Speaker 2: We got a couple more here, but just finish up

5
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: a three game series against the Miami Marlins, to which

6
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: the Mets won. And you want to know why, because

7
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: I lost the estimate. Of course, the Mets win a

8
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: series when I lose the estimate. That's how it rolls.

9
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: And that's fine, it's good. I'll I'll take the losses

10
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: here in order for the Mets to win. A lot

11
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,680

22
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: been up to today, Judy for me, Man not that much.

23
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: Ransom Errands, beautiful weather worked out outside. We just had

24
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: trivia with the boys.

25
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: Came in third place one on a sudden death question

26
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: that knew the answer to it instantly. Off the sha Keys,

27
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: I will le Sha Keys and she signed a Columbia

28
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Records fifteen for all of the people there didn't know.

29
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: Also real name, not Alie sha Keys. Most people knew that.

30
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: Mark was shocked by that. But yeah, I couldn't believe

31
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: it. It's too easy. But I mean, hey, this is a

32
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: fun couple of days of Mets baseball. It's also fun

33
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: that we saw the Marlins in April beat them, and

34
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: then five months later they're fighting for a playoff spot

35
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: we no longer are, and we beat them again.

36
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

37
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: No, super nice, especially because the Cubs are just absolutely

38
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: scuffling right now, choking away their chance at the playoffs.

39
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: I think they're like two to eight in their last ten,

40
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: which is just abysmal going down the stretch here, and

41
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: the Marlins had a prime chance this series to beat

42
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: up on the Mets and get into a playoff spot

43
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: pretty comfortably, but they're still on the outside looking in,

44
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: and it's because of guys like Jose Budo, Joey Lukeasey.

45
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 2: I know they didn't get the win, but Joey Lucase

46
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: playing well, Code I Sanga the offense, showing up, Mark

47
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: Viento's having a big series. It was just so so nice,

48
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 2: especially because I still do hate the Marlins for what happened,

49
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: you know, in two thousand and seven, two thousand and

50
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: eight with Wes Helms and Greg Dobbs and those guys.

51
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: Never gonna lose hate for the Marlins, but feels good

52
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: to be part of the reason why they're still not

53
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: in the playoffs right now, especially because if they do

54
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, we're never gonna hear the end of

55
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: it from John.

56
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, never hear from the other from John. But also

57
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: we can have solace and the fact that they'll never

58
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: They won't be competitive in a playoff series anyway. They

59
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: just they just don't. They don't really have that kind

60
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: of team. They've been done a great job this year,

61
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: especially winning on the margins, winning a lot of close games,

62
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: but it's very clear playing against the team that they're

63
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: not exactly a team that will incite fear at anybody whatsoever.

64
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: And you can kind of feel that on Monday night

65
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: in Game one, a game that I was glued to,

66
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: and it was Jose Budo. It was all because of

67
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Jose Budo. It was just part of the fandom, and

68
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: it was part of just really trusting him and having

69
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: him in a lot of different fancy baseball playoff matchups

70
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: because I was yep, right.

71
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: Me too.

72
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: I mean, in my in the Dynasty League that I

73
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: had with my YouTube friends, I was like, I'm picking

74
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: of Jose Budo. I was like, I'm out of it,

75
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: but he's been pitching, so well, let me grab him

76
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: on the team before someone gets hip to the Jose

77
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: Buddo hype train. And then in the Dynasty League that

78
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: I'm in with you in the playoffs, fighting to make

79
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: it to the finals to go up against you, which

80
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: hopefully we can bring you guys that content maybe next week.

81
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: I was like, Jose Budo's got a two start week

82
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: and he's been great. I'm going let's ride Jose Buodo

83
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: all day. Yeah, And it was it was well worth

84
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: because Jose Budo. It just we're going to the point

85
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: where now he's actually good. Six innings on Monday, four hits,

86
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: one ear in run, one walk, and six strikeouts. Now

87
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: since he's become a star there seventeen to third innings,

88
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: twelve hits, allowed, four earned runs, five walks, nineteen strikeouts

89
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: and a two point oh wait era that's in three starts,

90
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: Like that's that's crazy, complete six inding and two of

91
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: those three like and you could just feel how important

92
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: these games are the Budo, because we talk about this

93
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: all the time, like, sure, this season hasn't gotten the

94
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: way he wanted to, but these are competitors, and these

95
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: are people playing for jobs for lifetimes of wealth.

96
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: And Budo was pitching with so much emotion. You could

97
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: feel the good in that emotion when he got out

98
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: a sixth inning after the crazy overturn jorgees Hilaire home run.

99
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: I cut this video up from a Baseball savon and

100
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: put it on a metstup tweet where it just he

101
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: got out of the inning, got through the six and

102
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: pounded his gloves. Went yeah, and he like pounded it

103
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: two more times, and I was like, oh, man, like

104
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: this guy, he wants it, and rightfully so these last

105
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: couple of years for Budo being so up and down,

106
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: changing his repertoire, developing this new slider that's been a

107
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: Galvin hazing pitch for him being not that effective most

108
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: opportunities major league level and being super effective every time

109
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: he went back down to the minor leagues. That's hard.

110
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: They'll wear in a guy like, it's really going to

111
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: test your metal to like be successful here but not

112
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: be successful here, and we can get you to jump

113
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: from that point to that point you really want to

114
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: be at. And the emotion did probably come up the

115
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: wrong way a little bit in this game. The inning

116
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: before the sixth he came up, there was a play

117
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: that Ronning Marisio probably just was in the wrong position

118
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: on a bad hop at third base. It hit the

119
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: lip and it kind of hopped up on him. And

120
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: that just comes from Maursio not really playing a lot

121
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: of third base in his life. And just to contextualize, you, guys,

122
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: how little Ronny Mariso's play at third base, even though

123
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: he's been playing there the last week or so, his

124
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: games played in the minor leagues was a four hundred

125
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: and forty to two, a short stole, fifty seven to

126
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: a second twenty six and left field, and just eleven

127
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: at third base. And if that makes sense, because the

128
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: Mets had two pre talented third base prospects ahead of him,

129
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: ahead of him, and he was playing a lot of

130
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: middland Field himself, so that may sense of seeing that

131
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: almost ninety percent of his games were at shortstop. But

132
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: he kind of got on boot on Maurisil a little bit.

133
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: You saw like a little yell, not to yell to Adam originally,

134
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: but you could just feel like the pressure. And you

135
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: know guy like Boodo that like any run he gives

136
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: up and he not getting out of that really could

137
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: change his fortunes, even doesn't change his fortunes if he

138
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: ever does become arbitration eligible, it's like thousands of dollars

139
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: out of his pocket. That's something that is real for

140
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: these guys this time of year. But still just with

141
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: an amazing.

142
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: Start, and I mean, just talk about the fact that

143
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: he's a guy who is very much like even though

144
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: I think right now, like if if you're making the

145
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: roster for next year, looking ahead like this seems like

146
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: a guy you're gonna slot in your rotation towards the

147
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: back end for sure, But I'm sure in his mind

148
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: he's like, I want to continue to prove that I'm

149
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: not only good enough to be a part of this rotation,

150
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: but I belong that I am a part of this rotation.

151
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: When you're thinking about building it for the twenty twenty

152
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: four season, it's Kodai Saanga, Jose, Kingtana, Jose, Budo, Like

153
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: those are the guy that he wants to be included

154
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: in that conversation and the way that he's pitching. I mean,

155
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: I think I said it last episode that like the

156
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: confidence level of the guys that are kind of the

157
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: rest of this rotation, the McGill, Peterson, Budo, Joey Lukezy

158
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: I was a Buddo's top of the list right now.

159
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's impressed the hell out of me. No,

160
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: everything's awesome, And like the one thing with Buddo still

161
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: we talk about every single start is like once he

162
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: does get to that like seventy eighty pitch level, his

163
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: FLOSSI does tail off a lot. He threw one pitch

164
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: over ninety three miles an hour between those two winnings

165
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: that just so happened to be his hardest pitch of

166
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: the entire game, and that was to get out of

167
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: the fifth inning, which that was pretty interesting. But even

168
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: with that, he had multiple whifs on four different pitches

169
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: four each on his fastball and his slider a lot.

170
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: He looked like he made an adjustment of his fastball.

171
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if his intentional or just some like

172
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: maybe this an issue his command in this game, something

173
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: he couldn't repeat his mechanics. But I talked to you

174
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: guys about his last start that it was all fastballs

175
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: high and change ups low and the change up at

176
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: thirteen whiffs, and the pitch really took a back seat

177
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: in this game. And the fastballs he was kind of

178
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: using more inside outside on the lower half, and they

179
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: were playing off his slider, which I told you guys

180
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: was kind of falling over itself more. This start was

181
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: a little bit sweepier, had a little bit less drop.

182
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: He actually had a little bit more sly on it.

