

465
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: bigley had been built, Mendoza is like, I'm gonna use

466
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 4: my closer in this game.

467
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: I want to win this game. I want to make

468
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: that happen. He didn't.

469
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: And again we're learning more about Mendoza as we.

470
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: Go along here. Yeah. No, we were super critical Buck

471
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: of not being uh or. He was very careful. Yes

472
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: he was.

473
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: He was a little too careful. He wasn't reactionary. He

474
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: was like, I'm I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna try my

475
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: hardest to make sure Tommy Hunter can somehow get these

476
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: three big outs for us.

477
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: Every single time he's like, no, I know Alavina can

478
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: get through the second ending. I know what he told

479
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: me he can.

480
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: Of course He's Drew Smith, I know you can do

481
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: it up down, even though all year you've been terrible

482
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: at it.

483
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: Also shout out Drew Smith. Shout out Trew Smith.

484
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: Shout Drew Smith, Tommy John surgery that sucks. Drew Chains

485
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: Legend of the Pod, one of the first nicknames I

486
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: think we ever came up with on the pod was

487
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: Drew chains and super nice to us when we met him.

488
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: It follows me on Twitter, super friendly interacting with him

489
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: and stuff. Probably never gonna throw a pitch for the

490
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: Mets ever again, which that sucks. That's a that's a

491
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 2: shitty way to go.

492
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: It sucks, And just likes for.

493
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: Him to get time of John Iavinks his first free

494
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 4: agency because I he could have pitched the whole year

495
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: with his stuff, he would have at least gotten guaranteed

496
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 4: millions of dollars rore. Now he probably just has to

497
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 4: accept like a spring training invitations yep, which thinks And

498
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 4: you feel that this weekend this series because I know

499
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 4: a lot of Mets fans are critical Drew Smith and

500
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 4: always are, but he is better than some of these

501
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 4: guys to pitch like it's kind of like it's the

502
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: devil you know where. Now instead of Drew Smith, you

503
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 4: got Deacon and Garrett pitching got back to back days

504
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 4: and they're both kind of a radic and a game

505
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: we're swirling wins in the city field had to reach

506
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 4: like thirty miles. Now, I never like that, and that

507
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 4: compared to the wind the Shay Stadium. But great to

508
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 4: win the game on Friday, but you push the chips

509
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 4: in and kind of not cost you the game on Saturday,

510
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: made the game Saturday more difficult to win.

511
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: Yes, because once, dude, I mean, it all comes back

512
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: to Tyler McGill.

513
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: I the more and more of thinking about it, he

514
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: did it again. He's doing it again. He's he's texting

515
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: me and I answered and then he didn't answer back.

516
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Like it's just I don't know, I don't know what

517
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: to do with him.

518
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: I'm at a crossroads where like, right the fan side

519
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: of me is like, fuck this man, like figure it

520
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: out already enough, And then like the rational side of

521
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: me is like, is this the worst thing ever?

522
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: That he's just this picture?

523
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like he five and a third is

524
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: probably okay for Tyler McGill on any other day besides yesterday,

525
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: because we had a six to one lead. He gave

526
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: up those three runs in the second inning after we

527
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: took the lead. That kind of killed the whole vibe

528
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 2: as well kept the Astros right back in the game

529
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: when you had a chance to erry them, a chance

530
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 2: to bury the Astros. He needed to give us more

531
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: length than that in the game. That should have been

532
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: an easy, easy coasting for him, and he just wasn't

533
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: able to. And again it comes back to the walks.

534
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: It came back to some of the bloops, which really

535
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: aren't his fault, but the walks they kill him.

536
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: They kill him.

537
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: He can't be walking when he's not aggressive in the zone.

538
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: And we've talked about this many times on the podcast.

539
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: When he's nibbling, that's when he's at his absolute worst

540
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: because he just doesn't have good enough stuff to get

541
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: people to chase out a rate where he can nibble

542
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: and get away with it, like you've seen with some

543
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: great pitchers in the past who don't throw as many strikes.

544
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just totally erradic with the fastball.

545
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: It's hard to tell in the stands, but it just

546
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 4: seemed like he was refusing to elevate the ball and

547
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 4: it seemed like he just couldn't exactly dot that pitch

548
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 4: really any of his any of his secondaries. Once he

549
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 4: got to two strikes, he did get some strike guts,

550
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 4: but just to struggle to put guys away, and that's

551
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: kind of why he's tried to circumvent, not the best

552
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 4: stuff in the world by saying I'm gonna throw everything.

553
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 4: I really did like his curveball too. We're talking about

554
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: his curveball a lot at the seats because it looked

555
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 4: really good. He was throwing it into both rights and leftiat.

556
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 4: It got him out of a few jams. It was

557
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: a really nice strike out yoor Don Alvarez that pitch

558
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 4: in the first sitting where I was like, oh, okay,

559
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 4: that's a pitch that looks very legitimate for him, But

560
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: it's just the splither. You can feel it coming, but

561
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 4: certainly not there yet. He threw four yesterday and only

562
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 4: one of them was in the strike zone. That one

563
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: I need to get one swing and missed though. But

564
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: it's still just it's not he can't just click it.

565
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 4: He can't click in the place. It's very hard pitch

566
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: to learn, and it's a very hard pitch to throw

567
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 4: with no spin on a day where again there's like

568
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 4: thirty mile an hour swirling wins in the ballpark, and

569
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 4: you just happen to have a lot of pitches that

570
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 4: rely on splithers that need to get pick outs in

571
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: this game. But it's just it's I'm always gonna keep

572
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: giving him chances again for all these reasons. And I

573
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: just know for a fact that when Tyler McGill's thirty

574
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 4: one years old, he's gonna have an amazing season in Baltimore, Texas, Detroit,

575
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 4: Los Angeles. Someone, he's gonna go Seattle, he's gonna go

576
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 4: somewhere eventually put it together, and it's not gonna be

577
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 4: with us, And that's gonna be the full epitomy of

578
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 4: the like late night, hey u up text of the

579
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 4: girl won't give you the time of day, but wants

580
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 4: to give you the time of night. And it's just

581
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 4: that is just that momentary thing. But again, shout out

582
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 4: Tyadcock for coming in the sixth inning in a jam,

583
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 4: getting out of it and giving us another entire inning

584
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 4: and looking legitimately okay doing it someone again who I

585
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 4: think can stay in this ballpeny and we won't feel

586
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: like shit about it.

587
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'm gomost say, it seems just like a

588
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: Drew Smith replacement, Like their stuff seemed kind of similar as.

589
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: Well, like kind of and it's like it's it's nice

590
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 4: like the end of Pride month for the mess of

591
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 4: Finally ad Cock, you need of course.

592
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta knock every once in a while.

593
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 2: The problem, though, of course, came with the guys who

594
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: pitched the night before with the big lead, Jake Deekman, Riegarrett.

595
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: Deekman always walks guys. This has always been his mo o.

596
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 2: We knew this coming into the season. This has also

597
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: been a problem for the Mets. I think the Mets

598
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: have the most walks in Major League Baseball for a

599
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: pitching staff, especially on the relief side, Tons and tons

600
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: of walks, and that's what killed in this game.

601
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: We gave up seven walks in this game.

602
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: Just simply from the the mathematical standpoint, that's like three

603
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: runs right there. Of just like walk walk walk walk

604
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: walk walk walk, three runs score if you walk seven

605
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: guys in a row. So you can't do that, No,

606
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: what do you know? What was the difference in this game?

607
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: Nine to six? Like three runs.

608
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: You can't give away free nineties, and the Mets gave

609
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: away seven in this one, which is just kind of inexcusable.

610
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: Deemon wasn't great, Garrett was really.

611
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 4: Bad, but he just can't get over the math of

612
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 4: the seven runs. Seven walks equals three runs, like, actually, real, Mark,

613
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: they need that mind in the front office but like,

614
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 4: I know seven guys in the game getting that runs.

615
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: Lily Staff needs that ship.

616
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, Garrett, not getting it out is painful, and

617
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: I think a lot of mess gons starting turn on

618
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 4: read Garrett. I think I see Matt slowly nodding down

619
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 4: there in the bottom of the screen, but like it's

620
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 4: it's a it's a shame that read Garrett hasn't been.

621
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 4: It was a guy who's like a great story a

622
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: Di'm in the rough gem and now like, oh, go

623
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 4: be the closer. Yeah, that's fucking hard. Really, I thought

624
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 4: that was gonna be in middle of relief.

625
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: Now I'm the closer.

626
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 4: Brook Reiley's gone, edwind Diaz has been gone and then

627
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: come back, and now he's gone again. Drew Smith's gone,

628
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 4: Adam on the Veno looks dead horrible. So like, this

629
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 4: is a guy who were like, all right, worst case snare.

630
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 4: He's like fourth and packing more than in the bullpen,

631
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 4: and now it's like you are the stopper, you are

632
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: the closes. You have to go be great And he's like,

633
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 4: I'm good. I'm not I might not be great. I

634
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 4: think he's fine, but just those at bats were brutal.

