Speaker 1: here doing mess Up Podcast episode number five. We've got

Speaker 1: a lot to talk about in today's episode, as always,

22
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: an interesting series with the Marlins to say the least.

23
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: But before we do get going into it, let's just

24
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,360

Speaker 1: at Mets Up.

29
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: James just really weird series against the Marlins. Before we

30
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: do start, I want to point out that Mark's office

31
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: is my former bedroom as a peak behind the curtain,

32
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: so while it may look small, it is also that small.

33
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Yes, no, it's a little tiny here, it's a little

34
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: close quarters. And this is our first time trying out

35
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: doing it live in person with each other. Because you guys,

36
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: if you've been watching it on YouTube, know that we've

37
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: been doing this through zoom. But for those of you

38
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: who have only been listening to it, it's probably sounded

39
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: pretty good. The audio has never really been an issue.

40
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: Definitely exactly the same. Yeah, no, it's it's gonna sound

41
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: great today. So we're here together. We went to the

42
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Mets game yesterday. We watched obviously Mets game home opener.

43
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: There's so much to talk about with this Mets team.

44
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: Kind of continuing on the.

45
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Last episode, not a lot of great going on right now.

46
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: Things just don't really feel very right with the Mets

47
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: right now. They're starting. Pitching has been a bright spot,

48
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: the bullpen's been okay, and the lineup has been bad,

49
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: which honestly kind of is the opposite of what we

50
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: thought was gonna happen when we're talking preseason. Yeah, definitely.

51
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I just like the pitching. I mean, Taiwan and Walker

52
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: looked fantastic real quick. We're going to go into these stuff,

53
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: into this stuff a lot more deeper, but like Walker

54
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: and de Gram obviously looked really good, amazing, really really solid.

55
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: So that's like, that's a positive, that's a really good

56
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: thing to take out of it. But as you said,

57
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: the hitting has been abysmal, awful. What's the word that

58
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: we used last week to talk about.

59
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: The Marlins anemic? Anemic? Yeah, the Mets. The Mets have

60
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: been anemic.

61
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Mets have been anemic. It's just been it's so frustrating,

62
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: like even the at bats were taking and these are

63
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: games that we should be winning and we did get

64
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: one win.

65
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: So it's not like an advantageous offensive situations like there

66
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: were multiple times in the first two games of their

67
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: men on men's scoring position less than two outs and

68
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: the Mets just aren't doing the small fundamental things right,

69
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 2: like moving runners over, driving people home that need to

70
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: become home. It's just it's it's I don't know, it's

71
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: not on spiring.

72
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: And I feel like these are things that we've seen

73
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Mets teams in the past, like you can go to

74
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, even where especially like when Chilia

75
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Davis came around, the first time the Mets were driving runners,

76
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: it was runners of scoring position. They were hitting situationally,

77
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: like playing just good baseball, And right now the Mets

78
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: are just simply not playing good baseball outside of their

79
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: starting pitching department.

80
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: None. There were two instances and yesterday's game where the

81
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: Mets had a runner on first and third, nobody out

82
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: and scored zero runs. That's unheard though. It can't happen.

83
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: That physically cannot happen, especially against the Marlins. And we

84
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: had chances against the relievers too, and we left so

85
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: many guys on base, and it feels like that's like

86
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: always a big thing for the Mets, is runners in

87
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: scoring position, men left on base, and I think we

88
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: saw a stat on the home opener of that. At

89
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: some point they were six for their last twenty nine

90
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: or six.

91
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: For thirty who may even referenced that last episode. Yeah,

92
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: they left like thirty men on base or something in

93
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: three games.

94
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to even think the game against the

95
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Marlins that we won when we scored our runs, was

96
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: there besides I guess your may and Nimo no.

97
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: I guess then we should just start there with the

98
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: last inning from Thursday night, because.

99
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: That is that is quite that's quite the hot topic

100
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: around major League baseball because Michael canfordo that elbow man.

101
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: But again, what got lost in the fold of all

102
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: the craziness around Canforth though, and just the chaos of

103
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: the entire inning was Jeff McNeil's clutch home run. Yes,

104
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: a moonshot, Yeah, to start the ninth inning for a

105
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: guy who has been not been able to get off

106
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: the schneide all season. He hadn't had a hit yet

107
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: before that home run. I think he still doesn't have

108
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: another hit. Yeah, I don't. I don't think play right now. Yeah,

109
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: but that was incredibly clutch off not so great reliever,

110
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: but doesn't change the fact that McNeil tied the game

111
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: and saved the Mets first week of the season. More

112
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: or less birthday.

113
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: Boy too nine And the bat flip was incredible. Yeah,

114
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: I mean like he hit it, he shucked it, he

115
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: crushed it, so he knew that ball was gone. He

116
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: turned around flipped it.

117
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: He was pumped.

118
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: Like. That's kind of stuff that I thought, Like, I

119
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: really did think that was gonna wake up the Mets,

120
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: even if they did lose that game, Like especially with

121
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: what happened with Yorme getting a hit and then Nimo

122
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: getting a hit, Like I was like, Okay, maybe that's

123
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: what they needed a little bit of a spark to

124
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 1: get this team going. And then of course we can't

125
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: not talk about the ninth inning without talking about what

126
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: happened Toknforno definitely, which I've never seen before.

127
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like that in my life. Honestly,

128
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: being at the game made it a little bit confusing.

129
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: I was standing in center field near the seven lines,

130
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: just watching and standing room WHI you couldn't really see

131
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: that well what happened. It looked like a strike on

132
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: the straightaway view and the Empire originally called him out,

133
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: so I actually like turned around, I sucked and I

134
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: like sat down on the chains that like separate like

135
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: the the handicap section over there, and then I was

136
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: with my dad. He like tapped me on the back.

137
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: He's like, no, look look it hit him and hit him.

138
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: I was like, what, really, are you serious. It wasn't

139
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 2: until being on the train after the game and I

140
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: was able to go on my phone and look at

141
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 2: Twitter and see slow motion replays and listen to Gary

142
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 2: Keith and Ron's takes, I really understood the full breadth

143
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: of what had happened.

144
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just to talk on Gary Keith and

145
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: Ron real quick, what other teams announcers would have been

146
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: so vehemently against the ending a win a win?

147
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: They were like, so upset that the Mets won that way. Oh,

148
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: Gary less so and Ron less so these days, but

149
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: Keith still more so. Those guys are like students of

150
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: the old school of the game. They love baseball the

151
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: way it is, not the way it is the way

152
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: it was, and they don't really like to see the

153
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: sport They love tarnishes anyway. And they did not mince

154
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: their words, and they believed that what Confortho did was

155
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: bush league. Not to use the derogatory state baseball teris

156
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: bush league. That's that's pretty serious.

