1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Well, let's do it. We want a series. Yes, beat

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays in three game series. We haven't

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: had a happy episode in so long, and I feel

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: like we can actually have a real happy one because

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: there was a lot of really good things that happened

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: in this series. Episode number one ninety five of the

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: Mets Up Podcast, the official podcast of the New York Mets.

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: So much to talk about. Game one not so much,

9
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: but Game two and three, a lot of conversations to

10
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: go on Senga, the walk off home runs. Game three

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: another exciting one, back and forth baseball. Just it's really

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: refreshing to be able to talk about the Mets in

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: a very positive light. Here can stop you for a second. Yeah,

14
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: go shouldn't I keep doing the interview? Oh? You should?

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:36,360

Speaker 1: now we're gonna bring in Mark. We're talking about the

21
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: series here. I am here, I am again. Yeah, no

22
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: more introest for me until the Mets lose another series.

23
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: But for now, we're winners, and we've beat the Rays

24
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers, last two series wins, two teams with

25
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: the best records in each of their respective leagues in baseball.

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Well and kind of called it a little bit the

27
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: last episode where this team might just had to rise

28
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: to an occasion, and they rose to an occasion in

29
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: a huge way, especially on Wednesday night. But they kind

30
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: of just felt like that film we were talking about,

31
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: that malaise that was over this team. It really kind

32
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: of got relieved a little bit. It's partially by coming home,

33
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: it felt like, and also just by the fact that

34
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: we know we have to give our best to be

35
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: the team that is the best, and they did. How

36
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: refreshing was it to hit some home runs? Home runs

37
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: are so much fun, so much fun. That's its seven

38
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: home runs in the last three days. Like I think

39
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: John's gonna try and find how many games before that took.

40
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: The Mets hit seven home runs, But it felt like

41
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: like a lifetime because home runs are incredibly fun. I

42
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: really forgot how much fun home runs are, especially when

43
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: they're being hit by just these youngsters teaming with testosterone

44
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: and fury and power and fun. On the sixteenth at

45
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: seven to fifty five, tweeted hitting home runs looks like

46
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: so much fun. Wish the Mets could do that up

47
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: from that point till today. So Game three is it

48
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: started Game three, the Mets had only scored a runs

49
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: by hitting home runs in games, which I was like,

50
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the Jinks was unbelievable again, and the only

51
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: other two runs the Mets scored were literally on infield

52
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: hit again, one was an out a fielder's choice, mo

53
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: was a dribbler that Tommy fan by that and he

54
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: got the home running Game three. So it's like the

55
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: home runs have continued, which is a very very promising sign,

56
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: especially from Pete Alonzo who's been a little bit hot

57
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: and cold this year. But sixteen home runs like thirty

58
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: seven thirty eight RBIs on the year. Also, as bad

59
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: as it got Tuesday night with Justin Verlander getting hit

60
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of hard, the fans getting play the restless in

61
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: his home debut, we did find three home runs later

62
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: in the game. Yeah, when it was already seemingly Autveraged

63
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: did get kind of close towards the end of Cutch

64
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: with three run lead, but those home runs kind of

65
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: started and it felt like that maybe allowed the Mets

66
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: to realize you kind of felt like, all right, things

67
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: that are happening again, the offensive feeling and again we're

68
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: kicking again, like we have power that we know we

69
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: have almost like, hey, we can hit home runs, we

70
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: can do this, and like there were a bunch of

71
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: balls in Washington too that like were home runs and

72
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: thirty parks. Yeah, Tommy fam got screwed on a couple

73
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: of balls that should have been out. But yeah, it's

74
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: really nice, Like, okay, so let's just talk about game one.

75
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: I guess then started talking about that one. With Verlander's debut,

76
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: I think that was basically it. Yeah, but I mean,

77
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: we do have to talk about Verlanders start real quick.

78
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Just get it over with it. It wasn't great by

79
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: any means. And this is luckily where the like I guess,

80
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: bad baseball kind of kind of ends here. Ela just

81
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: wasn't sharp on Tuesday night. Happens to the pitcher against

82
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: literally the best offensive baseball. As we told you guys

83
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: before the series started. Luckily hasn't even played the series too,

84
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: which in goodness, which is great, which is great for us.

85
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: He's actually coming two back tomorrow. They said we could

86
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: come back today but they want to give him one

87
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: more day off in the day game. We're like, all right, nice,

88
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: thank you guys so much. But you kind of felt

89
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: immediately with this raised lineup, does they're able to take pitches,

90
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: they're worked deep in the counts, they draw a out

91
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: of the walks and then anyone could play that. And

92
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: we felt that eastac parade they is getting two and

93
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Jose Siri, who's almost turned out to be a little

94
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: bit of Mets killer himself, like a rat, I mean,

95
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: he's probably rat adjacent, I think right, he's I said

96
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: this to you on Wednesday night. He is the full

97
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: reincarnation of obviously al Garcia. If you guys like were

98
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I really think about baseball like five or six years ago,

99
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: came up with the Rays as just like this just

100
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: torqued up dude who can just hit the ball really

101
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: hard and run really fast, But then the rest of

102
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: it kind of gets lost. And that is Jose Siri. Yeah,

103
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: and he I mean came from the Astros to to

104
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: very smart organizations. Like you said, he hit that home

105
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: run hit one in Game two as well, he thought

106
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: he was going almost maybe abound that Mark Biento's home run,

107
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: which is a little bit scary. But yeah, going back

108
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: to game one a little bit just of a felt

109
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: like a bad vibe to sort the series a little bit.

110
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: But I mean, like we kind of said with the

111
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: restless one, we know how it ended. It's really nice

112
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: to see them bounce back from that. Yeah, the big

113
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: thing was that the Rays didn't really chase anything against

114
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: Justin Verlider, especially not a slide. They swing him as

115
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: one time as carved ball, they're with three times as Slyther,

116
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: but they just they're really spinning on in a lot

117
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: when it was out of his own. It's just smart team.

118
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: They probably a really good game plan to attack, and

119
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: it was what Verlander's third star of the year after

120
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: missing some time at home first at home. Sure, the

121
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: juice is flown a little bit like gonna be all right,

122
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna be alright. We we played softball. We almost won

123
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: our our game, almost almost. We are on a winless

124
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: softball team. Don't say that. Why why would you say

125
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: that we are?

126
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: We are true?

127
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: But I guess I don't know. I'm not a liar.

128
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate that we are. We got maybe maybe some

129
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: of the boys listened to this. Yeah, It's true. We've

130
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: been close a few times. So close we lost seventeen

131
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: sixteen Tuesday Night heartbreaker the Guy football game. The guy

132
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: who made the game winning catch on the other team,

133
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: which is like a weird way to explain it, but

134
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: the guy who made the catch to save the game

135
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: for them fell and tripped like three times on previous

136
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: fly balls in the outfit, and then he made this

137
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: diving catch, acrobatic catch to save the game, and then

138
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: we went out for drinks afterwards. They were at the

139
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: same bar, which was a little bit heartbreaking, but there

140
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: was also like nice people. A lot of these leagues.

141
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: He's like men's softball leagues in the city. You got

142
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: a lot of hard those. James has some good pieces too. Yeah,

143
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: I got a couple cople nicehots, made some nice plays.

