17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: had no rate talking about the New York METSU. There's

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: not a whole lot in actual news to talk about here.

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: This is more of a content episode. We're gonna have

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: a little fun today. We're gonna go over some quick

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: manager stuff, Little Buck Show Walter Espada, what's his name,

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: Quatrro out of Quadra Quatrouro. We're gonna talk about him

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of nice Italian name and nice pison,

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the Rule five Minor League

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: draft that happened, because that was the thing, and we

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: are again really trying to get some content out there.

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna end it with a really fun

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: little segment that we're gonna do. You've seen people do

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: all time, you know, team drafts, and maybe we'll do

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: that later, but right now we're gonna do the most

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Mets Draft. We're drafting guys that are gonna be the

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: most Mets players of all time. Doesn't mean good, just

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: the most Mets. You could take it for what it means.

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: That's what we're doing on today's episode here on Messed

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: That's pretty much it for the intro. There, James, what's up?

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: How you doing?

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm good man, you know, Sam all just waiting for

44
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: this baseball content machine to turn a little bit because

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: we've got nothing.

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, the lockout sucks. And I did see a

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: lot of people were happy that we explained, you know,

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: what was going on with the lockout in the last episode,

49
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: that we gave them some knowledge, So it's happy we

50
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: could drop that on you guys. But unfortunately, there's really

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: nothing that has happened in terms of the lockout negotiations whatsoever.

52
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: The only thing that happens that the owners are working

53
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 2: on freezing out the players right now. After that last

54
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: deal that they didn't even at, the fake deal they

55
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: offered last week that we broke down a little bit.

56
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: They basically made it clear they were going to take

57
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: a week or two off and now we're at the

58
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: far end of those two weeks, so they're just kind

59
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: of playing hard to get right now. That's literally the

60
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: only lockout update that anybody has.

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Nope, And in terms of Mets Baseball, we have an update.

62
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: We have finalists for the manager because of course we

63
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: still don't have one and there is no rush, but

64
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: we have our three finalists. Is there a fourth guy?

65
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: They mentioned a mystery fourth guy or something.

66
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: I thought the mystery guy was someone in the first round,

67
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: but pretty positive that the final three are Buck show Walter.

68
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: Sada, and Matt Quatraro. Yeah, and we talked extensively about

69
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Buck Showalter and Joe Spotta in the last episode. Not

70
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna go over it too much again, you guys probably

71
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: know what our stance on it is as of now.

72
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: On the mets of the podcast where Joe Espada or

73
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: at least Anti Buck, we're gonna talk a little bit

74
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: about Matt Quarktraro. I still don't know how to say

75
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: his name. That's gonna be. I think it's Quatrro. That

76
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: feels right, Quatraro. Yeah, it's gonna be. That's gonna be

77
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: the hardest thing if he becomes the managers trying to

78
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: figure out how to say this guy's name. But uh,

79
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna give us some info on him, as you

80
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: always do. Of course. Yeah.

81
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: We did, like Mark said, talk extensively about Buck and

82
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: Espada last week. And I feel like we should give

83
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: Quachruro his due because he's a baseball lifer and he's

84
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: very well respected in the game. And he's again one

85
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: of these three finalists. So he is a New Yorker

86
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: born upstate and he grew up Battalion. So those are

87
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: two big check marks for at least Mark and I

88
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: and the Mets in general. Also a history major in college,

89
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: which is a big check mark for me, so a

90
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: brother in arms there. And he plays college ball with

91
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: It's caoled old dominion down in Virginia, and he was

92
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: a hell of a player down there. First basement Catcher

93
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: hit four hundred over the course of his collegiate career

94
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: and a All American and an overall second team All

95
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: American as a senior, which out of whole dominion is

96
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: kind of insane.

97
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it seemed like he could play ball a

98
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: little bit for sure, and that ended up getting him

99
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: drafted by the team that's currently with tam Bay Race.

100
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and ironically he was taken in the nineteen ninety

101
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: six draft, the exact same draft that Joe Spota was

102
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: taken by Sandy Algerson in the Oaklan eight. So these

103
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: guys are kind of on super congruent paths. And that

104
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: night ninety six draft coincidentally was just one year after

105
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: Buck Showalter was fired from his first job, his first

106
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: manager job. So these two guys were greenhorns in the

107
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: minor leagues, and Buck Showalter had already been fired by

108
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: the Yankees. And I actually found out this tidbit last week.

109
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: I was deep in the weeds doing some Bucks show

110
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Walter research because I was just like, I really don't

111
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: want this guy to be manager. I found something crazy

112
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: that he said in nineteen ninety four, and maybe I'll

113
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: say for earlier that episode, I'll tease that, maybe for

114
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: my own tweet of mine. But Buck Showalter, after he

115
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: performed pretty well over the nineteen ninety four and nineteen

116
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: ninety five seasons with the Yankees, thought he was negotiating

117
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: with George Steinbrunner. But most people would know, especially by

118
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: this time, you don't really negotiate with George Steinbruner. I'm

119
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: pretty sure four years consecutively as a man, as Buckshalter was,

120
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: was one of the longest tenured manager Steinbrunner had ever overseen,

121
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: which in himself was pretty hilarious but successful. Ninety four

122
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: ninety five Yankees were winning a lot of games. It

123
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: looked like they were gonna make a run to a

124
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: World Series soon as we know in hindsight, they did.

125
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: Buck Showalter declined.

126
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: George Steinbruner's first offer because he wanted more years in

127
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: his contract, and George Steinbrunners said fuck him, see you

128
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: later Buck during the World Series.

129
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: As a ballsy move right there as some George that's

130
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: classic George Steinbroner.

131
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: Classic George Tigner. But again back to Macutuarro. He hung

132
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: around the Ray system until two thousand and three, got

133
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: picked up by the Yankees for a quick spring training stint,

134
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: but then he wound up retiring after that season. Immediately

135
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: went back as a head coach, and the Rays reached

136
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: back out to him brought him back into their organization

137
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: as originally a catching instructor and then a minor league

138
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: hitting coach, and then after a couple of years, he

139
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: was the head coach of the New York Penn League

140
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: Hudson Valley Renegades from two thousand and six two thousand

141
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: and seven that as a short a team at the

142
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: time that league no longer exists. That's where the Brooklyn

143
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Cyclones used to play, a team that we know and love,

144
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: and in those two years of the Renegades, he actually

145
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: managed Evan Longoria, Jeremy Hellixton, Stephen Vote, Alex Cobb, my Guy,

146
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: and Josh Hamilton, which is a pretty funny, pretty funny

147
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: tidbit right there. And then after a few seasons with

148
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: the Renegades, he was bumped up to a full season

149
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: manager in the Sally League from two thousand and eight

150
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: to two thousand and nine, and after two successful seasons

151
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: down there, he was promoted to the Ray's minor league

152
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: hitting coordinator in twenty ten and held that job to

153
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen. And that's kind of meaningful because that is

154
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: when the Ray started to modernize the minor league system

155
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: and the way they were developing players, so he was

156
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: probably at the forefront of a lot of those actions,

157
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: decisions things like that. Eventually, he was highed the way

158
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: by Cleveland twenty fourteen to be their assistant hitting coach,

159
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: held that job for three years the Rays. He yanked

160
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: him back in twenty seventeen when they had some more

161
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: openings on their staff, and then he was third base

162
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: coach for a year and then promoted to bench coach

163
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: after twenty eighteen when the Blue Jays hired Charlie Montoyo,

164
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: who was then the Rays bench coach, and Katuro's had

165
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: that job ever since.

166
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: So this guy is a grinder.

167
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: The Rays absolutely love him, and he's just a baseball lifer.

168
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: Seems a very good pick for this job. I think

169
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: it's an interesting little callback too. He was with Cleveland

170
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. Lindor was also in Cleveland

171
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: during that time too, so there's a little, you know,

172
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: a little link between the two as well.

173
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: I think that's the year Lindor came up twenty fourteen, or.

174
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: I believe so. Yeah, I believe so. But really, I

175
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: don't want to say unfortunately, but kind of unfortunately doesn't

176
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: really matter because it seems like Buck Showalter is just

177
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: the odds on favorite buying large pretty obvious that he

178
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: is the guy right now.

179
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: He'd probably have to screw something up massively in the

180
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: interview or just ask for too much money, which I

181
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: think is definitely a possibility. Buck Showalter walk in wagging

182
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: his finger about experience, and Steve Cohen's like, you you

183
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: need me way more than I need you right now

184
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: because I'm your I'm your only savior. But I am

185
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: like a little bit softening on Buck from last week

186
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: to this one, just because he got through an alleged

187
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: five hour interview. So one that shows last damna for

188
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: the old man. I like that, and he can imagine

189
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: modern baseball because no games go that long anymore. And

190
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: two like, he can't be that anti analytics if he

191
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: got to the next round of this interview, you know. Yeah,

192
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: like with the Mets are pouring so much into this

193
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: research and developed mint apartment, a lot of other small

194
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: stories have been tinkering out over the last week about

195
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: Buck loving numbers and stats through the old timey days.

196
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: So I guess that's like a little bit better. But again, like,

197
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: I think it's meaningful that Buck made it through this

198
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: interview that was I'm sure very analytics Layton.

199
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: I've just gotten like to the point where I'm tired

200
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: of even arguing against it because it really doesn't matter.

201
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: No one's gonna hear us, and it's not gonna make

202
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: any sort of difference whatsoever. So as long as he

203
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: comes in and he does everything that he's supposed to

204
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: in the Mets win, I'll be happy. But it's just

205
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I do get so concerned because he is such an

206
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: old man. He's just so old school that it might

207
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, might not clash well with you know,

208
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: some of the guys that the Mets have, who knows.

209
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it would go well at all.

210
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: That's why I think that, like everybody should be in

211
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: the room when they talk to Buck Showalter, even now,

212
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: like Ben z Asmer, the Mets head of research and development,

213
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: all the new Mets anlexs people they just signed. I

214
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: want to go on a little analytics tangent because I

215
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: think it's meaningful. Also, last week while this was going on,

216
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: the Mets hired someone named Dan Schoenfeld to be their

217
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: minor league analytics coordinator.

218
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: That guy is literally our age.

219
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: He graduated high school in college the same year as us,

220
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: and he's now the Mets minor league's analytics coordinator.

221
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: He is.

222
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like the soft, like thirtieth employee that the

223
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: Mets have put there, and that's up from six in

224
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, somewhere between six and three. So the Mets

225
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: in just three short years have gone from literally one

226
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: of the smallest analytics department in baseball to looking like

227
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna be one of the biggest. And this guy

228
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: showing felt kind of funny because again, he's our age

229
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: he's been the Royals lead prospect research and development guy

230
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: for the last few years and like one of the

231
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: generally smaller R and D departments in all baseball because

232
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: the worlds are cheap. But they have developed a lot

233
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: of pretty good hitters in the last few years, a

234
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: couple of pitchers as well, so I think that's meaningful.

235
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: And he was promoted to be their lead research and

236
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: development analysts and oversee their player development just in October,

237
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: and Steve hired them for this job one month later,

238
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: which is that's so electric. I love that so much.

239
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: Big Wall Street vibes right there, Big Wall Street vibes.

240
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: And now this has officially made the Mets one of

241
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 2: the few teams in baseball who's gonna have a full

242
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: time analyst with every single minor league team full.

243
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: Time, and that feels important. I mean, we know how

244
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: important the minor leagues are. We've seen it with a

245
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of the teams that are successful. You build those up,

246
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: you get so much more depth, you get so much

247
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: more value from your team. You can go make those trades,

248
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: get those big players, and it's not like you're losing

249
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: out on that depth that you still have. Mets minor

250
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: league and overhaul is going to be a nice, you know,

251
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: new thing coming to them.

252
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: This is also a way that Steve Cohen can exert

253
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: his will on the rest of Major League Baseball and

254
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: sort of an out of box, out of the box

255
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: way that no one has really discussed because there's no

256
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: cap on what you could pour into your analytics department,

257
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: Like you can literally hire as many people as you want,

258
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: spend as much money these guys' roles you want on

259
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: these guys' roles as you want. Because most of these teams,

260
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Mets rolls like this to the ground floor.

261
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: These guys make dirt. You're making like probably like minimum

262
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: wags generally at these jobs, and you're working one hundred

263
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: hour weeks, and there's been painstaking mass of education skill

264
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: that goes into these jobs. So if he like pays

265
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: these guys like a little bit more than the rest

266
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: of the league, like, he will be able to acquire

267
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: talent very easily. Like I think about I said before

268
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: ben Zausmer that who was hired last year, like during

269
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: all the endoored negotiation and chaos kind of got swept

270
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: under the rug. But Steve Cohen basically told this guy

271
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: who came as an analyst from the Dodgers, I want

272
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: this to be Dodgers East. It seems like he's gotten

273
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: now like full autonomy to make this team Dodgers East

274
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: and the way they're gonna build up the system. And

275
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: there's also just there's such a clear correlation with how

276
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: many people you have working in your analytics departments and

277
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: how successful you are, like as of last year, besides

278
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: the Mets, because they had a big department last year,

279
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: but it was the first year of everybody being involved.