157
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: You know it was definitely bush league, but like also

158
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: at the same time, like, okay, I mean I would

159
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: have rather had Confordo swing at the bat, swing the ball,

160
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: try to put the ball in play with one out. Yeah,

161
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: it was a perfectly hittable pitch. It was a strike,

162
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: like we said, like the pitch was literally in the

163
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: strike zone by a good margin.

164
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: There were other hittable pitches that bad.

165
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, his bats have been horrendous.

166
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: Ethny Bass is not scaring anybody. He there's no reason

167
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 2: for him to even be the Marlins closer. He scares

168
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Marlins fans, that's about it. He's a mediocre closer at best.

169
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: And the other guys that ending again hitting the ball

170
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: like McNeil crushed one vr VNE ball in play, but

171
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: he still put the bat in the ball be that single.

172
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: And then Nimo hit the double down the line.

173
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: That was that ending. Yeah, that was the same, just

174
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: a second and third.

175
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, Canfordo I mean bush lyg but like he's

176
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: not a bush league player by any means.

177
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: That's like the first time ever. This isn't there's no

178
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: history of Michael CANFOURD doing weird things like this. If

179
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: it was VR people have had more things to say.

180
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: Canford there's always been like a stand up, reserves regular guy.

181
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: He just plays the game the right way pretty much,

182
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: and know if what he did was necessarily on purpose

183
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: or if it was like a reflex or it was

184
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: a weird pitch in a weird spot, like you don't

185
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: really see high sliders that move that much. No, it

186
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: moved so much because it started off really down the

187
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: middle and it did have a lot of late break.

188
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: But like even him talking about after the game, he's like,

189
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, like I just turned I thought it was

190
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: coming in. I was turning like getting out of the way,

191
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: And I mean, he knows what happened.

192
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: He's not dumb. And for a team that gets plunked,

193
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: he's not one of the guys who gets plunked.

194
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: No, it's always McNeil and Nimo. And like we want

195
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: to talk about because people were complaining on Twitter all

196
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: throughout the game, and Marlins fans are right, Marlins fans

197
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: have every right to complain about that that one's stunk.

198
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: Yes, but I see.

199
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: People on Twitter, you know, fans of other teams complaining

200
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: about this is like okay, Well, Anthony Rizzo for the

201
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Cubs does every single time. I think you told me

202
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: about Victor robles Y.

203
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: Apparently this was a stat I saw on Twitter. Howie

204
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: Rose may have mentioned it after the game. But there

205
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: have been twelve businessas since two thousand and eight of

206
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: a player being hit by a pitch in the strike zone,

207
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: and Victor Roeblisz has three of them and only in

208
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: like two hundred career games.

209
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: It's crazy, and I saw some highlights to it. Even

210
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: talk about Josey Tabita against the against Maxer's Maxers are

211
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: throwing them a perfect game.

212
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: That was a crazy deep track from Mark.

213
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I gotta give a shout out to the editor of

214
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel, Jackson for that one, because I didn't

215
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: even mention it in my video talking about Camforda getting

216
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: hit by on the elbow, and during like the editing process,

217
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna throw the jose Tabata thing, I'm like,

218
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, I forgot about that, and that's way

219
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: work seemed below a perfect game and that pitch was

220
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: a strike as well.

221
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: This was exasperated because it was the bases loathed in

222
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: a high game in the ninth inning. If Mike and

223
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: FOURD would have been hit by a pitch and the

224
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: strikes with the bases loathed, even in the sixth inning

225
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: or the seventh inning it was, there would have been much

226
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: less hoopla.

227
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: It would have been talked about, is like he got

228
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: hit by a strike, because I like everyone loves to

229
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: post the MLB game feed from mb dot com and

230
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: be like this pitch was a strike called the ball,

231
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: this one was he was hit by this pitch. But

232
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: I just I don't know, I feel like it was

233
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: so pett like.

234
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: So also a function of the metroplaying in the day

235
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: game in their home opener. There weren't that many games

236
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: on Thursday. There weren't I think this was maybe only

237
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: one other day game, so there was like a couple

238
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: hours where there was nothing even on Twitter, and this

239
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: just went.

240
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: Rocket and like I feel like defending the Mets here

241
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: we won.

242
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's a crack. A win is a win.

243
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: Win is a win. A win is a win.

244
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: So I think Steve Cone even tweeted out about it,

245
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: right or something like essentially a win is a win.

246
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty, it wasn't good, and I understand, you know,

247
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't the right way to win the game.

248
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: Who really Cares.

249
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm not the morality judge of Major League.

250
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: Basebo are gatekeepers.

251
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm If the Mets are gonna get another win,

252
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: sign me up, because here's what's gonna happen. If this

253
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be the Mets wing this way, it

254
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: was gonna be someone else. It was gonna be against

255
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: the Mets, and everybody on Twitter who was calling out

256
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: the Mets for being bush and all this kind of

257
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: stuff would be the first people to tweet out lol Mets.

258
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: They would be the first people to jump down Mets

259
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: fans throats and be like, imagine losing this way.

260
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: If this was reversed and the Marlins beat the Mets

261
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: this way, the Mets would have been dragged NonStop. Literally,

262
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: the Mets win and you get made fun of. The

263
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: Mets lose to get made fun of, So we just

264
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: have to keep playing.

265
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: Like the butt fumble for Sanchez was like, what not

266
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: top ten number one for like three years? It had

267
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: to be retired, had to be retired if that happened

268
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: to the Mets, Like, I wouldn't be surprised if that

269
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: was number one on Sports Center, not ten for a

270
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, literally at least, so like, spare me

271
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: please when you're complaining and crying about the unfair win

272
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: by the New York Mets, because no no team's ever

273
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: had an unfair win in Major League Baseball before, especially

274
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: the Mets have never had anything go their way or

275
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: anything or have a go against them. They're just gifted

276
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: by God every single time they step on the field.

277
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: The Mets woner World Series one time because of ball

278
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: and through a guy's legs. Things happen in baseball, like,

279
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: this is not the end of the world. It's a

280
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: fourth game of the season. For crying out.

281
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: Loud, The Royals won Game one of the World Series

282
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: against the Mets because Joanna Sisma has dropped the ball

283
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: and then it kicked eighty five feet away from him

284
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: after he missed it, like the off his toe. Yeah, granted,

285
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: that wasn't bush league. We want to talk about bush league.

286
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: Well, moments ago, the Yankees just blew a game open

287
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: because Manuel Margaux, usually a very short handed outfield, they're

288
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: caught a bad hop off the heel of his glove

289
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: and it bounced over his head, and.