144
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Now for sure, we had a really good defensive game

145
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: in the podcast. But also shout out Jeff mckets He's

146
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: he's the he's the best, say there in our softball team.

147
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: He was on deck with the game on the line.

148
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: That diving catch kept him coming up after Early had

149
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: hit a legiti home run home run over the fence

150
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: in softball. Yeah, it was unbelievable. People were marveling from

151
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: around from around the park. But yeah, shout out Jeff,

152
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: you know who you are. Of course, shout out Jeff.

153
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: That's the end of game one. Let's talk about Game

154
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: two now, because it was also funny just doing this

155
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: a softball because like a lot of this team is

156
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: Mets fans. True, we were like everyone keeping tracking their phone,

157
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: like moaning and groaning, like oh my god, especially after

158
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: coming off the game of monthy, we were like, oh no,

159
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 1: this is really brutal. Everyone just pontificating about the Mets,

160
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: and then it all washed away suddenly on Wednesday night,

161
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: first felt like the first time in a month. Yeah,

162
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean we were there. We were at the game

163
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: for a time in a minute that we've been at

164
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: a Mets game, honestly since the last time we record

165
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: an episode. Yeah, Electric City. From the start, I mean,

166
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: I was surprised at how many people were here. I

167
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: was a little worried about maybe what it was gonna

168
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: look like with one the Rays in town. I know,

169
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: me and you love the Rays like as baseball fans,

170
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: but we know they don't really bring the biggest attendance.

171
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: That being said, I saw a lot of Rais hats

172
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: and jerseys around the stadium. Shout out to the Rays fans. Yeah,

173
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: shout to the Mets fans too, but shout out to

174
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: the Rays fans because a team that doesn't get a

175
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: lot of love in terms of like, because their attendance

176
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: is always awful. But people don't realize the stadium is

177
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: terrible and it's in the middle of nowhere and it's

178
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: a pain in the butt to get to. But they

179
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: got fans and they showed up. The New York City.

180
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: The Tampa Saint Petersburg pipeline is fruitful. Yeah, a lot

181
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: of people are going back and forth to those two places. Tampa,

182
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: of course, a lot of New Yorkers.

183
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: Can I add something to you guys too, You can feats.

184
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: This is also their home stadium. They did use City

185
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: Fields the time.

186
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my god, I forgot about that. Yes, sums down, Yeah,

187
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: bums down, thumbs down. The guy the single, the guy

188
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: that's actually Faul. That guy did that here and now

189
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: he's like a Mets person like that. People seem a

190
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: like Mets games all the time. Yeah, and like they

191
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: want to take pictures with him. But that was at

192
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: a Raise game. Technically that's one of my favorite, Like

193
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: just small gifts are like the little images memes to

194
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: put on tw it. Yeah, it wasn't on the back

195
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: page of the post. He might have been. I think

196
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: he got on the back page of the post for that.

197
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: He was in the post. But pretty impressive for a

198
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: random guy doing something. Yeah, but it was weird also

199
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday night because it was kind of the tale of

200
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: two games, because the almost even three games, because the

201
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: first game was the fact that Koda Sanga was completely

202
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: lights out the best start of his young MLB career

203
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: with his family and family in town, and he was

204
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: very tongue and cheek after the game, especially after Erlander

205
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: left the field with some booze on Tuesday, he was like, yeah,

206
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm really having my family seeming to get booed, which

207
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: was the second best quote that came out of Wednesday's game,

208
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: but only gave up one earned run, got twelve strikeouts

209
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: against again the best offense in baseball. Twelve strikeouts are

210
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: the most by a Japanese born starting pitcher in Mets history.

211
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, and eighteen whiffs most by a Mets pitcher

212
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: this year. And those strikeouts and whiffs were of course

213
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: the most Sanga has had this year himself was just

214
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: all aroun incredible game. He was disgusting. We were watching

215
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: were we float around the ballpark, we go in different spots,

216
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: different areas, and he was just like in control the

217
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: entire time, which is really nice because Senga has I mean,

218
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: he's had his ebbs and flows. We knew this was

219
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna happen. We've talked about it one hundred times on

220
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: the podcast. But he, like you said, he very much

221
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: felt and control this game, and it was like it

222
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: felt like a very big step forward in the progression

223
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: for code I saying his career, not that there was

224
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: ever a doubt, but it was just like, oh, yeah,

225
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: like when this guy has got it going and figuring

226
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: it out, like he has the chance to be absolutely dominant. Yeah.

227
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: And the big thing that happened, which is something we've

228
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: alluded to in this podcast a little bit, is that

229
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: he just made a lot of really little adjustments the

230
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: rays super off balance. We've talked about the fact that

231
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: cod that kind of gets into this little like this

232
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: little like routine with Hithers where it's like you get

233
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: the fastball to start, you get to strike straut that

234
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: goes fork, fastball start gets too strike straut that goes fork,

235
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: and then whatever happens in between there that kind of

236
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: determined whether Star would be a good one or a

237
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: bad one. But he really really varied his pitch mix

238
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: in this one, mostly changing up the way he was

239
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: using his fastball's color and his ghost fork and his

240
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: sweeper a little bit. Really what he did was kind

241
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: of hide the sweeper. It's a pitch that hasn't really

242
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: come along as much for him, something he learned this

243
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: offseason at drive Line try and get himself to the

244
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: major leagues, and he really just hit it mostly used

245
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: it as the first pitch like that became to get

246
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: me over pitch, which is cool. And you also use

247
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: more colors than fastballs the first pitch of at bats,

248
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: which that's a very new trend for Codai Sanga. And

249
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: you also threw more fastballs than ghost forks. When he

250
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: was up two specifically and got a lot of rays

251
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: hithers to freeze on the nine seven mile to ninaw fastball.

252
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: He did a really good job of also working inside

253
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: to the left hand hitters because the rays just have

254
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: platoons for days and they stack all the lefties against

255
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: the rights and the rights against lefties, which was amazing.

256
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: And overall, through forty four fastballs, twenty four colors, twenty

257
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: four ghost forks, very even mix. And with all that

258
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: something we've seen cood I struggle with a lot this season.

259
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: Starting off hitters with strikes twenty out of twenty four

260
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: rays saw a first pitch strike over eighty three percent,

261
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: highest rate so far in his major league career. And

262
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: with that all kind of mixing things up, he was

263
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: getting them to chase more often. He had the highest

264
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: chase ras had any individual start so far this season.

265
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: It was a lot of really good things for Sanga.

266
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: He only got down three to zero once. No, he

267
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: was never down three, He only was down two one

268
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: once and only once was down three to one. It's fantastic.