280
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: The six teams with the highest number of analytics staffers

281
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 2: and this or their work Dodgers, Yankees, Astros, Rays, Brewers, Braves.

282
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: So you just named six playoff teams.

283
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, six of the best teams in baseball. The World

284
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: Series champion, the World Series favorite, the American League favorite,

285
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: the other American League favorite, the other American League favorite,

286
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: and the smartest team in baseball who develops pitchers like

287
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 2: nobody's business. And the Red Sox were seventh, and they

288
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: built up just last year like the Mets, So one

289
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: more year they're probably gonna be really hitting the ground running.

290
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, this shit really works. That's not a bad list. Like,

291
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: we gotta just be all into it. And if Buck

292
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: Show Walter's all in, then I'm all in on Buck.

293
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. If he's ready to actually listen and use the

294
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: numbers and play modern baseball, sure that's it. That's all

295
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: we want. We want modern baseball. We don't want to

296
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: go back in time. On the service level, it feels

297
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: like it is a back in time move. But prove

298
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: us wrong, Billy Eppler. Billyuppler proved us big time wrong

299
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: when Out made some moves. Buck Show Walter do the same. Definitely.

300
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: I think it's also meaningful that as these rumors about

301
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: manager a trickling out, Eppler seems to prefer Espada, even

302
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: though he was more linked to Buck at the beginning

303
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: because apparently he wanted him in Anaheim and it didn't

304
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: work out this and that yaha yadas. So there already

305
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: might be a little bit of power struggle here between

306
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: the new GM, who was like the eighteenth choice for

307
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 2: general manager and Steve Cohen, who is very smart and

308
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: knows how to hire people but does never hired the

309
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: baseball manager before.

310
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: So it's interesting.

311
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: And also Buck Show Walter he could just be lying

312
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: through his teeth he could. He could be saying anything

313
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: to get inside this door. Because the Mets are building something.

314
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: I know he wants to get it because he needs

315
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: that ring. Buck Shalter needs that ring.

316
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, for a legacy, for Buck Showalter to live on,

317
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, past his days. He needs a ring. Otherwise

318
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: he's just another manager in Major League Baseball. Unfortunately for him,

319
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: he wants to get on this bandwagon. He wants to

320
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: hop on as quickly as possible. We'll see, We'll see

321
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: what it goes. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be Buck,

322
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: though I would be more surprised than not if the

323
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: Mets don't hire Bucks show Walter. At this point, the.

324
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: Mets are kind of back into a corner if they

325
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: don't hire Buck because if Joe aspotted I think I

326
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 2: may have said this word for it, either on the

327
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: last podcast or to you just personally. If he's thirteen

328
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: and fourteen on May first, and the Mets with like

329
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: already four games behind the Braves, like the line to

330
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: get on Wfan the afternoon is gonna be twelve hours long.

331
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to call them at seven in the

332
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: morning and hopefully get out for the evening show. It'll

333
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: be literal chaos on the radio, Twitter, television, on the

334
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: streets with our families, like it will be unbearable if

335
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: they don't hire Buck Show, Walter and whoever it is

336
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: fails right away. Even though it won't be it fails.

337
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: I put that in air quotes for every wheels listening,

338
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: not watching it on YouTube. It still as a manager.

339
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be that person's fault, but you know

340
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: that's how it's going to be portrayed.

341
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: Yep.

342
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: And we saw the last few years, so manager's stuff.

343
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: A lot still to be heard, lot still to be said.

344
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: But it feels like maybe next week we might have

345
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: a little more clarity as to what's going on. December

346
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: twenty thirds my guess. Okay, right, but Christmas Eve, Festivus, Yeah, Festivus, yes,

347
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: which that feels like a very Buck Show Walter holiday.

348
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: If I had to say anything, I feel like he

349
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: loves Aaron Grievances Bucks Show. Walter is the only managerial

350
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: candidate who has appeared on an episode of Seinfeld. That's

351
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: that's that's big points right there. That's a little bit

352
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: meaningful right there. And I'm sure he does feats of

353
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: strength as well in the locker room if anyone tries

354
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: to step up to him.

355
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: So, but maybe how many how many push up you

356
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: think Buck Showalter could do right now? That should be

357
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: part of the interview.

358
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: I think more than we would expect for some reason.

359
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I could just see him.

360
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: Just pound out, like a minute, how many?

361
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Oh, in a minute? I don't even know how many

362
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: I can do in a minute. That's not really fair, well,

363
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: not that many. Probably. I don't even know how quick

364
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: it is to do a push up. That's like it,

365
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: I can't I can't do that. Math fifty Is that

366
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: too many?

367
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: That's way too many. That's like someone in shape could

368
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: do in a minute.

369
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: Okay, twenty five that's I like that one. Yeah, twenty

370
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: five for Buck. Yeah, I feel that Now can Buck

371
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: show Walter do more push ups than me in a minute?

372
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: That's the real question.

373
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: That that that has a lot of potential as a video.

374
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we might need to do that at function. Walter's manager.

375
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: First piece of business, You and Mark Luino push ups?

376
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: Who can do more in a minute?

377
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: Hey?

378
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: Buck, this young YouTuber has never played the game, never

379
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: managed in the big leagues. He was giving you a

380
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: shit for the last three months. I bet he thinks

381
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: he could do more push ups than you.

382
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: Let me have it.

383
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let me see enough buck show Walter. Let's

384
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: talk about the Rule five guys, not the major league

385
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: Rule five, but the minor league Rule five. And the

386
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: big difference here is that obviously you don't have to

387
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: keep these guys on the forty man. They don't have

388
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: to stay on the major league roster for the entire

389
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: season to give them back. I don't know what the

390
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: exact rule is, but it's basically a lower version of

391
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: the current Rule five draft that everyone's used to.

392
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: You basically have a max amount of rosterble players on

393
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: your minor league rosters, like in Triple A it's like

394
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: thirty seven and Double it's like thirty two or thirty four.

395
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: It's more than major league rosters because I want more

396
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: guys out there. They give more shots. But it's not

397
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: like a hard line like of forty men, we have

398
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: to keep a guy in the whole season. So it's

399
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: just any team who has extra roster spots because you

400
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: can cut minor league guys every single year. He doesn't

401
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: get guys for assignment Troit, but guys is using trades.

402
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: Most teams will have space for this, but not all

403
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: teams will use it because they kind of maybe want

404
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: to fill that minor league roster out with more major

405
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: league gys on minor league deals. But this was a

406
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: rare opportunity for some teams who kind of were going

407
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: to have more space to be able to get more

408
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: guys in because you just couldn't sign major league guys

409
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: right now. And this is like, you don't really hear

410
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: about this very often. You probably wouldn't have heard about

411
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: it even from us if the lockout wasn't going on.

412
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: But the Mets got Adam Aler last year in the

413
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: minor league Rule five drafts, so it is possible.

414
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: To get meaningful guys who contribute.

415
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: The Rays a few years ago got Ryan Thompson here,

416
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: someone who pitched in the World Series for them, So

417
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: again there is a path to serviceability through this draft.

418
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: And the Mets got two guys who might actually wind

419
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: up being serviceable. They also lost to who might wind

420
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: up being serviceable, but that's the way it goes. But

421
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: they got Alex Valverdi from the Rays and Carlos Ocampo

422
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: from the Cubs. Valverdi's twenty five year old in Double

423
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: A near the top of the Eastern League, a Southern League,

424
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: and strikeouts and whiffs.

425
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: He did walk a few too.

426
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: Many guys, especially for a twenty five year old in

427
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: double A nine percent, but they also got over forty

428
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: percent ground balls and his FIP was like one point

429
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: three lower than the ZRA. So it's gonna be bad

430
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: defense in the minor league. So that will probably affect

431
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: a guy. And something I think is interesting is that

432
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: he transitioned to the rotation of I think it's like

433
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 2: the Columbus Biscuits, which is a hilarious name for minor

434
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: league team, or Columbia Montgomery Biscuits.

435
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: Montgomery Biscuits.

436
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one transition to the rotation towards the end

437
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: of the year, made nine starts there after being relieved

438
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: of the whole year, and kept up all of his

439
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: stats and actually pitched to a better era. And I

440
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: know he has a live fastball and a very good

441
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 2: slide there.

442
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: So if this is.

443
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: Something that the Mets are gonna make this guy into

444
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: a star the next year, They've had a lot of

445
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: success with star there's these like weird mid level starters.

446
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: The last couple of years.

447
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: It's good and you always want to grab a guy

448
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: from the Rays because they always have a roster crunch.

449
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: They had unprecedented winning across their minor league's best twenty

450
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: percentage ever through an entire minor league season organizational wide,

451
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: so any guy we can take.

452
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: From them is cool.

453
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: That Will Campo from the Cubs throws really hard, gets

454
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: a shit ton of whiffs, sixty seven strikeouts versus I

455
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: think it was eleven walks this year in a low

456
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: a as a twenty three year old, so a little older,

457
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: but still throws like ninety six miles an hour. Gave

458
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: up tons of hart contact though his fastball kind of runs,

459
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't ride, so that's not great.

460
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: But throws nineties, so worth the shot. Yeah. And I

461
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: saw Jacob Resnik was tweeting out videos of these guys.

462
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: They all look like they have pretty electric stuff. So yeah,

463
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: Jeremy Sliders, the Mets pitching magic that we've been sprinkling

464
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: on all over these guys. I love to see that

465
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: these guys have stuff and they're not throwing eighty eight

466
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: like one of the guys who saw the Arizona Fall League,

467
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: Garrison Bryant.

468
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: Garrison Brian Yeah, sorry man, no, yeah, no, I mean,

469
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: we're working out there, but it's just it's eighty eight. Yeah,

470
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: I'd rather get this guy through a ninety seven with

471
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: a wipeout.

472
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: Slyder. Yes, Cad doesn't have that good command.

473
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 2: And we lost two guys too. Alan went into the Braves.

474
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: Baseball America actually listed him as one of their top

475
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: prospects available in this draft, so it's a shame he

476
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: was unprotected.

477
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: But see that whatever.

478
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: The one point seven to two ERA and eight to

479
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: one whip as a reliever for Brooklyn and Binghamton, which

480
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: are pretty astounding numbers. And he has a very good

481
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: slider and he throws it more than fifty percent of

482
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: the time, which having that command of an offspeed pitch

483
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: at that level is very impressive, and I think we'll

484
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 2: we breed breed success in the future, especially for a reliever.

485
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 2: And we lost Tommy Wilson to the Mariners because the

486
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: Mariners love x Mets, but they immediately traded him to

487
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: the Oriols. So this guy's apparently a hot commodity. And

488
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: this guy has a good slider. He seems like he's

489
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: he's a fun guy. He's a big boy six four

490
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: to twenty and his dad was in Back to the Future.

491
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: Fun fact about Tommy Wilson that I never thought I

492
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: would hear.

493
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tommy Wilson shout shut you out man, and Alan

494
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 2: Allen went in too.

495
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: Hope you guys have great careers. Yeah, good luck, just

496
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: don't do it against the Mets. And that's our Minor

497
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: League Baseball Rule five Draft coverage, because that's all we

498
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: got for you there. There's not much players moving guys

499
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: players move in the Mess Up podcast will cool you

500
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: into the player movement happening. I'll lock out whether you

501
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: know of these guys or not. We will tell you

502
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: something something about them, even just their name maybe sometimes,

503
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: but we will give you something. And that now leads

504
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: us to the fun part where we are going to

505
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: be doing the most Mets team ever. Now, James, you

506
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: came up with this idea, so I'm gonna kind of

507
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: let you run with it a little bit here and

508
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: kind of explain what the idea and what the criteria is.

509
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: Per Se absolutely well.

510
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: Mark and I were talking about content yesterday, and I

511
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: mean we're talking about the Minor League Baseball Rule five

512
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: draft and the Rays longtime bench coach. Here from the

513
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: first twenty minutes, this episode, so we need some content.

514
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: And we send out a tweet yesterday from the Mets

515
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: Up podcast like what should we do? Do you guys

516
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 2: want to hear us talk about tomorrow? And a lot

517
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: of people said, I want to hear you guys draft

518
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: an all time Mets team best twenty six roster. Mark

519
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: and James each make a lineup, we can vote who's better.

520
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: And I was thinking to myself, like that is a

521
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: good idea, but that's a little bit boring, and I,

522
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: as a as an amateur content creator, like to set

523
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: the bar a little bit higher. I've seen a lot

524
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: of people do these all time drafts the last few days,

525
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 2: and when you really think about the Mets history, it's

526
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: not filled with these incredible players, Hall of famers, MVPs

527
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: League winners. That's not really what the Mets are about.

528
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: Ed Cranepool is their franchise star Ed Cranepool pool, Ed

529
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: crane Pool. That's what we have to work with here.

