1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Get Up, Get Up.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Hey, Welcome back to Mets fans. It has been a minute.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: It's been a while since we last spoke to you. Obviously,

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 2: some holidays have happened. Have a happy New Year. It's

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: now twenty twenty three. This is the first episode of

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: the Mets Up Podcast in the year twoenty and twenty three,

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: the official podcast of the New York Mets. A lot

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: has gone on in Mets World since we last spoke

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: to you, guys. We've been seeing the tweets, we've been

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: hearing you. First and foremost, just gonna come out and say,

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: we know there's a giant elephant in the room that

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: everyone wants to speak about, and it's we know what

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: it is. We want you to know that we acknowledge

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: that this is a thing that is happening in Mets world.

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: But obviously we are the official podcast of the New

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: York Mets, and while we don't know anything, we cannot

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: talk about anything just because stuff is not official, stuff

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: is not accurate. Whatever it is, we have to remain

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: professional as we do have an affiliation with the New

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: York Mets. But just know that as soon as we

21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: do have information on whatever this elephant in the room

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: could be. We will talk about it. But that's why

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: it's been a little radio silent from us. It's just

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: a little bit difficult to talk about things that we're

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: not allowed to talk about because of the rules and

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: how things work. But we do have a lot of

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: other things that we can talk about. Adam Otovino's back.

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: We interviewed Justin Verlander and Code I Sanga. If you

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: guys didn't see that, we'll dive into that a little

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: bit more. James mckayon got traded, We hired new coaches,

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: guys in and out. There are still things to talk

32
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: about here, and we wanted to just come back with

33
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,959

Speaker 2: got a haircut?

49
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: Honestly I did. The last time I got a haircut

50
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: is actually in September, right before we went to MLB

51
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Network that day, I got a haircut just the day before,

52
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, clean up a little bit. So this is

53
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: only one of my second haircuts since the Messed Up

54
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: podcast became affiliated with the New York Mets. Wou'd you

55
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: remember that? Remember that one viewer on YouTube who told

56
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: me I had to clean it up a little bit

57
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: with the Mets now call me the wolf Man. Well

58
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: there you go, he wins. I hope he still hope able.

59
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: To be checking the comments section to see if that

60
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: guy is chiming in and letting you know that you

61
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: now look professional and esteemed and ready. It's it's a

62
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: clean cut, James. I'll give you that. I mean I

63
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: got myself a haircut, but it never gets nearly as

64
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: long as your haircuts.

65
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: It's funny. I actually made this joke. I was in

66
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: my office yesterday for the first time also in weeks,

67
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: it's almost longer than since we the last time I've

68
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: done this podcast, and I looked around, like every single

69
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: person got a haircut. It's like the guys get haircuts.

70
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: It's like you could, yeah, take take a break, look

71
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: around a little bit, and just you know.

72
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: I went home and got my haircut. Immediately my moms like,

73
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: you want a haircut, Like, yeah, I'm home. It's the

74
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: new year. You gotta get a new cut. You gotta

75
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: look fresh. And I think that's what's happened in New Look,

76
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 2: New Year, right a rock and roll. So, like we said,

77
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: it's been a while since we last spoke to you guys.

78
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: We did have the justin Verlander and Code I Sanga

79
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: interviews come out in between now and when the actual

80
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: last full in person episode has happened, and there's a

81
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: lot to talk about. I mean, first and foremost, I

82
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: think we should probably talk about those interviews, just because

83
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: you guys didn't really get to hear our opinions about

84
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: what happened and how those days went. I mean it

85
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: was pretty sick. I that's kind of how I want

86
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: to describe it.

87
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: Is awesome.

88
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: It was, and they happened only a few days apart,

89
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: so it kind of like made it feel a little

90
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: bit more intensely because we were in that in that

91
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: press conference room, in that players locker room, doing like

92
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: when they set up our studio, like back to back.

93
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Basically it might have actually been I think it was.