269
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: He's completely in control. And like for those of you

270
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: at home, if you look up the stats of hitters

271
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: like oh, one one to one, like you know, just

272
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: look at the stats for every single count whenever the

273
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: pitcher's ahead. The numbers are not great for hitters. It's

274
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: just it's very very hard when you are behind in

275
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: the count. So for him to get ahead early with

276
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: the nasty stuff that we know he has, because that's

277
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: the other thing to talk about. He's pumping ninety seven

278
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: to ninety eight late into this game with that ghost work,

279
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: with that sweeper, with that cutter. He's got really really

280
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: good stuff. So being able to get ahead against one

281
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: of the best offenses is just so big and something

282
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: that we've talked about too, and like you mentioned it,

283
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: like how he was able to kind of change the

284
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: way that he structured his pitches in the at bat,

285
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: like if me and you were figuring out, I'm sure

286
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: the Rays are figuring it out too, And the fact

287
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: that he was able to make that adjustment and it

288
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: was so successful like that, to me is just such

289
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: a huge like Wow, that's a big moment. And that's

290
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: also super how you keep a team like this off

291
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: balance and they come in against you to play you,

292
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: and I'm sure the Rays do a lot of prep

293
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: work and for the huge part of the organization strategy. Yeah. Right,

294
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: So when teams have a really specific game plan against

295
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: you and Dave to throw it out in beginning of game,

296
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: you're completely thrown off. They only even scratched off that

297
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: one run, which was a couple of well hit balls

298
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: in Succession, but it was also Succession. We played the

299
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: Succession music before all the games here. It's pretty amazing. Yeah,

300
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: got trick. It's it's out of nowhere too, and it's

301
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: it's very cool. But that music might get me to

302
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: watch the show. It's it's really good music. I don't

303
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: know how much you'd like the show because it's all

304
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: like rich business people on private jets. I'm making deals.

305
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: I've seen it on TikTok, like some like funny moments

306
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: from like quotes, and I'm like, I like that. I

307
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: like the like the lingo they'd say some insane stuff.

308
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know why I talk about succession, but

309
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: just the fact that you can kind of like wrap

310
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: around these heathers a little bit, and the second you

311
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: drop a sweeper that they weren't even really expecting that

312
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: much and you were expecting it. It was like deeper into

313
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: account first pitch and I were like, oh my god,

314
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I can be ready for ninety seven and I can

315
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: ready for another breaking ball. He also mixed in It

316
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: could have just been pitch recognition like mishaps on Baseball Savant,

317
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: but they had some registered curveballs and sliders that he

318
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: was throwing one that looked like a slip to AB's hand.

319
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: Was came out like sixty three miles an hour. Yeah, yeah,

320
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: that weird pitch. Yeah, that just flowed through tweet. Yeah,

321
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: the tweeted it. So they were tweeting about s and

322
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Y tweeted about that pitch, that slip pitch. When he

323
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: had struck out five guys in around like to start

324
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: the game, and I was like, where the strike You

325
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: told me, I'm like call him out, call him out.

326
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: They immediately tweet out a strikeout right after that. So

327
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I wanted to be some shrik

328
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: guts because Sango looked amazing. He struck out like six

329
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: guys first time through the order. It was. It was

330
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: just a really amazing start and really good to see him,

331
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: especially the day after Justin Verlander didn't pitch to his

332
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: best him code I Sanga being the stopper, adding that

333
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: element as a number three guy in this rotation is

334
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: really important. Listen, we know he follows the podcast. Maybe listen,

335
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: maybe you heard, and that's why I made the adjustments.

336
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: You never know the mess of the podcast difference. So yeah,

337
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: like to like do another interview with Code I Sang,

338
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: and now that he's been here we have we can

339
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: get a little how how's New York been now rather

340
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: than how New York will be? That's true, that's true. Yeah, sure,

341
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: for a lot's happened to Kai Sang in the six

342
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: months has been to day one day, yeah, one day,

343
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: one day. But let's talk about the rest of this game,

344
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: because outside Code is Sega it was pure chaos, absolutely nuts.

345
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: Of course, we know Mark Fiento's got called up. That

346
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: was the big news of the day. Mark Vento's got

347
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup, hitting eighth at third base. Uh,

348
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: and Mark Fiano's had a pretty pretty big play in

349
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: this game. I think we could say with that game

350
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: tying home run in the seventh. Yeah, we were down

351
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: to nothing and it kind of felt like another one

352
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: of those games where a lot of people were moaning

353
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: and groaning. You felt like like a lot of people

354
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: at least were standing around us in the outfield. We're

355
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: kind of quitting and being being very pessimistic. And our

356
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: Fianto's just came up and he got a slyther that

357
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: just came low in the zone. Not even a bad

358
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: pitch either, really good pitch. Ryan Thomps also is a

359
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: great slide. It was only the fourth home run Ryan

360
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: Thompson had a loud on this slide in the past

361
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: three years. Dang and Mark Vantos went down and golfed

362
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: it out over center field and almost they got robbed.

363
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: You said that before I almost got robbed. That would

364
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: have absolutely killed me. I would have crumbled in my

365
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: in my seats right there, would disintegrade and it would

366
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: have been Jose Series. He would have gotten on the

367
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: rat list for sure. I would disintegrated right into my sneakers.

368
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: But that was a beautiful moment. It kind of like

369
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: everyone kind of was like, Okay, we can do this again. Yes,

370
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: it gave it gave the stadium some desperately needed life

371
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: at that moment. Uh and then we know it. It

372
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: got away again. Yeah, got the way again and got

373
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: away again. Adam on the video came out in the

374
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: eighth inning, And we've talked about Adam Otveo's like, no

375
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: the struggles versus left handed hitters on the show a

376
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: few times. It's just his repertoire is amazing, but it's

377
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: just it doesn't leave as much wiggle room against the

378
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: left seat because that sweeper is going towards them rather

379
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: than away for them, just as simply as that could

380
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: be put. And they kind of teeth off on him

381
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. Really got around and Hope kind of

382
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: with felt lost again. But I want to shout out

383
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: some friends that we made in the in the outfield

384
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: in this game. She she asked us not to reveal

385
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: her name. Really yeah, she said, no, Oh I didn't,

386
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: but I mean she's an attorney, so I guess that

387
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: was maybe me too much information there. But her, her

388
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: fiance and her friend, we just we had an incredible time.

389
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: A couple of our friends. I came through too. We

390
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: had a great group people around a table right by

391
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: the aern Cini Bros. The social table and right field, Yeah,

392
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: a social table. Everyone's making friends, cag and now communicating.

393
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: And she gave an interesting perspective about being a Mets

394
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: fan because her family grown up in Queens, but she

395
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: was like a Mets fan but not really a Mets fan,

396
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: and she wounded up meeting her fiance. It was a

397
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: diehard and like getting super back into it, but she

398
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: missed that that whole section of Mets fandom between nineteen

399
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: eighty seven and like too, and like right now the

400
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: second where you kind of get hurt a lot and

401
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: like a lot of things happened. You really like, I

402
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: don't know how I can feel right now any day

403
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: of the week. But she was like, you gotta just

404
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: be positive. Never been a more negative group of fans.

405
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: And she was like, I'm a Bills fan. I stay

406
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: positive all the time. Like we could say positive about

407
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: this too, and she kept saying the word like manifested, manifested.

408
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: We're like, right, let's manifest or whatever. And then come

409
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: up in the ninth inning, Daniel voge Back draws a

410
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: walks Starling Marte gets nicked on his wrist. Thankfully he's okay.