290
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: Like, I get it, that's not bush league. So that's

291
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: probably like everyone's arguments like, oh, it's not bush League,

292
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: but there have been instances where there's been bush League

293
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: stuff that's influenced the game. I mean, you want to

294
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: talk about bush League, I'm gonna bring it up. And

295
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: it's a curse name here. But Chase Outley breaking Ruben

296
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: to Hot his leg. Talk about bush League that was

297
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: in a playoff game.

298
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: Bush League, that's a crime, criminal offense, and Chase up.

299
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: Still he's still walking free. Still assault.

300
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: He ruined Reuben to Hott's career at least two years

301
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: of his life as well. Hasn't really played in the

302
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: Major since then. But that's we're off topic now.

303
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's get let's get back to the home opener

304
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: and talk about tywe Walker.

305
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, bush league, Mets one get mad.

306
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: But tywe Walker is the real story here. From opening day,

307
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: he was back up to his pre Tommy John surgery

308
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: velocity levels. He topped out of ninety seven, he sat

309
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: ninety five. This was his first time touching ninety seven

310
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: since twenty seventeen, almost four full years since he's hit

311
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: that mile per hour, and his average fastball velocity had

312
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: been below ninety four since the twenty seventeen season, so

313
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: That alone tells me, especially the way Jeremy Heffner's worked

314
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: with pictures on this staff and pitchers the Twins, that

315
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: we may have found a new gear Tywan Walker that

316
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: people have been waiting for for what like a decade

317
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: since he was a minor leaguer.

318
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was so highly touted. He was like always

319
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: this big, strong kid and he always he had a

320
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: strong arm. So it's not like this guest stuff wasn't there,

321
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: It just needed to be found again. After the Tommy John.

322
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen to twenty six and he was regularly touching

323
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour, like this is inside of him.

324
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: And now that he's developed a couple more off speed pitches.

325
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: He spent the twenty nineteen offseason at drive Line. He

326
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: developed a sinker that was very good. In opening day

327
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: he got no whisp, but they got nine called strikes

328
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: on only seventeen pitches thrown, which is very impressive. These

329
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: the sinker and the slide there he introduced again last

330
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: year coming off of drive Line. They were great for

331
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: getting ground balls, great for getting whist. They complimented the

332
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: fastball beautifully. Gave me a lot of confidence moving forward.

333
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: No I felt really good watching him, Like even from

334
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: the first pitch of the game, he threw right in

335
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: their first strike, he struck out the first batter. You

336
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,479
Speaker 1: heard the crowd roar at City.

337
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,359
Speaker 2: Those first two batters.

338
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Were electric, Yeah, you heard it roared, Like I was

339
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: shocked at how loud it was. And I think it's

340
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: like when you get a guy out there, especially like

341
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: who's a new player in the home opener after a

342
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: year and a half of not being in City field.

343
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: The first game back, he started off absolutely perfect, and

344
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was going to be the story for

345
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: the game, is like, Wow, we're back and this was

346
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: gonna be the new leaf on the twenty twenty one season,

347
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: which is crazy to say, by the way five games

348
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: into it, but we didn't have a great series against Phillies,

349
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: and I thought this was getting us on the right

350
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: step in the right direction, on a good foot, because

351
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: he really did look so sharp.

352
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: I was so excited with what I saw from him.

353
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: He looks like he could legitimately be a foundational piece

354
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: of this rotation. The fact that we signed him in

355
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: February after missing out on a couple of players who

356
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: will not be names, like it's it gets a lot

357
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: of confidence.

358
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I'm feeling really good about him, especially like

359
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: if we let's say Carrasco, we STI.

360
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: Don't really know when he's back, right, and I think

361
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: it's it would be whove of us to just take

362
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: our time.

363
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

364
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 2: No, of course, there's no reason to rush.

365
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: Just keep your head, especially if a guy like Walker

366
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: is going to pitch this well, because that gives you

367
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: the luxury then of you don't need to rush him back.

368
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: You also then don't need to rush Cinderguard back. We

369
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: want these guys back, rush, but there's no rush rush

370
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: because we're not in a scenario where it's like we

371
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: need pitching. We have three legitimately strong starting pitchers right

372
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: now and de gram Strowman and Walker. We got more

373
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: guys coming in the arsenal. Lukeasey looked at decent the

374
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: other day filling in Peterson struggled at the start but

375
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: did good. Like I think Walker is going to be

376
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: a huge catalyst in this rotation, and being able to

377
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: see him start that strong in his first appearance looked

378
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: really good. It's really positive.

379
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: Signed And of course we just mentioned the Marlins offense

380
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: is not good, bad bad, So you need to do

381
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: this against a team like the Marlins, and then we'll

382
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 2: see next week he's probably lined up to pitch. He's

383
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: not lined up in the Philly series. He'll pitsh the weekend.

384
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's see today with Stroman, so that leaves

385
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: us Tomorrow would be.

386
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: Peterson and then Walker.

387
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: He's pitching against the Phillies on Tuesday night, So I

388
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: think Walker is gonna pitch Tuesday, which I'll be at

389
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: that game.

390
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: Woo.

391
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: I get to see the time one Walker pitch, hopefully

392
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: not like yesterday's game. But yeah, Tylan Walker looks really good.

393
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm really excited with that. He was a guy that

394
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I was nervous about, but we really

395
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: didn't know what we were getting. Yeah, because there's a

396
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: lot of good stuff on, Like the periphery periphery is

397
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: that the right word, peripheral, peripheral the sides of your vision, Yeah,

398
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: whatever they're called your His peripherals are really good things

399
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: we couldn't see clearly. Yeah, his peripherals were really good.

400
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: But like sometimes the performance or the statistics on the

401
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: field like just didn't show like he has some high

402
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: ras a point gave up. He had some bad innings

403
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: like that's just gonna happen for a guy coming back

404
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: from Tommy John years.

405
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: He wasn't right.

406
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it looks like we're starting to at least

407
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: get him in the right direction of looking right. And

408
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: that opening day start or the home opener start is

409
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: a really good way to get going in his BET's career.

410
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: And then who came in relief after him?

411
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: Because it was a solid game with Castro? Yeah, and

412
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: Castro looks sick again, sick, looks sick again. And May

413
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: look everything was clicking for him too, which is that's

414
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: may you're expecting. Yeah, one hundred percent. Like his fastballs

415
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: sly there, zippin'. And he wasn't throwing the change up.

416
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: I've noticed when he's thrown his change up. That's a

417
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: bad sign. Who's throwing his change up a lot in

418
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: the game that he wasn't pitching well.