94
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: I think it was maybe one day in between. Yeah,

95
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: this was this was December. December didn't feel like it

96
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: existed anymore. But it was just cool that they were

97
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: each their own like unique, unique kind of thing. So,

98
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: first of it was Sanga, which you guys hopefully go

99
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: back and listen to where he doesn't speak very much

100
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: English whatsoever, and not to make people know anything about

101
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: code Sanga. He's he himself said in the interview he

102
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: had never been to New York before he started thinking

103
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: about coming to the Mets only around October or November.

104
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: So it was a lot of kind of getting to

105
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: know each other, a lot of like kind of feeling

106
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: each other out, cracking some jokes, using we got to

107
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: use a lot of by language and verbal cues. So

108
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: I'd suggest you guys go check out the YouTube video

109
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: because that's how we kind of really got to talk

110
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: to him, because we did all the rest of it

111
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: through a translator. But he was great. He's a competitor,

112
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: he's a worker, he has an amazing sense of humor.

113
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: He's really excited to be here, and he seems he

114
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: just just seems like such like this is a term

115
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: I've heard thrown out, but it's like a baseball rat.

116
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: Like.

117
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: He loves working, he loves learning, he loves improving, he

118
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: loves adding, and that it was nice to be able

119
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: to sit down with him and feel like.

120
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: One of the things that we've spoke about on this

121
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: podcast at length is not only does he have the

122
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: stuff on the field, but we love that he wants

123
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: to get better. He was a drive line guy. He's

124
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: actively trying to throw harder and faster and have more movement.

125
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: He's constantly working. It's an amazing thing to hear from

126
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: a guy. And I have a funny story too with

127
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: the sanga interview because I have a friend shout to

128
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: my boy Wheels whose mom is like a Japanese like

129
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: graduate student teacher. She speaks fluent Japanese from Japan. She

130
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: was watching the kode I Sanga interview in Japan and

131
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: at one point he said like something in a very

132
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: specific slang or like dialect that was Japanese, that like,

133
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: She's like, most Japanese people don't even necessarily know what

134
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: that means. But basically he was saying, like, I don't

135
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: know how to say this. This is hard, and I

136
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: answer it as if I knew. I was like, I know,

137
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: I think I said like, I know, like or something

138
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: like that. She's like, does he know what he's saying?

139
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: Like that? That's unbelievable, But it was just like the

140
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: weird coincidence of somehow we could read his body language

141
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: and the way that it was working, and you just

142
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: you know when someone's feeling a certain way, and like

143
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: you said, when we were interviewing him, a lot of gesturing.

144
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: It felt like by us as well.

145
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: No, he's demonstrative, he's fun. He just seems like he's

146
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good fit in this clubhouse, in

147
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: this organization, and of course also on the field, very

148
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: excited by watching a pitch too, and then a'st forward

149
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: the day from there, and we had the Justin Verlander interview,

150
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: which is it was like it was it was a

151
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: unique situation for us because he's the most i'd probably say,

152
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: like famous person we've ever been around, like in general,

153
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: it'd been around in a way that we were actually

154
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: able to conversate with them and like have interactions with

155
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: them immediate least probably probably, I think so. Yeah, And

156
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: it was like touch and go because it was very

157
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: busy day. He had to do a lot of other

158
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: press spots. We're like, we hope we get him. We

159
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: hope you get him. Five minutes, ten minutes, for teen minutes,

160
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: whatever happens happens. And then he walked in and he's like,

161
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: it's just such a huge built dude. He's multiple Young Winner,

162
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: World Series Winner, larger than life, and he just like

163
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: sits down. We just start talking. It's just just just

164
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: talking baseball, Justin Verlander, and it kind of it just

165
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: went by and you're like, oh my god, I can't believe.

166
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: Gave major props to the name of the podcast, which

167
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: is a big tip of the Captain James over there

168
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: for coming up with the creative name mets up. He

169
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 2: was like, oh, your guy was the name of your

170
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 2: guy's podcast, and then we said it. He's like, I

171
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: like that name. That's a good name. Like I made it,

172
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: thank you very much, justin Verlander, Like didn't expect to

173
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: get compliments did from you today? The thing that really

174
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: stuck out to me, and again, if you saw the interview,

175
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be able to tell this. This is like

176
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: all a little bit behind the scenes stuff, but the

177
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: fact that like we knew we were on a time crunch,

178
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: we knew we had a flight to catch, and we

179
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: didn't feel rushed. And I think that's like a really

180
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been wrong if we felt rushed, because

181
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: he was, he was on a time crunch, and somehow

182
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: it still felt like he very much like wanted to

183
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: be there, wanted to talk with us, was happy to

184
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: be there. And I think that's really important because I mean,

185
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: it's only gonna be more and more people asking him questions.