635
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: He couldn't let because he had he flipped the order around,

636
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 4: trying to remember now between the Vizzy's was like, h

637
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: it was the pregnant hit. Yeah, band a great series

638
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 4: and you gotta guy like Bregman. We don't get chances

639
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 4: to see a lot of these players up close very often. Bregman,

640
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 4: Al Tuoave, Jordan Alvarez, and miss Kyle Tucker. But Bregman

641
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: made the big error on Friday night that allowed the

642
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 4: Mets to take over that game. He watched the ground

643
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 4: ball right before Jeff at the three run homer, and

644
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 4: that Alex Bregman never does that. Alex Bregman is one

645
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 4: of the surest things in baseball over the last five

646
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: seven years since he's.

647
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: Been in the league.

648
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: And then Saturday he makes that he gets the big

649
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: hit to bring the Astros up. And then Sunday again

650
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 4: he had a good game and a great defensive play

651
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 4: on the last Torrenza dribbler that thought that was a

652
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 4: guaranteed hit. But that's just that's what good baseball players do.

653
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 4: They go down, they pick themselves up, and we've seen

654
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 4: that a lot of this Mets team this weekend. But

655
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 4: that like that, those two al Tuoa van Bregman especially,

656
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: like that is special what those guys have, what they've

657
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 4: been able to do, that astra team, that dynasty. Altuove

658
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 4: still gets booed Bregmant doesn't.

659
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: That's weird that goes on.

660
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he just like, so they boob Altuve not Bregmany's

661
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 4: like they were on the same team that was good together.

662
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: He couldn't understand.

663
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: And now Tuve publicly is like the one guy they're

664
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 2: all like. He didn't want to do it, he was

665
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: not interested.

666
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: Regan was like, fucking, I'm cheating.

667
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 4: But it's just a good baseball team, good baseball players

668
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 4: and like, like you said, really just good heat check

669
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 4: lit litmus test series for this the Mets team, because

670
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 4: we're riding very high.

671
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: The Friday Night ship was unbelievable. Was crazy Friday Night. Yeah,

672
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: it was cool.

673
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: The Mets kept it under wraps and apparently they said

674
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: they weren't going to do it if they lost, which

675
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 4: is the right way to handle.

676
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stand up and clap for them there. That's

677
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: that's big growth for the New York Mets.

678
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 4: It's major organizational growth by the Mets and not promote

679
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 4: they're they're they're backup in Utilian Fielder's concert and pride.

680
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 2: Night, but they're gonna steal the job from the guy

681
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: they're paying sixty million dollars.

682
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, just like that was like such a high

683
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 4: moment for this team because like you had ta alex

684
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 4: co ont to the Mets, like handing out pride stuff

685
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 4: and like being on the field before like bred that

686
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 4: was great. I have actually many gay friends who I

687
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: wound up at that Mets game, and it was cool

688
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 4: to see them, Like, like, I'm gonna go to this

689
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 4: baseball game because predic and then the concert and fireworks

690
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 4: and Jeff McNeal hitting the homer and just all this

691
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 4: all they should come in together. And then after the

692
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 4: game you have everyone going crazy with the vibes. Social

693
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 4: media was buzzing again. Steve tweets after the game like

694
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 4: I was something real special happening of this team right now.

695
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: Everyone's everyone dancing. And then exactly you get to these

696
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 4: games on Saturday and Sunday and they get blown and

697
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 4: kind of gut wrenching fashion. You're like, Okay, this is

698
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 4: a good moment for everybody. Settled down. Now you're starting

699
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 4: a four game series against Team that's right next to

700
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: the standings that you have to beat. You have another

701
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 4: one over the weekend with someone right next to the

702
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 4: standings that you have to beat. Just refocus, re energize,

703
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 4: get the ship back together because it needs you need to.

704
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 4: The fun stuff is fun, but it's only fun if

705
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 4: you keep winning. Yes, yeah, and I mean shout jose Glass.

706
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 4: By the way, it was amazing three for four on

707
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 4: Saturday in his start.

708
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: He's hitting four twenty five with a nine to ninety ops,

709
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: which is just so funny. He's hit for a high

710
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: average before, so that's actually something that he could just do.

711
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: He could hit three hundred this year for sure, But

712
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: we also know it's it's all with the greatest sal

713
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: I know people are calling for him to play a

714
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: lot more over, Jeff, play the hot hand.

715
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

716
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: Just play the hot hand any chance you can. The

717
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: Glaciers also so good in the field too. He's so

718
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: smooth out there second base, end, third base.

719
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, awesome and he actually it kind of became a

720
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 4: bad spot for the Mets on Saturday because when they

721
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: were winning by the dada, but I think in late

722
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 4: in the game it took out Viento's for Glaciers, and

723
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: then I think that's that spot never came up back

724
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 4: in the other but it was almost almost came up

725
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 4: back in the early timehen the Mets were down, so

726
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 4: it was jumped the gun. But then also you had

727
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 4: the game on Sunday where if Jose Glaciers is playing

728
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 4: third base the actually ending and not Mark Viento's, you

729
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: might have stopped that ground ball. He probably probably does

730
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 4: actual shop the ground ball. It's a hard thing, and

731
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 4: I Vanto is still amazing. Vano's might probably should honestly

732
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 4: be a fucking All Star. So well, that home run

733
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 4: on Saturday was great, but it's just it's a dichonomy.

734
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 4: It's an incomplete team. It's a team that's very it's

735
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: good and not great, and that's how they happens, how

736
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: they were built, and it's just that's we got very high,

737
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 4: we got very low. There was a great tweet that

738
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 4: I sent you overnight. I don't remember it was from

739
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: Mets up before it was in our on our personal

740
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: see if you can find it in your DMS, because

741
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 4: we talked about this Mets team being a five hundred

742
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: team and that being like where they truly lied, and

743
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 4: I just figured they would kind of hang around five

744
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 4: hundred all year. I did not expect the streaks that

745
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: this team would have. I don't think my heart was

746
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 4: even ready for the streaks that this team has put themselves.

747
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 3: On this year.

748
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: Did you find that where? Did you send it to me? Oh?

749
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: I sent it from mets Up to you. You send

750
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: it from mess Up to me, I believe, so. I

751
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: don't know. You might have just shown it to me

752
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: on your phone. I showed you, all right, So I

753
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: have the stretch. I have it right now.

754
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 4: So the mess this year started one five, and then

755
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: they went twelve and three, then they went twelve and

756
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 4: twenty seven, and right now they're in the midst of

757
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 4: a sixteen and six. Yeah, that's insane for that to

758
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: wind up one game under five hundred. It's just it's

759
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 4: pure fucking chaos, and it probably does make it more fun,

760
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 4: but it also makes a team really hard to evaluate internally.

761
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: Super uh Mark Vanos, by the way, I think has

762
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 2: the fourth most home runs among qualified third baseman in

763
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: the nationally. He has more home runs than Alec Boom

764
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: or they might be tied right now. Altboom, I think might.

765
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 4: Have hit his tenth one hit him on Sunday out.

766
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: There's no way Fianto is even qualified though, No, he's

767
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 4: not qualified. That's why, oh I meant among unqualified players.

768
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's so funny.

769
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, And just I want to shout on Nemo two.

770
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 4: He's such a great game on Sunday. It's amazing to

771
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 4: see him blossom into this just fucking monster of a

772
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 4: baseball player that he's been at this point. He was

773
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: so cold when he got moved to third.

774
00:27:59,359 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: In the order.

775
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 4: Yes, his ops dropped seven O eight on June thirteenth.

776
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: You know where's ops is after Sunday's game eight oh two,

777
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: eight fifteen, whoa even higher? Over one hundred points up?

778
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 4: And today exactly was the Mets midway point of the season.

779
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 4: It was the eighty first game and Brandon Demo zampes

780
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 4: for twenty six home ers, thirty doubles, one hundred and

781
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 4: six runs score and one hundred RBIs and ten stone

782
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 4: base And that was with.

783
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 2: A like three week stretch and the rough start to

784
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: the year. So he's like had like a month and

785
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: a half kind of like Francisco Indoor two of just

786
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: like being bad. Yeah, he's I think he started the

787
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: year like Lindor, like one for thirty and then in

788
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 2: the middle of there he just did he just forgot it,

789
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 2: hit for like ten straight good days.

790
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 4: But dude, a monster. He is a fucking stud. Happy

791
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 4: we found this this line of construction that works really

792
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: well together. And now again it's just about just keeping

793
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 4: the head above water and trying to find a way

794
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: to get through this easy stretches. Anthony Tacoma put it wrongfully, horrible,

795
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 4: horrible home and horrible vibes right there on that one.

796
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read the tweet. I'm gonna read the tweet.

797
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 2: Whatmo said. You're gonna get a little medium Marvel here

798
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: on Sunday, one bit of solace with Houston in their

799
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: rear review. The Mets are about to embark on their

800
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: easiest stretch of the schedule also season. Their next eighteen

801
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 2: games will come against the Nationals, Pirates, Rockies, and Marlins,

802
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: four teams that are combined fifty nine games below five hundred.

803
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: Is very important to note that those final two teams

804
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 2: that are mentioned, the Marlins and the Rockies, make up

805
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: the majority of those below five hundred. The Nationals are

806
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: five games under five hundred, they have one less win

807
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: than us, not that big of a deal. And the

808
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: Pirates have the same amount of wins as US with

809
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: two more losses. So in total, the Nationals and Pirates

810
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: combined for eight of those fifty nine games under five hundred.

811
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: Such a stupid, fucking tweet. This is why we hate

812
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: this bullshit from reporters. This is why Tim heaes our.