419
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: And what do you know, I'm telling you, I really

420
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: think that had to do something with the weather those

421
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: nights in Philadelphia, because Thursday was a nice, warm after

422
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: beutif it was a beautiful day to watch a ball game,

423
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: but those evenings in Philly were cold, it's probably much

424
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: more difficult for him to grip the slyther, So that's

425
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: probably why he was focusing on the change up, which

426
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: again that's his tertiary pitch. It's okay, but it's not

427
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: the slider.

428
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: No, it's not an out pitch by any means. It's

429
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: to get me over, maybe steal a strike. Hopefully you

430
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: are just not anticipating it.

431
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: But those two athings also from Castro and Daz, two

432
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: guys who can be a little bit of radic sometimes

433
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: not throw strikes. Castro was peppering the zone. He was

434
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: not afraid of anybody.

435
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: And that's the Castro that we need to see because

436
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: last year when we got him, he was a little

437
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: all over the place, like you said, erratic, and that's

438
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: always been his big issue, is his control. Because then

439
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: I remember watching him as an Oriels pitcher pitch against

440
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: the Yankees. I felt like this dude was always three

441
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: I on people and then had to throw a fastball

442
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: right down the middle. And when you're a professional hitter,

443
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: knowing that a fastball's coming, you're gonna hit it pretty far.

444
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: But now when he's getting ahead in the account, that

445
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: one O one fastball plus the slider plus all these

446
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: other pitches that he's been throwing has really been solid

447
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: for him. It's helped him out so much.

448
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: No, definitely, for four running years, castro had a walk

449
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: rate over ten percent, which you cannot have as any pitcher,

450
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: especially a reliever. And he is still yet to walk

451
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: a batther this season.

452
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: That's really good, which is really three four innings?

453
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: How many inks do you have now? I think three

454
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: or four somewhere in that range. Pitch in three games,

455
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: which it seems like a three innings. It seems like

456
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: he's gonna be one of the horses in this bullpen.

457
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: Rojas seems to really really trust him, which if he's

458
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: throwing like that, I do too.

459
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, until he gives us a reason this year not

460
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: to trust him, keep throwing him out there every day

461
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: in the seventh inning, especially because we don't have Lugo

462
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: yet and we don't really know when he's coming back either.

463
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: It's really good to see Miguel Casher step up. It

464
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: was really good to see Trevor May have a solid

465
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: outing off of a bad one, and it was really

466
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 1: good to see Edwin Diaz finally getting the game, which, yeah,

467
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: but now that's tie has changed a little bit now yeah,

468
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: but I don't know IDAs. Yeah, no, of course, And

469
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm still always on the fence with Edwin DS.

470
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: But I guess is a great time to have segue. Yeah,

471
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: we've been talking about the pitching a lot because we're

472
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: looking for positives and that's the only part we're procrastinating

473
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 2: talking about the negatives, which is the Mets offense.

474
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so bad right now, Like this is it's

475
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: five games, so whatever, they're not gonna hit like this.

476
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: Like there are people, I think you said, we're talking

477
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter about like some of the worst offenses in

478
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: the league and we're including the Mets, and it's like

479
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: you've clearly never watched the game of baseball. You're strictly

480
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: looking at the five games that they've played, and even then,

481
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: like there's still way worse teams offensively, which is somehow

482
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: crazy to even talk about.

483
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: The Tiger's just had thirteen hits in three games.

484
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's that's we're on pace for that

485
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: probably in this series right now. But yeah, the offense

486
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: has been a knemik abysmal, uh.

487
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: Atroch atrocious stock.

488
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, abhorrent is that that's a great one s at word.

489
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: There is sat word for the Pasca Hast episode. We

490
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: always got a drop one for you. Everyone at the

491
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: plate looks super uncomfortable, except for about two guys, three guys.

492
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: Brandon Demo, Yes, Dom Smith. Yeah, he's he's hitting the

493
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: ball hard. Yeah, he's making some loud out.

494
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: He had the hardest ball play yesterday. It's true.

495
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: And Jacob de Gram, who's a picture for you. So

496
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: whenever you include your three best hitters for the season

497
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: right now, and one's a pitcher who's only had two games.

498
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: He's played snake too, He's had some good at bats.

499
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: One he's been on.

500
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: True he has, yeah, he hasn't, just really on a

501
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: couple of walks. He had that infield single started the round.

502
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: And I think he had a couple of hits against

503
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: the Phillies the other game where we got smacked too.

504
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: But as of when we sit here right now on Sunday,

505
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: April eleven, Jacob de Gram has the highest WRC plus

506
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: on the Mets.

507
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a problem.

508
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: That's terrifying.

509
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: And it's not even like I don't know what his

510
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: WRC plus is. It doesn't matter.

511
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: It's like the two hundreds.

512
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, But regardless, whatever it is, doesn't matter if your

513
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: picture has the highest WRC plus for you, you are

514
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: doing something wrong. It's not a positive, it's a negative.

515
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: Do you want me to tell you what really made

516
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: me irate yesterday?

517
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: I would love to hear it.

518
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 2: When Da Graham had the lead off single, he got

519
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: the second base somehow, maybe there was a walk or

520
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 2: Nimmo made might have walked after him. I think got

521
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: in the base hit and then who is a fly ball?

522
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: Lindor hit a fly ball to center? Yes, and to

523
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: Grom he had to wherewith all freaking baseball player who

524
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: wants the d H He tagged up from second base.

525

Speaker 2: He his sprint speed. Sarah Lang tweet is out. Sarah

526
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: Lang elite statistician who is big part big part of

528
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: only seen the name.

529
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm not too familiar with her radio broadcast Howie Rose

530
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: talks about her all the time.

531
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: She's got to be a met y. You don't like

532
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: her if she's a a met person, but her his

533
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: sprint speed clocks from second to third was higher than

00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: the average prince speed major League Baseball. He's got those

535
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: long ass as a freaking athlete. He's such a freak.

536
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 2: And we were, Me and James were at the game yesterday,

537
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: a courtesy of Jeff McNeill. Thank you for the tickets.

538
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: You dropping the cloud there.

539
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: Big cloud, Love you, Jeff. So yeah, we saw him

540
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 2: go back to second base and James looks like he's

541
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: gonna tag for third. He's gonna tag up to thirty.

542
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: So you got your shair and you're like, baseball.

543
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: Right is baseball? It's baseball. I had to be making

544
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: a play any plays on second base in a game

545
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 2: where your team can't score and the other starting pitcher

546
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: has his ship working, which we'll get the more Trevor Rodge.

547
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: But he had a shit working. Looked really good, Like

548
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: you have to do little things like that to put

549
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: yourself in ambition to score a run. And then Michael

550
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: Confourlia came up with one out and first and third.

551
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: He struck out like four pitches.

552
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he didn't catch up. We talked about it

553
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: last week or last episode.