186
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: So the fact that he was just able to handle

187
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: that and what was like a not real stressful situation

188
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: but was because I mean, you don't want to miss

189
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: your flight. I thought that was really cool. And he's

190
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: such a huge human too. I didn't realize how big he.

191
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: Was huge human and like you kind of forget that

192
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: because it's been so long ago, but when you're a

193
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: picture of this draft at the top of the draft

194
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: like that, you definitely have all of the measurables. But

195
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: it was it was just cool to like see a

196
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: different side of someone who we've watched like literally our

197
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: entire baseball lives. Like we were watching Justin very Lander

198
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: pitch and when Asai young, when we were and what

199
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: like early in high school, like twenty eleven, we were

200
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: like fourteen, fifteen, sixteen years old. This guy was on

201
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: top of the world. Like if you were the told

202
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: Bark and James and they're fifteen that you're gonna you're

203
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna make Justin Verlander laugh when you're twenty six, Like what,

204
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: how am I like yelling at him from the stands

205
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: or something. It's like twell time joke. But no, it

206
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: was It's cool to have these human interactions with someone

207
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: who is gonna be in this team, gonna be a

208
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: big part of this team, big part of this rotation.

209
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: I mean, we've now spoke to two future Hall of

210
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: Famers at least in maxers Or and Justin Verlander, which

211
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: is pretty cool. Even cooler that they play for the Mets.

212
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: That's the I think that's like even the sneaky cool part.

213
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: We got to talk to them, but we also get

214
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: to root for them now because I mean, for the while,

215
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: for most of their career, we've known them to play

216
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: against the Mets or beyond other teams. Now they're on

217
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: the New York Mets, which is really cool, great one

218
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 2: two punch alongside Senga, Bronan Kingtana. We have a lot

219
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: of you know, Carrasco, Peterson McGill. The Mets have a

220
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: plethora of starting pitching depth, which is something that me

221
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: and you have talked about a lot on this podcast.

222
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: Never never a problem to have like fifteen starting pitchers.

223
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: No one ever goes that team's got too much pitching.

224
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: Eliezer Hernandez, Joe Lukezi also will come back at some point.

225
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: Guys are gonna be swingman, Guys could fill innings. They

226
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: this front office answered, we're gonna talk about the pitching

227
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Every every single thing we've asked

228
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: them to do so far as offseason, they added bullpen

229
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: depth in diverse ways. They add as many starting pitchers

230
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: they possibly could find, veteran guys with young guys to

231
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: supplement them in it's it looks like on paper, it

232
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: looks like a plan that was really well executed, and

233
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: it's really cool to see that from Mets.

234
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: I think one thing that got a little bit lost

235
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 2: in the shuffle too with what's been going on in

236
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: Mets world is that out of, out of Vino is

237
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: also back, which is really big because how good was

238
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: he last year? How nasty was that slider is fact,

239
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: Like everything was clicking so well, and we know relievers.

240
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: Are very violatile.

241
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: It's hard to project necessarily what a guy's gonna do,

242
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: but for a guy who has performed well in New

243
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: York both with the Yankees and the Mets, I mean,

244
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: I'm really glad he's back part of this bullpen where

245
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: at one point we were like, Okay, Robertson's gonna fill

246
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: in the Ottavino role. We got out of Vino back,

247
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: like again, just a ton of good arms along with

248
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 2: Drew Smith. Yeah, it's like, it's so nice.