411
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: Then freaking Francisco Alvarez man the moment of the Marky

412
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: moment of the season because I again, you guys all

413
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: know what happened now. I felt more feeling for this

414
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: home run than the Pete home run to walk off. Truth. Ooh,

415
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: that's an interesting one because there's a two outs in

416
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: the ninth inning. John went back and found the stat John,

417
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: how rare was this Francisco Alva's home run?

418
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: So given the situation, this is pound for pound one

419
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: of the clutches home runs. In Mets history, it is

420
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 4: the fourth time a Met has hit a game tying

421
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 4: home run with a team down.

422
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: To its last out, down by three or four runs.

423
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 4: So a three run home run or a Grand Slam,

424
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: this does not happen. No, And you know, Lindor goes

425
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: up there as a tying run, strikes out, the Aentos

426
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 4: comes up and you're thinking, like, is he gonna do

427
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: it like the day he comes up?

428
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: Is this the story book ending?

429
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: No?

430
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 4: But then in the nine hole behind him is the

431
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 4: guy with even possibly more pop.

432
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: I mean, the lineup was deep last night.

433
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: That's the craziest thing was he pulls it off the

434
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: other guys by the way, that did it. Carl Everett

435
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: hit a game ty in Grand Slam in ninety seven.

436
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: Uh, Victor Diaz on, you guys are probably a little

437
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: bit too young.

438
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: Victor Diaz, Well, you remember Minny Manny of course, yeah,

439
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: But do you remember this game? It was September of four.

440
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: Lou Panello is the Cub manager. The Cubs are trying

441
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: to get in the playoffs, and Diaz had a game

442
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: time threw a home run.

443
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: It actually screwed the Cubs.

444
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 4: It comes he miss the playoffs that year, Loupenello was

445
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 4: turning right in the dugout and then twenty fifteen Daniel

446
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 4: Murphy in Atlanta. This team just refuses to lose. Gary

447
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 4: Cohen call, but this home run is lumped in there.

448
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: And then obviously they win today. And we said this

449
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,119
Speaker 4: in the pregame show today, last night's win or Wednesday's

450
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 4: win could very well be the victory that you circle

451
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: and you look back and that's the moment that turns

452
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 4: it around.

453
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: Were just incredible.

454
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: The vibes were really good. Like it was, it was

455
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: a little it was feeling down. We were feeling a

456
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: little like down, a little like here we go again.

457
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: We had we did have friends who left at the

458
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: stadium cleared, cleared out when it was Yeah, people were

459
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: just not ready to see if this team go down again.

460
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: Blow my mind that people will leave the game early, Like, Okay,

461
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: if you have a car, you'e don't want to hit traffic.

462
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: That your own call. But people who have obpositely that car,

463
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: it's less likely. You almost don't unless you have really

464
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: something to do in the morning, which is like, I

465
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: don't know where those twenty minutes make a difference. No,

466
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: but when you have the Super Express after the game,

467
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: there's no reason to literally not stay here. If you're

468
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: taking public transportation besides l r R and the NJ Transit,

469
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: they those trains do run every hour. Okay, that's so

470
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: you might miss one of those. So all those people,

471
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: I give them. But if you if you live in

472
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: the Greater New York City area, if you're if you're

473
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: in a borrow, you're taking a subway home first, the

474
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: Super Express after the game. It's electric at your home

475
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: in a jiff, and they only run that after the game.

476
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: So to leave, to look, to look this team in

477
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: the eye, be like I'm gonna leave, take a longer

478
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: train and not watch you make the last out. Disrespectful,

479
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: We'll say. As soon as those people left, it turned

480
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: right literally turned right around. That's kind of what felt

481
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: crazy about this game is that there's been so much

482
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: negativity in Mess World over the last couple of weeks,

483
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: and like, not all of it's been unwarranted. Of course, yes,

484
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: drops a bunch of series against some teams that we

485
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: don't rely think we're that good. Okay, it happens, whatever,

486
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: And you kind of just felt like all the people

487
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: who were left there were like really really invested. Yes,

488
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: like everyone when you get to those late games, it's

489
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: cold still early in the season and we all have

490
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: to but that still is really early in the season here,

491
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: like everyone starts to kind of congregate it. Every inning

492
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: gets like closer and closer and closer. Eventually it's just

493
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: like there's like these vibrations happening like on the field

494
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: because everybody's locked in.

495
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 3: Dude.

496
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: On the Francisco Alvarez home run, I mean like we

497
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: almost had like a blackout moment where like I forgot

498
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: a little bit, but we both chest bumped random people

499
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: like in the concourd and see I bit my lip,

500
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: I was bleeding a blow them my teeth. I was

501
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: like I could I couldn't believe it was happening. You know.

502
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: Weird that was that was such a big home run.

503
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Also on the game or on the board before the game,

504
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: we saw Francisco Alvarez has a tattoo that says the

505
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: best on his neck is that? Was that a real

506
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: tattoo or was that real tattoo that's electric?

507
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 3: I mean where you never noticed that?

508
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: I never I never edited, which is because we talked

509
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: about wander Franco is like, awesome tattoo before and now

510
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: you said you put the debut on there, putting the

511
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: best on your neck. Is that's something that's a big

512
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: that's a big play move. It is you really felt

513
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the inclusion of energy, yes, last night and you heard

514
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: Fianto's talk about that for the game, Like me, Alvarez,

515
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: Baby's like, we're brothers. We've been this boy together, We've

516
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: been on so many these teams together, like we are.

517
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: And like you even felt after Pete hit the home

518
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: run later on where those guys jumped over that great

519
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: together and like they're banging each other at each other,

520
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, Like dad felt something different. And Alvers's backflip,

521
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I was about to say that crushed it,

522
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: and just he watched it and he was like, oh yeah,

523
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: Paul's gouty. He's hit off the second deck at the

524
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: flip and he was pumped. Like that's the kind of

525
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: energy that I felt like this team needed. They needed

526
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: a just a jolt of energy, so a little bit

527
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: of pop, yeah, pop or something, and that Alva's home

528
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: run I think is good. We're gonna look back, hopefully

529
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. Be like, wow, that

530
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: was yeah, because it's just you just it just felt

531
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: it too, like it just he was such a shot

532
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: to complete tank. He's so good. Twenty one, he's twenty

533
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: Moe's old. He's still the youngest regular catcher in thirty

534
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: years in Major League Baseball. And he's going out there

535
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: hitting game time home runs in the ninth inning against

536
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: one of the best relievers in baseball, Chase nab the

537
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: first time Jay Nam's giving up a home run that

538
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: sweeper this year, he go back two years. He literally

539
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: statistically is one of the best relievers in baseball. Strikeout, raid,

540
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: e ra, whatever you want. He's unbelievably good. And it

541
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: left the bat. He just sunk down and Alvarez just

542
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: freaking out.

543
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 4: Did you see his reaction off the bat? Yeah, if

544
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: you go, he turns his head, he goes, sorry, Vito.

545
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 3: It was just like a dead pan like it was funny.