554
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 2: How he lost. He looked at the plate.

555
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: It's gotten significantly worse.

556
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 2: He is. Did he put a ball in play this series?

557
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: He did? Oh yeah, the double play in the seventh

558
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: inning when the Mets had first and third and one

559
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 2: out in the Marlins game, and he like got jammed

560
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: on it too.

561
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Like his swing is against like debt Wiler or something. Yeah,

562
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: Like his swing is like super sluggish right now. Keith

563
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: was talking about it apparently yesterday on the broadcast. He's

564
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: dropping his shoulder, pulling off. Everything's just wrong right now.

565
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: And luckily we saw Rojas drop him down the lineup

566
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: for what was supposed to be our game today because

567
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: he just physically can't be hitting third right now. And

568
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: he's going to be back at some point. He's gonna

569
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: be fine.

570
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm not Michael Fourdy're gonna look up in three weeks

571
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: he'll be like, oh, he has eight home runs. He's

572
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: saying two sixty. That's weird.

573
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna be fine. But right now he's lost. He's

574
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: seriously lost. He doesn't know what's going on. He is

575
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: just like pressing as well because he knows.

576
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: He got booed.

577
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: Yesterday, with which sucks.

578
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: You hate that.

579
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of you know, Mets fans booing especially.

580
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: You can't anybody in April, not.

581
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: In April there you know who you could have booted

582
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: if it was Diaz and he's still stunk. But he

583
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: had another good season last year, and he did get

584
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: booed yesterday. Anyway, a multi year booing after Yeah, sure,

585
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: but but Michael Golufordo has been one of my best

586
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: players since he's come up as of yet because he

587
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: has a bad five game stretch.

588
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: I just didn't like that low. But again, to play

589
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 2: Devil's advocate, he's been a single handed rally killer. Oh,

590
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: he's multiple occasions this season.

591
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: I would love to know what the number is of

592
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: what his bad or runners left on bases this year,

593
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: because it's got to be close to twenty something.

594
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: Thursday's game, he did not come up without men on

595
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: base every single Beta.

596
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: It just it just feels like every time the Mets

597
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: need a big hit, he's coming up. And normally I

598
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: would have loved that because in the past he has

599
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: been so clutch and has been able to drive in

600
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: runners in scoring position and just get the job done

601
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: for the Mets. But right now he's just not able

602
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: to And maybe it's a little bit of you know,

603
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterback. Maybe it's a little bit of uh,

604
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, hindsight's twenty twenty. He's just he can't be

605
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: hitting through right now. He dropped to what's six today?

606
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, he was six or seven six spot.

607
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: The Mets also seem to seemingly not care about lefties

608
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: in a row anymore.

609
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: Which, Yeah, from not caring at all to stacking three

610
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: Lefti's bomb in the oiler. There's no real consistency there,

611
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: which is troubling.

612
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love the idea of you know, we talked

613
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: about this earlier, remember when Paular we talked about him

614
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: in the lineup and about how Rojas if he's going

615
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: to stick to his you know, guns, is he going

616
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: to stick to them?

617
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it.

618
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: Seems like very quickly, Yeah, he's left the guns left immediately,

619
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: which honestly, I'm okay with that because the guns weren't working.

620
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: No, yeah, but the guns away.

621
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the guns away. We need the guns, we

622
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: don't need them.

623
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. Conforto hitting six, it's fine, that's fine,

624
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: especially when you have other guys in this order who

625
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: can produce. When you have a Dominic Smith and Jeff

626
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: McNeil hitting between five and seven, the order you can

627
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: wiggle around. That is a luxury of having a deep

628
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: team with plenty of established major league hitters.

629
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, this, I mean, the lineup's good, The lineups

630
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: really solid, just nobody's hitting outside of the first guy

631
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: and the last guy.

632
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: Hard to hear that the lineup's good. I think I

633
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: know it is, but.

634
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: Like it's that's someone's gonna be like Mets bias. If

635
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: there's any non Mets fans watching this that like to

636
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: give me crap about that.

637
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: But it's not false. No, But I also have more

638
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: of a problem with the Mets not hitting Nick neither

639
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: it on Thursday than Trevor Rodgers yesterday. Trevor Rodgers had

640
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: it going on. Yet That's what everyone's saying is that

641
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: he was filthy. He he had the highest CSW rate

642
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 2: of any pictuer of pitch yesterday. That's really good.

643
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: Shout outlex Fast for that.

644
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. CSW is called strikes and whiffs.

645
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, Trevor Rodgers apparently was clicking on all cylinders.

646
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: He's got good stuff. He was what did we say this,

647
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: He was sitting ninety seven, Yeah, ninety eight from the

648
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: left side.

649
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand Michael of not being able to hit that.

650
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: That's okay.

651
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're facing one of the nastier left handers in

652
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: the league. Essentially, I'm not saying like talent wise or

653
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: what he's done in the past, but the stuff that

654
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: he had yesterday, it's gonna be really, really hard to hit.

655
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: It seems like a guy who's probably on the precipice

656
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: of a breakout, especially the way a lot of other

657
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: Marlins pitchers have taken steps in the last year. I

658
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: could see a universe where Trevor Rodgers is a fantastic

659
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: pitcher in a few months.

660
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: But that being said, I don't care how good Trevor

661
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers pitches. He can't you can't lose the Gram on

662
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: the mound to the Marlins. Now, even with Trevor Rodgers

663
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: pitching arguably probably the best game of his career. Right now,

664
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: the Mets cannot lose to the Marlins and Trevor Rodgers

665
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: with the Gram on the mound.

666
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: The worst part was the even let him off the hook.

667
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: Like the Mets had something going. In the first inning,

668
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 2: Nimo had the double I think the first pitch of

669
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: the game.

670
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was he was hot, he was right off

671
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: the rep crack and then Lindora dropped the great bun

672
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: he'd be it out for a single, and me and

673
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: you both were like, oh baby, here we were, especially

674
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: especially after the McNeil thing, after the Conforda thing. Again,

675
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier in the episode right now, but

676
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: I thought that was the moment where something clicked, the

677
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: light bulb went off and everybody was ready to go

678
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: the boys in.

679
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: But clearly that's not the case. No, And then there

680
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: was a weird play right after that where it was

681
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: either the first or second pitch of the bat too

682
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: confour though, where Lindor attempted to steal second base and

683
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: the pitch Michael can Fourth swung at. And we don't

684
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: know very much about Rojas as a manager, but now

685
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: that the Mets are more analytically in client, it seems

686
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 2: like there's gonna be less stolen bases and less hitt

687
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: runs too. So we were talking about whether we thought

688
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: if this was actually a straight steal that before they

689
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 2: missed a sign, if it was a called hit and

690
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: run working forth, we just missed the pitch, or if

691
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 2: Lindor just has a green light, if there was no

692
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: sign given, he just felt an opportunity to run, and

693
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: we'll never find that out. It wasn't reference in the

694
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: press conference.