813
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: Boy, none of this shit.

814
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: And also, the Pirates I believe are in over five

815
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: hundred teams since the teams was called up yep, and

816
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 4: in this stretch against the Nationals and Pirates, and that's

817
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 4: our schedule to face Mackenzie Gore, Jared Jones, and Paulskis.

818
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 4: So these are not exactly cupcake games against two teams

819
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: that are legitimately in the thick of the National League

820
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 4: wildcard race. Just as much as the Mester and I

821
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 4: think of nationally wildcard race, Nationals are taking a step back.

822
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: What yeah, these guys are any buyers where the Mets

823
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 4: figuring it out because the team's weird. But these are

824
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: both young teams with relatively cheap players, like they're probably

825
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: gonna go by. I think the Nationals know the Pirates.

826
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: He has the Pirates. I'm not even kidding. I think

827
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: I might sprinkle them to win the win.

828
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: The series was.

829
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: Saying that if if if I was in the playoffs

830
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: and I ran into the Pirates, I would be scared

831
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: because wall Skins, Jared Jones, Mitch Keller, that's like, that's

832
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: really disgusting one.

833
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: Two three, and we know it's like kind of easy

834
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: to just pull up cheap Hithers. They would I don't know.

835
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 4: They have McCutcheon as a DH, like they just need

836
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 4: a couple of corner guys. Yeah, but Andrew mccutche those

837
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 4: two guys are just talk hitting forever. But just I

838
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 4: hate that vibe because like, this Mets team is down

839
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 4: a position, as down a player on their roster.

840
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: They're not No.

841
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 4: One pitches into the six seventh inning besides Severino, and

842
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: they're still hitting well, but it's clear that they're not

843
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: on a different level than this Nationals or Pirates, seats

844
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 4: the Spider.

845
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: They're looking at each other like, oh, that's what I'm saying.

846
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: The Marlins and Rockies, those two teams.

847
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: But now going into this stretch, this is like the

848
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 4: Mets the Pirates in the National someone is gonna kill

849
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: someone else. Yes, one of those three teams is not

850
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 4: going to be a buyer. It's not going to be

851
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 4: in the playoff race when the stretch is over.

852
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm just it.

853
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to be the Mets, but

854
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 4: it could be the Mets. I hope it's not the Mets.

855
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: So just shame on de Coomo for being like, Okay,

856
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 4: we're good, we're back. These are bad teams are playing. No,

857
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: we still are not that good of a team. We're

858
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: under five hundred.

859
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was bait that that tweet has like two

860
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: hundred thousand views in an hour, So, I mean, he

861
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 2: knows what he's doing. He's getting the clicks. Good for him,

862
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: But god, I fucking hate when people do it. Oh,

863
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: we got the easiest.

864
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: Remember what happened the last time we had the easiest

865
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: stretch of our schedule? What was that? September twenty twenty two.

866
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then last, I think last year in June

867
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 4: two is when we totally fell apart.

868
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: In May.

869
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tigers like Tigers and Red. These guys suck and

870
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 4: then you lose every game, but you never learn.

871
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: You never learned.

872
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead, talk about prospect report. We

873
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: haven't given you guys one in a minute, so we're

874
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: gonna go through a lot of guys. You're getting to

875
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: start off with Jet Williams. Some injury stuff here, basically

876
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: lost season, got the wrist surgery. Doesn't seem like he's

877
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: gonna play it all this year, if even for a second,

878
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: the rest of the year.

879
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: Maybe a few weeks the end of the year, but

880
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: we'll see how he recovers.

881
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: Drew Gilbert is on track to play within the next

882
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: three weeks, which coincide's beautiful with the trade deadline. Wish

883
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: he could have been playing now so he would be

884
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: ready to be called up when the trade deadline comes around.

885
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: Might make it easier to move a Harrison Bader type player,

886
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: but we'll see.

887
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 4: Or he probably would have been up with this team

888
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: with martegoing on the il last week instead of Bang Gamble.

889
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 4: It's a really good chance that that would just just

890
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 4: been Drew Gilbert's audition to be the every day outfielder

891
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: in this team, which would have been great, but now

892
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 4: it just it sucks. They had to strain his hamstering

893
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 4: the first week of the season because he was buzzing

894
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 4: so hard off the end of last year. It's just painful.

895
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 4: But now for updates on players playing. I wanted to

896
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: get the two top prospects out of the way first.

897
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 4: Luisann Helkuna have to lead off with him because if

898
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: you tweet his name, if you're Joe Demayer, if you're

899
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: Michael Mayer, you tweet his name. Bang, fifty thousand pressions, bang,

900
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: bang bang. He's hitting this over this amount of time,

901
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 4: he has a He has a three hundred three seventy

902
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: four to fourth triple slash in his last thirteen games,

903
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 4: all really great, And Louis and Holcuni actually had a

904
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 4: very very solid Jude three hundred three fifty two four

905
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 4: to twenty triple slash, all really good, also very important,

906
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: seven percent walk great, sixteen percent strike out right. If

907
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 4: he can keep those strikeouts and walks where they are,

908
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: the type of hard contact he makes consistently, that's a

909
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 4: good baseball player. But you guys heard that line. Three

910
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: hundred three to fifty two, four to twenty, that's a

911
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 4: seven to seventy two OPS. That was only good for

912
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 4: a one to oh one WRC plus in triple A

913
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 4: over that time. With the league average OPS is right

914
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: around seven to seventy itself. So Acuna is playing well,

915
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: but he's still chasing too much pitches out of strikes

916
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 4: and chasing about thirty four percent of the time. The

917
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 4: league average in major league baseball is about twenty eight percent.

918
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is the minor league. I'm

919
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 4: sure it's higher, but he's chasing more than average, and

920
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 4: he's still not able to lift the ball, and he's

921
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 4: not able to really get to his power. He still

922
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 4: hits the ball hard consistently, a lot of balls in play,

923
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 4: over one hundred miles an hour. He near the top

924
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 4: of triple A in that, which is good because just

925
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 4: a lot of contact, a lot of the balls in play,

926
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 4: and he's fast seven for eleven is stolen base attempts

927
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 4: this month. I think he's up to twenty six dollar

928
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: base on the year down there, which is a great skill.

929
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: But the things that he had to get better at

930
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 4: to take this jump, to go from a guy who's

931
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 4: like a fringy top hundred prospect and a fringy major

932
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 4: league regular to someone who could be a legitimate major

933
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: league impact maker immediately, he still hasn't done that. And

934
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 4: that's kind of where I keep running this problem with

935
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 4: On Helicunya.

936
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: Let me be Devil's advocate here, because you're going hard

937
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: on Akunya and you're you are mentioning things no, no, no,

938
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: he's good.

939
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you're mentioning things like he's got to lift

940
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 2: the ball more there. Sometimes that's just not gonna happen,

941
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: Like maybe he does have to lift the ball more

942
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: like that's something baby has to do because he doesn't

943
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 2: have the athletic ability like a Louis on Helicunya.

944
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: Mason Winn doesn't lift the ball at all.

945
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: And granted he is a killer shortstop lights out over

946
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: there and throws the ball one hundred miles an hour,

947
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: but offensively speaking, Akunya's got way higher ceiling already than

948
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: Mason Win does. Because Mason Win hits the ball like

949
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: a little girl. He doesn't hit the ball hard at all.

950
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 2: So like for Luis on Helicunya, I can see why.

951
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: And to be fair, again, I hate doing this because

952
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 2: I love Jeff friend of the Pod, but we paid

953
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: Jeff mcnial sixty million dollars and he didn't do any

954
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: of that stuff ever, so three more years.

955
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sory, like he didn't do any of that stuff.

956
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: Ever, I'm not saying we cut Jeff McNeil, but the

957
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: idea that Acunya needs to change the hitter he is,

958
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 2: I think is not necessarily fair if he's hitting three hundred,

959
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: Like again, not about it average podcast, but you kind of.

960
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: Have to just go with that at some point. If

961
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: he's hot, he's hot totally.

962
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 4: But my points with the guy like Cocunya where like

963
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 4: he changes his value prop a lot because he does

964
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 4: hit the ball hard by actually getting to like even

965
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 4: fifteen home runs a year, where right now he's not

966
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 4: he's not even he's not even.

967
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: Ten running a year. Guy.

968
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 4: And if he's not saying home running your guy and

969
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 4: his approach isn't that great, that's just probably not a

970
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 4: major league regular.

971
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: That's my point.

972
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 4: Like, I still think he's a valuable player to have

973
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 4: on a roster. I still love my comp of like

974
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 4: of Dominican with Marorfield. That's that's like, that's what we're doing.

975
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: Well.

976
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 4: I forgot the Fanzel always. I always think they're Dominican

977
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: because I remember Ernie got me the Venezuela. I was like,

978
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 4: can you give me a van zuela Jerse and you're

979
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 4: down there. He was like, yeah, totally, he comes back

980
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 4: when a coon your jersey. If you're kidding me, I'm

981
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 4: not gonna wear this.

982
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: I hate this guy. Yeah, round, not.