183
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: So these maybe these are adjustments. Maybe these are just

184
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: him trying to find two where these pitches are going

185
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: to be. But each of those pitches having four whifts

186
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: and playing off each other, and he got a couple

187
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: of nice wings and misses with those two pitches, specifically

188
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: on Jazz and Horace Hilaire, especially early in the game,

189
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: and then lay there with men on base, like he

190
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: just looks like someone who's all with the under roll,

191
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: whatever that may be. In twenty twenty.

192
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: Four, the boys are vindicated from calling out Jose Buddo

193
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: way back, way back, But you're even with the Mets

194
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty one, when he was just a

195
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: lowly like who is this guy's kind of making a

196
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: little bit of noise in the minor leagues, the mess,

197
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: the boys were all over it. And never forget, never

198
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: forget how how on top of that Jose Buddo call,

199
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: we were literally.

200
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: And again it was a lot of the stuff that

201
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: he still has that made him good. It was the

202
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: fact that, like, oh, this fastball has life, it can

203
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: sit in the top of the zone, and when that

204
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: does get to ninety five, it's a real weapon, and

205
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: the changeup is good. And if you guys remember the

206
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: OGI listeners to this podcast know that we were always

207
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: like if the slider comes or curveball comes, whenever that

208
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: breaking ball does actually get developed, like this is a

209
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: guy who's a piece. And we say, you guys, a piece.

210
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: We're not talking about like he's going to be the

211
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: future ace of the rotation, Like he's yeah, yeah, Like

212
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: we talk a piece of a guy who's valuable to

213
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: major league level, and this month, watching Jose Buddo pitch

214
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: every fifth day, he is valuable to Majorgue level is

215
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: really no disputing it anymore, no, no doubt, no doubt.

216
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: He's been great.

217
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: Awesome to see him pitching that well shower Jose Budo

218
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: the other side too, Edward Cabrero was extremely effective. That

219
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: was probably one of the better starts of his career.

220
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: Someone who I have been vocally not super thrilled watching

221
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: pitch really like in the past, just because I was like,

222
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: doesn't really get any swings and misses, kind of walks,

223
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: kind of nibbles a little bit. But in this game

224
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: he looked really awesome and kind of shut down the

225
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: Mets for a good portion of the game.

226
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a fun one too, where it's kind of

227
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: the same he's like super Boudo on the other side

228
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: where it's still years and years waiting for him to

229
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: get that slider, And there was a cool pit slide

230
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: that he threw to peel lines. Because very Cabrera doesn't

231
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: really pitch like other people in baseball, where his fastball

232
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: has gas and has good life. His change up is

233
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: has gas and has good life. Yeah, exactly. He throws

234
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: the most unique change in baseball. I'm sure you guys

235
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: if you watched it, we're like, what's that ninety three

236
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: mile on hour pitch that moves like kind of similar

237
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: to his fastball, but just like a little bit less

238
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: and a little bit of different direction. That is his

239
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: change up And that was his primary pitch on Monday night,

240
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: and that pitch has life. And then he throws a

241
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: slider that's just his stuff is so crazy that I'll

242
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna say this, but it's gonna be a

243
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: little respectful, but I'm gonna explain it. Like his slider

244
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: is a spinner. It really doesn't move very much at all.

245
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: It barely drops, it doesn't really slide. And there was

246
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: a pitch that kind of went viral that he threw

247
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: the peel alonzo where it looked like a hanger right

248
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: down the middle with two strikes, and Pete just didn't

249
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: swing and just walked back to the dugout, and people

250
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: online were like, Oh, my god's ridiculous. How could hete

251
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: not I've swung at this pitch with now he went

252
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: down the middle and then shouted, pitching Ninja is just

253
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: amazing for contest, especially pitching content. He put up a

254
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: TikTok first thing the next morning, the second he was

255
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: able to get this video and do it right where

256
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: it showed the pitch he threw right before that slider

257
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: to Pete, and it was a fastball that started out

258
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: in the exact same spot and finished like on Pete's hands,

259
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: to show you the kind of natural life it had,

260
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: like rising and coming into the rivy and then exact pitch,

261
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: like in the millisecond where you thought it was going

262
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: to be that same fastball again, it just kind of

263
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: sat right there and spun out to the outside and

264
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: it was like, all right, he got me. That's like,

265
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: that's what pitching is, playing pitches off each other. Not

266
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: like if there's a pitch right down the middle, how

267
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: can you swing at it. No, you're expecting a different

268
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: movement or like your brain is telling you this different movement.

269
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: He just tonneled it really well. But he's done a

270
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: lot in the last couple of weeks too, to give

271
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: himself like some more feeling for the next couple of years.

272
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: But still just whatever he gets that breaking, well, it'll

273
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: be it and then offensive enough to win.

274
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this was offensively like a series of

275
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: Jeff and Viento's a little bit. These guys had a

276
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: good series. Jeff, I know we're gonna talk about a

277
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: little bit more in this episode.

278
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: Has been great.

279
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: Honestly, since what like the trade deadline pretty much he's

280
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: just kind of been back to that old Jeff McNeil

281
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: that was an all star perennial hitter for us, and

282
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: he's been looking great. But Viento's having a good series

283
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: and getting it started off in this game with a

284
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: little RBI single in the fifth really encouraging signs moving

285
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: forward and again off the.

286
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: Velo, off the velo for Mark. Viento's as well against

287
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: the guy who's got a little bit of little juice

288
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, right, he could have gone some wrong

289
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: stats from you know, the person who's an associated podcast

290
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: gives a stats in those of the minor leagues. Really well,

291
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: that could have just been the opposite thing. But Jeff,

292
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk about briefly because we're talking about the

293
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: enna this more and we go over Wednesday's game because

294
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: the first start of the multip hommering game like there's

295
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: a man among boys there. But yeah, we're going on

296
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: two months now, Jeff McNeil totally being back to normal.

297
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: And these stats are as of Wednesday morning, just because

298
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: that's when they populated. I know he did go oh

299
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: for four on Wednesdays, was gonna push him a little bit.

300
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: But since the trade deadline, three h four three forty

301
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: two four to seventy three slash with seven home runs

302
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: and two hundred play appearances and a one twenty WRC plus.

303
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the kind of Jeff McNeil that you

304
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: saw in like the twenty nineteen season where you're like

305
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: a little bit, a little bit of power and average, Like,

306
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: oh my god, is who is this guy?

307
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Did we just find the diamond in the rough? Yeah,

308
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: Like imagine Jeff McNeil in on a six hundred play

309
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: appearance pace for twenty homers and then three hundred average.

310
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: I got to that they would be like last year,

311
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: We're all right, this guy was a really good baseball

312
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: player that we have a bargain. But nice to see

313
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: him just like have these couple of months. He also

314
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: had the two great defensive plays on Wednesday, showing off

315
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: his arm, showing off his range like it was he

316
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: made I've say, showing off his range, like you don't

317
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: really talk about range and a ball that's not caught

318
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: in the air. Yeah, on that ball down the line

319
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: that Jashism hit, Jeff was like full extension to get

320
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: the ball in one hot before it got to the

321
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: wall and just spuning through it right to Maritio hit

322
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: the cutoff man, which is he was a little surprising

323
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: because usually he just goes right for the bag. But

324
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: it was nice to see him, just nice se him

325
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: really having some fun, enjoying himself, Like tons of high

326
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: fives for him this series, which is fun.

327
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: When Jeff's smile and Jeff's doing something right, he gets

328
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: he gets so hard on himself.

329
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: He's so down sometimes.

330
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: But when he smile and having fun, I mean you

331
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 2: can pretty much guarantee he's playing well.

332
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Totally And it's a great win on Monday again. Love

333
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: slashing the hopes of the Marlins really really, really fun.

334
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: This was part one of me killing Tanner Scott as well.

335
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, yea Mark talking the same dynast League is

336
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: talking about before Mark scoop Tanner Scott try and get

337
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: overleaf pitcher edge a little reverse hex. He's been so hot,

338
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: he's been so hot.

339
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: He had like eight saves in a row in like

340
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: ten games, and he blew this one, which was, I

341
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: mean great for the Mets, awesome for the Mets, bad

342
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: for my fantasy team. And then in game two we

343
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: obviously the Mets end up losing this one, but he

344
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: blew that game too, ended up getting to win. It

345
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: was okay, but speaking on the Mets side of things,

346
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: Joey Fuego, Joey Fuago, the chur of master. He does

347
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: it again. I mean another guy. It's like he's kind

348
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: of kind of just maybe pretty.

349
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: Good, Yeah, kind of just pretty good. I mean five

350
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: and two thirds definitely is not like missing abe this

351
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: acts are actually did miss more bats and usually it

352
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of you know, some whist but a

353
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: lot of not a lot of calls tracks, dropping a

354
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: lot of those colors. He told us about spring training

355
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: over there, got five strikeouts, five and two thirds innings,

356
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: three runs, two earns. But the error was him, like

357
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: he just drew the ball. He thought he trying to

358
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: make a play. Joe the kid's trying to make a play.