695
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: Yesterday, which is kind of interesting that nobody asked that question.

696
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: So much game happened after that that we forgot that's true,

697
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: Like there was three hours of hardship after that game,

698
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 2: crawling through Mutt.

699
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: That that inning also kind of set the tone for

700
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: the game too, because the literally.

701
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: We didn't have a chance for five innings after that.

702
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: It felt like we didn't even have a base runner

703
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: until then, the until this the Grom situation, and then

704
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: spoke about it, and.

705
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: Then literally the next inning, Jazzuardo stepped up to the place.

706
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Jazz Jazz Chishom stepped up to the plate and crushed

707
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: a one hundred mile an hour fastball that was like

708
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: ten inches out of the zone. Was such a bob

709
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: up in the zone as well, crushed it effortlessly to.

710
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: Give Mark a stitch a credit here that I don't

711
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: love to do. Pregame, he was like, if any was

712
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: gonna get to Grom, it's going to be Jazz because

713
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: Jazz love sits.

714
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: He loves to sit dead red. Jazz is a dead

715
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: red guy. And you were talking about it too, like

716
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: he's a strikeout walk, home run gun yea.

717
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: Which is true. Three outcome, which is like super rare.

718
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: To find in like a middle infielder like him as well,

719
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: because he's like also super fast and really good athlete

720
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: and has a decent glove.

721
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 2: Very fun too, fun player. We saw his rock in

722
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: the chain. See he's seen from.

723
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: Planes flying over City Field from LaGuardia. The thing was huge.

724
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: Aguli rocks one too. It's sick.

725
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, the Marlins got some a little bit of swag. Ever,

726
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: since that first sitting thing started to go downhill, de

727
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: Gram pitched his absolute fucking heart out. He might have

728
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: had his best start ever as impossibly.

729
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: We're so numb to how good he is, but he

730
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: was so good yesterday. He was sitting one hundred miles

731
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: an hour, sitting effortlessly. He got most whiffs of any

732
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: of his pitches on a fastball that's nuts.

733
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: Well, even from the first pitch of the game he

734
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: did did you do the first ending fastball?

735
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: Only went it looked like it again. Actually it was

736
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: weird in the stadium. There was no radar gun and

737
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: no pitch readings at all on City Field yesterday, so

738
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: maybe that was a da Gram thing. He doesn't want

739
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: to glow. He's on a show boat.

740
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: I can see de Graham totally being like, and it's

741
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: not that I don't think he's even looking for it.

742
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: I just think he's like, I don't want anyone to

743
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: even talk about how hard. Let me pitch, Let me

744
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: do my thing, Let me get the job done. He did,

745
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: and the Mets just couldn't get it John done for him.

746
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: It's very hard to pick up Jacob de Grom's pitches

747
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: from the stadium. Is that Slyder? Was that a fastball? Like?

748
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: Who knows?

749
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: Because everything is what a minimum of ninety three and

750
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: every single guy leaves the box like.

751
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: Damn, that was tough. Yeah, but yeah he was. He

752
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: was zipping them in.

753
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: They looked like they had a little extra life than normal.

754
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: Like maybe it's just also I haven't seen Jacob grim

755
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: pitch in person and a half.

756
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: The one other like half rally that seemed like could

757
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: have been a rally was when Chad Wallack led off

758
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: an inning with a double yes, and then Rogers was

759
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: up there the bunt and Wallack was dancing off second

760
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: base a little bit and James McCann mccannon him right

761
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: down second base and tabbed him out. That was sick.

762
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's something we have not seen a Mets catcher

763
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: doing a really really long time.

764
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: I tried to look it up on Savan. I couldn't

765
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: find another instance of a mess catcher picking a guy

766
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: off just ever five years. Yeah, you had a great

767
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 2: saying about Ramos yesterday Romost caught. Yes the Mcanza catcher. Yes,

768
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, he is a catcher and he's not

769
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: a nice little thing.

770
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: Right afterwards too, Yeah, he's just such a huge improvement defensively.

771
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: People like to dog him a little bit for his

772
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: defensive metro, but you can clearly tell that like he

773
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: is getting better defensively. This is not the negative ten

774
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: outs above average catcher that we saw a couple of

775
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: years ago.

776
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: In command of the game, which you like to see

777
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: that from your catcher. Almost act like a quasi quarter

778
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 2: back in a way where I'm I'm running the show here,

779
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 2: like I'm confident everything I can do on this field.

780
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: He is the quarterback of the defense. Yeah, as that's

781
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: as a catcher, that is what you have to do.

782
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: You have to take him into the field. You have

783
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: to be you have to know everything, you have to

784
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: be on top of your game. That's why I love

785
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: the position so much, was that you're involved in every

786
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: single pitch while you're out there on the field, and

787
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: he seems to have a really good grasp with that.

788
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: He seems to be working. Really he busts his ass

789
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: back there. The dude's blocking, jumping all over the place.

790
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: He's missed a few balls, but the ones that he's

791
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: missed have been almost impossible to catch or miss.

792
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: Great energy too, and that's the number one thing I

793
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: like seeing from catchers. Ramos is like a dead fish

794
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: back there.

795
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's nothing against Ramos, that's not his personality.

796
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: Hit his fourth or run the season today. He's gonna

797
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: have a great season day, and I hope the best

798
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: for him.

799
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep hitting him, hit forty out there, go ahead.

800
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: Get trade to a contender, have some fun late late summer.

801
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: But you wish that more people would have stepped up

802
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: for Jacob to grit master. They besides James McCann.

803
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, if he's what's nice about him is if

804
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: he's not gonna do it offensively, he's going to bring

805
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: something to you on the defensive side.

806
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: And we saw that he's been hitting a little bit. Yeah,

807
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: he's a couple of knocks.

808
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a couple knocks we haven't seen the

809
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: power yet, but I think that's just the thing of

810
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: like still early in the season getting into the groove

811
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: of things. He's a guy who also gets like really

812
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: really hot at points, and he'll just put up like

813
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: five homers in a week.

814
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 2: And now to transition to today, this awkward right now,

815
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: the Mets have now played five games in the first

816
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: eleven days of the season. Yeah, which which is weird.

817
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 1: It's hard to get hot like that, hard to get

818
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: in a rhythm timing, and maybe that's good. Maybe it's

819
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: a good thing too, because our rhythm right now is

820
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: playing ship baseball, so maybe it's good to break up

821
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: the rhythm a little bit.