983
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 4: Louis on Hell's round with jerseys before the trade. But

984
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 4: something else relevant about what's going on Louise on Hell

985
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 4: in the minor right now, in the miners, right now,

986
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 4: My brain just stopped working for a second. God, he's

987
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: not playing second base regularly, that's the big He hasn't

988
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 4: played second base in the week. He has thirty seven

989
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 4: games played this year at at short stop, nineteen center field,

990
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 4: and eighteen second base, and actually it was one more

991
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 4: twenty short center fields. He plays center fields Snday afternoon

992
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 4: before those stats updated. So the Mets still don't even

993
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 4: because that also hurts his value if he becomes a

994
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 4: second basement long term compared to shortstopper a center fielder,

995
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 4: and talk about Harrison Beata getting traded, that maybe makes

996
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 4: some sense too for him to go up. If you

997
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 4: could defensively play center field, it makes a lot of

998
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 4: these offensive deficiencies not feel as important anymore.

999
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, because Harri's a b Beata. I know he's

1000
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: like hitting well good now yeah, he's doing well, but

1001
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: like we know, he's not much of a hitter. Really

1002
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, bethn le gaverg's all

1003
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: he has to do.

1004
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 4: When you're a fantastic defensive out exactly Cooney might be,

1005
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 4: or he might be a good shortstop and a short

1006
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 4: step doesn't matter as much for the Mets, but that's

1007
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 4: where he's playing right now, that's where he has the

1008
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: most value.

1009
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: So, speaking of another prospect we got during the trade

1010
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 2: deadline last year, Ryan Clifford, What a weird season this

1011
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: is because he's got an eight thirty ops he says,

1012
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: one seventy five average, nine home runs, eight doubles, three singles.

1013
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: Like I'd saying, what do we even do with this?

1014
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: What do I do with this information? I've never seen

1015
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: anything like it.

1016
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 4: He's not getting chiey, he's up there taking hacks and

1017
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 4: so we talked about it a lot with him.

1018
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: It's extreme patience.

1019
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 4: We thought that that was a Brooklyn thing because we

1020
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 4: know that contact for left handed hitters in Brooklyn isn't

1021
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 4: that valuable. Ball just dies in the wind on the beach,

1022
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 4: on the literally the fucking beach. Cyclones play on, but

1023
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 4: the patients has come with him back to double a

1024
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: now where between his walks and his strikeouts they almost

1025
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 4: account for fifty percent of his play appearances. That's a

1026
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 4: high number, and like walks in the minor leagues don't

1027
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 4: translate super well to walks in the major leagues or

1028
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 4: strikeouts kind of do, especially swinging strike rate, which actually

1029
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: didn't check that for Clifford.

1030
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: I'll check that now.

1031
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 4: But it's this ultra passive approach where maybe again it's

1032
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 4: just him waiting for these pitches you know we can crush.

1033
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 4: But then it's also that's not the method that's going

1034
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 4: to keep working. He's also still twenty years old, and

1035
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: it's amazing where he's gone here. And I know mister

1036
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 4: Cliff's going to be listening to this because he listens

1037
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 4: to everything. So hello, mister Clifford. We think your son's

1038
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 4: a great basby player. Everything that Ryan Clifford, mister Clifford

1039
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 4: is on to whither being like great player, great player,

1040
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 4: great player.

1041
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Which is awesome.

1042
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 4: Have your dad advocate for you, like that's incredible, But

1043
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 4: I want to get to swing strike rate on Clifford.

1044
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 4: Here scrolling bad podcasting can't find where is it's not

1045
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 4: his fangers s pagers just to think I don't know

1046
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 4: how to find that whatever. I'll figure that out some point.

1047
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 4: But it's a very weird approach right now. But it's

1048
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: still twenty years old in Double A, so it's not

1049
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 4: that big of a deal.

1050
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: All right, here's your chance, James Brandon sprot go for it,

1051
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: dog dog.

1052
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 4: He's just fucking menace one nine to four era in

1053
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 4: Double A, twenty eight point one strikeout rates, six point

1054
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 4: five percent walk rate, and he's been sitting. He's been

1055
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: getting to one hundred regularly in his starts, and he

1056
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 4: maxed out at one hundred one point five miles an

1057
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 4: hour gross one hundred one point five miles an hour.

1058
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 4: It's fucking insane. It's like it is the Christian Scott

1059
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 4: pathroom last year, where people are kind of talking about

1060
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 4: him maybe jumping up and getting to the major league

1061
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 4: at some point. I think it's gonna be this full

1062
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 4: season Double A, exactly Christian Scott did last year, and

1063
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 4: just be ready for an early summer as long as

1064
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: everything goes well. Brandon sprote jump into major leagues next

1065
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: year because he's super fucking good. He's the he's one

1066
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 4: of the five six best pitching prospects in all the

1067
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 4: base part now hands down.

1068
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: James James. Find you someone that loves Brandon sprote like

1069
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: like James loves it. Pitching lab, Baby, we didn't shout

1070
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: out James stars.

1071
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 2: Speaking of the pitching lab, Noel MacLean coming off his

1072
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 2: best start in double A five innings, five strikeouts, a

1073
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: walk in one earned run.

1074
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: He hasn't had those like eye popping results that we

1075
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: saw in.

1076
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: Brooklyn in a ball which where you're like, oh my god,

1077
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: Nolan McLean, this guy is so fucking sick. But twenty

1078
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: six percent k rate, six point two percent walk rate,

1079
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: that right there is really really good for a guy

1080
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: who is still a two way player as well and

1081
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: still really learning how to be a starting pitcher. He

1082
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: was a reliever in college, so this is all still

1083
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: brand new stuff to him. And if we could see

1084
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: a lot more of the numbers of fortunately Binghamton doesn't

1085
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: get a lot of stat cast stuff, I'm sure we

1086
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: could be a little more excited than we are.

1087
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: But we are very excited totally. And uh, I got

1088
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: I gotta check back up my buddy.

1089
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 4: Prospect Hill and see if he's been charging these games

1090
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 4: so I want to know how much McLean's working in

1091
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 4: that third pitch if he's just going fastball demon sweep

1092
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 4: or fastball tam and sweep and see change up to

1093
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 4: see color. That's kind of the relevance with Nolan McLean

1094
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 4: right now. The next gime we're going to talk about

1095
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 4: is how much you're mixing and other stuff. Also, as

1096
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 4: a hitter, looks very over mashed. Maybe should maybe he

1097
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 4: shouldn't keep going because he has a fifty percent strikeer rate.

1098
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 4: Again in Double A, where these are actually guys we're

1099
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 4: going to be in the major league compared to Brooklyn, Well,

1100
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 4: these guys probably might not be in the major league.

1101
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of stak here for him as

1102
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 4: a pitcher. Keep hitting if you think it helps the process.

1103
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 4: But just I don't know, Maybe this is the last year.

1104
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 4: No mcle I don't know. Jonah Tongue, Jonah tom Man,

1105
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 4: John Tong's getting together a little bit in Brooklyn's coming together.

1106
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 4: It's coming off his best start down there in Brooklyn.

1107
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 4: Six innings, eleven strikeouts, one walk, one er and run.

1108
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 4: He had a huge blow up on June first, where

1109
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 4: I don't even think he got out of the first inning,

1110
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 4: But since then he's really found the groove in Brooklyn,

1111
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: and I'm happy about that because Brooklyn is an easy

1112
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 4: place to pitch. Definitely want to see Jonah Tong not

1113
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 4: just pitch well, but dominate there and stay on this

1114
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 4: fast track that we thought he put himself on Saint Lucie,

1115
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 4: but the four star since his blow up, would you

1116
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 4: cclude him? Not so good starts in between Boston just

1117
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: very good ones four games, twenty one innings, twenty nine strikeouts,

1118
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 4: eight walks, three point zero zero exactly.

1119
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: You are right.

1120
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 4: That's a guy with his curve ball, with his fastball,

1121
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 4: with developing I think Jaral sly their color whatever he's

1122
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 4: got going there. But again we can't see that because

1123
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 4: he's in Brooklyn right now. We don't got this information

1124
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 4: a lot. Really confident Jodan Tong. I had someone I

1125
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 4: don't remember I because I met someone at a game

1126
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 4: or like on the street or something. Maybe it's Twitter

1127
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 4: DM there was like, I've been seeing anything about John

1128
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 4: Tong reisling, what's going on with it? I was like, yeah,

1129
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 4: because if the Mets prospects people can't get the impression

1130
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 4: they're not Gonnaweet about the guys playing relay, So it's like,

1131
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 4: oh my god, Joe talk Lovestrek gots bang twenty thousand

1132
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 4: pressions back. But yeah, if you're not hearing about one

1133
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: of these prospects, and if we're not doing the prospect

1134
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 4: reports regularly, it's probably because they're not playing well.

1135
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: He could safe to assume that on Twitter. Correct.

1136
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: More guys on the pitching side here, we got Blade

1137
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 2: Tidwell and Dom ham Will, both pitching in Triple A,

1138
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 2: both having a weird Triple A season.

1139
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: I think for both of them in different ways.

1140
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: Were like they just elimited the eliminated the ABS right

1141
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: from Triple A games. But there's the challenge system is

1142
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: still in place, so like, technically ABS still exists, but

1143
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 2: only if you challenge a call Blade Tidwell, it's been weird.

1144
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 2: He like strikes out some guys, but then he walks five,

1145
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 2: and he also doesn't go very long into games. His

1146
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: velo's also been all over the place with the fastball.