359
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: Listen, love Joey Fuego not one of his prowest moments.

360
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure a little bit of a brain fart. It

361
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: happens to the best of them, especially lefties. The lefty

362
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: pitchers seem to make these plays a little bit more

363
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: so than the righties. It's not a lefty righty thing,

364
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: but it kind of is with baseball, you guys know.

365
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: It's also just the play was to third base, and

366
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: as a lefty that his back was to third base before,

367
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: so I don't think he was fully aware of like

368
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: the defensive sets whatever. But it's still a great game.

369
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Still a great game for Joey Fuego puts some position

370
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: to win. All you can ask for two eight eight

371
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: e ra over fur The innings this year is like this,

372
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: you know, triv it up, trivit up, trivia up. Like what,

373
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: that's another guy who's under contract for next year who's

374
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: going to be in the mix. Yeah, he's definitely in

375
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: the mix.

376
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's just pitched well enough to one

377
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: hundred percent be in the mix. He uh, he's been

378
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: really good.

379
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: He's been really good. There's kind of no way around it.

380
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: It is cool again, I think I've said it a

381
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: couple of times now, but to see that he talked

382
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: about that cutter so much with us in spring training,

383
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: and it has really kind of been the difference maker

384
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 2: between his performance this year and last.

385
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Year, especially attacking right handed hitters as he talked about

386
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: as well and left he's using it against both. It's

387
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: looking nice and Marl's got a couple of run though,

388
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: just like chipping away Joey putting some balls in play.

389
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: But we had a nice, fun, rolly knighte. I think

390
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: it's tied of game. It was some some joy there

391
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: you go, like, all right, let's let's like down step

392
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: on these marlins start a little bit. Jeff had a double,

393
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: head another single, and then brand Nemo came up two

394
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: outs to run double and Kagin like you guys, don't

395
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: think these guys are still going hard, Like the emotion

396
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: in this club and that lot in that dugout and

397
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm from brand Nemo second base, like really wanted it.

398
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: Nimo is so excited after the game. He even quote

399
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: tweeted the Mets, tweeting out the highlight of his double

400
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: like he didn't really know, yeah he did, and like

401
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: this was the game never uses twitter, this is the

402
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: game that Mets would eventually lose. But he was like, yeah,

403
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: that was a great shot. Nice to out two run double.

404
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: Then I think it's high games. You're still just guys

405
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: playing a game. And four hard hit balls from Nimo

406
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: in this game. That's a fifth time this season he's

407
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: done that. It's just really shown his power to end

408
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: the year here is awesome. I feel like every hit

409
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: he's been getting recently is just an extra base hit. Yeah,

410
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: he really gets those legs moving around turned first. But

411
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: Marlins did, like I said, win this game and the

412
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: ninth ending Jake Berger walk off hit and he sneaky

413
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: might have been the best trade line at debt trade

414
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: deadline acquisition besides Markanner or Tommy famin All baseball.

415
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the fact that they gave up Jake Eater,

416
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: who I don't I don't think he's even up yet.

417
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Still, right, he's got he's a six area in double

418
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: license to trade nice.

419
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I mean that's honestly not his fault that

420
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: he got traded to the Chicago White Sox. We know

421
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: that that's a death sentence for minor league talent, so

422
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate for him. But Jake Berger, yeah, he's I mean,

423
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: he was always a barrel king. He was a barrel

424
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: King this year, even with the White Sox and their

425
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: lack of technology, but nowadays with the Marlins, who seem

426
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: to have maybe figured something out on the pro development side,

427
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: professional development, he's really unlocked. Like, oh, kind of a

428
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: sick hitter, and he's been I think, like, okay at third,

429
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: which is all you really need when you hit like him.

430
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Dude, whatever, Okay there, I don't care about that. This

431
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: is Jake Berger.

432
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 3: We're here.

433
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: We're here for the bat. And since the trade three

434
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: ten three sixty six five to twenty four triple slash

435
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: with eight homers and twenty four RBIs and twelve more

436
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: doubles in forty four games, twenty extra base hits in

437
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: forty four games, Like that's like you're on pace fora

438
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: like seventy end of the season, Like that's kind of ridiculous,

439
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: and one for WRC plus and on the whole season,

440
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: very sneaky. Thirty three home runs, one hundred and thirty

441
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: two games, like that's almost a forty home or full

442
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: season pace, super super sneaky.

443
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: Now he's having a great year. Unfortunate Mets couldn't pull

444
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: this one out there. Trivor Gotta ended up getting the loss.

445
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: In this one, But I mean it was a good game. Again,

446
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: you see the things that went on throughout this game,

447
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: there's a lot of positives to take from it, kind

448
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: of what you have to look at as you get

449
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: in the later days of September. Moving on to Game three,

450
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: Got the ace on the mound. National League Sy Young contender.

451
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: Is he the new number two guy in the cy

452
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: Young race?

453
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: You kind of might be as some stats onto that

454
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: to this, but I mean Cod, I like definitely also

455
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: another night where it's it's honestly weird. Always happens on

456
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: the road, yeahere he definitely didn't have his best ups.

457
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: Can be adjustment to look at for Cod that next year,

458
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: like his comfortability in these road trips. Maybe something that

459
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: if we interviewed for a third time something, see, I

460
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: we're comfortable enough with him, bring him back? Why why

461
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: is so much better home than on the road?

462
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 3: Man?

463
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: Let me know about that, because he did mention just

464
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: being on the roads being something he was adjusting to

465
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: in the interview. But I want to sell say routine,

466
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, like how he's getting ready for these games,

467
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: like what the differences are and his like how he

468
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: was just his preparation, but six hittings, two runs, and

469
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: that he really wasn't missing that many bats. There was

470
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: a lot of traffic, but he buried down every single time.

471
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: There was also got great defense from McNeil. We talked

472
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: about that before that fifth ending that could have maybe

473
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: knocked him out and ended up being no run scoring

474
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: and maybe just the one run a sack fire or

475
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: something like that. But stack curse here. From Mike Mayer

476
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: on Mets Twitter, Kodai is the seventh Met ever to

477
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: go fifteen straight stars from the same season, allowing three

478
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: earned runs or fewer. And Mark, we like to play

479
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: this game sometimes. I want you to try. And yes,

480
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: those other six Mets who have done that, some of

481
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: them are easy, one of them is weird. But I

482
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: think you could probably grab most of them. Johan Santana Nah, wow, Okay,

483
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: I thought he had that run two thousand and seven too,

484
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: But now Jacob de Gram, Yes, that's one. Matt Harvey Nope, Noah,

485
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: Cindergard nope. Oh okay. How about Mike Hampton?

486
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 3: No?

487
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: What about no one guy from the Hampton era?

488
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: Uh?

489
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: Was it? Out Lighter?

490
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: Yes?

491
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: Okay, out Lighter?

492
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: What are some other names I could throw out there,

493
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: pitching wise, Max Schurzer.

494
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: No, no, no, okay, I mean this super these was

495
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: like two prob. Yeah, that's a good one. He was

496
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: the whole year. That's another good one.

497
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

498
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, give me like some years on the other guys.

499
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: One old school legendary Met and another one is one

500
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: of our favorite Met memes. Jerry Kuzman. Yes, and one

501
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: more guy, this is the most fun one. John Nice,

502
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: I got it, john Nie John Nice highlights throw it

503
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: in here. It's not a legend. I love miss John Nice.

504
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, those are the seven Mets we've ever gone

505
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: fifteenth straight starts in the same season without allowing more

506
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: than three earned runs and Gosa on that list.

507
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I honestly the quietest fifteen straight starts of

508
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: thirteen herd runs in row.

509
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's since June, like it's it's becoming

510
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: a thing where like just used to it and this

511
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: guy's full season ra was it just It basically stayed

512
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: the same two nine five to two nine six, but

513
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: on the same day that Logan Web and Justine Steele

514
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: were both blown up. Justin Steele's era getting blown up

515
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: by the pirates went from two seven three to three

516
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: point zero and one start on Wednesday. So now codess

517
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: Anga stands alone with the second best run average the

518
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: National League, better than Spencer Stryder, better than Logan Web.

519
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: The only guy's better than is Blake Snell, who's gonna

520
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: be the Cy.

521
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: Young Blake Snell, who's having like a legendary second half,

522
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: legendary second half, legendary season. I mean, he's gonna win

523
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: his second side young in five years. We've talked about

524
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: it a couple times. We're like, he's gotta be like

525
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: the most dominant picture that no one respects. I mean

526
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 2: it's I mean, if you just didn't know anything about

527
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: Blake Snell, you're like you've never seen him, like seen

528
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: him walk around or stand, like, never seen his posture.

529
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: You'd be like, Oh, this guy's like a Hall of

530
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: Fame trajectory. Like he's like, I mean, this is what

531
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: he does. Y're like, whatever he is on it's crazy.