546
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: It was also the moment because it almost happened to

547
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: him last weekend with Aaron Judge. We talked about this, Yeah,

548
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: and he did the same thing and he like went down,

549
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: he covered his head and then they caught it at

550
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: the wall. But there was no chances just getting caught. No,

551
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, as they said, Yankee stames a Pittcher's Park

552
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: and City Field. You know it's a bandbox. Yeah, of

553
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: course that's how it goes. That's that's what they say

554
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: about those two stadiums. It did kind of stink though

555
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: that Right after that we didink give two runs right back,

556
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: which was tough. We brought the infield in, got a

557
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: little sneaky hit through up the middle. That was the

558
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: first real moment this year that I was like, I

559
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: really really miss Edmond d because we took for granted

560
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: how often he came in the tenth inning last year

561
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: and was able to shut the team down, to not

562
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: give up a run. Nobody hit him, with nobody else

563
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: in a man on second. It's herculean and he did

564
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: it more often than not in twenty twenty two. And

565
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: David Roberts had an incredible year by all accounts, he's

566
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: been amazing, incredible, and he calls out the game on

567
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: Wednesday and pitch him back to back days and but

568
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: just you really just felt like, like getting that second

569
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: run it kind of felt deflating. Yeah, it did. I

570
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: was in the bathroom, maybe a bathroom run, because like

571
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about this one. And I was

572
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: in there, I was like seven five and that and

573
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: that ball dropped right in front of talking the second

574
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: run like two ft in front of him. Was like, oh, like, man,

575
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: seven five really feels a lot different than six five.

576
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: Like this doesn't feel great, but shout out to the

577
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: fan that will not remain nameless. Did not let us

578
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: we'll gameless or yeah, will remain nameless. How could you

579
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: guys quit now? Did not let us give up at

580
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,000

Speaker 2: For sure.

587
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: She manifested this. She manifested this. She did. Then, as

588
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: we know, Pete Alonzo just didn't walk off home run,

589
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: crushed it, crushed it again, and like for the people around,

590
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: like everyone's like, come on, get out me and you

591
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: we we started up breaking it to the second and

592
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: left the bat like balls even close to being caught.

593
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: And he hit it so high and so far up

594
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: into the second deck and Pete sick day flu game,

595
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,240

00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: extra innings since the start twenty twenty two. It's the

599
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: best record in MLB. A lot of that, yeah, of course, yeah,

600
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,480

00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 4: I just left it in the spot where Alonso could

617
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: get it. It was an unfortunate time to be the

618
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 4: lesser of the two pets. Very very funny quote.

619
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: It's a good quote, but no now remembering to quote though,

620
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: Alva said that he channeled yet bad he had earlier

621
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: this season Josh about sliders, being like, if I get

622
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: one of these in zone, I just got to take

623
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: a hack. I got to take a hack because I do

624
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: remember that back agains. Hey, that was right when he

625
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: came up. Yes, and he looked really over match. He

626
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: did look over match. But is that amazing how much

627
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: he's learning. It's great what happens when you play these guys.

628
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: He's crazy. And if you are a great tool to

629
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: see how players are like acclimating or like kind of

630
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: streaks are in the fangrafs graphs and you can set

631
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: it to per game graphs. You can see the rolling graphs,

632
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: and his strikeout rate and his walk rate are going

633
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: like this. I love it, And they're pretty close together

634
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: over the last ten games. Right now, it's guys really learning.

635
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we we knew from the start. We've been

636
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: telling you guys like Alvarez has the ability to be

637
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: a very very special player. Like there's very few times

638
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: a catcher who remember was we were told he couldn't

639
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: play good defense, so just strictly off his hitting, he

640
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: was one of the top prospects in baseball. People say

641
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: these things. I don't know where they get themrom because

642
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: people catching. I'm not not a professional catcher, but I

643
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: caught and like I understand catching. But I also remember

644
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: when macnford was coming up years ago, he was billed

645
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: as someone who was like a clunk in the outfield,

646
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: and he was not bad at all. Jeff McNeil was

647
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: random of sam what McNeil was told he he can't

648
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: play anywhere in the field. The guy literally plays everywhere.

649
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: Pete Alonso, everyone said he was a butcher in a

650
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 4: lifetime DH he's been a really steady first base first base.

651
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I think a lot of these scouts, even

652
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: like way back in the day, like when the Partiscal

653
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: Indoor was coming up in Cleveland, people said he couldn't hit,

654
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: like he was a slap header. He was a slap

655
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: headed defensive shortstop. And I was like, all right, I

656
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: don't know they get so caught up with like these

657
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: random things that are wrong, and Francis Gilbert has proved

658
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: everybody Wrong's played great defensively behind the plate too. Mets

659
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: win that game? Boy, did we need it?

660
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

661
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: Also, another big thing about this game, just the last

662
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: thing to wrap it up, Pete was Pete was really

663
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: frustrated early on, Yes, because he had the bat in

664
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: the first inning with a lot of ducks on the

665
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: pond and ground to adult play and the met it

666
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: was like, it really just feels like this first day,

667
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: first inning thing is really getting to them. And he

668
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: had another at bat a couple of things later, he

669
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: put one too the warning track and he shows some

670
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: visible frustration. That was when the team was still had

671
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: zero run. So it was really cool to see him

672
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: be the hero this one. And he cursed and then

673
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: he did on television. Right, let's do it for Vito?

674
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: We could all can we curse this one time? Vito?

675
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: And John curses whenever he wants.

676
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: All right, let's so, yeah, we're good, wind to go, Mets,

677
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: there we go. Was that the right time for I

678
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: feel like that was the right time he needed that.

679
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: That win turns it all around, and finally I thought

680
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: it was a good moment. Also, like he like, yeah,

681
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: he had the big home run. The Steve Gibs like

682
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: what you think of for sis squeal fors. He was like,

683
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: I'll bring the attention back to myself. Let's talk about

684
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzos Hos, I'm Peter Alonzo. Great win. Mets fans

685
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: along with the team needed it, desperately needed it. Seven

686
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: train was electric after the game. It was sick there,

687
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: we was there was a there was a guy on

688
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: a seven train who was like chugging Budweiser because he

689
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: bumped from the train. Guys and like he was like

690
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: doing holding it up and pour in his face and

691
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: put up a flag and I said, out of here

692
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 1: in the train, yeah, we were going home. A lot

693
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: of chants going on. The people were going crazy in

694
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: that train. It was fun. It was a good time

695
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: to be a Mets fan. You could just feel like

696
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: just a sense of relief for everybody, like okay, okay.

697
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: And it also brought us because I mean we had

698
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: to be back in the stadium about twelve hours later,

699
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: just like John Vito a little earlier than us, and

700
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: we're like, you know what, I'm excited for this one.

701
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: That was a great game. We got a chance to

702
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: win a series, which we haven't done in quite some

703
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: time since four to twenty basically, and great start by McGill.

704
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: Great really going to start by McGill, probably pound for poun,

705
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: probably best of the whole year, especially considering the team

706
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: who was playing against, and just the fact that momentum

707
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: was so vitally important, and the fact that he gave

708
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: up an earned run in the first inning and it

709
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: felt like the Rays were really seeing him well yeah,

710
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: taking them good at bats. It was I was a

711
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: little bit scared about it.

712
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: Scared.