530
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: So I thought it would be way more fun and

531
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: way more funny. I know that you guys like to

532
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: hear Mark. I just get a little bit wild here

533
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: to have a draft of guys who are as Mets

534
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: as it gets and the only criteria is you had

535
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: to play one game as a New York Met. So,

536
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: guys from all the history, the chaos at the Mets

537
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: front office ownership has been for sixty years, all the

538
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 2: ridiculous old guys they got, all the insane minor leaguers

539
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: they tried to make work, the crazy names, utility men,

540
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: the backup catchers, the converted infielders, the converted the pitchers, outfielders,

541
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: the chaos, the failed prospects, everything at all. Mark and

542
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: I are going to draft a team eight position players,

543
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: utility men, five starting pitchers, through relievers, and one closer

544
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: right now for you guys. And it's gonna get a

545
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: little bit wild.

546
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: Yes. So for the first pick, we went to Twitter

547
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: and we TWEETU on the Mess Up podcast who gets

548
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: to pick first? Mer James? And right now, I believe

549
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm winning with ninety two votes here, so I think

550
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: I have fifty two point two percent. James got forty

551
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: seven point eight. I will happily take the first pick here.

552
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: And this guy, I mean, he needs no introduction. I

553
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: think when you think of the New York Mets, there's,

554
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, a short list of guys that always come

555
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: to your mind. You're thinking David Wright, you're thinking Doc Goodin,

556
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: Mike Piazza, and you're forgetting one guy. And that guy,

557
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: of course, is the legendary none other than Ed Cranepool.

558
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: We'd have to take Ed Cranepool number one. I have

559
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: to do Don Lagreca proud Ed Craypoole. That's your guy,

560
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: he screams into the mic as he says, that's our

561
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: franchise guy. I mean some just fun facts about Ed Cranepoole.

562
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: He played three games at the year at the age

563
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: of seventeen years old with the Mets. Three games, had

564
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: six at bats at seventeen. He played with the Mets

565
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: until he was thirty four, eighteen years with the Mets.

566
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Of just pure mediocrity. To be fair, I mean no

567
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: disrespect to Ed Cramble. He's a legend. We love him.

568
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Over here.

569
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: Be Craplew has his allograph, met him as a kid.

570
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice guy. He deserves way more respect than the

571
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: Mets world because he is the original New York Mets.

572
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: Seventeen years old, he was playing three games at a

573
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: major league level, finished with a career OPS at seven

574
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: hundred OPS plus ninety eight. He's basically just the most

575
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: average player for one of the most average franchises of

576
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: all time. Ed Cranepoole Number one slot him in.

577
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: All Right, See, I didn't know what direction we were

578
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 2: going to go start this draft, and now I'm happy

579
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: I know that because I'm going to take it wildly

580
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: different direction for my second overall pick, and I'm gonna

581
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: take a guy who, for Mets fans who are at least

582
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: our age, perhaps gets smidge younger, definitely a little bit older.

583
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: This guy is someone you will never forget for your

584
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 2: entire life. You'll hear this name when you're fifty years old,

585
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: sixty years old, seventy years old, and a shiver will

586
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: go straight.

587
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: Down your spine.

588
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: You will think about what an absolute catastrophe that this

589
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: player was at the time they got him, and what happened.

590
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: And this player, my starting shortstop for the New York Mets,

591
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: is none other than kazu Ya Matsui.

592
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: Damn it, damn it. That's why I thought you were

593
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: going on, because you talked about in thenfield that was

594
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: That was one of my two shortstops I have written

595
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: down was kas Matsui because when you think of the

596
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: like you said catastrophe. Yes, they moved Jose rey Is

597
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: away from shortstop to play this guy there. I wanted

598
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: to bring it up for a second because two thousand

599
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: and three, Jose Rays came up as a top prospect

600
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: in baseball as a twenty year old, and in seventy

601
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: games he hit three oh seven with a three thirty

602
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: on base four p thirty four slug at one O

603
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: two ops plus and thirteen ste sixteen attempts with twenty

604
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: one extra base hits. Again, seventy games as a as

605
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: a twenty year old, and the Mets are like, wait

606
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: a second, you see this guy in Japan, We're gonna

607
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: sign him to play your.

608
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: Position, have fun with second base. And they did that

609
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 2: for almost entire season two thousand and four, And to

610
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 2: be fair, I'm gonna I'm gonna give them Mets some

611
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: credit here.

612
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: Kaz Matsue. I don't know if you've ever seen his

613
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: numbers in John I know, I know, Yeah, he was

614
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: he was like a thirty forty guy over there. So

615
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: he was a beast when he was playing.

616
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: And he also in a couple of years with the Mets,

617
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: he wasn't really like dreadfully awful like that rookie year,

618
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: he was actually sixth in the Rookie of the Year balloting.

619
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: He had seven homers, which, again for one hundred fourteen

620
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: games for a short stop back in the day, was

621
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: pretty good. Thirty doubles, fourteen stolen bases at two seventy

622
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: three thirty on base percentage, Like, this was a guy

623
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: who wasn't awful besides in the field. In two thousand

624
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: and four as shortstop, kaz Maatsui made twenty three errors

625
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: in one hundred and fourteen games. Every single game was

626
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: at shortstop, of course, because he's kas Matsu, He's coming

627
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: over the shortstop, not Jose Rays. And again in that year,

628
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: Jose Rays was literally abysmal at the plate again, a

629
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: sixty six up ops plus his two fifty in fifty games,

630
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: end up missing it most of the year with injuries.

631
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: So kas Matsui is my first pick because that was

632
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 2: when I was like really starting to love the Mets.

633
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: This is one of my first conscious seasons in two

634
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: thousand and four, and I'll just never forget how angry

635
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: w fan and my dad specifically worried that this guy

636
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 2: was playing shortstop over this young phenom and Jose Rays.

637
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a pretty good one. That is definitely the

638
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: best pick at shortstop. That at least buys me some time.

639
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Now I don't have to pick the shortstop for a while.

640
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: I can start throwing out some names here. And we're

641
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: going with a banger in round two?

642
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: Are we We're not We're not snaking it. We're just drafted.

643
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: Oh we can snake. We can snake. I think that's fair.

644
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 2: Snake is fair, all right, because my next pick is

645
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: somebody who is near and dear the most met Fans heart,

646
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 2: a critical cog in the Mets World Series run of

647
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, someone who I learned today just a few

648
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: short hours ago, actually had the most at bats from

649
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: the third base position of any Met in that year

650
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: of twenty fifteen. At the hot corner for my Mets

651
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: team is Eric Campbell.

652
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: Oh, mister soup.

653
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: Soup, the most Matt bats by any Mets third baseman

654
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen.

655
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 1: That guy drove me crazy. My dad loved him, as

656
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: the players like, he hits the ball hard every time.

657
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, but he doesn't. He just doesn't do that.

658
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: He's not good.

659
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: It's like that has the eggs of last thing and

660
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: tell you about.

661
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: It's like, nah, it's just like Eric Campbell. He had

662
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: the most at bats at third base in twenty fifteen. Yep,

663
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: he had like fifty more David right, Oh my god,

664
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: he was I see. I didn't even write him down

665
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't even dare put him on one of

666
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: my teams. I only did it because only the Mets

667
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: could go to a World Series when over the course

668
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: of the season, Eric Campbell had their most at bats

669
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: at third base. Yeah, that's why he's a Met.

670
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: That's why he's one of the most Mets players of

671
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 2: all time, because this guy managed three hundred that bats

672
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: in a year where the Mets went to a World Series.

673
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: Just try to put that through your head for a second. No,

674
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. That's pretty good. It's pretty Mets. I'm

675
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna raise you one better, though, I'm gonna

676
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: raise you one better and you might get a little

677
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: bit of idea of where my picks are going. So

678
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: here is we're gonna head out to the outfield. There's

679
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: I got like fifteen guys written down. And when you

680
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: think of, you know, some of the greatest Met outfielders

681
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: of all time again. You got a lot of different names.

682
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: Carlos Beltron, Maybe you throw Kleon Jones out there, Darryl Strawberry,

683
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: throw some of those guys out there. How about Jason Bay.

684
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: How about mister Jason Bay, the man who can get

685
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: over the Great Wall of Flushing refused to play even

686
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: near my list. Yeah, well, Jason Bay is gonna be

687
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: in my outfield slot him in. Talk about an absolute

688
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: Mets player. At the core of it, he had career

689
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: years he was one of the best hitters in baseball.

690
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: With Pittsburgh and Boston, he was unbelievable. He comes to

691
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: the Mets not only can't hit because the Great Wall

692
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: Flushing just owned him. He was mentally one of the

693
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: weakest guys out there. But then when he started to

694
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: play well, he got concussed and then that was it.

695
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: He couldn't play again with the Mets. He was never

696
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: the same. Unfortunately, that was kind of the end of

697
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: his career. So it's a little bittersweet that he didn't

698
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 1: actually get a chance to come back and show us

699
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: what we could have had. But Jason Bay, you talk

700
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: to any Mets fan of the last thirty that's a

701
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: guy that they bring up. That just gives you nightmares.

702
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: I was at Jason Bay's first game as a Met,

703
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 2: I think of twenty eleven, and if I remember correctly,

704
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: he had two extra base hits in that game.

705
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: That's crazy because that might be two of his twenty

706
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: five extra base hits as a New York Met. I mean,

707
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: he just really didn't put up many seasons with this team. No,

708
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: almost not he Oh god, what that guy. That guy

709
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: gave me. He gave me trust issues for a whole decade

710
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: in my life. Yeah, and he's just the tip of

711
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: the iceberg. We got so much more left here because

712
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm about to hit you with another trust issue, uh huh,

713
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: coming in at my utility position. Because he didn't actually

714
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: uh didn't actually play the field at all with the

715
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: New York Mets. I think he might know where I'm

716
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 1: going here.

717
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 4: Hm.

718
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: He was signed by one of the great gms in

719
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: baseball history, Brody Van Wagon. In my list. Stand up

720
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: and clap, New York Mets fans. It's Jed Lowry. Jed Lowry,

721
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: what do you have? Three at bats for the Mets.

722
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 1: Never touched the field defensively. If you want to talk

723
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: about trust issues, Jed Lowry is the ultimate guy with

724
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: trust issues. He went from being healthy, clean bill of

725
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: health to well maybe it's a little you know, a

726
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: sprained ankle or whatever it was, to oh, this guy's

727
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: out for a year. All this guy's never gonna play

728
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: again for the Mets, and then he goes out to

729
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: Oakland last year and has a really nice season with them.

730
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: Fuck Jed Lowry gott I hate that guy.

731
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 2: I was I was gonna take you on my last pick,

732
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 2: and I thought I was gonna be able to get

733
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: him next.

734
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: Fuck damn it. No, I'm I'm I'm really leaning into

735
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: the misery. I'm really leaning into the cause. Listen, we're

736
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: on our way out of all Mets, so this is

737
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: gonna be like almost a magnum opus of lol Mets here,

738
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: Jason Bay, Jed Lowry, I have, oh man, where Minna goes?

739
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: We got two picks here, two picks, and that was

740
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: my utility. That's very important. Okay. Yeah, So saying we

741
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: keep a second base open, yeah, I'll keep a second

742
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: base open because I got more names. I only have

743
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: a couple of second basemen. Oh, I've got some great ones,

744
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: all right. Where am I going here? Where am I

745
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: going here? Where am I going here? All right?

746
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: I think I have one. We want to talk about

747
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: Mets misery. There's no nothing's more miserable and the Mets

748
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: fail prospects.

749
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: From over the years.

750
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: We have seen guys who were supposed to be the

751
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: second Coming, who are gonna be covers of magazines. We're

752
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: gonna take this team of the Promised Land. And there

753
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: was no Mets pros respect of our youth. That was

754
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: a bigger deal than one Fernando Martinez. This guy had

755
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: all the tools, he had all the makeup. He was

756
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: hitting balls over school yards in double A. He could

757
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: do anything, no wrong whatsoever, And he came up and

758
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: was absolutely abysmal as a major league baseball player the

759
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: entire time he was a major league baseball player.

760
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: He also, I think, ran into some big, big injury

761
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: problems as well as soon as he got in the

762
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: major league. Couldn't couln't even try to stay healthy.

763
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: But his only real shot was one hundred play the

764
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: Appearance Cup of Coffee in two thousand and nine, and

765
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 2: this guy hit one seventy six one home run, one

766
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: of two home runs he ever hit and met from

767
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine through twenty eleven. He ended up

768
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: catching on with the Astros twenty twelve, when they were

769
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: the worst team in baseball, put together a forty game sample.

770
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: He hit two forty. But Fernando Martinez, man the best

771
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: that never was, just couldn't even get a beat on

772
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: this guy.

773
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: That guy, I mean, he was supposed to be the

774
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: second coming, the next Darryl Strawberry, Mike Piazza of this franchise,

775
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: of like, he's gonna be a cornerstone, he's gonna turn around,

776
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna lead you to a World Series. And he

777
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: couldn't have done any less impact on this team than that.

778
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the people we could have probably traded him for,

779
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't even want to think about that.

780
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: No, probably could have been a piece that made this

781
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 2: not collapse two years in around two thousand and seven,

782
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight.