249
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: When we talk about relievers a lot in this podcast,

250
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: we talk about just being able to strike guys out

251
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: and not walking guys and something else. I've also been

252
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: like looking at more recently, learning more about recently reading

253
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: people talk about more recently, is about how vital ground

254
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: ball rate is, especially for relievers, because keep the ball

255
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: on the ground, it's impossible to leave the yard like

256
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: you want. You would like a ground ball every single

257
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: at bath. You could maybe next year with the shift

258
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: that'll change remains to be seen, but only through relief

259
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: pitchers in twenty twenty two at least a thirty percent

260
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: strikeout rate, a fifty percent ground ball rate, and less

261
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: than ten percent walk rate. Three relievers in the entire

262
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: game Andres Munoz. We've talked about ad Nauseum, one of

263
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: the best relievers in baseball. John Durant, who I've recently

264
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: told Mark is a freak of nature, is going to

265
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: be all last year's CISC when best relievers in baseball

266
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: will be next year. And the third guy, Adam Ali.

267
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: That's at that stuff that's sticky, and that's exactly what

268
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: we want with this bullpen. Depth depth, depth, depth, depth.

269
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: It's not sexy, it's not cool, it's not fun, but

270
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: depth is what makes these teams separate themselves from the rest.

271
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: Look at the Astros, look at the Dodgers, look at

272
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: the braves. If the teams have one recently, they all

273
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: have depth, and they all have really good teams. So

274
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: I'm glad that the Mets are built that way. Of course,

275
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: there were a little bit of subtractions from the Mets,

276
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: and I feel like this is a big one to

277
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 2: talk about, is that James McCann was traded to the

278
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 2: Baltimore Orioles. It was it was for a player to

279
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: be named later, right, I think, yeah, So we had

280
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: a James mccanntrade go to the Baltimore Orioles. Obviously we

281
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: signed Omar Nirvaiaz this offseason, we have Tomas Needo and

282
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: you have Francisco Alvarez. So now the catcher room, the

283
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: coucher outlooked or catcher outlooked this season definitely looks a

284
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: little bit more clear in our eyes, at least of

285
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: what the plan could possibly be with Narvaiaz being a lefty,

286
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: you know, being a righty, Francisco Alvarez being the young

287
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: gun with I don't want to say something to prove,

288
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: but he's still you know, he's still young, he's twenty

289
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: one or whatever. He is like that, I feel good

290
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: about what just happened there.

291
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: I think technically, since there was some shuffling of our

292
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: episodes over the last few weeks that we didn't actually

293
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: ever talk about Omar Devius on this show, you're saying

294
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: that just clued me in, so we should talk about

295
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: Omarinivius a little bit as a catcher who when he

296
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: came up, he was a guy who was an absolute

297
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: bat first catcher, and the defense was something that completely

298
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: lagged behind. Somehow, over the last three years, he's flipped

299
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: and he's become a hitter who is average, can be

300
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: above average. Last year he was below average, but the

301
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: defense has really been rejuvenated since I believe he spends

302
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: time with the Brewers in Milwaukee. He's become a very

303
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: good framer, which is something that's still gonna be very

304
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: important for the next few years because there's no indication

305
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: that's going to be an electronic strikes on anytime soon.

306
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: So you want a good framer back there. He moves well.

307
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: I think he's only thirty years old still, I want

308
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: to say, but maybe he's a little bit older. I'm

309
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: searching him right now. The thirties on Wow, I got

310
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: the most aggressive ad ever on Fangrass that was the

311
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: entire page. He is thirty years old still. And something

312
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: else that's incredibly important about Omar Nevas that's very unique

313
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: in baseball catcher landscape is that he is a left

314
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: handed hither. It's almost impossible for catcher be left handed

315
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: hither because they're all right handed throwers, and it's not

316
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: very common that people reverse like that. Just making into

317
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: my mic having him as a left handed catcher, while

318
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: you have a beautiful, wonderful defensive first catcher like Tomas

319
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: Neio who has proven he could put the ball in

320
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: play and was very clutch less, he runs his core position,

321
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: and then the opportunity they have a weapon like Francisco

322
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: Alfarez on your roster, who likely will be at some

323
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: point this year, another right handed bat who maybe there's

324
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: something to be desired behind the play at this point

325
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: is young career, but he's a guy who's definitely gonna

326
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: be able to hit immediately right when he comes to

327
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 1: the league. This is a whole nother chess piece, a

328
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: whole other way for Buck Showalter to be able to

329
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: maneuver Laate in games. If they wind up carrying all

330
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: three of these players two point five catchers. If you

331
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: will two point seventy five catchers, having that left to

332
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: you who can start against the righty's you're bring in

333
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: the left to Tomastin was much better against lefti's being

334
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: able to make that switch both guys are good on defense,

335
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: or having Narvalla's late game with a good right handed

336
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: reliever or a good right handed star the even maybe

337
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: a second or third time through the order, move them

338
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: in for Nido and don't have to worry about that.