713
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: He got the six innings, which is huge McGill, second

714
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: time he's done this year. Only that run and then

715
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: one more that happened to six talking about that in

716
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: a second, but four strikeouts and he got twelve whiffs,

717
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: second straight start with at least twelve, after only getting

718
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: that one other time this year. So it looks like

719
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: that slither, which is really important. We're talking about how

720
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: much how important McGill's secondaries are is starting to come

721
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: along a little bit, especially against a lefty heavy lineup

722
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: to for Tampa Bay Rays. The fact he was confident

723
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: to throw it. It was good. Isn't that something you told

724
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: me about coming back from injuries, that the velocity is

725
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: always there, but it's usually like the breaking balls in

726
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: the command is what comes next. So maybe that's what

727
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: we're sarting to see a little bit with Tyler, maybe

728
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: steps and Vlasti's fining. He was like ninety four ninety

729
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: five all day. I got a couple of ninety six

730
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: and the fastball they get eight whifts and he was

731
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: like stack sitting it up in his own and he

732
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: Tom McGill is just really good at something that I'm

733
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: going to say is like this old baseball. He's really

734
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: good bearing down like when there's a guy on base

735
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: like Toyler. McGill just seemed, yeah, he's got seas. He's

736
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: really it's been really important. He's Maybell do his last

737
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: few weeks this scene just giving steady innings every single week,

738
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 1: Like that's incredibly important. Well, I mean like even with

739
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: like Verlin or not pitching that well still went with

740
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: like five innings or whatever it was. Yeah, but like

741
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: you see how much of a different it makes just

742
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: for your pitchers to pitch basically the minimum like five innings.

743
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: We got six out of two guys. That's huge.

744
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: It's huge.

745
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: He completely changes the outlook of the game because now

746
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: instead of having to go to our deeper part of

747
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: the bullpen, you get to go to Jeff Brigham, your boy,

748
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: We get to go to Adam out of you know,

749
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: David Roberts and Drew Smith, like the guys that we

750
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: want in those big moments, getting those final outs.

751
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 4: James, to your point, this year mcgil with the runners

752
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 4: on scoring, runners in scoring position, opponent's batting average fanatical.

753
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. Wow, hell yeah, he's burning down. Hey,

754
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: Like sometimes you just gotta gut it out like we would.

755
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 1: We say that the Mets, these mess pitchers like need

756
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: little Jordan Lyles and them where it's just like things

757
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: aren't going that well. You just gotta get out there

758
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: and pitch. Just get a couple of guys out, get

759
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: to the next inding. You gotta will eight innings. Yeah,

760
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: you sometimes you gotta just tie squeeze the ball tight.

761
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Lyles got to lead the league in like eight losses.

762
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Lyles has to have the fewest highlights I've ever

763
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: been distributed in Major League Baseball. I've never seen a

764
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: video open pitch on the Internet never stre like two

765
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: guys a game. He throws two hundred a year. But

766
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: it's just like his white knuckling. It's just like, I'm

767
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: not gonna letch to this get away. And there was

768
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: a moment in the sixth inning where this game probably

769
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: could have gotten away, where the Rays put like five

770
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: to the warning track in a row and then the

771
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: line turned over for a third time. We've talked to

772
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: you guys about how important that line turned over at

773
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: third time mister hitters and Josh Low came up and

774
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: just looked like he had a very easy home run.

775
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: It was guaranteed, Yeah it was. It was a lock

776
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: and a half. But he also he had an incredible series.

777
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: He's a really good baseball He like first round pick.

778
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: It took him a long time to get to major

779
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of also probably shows some mess fans about

780
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: like how important like the seasoning in the minors is.

781
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: He played the full season last year Durham where he

782
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: had like a one four WRC plus he came up

783
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: a little bit last year to ten games, so he

784
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: just didn't really have like the type of play discipline

785
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: that they really wanted for him to like be acome

786
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: a star, and now he went down for a full year,

787
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: came back up, and he is like unstoppable matching. He's

788
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: got like fifty six combined and runs an RBIs through

789
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: like forty something games. It's gonna be an All Star. Yeah,

790
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: he's a freaking frequently good player. But hit that home

791
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: run and then the Rays kept challenging after that, and

792
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: it was just like, oh no, this he's gotta get

793
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: I gotta get that. I just gotta get out, and

794
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: then shout out Michael Perez getting in here for the

795
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: day game after the night game, snap throw behind. I

796
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: wanted Harold Ramirez. Yeah, two walks I think in a row.

797
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: I think a walk or single orby hit by pitch whatever.

798
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: There was a man first and second and he got

799
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: caught in a rundown when the man on second, and

800
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: I think it was a Rose rain on second. He

801
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: the second happened, he just looked at a music. Yeah,

802
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: many Rose ran Where's where's not his sleeve? For sure?

803
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: And cool to see these guys this year's talking about

804
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: wander Franco Rosearina, Like these guys were a lot of fun.

805
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah on the baseball field. Really cool double in this

806
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: game and did the path, the look and wander just

807
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: like stealing basically these on on Wednesday night. But that

808
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: was a huge moment, guys. Out of that jam got

809
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: us to the bullpen, which is good literally besides for Wednesday,

810
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: which is hilarious, Like the bullpen's been so light, so

811
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: lights out. Yeah, it's so also so funny a Wednesday,

812
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: we still couldn't like sink everything up like had the

813
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: bats had the starting pitching, and that's state of Bay.

814
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: The bullpen doesn't pitch well. But whatever it happened, still

815
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: won the game and we scratched across just enough, like

816
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: Pete had another home run on Thursday, a couple of

817
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: dins and doing Scott some hits, Tommy fam big time,

818
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: Tommy Time, tom game winning single, live driving line, driving

819
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: the bucks. There it is. I mean, it's so funny

820
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: how the hard hit balls have not fallen for him.

821
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: But I think he's like three out of his last

822
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: four maybe hits have all been hit under ninety miles

823
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: an hour. He's not hit them hard and they've been

824
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: falling frits, which is like baseball is an unfair sports.

825
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes his baseball, that's it. John said, Pete is one

826
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: home run shy of tying his all time favorite player

827
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: for being the king of city field. You know that

828
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: is right to see you, Lucas Duda.

829
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, that's I mean, it's pretty funny. Like if

830
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 4: you guys went out to the plaza before a game

831
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 4: and I asked one hundred Mets fans who has the

832
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 4: most home runs in this ballpark?

833
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: Right here? How many people are saying the name Lucas

834
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: d the first try?

835
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: We should do that? Want to try it? Maybe we

836
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: should do a tiktak with that Saturday more, who was

837
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: who is the most runs to they field history? Yeah?

838
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: All right, if you guys listening to this play along

839
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: to cut that, we'll just if we're doing the ticket us,

840
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: we'll edit you guys out pretty much.

841
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: If you get it right. We knew you, we knew

842
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 3: you cheated.

843
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we know you're fans. We'll have a sticker

844
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: for you sample it's a sample side. Yeah, that's fine,

845
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: but freaking great. It's so cool. Just win these games.

846
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: Youone else is great about this? What else answering this series?

847
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay had lost just four times this year when

848
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 4: scoring the first run. Now, I know, in baseball, it's

849
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: not like hockey or football necessarily, But still Tampa Bay

850
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: had been pretty much locked down when getting on top first.