1147
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: He's thrown up to almost ninety nine miles an hour

1148
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 2: this year, which is pretty impressive, but it's sitting ninety

1149
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: three ninety six at times, just a little inconsistent and

1150
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: maybe again, this is just part of the growing of

1151
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 2: a minor league pitcher. Of like, he relatively has flown

1152
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: through the minor league ranks like since the Mets got him.

1153
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: So I think at times this year when we were

1154
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: talking about Blade, I was getting really excited, like, Wow,

1155
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: if he keeps us up, we're gonna see him at

1156
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: the major league level. I think it's another one of

1157
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 2: those like's slow down, Let's just let him work through

1158
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 2: his stuff, get better.

1159
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: Trust the pitching lab. Yeah.

1160
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 4: Blade also is a fun one because his secondaries look

1161
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 4: really good, like slytherer color, change up.

1162
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: These are all legitimate pitches.

1163
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 4: But he just goes up and down so much by

1164
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 4: the fastball philosophy, because we've talked about this thing that

1165
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 4: he has this steep action on his fastball. He's a

1166
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 4: big guy and he comes at you downhill with it

1167
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,479
Speaker 4: and if it's ninety six ninety five, like he's crushing people.

1168
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 4: But on the start Sunday where he walks, he walks five,

1169
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: struck out, seven to four to two thirds, endings only

1170
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 4: a lots two hard at balls because he's sill, very

1171
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 4: good limiting hard contact. That fastball only sat ninety three,

1172
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 4: ninety four, So it's just a start by start thing

1173
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 4: for Blade where he has that max VELOSSI of ninety nine,

1174
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 4: So him sitting ninety five ninety six seems super attainable.

1175
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 4: But it's just not something he's maybe able to do

1176
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 4: just consistently. And maybe that's just maybe that's just getting stronger,

1177
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 4: maybe it's just conditioning.

1178
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: We don't know. Yeah, I wonder.

1179
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can explain this properly, but

1180
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: I wonder if there's like a difference in almost how

1181
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: much height he gets on like when he's throwing harder

1182
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: or not.

1183
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: It feels like IVB.

1184
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get not necessarily, but like because like we said,

1185
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 2: he does throw downhill a lot, right, So I wonder

1186
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: if when he's hitting ninety six ninety seven, when he's

1187
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 2: hitting those, if he's getting on top of the baseball more,

1188
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: and when he's lower he's actually not getting on top

1189
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: of it more, which might would.

1190
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: That be better for IVB?

1191
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 2: And I understanding that correctly, if he's not on top

1192
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 2: of the baseball, that should theoretically give him a better IVB.

1193
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 4: I guess theoretical, But his IVB also I don't think

1194
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 4: matters as much because of how he releases the ball

1195
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 4: and he's so over the top and downhill and he's

1196
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 4: not a big he's not a big high in his

1197
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 4: own guy. Like he keeps that fastball low. He almost

1198
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 4: treats his four seamer like a sinker where he gets

1199
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 4: a lot of weak contact with Like that is that's

1200
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 4: like his jam pitch.

1201
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: It's heavy pitch.

1202
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 4: I'll ask friends of the podcast TJ stats about that

1203
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 4: and I'll see what he has in his day that

1204
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 4: maybe about blades like release points. Yeah, with the loss,

1205
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 4: he's if we can find something, well, I'll have that

1206
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 4: ready for the next episode.

1207
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: Dom Hamill just came off his probably best start of

1208
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: the year. He went seven innings in Triple A nine

1209
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: Case three and runs one walk again. Super weird because

1210
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 2: Triple As just changes the rules during the season then

1211
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 2: they do, they have their own made up stuff. The

1212
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: data still likes him. He still has four pitches that

1213
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 2: seem to be pretty okay. He's a guy I think

1214
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna see at the major league level at some point.

1215
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: It's it's been a while that we've now had, but

1216
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: I think he deserves a shot here.

1217
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 4: It's twenty five years old too, and if we do

1218
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 4: make trades out of clear up forty the men roster spots,

1219
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 4: which will clear up spots of these pictures you get

1220
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 4: rid of Seaum and I a pitcher will take that

1221
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 4: forty man roster spot, and that could be Hanil, but

1222
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, he's probably not gonna be Sproke.

1223
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: But that's just that's the concept there.

1224
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 4: And the data still likes his fastball, still likes to sweeper,

1225
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 4: still likes to change up, still like his curveball. So

1226
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 4: I mean that's like, I don't care at all about

1227
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 4: like your er n the mind. No that that to

1228
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 4: me doesn't matter all you're alreadyr batting average. I really

1229
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 4: don't give a shit, Like I just want to see

1230
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 4: if you're doing the things that are like important, which

1231
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 4: is like how well your pitch is great? How hard

1232
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 4: do you hit the ball, how often you striking out?

1233
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 4: How many have often you Tracey pitches out of his

1234
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 4: own A guy who does all that really fucking well

1235
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 4: favor of the podcast getting hot in the real prospect circles.

1236
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: Now, he who's Byas called up to Brooklyn so Claus

1237
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: for a buddy Byas. That's a man right there. We

1238
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: love his huse bias.

1239
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 4: Four games of Brooklyn, nothing really going on so far

1240
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 4: hitting two ninety four, but he was just too good

1241
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 4: for Saint Lucy. And now he's a real opportunity in

1242
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 4: Brooklyn to to put himself in a different a different

1243
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 4: level of prospect than we thought he was.

1244
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: Again, what a shame. We don't get this a get

1245
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: eddy eggs veils or anything from Brooklyn. I know, it's terrible.

1246
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 2: It's so annoying, Like I'm so excited about this guy's

1247
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 2: growth and I and now it just I don't know

1248
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: what happens until someone tells me something that I'm saying.

1249
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 4: We have like a year and a half now for him,

1250
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 4: so he winds up triple a two years until we

1251
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 4: get dated again. But another guy similar, Nick Morby, though

1252
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 4: forty games in Brooklyn, he's cooled off, still is having

1253
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 4: a good year, playing good defensive center field using his

1254
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 4: legs two ninety three, eighty three seventy triple slash. So

1255
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 4: not a lot of power there too, and we've not

1256
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 4: and when he was in Saint Luci we also he

1257
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 4: didn't hit the ball especially hard, more of just like

1258
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 4: a twitch he's so twitch stuff.

1259
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: They got find a way gam some power. But again,

1260
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: so young, just get bigger, that's me.

1261
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 4: We also just don't know. We don't fucking know. In

1262
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 4: Brooklyn Fingleton, we got nothing. We got no information. We're

1263
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 4: telling you when you guys can find online, we're si

1264
00:45:58,239 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 4: happy to tell you we.

1265
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: Got information on Triple though, Brett Batty might be the

1266
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 2: best Triple A for ever. I mean, he's he's gonna

1267
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: be hanging up his jersey in Syracuse till the end

1268
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 2: of time. It's it's it's so frustrating because we love

1269
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 2: Brett Batty and I'm like, there he is, this is

1270
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 2: Brett Baty. And then he comes up to the major

1271
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 2: sit You're like, no, where do he go?

1272
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: Like where are you? Brett? We miss you. In the

1273
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: eighteen games he's.

1274
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: Played at Triple A this year, eight four doubles, he's

1275
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: played five games at second base.

1276
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 4: So Sunday again he played second base.

1277
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: So it was four.

1278
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 2: So I gave a little bit of everybody relaxed, like,

1279
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know how real this second base thing,

1280
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: how quickly it's gonna materialize, if it ever does. But

1281
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: they are trying it, they are trying it. It's just

1282
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 2: it's really hard to turn two, like, and I think

1283
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 2: that's gonna be probably the biggest thing for bet Baty

1284
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 2: because you used to be able to put Mike Musakis

1285
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,479
Speaker 2: and Max Munsey and play those guys at second base

1286
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 2: because you can play the shift and play him in

1287
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: shallow right field. Now you have to be able to

1288
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 2: turn two as a second baseman. That kind of kills it.

1289
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 2: But he's a good enough athlete where I think he

1290
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 2: could learn it least, and his hands and his feet

1291
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 2: have gunn so much better over the last year.

1292
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: I think he can too.

1293
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 4: But like you're you're probably looking at like who's the

1294
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 4: who's the best defensive second basement? We think that he

1295
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 4: could become like Jonathan India, like a much worse versan.

1296
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: Jonathan India is too smooth.

1297
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: That's that's such a circle of Jonathan India. I don't know,

1298
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: Like the best second base when he could become defensively

1299
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: is like probably Max Muncie, Like, I don't know, I

1300
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: guess that's true, Miyah Daniel Murphy.

1301
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: I guess Flores, I don't know.

1302
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 4: Just it's it's just it's such a shame three years

1303
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 4: these prospect reports we're back talking about Brett Bay.

1304
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:30,479
Speaker 1: It fucking sucks.

1305
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 4: But someone who I'm really excited to talk about, someone

1306
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 4: who's like the next big Mets prospect. Probably watch the

1307
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 4: next two guys actually, Simon Wan in Boston Borrow, Simon

1308
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 4: Want is in the complex with the Mets right now.

1309
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 4: Boston Borrow is a Saint Lucy. Simon Wan is simply

1310
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 4: too good for this complex. I think the Saint Lucie

1311
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 4: team is too strong right now that he doesn't really

1312
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 4: have a spot. But seven home runs, twenty three RBIs,

1313
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 4: eight to fifty nine ops and ten percent walk right down.