339
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: That's a very useful, beneficial move for this organization.

340
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: And I love the idea of Francisco Alvarez being in

341
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: an emergency catcher role. Let the guy mash, let the

342
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: guy hit, if that's what the plan is going to be, because,

343
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: like you said, being able to switch those guys late

344
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: in the game is big. How many times last year

345
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: were we like, man, it would be interesting if we

346
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: could pinch it for a catcher, But it's dangerous because

347
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 2: when you only have one left on the bench, if

348
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: that guy gets hurt, who jumping deals catching the rest

349
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: of the game. We know is the emergency catcher. And

350
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: as much as we love Jeff and think he could

351
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: do anything, catching's probably not something I really want Jeffing

352
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: me to do for the New York Mets. So yeah,

353
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: I mean, Almarnervaz was someone that I think a couple

354
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: of years ago, definitely people looked at a lot differently

355
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: than they do now. But his improvement defensively and the

356
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: fact that he has shown the ability to be a

357
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: good hitter. That's there's not a lot of catchers that

358
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: do one. So being able to have done both at

359
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: points in his career, is it realistic to say he's

360
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: gonna be able to play at that level?

361
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: Again?

362
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not. Well, we're yet to see. But the

363
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: idea is that he can play at both of those

364
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: levels is really interesting. And it was just as really sneaky,

365
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: I want to say, shrewd move by the Mets. Nobody

366
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: saw that one coming, no.

367
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: And it was also just another clear indication And we

368
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: know this by now as Mets fans who pay attention

369
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: to this team for two off seasons. It really became

370
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: clear last May when the team moves on for Robinson

371
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: Cano that if there's something that they don't like internally

372
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: or they don't think is good enough where they think

373
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: they can improve upon, money is not an issue whatsoever.

374
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: And this front office proven that time and time again,

375
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: it's really comforting and really refreshing to see the team

376
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: be able to just make improvements any way, shape or

377
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: form necessary, and deal with deal with the financial costs,

378
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: and they're.

379
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I love that. I love that you

380
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: don't wanna It seems like money is not the first

381
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: thing that gets thought of. It's how can this team

382
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: be good? And that's extremely refreshing as a Mets fan

383
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: any honestly, any team, any team that you're a fan of,

384
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: when money isn't an issue. I mean, we just saw

385
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: Rafael Dever signed that three hundred million dollar contract with

386
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: the Red Sox, that extension. When money's not an issue,

387
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: you feel great as a baseball fan.

388
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Definitely, And so Wis Shames mcann the best nice guy.

389
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: Just the Yankees. Please please hold the Yankees. James mccannon,

390
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: push Addley Rushman of first base. We can have a

391
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: much more fruitful careers there with a fantasy value though,

392
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: and that's it.

393
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

394
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, unless he still catches ten fifteen games

395
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: a year twenty games year depending on your settings, actually

396
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: makes him significantly more valuable. But just like the rest

397
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: of our show, effect other news people coming into the organization.

398
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: This past week, team hired Eric Hinsky as a new

399
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: assistant hitting coach after Eric Chavez was promoted to bench

400
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: coach and Jeremy Barnes to a head hitting coach. Hinskey

401
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: longtime player, he was around the block. He was like

402
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: that classic guy who played for every team, played every position,

403
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: who everyone knew about, but he was never he was

404
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: never really never an all star type who's never very heralded.

405
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: He was with Billy Eppler and the Angels organization twenty seventeen.

406
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: Seems like a good, good baseball guy that come into

407
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: a good.

408
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Eric Hinsky, I kind of maybe this is not correct,

409
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: but I remember he was like a pinch hit king.