532
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: I wonder who's gonna give him that bag in the

533
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: off season. But also kind of a lesson to trust

534
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: a guy like Justin Steel and something like a Cy

535
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: Young race, because when guys are out there which without stuff,

536
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: not just seal doesn't have stuff. But it's not like

537
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: Blake Snell stuff. It's not quote I sang and stuff.

538
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: It's not Logan web stuff. It's not spout to try

539
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: this stuff like you have. You're gonna have those one

540
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: or two blowoffs like that's what knock Merrill Kelly out

541
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: of this race, and Justin Steele just like sometimes the

542
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: pirates will just see you and get knock. Yet for

543
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: seven and three, that was just gonna happen. That's why

544
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: you gotta always be a stuffist. But it's why I

545
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: love code the stuff.

546
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 2: Yep, I mean the code I Blake Snell literally the

547
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: proof of stuff over whatever. The other thing is, well,

548
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: who cares man comand sure stuff over command all day,

549
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: take it any time. That's why we tell you this.

550
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 2: We've been telling you guys this on the podcast for

551
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: years now. Stuff stuff stuff, That's why Jamis brings up

552
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: stuff plus all the time. It's quite literally the only

553
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: thing that matters and then you figure out the rest.

554
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and cooked up a crazy I sent to Mark.

555
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: It was real. It was being manic late And wait

556
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,400

557
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: oh I thought you found that. That's crazier. Oh no,

558
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: I was. I'm gonna I'm waiting to Unleisia crazy meme

559
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: for Snell and Ustriither I fixed up a little bit.

560
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to it this morning, but I feel like

561
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: the conversation kind of went away, And now they're both

562
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: scheduled to start next Monday. So I think I'm gonna

563
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: just get that one ready to go next Monday. It's

564
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: gonna that's a potential wild looking it could potential banger

565
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: or just potential like three likes, there's no one between.

566
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: We'll find out. We'll find out. We'll see you guys

567
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: are ready for that next week. Sure you guys are

568
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: following James, Yeah right. But other story in this game

569
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: Wednesday night, the Bats power surge. Man, it was all

570
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: over the place. Got to start that off with Mark

571
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: Vento's John's Boy. I know he's gonna be talking about

572
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: Vinto's neever he comes on here, if we ever let

573
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: him back on. But Markey Markey multiple home runs two

574
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: home runs in this game. He had the two battle

575
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: balls on Monday of one hundred six one hundred eight

576
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: miles an hour. He had the two home runs in

577
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: this game. They were one hundred and one and one

578
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: hundred and nine miles an hour. And the big thing

579
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: for Viana to talk to you guys a lot the

580
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: pull side power. He's been pulling the ball a little

581
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: bit more. He's got that pull rate almost to the

582
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: league average. He's I think at like thirty six and

583
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: the league average about forty one right now, which is

584
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: far cry from where he was even in the minor

585
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: leagues a year ago, which is huge, and you're kind

586
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: of in that adjusting to the league velocity. I've commed him,

587
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: this is gonna be weird to hear, but like, just

588
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: hear me out like holistically, kind of like Torkosen where

589
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: the power's massive, Like he doesn't have the same hit

590
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: tools Torklesen definitely don't have same bath to balls, but

591
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: it's still not lifting the ball as much. But once

592
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: he started pulling the ball, they're like, oh, this is

593
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: a guy who could really stick around, and Fianta's kind

594
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: of getting there and you just like, look at how

595
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: hard he hits the ball consistently, and it's just it's

596
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: among the legal eithers. And these are stats again as

597
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: of Wednesday morning, because Savant hasn't populated yet for what

598
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: happened on Wednesday night. Eighth highest average ecxs of Vlassi

599
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: in the league in ninety three point four miles an hour.

600
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: Abject Vassi's a litt dumb because you're gonna hit a

601
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: couple of dinky ground balls and play. It's gonna screw

602
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: up your sample size. But still eighth. It's still around

603
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: guys like Akunya and you know, Burger and Otani and

604
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: the guys who hit the balls as hard as they

605
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: can judge. This is one I like more average ecxs

606
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: of LOSSI and fly balls in line drives ninety seven

607
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: point seven. That's the nine league on It's on Savan's leaderboard.

608
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: Oh okay, if you go to the leaderboard, so I'll

609
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: walk you guys through how to find that. So Savanna leaderboards,

610
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: click exit velocity and barrels. You're gonna have a big,

611
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: scary looking table. It has like twelve columns in it.

612
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: The first of like the little boxes they make on it,

613
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: exit velocity. It says max average fly ball and line

614
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: drives and then ground balls. Oh okay, yeah, so fly

615
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: balls and line drives and you guys change the minimum

616
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: bad of the balls because qualifies he's not qualified he

617
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: he has one hundred rounde hundred on the year, he

618
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: now has where is he on here? Where's Marky Mark?

619
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: Marky Mark with a funky bunch? Oh yeah, he probably

620
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: passed both Patrick Wisdom and Jake Berger here to get

621
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: right behind round the kuna. Let's say the seventh seventh

622
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: highest averagegxs velosia flyaballs and line drives. Again, that's a

623
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: little bit better than just regular egxsit velosity because no

624
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: one really cares for ex loossi and ground balls, like

625
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: there's aren't advantageous boys up for the ball and play.

626
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: And we saw like labor tours at the forty three

627
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: mile an hour ground like dinky ground ball he had

628
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: today with a negative seventy three launch angle, just like

629
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: to show like how stupid those average stats are, which

630
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: is why they're a little dumb, but they still say

631
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: a picture. But also Vienzo's fifty two percent hard hit

632
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: rate this fifteenth best in the league. And the only

633
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: thing that's stopping him now now he's pulling the ball

634
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: near league average is the ground ball rate. Fifty percent

635
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: ground ball rate, that's still that's really really high. We

636
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: want to get that fly ball rate till like forty

637
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: five percent. It's like sitting in the high thirties right now.

638
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: Like if that happens, like there might be no stopping

639
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: this power.

640
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe when they come back home, we could talk

641
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: to Viento's because I love to know he's a Miami

642
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 2: kid too. I wonder if playing in Miami was something

643
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: that got him a little bit more motivated as well,

644
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: a little more jazzed up.

645
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: More comfortable, jazzed up. You catch that jazzed up, little

646
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: jazzed up Marlin's jazzis good to hear some jazz. But then, yeah,

647
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: another great thing this this game, baby hit one of

648
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: the longest home runs I met this year. And what

649
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: he pulled it? Oh, he did pull it?

650
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah up. Oh.

651
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: I also forgot to mention that the Vietna's home run

652
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: came off Uri Perez. I told you guys he was special.

653
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: He only pitched three innings, couldn't miss any bats. Only

654
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: one hard hit ball off him, though, and it was

655
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: the Viento's home run. So then at the time, Vianza's

656
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: last four home runs were Chapman, Gallon, Castillo, and you're

657
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: four of the guys the best stuff in the whole league.

658
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: So it's amazing that maybe she gotta get up for.

659
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: But the home run by Baby was mashed one hundred

660
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: and thirty miles an hour off the bat, four to four, defeet.

661
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: You saw him after the game, be like, I felt

662
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: good to get that one because they like, overall, you're

663
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna look back this year, but like this was really

664
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: trying year for Brett Baby. Yeah, still have a lot

665
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: of confidence in him. The tools are still awesome. Definitely

666
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: gonna see how this playing time shakes out next year.

667
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: I kind of love the fact that, like these three

668
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: dudes were kind of friends between him, Mauricio and Viento's

669
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: all kind of gonna be vine for similar at bats. Yeah,

670
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: just whoever takes it takes it, and that's it one

671
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: hundred percent.

672
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: I mean, Baby swings it like that. He's gonna be

673
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 2: getting plenty of at bats. Nothing to worry about. Brandimo

674
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: Homer double three hard hit balls again in this one.

675
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: And then just the little, the little fun stat, the

676
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: little nugget for you guys that you know, we're just

677
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: getting super super geeked out about Ronnie Maurisio. How many

678
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: walks today James two? Two walks for Ronnie two that's insane.

679
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: Also fun fact, lowest prime number that's from Trivia. Yes,

680
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: shout out to Trivia, shout of Trivia.

681
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: But it's so cool to see the game slung down

682
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: from Marisio this early. It's crazy. And you can also

683
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: see a lot with like with him and Viento's I

684
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: think especially that like, once you get like that like

685
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: month of playing time under your belt, you start to

686
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: really get a grasp of the major legue game. It

687
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: felt like that at the beginning of the year of

688
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: Baby as well, where he had the month last year

689
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: where he struggled, and this year, like April May like

690
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: he was really getting around on it. So it's just again,

691
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: you get these prospects up and you see them get comfortable,

692
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: you see how much an impact they can make any

693
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: given night.