783
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: Franchise changing players.

784
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look like a pitcher who could have helped

785
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: the Mets possibly won a World Series. But again that's

786
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: neither here nor there. Whatever my next pick, this is

787
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: a guy who I'll never forget the rest of my life,

788
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 2: a guy that somehow, in some way is still an

789
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: active pitcher in Major League Baseball twenty years later, he

790
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: was a mega prospect.

791
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: He was a high money signing. He did actually have

792
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: a couple pretty solid.

793
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: Years for the Mets, but he pitched a game on

794
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 2: a Friday night in two thousand and seven that I

795
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: was at that ruined the whole thing. Gave up like

796
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: six runs in the first inning, absolutely catapulted any chance

797
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: the Mets might have had to win to go to

798
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs with one of the best rosters in baseball

799
00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: and this guy's left ended pitcher, Oliver Perez of my

800
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: most met staff of all time.

801
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: Yep, I had Ali listed down. I mean the two

802
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: thousand and six playoff run as well. He was inter

803
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: goal and giving up a big home run. He's just

804
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: you look all around the mid two thousands and you

805
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: think of you know, dysfunction or you know, choking, and

806
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: Aliver Prez is right at the center of it.

807
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: And again that two thousand and seven season, Oliver Prez

808
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: was not bad. He had three five ERA and one

809
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy innings with the Mets like he was decent.

810
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 2: But then you go to the next couple of years

811
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, four to two ERA, starting thirty

812
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: four games the most in baseball, also issued the most

813
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: walks in baseball, the thing we know Oliver Prez best for.

814
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: And then we get two thousand and nine sixty six innings,

815
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: six point eight two ERA, and that's when the wheels

816
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: fell off from there. But eventually, just two years after

817
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: he left the Mets went to Seattle, the Met the

818
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: antithesis of the Mets. He became a left handed reliever,

819
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: and from then on he has remained a left handed reliever,

820
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: throwing just three innings for Cleveland last year, but three

821
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: innings that I did not think Alvi Prez would throw

822
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: in the Lord's Year of twenty twenty one.

823
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Oliver Prez, what a frigging name to pull

824
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: out there. It's it's so incredible that this guy actually

825
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: still has a chance to be a pitcher in twenty

826
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: twenty two.

827
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: He was a good one up until last year, like

828
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty through eighteen innings that were decent. He was

829
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: okay in twenty nineteen, like he's been a pitcher who

830
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 2: was like fine somehow still all right.

831
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 1: Well for my next pick here, because I'm upright, you

832
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: just picked your back to back ye all right, I

833
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: mean we're talking about LOL Mets. Right, that's this is

834
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: what this is all about. We're picking the most Mets players. Ever,

835
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: how about a guy we're still paying to this day

836
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: that hasn't stepped on the field in twenty years. It's

837
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: Bobby Bonia. You gotta take Bobby Bonia in the outfield.

838
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that I was able to get

839
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: this value here the fourth round is just unmatched. That's incredible.

840
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: Bobby Bonia. Everybody knows about it. Bobby Bonia Day. We

841
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: celebrate every year. We pay him a million dollars for

842
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: the next forty fifty years. Whatever. It is. What a

843
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: swindle job that guy did. He never really had to

844
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: do much with this Mets team, and he's still getting

845
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: checks to this day. He is the ultimate, seriously, probably

846
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: the most ultimate LOL Mets player of all time. You

847
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: can't really go past him.

848
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: No, you literally can't. You can't at all. And I

849
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: can't believe I let him go this far.

850
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a mistake on you. I was really happy.

851
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: I knew you were really all in on the pitching.

852
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: So when I heard Aliver Prez, I was upset because

853
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: he's the clear ace. He's the clear ace of the

854
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: pitching yeah, there's no there's no more medsays than that.

855
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: But I'll again, that was a good pick. I just

856
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: didn't go back far enough. I totally forgot about blind Spot. Yes, yes,

857
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: so we got him. Now I'm gonna go back to

858
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: the infield here, I'm gonna stay on the offensive side

859
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: of the baseball and I'm gonna go to second base.

860
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: And you know, this guy, he had some he had

861
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: some good seasons and some teams around the National League

862
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: GeSe like the Marlins. But he's probably best known for

863
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: dropping the fly ball against the New York Yankees. And

864
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: that would be my least favorite met of all time,

865
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: not even close. Louis Castillo, I hate this guy. It's

866
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: it's it's almost a sin that I put him on

867
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: this team, but I for that reason, Yeah, every bone

868
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: in my body hates Louis Castile. Louis Castillo said, hey, Mark,

869
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: what's up. How you doing, I'd say, go fuck yourself.

870
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: I hate him. I don't want anything to do with

871
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: this guy. He was he was supposed to be like

872
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: that missing piece because when we were you know, at

873
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: second base, the guys that were run out there were like,

874
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: uh was it? John Valentine what's his name, Jose Valentine,

875
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: Jose Valentine. Like we were thrown out geriatric patients at

876
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: second base, and Louis Castillo would always been good, came

877
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: to the Mets and he just was awful. And I

878
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: also have to give a shout to John Miller, who

879
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 1: loves over pronunciating Hispanic names, and we read Louis Castillo Castillo,

880
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: no castigio castigiel. He gave us. He gave him the

881
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: castillio castigil He gave the the real, the real double

882
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: l sound that you know only the real Hispanics can do.

883
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: Louis Castillo's my second basement. That's a hell of a

884
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: pick right there. Hell of a pick. Did you just

885
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: make two picks? That is two picks for me? So

886
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: you are now up again. I'm up again. I'm up again.

887
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 2: See like I have some outfielders I really want to take,

888
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: but I already have one back there.

889
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: So I mean, if it makes me feel like I

890
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: should go to a different.

891
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: Position, who is the most met player on my list here,

892
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: I am going to take this outfielder because I think

893
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: this outfielder is just he. Again, there's the mainstay of

894
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 2: our childhood as growing up as Mets fans. This is

895
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: a guy who was I don't want to say he

896
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: was like near MVP talent, but this guy was a

897
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: hell of a ball player at the time the Mets

898
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: pulled him in and literally, and I mean this literally

899
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 2: could not was so fat that he could not stay

900
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 2: on the field as a member of the Mets. And

901
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: this is none Oh that's wait. This is an outfielder.

902
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: This is a first baseman.

903
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: I fucked up.

904
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 2: This man is no other than the great, the legend

905
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: mo Vaughn. Mo Vaughn signed to the Mets ahead of

906
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 2: two thousand and one season. In three years, did not

907
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: even catch one hundred and sixty two games. No, he

908
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 2: actually know he got just over one hundred sixty two games.

909
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: He played first base.

910
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he played one hundred and sixty six and

911
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: three years.

912
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: Mo Vaughn baby freak so excited when mo Vaughn was

913
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: a Met. I loved mo Vaughn. I he was in

914
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: backyard baseball. He was so cool, hit for power. I

915
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: was a huge Levon guy. I was like, the Mets

916
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: got mo vaugh and then he just he Albert Haynesworth

917
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: us a little bit, oh big time. Albert Haynes with us.

918
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 2: Do you do you want to hear the games played

919
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: by Mo Vaughn the five years before he came to

920
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: the Mets.

921
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: It's gotta be one sixty two, one sixty two, one

922
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: sixty two.

923
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: One sixty one, fifty four thirty nine one sixty one

924
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: dead dead, just die.

925
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: Dead in the water. Move on. So so not good.

926
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: One of the worst signings the Mets have ever made.

927
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 2: Definitely, I'm trying to even just find his contract right now.

928
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: I can't even I think he was like getting about

929
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: seventeen million a year, which was a lot back then.

930
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: Oh it was.

931
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: It was a three year contract for forty million dollars,

932
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 2: which again back then, actually oh no, eight three years

933
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: are forty eight million dollars with a full signing bonus

934
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: for at two thousand and four seasons last year with

935
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: the club, So that must have been really great for

936
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: them to pay out.

937
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, God, move on, all right? Who you got next?

938
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: Who I got next? Who do I got next? And

939
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: put him?

940
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 4: Move on?

941
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: Make sure I bowled him on my list, put him

942
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: on a put my first base mix.

943
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: I really don't think he was a first baseman. Yeah,

944
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: move on, big first, But where else could he play.

945
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: So we have on my list so far big free

946
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: agents who failed, Mega prospects who failed, an international free

947
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: agent who failed.

948
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: I want to do their verse of that. I want

949
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 2: to get a guy who was so obscure and so

950
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: ineffective with the Mets that he let him go for

951
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: literally nothing, and he went to the wonderful country of

952
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 2: South Korea for a year and learned how to pitch

953
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 2: and came back into the twenty two and found his

954
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: way to fifteen wins out in the Pacific Northwest.

955
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: And that man my number two pitcher.

956
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 2: I'd feel good starting the end of the Yes, but

957
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 2: this guy is my number two pitcher, Chris goddamn Flexen.

958
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: How bad the Mets need Chris Flexen twenty twenty one?

959
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: My god, how bad do they need him next year?

960
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 2: I'd like him right now, Chris Flexen.

961
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: I just I can't, you know, I can't really blame

962
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: the Mets, though I will say that I don't blame

963
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: the Mets at all, But that's a Mets thing to happen, exactly. Yeah,

964
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: Chris Flexen figured out how to pitch. As soon as

965
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: he left the New York area.

966
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 2: My uncle was going off about Chris Flexen during Thanksgiving.

967
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, you lose this guy and you listen

968
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: to the pitch and that one year later, how's it happened?

969
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: Chris Flexen? My goodness, man, all right, so I'm gonna

970
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: actually take my first picture here, and this guy, I

971
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: think is also is more so of the good side

972
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: of the Mets here, more so of the only the

973
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Mets could pull this off. And he's a pitcher. He's

974
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: known for one particular pitching in particular nice, I'm gonna

975
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: go with R. Dickey because only the Mets, really, I

976
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: mean like at the time now obviously if he told

977
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: me the Dodgers or the Brewers, the Rays, that's who

978
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: I'd expect now, but only the Mets could get ra A.

979
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: Dickey at age what, age thirty five and be like

980
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: he made a spot start. I remember, he just we

981
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: need someone badly, and they were like, wait a second.

982
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: Pitched really well, and then he started to pitch more

983
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: and he had a two eight R and then you go,

984
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, a few years later he's a staple of

985
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: this Mets rotation and he went to the Cy Young

986
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: Award as a knuckleballer. He was disgusting I mean two

987
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: seven three R two hundred and thirty three innings. Pitch

988
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 1: led major League Baseball in strikeouts that year or National League.

989
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: I apologized the National League and strikeouts that year. And

990
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't like, you know, just because he pitched the most.

991
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: He had like a nine kper nine that was pretty

992
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: good back then. He was a very very good pitcher.

993
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: And he brought us No Cindergarten, Travis dar Now, who

994
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: were big parts of the World Series runs, ra A

995
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: Dickey on the positive side of you know, all of

996
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: the Mets, right, only the Mets, All right, Dicky, that's

997
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: a good pick. And then I'm also gonna stay on

998
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: the pitching side again here. And this guy had some

999
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: positive times with us too, but you might I remember

1000
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: him for maybe swinging the bat a little bit more.

1001
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: Called by Gary Khone is the greatest What was the

1002
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: greatest thing that's ever happened in baseball history?

1003
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I think the impossible has happened.

1004
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: The impossible. Yeah, the impossible has happened. That's what it was.

1005
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: Bartolo Colone, big sexy. I mean, you can't talk about

1006
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: that's a pander p that's I don't care about a

1007
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: pander pick. Because Bartolo Cologne. He's the ultimate meme. He

1008
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: became a meme when he came to the Mets. He

1009
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: was always a fat load with every single team he

1010
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: was ever with, But the Mets were like, you know what,

1011
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: foury years old, Bartolo Cologne, you have another family that

1012
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: you're taking care of. We want you. And he's still

1013
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: every single year rumored that the Mets should bring back

1014
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: Bartolo Colonne and thank god they haven't because he's seventy

1015
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: five or however old he is now, but big sexy.

1016
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: Whether it was throwing his eighty five mile an hour

1017
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: fastball dot in the inside corner with a two seam,

1018
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: swinging the bat, he was always must watch baseball and

1019
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: I love that he was a part of the Met's history.

1020
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: There's the anniversary of the Mets signing him and it

1021
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: was just way too big of a deal.

1022
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 1: On Twitter, Yeah, we can calm down with that for sure.

1023
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous that to this day everyone on the Internet

1024
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: is like Bartole Colon, Mets gotta bring him back.

1025
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: It's the infatuation is insane. It's over. It's it's way over.

1026
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: I mean, you thought he was out of shape, then

1027
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't played baseball in what three or four years?

1028
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: I can imagine Bartolo's pushing Zion Williams in wait.

1029
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's pushing Zion Williams. And wait at

1030
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: this point, all right, my next pick. Usually when I

1031
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: do fancy baseball draft, I like to wait on closers

1032
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: because the most volata opposition in baseball.