822
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: You're actually lamenting yesterday, like, oh the Mets don't have

823
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: an off day this week, got crab. Well, now we

824
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: got one.

825
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: We got one. We got one in like again, we

826
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: brought up the excuse of the Nationals things. It's it's over,

827
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: that's done now, it's no longer an excuse.

828
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: Same thing.

829
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: You've got your off day today. Even though you showed

830
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: up to the field and you're able to you're trying

831
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: to play. You got all geared up. I think most

832
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: of these guys also knew they weren't playing anyway, but

833
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: that sucked.

834
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: The way they handled that unbelievably mismanaged by whoever put

835
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: these baseball players on the field today.

836
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, put them on was bad. I know you talked

837
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: about it to me earlier, about what Rojas said during

838
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: his conference.

839
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a specified forecast expert. Yeah, well does

840
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 2: that even mean? Who is that? And what of your

841
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: own weathermen? And how is he so not right?

842
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Like we we're in Queens right now, We're a few

843
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: miles away from the stadium.

844
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: We're sitting here looking out the window in a story

845
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 2: of being like, oh, it's raining really hard. How are

846
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: they gonna play this baseball again?

847
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: Then two minutes later, that's when it really started to

848
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: come down, and you see Stroman stroms like, I'm not

849
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: throwing a pitch, and I don't blame him.

850
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: I would not even holding his hands out. He's wiping

851
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: his hand trying to get a grip. The umpire sent

852
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: the ball boy to get more balls, and the ball

853
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: boy dropped them dropped, and.

854
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: Like even Lindora was complaining. Like you could see when

855
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: they zoomed away from the field, you could see there

856
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: was literal puddles on the field.

857
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: You can't play baseball. I can't play baseball like.

858
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: That now when we have these guys that need to

859
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: be healthy and no one should be getting hurt because

860
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: of rain delay.

861
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: Like, who's the was it ron Kolpa was? Was he

862
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: the maya? Was he the crew chief?

863
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe if it's an umpire's thing, or

864
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: if it's something that Major League Baseball across the league

865
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: is trying to do limiting these kind of games, because

866
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was doing everything in his possible

867
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: power to keep that game going for as long as

868
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: physically possible. And maybe it's because COVID is still looming

869
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: and they don't want to have to do more makeups

870
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: games than they already have through this year. But it

871
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: was that's not baseball. You can't play baseball like that.

872
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: Playing baseball in the rain is miserable, it's dangerous, it's

873
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: not it's not funny. You want to talk about the

874
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: worst product.

875
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: Yes, baseball, the game in a way that shouldn't be affected.

876
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: No, it's just it shouldn't be something you have to

877
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: worry about when you're out on the field. If it's cold,

878
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: that's different. Rain wet, slippery, dangerous.

879
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 2: I also wonder how we're gonna use Stroman now following

880
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: up on this, because with I think the Mets have

881
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: seven games in seven days coming up. Yeah, so we're

882
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: gonna need pitchers, and I would love that I throwing

883
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 2: throwing nine pitches. They went through an entire pregame routine

884
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 2: which is probably taxing, and he probably has a very

885
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: specified workout regiment that goes based on the daisy's schedule

886
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: to pitch. But I would love if we can get

887
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: some innings out of Marcus Stroman before Friday. He's tweeted out,

888
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 2: what see you in five days? Yeah, the fact he

889
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: said that means probably not. I means he probably doesn't

890
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: want to pitch in the next five days, which I understand.

891
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: He was also being vilified today for no reason.

892
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: I didn't like that people were vilifying him, Yeah, a

893
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: lot over not wanting to pitch in the rain for.

894
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: Like like like kind of show boy and walking around

895
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: that could that could be our bad take of the day.

896
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: Are these people? I remember the tweets I saw, I'm

897
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put it.

898
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: It'll be down here, you guys know where we put

899
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: it. It will be down there somewhere. We'll just highlight all

900
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: the idiots that because I'm happy to call you an idiot.

901
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: By the way, if you have to stake, you're a moron.

902
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: It's raining. The guy just want to get hurt. Why

903
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: would you if you're a Mets fin, why would you

904
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: want him pitching in this way?

905
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: He also doesn't want to pitch. Who pitching in the

906
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: rain stinks? You can't grip anything.

907
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw I saw during the game,

908
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: if you were watching, but they showed like a zoom

909
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: in of the mound where he was, like, you know,

910
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: pushing off, and it was it was mush, it was

911
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: it was wet, it was goofy. It was nothing that

912
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: you should ever be pitching in.

913
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: Foul foul.

914
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: Yes, the the field conditions were poor. And then once

915
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: they put the tarp on over the wet grass and

916
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: dirt games over which right now, yeah, it's pooring. It's

917
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: been pouring all day. Like you said, the fact that

918
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: they even stepped out on the field knowing that there

919
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: was no chance we were playing today, There was no

920
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: way you were getting this game in the mark.

921
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: We have the specific weather forecast expert.

922
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: Whoever that guy is he should change his job title because.

923
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: I'd like that job. I had weather dot Com. I

924
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: saw the radar early.

925
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like whatever he's doing clearly is wrong.

926
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he was watching the past instead of hitting the

927
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: future on the radar.

928
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: I mean, who hasn't done that the past? Yeah.

929
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: What's funny is like they actually do use the past,

930
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: I think more often than the future, because the future

931
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: is a predictive thing, where the past is like you

932
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: can follow the path or whatever it is, but if

933
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: you follow the past, you'd be like, oh, it's going

934
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: to clear up in like twenty minutes, which it seems

935
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: like it's like what he thought it was gonna happen. Instead,

936
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: it was like, no, it's the worst is yet to come.

937
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Four hours, five hours later and it is still pouring.

938
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: It was a I don't want to say perfect way,

939
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: but it was like such a just way to end

940
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: this series within the rain. Now it's been so depressing.

941
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: I didn't really want to play today.

942
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to only because I need to get that

943
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: horrible taste out of my mouth from yesterday, especially being

944
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: at the stadium and watching like the Booze.

945
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: I hated the Booze.

946
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: I hate the boost so much.

947
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: We talked about it.

948
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: When we were there, like this is just especially because

949
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: we're like we're kind of in the family section a

950
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: little bit for the Mets, and like the worst thing

951
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: I could imagine is like a little kid being there

952
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: watching his like dad or something like that, and he

953
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: just gets booed for like really not doing anything wrong,

954
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: like just having a bad day.

955
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 2: So I hated that so much.

956
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm all for booming if you stink for years, for

957
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: for five games, We're getting ridiculous now, like we're sounding

958
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: like Yankee fans, and I hate that.