694
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

695
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll go back to the conversation I had

696
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 2: with my good friend Jabari Blash. She was like, it's

697
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: really really hard to like turn it on once or

698
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: twice a week, and that was his role. He was like,

699
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 2: but when you start getting that consistent playing time every day,

700
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: he goes, that's when you're really allowed to become the

701
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: player that you know you can be. And I think

702
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: we're seeing that happen with guys like Viento's and Mauricio

703
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: right now, which is so so awesome as just another

704
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: part of this pop future core for the New York

705
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: Mets going it's next season, and like again, just the

706
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: fact that like these are now guys who are like

707
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: plug and play guys already no matter what, like off

708
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: the bench, especially guy Mauricio, who can handle a couple

709
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 2: of different positions, who's athletic, who can steal a base

710
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: late in the game if you need it. Baby, Viento's

711
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: two guys who hit each side of the play it,

712
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: who can each get get the crazy power and you

713
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: need it.

714
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: Like, there's a lot of guys on this roster. Now

715
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: you go to next year and be like, I'm excited

716
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 1: these guys will have a role.

717
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: And you know what, I think now is probably a

718
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: good time to bring in John two. Of course I

719
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: ended up losing the estimate, but we also got a

720
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: little bit of a special trip tomorrow because not only

721
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: do the metsico to Philadelphia, but the Binghamton Rumble Ponies

722
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 2: got a possible elimination game against the Summrset Patriots. Are

723
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: up one nothing, John of of course, co host of

Speaker 1: Talk about all the minor league stuff.

727
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys are going to be dropping some episodes,

728
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: hopefully after they win tomorrow or technically today when you

729
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: guys are listening.

730
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, John, how you doing? What's going on?

731
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 3: How you doing? I'm doing good.

732
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: I mean I wish you didn't bring that up, because

733
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 4: you know that it's with a heavy heart. I have

734
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 4: to announce that I'm not going to be able to

735
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: make the game, and uh, you know, it would have

736
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: been three Central Jersey guys, which is now officially a thing.

737
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: If you say it's not, I can sue you, So

738
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: don't say that.

739
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, I I've got dad stuff to do, you know, Okay,

740
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 4: it's I was telling you guys before we started recording.

741
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 4: It's the first time really that I've like had a choice,

742
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: a fork in the road if you would of like

743
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 4: do something fun that you like to do, or like

744
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 4: make the mature decision because you're now a parent and

745
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: you shouldn't be doing that. You should be home with

746
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 4: your child, making memories and bonding with your infant and

747
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 4: I mean not that it's a hard decision, but like

748
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 4: I identified that, I recognize it's good.

749
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: So it's also funny happening that you're funny. Thing you're

750
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: saying you want to do is go to a double

751
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: a postseason game with your two like twenty seven year

752
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: old colleagues.

753
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: But see, that's growth because let me tell you, John

754
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: before being a father, John's coming, John's going to the game.

755
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: He's having a little fun. We would have a blast.

756
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Wenna have blasted out you. Unfortunately, we'll miss

757
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: you there.

758
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: But this is growth.

759
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 2: This reminds me of a lot of our friend Alex

760
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: James when I think, like he like sent flowers to

761
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: someone one time and he was like, I don't know

762
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: if I should have done this. They we're like, no,

763
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: this is good, this is good. You're making the right decision.

764
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: We watch Becoming a Man. Yeah, happy to watch you

765
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: grow up in this podcast.

766
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 4: John, Well, yeah, I know, well, you know a lot

767
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 4: has gone down. But I actually I watched Game one

768
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 4: with her. She was sitting on my lap and I

769
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 4: watched the Jet Williams home run happened when she was

770
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 4: on my lap.

771
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: She she didn't make the whole game.

772
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 4: But it was it was weird because like he's circling

773
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 4: the bases, he's rounding the bases. I look down at

774
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 4: her and you know, I'm gonna raise her Mets fan.

775
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 4: That's my plan in life, obviously, as any father would do.

776
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 4: And I was just like, man like, Jet Williams is

777
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: a guy who she can possibly grow up watching. And yeah,

778
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: it was just a cool It was a cool thing.

779
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: I realized that, like Jet's nineteen, he's in Double A.

780
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 4: He's that such a great season, my daughter, you know,

781
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 4: before I know, it's going to be five years old,

782
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 4: and Jet Williams could be in his third or fourth

783
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 4: or possibly even fifth season in the major leagues. And

784
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: it's just like it was. It was a weird connection

785
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 4: between the now and the future. And that's why watching

786
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 4: these games is so exciting. There's so much talent with

787
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 4: the Rubble Ponies. Somerset Patriots also have a lot of

788
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 4: talent too. This is a great series. You guys are

789
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 4: about to see a whale of a pitching matchup in

790
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: Game two between Dom Hamill, who if you're a Mets fan,

791
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 4: you know the name, but here's another name for you.

792
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: Richard fits right right handed picture for the Yankees. Dude shoves.

793
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: Do you go by Richard or does he have a nickname.

794
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 4: I've only seen Richard, but I know that there is

795
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 4: a nickname for Richard, and uh it's you know. I

796
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 4: remember first seeing the name and I was like, hah ha,

797
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 4: and then I realized, like, wait, strikeouts in the Eastern

798
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: League this year really good.

799
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: And that Somerset rotation for the Yankees also has Drew Thorpe,

800
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: who's like, I think that has the highest whiff right

801
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: in the Eastern League and Chase Hampton top five. Oh yeah,

802
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: Thorpe's injured and Hampton, I think it's top five for

803
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: wo right in the Eastern League. Do you have my

804
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: boy Brock Salvage as well? I don't believe so.

805
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: I don't think Chase handing as well.

806
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: Developmental ess seeing now, but just a lot of excitement

807
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: that Yankees farms is. Yankee fans def't don't want to

808
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: hear that because they're so they're so agitated by what's

809
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: going on this season.

810
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: But a lot of ballplayers, not team, but the Binghamton

811
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 2: Rumble Ponies.

812
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: We talked about it.

813
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: Since the trade deadline. This team's been a bit of

814
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: a unit here. I mean, you guys have heard on

815
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: Future Flushing how well they've been playing. But Littlerew gilbertlu

816
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 2: Luis on Helicunya.

817
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: Coon you got hurt on Monday. I know, but I

818
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: mean he's he's been playing well. Yeah great, But yeah,

819
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: it's just just saying we'll get people excited. I would

820
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: love to see Louise on Hellconia. I'm not I'm not

821
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna be playing two days after getting him

822
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: the face by a pitch.

823
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: It was scary.

824
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was no update on Wednesday, so we'll wait

825
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 4: to see what the deal is with Akunya. But for

826
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: any Met fan, any Yankee fan who's disappointed, dejected by

827
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 4: the way the season went at the major league level,

828
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 4: at least this is a really fun little rivalry that's

829
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: been brilliing. These teams play a lot during the regular season.

830
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 4: It was back and forth all year, and uh, you know,

831
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 4: it's gonna kind of be a Subway Series mini style

832
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 4: at in Summerset, New Jersey Tomorrow night and Friday if necessary.

833
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 4: By the way, that'd be Blade Tidwell starting for the

834
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 4: Ponies on Fridays. So stacked rotation. And that's Tyler Stewart,

835
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: it's not even healthy right now.

836
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, we're called a throuway series to get

837
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: from you know, to get from bigger and down a Summerset.

838
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah right, you can take that highway down there. And

839
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: also like probably eighty seven, right, yeah, eighty seven, which

840
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: I think is called through it sometimes. But these are

841
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: two teams and two systems where they've probably got themselves

842
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: to being. I mean, the Yankees are known as having

843
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: good farm system last few years, even though they haven't

844
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: really converted that much to the major league level. The Mets,

845
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: with what they did the trade deadline, probably for sure

846
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: top ten system in the league, if not better when

847
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: you just consider how much close to the major's talent

848
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: they have ready to go. Right now, I'm excited to

849
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: watch this game. We didn't get to get to a

850
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: Cyclones game this year. Have been to a few last

851
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: few years each but love really like watching the minor

852
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: league guys play.

853
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: If you guys are in the New Jersey area and

854
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: you're listening to this, come out and out to Somerset.

855
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna be hanging out watching the game. Come say

856
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: what's up?

857
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: For sure? Yeah? Sorry, John?

858
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: I also just shout out Jet, Mets Minor League Player

859
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: the Year, Chrisian Scott Mets Minor League Pitcher of the Year.

860
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: Nice to two members of the Ponies.

861
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely Christian Scott started Game one filthy and incredible control.

862
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 4: But we could talk more about that later. We got

863
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 4: to talk about Mets Philly's here. I'm actually really rattling upset.

864
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be at this game now.

865
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: Shoot, he gets there.

866
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: No, I'm kidding enough, see you know. So here's the

867
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: funny thing.

868
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 4: I am taking my daughter with me on a voyage

869
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 4: is actually the first time I am going out alone

870
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 4: with her tomorrow, and.

871
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 3: I'm doing that.