1033
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: You never know who's.

1034
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 2: Gonna do what year after year, you never know who's

1035
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: gonna hold what role. But I just couldn't let this

1036
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: guy wait any longer. Big theme of my pick so

1037
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: far but disappointing Mets guys who were so much better elsewhere,

1038
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: whether it be before or after, or just perceived they

1039
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: would be.

1040
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: Better so than other teams. End the Mets.

1041
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: My closer and my all time Mets team is none

1042
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 2: other than the great, the powerful, the eccentric Francisco Rodriguez

1043
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 2: dubbed k rod Rod to sign. At the time, I

1044
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 2: believe it was the largest contract ever for a relief pitcher,

1045
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 2: coming off the season with the most saves of all

1046
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: time for relief pitcher. But I think it's still standing

1047
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: and will most likely never ever be broken, because no

1048
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 2: team would be dumb enough to send a guy who's

1049
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 2: not even that good out there for a seventy save

1050
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 2: chances in the season to the shoddy seasons that he

1051
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 2: had consistently and then above all else, beat the shit

1052
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 2: out of his father in law. I believe it was Yeah,

1053
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: inside of I think that was city Field already at

1054
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 2: the time. Like, it doesn't get more Mets than that.

1055
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: That is kay Rod Francisco Rodriguez, my closer all time

1056
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 2: Mets team.

1057
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably the best closer you could choose. I'm

1058
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: sure maybe there's maybe some guys old back in the

1059
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: day that we don't know about, but k Rod is

1060
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: pretty as Mets as it gets, as Mets as it gets.

1061
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that phrase. And my next pick.

1062
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to give a couple legacy picks here, some

1063
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: real old time he Mets, some guys who were just

1064
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: some grinders, some guys who sat down on some Mets

1065
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: teams and did so much for so little, for so

1066
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: many years. I'm gonna get a catcher guy was gonna

1067
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: lead my team into the promised Land.

1068
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: I know it is none other than Jerry Growthy. Baby, Yeah,

Speaker 2: for eleven seasons with the New York Mets from nineteen

1072
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 2: sixty six, then he got trade the middle nineteen seventy

00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 2: Jerry Growthy had it combined thirty five home runs in

1075
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,239

Speaker 2: Meds and an eleven year window. This guy was a

1078
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 2: grinder as good as he gets. Right there, this is

1079
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: this is, this is blue collars, salt of the Earth,

1080

Speaker 2: Baby, those teams besides for it, get going to two

1083
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 2: World Series shore with some of the worst teams statistically

1084
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 2: in the history of the sport, and Jerry Grody was

1085
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: back there, squatting day in and day out, doing what

1086
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: he had to do.

1087
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, that's a pretty good pick. That's a, like

1088
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: you said, a legacy pick. And you know what, I'm

1089
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna make my legacy pick here too, because when I

1090
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: asked my dad the same question, the first name out

1091
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: of his mouth, not even close, didn't even get to

1092
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: finish the question. Third baseman for my most Mets team ever,

1093
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: Jim Fragozi. He was the guy that they traded for

1094
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan and he was just bad. He was just asked, like,

1095
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: you traded Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosie. I mean, there's

1096
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: no world I know Nolan Ryan wasn't Nolan Ryan that

1097
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: we know today, of course, but the fact that you

1098
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: gave up this guy who is one of the best

1099
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: pitchers of all time for a guy that I'm I'm

1100
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: sure I don't know. I'd go out on lim and

1101
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: say eighty five percent of you don't know about because

1102
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: if we have a younger audience. Jim Fragozi played for

1103
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: the Mets a total of about one hundred and fifty games,

1104
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: and then those one hundred and fifty games with the Mets,

1105
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: he hit two thirty three the three, nineteen on base

1106
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: three twenty eight, slugging six forty six ohps, five homers,

1107
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: nineteen doubles, forty three RBIs. I mean even for old

1108
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: time baseball nothing. He had nothing, and he was coming

1109
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: off some really good years in uh Los Angeles, California

1110
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: with the A's where he was really good, where he

1111
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: was constantly putting ops pluses up above like one ten,

1112
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: one twenty. He was a good player came to the

1113
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: Mets for Nolan Ryan Stunk. So Jim Fergoze is gonna

1114
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: be my third baseman. I had an honorable mention there

1115
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: that I'll hold a little bit to the end. Maybe

1116
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: we can say them after we're all done with our

1117
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: picks of just some guys we didn't get to mention,

1118
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be my third baseman. And then coming

1119
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: in at shortstop. I think this might be one of

1120
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: the biggest favorites of Mets fans around the world, and

1121
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: it happened at this position. He cried for the Mets,

1122
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: cried for this team. He even played shortstop during the

1123
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: World Series. I mean, Wilmer Flores whole World Series is

1124
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna be my guy at shortstop? You cried for the

1125
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: Mets because you got traded. Who the hell wants to

1126
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: stay with this organization that they cry so much like

1127
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave. I know. Wilmer came over

1128
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: with the Mets when he was sixteen. He like went,

1129
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: I think right to Savannah because weirdly enough, I had

1130
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: a college class and the professor was the owner of

1131
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: the Savannah San Natz and he was talking about the

1132
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: incredibly difficult time that Wimer Flora has had adjusting to

1133
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: living in Savannah as like a seventeen eighteen year old

1134
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: whatever it was. And when he heard about the possibility

1135
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: that he might get traded, he broke out in tears.

1136
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: Broke out in tears. And not to mention, Wilmer was

1137
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: a great player for us too. He had some great moments,

1138
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: one of the most clutch players that we've seen, and

1139
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: put on a Mets uniform without a doubt. I think

1140
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 1: if he wasn't on this team or wasn't on this list,

1141
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: it would be a disservice. Warmer Flora is gonna be

1142
00:45:58,960 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: my shortstop.

1143
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 2: It's a great pay. It was a hell of a

1144
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: pick right there. He was my other short sup besize Caz.

1145
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: If you went Kaz one, I was taking Walmer there

1146
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: no doubt. I'm happy you went with that because I

1147
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: want him to be on this list.

1148
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1149
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 1: The other guy I had written down was Mike Bordick,

1150
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: which I don't know if that's the name you're familiar with,

1151
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: but the Mets, I believe, traded for him in like

1152
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: two thousand to be their shortstop from the Orioles. Great

1153
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: with the Orioles played that half a season with the

1154
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: Mets and never came back, went right back to Baltimore.

1155
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: He stunk, He was horrible. But yeah, I like Wilmer

1156
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: more so I think it's now your turn. Here. We're

1157
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: starting to, you know, wrap up the starting lineup, so

1158
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of pitching, heavy, heavy right now.

1159
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go a picture right here. Picture I

1160
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 2: can't believe made it this far. There's no one I

1161
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 2: think about more so when I think about the should

1162
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,720
Speaker 2: have Wokoudas of the Mets, because that's what entire organization

1163
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: is based on. Should have Withvan kov And no one

1164
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: strikes me more as that than the Dark Knight Matt Harvey,

1165
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: the former best pitcher in baseball, the most electrifying right

1166
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: hander I think, I still maybe I've ever seen in

1167
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 2: my adult life just now Meyer than mediocrity throwing one

1168
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: hundred and for of the innings for the Baltimore Orioles

1169
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: to a five VR.

1170
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: He doesn't.

1171
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: It doesn't get worse than that. Matt Harvey went from

1172
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: being one of the best pitchers in baseball. It's literally

1173
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 2: being trapped in baseball hell or baseball pergatory. I guess

1174
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 2: we could call it, and some of that it's his fault.

1175
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 2: Some of that were things out of his control. But

1176
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 2: I cannot think about Matt Harvey and not become just

1177
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 2: viscerally upset, even to this point in my life.

1178
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know we were a little tough on him

1179
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: when we went up against him this year, but like

1180
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 1: that's just fact of the matter. But we all remember

1181
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: the great days with Harvey, and it was it was

1182
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: a pretty insane high. It was.

1183
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 2: There was almost like nothing you could even compare that

1184
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 2: to even now, Like we know how good Jacob de

1185
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: Gram is, but there was still not even the type

1186
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 2: of fanfare as was for Harvey because he was the

1187
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: first of that generation of big Mets pitching prospects that

1188
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: we waited so long for, and he had like the

1189
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 2: New York swag.

1190
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: He was a good looking guy.

1191
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: He was kind of more imposing on the mound, like

1192
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: he was a beast, and he just went to that name. Yeah,

1193
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: the Dark Knight is still in the lead nickname, one

1194
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: of the best ones I've ever seen the Mets give out.

1195
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: But God, Matt Harvey makes me sad. Still guy sucks.

1196
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: But let's make another pick now.

1197
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna dip back into the outfield waters,

1198
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: and I'm going to stick with my my failed prospect

1199
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: fell prospects here.

1200
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: There's two. There's two of that, two of them out there,

1201
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna get one. No, don't do it a

1202
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: center fielder. I don't know if he played center field

1203
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: or not.

1204
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: I might just I might just flip and take your guy. Now,

1205
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: I don't even I can. I'm gonna think I originally

1206
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 2: go with because this was the guy who was the

1207
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: pair with Fernando Martinez. The Mets had these two freaks

1208
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 2: coming up at the same time. They were gonna do everything.

1209
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: And his name is Carlos Gomez.

1210
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: Oh yes, Oh you thought I was gonna take the

1211
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: other one. Yeah, with the crazier name. Yes, all right,

1212
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: well there you go.

1213
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 2: I want the guy to play center. I want the

1214
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: guy who play center.

1215
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's where Carlos Gomez. Uh. He did some

1216
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: good for us though.

1217
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 2: That home run against the Nationals in twenty nineteen. I'll

1218
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: never forget that. It was an a day game, really really

1219
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 2: sent us to the right spot. But Carlos Gomez men

1220
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 2: five tool player, none of them ever came to be

1221
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 2: part of that famous Wilmer Flora's trade back to the Mets.

1222
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 2: It didn't come to fruition and they ended up getting

1223
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 2: him off the scrap heap five years later, which is

1224
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 2: just incredibly Mets. But Carlos Gomez one of the first

1225
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: names I think of when I think of Mets, so huge.

1226
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: Shot to him part of the big package, like as

1227
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: Johans Santana, that was huge. Ye oh no, of course.

1228
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have most of the Satanic guys on this page.

1229
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Carlos Gomez. Al Right, well, then I'm just

1230
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna take the guy that I thought you were going with.

1231
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: And I would have been devastated because I liked this

1232
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: guy when he got called up, and he would be

1233
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: a star nowadays, he would be a star. He'd be

1234
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: all over social media. People would be loving him. His

1235
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: play wouldn't be very great, but he would be a star.

1236
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: And that's gonna be none other than Lasting's Millage, who

1237
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: was just a firecracker when it comes to talking about

1238
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: how he played the game. I mean, this is a

1239
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: guy who was a top prospect in the Mets organization.

1240
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: He got ranked as high as number nine preseason by

1241
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: Baseball America. He went eighty six eleven nine. He was

1242
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: part of Futures Games. He was supposed to be part

1243
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: of this future outfield that you just mentioned of Fernando Martinez,

1244
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: Carlos Gomez and Lasting's Millage, which you'd think that would

1245
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: be great, but none of them panned out. And he

1246
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: is just one of those all around great names in

1247
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: baseball history, definitely one of the most Mets players of

1248
00:49:58,960 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: all time.

1249
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: I'll know, I ever forget the moment the Mets clenched

1250
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,919
Speaker 2: the two thousand and six Division, which was like still

1251
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 2: in August, because the Mets were so dominant that year,

1252
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 2: like early September, a home game against the Marlins, and

1253
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: last Thing's Mileage had come up during the summer of

1254
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 2: that team and was like playing pretty well, like he

1255
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 2: was only hitting the ball a little bit, and they

1256
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 2: were in the locker room interviewing people, and he had

1257
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: a Bolish Champagne.

1258
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how weald.

1259
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: He was at the time, but he took a massive

1260
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 2: swig at that bottle of champagne, ripped it away, and

1261
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: he goes, this is my.

1262
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: First drink, and I lost my mind. As a child

1263
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, he would have just been

1264
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: twenty one there you go, perfect great timing.

1265
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 2: So either he was lying and making a joke or

1266
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 2: that really genuinely was last thing's Melage for first drink.

1267
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we also remember when he I think he

1268
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: hit home run and he went around the outfield when

1269
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: he was running out there in high five and everybody.

1270
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy was a memur at all aspects

1271
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 1: of the game. Loved me some last things. Millage definitely

1272
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: did not pan out, No, did not pan out whatsoever.

1273
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna go back to the pitching side

1274
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: here for my second pick coming around, and I'm gonna

1275
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: name a guy that I loathe. I loathe this guy

1276
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: and it's because he was traded for a really good

1277
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: Mets prospect who wanted to be a part of Mets

1278
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: team for years and years. I'm not picking Scott Casmir.

1279
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: We're picking Victor Zambrono. The guy who was traded for

1280
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: Victor Zambrono stunk, There's no way around it. I mean

1281
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: his value was that, like he didn't get hurt because

1282
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: he couldn't possibly get hurt really because he was just

1283
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 1: through like eighty two. I don't know. He was so bad.