959
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: You also fear that this contract situation is seeped into

960
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: confort those minds.

961
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about a little bit last episode.

962
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: I brought it up.

963
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: I think about do you think he's consciously trying to

964
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: hit more home runs?

965
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: An now we've seen more of it where people have

966
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: been calling him a two hundred million dollar player. I'm

967
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: sure he knows who else in the free agents next year,

968
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: he knows how COVID he will be with another good season.

969
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: He's a Boris' client. They're going to tell him how

970
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: much money he could possibly get.

971
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: Just you just fear he's squeezing the bat too tight.

972
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: If he plays Michael confordo baseball, like you said, especially

973
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: in that free agent market, he is going to get paid.

974
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: And he's also taking the heat for a lot of

975
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: other guys in the other who have not been hitting. No.

976
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Pete's got ice cold, Alonzo had.

977
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: The two good games he got went cold. Dom hit

978
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: the home run. He's putting the ball in play, but

979
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: he hasn't found a lot of holes. That must been

980
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 2: ripping the cover off the ball.

981
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: Our boy McNeil only has one hit into the home run.

982
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's also been hitting the ball a little bit.

983
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, McCann hit a little bit, not really.

984
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: I think we also forget that we are like missing JD.

985
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: Davis and JD. Davis is going to be a big

986
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: part of our offense because it's turning out to be

987
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: a bigger, a bigger deal than we've realized because he

988
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 2: gets on base.

989
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: He has the power bat, especially against left handed pitching

990
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: like yesterday. I would have loved to see him face Trevor

991
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: Rodgers yesterday.

992
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: That would be such a good match.

993
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: Because I'm no offense to Jonathan VR. I'm done watching

994
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: Jonathan VR play Mets baseball, right, and he takes some

995
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: He is great off the bench. I want him to

996
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: be a pinch hitter. That's fine, because the pinch hitter

997
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: comes up there, try to put the ball in play.

998
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 2: Kind of thing. And he wasn't the lineup today.

999
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: No, But watching him start the last few games is

1000
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: just he takes horrendous at bats. There's no there's no

1001
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: real plan of attack.

1002
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: It seems like it almost looks like he starts every

1003
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: single at bat. Oh two, Yes, and you did.

1004
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: I think that might have been the thing I wanted

1005
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: you to say, is Jonathan v R starts every single bat?

1006
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: Oh too?

1007
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: And that's what it feels like. He just gets in

1008
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: a hole every time. And then actually, I just also

1009
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: hate how much he tries to bunch, like he doesn't

1010
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: have the speed that he used to either anymore. But

1011
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean, takeaways from this series bad baseball.

1012
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not worried. I think it's still crazy

1013
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: to be aways from this series castro look good, may

1014
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: look good. Guys had one good outing, one bad outing.

1015
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: I don't eve want to talk about this outing. Actually

1016
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: it just wasn't good. It's just like it was hitting

1017
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 2: the ball just hit him. That got hit, got hit.

1018
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: Sometimes baseball, it's gonna happen, and at least good amazing.

1019
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: Best picture in the world bar none, not even close.

1020
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 2: I love him to death. I wish the best for him.

1021
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 2: He's so good. It meant to do so little for

1022
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 2: him on such a regular basis that we don't deserve him. No,

1023
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: we do not deserve to Dracob to Gram.

1024
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: He is the mic trout of pictures of just like man,

1025
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: we got this like possibly one of the best of

1026
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: all times.

1027
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: He's won a playoff series.

1028
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: But I've been to the World Series. Hey now, but

1029
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: we're just like, we're wasting it. The fact that it

1030
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: starts that he makes we have a losing record for what.

1031
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: Is I've become so tired of these things. I'm tired

1032
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 2: of it too. I know every single time the Grom

1033
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 2: takes the mount as Era over the last fourty, whatever

1034
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 2: starts is two point oh whatever. And I know we

1035
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: lose all the games. I know, I'm super aware of it.

1036
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: It's the worst. I can't see this anymore. We're just

1037
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 2: not hitting.

1038
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: Baseball is like an individual team game, right, It's such

1039
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: a weird thing. But we're just like not playing good

1040
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: team baseball, Like guys are getting on, nobody's hitting them in.

1041
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: People doing the little things, guys stepping up to the

1042
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: plate and doing something that's going to help us, but

1043
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: then the next guy up kind of lets us down.

1044
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: There's just not a lot of like synergy. I don't

1045
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: know if that's startup ward of the day, startup ward

1046
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: of the day. Yeah, gotta be using synergy. But it's

1047
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: just like when someone's doing something right, the next guy

1048
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: seems to come up and just kind of throw it

1049
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: all away, like it's just not going right. Five games,

1050
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: It's just five games.

1051
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: If these five games happened in June, woudn't even know this.

1052
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: We didn't even notice. Well, yeah, we're insane. Other people

1053
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't know this.

1054
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: Who do We got tomorrow going on the mound against

1055
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: Chase Anderson, our boy Chase Anderson, who thank god we

1056
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: beat one day pitched against them. We really look like

1057
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: I'll laugh in his face again today, Chase.

1058
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: We even forgot to mention we were absolutely killing him.

1059
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: The last time we spoke about Chase Anderson was he

1060
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 2: started the game for the Blue Jays last year and

1061
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: we scored eighteen runs. Let's say, Chase Anderson. That's you know,

1062
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 2: how you get hot, You face Chase Anderson. He's he

1063
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: is going doubling.

1064
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: That's how you start a hot streak, is you get

1065
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,959
Speaker 1: to face Chase Anderson, who's just well, as we said

1066
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: in one of our previous episodes, a guy that we

1067
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: put on a list of people that we'd love to

1068
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: have an at bad against.

1069
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's Chase Anderson. The only thing more boring than

1070
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 2: his name is his repertoire.

1071
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you did have that weird stat though about him,

1072
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: which is so funny about how different baseball.

1073
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: Pretty funny stats to talk about the growth of baseball.

1074
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: Chase Anderson's career k rate is twenty point four, about

1075
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: a full tick higher than Bob Gibson's career strikeout rate

1076
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: of nineteen point three. And you're talking about one of

1077
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: the best pitchers of all time, one of the most

1078
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 2: feared human beings to ever walk on a baseball field.

1079
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: So I think it should line up to be Peterson, Walker,

1080
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: Luke Hazy. I think based on our next three and

1081
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: it should be Anderson, Nola Wheeler, because Wheeler pitched I

1082
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: think Thursday night. So we got a little bit of

1083
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: a tough, tough bit here. That's why we have to

1084
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: come out swinging against Anderson. We've got to figure something

1085
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: out out the plate because we're coming up against two

1086
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: really really strong pitchers in the next few games with

1087