851
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: Mets came back twice against them.

852
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 4: Now the Mets have the best record winning percentage at

853
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 4: least when scoring the first run, and.

854
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: That's only have two losses all year when scoring the

855
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 3: first run.

856
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: How many times have they scored the first run? Who's

857
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: that the Mets? Fifteen?

858
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 4: No, now it is fifteen, Yeah, it is fifteen. So yes,

859
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 4: so I mean you know that that counting number is

860
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 4: not very high. That's why I threw the percentage at you.

861
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 4: But still like they've done a good job nursing their

862
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 4: leads as is Tampa Bay. Only four teams before this

863
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: had been able to crack the rais when Tampa took

864
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 4: the lead.

865
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: And again the end of the day, we said this

866
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: for the Mets bullpen this year overall has been great,

867
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: really really good. Like Jeff Bringham, how the good thing

868
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: today bridge for that boise, the fact that he has

869
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: become actual like a like a high leverage reliever for

870
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: this team, Like you guys, did you guys knowing first

871
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: and not even we it was James guys in December,

872
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: this guy was going to be real peace. I don't

873
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: know where this late like the back of his bullpen

874
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: be with that Jeff friggam like he's getting important ounce

875
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: against the Rays and the eighth inning. Yeah, oh my god.

876
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 3: Another Sorry, go finish your statement. We got one. Were

877
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,040

Speaker 1: Nothing else.

879
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: We need to shout out Josh Walker.

880
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh Walker debut. That's about That's like, that's John's

881
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: Jeff Brigham, Josher. You've been fighting for Josh Walker as

882
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: long as we've known you to be on this team.

883
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: He's a great story.

884
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you know he went to college right quits

885
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,200

888
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: or twenty seventeen draft pick.

889
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: Thirty seventh round. I think, wow, he was. He was

890
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: very late. Injury after injury after injury. Huge guy, athletic guy.

891
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 4: He finally comes up, very good to see and hope

892
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,040

00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: who thinks baseball seasons ended may like all haters gonna hate.

899
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can convince those, but like

900
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: I think if there was anybody on the defense, you've

901
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: got to feel at least better after watching this series.

902
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: It was the Raiser are unequivocally the best team in baseball. Right,

903
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: this as just cool again the Seed team rise to

904
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: the occasion. Like you said last episode, Yeah, maybe the

905
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: team just needs to like really get into like some

906
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: crazy baseball. And like the atmosphere was pretty lively this week.

907
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: We won the chaos game. Yeah, we did win the

908
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: Chaos game, and that that really felt like a twenty

909
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: twenty two Mets, like shining, Yes, like crazy comeback, not quitting,

910
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: never say die. Two three run home runs, yeah, runs

911
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: to tie and win the game. When was the last

912
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: Mess three run home run?

913
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 3: Oh, there's a nugget about that.

914
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

915
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 4: The Mets are the first team in the expansion era

916
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 4: to hit a game tying three on home run the

917
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 4: ninth and a walk off through on homer in the tenth.

918
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 4: That had never happened since pretty much the entire history

919
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 4: of the Mets, but and any team. Yeah, that's that's

920
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 4: something else. That's insane. That's a great game.

921
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean we went to one of the Mets best game,

922
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: one of the best games like in recent Mets history.

923
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: And another caveat here. I'm seven two of Mets games

924
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: this year. You are seven and two. One of them

925
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: happened in Los Angeles. That was also the last time

926
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: Mets one series, but seven and two went to two

927
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: games this series. Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous, honestly, James,

928
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: the ballpark one, especially in terms of the actual record,

929
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: Like being seven to two is ridiculous. It's like, well,

930
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: we're twenty we're twenty two and twenty three, I think so. Yeah,

931
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: it's a third of the wins. So without without me

932
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: there fifth fifteen to twenty one. Yeah, wowed James Ciano

933
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: win the ballpark. I gotta get back here this weekend. Oh,

934
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: speaking of which, let's go ahead and go over that

935
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: estimate here. John, I know you do not get to

936
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: join us in the last one, no one.

937
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 3: I was out of town.

938
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: Yes back now. Relief pitcher innings by both teams. I

939
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: had twenty one, James had twenty who is the winner here?

940
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 4: The grand total thanks to Josh Fleming and Jalen Beeks

941
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 4: and Kevin Cash and a slew of injuries and the

942
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 4: Ray's rotation, uh twenty five and a third inning. So

943
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 4: Mark Mark wins again. He takes a two game lead.

944
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: But that's not that's something insurmountable. We can I had

945
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 4: twenty four.

946
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: First. I went against my gut, which was stupid. And

947
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, I special told you guys being in the

948
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: series that the Rays are star for pitching depth right

949
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: now and that really helps us win these games. We're

950
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: facing Kevin Kelly and late innings and he just that's it.

951
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 4: So now we got Cleveland up for the second of

952
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 4: this three or two series homestand six game homestand and

953
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: some familiar.

954
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 3: Faces on both sides. Obviously.

955
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 4: The big trade was a January seventh, I think twenty

956
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 4: twenty one.

957
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 3: It is not funny. I remember it well.

958
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 4: The next day, January seventh, the big trade went down

959
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 4: Francisco and d'Or becomes a met.

960
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: Are you guys laughing about the cups or no?

961
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I think John was busy that week.

962
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was, Uh what was I doing that week?

963
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: The NHL was about to start. Actually they started their season.

964
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: Like, did you catch Caps game?

965
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 3: I was no, they hadn't started yet.

966
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, no, that's someone else. But anyway,

967
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 4: they weren't allowing fans of the building at that time.

968
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 3: Anyway. So all right, so Cleveland's in town. The big deal.

969
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 4: You got Francisco Indoor on the Mets obviously now and

970
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 4: Carlos Carrasco will return. You guys will talk about that

971
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 4: in the second the med Rosario Andre Semenez coming back

972
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: for Cleveland.

973
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 3: Their first trip.

974
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 4: I believe the last time Cleveland came to City Field

975
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 4: was August of twenty nineteen. Remember the walk off hit

976
00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 4: JD against Brad Hand.

977
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was. That was a hot month for the boys.

978
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 3: That was. That was during the run that in the

979
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 3: run right hand.

980
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I would I just come back. I went up.

981
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: That was in Paris. I was like in Laguardi like

982
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: going through customs. I just got back, like listening to

983
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: that game on highway, like the second I got off,

984
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: because that was the game that went late, like sixteen innings.

985
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 3: Right, it went extras.

986
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 4: No, there was one game, so the Mets with the

987
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 4: first two I think that was Game two. The third

988
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 4: game Game two. Yeah again, in game two the Guardian

989
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 4: was rain, rain, rain, rain. There were two long delays

990
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 4: and Francona would not give in.

991
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 3: This was game three. They lost the first two and

992
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 3: there was no rain. No, no. That was game two, and

993
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: then game.

994
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 4: Three we had about three hours worth of rain delays

995
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 4: because the Guardians, I think they were still the Indians

996
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 4: at the time. They didn't want to get swept and

997
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 4: they refuse to just say yeah, we can't play. And

998
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: I remember I walked out of here at like one am,

999
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 4: didn't get to the Holland tunnel in time.