1284
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: He was horrendous. He played way too long with the Mets,

1285
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: and he was so bad. I mean a career era

1286
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: with the Mets of four to four to two one

1287
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: five whip. His FIP wasn't much better. He stunk in

1288
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay too. It made no sense that the Mets

1289
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: traded one of their top prospects in Scott Casmir for

1290
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,919
Speaker 1: a legitimate bumm in Victor Zambrono. So I gotta take

1291
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: him because I can't talk about the two thousands of

1292
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: Mets without him.

1293
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 2: I have a very specific memory about Victors and Brodno,

1294
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna share it now.

1295
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: His first ever start with the Mets.

1296
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: It was probably either mid July or early August of

1297
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 2: that year that traded was two thousand and four, thousand

1298
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 2: and five.

1299
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, two thousand and four. I was in the car

1300
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: with my family.

1301
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 2: I think we were actually heading to a Brooklyn Cyclones game,

1302
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 2: but I remembers being in Staten Island and listening to

1303
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 2: his first start as a Met, and somehow, in some way,

1304
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 2: the Mets actually batted around in the first inning. I

1305
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 2: believe they're playing the Cups and he I think Howie

1306
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: Rose talked about the time he was one of like

1307
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: three or four Mets pitchers ever who got an at

1308
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 2: bat with the Mets before he threw a pitch.

1309
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: Which is just crazy. That's pretty good.

1310
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 2: So back to me now, I think I'm gonna dip

1311
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 2: my toes into the reliever waters for the first time,

1312
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 2: because there are some such funny relievers that the Mets

1313
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 2: have had over just even our lifetimes. I couldn't even

1314
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,240
Speaker 2: imagine what this was like in the seventies, eighties, and nineties.

1315
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 2: But there's one guy I think about when I think

1316
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 2: of just simple catastrophes, guys who had all the opportunities

1317
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 2: in the world and just pissed it away, not once,

1318
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 2: not twice, not three times. But this guy actually pissed

1319
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: it away four separate times. I say pissed literally because

1320
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Henry Mahia. That's a good one, the

1321
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,439
Speaker 2: steroid king of the Bay of the world. No one

1322
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 2: likes steroids or performs enhancing subling is more than Henry

1323
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 2: Mehia to throw a hundred, don't care. I want to

1324
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 2: throw a hundred and three. I want to do everything

1325
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 2: possible to be better, stronger, faster, leaner. And that was

1326
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 2: Henry Mihia. We'll we'd quit at no costs to become

1327
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 2: more more power powerful.

1328
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: Man's kicked out of baseball, not allowed to play.

1329
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 2: No, I think one of the only people ever. Yeah,

1330
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 2: addicted to steroids.

1331
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: It's a good pick, Henry Miha And he was. He

1332
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: was really good two at points as well with the Mets, fantastic.

1333
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: But cheating. You know that's bad. Yeah, it happens. Now

1334
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: my next picture, I'm just sticking the bullpench I go

1335
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: back to the rotation, and he won at one more

1336
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: outfielder and he might utility man. I still need the

1337
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: second basement, but I don't even have any good options there.

1338
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: Actually I have.

1339
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 2: God, I'm I'm gonna say my second basement at the end.

1340
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 2: Actually know what, I'm gonna take my second basement right now.

1341
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm ready to take the second basement. There's a guy who, uh,

1342
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 2: I've talked about a lot over the last couple of months.

1343
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 2: There's a guy who's going to be a central cog

1344
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 2: in the Mets deep playoff run of twenty twenty one.

1345
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: The guy who just faked an injury in the Dominican leagues.

1346
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 2: We can open up a restaurant uptown Manhattan. This man, mister,

1347
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: don't you know Robinson Cano one of the greatest hitting

1348
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 2: second basements of all time, but actual would have been

1349
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: a potential Hall of Fame or if he also didn't cheat.

1350
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: This is my steroid round. There's my steroid round. God,

1351
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: this guy. What a disaster his acquisition has been for

1352
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 2: the last three years.

1353
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: Absolute disaster. The amount of money we're on the hook

1354
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: for for this guy is crazy. And what's even more

1355
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: insane is that we gave up Jared Kalinnick for it.

1356
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean we he could be a pick Jared Kalennick

1357
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: on this team of all time Mets because only the

1358
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: Mets would trade it. He didn't play one game with

1359
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: the Mets, but he's generational talent. Trade away for a

1360
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: closer and an aging twenty five million dollars a year

1361
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: second basement?

1362
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 2: Did you guy rid of Jay Bruce's contract? And Anthony Swarzak.

1363
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: You can't forget that those are two guys on my list,

1364
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: but whatever.

1365
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: Yes, Anthony Swarzak apparently is aware of my existence and

1366
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: does not care for me. That would make a ton

1367
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: of sense. Yeah, I'm one of the biggest Anthony Swarzak

1368
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: slanderers out there. It's not slander it's truth. Has missus

1369
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 1: Zamora ever gotten into your mentions? I actually liked Daniel Zamora,

1370
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: so there's no slander coming out of my mouth about him,

1371
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: but you have it if there was. Yeah, of course

1372
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: she's she backs her man. You gotta respect that. I'll

1373
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: respect the hell out of it. My turn now, right,

1374
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right. So I'm gonna also tap into

1375
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: the reliever bullpen market as well, and I'm gonna go

1376
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: get my closer. And this guy another another guy I loathe.

1377
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: I loathed a lot of Mets pitchers. I've started. I'm

1378
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: starting to really, you know, figure out here, But boy

1379
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: does this guy stink. And he didn't actually stink, but

1380
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: he did stink. And that's Armando Benitez. Armando Benitez is

1381
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 1: one of again, my least favorite Mets players ever. I mean,

1382
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: you just go back through time and you can remember

1383
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: all the ups and downs he had. He had a

1384
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 1: great first year with the Mets, a one eight five r.

1385
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: He was lights out and he was never the same

1386
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: and even it came back in two thousand and three,

1387
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: which was weird. Hate Armando Benitez one of my least

1388
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: fairit players of all time. That dude was a professional

1389
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: at blowing saves. He stunk how many saves and he

1390
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 1: blows in that mark Armando Benitez, Yeah, too many to count,

1391
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: But Armando benite is gonna be my closer. And then

1392
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: I'm also gonna go back to the reliever side here.

1393
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: And this one's a little interesting because he really just

1394
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: only had a very very very tiny blip with the

1395
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: New York Mets, but it is a very significant moment

1396
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: that happened. He lost the Mets a game, and only

1397
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: a way a Mets pitcher could do it, and that

1398
00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: would be none other than the balkoff man himself, Luis Ayala, which,

1399
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: if you guys remember against the Atlanta Braves, I believe

1400
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 1: it was bases loaded at the time. At the time,

1401
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: he might have been the closer or he set up man,

1402
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: whatever he was, but he balked in the winning run.

1403
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: Something that you don't see ever ever happened, and the

1404
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: Mets at Louis Ayala, they figured out a way to

1405
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: do it. So for me, Louis ai Ala is gonna

1406
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: be It's gonna be one of my top bullpen arms

1407
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: along with Armando.

1408
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys, you need both those guys. Back there together.

1409
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: That was a good round, good solid round out of you.

1410
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 2: Let's see what am I doing here? What am I

1411
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 2: doing here? My infield is set. I have every whole

1412
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 2: diamonds figured out. It's only one more outfielder, two more star.

1413
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 2: Theres two more believers, So you might as well might

1414
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 2: as well stick with the Bullpenn. We're already doing it

1415
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 2: right now. We're gonna talk about guys who failed with

1416
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: the Mets, who really blew games to the Mets, with

1417
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 2: about the biggest game that we ever saw the Mets

1418
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 2: ever blow. Mister Notre Dame fighting Irish himself, former first

1419
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: round pick Aaron Heilman, the bane of my existence. I

1420
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,760
Speaker 2: hated this guy more than was healthily possible as a child,

1421
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 2: and it was like it was actually your disdain for

1422
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 2: every single time this guy came into the game. It

1423
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: wasn't even the belief that he could one day be good.

1424
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 2: It wasn't even for those like that. One month, like May,

1425
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 2: when we were in like two thousand and five, we

1426
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 2: were like, oh maybe Erin Heilman could actually be a starter.

1427
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 2: He had pretty good month. No fuck this guy Blue

1428
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,280
Speaker 2: the NLCS against the Audi.

1429
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:15,720
Speaker 1: Malina, Oh my god, Eron Heilman.

1430
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 2: Even saying his name right now it makes me angry

1431
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 2: him getting come sweating.

1432
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Aaron Heilman is also one of my least favorite

1433
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: players of all the time. Again, another player I loathe.

1434
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: So funny when I went to the Draft combine this year,

1435
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: who do I see but Aaron Heilman is right there

1436
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: walking around talking to everybody.

1437
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that would do, if you

1438
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 2: guys even know what it's watching on YouTube. Like, I've

1439
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 2: had to take my sweatshirt off since we started this

1440
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 2: segment because I'm getting angry.

1441
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: He get high. Eron Heilman. I screamed many of pillows

1442
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: because he was pitching.

1443
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 2: Oh man, yeah, wait, what was What was the craziest

1444
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: thing you ever did, like physically with the Mets as a.

1445
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: Kid when they lost the game to the Cardinals in

1446
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, that's really the first time I

1447
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: remember like freaking out. And that was a stretch of

1448
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: then three back to back years of just yeah, messed

1449
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: up kind of childhood stuff. But I believe we had

1450
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: an ottoman and I think I flinged it. I think

1451
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: I flinged the ottoman. It was a small one, not

1452
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: a big one. It was a foot ottoman, but I

1453
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: was I was not happy with it. I pushed it

1454
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: towards the TV and my dad was like, whoa, calm down,

1455
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: it's okay, Like what's happening.

1456
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 2: Two thousand and seven, the last game of the year

1457
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 2: to the Marlin's when Cliff Floyd came up as the

1458
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 2: go ahead run the ninth inning with two outs and

1459
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 2: put the ball to the warning track that we all

1460
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 2: thought was probably gonna go out. I took like a

1461
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 2: little like child sized rocking chair that I had since

1462
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 2: I was like an infant.

1463
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: I picked it up over my head and I slammed

1464
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: it on the ground. I was like, what are you doing.

1465
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: I've done one slave in my life, and it's when

1466
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: the Knicks lost to the Celtics and Jared Jefferies was playing.

1467
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: I hate that guy. I also took my iPod touch

1468
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 2: that was in like a nice case. Luis Castillo dropped

1469
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 2: the ball. I just turned around and I whipped it

1470
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 2: against my wall. It's crazy, but that'd even saying, Oh

1471
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, do you have another pick?

1472
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? Wait?

1473
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was one pick. That was one pick.

1474
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go back to you.

1475
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 2: Know what, I almost have so many outfielders here that

1476
00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't even I don't even want to do someone this.

1477
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 2: I almost want you to pick another outfielder so I

1478
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 2: can pick someone like more fairly.

1479
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,919
Speaker 1: I've got all three you three leaves through left. Yeah,

1480
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: I know, I got all three outfielders done. Oh you do?

1481
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 3: All right?

1482
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm melliging, Boniah. That's elite, all right. I letna say

1483
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: for next rind then, because I just don't know.

1484
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna get back in the starting rotation here

1485
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 2: because there's just these Mets guys who we grew up with,

1486
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,479
Speaker 2: who did so many things that we don't care about

1487
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 2: at all. This guy was a sinkerballer looking back, he

1488
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: was a flash in the pan, but really felt like

1489
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 2: he could have been something note that other than Mike

1490
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 2: goddamn Pelfrey. Yeah, six foot seven, two hundred and fifty pounds,

1491
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 2: late draft pick Scott Boris client somehow, some way, who

1492
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 2: knows how the fuck that happened, But God, I really

1493
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 2: thought Mike Poffery they shot to be something.

1494
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: He was really good at times, and then Rick Peterson

1495
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: got in his head and the licking of the hand

1496
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: was unbelievable.

1497
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 2: He had one season two thousand and eight when he

1498
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 2: had three seven two ERA over two hundred innings and that,

1499
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 2: like that's pretty good. Three nine to six fit, Like

1500
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 2: this guy was something who could at least be like

1501
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 2: a filler in a rotation for a while. And then

1502
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 2: actually twenty ten he also I think this was a

1503
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 2: year he has dominant stretch. Remember he had like those

1504
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: two months where he was like basically unhittable, like it

1505
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: could you could do no wrong. Three six over two

1506
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 2: hundred four innings, Like that's a decent pitcher fifteen to

1507
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 2: nine record, But man, this guy just overall another one

1508
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 2: of those massive Mets pitching disappointments before the golden age

1509
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 2: of the Harvey de Graham times.

1510
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a good one. So I'm gonna go

1511
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: back to the starting rotation for this next guy. Another

1512
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: dude who's near and dear to my heart. I actually

1513
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: have a jersey of him because I lost a bet.