872
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 4: So there's literally no chance I could pull fast one

873
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 4: and be like, you know what, I'm gonna be in

874
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 4: Marlboro tomorrow, Central Jersey.

875
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm twenty minutes away.

876
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: Screw it, I'm She's coming to summer side.

877
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: I'm doing it.

878
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 4: So there's literally no chance because it's not an option

879
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 4: because someone's got to come home and be fed. So

880
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be there. I'll be watching, though,

881
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 4: I'll be texting you guys the whole time.

882
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: Oh chat John. If people aren't going to the game tomorrow,

883
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: where can they watch it.

Speaker 4: So you can go on the MLB dot tv app

885

Speaker 4: you scroll down all the minor league games appear there.

887
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,240

Speaker 4: Definitely watch it. Jacob Wilkins Matt Levine on the call

893
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 4: for the Rumble Ponies. They do a great job in

894
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 4: the broadcast, but with incredibly informational as well. So, like

895
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 4: I said a little bit ago, if you're a dejected

896
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 4: fan and you feel like you didn't get all that

897
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 4: much out of the season, this Rumble Ponies team is

898
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 4: fun and they've got a lot of talent that was

899
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 4: there before the trade deadline as well. That's really you know,

900
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 4: it's been a collaborative effort and it's all come together.

901
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 4: They have fourteen shutouts this season. That is a lot

902
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 4: of shutouts. Like Vito and I joke a lot that

903
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: one day there's going to be a documentary made about

904
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty three Rumble Pony team that had this

905
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 4: incredible collection of pitching, just a wealth of pitching that

906
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 4: at the time like we didn't realize it was all happening,

907
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 4: And in two three years when it shows itself at

908
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 4: the major league level, people are going to look back

909
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 4: and say, Wow, that twenty twenty three Rumble Ponies team

910
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 4: was good. But it's not even just the starting rotations,

911
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 4: the bullpen arms as well, they're loaded.

912
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: It's also just the fact that it was a bit

913
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: of a trying few years for the Mets minor league teams.

914
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: They've been trying to acquire talent, develop talent down there,

915
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: and then the massive infusion of talent they got in

916
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: one shot, between Blade coming up and getting hot, Drew

917
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: Gilbert Tocuna in the trades, Jeremia Jackson the trades as well.

918
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: It's had a really hot couple months of the Rumble Ponies,

919
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: Dom Hamill coming back and being really effective, how stew

920
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: were coming up from Brooklynch. A lot happened at once

921
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: that rum Pony's team went from I don't know what

922
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: they've got, but then just becoming a unit.

923
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: And James, I know we've talked about this off podcast before,

924
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: but like you're super in on like minor league team success.

925
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: Which sounds like weird, but likings. You look at the Rays,

926
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: they win all the time in the minors, and what

927
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: do they do at the major league level? Win all

928
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: the time? Mariners too in this Oriels core that just

929
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: came up were notorious for running rough shots just through

930
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: all their minor league levels. So you can really feel

931
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: and these I think those braves teams also had when

932
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: these guys are in the minor leagues are really crushing

933
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: down there. So it's definitely I think the gwinnet Strippers

934
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: are a bit of a wagon in years past, but

935
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: you can really feel that when guys come to the

936
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: major leagues out of team like Tampa, because they're the

937
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 1: ones whore most notorious for this. They have like they're

938
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: on like a six to twenty minor league win percentage

939
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: over like a five year stretch. It's ridiculous what they

940
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: do a year and year out, and you feel that

941
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: these guys come to major leagues and they expect winning

942
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: and they're ready to do a special team like the

943
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: Rays a little different, but just because they're the Rays,

944
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: like they'll do whatever they can and win, Like those

945
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: pitchers will pitch in any role. Those hitters will play

946
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: a different position just because they have to know someone

947
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: needs in there for an ending. Like when you're ready

948
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: to win, you're ready to win. And I like that

949
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: this Mets, this new Mets core in the minor leagues

950
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: are like, we're God, We're ready to win.

951
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 4: But another great thing beyond that is that a lot

952
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 4: of the talent, like Wander Suarez, who's made a name

953
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 4: for himself, was the back to back Eastern League pictuer

954
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 4: of the Week after his promotion from Brooklyn. Literally two

955
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 4: starts didn't allow a hit in either of them. You

956
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 4: threw the seven inning no hitter a couple of weeks ago.

957
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 4: All the talent that there is in Brooklyn, there's a

958
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 4: lot more with the Perl Mets, with the FCL Mets,

959
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 4: and with the Brooklyn Cyclones.

960
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: So there's a lot more coming.

961
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 4: Jordane Evins, here is another pitcher who was promoted from

962
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 4: PSL up to Brooklyn. When guys like Christian Stewart, All right,

963
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: excuse me, Christian Scott Tyler Stewart were promoted up to Binghamton.

964
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 4: And it's been replenished, and there's there's just a pipeline

965
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 4: right now. So there's a lot to be excited about.

966
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 4: As we've said a few times here.

967
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: And we've heard Steve talk about when he's like talk

968
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: to the fantasy here. This is really the first year

969
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: of the of the lab and you can kind of

970
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: already start to feel the fruits of this lab like

971
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: being done. We shouted out the Tim Healy piece from

972
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: about a month ago where Blake Tidwell said every pitch

973
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: is different now. Yeah, like from when I came to

974
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: this team, like the fastball kept the same, and that's

975
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: like a lot of what fastball research says, like just

976
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: throw your fastball, but every other pitch is new now.

977
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: And that's something that's really cool to see these guys

978
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: take to this so quickly.

979
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 4: Well, it's all going good right now for the rumble Ponies,

980
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 4: and I mean the Mets are playing some good ball too.

981
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 3: The starting rotation.

982
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 4: I told you guys last time we spoke that, Yeah,

983
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 4: they had a two to one four at the time

984
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: and they just keep rolling. So I don't want anyone

985
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 4: think I'm a Marlins fan here, because that's that's not

986
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 4: the truth at all.

987
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why you go you're they are You're Marlins, though,

988
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: I mean they are John's Marlins, my Marlins, in the.

989
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 4: Fact that, like, yeah, I identified them as a team

990
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 4: that was probably sliding under the radar. And you know,

991
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 4: if I were to if someone would say, hey, you know,

992
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 4: what's a what's a team you like to maybe exceed

993
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 4: the expected win total this season, well I was gonna

994
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: say that Miami Marlins early in the season. And so,

995
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys have some like just crazy disdain

996
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 4: for the Marlins. I getto seven was I mean kind

997
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 4: of their faults, but like that was a long different ownership,

998
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 4: like different area.

999
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I don't really have disdain for the Marlins.

1000
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: I just I think they're winning a lot with like

1001
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: some unsustainable stuff, mainly like their record of one run

1002
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: games and the fact that they just have a bunch

1003
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: of scrap heap believers who've gotten a lot out of

1004
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: which is really cool. And then just the fact that

1005
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: Jake Berger and Horace Hilaire are gonna combine for almost

1006
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: seventy home runs in a major League baseball season, Like

1007
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: that's really great stuff. But they're just team then still

1008
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: is like no confidence. We also have a little bit

1009
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: of a version to the Marlins because our friend Ernie

1010
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: was a Marlins fan forever, sad to become Mets fans

1011
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: just to be better friends, I don't even know, just

1012
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: hang out with us more. And he just he killed

1013
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: the Mets and the Marlins got good. So it's a lot

1014
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: of his faults. Love you, Ernie, hate you for that though.

1015
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan VR Love Jonathan VR, tweet him by Johnson VR up,

1016
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 1: tip up the score.

1017
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: I feel like it'd be fun to see the Marlins

1018
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 4: make the playoffs only because we saw that ballpark. Well okay,

1019
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 4: I get that, Like, yes, from a competitive standpoint, maybe

1020
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 4: you'd rather see the Cincinnati Rads or America understand, we

1021
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 4: saw what happened to the World Baseball Classic in Miami.

1022
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 4: There has never been a playoff game played at that stadium.

1023
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 4: When they made the playoffs in twenty twenty, they went

1024
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 4: to Chicago for the whatever series that was that first round,

1025
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 4: and then they went to Houston. That was the site

1026
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 4: they were at, so they've never played there.

1027
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: The same thing will happen this year because they'll be

1028
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: playing the wildcard round as as the lower seed, and

1029
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: then they're going to lose, so they still won't get the

1030
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: home game. And the other thing about the Marlins unpacking

1031
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: that house is that they are not Venezuela. They are

1032
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:48,919
Speaker 1: not to make a republic. They are not for the Rico.

1033
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: That's the key. They are not going to pack the

1034
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: stadium in the same way they were able to win

1035
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic. Not even Israel, John.

1036
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 3: Not even Israel. They were Miami. Well, I agree to

1037
00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 3: a certain extent.

1038
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 4: I mean, we saw it happen with the Florida Panthers

1039
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 4: last year in the Stanley Cup Finals.