410
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: He was so good at pinch hitting, and it felt

411
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: like there was almost like a I don't want to

412
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: say a passing of the torch because I don't think

413
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: they crossed paths like that, but like Matt Stairs was

414
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: kind of like the elite lefty pinch hitter for a

415
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: really long time. That's what everybody knw Matt's there, and

416
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: then I feel like Eric Kinsky kind of took over

417
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: that role once Matt Stairs left, Like just big pinch

418
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: hit moments was good hitter. John was just telling us

419
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: in the chat, and I saw it on Baseball Reference too.

420
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: Erkinski won the Rookie of the Year in two thousand

421
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 2: and two with the Blue Jays, and let me tell you,

422
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: that rookie year was phenomenal. Twenty four omers, thirty eight doubles,

423
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: eighty four RBIs, and he so tole thirteen bases. So,

424
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: I mean, Erkinski was a really good hitter, a really

425
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: good player twelve years in his career, just under a

426
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 2: thousand hits for a guy again who ended up being

427
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: mostly a pinch hitter. Just good. Like like getting smart, young,

428
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: progressive thinking people in the organization that can help boost

429
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: this team up, and Rakinski seems like he's gonna be

430
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: a part of that.

431
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: And just more ball players. I mean, the team really

432
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: took to Eric Chavez last year and another another good

433
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: baseball man hundred.

434
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: Percent, and you brought talked about another guy coming in

435
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 2: offensively on the depth side, we have Danny Mendick, who

436
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: I got a feeling will probably become a fan favorite.

437
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: He's just a real scrappy player, can play a bunch

438
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 2: of different positions. Came over from the White Sox, painting

439
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 2: him about a million dollars to be like at worst,

440
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: the depth piece, you know, and it's something that the

441
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: Mets definitely need. We talk about it every every episode,

442
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: every episode. You guys probably hate it, but got twenty

443
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: six men on the roster, Every single player on this

444
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: team should have a role, should have a job, should

445
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: have an impact on the roster. And Danny Mendick is

446
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: a guy who's even further back possibly and could have

447
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: an impact on this team. So good little scrappy player

448
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: for sure.

449
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out John. He loves Mendick. This is one

450
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: of his favorite signings of the entire offseason. I wouldn't

451
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: really expect him to be the guy who was last year.

452
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: We had a one twenty five WRSC plus in two

453
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: ninety batting average that that was kind of insane. He

454
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: was running a three fifty batting average on balls and play,

455
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: which for a guy like Mendick who hits on the

456
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 1: ground decent amount and not particularly hard, that's unsustainable. But

457
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: he could play a lot of positions, and it's just

458
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: it's such a it's such a blessing that we're able

459
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: to sign a player like Danny Mendick for a million dollars.

460
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: So like being Syracuse, if we need him, there's like

461
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: the break glass case for emergency infielder, which is a beautiful, beautiful,

462
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: wonderful place to be. This is like there would have

463
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: to be what, don't say a word, Yeah, well there

464
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: there would have to be a lot of things that

465
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: happened for John's favorite player, men Dick to wind up

466
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: playing a significant amount. But just in case it needs

467
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: to be, he can at least be around the average

468
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: line of a baseball player with good defense.

469
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, no, I really like that. I guess kind

470
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: of wrap up the moves and departures and all that.

471
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: It's more of departures. Dom Smith, as we know, not

472
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: with the Mets anymore, officially signed with a new team.

473
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: That team being the Washington Nationals. So we're gonna we're

474
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: gonna see a little bit of Dom Smith in this

475
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: upcoming year. Obviously Dom's career did not end well with

476
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: the Mets in terms of performance wise, but you know,

477
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: as a players, as a guy, as just a person,

478
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: he was extremely nice. We met him the one time

479
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: when we were just getting started with the Mets, and

480
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 2: he was extremely friendly, extremely nice, and it was during

481
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: a time where he was playing really poorly, so he

482
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: had all the opportunity in the world to be like,

483
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to do this, I don't want to

484
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: talk to these guys, like I'm in a bad mood.