1514
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: And maybe maybe he's not the most Mets guy, but

1515
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: to me he is. He's just another one of these

1516
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: guys that I couldn't believe was a part of this franchise,

1517
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: not once, but twice. That's gonna be Jason Vargas. Jason

1518
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: Vargas is I mean between wanting to fight Tim Healy,

1519
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: which I think is still one of the coolest thing

1520
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: that's ever happened that Jason Vargas has ever done. The

1521
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: slick back hair looking like a bully. I mean, he

1522
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: was tough for a day. It would take it how

1523
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: you want to be. But boy did he stink. He

1524
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: was not a good pitcher by any means. He was

1525
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: so boring to watch. I remember I went to a

1526
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: game in Atlanta, drove to Atlanta from South Carolina, a

1527
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: nice four hour drive, got great seats. Shout out to

1528
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the Braves. They hooked me up better than the Mets

1529
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: ever have. But the Braves gave me great seats and

1530
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Jason Vargas couldn't even get out of the first inning.

1531
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: I was the only Met fans sitting in the area.

1532
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,479
Speaker 1: Gave him a standing. Oh Jason, that a boy, way

1533
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 1: to go. Give one of those. He heard me loud

1534
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: and clear. That guy stinks. But at least he did

1535
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: one good thing for the Mets, and that was he

1536
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: got trade to the Phillies, and he stunk, and he

1537
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: tanked their season and made the Phillies a fourth place

1538
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: team again for me, so that was huge. Jason Vargas

1539
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be my fourth starting pitcher in my rotation.

1540
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Jason Vargas shockingly had like some okay times with the Mets.

1541
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: Like I know, he's like more of a meme than

1542
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: anything else. But in twenty nineteen, before the Mets traded him,

1543
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: he had like an ERA at four, which mean for

1544
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: Jason Vargas that's like legendary status. Yeah, yeah, No, he

1545
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: wasn't like actually the worst pitcher of the Mets have

1546
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: ever seen. There's some guys on this list that are

1547
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: way worse, but he was just he was one of

1548
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: the banes of my existence. And then I'm gonna I'm

1549
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna go a little old school here because I talked

1550
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: about trading Nolan Ryan for Jim Fergozie. Right, well, let's

1551
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: talk about some of the guys that we trade for

1552
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Tom sever And one of those actually played pretty decent

1553
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: for the Mets. But he just isn't Tom Sever. It's

1554
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna be Pat Zachary. This is the guy who they

1555
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: got from the Reds supposed to be his young, you know,

1556
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: up and coming pitcher, and he was fine, but you

1557
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: traded one of the best pictures of all time. Guy

1558
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: who another guy like just wanted to be a Mets

1559
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: so badly loved being a part of this just shit

1560
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: show of an organization. For Pat Zachary, who never lived

1561
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: up to Tom sever hype. I feel like when you

1562
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, the Mets history, this is always

1563
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: a turning point is when the Mets traded Tom sever

1564
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: and who they get Pat Zachary. Gotta throw him in here.

1565
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,439
Speaker 1: That was a good pick, all right. I like that one.

1566
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 2: So now I've been buying enough time here. I've been

1567
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 2: waiting to pick an outfield there. I'm gonna take this

1568
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 2: in a very different direction of my matfilix, my MA

1569
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 2: outfields a little bit young, a little bit wrong. I

1570
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 2: want this outfield to have a little bit of experience

1571
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 2: in it. And the Mets do something so well where

1572
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 2: they will take guys who have been all time great

1573
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 2: players similar to Robinson Cano my second basement, and bring

1574
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 2: him onto their team for such a brief instance. The

1575
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: Mets have had Eddie Murray on their team for a

1576
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 2: single season. The Mets have had Bobby Brady on their

1577
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 2: team for a single season. The Mets had a couple

1578
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 2: of great years that more is this halu. But this

1579
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 2: player one of arguably the best outfields of all time.

1580
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 2: The Mets somehow signed for just no good reason whatsoever.

1581
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 2: And I think it was the late nineties, and that

1582
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 2: is Ricky Henderson.

1583
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I thought you were going somewhere else. Who

1584
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: do you think I was gone? I thought you're going

1585
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Willie Mays. No, I wasn't gonna do Willie Mason. Okay,

1586
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: think about it.

1587
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 2: I mean, at least Billy Mays was a New York

1588
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 2: thing Giants Mets like that was something similar, and he

1589
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: at least went to the World Series with the Mets.

1590
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: He wasn't. Was he a big part?

1591
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 2: No, but I'm sure having Willy Mays aerud helped a

1592
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 2: lot of helped morale. I'd love to hang out Willie Mays. Yeah,

1593
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 2: but no, Ricky Henderson was a Met for a single season.

1594
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: That dude. I talked about Lasting's millage being a star

1595
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: now and I know Ricky was a star then. Ricky

1596
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Henderson would be the most popular baseball player hands down,

1597
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: not even close if he was playing nowadays.

1598
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Ricky Henderson would like you have millions of

1599
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 2: followers on on Instagram.

1600
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: King of Swag, he'd be the shit like though when

1601
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: he hit the home run the little shoulder thing, I

1602
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: mean he was. He was literally dripping in swag.

1603
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 2: Ricky Henderson played the nineteen ninety nine season with the

1604
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 2: Mets and part of the two thousand seasons, so he

1605
01:03:58,160 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 2: didn't actually get a chance to run the World Series,

1606
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 2: and moving him on to Seattle midway through that season.

1607
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 2: But his one year with the Mets, he actually hit

1608
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 2: three fifteen four to twenty three on base twelve homers.

1609
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 2: He's stole uh in classic Rickey Henderson fashion, thirty seven bases,

1610
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 2: which I guess is probably still one of the high

1611
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 2: marks and Mets franchise history because the Mets are a

1612
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 2: team historically does not.

1613
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: Steal many bases.

1614
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 2: But one year, one year, one to Rickey Henderson at

1615
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 2: forty years old, almost all forty bases with the Mets.

1616
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: Very very Mets signing. Yes, No, Ricky Henderson all time

1617
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: great and I'm happy that I got to see him

1618
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: play with the Mets. Of tiny bit. Yeah, next ninety nine,

1619
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: you were three. I'm sure you're watching baseball. Yeah, you're very, very,

1620
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: very aware and active baseball watcher at three years old,

1621
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: So of course I would have told you that my pick.

1622
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 2: Now I have one more, have one more, I think

1623
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 2: when it round out this bullpen, I'm not even gonna

1624
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 2: say the name for everyone watching on YouTube from Mark,

1625
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna do a gesture and you're gonna know

1626
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 2: exactly who it is. Hansel Roblis, Mets legend, the king

1627
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 2: of the point to the sky, the king of the

1628
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 2: fly ball, the king of the home run, the king

1629
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 2: of the blown save, who's actually become a somewhat competent reliever.

1630
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 2: He always kind of was with the Mets, but it

1631
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 2: was almost so ammable they had to let him go.

1632
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:56,919
Speaker 2: He had decent year with the Angels, he had decent

1633
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 2: time with the Twins. He wasn't good with the Red

1634
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 2: Sox this year, but he was a necess every evil

1635
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 2: for them. But Hansel Robles rounding out my bullpen? Do

1636
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 2: I have a bullpen here? If Hansel Robos, Henry Mahea and.

1637
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Hilman, that is, that's a lot of runs that

1638
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: are going to be scored right there. Let me tell

1639
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 1: you closing it out, I'm actually gonna go the reliever

1640
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: route as well. This guy was actually lights out with

1641
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: the Mets when he got there In two thousand and six,

1642
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: huge part of that team was incredible, and then missed

1643
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: the two thousand and seven season because early morning in

1644
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: July thirtieth, the two thousand and six legend, he was

1645
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: hurt in a taxi cab accident in Miami, Florida. A

1646
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Nevink driver hit him, separated his shoulder, and dwan Ar

1647
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: Sanchez was never the same again. I mean, he pitched

1648
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more with the Mets, but it was

1649
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: really to no success whatsoever, and then he fizzled out

1650
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, just a few years after

1651
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: the accident. This guy was, i mean, one of the

1652
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: best set up man in the league in two thousand

1653
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: and six. He was disgusting, but he was never the

1654
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 1: same after an accident, because, of course, the Mets key

1655
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: setup man gets hurt in a car accident in Miami

1656
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: and separates his shoulder. How's that happen? How was even

1657
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: the Mets were unbelievable, Literally only the Mets good pick.

1658
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: That was a good pick.

1659
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 2: You need you can't you can't tell the story of

1660
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 2: each of our youth. So that's Sanchez being involved.

1661
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: No, he's he's a he's a huge part of it,

1662
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 1: huge part of the youth. And then I'm gonna go

1663
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different route here, and I'm

1664
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: gonna close out my relievers with a guy that is

1665
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: I believe more of a meme more so than anything.

1666
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna be our good friend day Sungku. I don't

1667
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: know if you remember the name. I remember the Korean reliever.

1668
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Uh looked really solid at times. He actually played well

1669
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: with the Mets. But if you remember, he hit a

1670
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 1: triple with the Mets, which was just crazy that one

1671
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: they let a reliever hit and two that he hit

1672
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: a triple and it was off Randy Johnson. Yeah, off

1673
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: of Randy Johnson. And then he also I believe, scored

1674
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: on like a crazy play to come home sliding in

1675
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: head first, and I think didn't he have the ball

1676
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: in his pocket or something as well with the jacket

1677
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: on the pitcher's jacket, Yeah, he had a ball in

1678
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: it or something like that, and he ended up like

1679
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: causing some like slight aggravation to an injury.

1680
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 4: Day.

1681
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: Sungku is just a guy that I will always remember

1682
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: for being, you know, this Korean relief pitcher that I

1683
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: hit a triple and did some crazy stuff on the field.

1684
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Nothing else to me, that's just someone that has to

1685
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: go on this. I would feel bad if I didn't,

1686
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: which closes out my bullpen as well.

1687
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely that was both your picks, right, Yeah, it

1688
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 2: was both my picks, all right. So here's my last

1689
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 2: two picks coming up here, and I'm gonna give my

1690
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 2: shout to my dad right now, give him his legacy pick.

1691
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 2: When I sent this to my dad, he also texted

1692
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 2: me back in less than two seconds said, Mark, and

1693
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 2: I are gonna doing a draft obscure Mets. Who's someone

1694
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 2: funny back in the day. My dad just sent me

1695
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 2: a name who I had never heard of my life.

1696
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 2: This name is Nino Espinosa. I don't even know this guy.

1697
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 2: Just eight innings, eight.

1698
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: Innings the awful, awful, awful, awful nineteen seventies Mets.

1699
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 2: Those again after the Mets made that World Series in

1700
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy three, until they start getting hot in the

1701
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 2: early eighties, they were absolutely, bar none, the worst franchise

1702
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 2: in baseball.

1703
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:47,919
Speaker 1: I was even close.

1704
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 2: And Nino Espinosa managed for two straight years or two

1705
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 2: hundred innings in nineteen seventy seven, in nineteen seventy eight,

1706
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 2: ninety seventy eight, gave up the most earned runs in

1707
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 2: baseball at one hundred and seven, which is still kind

1708
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 2: of low, kind of good for Nino. Don't hate that

1709
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 2: seven three era in nineteen seventy eight. It's shocking you

1710
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 2: even have a job. Actually, the shocking part will be

1711
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 2: not having two jobs that Moore.

1712
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a bigger thing.

1713
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 2: Your Nino did something. Also, this is a great name.

1714
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 2: Nino Espinosa tragically passed away at thirty four years old.

1715
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how.

1716
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's that stuff to hear heart attack on

1717
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, Nino. No, no, no, oh, it's terrible. I

1718
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: ho't that.

1719
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 2: I don't heart attack at thirty four. I wonder what

1720
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 2: his twenties were like.

1721
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: Probably fun.

1722
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 2: But this is my last pick of the draft. Here,

1723
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 2: Nino west Pinosa. Great addition of the squad, running up

1724
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 2: the back eats a minnings baby.

1725
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: This is my utility man.

1726
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 2: There were three choices I gave for utility men right here.

1727
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: Three.

1728
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 2: I really want to have all three of these guys

1729
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 2: in the team. One of them is a guy A

1730
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 2: loathe who's on television. One is a guy who is

1731
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 2: pretty funny on Twitter Jewish, but neither of them are

1732
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 2: my picks. I'm going with the electric Factory that is,

1733
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 2: was and will forever be.

1734
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: Giordani Valdispin. I had him listen down. Yes, the man.

1735
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 2: Who's never had the position, he never will still. I

1736
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 2: think he's out there hanging out in the Mexican League

1737
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 2: or something, hitting the pimping them and getting in fights.

1738
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 2: But what a couple months the Mets had in those

1739
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 2: early twenty tens teams when nothing was fun, nothing was cool,

1740
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 2: we had Geordani Valdespin once in a while to do

1741
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 2: something insane like over run a ground ball or not

1742
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 2: run out of ground ball, or or miss third base,

1743
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 2: to some crazy shit like that that.