1040
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: That's that's also only twenty thousand people in the city.

1041
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: They're all they were also.

1042
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 3: Seven Miamis only we went.

1043
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 2: It's a small Also, we went to the Heat Knicks

1044
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 2: game game six, and they didn't even come close to

1045
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 2: selling out that And they think the Heat I think

1046
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: they're just bad sports fans. Honestly, I like, I don't

1047
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: think Miami. I think the people who are fans are

1048
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 2: good fans, But I think the city is not a good.

1049
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: Sports fan city.

1050
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 4: Of course, it's transient market. That's just the way it is.

1051
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 4: Like everyone's a Mets Yankee fan.

1052
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 1: There s a T word. I just play it together.

1053
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: More is because what is John got his start of course,

1054
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: this is John's first organizations. John came up as a

1055
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: rookie with the Marlins. It has you're trying to learn

1056
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: how the John.

1057
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has nothing to do with that at all.

1058
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 3: I got a.

1059
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: Little infinity for the team who once loved once, once

1060
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: he called, once called home.

1061
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 4: It was a very different it was a very different

1062
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 4: land although Marlins. But you know, so I was there

1063
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 4: for like three months. Maybe they didn't make it the

1064
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 4: opening day. Left the job before opening day rolled around.

1065
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 4: So that was my home office for three months like that.

1066
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 4: I worked out of there. I've never seen a game there.

1067
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 4: I've never seen a game.

1068
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: You worked the off season for the Marlins.

1069
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1070
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 4: I got hired in like after college winter meetings started

1071
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 4: in early started January sixth, and then I didn't make

1072
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 4: it the opening day I had.

1073
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: Last That's crazy how much you love that day?

1074
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 3: What what day? Opening day?

1075
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: No, the day in the first week of January. But

1076
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: it's a game there. Yeah, John, It's a really important

1077
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: day for John.

1078
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 3: All right. The estimate.

1079
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Matt's Phillies two more series left this year.

1080
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 4: The Mets and Phillies actually closed the season out together

1081
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 4: a week from this weekend. By the way, huge college

1082
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 4: football slate. I am so Oregon. Oh you guys don't

1083
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 4: even know. I know, we can't tell college football. The

1084
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 4: YouTube comments get murky, but yeah, no.

1085
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 3: For sure.

1086
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: We played this game last time. Do you guys remember

1087
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: the last time the Mets played the Phillies the date June?

1088
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they swept them. They swept them May thirtieth

1089
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 3: to now.

1090
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: I played one series them after that. I don't know

1091
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: what mark Mark was close. I mean, I can't believe

1092
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: you guys don't remember, because the last game of that

1093
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: series was probably low points entire season.

1094
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 3: For our guys. Oh yeah, they blew it.

1095
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah that Sunday yep, yep, yeah, that's probably

1096
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: why I'm trying to forget.

1097
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you were also in England, that's true.

1098
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, the Friday game was Apple Singer pitch Yeah

1099
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 4: come back, Yeah, yes it was, Yes, it was anyway,

1100
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 4: So it's been a long time and I don't think

1101
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 4: we've done this one before, and I feel like it's

1102
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: kind of low hanging fruit with the Phillies all have

1103
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 4: to think of something better for the last series. But

1104
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 4: Nick Castios, of course, had a huge outfield assist.

1105
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: Today amazing spinner.

1106
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah for a guy who doesn't play. No, it's cool,

1107
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 3: was it?

1108
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: He said that. In my head I was running up

1109
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: to it being like drop it, drop it, drop up.

1110
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: Then the last second something told me go make.

1111
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 3: The play.

1112
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: And he did it, full spin three sixty and can

1113
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: maybe but dart to home plate. And John Kruck on

1114
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: the Phillies broadcast, I even though he did Phillies games,

1115
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: it was one of the better calls I've heard because

1116
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 1: as the color guy whoever the Phillies played by play

1117
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: guy was like and it was like actually calling the

1118
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: play and John Cruck's going drop no, no, no, yes,

1119
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: good throw yes.

1120
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 4: Tom McCarthy on Phillies TV, son of or dad of

1121
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 4: Pat McCarthy and that's radio.

1122
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: Oh good, didn't put that together? Wow, okay, nice one.

1123
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes yeah.

1124
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 4: Castians For a dude that's known as a bad outfielder,

1125
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 4: he comes up with some big plays. He made some

1126
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 4: huge catches in the World Series. He did I don't

1127
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 4: know anyway, deep drives to the left, right right, think

1128
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 4: of Nick Castianos. You gotta think of hitting the battle

1129
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 4: left field, am I right? Pull side power, pull side power.

1130
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 4: Oh that reminds me By the way, Mark Fiento's his

1131
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 4: last seventeen games three oh six, three forty eight, five

1132
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 4: eighty one slug five home runs.

1133
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 3: That's nice.

1134
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: We talk about not Mark Fianzo's for twelve minutes. I say,

1135
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: here comes John, talk about Mark Viento's. Then he dropped

1136
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: good podcasting.

1137
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: The pul side power just jogged my memory anyway.

1138
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: So cas was also a guy when he came up.

1139
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: He didn't have the pul side power. Couldn't He couldn't

1140
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: find that. Now now we found it.

1141
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 4: They still Jade Martinez as well, also a Southern Florida boy,

1142
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 4: just like Mark Viento's.

1143
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: Pulid power Nova Southeastern. I believe that's right.

1144
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, I just want you guys to tell me

1145
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 4: how many times Nick Casianos hits the ball in the

1146
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 4: art of left field during the series. By the way,

1147
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 4: Lui Rice didn't swing and miss once. Yeah, played one

1148
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 4: Gag didn't swing and miss.

1149
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: So coward. I'm also now guaranteed least a tie in

1150
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: the estimate. It'd be kind of funny again. I don't

1151
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: know what we do again, but one more win from

1152

1153
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: opening day, I mean, it's just gonna happen. I think, yeah,

1154
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: something something.

1155
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we might have to change up the tuxedo

1156
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: because I wore one this year and we know things.

1157
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: Then go, that's actually true, No Texio next year. Yeah

1158
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: we might. We're gonna change it up, but it will

1159
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: be people have to Maybe you do the full kid.

1160
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,640

1173
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: Should have said three and a half. No half numbers,

1174
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: no hooks.

1175
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,800

1181
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: quickly talk about the Phillies here. I mean we've yeah,

1182
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: John took up all our time. That was the first

1183
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 2: John Ryan.

1184
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: The hour in a while. You know what, It's good.

1185
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 2: That's what he gets. That's what he gets for being

1186
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 2: a good father and making the right decisions to this

1187
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: is our reward. This is like when you like give

1188
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 2: a dog a treat for sitting. It's like we let

1189
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 2: John and talk about it. We've only gotten John like

1190
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 2: what two of the last six episodes. So yeah, the

1191
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 2: people might want some John, or they might really not

1192
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 2: want some John. We're gonna find out when the YouTube come.

1193
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: Much of this episode. But series against the Phillies. Again,

1194
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: we haven't seen this team in three entire months, so

1195
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: some things might be a little different. The main thing

1196
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: that's a little different is that Trey Turner, Kyles s Warburn,

1197
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: and Bryce Harper once again maybe the best one two

1198
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: three in any line up in baseball.

1199
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trey Turner completely back all the hate the Phillies

1200
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 2: fans to their credit them the lobsters that they are,

1201
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 2: They really stepped up to the plate on this one.

1202
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: The radio hosts.

1203
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: I think said the cheer trade turner, try and dose

1204
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: some positive reinforcement, to which they did, and he has

1205
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: been phenomenal since then. Bryce Harper, it seems like it's

1206
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: about a year that it takes to recover from Tommy

1207
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 2: John and get your job. Attack Johnny Ton Tommy John

1208
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: when you get your surgery, because in the last month

1209
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: he's been pretty incredible. He's completely back to being one

1210
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: of the best hitters in all of Major League Baseball.

1211
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber's got forty five home runs and hitting one

1212
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 2: ninety with a three fifty on base percentage. Because what

1213
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 2: that like, he's a fake person, He's not even real.

1214
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: What is interesting, though, it's on the pitching side. I

1215
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 2: feel like they've been scuffling a little bit. Their pitching

1216
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: hasn't been that strong, especially Michael Lorenzen, who has been

1217
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 2: atrocious since the no hitter.

1218
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,240
Speaker 1: He's been bad. Even spoke about I don't know what's happening.