1314
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 4: They're hitting the ball very hard. Simo Wan famous in

1315
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 4: the spring train for I think hitting tw baseballs over

1316
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 4: one hundred tien miles an hour against double A pitchering.

1317
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: So this is a guy that we get, we should

1318
00:47:58,520 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: be excited about. In Boston.

1319
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 4: Borrow sneaky draft pick. Last year the Mets drafted, they

1320
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 4: drafted underslot, paid him overslide, nice, ten percent walkway playing

1321
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 4: third and shortstop with ven fifty five oh ps. I

1322
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 4: think as a nineteen year old in Saint Lucy, so

1323
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 4: relevant as a good athlete, big kid. Good to see

1324
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 4: him him playing well down there.

1325
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and he's been playing third base and shortstop.

1326
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,240
Speaker 2: Mets seem to just have a lot of those positions,

1327
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 2: the third bas and shortstop, which that's that's what I want.

1328
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 2: I don't want the Mets drafting first basement and second basement.

1329
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 2: I want everyone the organization to be a centerfielder, shortstop

1330
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: or that's it. Yeah, and then and then you know what,

1331
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 2: they fray off from there, but that's where everyone starts. Yes,

1332
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: so good on those guys doing well. Eighth round pick

1333
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 2: Boston Barrel last year, so that's really impressive. I want

1334
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 2: to talk about some first round picks of the New

1335
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: York Mets and some and some other former big prospects.

1336
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: Kevin Paraday, it's it's tough. We probably should have known

1337
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 2: when he plummeted in the draft that there was something

1338
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 2: that we were missing. I'll give James his flowers here.

1339
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 2: He said he's Kevin Plowecki. He's like, that's like his

1340
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: best case scenario. And it's kind of feeling like that

1341
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 2: he's just not really hitting at a high enough level

1342
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: to warn any sort of excitement whatsoever.

1343
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 4: No, not, He's striking at thirty percent in the time

1344
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 4: when his whole call on car was supposed to be

1345
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 4: like coming in his advanced hither and let the defense

1346
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 4: kind of catch up with it, and he's just he's

1347
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 4: just not like that.

1348
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: It's a shame. It's but again, it felt like that.

1349
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 4: And the Mets knew they could sign him at costs

1350
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 4: in that draft with the two first round picks, so

1351
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 4: that was them kind of playing with their bonus pool

1352
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 4: a little bit. And we're getting up in the LMB

1353
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 4: draft soon. You should probably find someone who could do

1354
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 4: that for non for a drafting.

1355
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: We got to think on that. Weuld probably find someone.

1356
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: And Maddie's not draft guy. I remember that's draft not

1357
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: draft guy. I'll find So I got draft people who

1358
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: maybe don't hate me at too much. Yeah, maybe maybe

1359
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: they do. We'll get someone.

1360
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 4: They're all next, but it's just, yeah, the product things annoying.

1361
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 4: And then another one, Colin Howe another thirty percent strike

1362
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 4: out rate just looks a little overwhelmed. I don't know,

1363
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 4: is he he's he Saint Lucie. He's a complex.

1364
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: He is Saint Lucy.

1365
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 2: Uh So we can get some numbers on him if

1366
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: we if we dive deeper, But right now, again, striking

1367
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,479
Speaker 2: out thirty percent of the time just looks a little

1368
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 2: overmatched and that was something I'm mad at he told us,

1369
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: or like they like the build and the frame the

1370
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 2: structure of what Colin how can do, but there does

1371
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 2: need to be growth of him as a baseball player.

1372
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: And again probably why he dropped a little bit too,

1373
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 1: definitely and just paying him good bit money.

1374
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 2: But yeah, this was mock to go like top ten

1375
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: on most of the Diamondbacks a lot last year and

1376
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 2: he fell right into the Mets laughed, laugh, and it

1377
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 2: was like, oh shit, and then you see this then

1378
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 2: not giving up on him. He's fucking nineteen years old

1379
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 2: and child so he's probably living on his own for

1380
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 2: the first time ever.

1381
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: In his life. Like there's just younger, younger than our intern.

1382
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah literally, so like I'm sure there's a lot of

1383
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 2: changes going on, but just to note he is struggling

1384
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 2: big time. And then last former big prospect that the

1385
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 2: Mets had, our sweet Prince Alex Ramirez, just it's just

1386
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 2: not happening now. This is what's fucked up. He's walking

1387
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: ten percent of the time. He never walked, but he's

1388
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: just not doing anything else.

1389
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 4: No, I was I was gonna push back on you,

1390
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 4: like being critical because I do think that there's this

1391
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 4: is the most encouraged probably been about him, like a

1392
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 4: full year where he's he seems to just be a

1393
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 4: demon on the Baits past twenty five seals and sixty

1394
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 4: five games at Binghamson, which is insane. And also just

1395
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 4: the fact that he is finding those walks. The strikers

1396
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 4: haven't balloon at a much higher level. And he's twenty

1397
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 4: one in Double A, which is like a twenty three

1398
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 4: year old league. So it's like, you can I've heard

1399
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 4: someone's research on this that for every year below the

1400
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 4: average age, you can basically tack on like ten to

1401
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 4: fifteen points of WRC plus be about what your true

1402
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 4: talent is. So if you have twenty five points WRC

1403
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 4: plus and he becomes like a one ten guy, like

1404
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 4: it's still that's still not great, But that's still a

1405
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 4: guy who who is playing center field, who actually might

1406
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 4: be able to handle that position. Again, it's they're yo

1407
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 4: yoing him so hard if you can handle field now

1408
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 4: and we just don't know, but like they keep throwing

1409
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 4: him out there. I think that's relevant, so there might

1410
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 4: still be Again, this is not gonna be superstar anymore.

1411
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 4: This is not going to be like a top twenty prospect,

1412
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 4: but there might still be like a useful big leaguer

1413
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 4: in here, a guy who a guy who becomes Tyrone Taylor.

1414
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: You don't have to go trade for Tyrone. I was

1415
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: just about to say that.

1416
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 4: Damn, that's what I'm saying. It's like a good athlete,

1417
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 4: guy who can play center, but looks really good in

1418
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 4: a corner, fast as hell steel bases and run into

1419
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 4: one now and again, like and Tyron Taylor's what thirty now? Yeah,

1420
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 4: I think by the time ninety years Alex Mirros are

1421
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 4: probably put on some weight and adds a power to

1422
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 4: that frame and have a lot more. And there's just

1423
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 4: the kind of things that good organizations do.

1424
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: So you don't have to go pay for your backup outfield.

1425
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: You just have your back up outfield.

1426
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we knew the farm system was depleted from the

1427
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: old organization to how they ran it, so at least

1428
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 2: at least we got some guys there. And then the

1429
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: last and final bit of prospect news in this lengthy

1430
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 2: prospect report, Christian Scott allegedly allegedly.

1431
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,640

Speaker 3: as long as I can remember, just like absolute freak

1463
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 3: Mets fan, Like they've been my favorite team for as

1464
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 3: long as I've been alive, really, and so I'm really

1465
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: excited to be here able to contribute to this now.

1466
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 5: I'm currently a senior at Paul the University.

1467
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 3: I know James said that last time, working on becoming

1468
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 3: a baseball broadcaster, doing some play by play this summer

1469
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 3: as an intern.

1470
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 5: So just trying to keep working and keep grinding, keep

1471
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 5: getting better.

1472
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:56,479
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, we love all right, Matt Cousin, take it away,

1473
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 4: give us all right.

1474
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 3: So I kind of want to go back to Friday

1475
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 3: Night with the whole scenes after Friday Night's game with

1476
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 3: the Glaciers performing OMG on its release day, and how

1477
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 3: the vibes are just so high after that, and obviously

1478
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 3: the people on social media talking about the Mets and

1479
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 3: the Knicks with this whole power of friendship, and the

1480
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 3: Mets are high school musical in their way to wins.

1481
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 3: And I kind of think that even though they lost

1482
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 3: these last two games in sort of a heartbreaking way,

1483
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 3: I think that the vibes in the clubhouse are not

1484
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 3: going to be shaken at all. And I think that

1485
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 3: all sort of culminates with the Jeff McNeil three run Homer.

1486
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 3: The struggling Jeff McNeil, who has jose Igalacias coming for

1487
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 3: his playing time, couldn't get in the dugout fast enough

1488
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 3: to go hold up the OMG sign and pose and

1489
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 3: have just an iconic picture which I'm gonna flash up

1490
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 3: during editing.

1491
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 5: For YouTube that everyone can see. And so it's just

1492
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 5: huge to see that supporting a direct competitor for his

1493
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 5: playing time, and that the team is just so close knit,

1494
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 5: and that he's willing to support the vibe the way

1495
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 5: they are. Also note OMG by Candalita peaked at number

1496
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 5: twelve this morning on iTunes Top one hundred now, So

1497
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 5: I'd say just keep keep streaming OMG, keep the vibes up,

1498
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 5: and just stay hot going into July into the All

1499
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 5: Star break.