1744
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Would be seen during the season, wearing a Miami Marlin's

1745
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: hat because he was just rocking a Marland's hat and

1746
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: a swag as swag. Swag as swag, you can't hate

1747
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: the game he was. I love Jordan Valdispin. Great name

1748
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: to Valdisfin. Geordani. That's that's a that's someone who's born

1749
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: to be a star.

1750
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 2: My honorwill mentions are filled with names or two or

1751
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 2: one more pick.

1752
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: I have one more pick. It's my catcher spot, and

1753
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: I am just I am so torn on where I'm

1754
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: going here. I mean the name that I always think of,

1755
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: and maybe some mess fans will relate. But I was

1756
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: originally gonna go Jason Phillips, which, if you guys remember you,

1757
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: were supposed to be the next catcher to take over

1758
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: for Piazza. But after further review, nex, yeah, he was.

1759
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: He was more of really a first baseman, and he

1760
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: left before Piazza gone. The guy I'm gonna end up

1761
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: going with is the dude who played in Piazza's last game.

1762
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: Came in for Piazza early because Piazza still had one

1763
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: more at bat left, and Willie Randolph pulled him. This

1764
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: is a little bit of an obscure pick here, but

1765
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Mike d Felise. He was on my

1766
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: first one on the list. Nice pick, Okay, all right, good,

1767
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: That doesn't make me feel as bad because I'll never forget.

1768
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: I'll never forgive Willy Randolph for this, pulling Piazza with

1769
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: one at bat left in his last game. I was there.

1770
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't missing it for the world. He's my favorite

1771
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: player of all time YEP number thirty one played catcher

1772
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: because of him. He's my guy, and he brings in

1773
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: Mike d Felice. Piazza had one more good standing ovation left,

1774
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: and I have to watch thirty eight year old Mike

1775
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: de Felice catch, which is just criminal in all aspects

1776
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 1: of the of the word. He's my catcher. That's really

1777
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 1: all I have about him. I don't know if he

1778
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: played another game with the Mets. Besides, I couldn't tell you.

1779
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: Not interesting.

1780
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 2: I remember him, I remember him hanging around for a while.

1781
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: Truly, he was only relevant for this one thing in

1782
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: my head, and that is one of the crowning moments,

1783
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: or I shouldn't say crowning moments. One of the moments

1784
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: that is in playing in my head is watching Mike

1785
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 1: Deflice catch while Mike Piazza still had the chance to

1786
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: be in New York Met That's disgusting. Imagine how fucked

1787
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 1: up your head is it that's implanted in it implanted,

1788
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 1: I might imagine. Imagine what you can put there instead.

1789
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 1: Mike Deflice lives rent free in my head. Oh my god.

1790
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's start going through some of the names

1791
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: that we don't have. So one, just go position by position. Yeah, okay,

1792
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: so I catcher. The names that I have. We'll switch

1793
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 1: off position. Who gets to go first? How about that? Okay,

1794
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: I've got Jason Phillips. I got Pat Mosica because he's

1795
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: a folk legend. I put Mesica on there too. I

1796
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: almost took him in Sea. Really yeah, Omir Santos, that's

1797
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: my exact list, Deflice, Mesica, Santos, Mackie Sasser, which is

1798
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: a guy that all the old people I believe will

1799
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:34,640
Speaker 1: throw out there.

1800
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 2: Catcher was a position I found the most trouble with,

1801
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 2: truly me too.

1802
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: That's why I went Mike de flicecause John buck two, oh,

1803
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: John Buss and Rob Rojas Yet who can forget the

1804
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 1: mid two thousand or late.

1805
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 2: Two thousands first base and that had the more of

1806
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 2: like a talented list, but all some funny guys, all

1807
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 2: the rude who people just forget. Was one of the

1808
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 2: best players in the league when he was one was

1809
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 2: underrated guys in history. Dave mcgaddon, who was just hysterically

1810
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 2: like okay for very long time in the eighties with

1811
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 2: the Mets, he had he hit like three thirty one time.

1812
01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:59,440
Speaker 2: Mike Jacob's legend.

1813
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: Of course, Doug man Kayevich got a couple of coffee

1814
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: with the Mets legend there. Yeah, Julio Franco yep.

1815
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 2: I can't forget the forty eight year old first baseman.

1816
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 2: You could do second base and short soup because I

1817
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: have not Then any guys. I had a couple more

1818
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 2: names for first base. Who had Jorge Toka, who was

1819
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: a hot Cuban prospect that the Mets had and I

1820
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 2: believe he got forty at bats with them, never did anything.

1821
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 2: And then Mike Marshall, who was a guy that they

1822
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 2: made a move for and his career basically ended as

1823
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 2: soon as he got to the Mets.

1824
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: He was never great, but his career was over second base.

1825
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: The names that didn't get mentioned for me, Carlos Bayerga

1826
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: of course had some great time with the Indians. Then

1827
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: another guy had some great times with the Indians, Roberto Alomar,

1828
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: who stunk with the Mets. Guardians. Guardians, Yeah, well.

1831
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 2: who played like eight games with the Mets, which is

1832
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 2: crazy out of nowhere. The COVID year Anderson Hernandez.

1833
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,600
Speaker 1: I had him possibly on there well, the glove that

1834
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: guy had Jeff Keppinger. Jeff Kappinger wound up hanging around

1835
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: the league for a while with the Astros. Joe mckewing

1836

1837
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: Of course, yep, third base. I believe this is gonna

1838
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 1: be where you take over. Yeah, at their base. I

1839
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: had Justin Turner. Of course.

1840
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm happy neither of us took Hi though, because it's

1841
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 2: a fucked up ty Wiggington yep, the person who kept

1842
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 2: the seat warm.

1843
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 1: For David Right. I had David Right on my list.

1844
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 1: I thought about it because it was like only the

1845
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Mets would get a again, a generational type third baseman

1846
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 1: who was on all Hall of Fame path, no doubt,

1847
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: could have been one of the best third basement of

1848
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: all time. And he gets spinalstenosis, which is just such

1849
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 1: a like rare injury disease, whatever it is, and he's

1850
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: basically crippled and can't even finish his career. Like it's unbelievable.

1851
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:26,720
Speaker 1: That's terrible to hear.

1852
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 2: I only one of the short step and the same

1853
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 2: right quick oh Markingtonia, because I knew I was taking

1854
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 2: Kaz early.

1855
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: He was my only other shortstop onll Markingtonia's name. Mike

1856
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: Bordick was the one. And then I also think of

1857
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 1: Ruben go Taie who had like six games. Wow, oh

1858
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: my god. He was a part of, I believe the

1859
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: big comeback against the Cubs when the Mets were down

1860
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: like five to nothing in the ninth inning in the

1861
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: mid two thousands at City Field. So I have like

1862
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: one hundred outfield. I just want to say some of

1863
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: these names really quickly because it'shysterical. Yeah.

1864
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, you know my guy Ryan Cordell,

1865
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 2: I almost could have just just just for that. Joe

1866
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 2: Eshwy never played the probably never played another game major

1867
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 2: League Baseball. For the week we had John Mayer Berry,

1868
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 2: Junior Aaron off Theare, Jeff Frank Corr, Norri Aoki had

1869
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 2: one hundred games with the Mets one season. Somehow, Bernard

1870
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 2: Gilkey one of the biggest disappointing Mets ever but still

1871
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 2: one of the best seasons in the Mets history. In

1872
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six, I said before Eddie Murray was in

1873
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 2: the Mets first season, Roger Sedanio, Michael kudire, A, bre

1874
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 2: You Sheffield, Cliff Floyd Ricky and Kiel Trot Nixon guy

1875
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 2: in the Mets roster, Save your Navy.

1876
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: Eric valent evena is a good one. Eric vlent I

1877
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: got George Foster, who was a perennial MVP with the Reds,

1878
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: came to the Mets and stunk Kirk newenheist. How can

1879
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 1: we forget the big homes that he hit for the

1880
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: Met Downs. Mike Baxter. Mike Baxter one of the most

1881
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: iconic catches in Met's history. Another iconic catch, Andy Chavez

1882
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: of course, of course I had them on here too.

1883
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: Jeremy Bernitz yep, Timo Perez more so known for really

1884
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: choking in the World Series than anything. Lenny Dykstra a

1885
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: good one.

1886
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 2: Benny Agbayani loved legend Byani.

1887
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: Great rookie year. What a rookie year he had. I

1888
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 1: also had Assessment has listed there because I mean, the

1889
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: boy could that's unbelievable. One Ryan Church made him fly

1890
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: across country flight with the concussion and he never played

1891
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: baseball again. Really, so I feels so bad for him.

1892
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 1: He was really good and the Mets just killed his career.

1893
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 1: We got Sinjo or Shinjo so Yoshi Sinjo, who was

1894
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: right after Eachiro came in the Mets like, let's get ours,

1895
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: and he was terrible. And then Vince Coleman, who stole

1896
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:14,560
Speaker 1: one hundred bags a year with the Cardinals in the

1897
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: eighties or seventies, whatever it was, and then came to

1898
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: the Mets and was like, I just like, I don't

1899
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: really I'm not very good anymore. How about that? Like

1900
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 1: those were my outfielders. On the pitching, Yeah, starting pitchers

1901
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: I've got, I've got five, So let me list my

1902
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:27,879
Speaker 1: five because I know you're gonna go deep.

1903
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 2: With these, much deeper in the ballpan. I only have

1904
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 2: like seven right pitches.

1905
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 1: Okay. The five starting pitchers that I didn't have get

1906
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 1: picked with Chris Benson because it wasn't his wife like

1907
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 1: or something like that. I think WWE girl, Yeah, something

1908
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: like that. Mike Hampton because he basically said, fuck New York.

1909
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: He hated being in there and he was a Met.

1910
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 1: Paul Wilson part of Generation K, Bill Pulsifer, part of

1911
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: Generation K. A Le sol Laire. I don't know if

1912
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: you remember that name, but he had a little brief

1913
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 1: stand with the Mets. And then Dice came. Matsuzaka.

1914
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 2: I had Diyce k I almost look Dice k is

1915
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:54,720
Speaker 2: my fifth guy.

1916
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was debating for me, but I

1917
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: went Pat Zachary instead. I had John Dyson, Dillon g

1918
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 1: just the innings. Either is.

1919
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:01,560
Speaker 2: When the mess prospects were coming up, we were a

1920
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 2: ton of fun. Jeremy Halfner, my boy got the jersey

1921
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 2: right over here.

01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 2: out for a day like two Cubans, Levon Hernandez and Alduke.

1926
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 2: El Duke actually was a big part of the Mets

1927
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 2: successful season in two thousand and seven. Levon just eight innings.

1928
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 2: In two thousand and nine, Philip Humber through a perfect

1929
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 2: game after the Mets trading for Jant Santana, which is

1930
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 2: just crazy. Damn my confirmation and uh Craig Swan, who

1931
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 2: was one of my dad's legacy picks era tied on

01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy eight.

1933

Speaker 1: Oo guy good Kirk Swan. Believers.

Speaker 1: ten man through ninety You've got Frank Francisco who also

1957
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: came in that offseason, and was he the one who

1958
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:35,759
Speaker 1: was talking. He was thrown at batters and Ron Darlings,

1959
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 1: like you guys are losing by eight and you suck.

1960
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: You can't do that, Like you're putting everybody else in danger,

1961
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: you said Antonio Bistardo Jose Valverde was a Met for

1962
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 1: a week, which was interesting. He got a couple of

1963
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 1: saves and then one of my favorite names of all time,

1964
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: Ambuorick's Burgos. Love it Oh. I had him on there

1965
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: too because the name yes, and then wait, there's one

1966
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: more guy. I'm really forgetting his name, but I have

1967
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: to look it up because there was like the Mets

1968
01:17:58,280 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 1: camp that they used to when you were kids, where

1969
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: you play bait at a Mets camp and at the

1970
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: end of it you get to go to a game

1971
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: once a year and get out go on the field

1972
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: with everybody from the camp. And there was one relief

1973
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: picture that said hi to me, and I forgot his name,

1974
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: so I'm doing it a disservice right now, but it

1975
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 1: was like he was of Latin descent. I'm gonna look

1976
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 1: it up real quick.

1977
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 2: I did that too, and my guy was Eric Valentz

1978
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 2: out with me for like ten minutes. Nice guy got

1979
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 2: a picture with him.

1980
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: Wan Padilla, That's who it was, Juan Padia. He had

1981
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: the glasses too, I believe. But shout out to Wan Padilla, shoutout,

1982
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: w wow, our longest episode ever. Would you think it's

1983
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: pretty good? It was pretty good. I mean, I think

1984
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna edit down a little bit, a little shorter,

1985
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: but that was fun. Also, I just want Padia had

1986
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: a one four nine era in two thousand and five,

1987
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: but that was a long one. But that was probably

1988
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: one of the more fun episodes we've done. We're trying

1989
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: to do more fun things because there's literally nothing going on,

1990
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: so we gotta make things to talk about here. Maybe