1000
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 3: I got home at like three that night. Disaster. But

1001
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 3: it's been a while I got hit a tunnel tunnel

1002
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 3: is wow.

1003
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 4: But anyway, so this series estimate, I want to know,

1004
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 4: we're gonna do a little combo here total basis of

1005
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 4: the position players involved in that trade, and to include

1006
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 4: Cookie Carrasco.

1007
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 3: Welcome back Cookie.

1008
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: We'll include his strikeats, that conglomerate number. Okay, so it's

1009
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 4: a tough one.

1010
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Rosario and him Andez not be very

1011
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: good this year. They're playing baseball, That's what I'll say. Yeah,

1012
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: they are playing baseball. I want to see how often

1013
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: they've both been playing, Like, are they still leave him

1014
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: playing every day? Well, Rokio did just get called up

1015
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: because Jay Ram is not playing in this series because

1016
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: on the bereavement list, we are really getting a lot

1017
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: of good players against us. So I believe he's not

1018
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: going to play this weekend because of the bereavement list.

1019
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: We just lost light. We're good.

1020
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. You guys are shining lights, so I

1021
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 3: think we're back.

1022
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: We're back in the light. It's voice activated, so I know.

1023
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: I guess Rokio is gonna play third then, surely, right,

1024
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: I don't think they can really lose these guys. Yeah,

1025
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: what are the numbers? We're feeling here? And you got

1026
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: Carrasco come back? First start, I take into account like

1027
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: your your best case, Snar's probably five innings realistically in

1028
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: the first start back, I'm gonna go with. I like

1029
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: this a lot that's gonna be Yeah, Mark.

1030
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: This quick math, it's just to the point you kind

1031
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,040

Speaker 1: Tanner Bybee, a favorite of the Messed Up podcast. That

1079
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: boy can pitch. Yeah, And then Friday evening Carls Carrasco

1080
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: versus cal Quandtruck could be probably a lot of contact

1081
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: in that game. Real international affair there. Yeah, Cal Quantrill,

1082
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: Canadian team Canada, a lot of North America, No United States,

1083
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: no United States. Interesting, it's also probably one of the

1084
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: oldest manager matchups you could possibly have in baseball. Yeah,

1085
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: with Terry and Buck. Besides besides Dusty, that's fair. Yeah,

1086
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: that's definitely one of the older ones. But you're looking

1087
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: at this lineup right now. Their their power, their their

1088
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: offense comes from Jose Ramirez. We'll say, we'll say absolute fact.

1089
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: Statistically speaking, yes, the Guardians have had have some of

1090
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: the fewest run scored in baseball. That is a stat statistically.

1091
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: I have no comment or thought or theory about what

1092
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: that means, but that is a stat that is true. Yeah,

1093
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: it's that, that's true. I'm going to get numbers right now.

1094
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: Especially in the power department. The Guards have struggle. They

1095
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: just they kind of seemed to do this every single

1096
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: year where everyone's like, oh, the Guardians are good. Guardians

1097
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: could like contend the AL They've always great pitching, great bullpen.

1098
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: I just need a couple of these bats to be

1099
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: what they gotta be. And over the years kind of

1100
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: like all right, this kind of just doesn't wind up

1101
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: the way they really wanted. They Jock will be back

1102
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: in city field. We know he loves to play against

1103
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: the Mets. Ye Guardians have Again, there's just another fact,

1104
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: the fact that the fewest home runs in baseball. Okay,

1105
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: the fact that is a fact. If twenty three of them.

1106
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: You ever heard of David Fry, David heard David Fry

1107
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: is on this team. I don't know who that is.

1108
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: And then otherwise, I mean, Jermanez has had a real

1109
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: step back this year after a breakout season last year

1110
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: he in terms of war, was theoretically an MVP candidate.

1111
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: He's somehow had like a one to four WRC plus.

1112
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: He was hitting the ball hard, he had a ton

1113
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: of twenty home runs. He wasn't hitting the ball hard, Yeah,

1114
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't in the ball heart just really finding good

1115
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:48,959
Speaker 1: ways to get it out. And this year he's taken

1116
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: kind of a big step back to kind of the

1117
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: Andres Jimdez. You guys probably remember when he was like

1118
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: slap hitting second basement. Asar has never taken the step,

1119
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: which I'm sure most Mess fans probably felt that. Stephen Kwan,

1120
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: while he was really fun last year, he's really just

1121
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: hits a lot of singles at the end of the day,

1122
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 1: Josh Bell is in a bit of disappointment. Josh Naylor

1123
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: crushes the ball, rushes the ball. Also Canadian, a couple

1124
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: of Canadians, and then brother Bow should get the call

1125
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: up soon. Yeah, Brother Bow is good. Yeah Naylor when

1126
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: that was a good baseball player. Then. Besides, at the

1127
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: bottom of this order, gabrielle Arius is just he's a

1128
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: good baseball player, but he's never really going to get

1129
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: to that power. It seems like Miles Straw, Will Brennan,

1130
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: Mike Sunino again, David Friarg and sy Brian Rochio plays

1131
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: a fun little prospect but also the same kind of

1132
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: Archaea type where I'm gonna make a lot of contact

1133
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: and play good defense, just just you know, you just

1134
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: gotta let's out hit these guys. One thing though, that

1135
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: we said the Rais don't necessarily have that. The Guardians

1136
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: definitely have that. Bullpen is money. It's insane. Bullpen is disgusting. Yeah,

1137
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Class hasn't even really been good this year.

1138
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: I think the area is like one to nine, it's

1139
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: two nine. But he's striking out nobody. He has thirteen strikeouts,

1140
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: never strikes No. He did last year a little bit,

1141
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: a little bit, ye, a little bit, but their bullpen

1142
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: is absolutely disgusting. No, yeah, apart from Class A James

1143
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: Karen Chack has somehow found a way to be good again.

1144
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: Who knows, who knows how or why. Trevor Stefan, stephan

1145
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: Is Stefens, Steph Stefan's good. Sam Hensch is the guy

1146
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: who I don't think his stats are really great, but

1147
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: you know he has like a really crazy fastball from

1148
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: the left side. He's a huge dud. He's like six',

1149
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: Eight he's a heavy. Fastball it really gets on. You

1150
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: annio Del santo is one of my, favorite like the

1151
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: sleeper relievers in the whole. LEAGUE i think one of

1152
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: the first articles you told me that you ever wrote

1153
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: about Had annal Del santos something like. That, yeah he

1154
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: just he just just throws a lot of, junk a

1155
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: lot of lots of pitches for a. Reliever it gets

1156
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: a lot of whiffs on all of. Them but this

1157
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: ballpen is is fearful and all The guardians have good starting.

1158
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: Pitching Kyle, quantcholl you, know he pitches a lot of.

1159
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: Contact he always finds way they get good results year

1160
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: after year and then By bee just he came up.

1161
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: Recently he was one of those prospects who like was

1162
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: not a prospect, list but like just always have amazing

1163
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: stats in the miners as a wipeout. Slide they're a

1164
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: really good fastball with. Life he's. Good and Then Shane

1168
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: Useful guardians play good. Defense they're pitching solid like you're

1169
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to play clean games to beat The. Guardians