1500
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,919
Speaker 4: The biggest thing with OMG, I think that was great,

1501
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 4: Matt Mini. Matt, I think you even had a couple

1502
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 4: couple more seconds on the top and to keep doing

1503
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 4: the mat minutes every Sunday, and that's gonna have just

1504
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 4: a minute of creative free think play times, see whatever

1505
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 4: you can do with the people out there. But the song,

1506
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 4: OHMG is fucking sick. So it's an amazing song. This

1507
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 4: wouldn't be such a phenomenon. I think if this song

1508
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 4: was mint, if I think the all teams like this

1509
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 4: song is amazing, I'm always.

1510
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 2: Like literally listening to it on ironically, like I'm like

1511
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 2: taking the shower, I'm like, i gotta put on OMG,

1512
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 2: Like this song is really good because normally, like there's

1513
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: there's been a bunch of other players on different teams.

1514
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: I've made songs like Joan Mancotta made a song this

1515
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 2: Astra Personal is actually a banger as well. People just

1516
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 2: don't know about that one as much. Pedro Strop made music,

1517
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: Jose Reyes made music, Marcus Stroman makes music. Like there's

1518
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of other players that make music. This is,

1519
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 2: by far, I think one of the best player made

1520
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 2: songs that I've heard.

1521
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 3: I started listening to it like games as a hype up,

1522
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 3: sort of like Babo Riley if you're a Ranger fan.

1523
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 4: I also know these Mets like culture things like really

1524
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 4: permeate the rest of the world. When my roomates who

1525
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 4: don't know anything about baseball start to asking me about it.

1526
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 4: Saturday morning, my roommates who comes the kitchen, He's like,

1527
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 4: you have to tell me what's going on with this

1528
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 4: Mets song, Like I need the backstory of this. And

1529
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, well this guy is a music maker.

1530
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 4: And he was like, maybe not gonna retire, He's gonna

1531
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 4: not play anymore. He didn't make team as spring training,

1532
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 4: but then he kept grinding and then he came up

1533
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 4: and team started playing the song and it really starts

1534
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 4: lik it and now it's just came into this whole

1535
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 4: incredible thing. It's it's hard to explain that someone that's

1536
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 4: not a Mets fan and makeup sound not psycholic, insane,

1537
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 4: but just a Mets moment that like us, and even

1538
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 4: people who are at the game on Friday probably never

1539
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 4: forget if they were there and we're able to watch

1540
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 4: that performance happen live after that big win.

1541
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 2: Just really hope it doesn't turn into the Timmy Trumpets

1542
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,439
Speaker 2: piasco that we talked exactly overdoing it, overdoing it. But Matt,

1543
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 2: thank you so much for the Matt minute. We are

1544
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 2: now going to get into the Nationals preview here we

1545
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 2: play them. Like you said, I think seven of the

1546
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 2: next twelve games or eleven games we play against the Nationals.

1547
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 4: Seven games in the next eleven days. Also, one more

1548
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 4: thing I want to talk about, just the vibes from

1549
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 4: Friday real quick. So apparently after the game on Friday,

1550
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 4: David Lennon tweeted this out DP David Lennon legend the

1551
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 4: Mets like get caught a raccoon inside the tunnels. Oh

1552
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 4: my on Friday night with the vibes insane and they

1553
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 4: he said it was the size of a border Collie.

1554
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: Maybe there was a raccoon. Maybe there was a raccoon.

1555
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: Who knows, Wait, the size of a border Collie.

1556
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 4: That's what he said in the tweet. Raccoons are dope.

1557
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 4: There's some huge raccoon the outskirts of New York City. Yeah,

1558
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 4: it's not a huge dog.

1559
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: It's a dog. It's like a fifty pound dog.

1560
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty pound raccoon could take a life. That thing

1561
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 2: is the matyor of New York City. I just give

1562
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 2: it that with him and the rats, they run the city.

1563
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 4: I would love to have a fifty pound raccoon, like

1564
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 4: right here, just like holding domesticated clean I'd love to

1565
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 4: just have a I'm so deep into raccoons.

1566
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: Wait, they're everywhere.

1567
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 2: Two things about raccoons before we get going into this one.

1568
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 2: When I went to the University of St. Andrews, one

1569
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 2: of my cousin's friends has a pet raccoon, not in St. Andrews,

1570
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 2: but like back home, and I saw the videos of it.

1571
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: They got little hands.

1572
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: They can like just hold. They're amazing. They're so cool

1573
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: and that now my TikTok is all just pet raccoons.

1574
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: I gotta say this. They're just like significantly cooler cats.

1575
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: They're awesome.

1576
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 4: They have opposable thumbs. I got hip to the to

1577
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 4: the raccoon game.

1578
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: In college.

1579
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 4: My one room and I were just we were really

1580
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 4: into the idea of getting an exotic pet because that's

1581
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 4: just what you think when you're twenty years old, you

1582
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 4: can handle that. And then like we just wound up

1583
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 4: skateed lizards. Yeah, I love Manny man Us the Goat.

1584
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 4: But we got hit because we saw a video of

1585
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 4: raccoon sweeping, like a broad sweeping sweeping.

1586
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: And when you live in Ohio. If you go on

1587
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,479
Speaker 1: Ohio Craigslist, people are.

1588
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 4: Selling exotic animals lesson right, we have their finger on

1589
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 4: the button to get a domesticated, de smell offied skunk.

1590
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: We were, oh, that's crazy. We we look deeply into it.

1591
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 4: Raccoon was the dream, but we were gonna sell for

1592
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 4: a skunk and we wound up kaiwashing the whole plan.

1593
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 4: But raccoons are amazing there. Ever, I think they're big

1594
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 4: pets in like China, because all all these raccoon memes

1595
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 4: have Chinese texts.

1596
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, I saw him eat jello. They were just

1597
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 2: eating jello cubes and they're just like slurping it up

1598
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 2: like a little dude.

1599
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: You're hanging out. This is awesome.

1600
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 4: Rols are just like really fucking cute.

1601
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: They got nice little faces, little animals when they're not

1602
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: rabbit yeah.

1603
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, when they're not rabbing good rifling through trash. My

1604
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 4: one uncle in South Brooklyn a couple of years ago

1605
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 4: he found a full found raccoon's just living in his walls. Whoa,

1606
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 4: they were just like missing food. Cabins were open. He

1607
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 4: thought it was like his two grown adult sons just

1608
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 4: we're getting up and eating in the middle of the

1609
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 4: night and then found out that all these rack family

1610
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 4: raccoons are living in their walls.

1611
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: Dang, all right, well the raccoon. It's come full full circle.

1612
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 2: Now everybody should go out and get a pet raccoon.

1613
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead and do this Nationals preview

1614
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: here as we're coming up on an hour. The Nationals

1615
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 2: have been playing not as good baseball as they were

1616
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 2: when we first were well, I guess we beat them.

1617
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 2: They played amazing. Now they're playing poorly again. They've lost

1618
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 2: I think seven of their last ten games. That's at

1619
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: least what MLB dot Com is telling me. But there

1620
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 2: are some things to talk about with this team. Jesse

1621
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 2: Winker is back. I mean, he's just a good baseball player.

1622
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 2: C J Abrams kind of back too. He got a

1623
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 2: little bit cold, getting really hot again. One forty one

1624
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 2: ops plus right now. Lane Thomas since coming back, has

1625
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 2: been really hot. A guy that James has been very

1626
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 2: high on for years and years and years, and now

1627
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 2: he's just he did the thing. He got traded by

1628
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 2: the Cardinals as an outfielder and he's become a very

1629
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 2: good player. That's what goes on. They also got Harold Ramirez.

1630
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 2: They got him play and they got him from the race.

1631
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: You know, he's a good little ball player. But the

1632
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 2: real conversation is on the pitching side, because the Nationals

1633
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: are a little stupid, but they might just be stupid

1634
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 2: enough where it's working. Because Jake Irvin really good pitcher.

1635
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: They might have turned the corner.

1636
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 4: I always like to joke about the team to have

1637
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 4: excel and and don't have Excel and we use the

1638
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 4: Nationals ar team that like kind of is known around

1639
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 4: the league is not being that smart. But all of

1640
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 4: their pitchers are kind of pitching over for the Skis

1641
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 4: right now. It's turned them into a legitimate team. I'm

1642
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 4: not gonna say they're a playoff caliber team, but they're

1643
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 4: like the actual team now, which is not something they

1644
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 4: could have said. And Jake Irvan's been amazing. Jake Ivan's

1645
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 4: been kind of going to see him. Yes, well, it's

1646
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 4: a four game series and Patrick Corbin pitched on Sunday, sadly,

1647
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 4: so we're gonna get see everybody except Patrick Corble.

1648
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: Which just the one guy who's terrible.

1649
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 4: I know, I'll drop you the pitching matchups right now,

1650
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 4: but the Monday night ace off, David Peterson versus Mackenzie Gore.

1651
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: We got to Mackenzie Gore last Tears Round Lefties. Yeah,

1652
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: that's true.

1653
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 4: Mackenzie Gore is super good. We got to him last time,

1654
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 4: and he's kind of been hot and cold since the

1655
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 4: Mets hit him hard at that start. But he's fantastic pitcher.

1656
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 4: He's he's blossomed into the legitimate ace this year in

1657
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 4: the Dynasty League. I just traded Willia Domas for him,

1658
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 4: and I was very happy with that. Willia Doomas does

1659
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 4: not have a hit since the trade was made, which

1660
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 4: is crazy.

1661
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, Peterson Gore.