1219
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you pitched out no hither you lose some stuff. Also,

1220
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: I do want to shout out Schwarber because since August sixth,

1221
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: he's actually hitting two sixty and since August eighteen is

1222
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: in two seventy, with well one eighty five and one

1223
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: ninety six WRC plus from those two arbitrary dates. He is,

1224
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: He's Vante. He's a little scary. Four to thirty on

1225
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: base percentage since August eighteenth, a month of games. What

1226
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: are pitching matchups for this series? Pitching matchups in this

1227
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: series will be David Peterson versus Ranger Suarez, who's also

1228
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: scuffling on Thursday night for UH for the Phillies and

1229
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: then Friday Apple TV, and also a little bonus can

1230
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: get a little two for five people. Another episode's going

1231
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: to be coming out later today on Thursday. If you

1232
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: guys listening in the morning, scheduled for some time the afternoon,

1233
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: I believe two o'clock, so you can either take it

1234
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: for your right home from work or you could say

1235
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,959
Speaker 1: it for Friday morning. Alex Faust, the Apple TV play

1236
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: by play announceder a really really nice guy, really fun interview,

1237
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: very strange start and broadcast and cool here his perspective

1238
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: on how he got to where he got to in sports.

1239
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: But that game will be Tyler McGill versus Taiwan Walker,

1240
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: who has one hundred percent steadied this Phillies rotation over

1241
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: the like the last couple of months of the year.

1242
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: He had a really bad April, and he's just completely

1243
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: rounded into form. He's one off the league leader than Wins,

1244
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: which we're not a Wins podcast, but really interesting to

1245
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: say that. Nonetheless, and then Saturday four or five, great

1246
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: time for a game on Saturday, specially a great time.

1247
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: It was a big football game on at seven Jose

1248
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: Kntana versus Zach Wheeler. And then Sunday Matt and A

1249
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: Jose boulovers Christopher Sanchez, two young pitchers who've kind of

1250
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: been up and down who are both getting amazing results.

1251
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: Sanchez has sneaky been kind of good recently. Really interesting.

1252
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 2: You know that he's been in long relief roles before

1253
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: against the Mets, and I think was okay, although I

1254
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 2: think we applauded Joe Girardi thank you for bringing him

1255
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 2: in the past, but that.

1256
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: Was always well, he has been pretty bad in the past.

1257
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: But Sanchez is kind of doing what kind of a

1258
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: ranger Suarez did a few years ago, where he doesn't

1259
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: really throw hard. He's a lefty too, kind of just

1260
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: mixes it up. Lots of sinkers, lots of change ups.

1261
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: Now some SLYI there's more change ups this year than

1262
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: years pass been the pitch has made a big difference

1263
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: for him. That changeup has a forty percent with rate,

1264
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: and he went from throwing it last year twenty percent

1265
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: of the time year before twenty percent of the time

1266
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: now thirty two percent of the time. That's been big

1267
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: justin for him, and he just pounds the strikeson. He

1268
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: does not let you get a free pass against him.

1269
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: One of Lowe's walk rates in all of baseball four percent.

1270
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: So he's a guy who what nope, you go, finisher sentence,

1271
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: I was gonna say four percent. Walker wrote with a

1272
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent ground ball rate and one of the

1273
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: highest chase rates against in the league. So well, he

1274
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: doesn't really get a lot of the wefts, not a

1275
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: lot of strikeouts. He gets guys to swing at those

1276
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: shadow pitches, those sliders, those sinkers, those change ups and

1277
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: beat them into the ground and do nothing good with them.

1278
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 2: Think someone to keep an eye out for two is

1279
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: a Johann Rojas, who I think the last like week

1280
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: or so has been scalding hot, and is Loki putting

1281
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 2: up a decent little rookie season for himself. Fantastic in

1282
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 2: center field. The Phillies actually might have found a center

1283
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: fielder for the first time in like ten years, which

1284
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: is kind of wild.

1285
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, besides the bad person before that, And did you

1286
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: know do you know why Johan ro has caught fired?

1287
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: Did you see this one? Yeah?

1288
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 2: I saw the crazy headline that I'm sure we can't

1289
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 2: repeat on the podcast. But basically, Nick Casteanos has been

1290
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 2: getting him to unbutton his shirt and play with a

1291
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 2: little more swagging confidence and it's.

1292
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: Completely challenged him. Yeah, so he's not ready the rock.

1293
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: And last time he played this team, Brandon Marsh was

1294
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: a world beither he's just kind of going back to

1295
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: being Brandon Marsh. Still still definitely a worthwhile move for them, Like,

1296
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: he's definitely an upgrade there because the guy that trades

1297
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: for him is.

1298
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 3: Like, come on, but.

1299
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: I think that might have been a hoppy too in

1300
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: that trade though, So not all the way. He's a

1301
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: really good ball player, but yeah, Stot's's been a monster

1302
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: in the field. He's making some great play second base.

1303
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: Alec Bohm has just become a good ballplayer, which is

1304
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: again we talked about last time. It's kind of a

1305
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: kind of a way to show you guys how precipitous

1306
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: development can be. Especially look at the guy like Brett Baby.

1307
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: Stott had a year who's thirty percent worse league average

1308
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: and a bout league average right now is like ten

1309
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,439
Speaker 1: percent bett in league gaverage. And he's kind of finding

1310
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: out how to play defense a little bit, like not

1311
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: really move from short to second. That's a huge part

1312
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: of it too. Talking about Boom, Oh you said Stott

1313
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: just now? Oh my bad, I always get thing confused.

1314
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: It kind of befair.

1315
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: Bom is playing first s base, so I mean that's

1316
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: a lot easier too when he plays sometimes lose, losing

1317
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: Re's hoskins for the year, but yeah, just sometimes takes

1318
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: these prospects a few years to really get that. And

1319
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 2: Bom doesn't hit the ball nearly as hard as Bret Baby, so,

1320
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 2: but he does have ninety RBIs, which is insane. Yeah,

1321
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, the Phillies are gonna make the playoffs,

1322
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 2: and they probably are our best chance to beat the Braves,

1323
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 2: if we're gonna be completely honest. Yeah, so my hatred

1324
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 2: for them runs as deep as they can knock out

1325
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 2: the Braves.

1326
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: But I would love to be them. I still love

1327
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: to smack him around this series and make it make

1328
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 1: the Philly fans sweat a little bit. We'll we'll leave

1329
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: with this because it's been a bit of a long

1330
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: episode anyway, which kind of is our first time going

1331
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: over fifty minutes in a minute here. But do you yeah,

1332
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: it's okay? Do you not many cuts? It's a clean episode.

1333
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: Do you hate the Phillies more than the Braves? No, No,

1334
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: there's not. I don't hate the Phillies. It's it's hard,

1335
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: it's impossible.

1336
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: I think, like because like Philly fans, I have more

1337
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 2: of a hatred for the city of Philadelphia, I think

1338
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 2: than Atlanta. But Braves fans are a million times worse

1339
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: than Phillies fans, especially on social media. Like my god,

1340
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 2: for we went to the game for a fan base

1341
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: that doesn't even show up to watch their own team.

1342
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 2: It's incredible how vocal they are. They're kind of like

1343
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 2: Chargers fans. Chargers fans like to talk so much trash

1344
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 2: on social media. Then you go and look at their games, like, oh,

1345
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 2: there's fifteen thousand people there, there's nobody.

1346
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: They'll live in San Diego. They have an excuse. I

1347
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: kind of feel bad for the Charger fans. I don't

1348
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: feel bad for them too. No, Jawn Comber's overrated. Quacom

1349
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: was a place. Qualcomm was an institution, and I mean it,

1350
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: it does kind of stink that. I mean, how would

1351
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: you feel if you lost your team? You've got to

1352
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: cry Let's second braves fans bravestands way worse. I just

1353
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: have a disdain towards the city of Philadelphia. I guess

1354
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: that's fair kind of, but Philly Philly's bullpen. Also, it's

1355
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: like kind of taking a little half a step back here.

1356
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: Gregorisso though, is not the really that got the great

1357
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: results much happy about that one.

1358
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna plant my flag on that one because oil

1359
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 2: Boy was I super singing.

1360
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: How Like, who cares that you got this guy? Sir

1361
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: Anthony is not twenty twenty two playoffs, Sir Anthony. Craig

1362
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: Kimbrel is everything. It's a journey every time he's out there.

1363
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: Josey Alvarado has not been the best reliever in baseball

1364
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: like he was for the first month of the year.

1365
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: Mastrom is kind of fun, I kind of. I still

1366
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: like Master throws a lot at you, but it's not

1367
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: exactly like the most elite you're ever gonna find. Let's

1368
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just let's ruin somebody's weekend, right, why not?

1369
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1370
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: I really love for Joe from Langhorn, Pennsylvania to put

1371
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 2: a hole in his wall this weekend because the Mets

1372
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 2: take three or four from the Phillies.

1373
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: That'd be great to see a viral trend that's happening

1374
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: one of the one of the Philly pizzerias where they're

1375
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: they're wrapping cheese, steaks and pizzas. If I could eat glue,

1376
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: I would eat that.

1377
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 2: If I could eat cheese, i'd eat that too.

1378
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: That sounds so bad, it's good. Yeah, my algorithm's a

1379
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: lot of food stuff. And I was like, whoa. I said,

1380
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: somebody's not for America And they said they said if

1381
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,920