1662
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 4: Tuesday is the game that we're rumored to get Christian

1663
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 4: Scott to get sloted into so the other guys can

1664
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 4: have an extra day off. So that would be Christian

1665
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 4: Scott versus DJ Hurs. Wednesday would then be Sean and

1666
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 4: I versus Mitchell Parker, and then Thursday, fourth of July.

1667
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 4: I'm not even gonna call this a Mattine because this

1668
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 4: is like a breakfast game eleven am. The Mets are

1669
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 4: playing at eleven am and fourth July. Guys, everyone be

1670
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 4: super aware of that. That's gonna be Hosy Gatana versus

1671
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 4: Jake RV another aceof.

1672
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: I will say this, I love it. I love at

1673
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: eleven AM game. That's awesome. I hate it for us

1674
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 2: with the podcast on fourth of July. I would have

1675
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 2: loved that we could have like podcast the day before

1676
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 2: and then just like gotten obliterated on the fourth of July.

1677
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about.

1678
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't know if we're gonna do an episode

1679
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 4: that day, depending on what we do to come out

1680
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 4: for Fridays. Yeah, there's a good chance that, just to

1681
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 4: give you guys a house keeping before we keep going

1682
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 4: into the series, that Mark and I will record a

1683
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 4: YouTube exclusive, either a quiz or a bracket or a

1684
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 4: big trade deadline preview, to be released on Friday, and

1685
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 4: then maybe just do a mega episode that comes out Tuesday,

1686
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 4: July ninth, take a little because the Mets go right

1687
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 4: into a four game series The Pirates right after that.

1688
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 4: Because it's just it's weird. I think to release an

1689
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 4: episode on Friday, July fifth, when the Mets play.

1694
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 4: of content, but just we might we might take a

1695
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 4: week off, a weekend off of the podcast next weekend

Speaker 4: and be right back with you guys after this pirate series.

1697
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 4: But unless something big happens, unless unless we have to

01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 4: get almost a guy get on the mics, or maybe

1699
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 4: maybe we just go on I don't know, maybe do

1700
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 4: something else middle of the week. I don't know what

1701
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 4: figure out. Maybe we do a livestream or something this week.

1702
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1703
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Maybe we do something.

1704
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 4: Okay, maybe we give you guys a little oother piece

1705
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 4: of content without like an actual episode coming out next Friday.

1706
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: But we'll got creative.

1707
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 4: Jake Irvan's been awesome this series has been in revelation.

1708
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 4: He has a really really good curve ball. He throws

1709
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 4: it basically exactly as much as he throws his fastball,

1710
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 4: which is fine. And he mixes a sinker off his

1711
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 4: four seam fastball and a color so he kind of

1712
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 4: just bothers hithers and then drops the hammer on them

1713
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 4: with the curveball. And he's been I think he's like

1714
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 4: thirteen quality starts this year, something near the top of

1715
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 4: the league, really really good. He was in my Big

1716
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 4: Threat that did last week for on like Pita on

1717
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 4: Herald the breakouts, and then Mitchell Parker is another guy

1718
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 4: who's super interesting. He came up and immediately in his

1719
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 4: first three starts. I want to get it here because

1720
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 4: I remember I remember who exactly was against, and I

1721
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, it was the Dodgers and

1722
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 4: the Astros. His first two starts to his career twelve innings,

1723
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 4: two runs, twelve strikeouts.

1724
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: I have a weird uh.

1725
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 2: I was weirdly all over Mitchell Parker in the twenty

1726
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 2: twenty draft. I went back and looked at videos and

1727
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 2: I was gushing over Mitchell Parker. And you want to

1728
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 2: know what, I don't know why. I wish I could

1729
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 2: take more credit for it.

1730
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 4: It's a good curveball and it's a splither and a

1731
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 4: curveball with a four seam fastball that is is the

1732
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 4: Forcene fastball is not he doesn't throw it hard, but

1733
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 4: it has fine action like he can live in the

1734
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 4: top of the zone even ninety three miles an hour.

1735
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 4: But to have that curve ball and that's splither breaking

1736
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 4: off it. This is just a picture that is can

1737
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 4: get let right these and lefties out pretty evenly because

1738
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 4: those two out pitches are good looking.

1739
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 2: At this team, they have four left handed starting pictures

1740
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 2: right now of five, which is also kind.

1741
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 4: Of are Yeah, that's kind of weird. It's it's Jack

1742
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 4: Urbans already so before Yeah, mister Parker.

1743
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: Ready, Yeah, Mitchell Parker's lefty. Mackenzie Gore is lefty Urbin

1744
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: and DJ Hurris. Yeah, did hers is weird?

1745
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 4: Think the j Herris might be the worst of this group,

1746
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 4: but he had like the biggest prospect name.

1747
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. He says he doesn't throw a lot

1748
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: of strikes. He's got no eyebrows. No, McKenzie Gore is

1749
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:45,479
Speaker 1: fucking awesome.

1750
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 4: Mckenzi Gore, he had he had a moment last week

1751
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 4: or two weeks ago now where there was a there

1752
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 4: was a miscommunication between him and Nick Senzel and he

1753
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 4: tried to fight him in the douk. Yes, so that's

1754
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 4: fucking dog. This guy's got This guy's got juice. And

1755
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 4: another huge thing happening for the Nationals this week, happening Monday,

1756
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 4: massive James Wood the centerpiece besides Mackenzie Gorren C j

1757
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 4: Abrams the cent to minor league centerpiece of the Wan

1758
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 4: Solo Trade is going to make his major league debut.

1759
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 4: He's incredible. He like a thousand o ps, I think

1760
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 4: a strike out rate under twenty percent in trip lea.

1761
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 4: I think that he meant have a wide range of

1762
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 4: outcomes in the major leagues, but in terms of upside potential,

1763
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 4: he could have one of the highest potentials of any

1764
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 4: minor leaguer in the league.

1765
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Right now.

1766
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 2: I think he has the potential, if things hit right,

1767
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 2: to be a top five player in Major League Baseball

1768
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 2: at five years from now.

1769
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: He has that possible ceiling.

1770
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 2: I've been all over James Wood since the day I

1771
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 2: saw him, and I'm gonna send this to you, Matt,

1772
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 2: and you can put in the video. He hit one

1773
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 2: of the most impressive high school home runs I've ever seen.

1774
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 2: James Wood, by the way, is six foot seventy, so

1775
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 2: keep this in mind. He six foot seven. There was

1776
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 2: a pitch above his head that he hit a nuke

1777
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 2: with a wood bat as a high schooler, an absolute bomb,

1778
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 2: and I was like, who is this man?

1779
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Found out his name is James Wood.

1780
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 2: He got taken in the second round the MLB Draft,

1781
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 2: which at the time I was like, I can't believe

1782
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 2: this guy isn't even a time five or top ten pick.

1783
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 4: But you had to buy out college. That's why a

1784
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 4: lot of those guys dropped because he's the physical tools

1785
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 4: were insane.

1786
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: With James Wood, it was always about him putting.

1787
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 4: It together to be like and there was swinging misconcern

1788
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 4: like he's gotten better. Yes, he's just somehow some way.

1789
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 4: But from last year this year he was striking out

1790
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 4: third percent in time in Triple A. Now it's under twenty.

1791
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 4: If it clicks for James Wood, this is this is

1792
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 4: someone who win MVP Ward this you're right about that

1793
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 4: hot take here.

1794
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: Uh, the Nationals have hitting development down pat because I

1795
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: mean Bryce, Harper, w and Soto. See they fixed a

1796
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: little bit, like.

1797
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 4: I mean maybe or they're just really good just finding

1798
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 4: generational type players because they can't fill in the nooks

1799
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 4: and crannies. But for some reason they keep getting these

1800
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 4: left hand Maybe it's just left these. Maybe he's hitting

1801
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 4: monsters because Dylan Cruz has also not been tremendous in

1802
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 4: the minor leagues, but he keeps getting pushed. Apparently Dylan

1803
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 4: Cruz people around him are not great. Apparently there's there

1804
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 4: was some there was some uh, there was some nefarious

1805
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 4: actions between him and the Nationals, like because he got

1806
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 4: promoted quickly without really having the stats to back end

1807
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 4: of it up. Apparently there's like a demand for him

1808
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 4: to get to major league as soon as possible. Oh

1809
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:05,919
Speaker 4: that's that could have also been a reason that maybe

1810
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 4: he didn't go number one overall, but that's beside the point.

1811
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Beside the point. Regardless, James would make it. His dad

1812
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: be awesome. He's gonna be awesome. He's going to hit

1813
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: a home run this series that you're going to drop

1814
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: your draw.

1815
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and crazy side by CJS having a really nice

1816
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 4: season coming hell ball play the month of May, guess

1817
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 4: how many walks he had?

1818
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: Two? One? Wow? The month of June, guess how many

1819
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: walks he had? One? Eleven? Wow? All right two one yeah.

1820
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, so him him being a little more patient

1821
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 4: as a super athlete, someone's getting some more power. Really

1822
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 4: good ball player that wants other trade changed their entire friends.

1823
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:37,919
Speaker 1: Oh, it's saved them. It's saved them. I mean, which

1824
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: is crazy to say when you trade away Wan Soto,

1825
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: but I mean look at the Padres. They got fucking

1826
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: nothing for him.

1827
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, literally, all right, that's what we got we