485
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: Guy came with a smile on his face, like you know,

486
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: it's kind of like lame and cliche, like what did

487
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 2: you do for me on the field kind of thing,

488
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: But you know, these guys are humans at the end

489
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 2: of the day, deserve to be treated like humans. And

490
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: Dom Smith was definitely one of the good guys that

491
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 2: the Mets had, so wishing the best for him. Hope

492
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: he stinks against the Mets. That's kind of the mL

493
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 2: around here. You leave the Mets, you play us, play

494
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: like crap, but the rest of the year play well,

495
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: go ahead, have a great season. But yeah, he's on

496
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: to the Washington Nationals.

497
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 4: Now James.

498
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Yep and Dom and Dom had a wonderful year in

499
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. He had an unbelievable year in twenty twenty

500
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: where he was in over that shortened COVID season. He

501
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: was one of the best power hitters in all baseball.

502
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: He ran like almost a twenty percent bower. Ray is

503
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: kind of unbelievable and as sometimes doesn't work out. It's

504
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: a it's a cool little story about just like prospect development,

505
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: that you could be such a high draft pick, crush

506
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: the minors, you fall down there, everything looks over, suddenly

507
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: you rebound, you look great again, things get bad again,

508
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: you have another shot. It's Dom's a great player, great person.

509
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: Can be interesting to see how this ends up for him.

510
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: Also that day that Mark and I did meet Dom,

511
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: that was like one of the first days we were

512
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: like around the team and organizing and doing stuff with them,

513
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: and it was it was a big handshake day for us.

514
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: It was one of the first days we're in the

515
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: production of Probably took like ten different people's hands, went

516
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: down in the field, we did a couple of short

517
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: little player interviews and we took a bunch of people's hands,

518
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: and then Dom was the last person you did and

519
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: we asked some some some dumb quick questions. We made

520
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: a TikTok. It was fun stuff, and we went in,

521
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: we went into shake Dom's hand. We were done and

522
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: he went in for the DAP and we were still

523
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: set on handshake mode and it was just the most

524
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: awkward little like hand meeting that you ever could possibly have.

525
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: I I thought about it for weeks afterwards. I felt

526
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: I felt bad that Dom Smith thought we were cool

527
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: after an a nice conversation with him.

528
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: But still, man, I that was so out of my

529
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: memory until you had just brought it up. And as

530
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: soon as you mentioned handshakes, I was like, never forget.

531
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'll never forget the awkward, awkward handshake.

532
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: And you know, we never we never got to make

533
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: good on that. It was just we Our experience with

534
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: Dom Smith ended with an awkward handshake.

535
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: So I mean, that's a that's that's basically the.

536

Speaker 2: Way the cookie crumble. Sometimes last thing a little bit

00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: So that's one of the two vacancies at a broadcast filled.

618
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys knew. The cardinal job

619
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 3: is also open right now, so I'll be I'm curious

620
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: to see where that job goes. I know that Bob

621
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 3: Costas and Joe Buck were asked to do a part

622
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 3: time gig. I don't think that's going to be happening,

623
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, a little bit of musical church.

624
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: I heard there was a there was a slight chance

625
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: that a certain man of faith could be in the running.

626
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 3: So that makes sense. And when I heard about the opening,

627
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: I immediately thought of him. I mean, Nolan Aronato and

628
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: Paul Goldschmid hit plenty of deep drives.

629
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: To left, so yeah, they do, they do.

630
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 3: It would make sense. I don't know, you know, I'm

631
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: not here to speculate on what Bally Midwest is going

632
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: to do with their uh, with their opening.

633
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure that's what our listenership really wants

634
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: to hear. Speculation on the Cardinals city big job.

635
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 3: It's a big job.

636
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: That's a big podcast. This would never speculate about anything.

637
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: This is this is a speculation.

638
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: No, speculation is not speculation podcast.

639
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: I was in college, I was lucky enough to interview

640
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: one of the best college basketball writers out there, a

641
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: man by the name John Rothstein. Yes, and John Rothstein

642
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: told me, you don't speculate on speculation. So that's that's

643
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: where I was like, this guy is different. John Rothstein

644
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: is different. As you guys know, I'm a big fan

645
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 3: of John Rothstein. But anyway, I just want to check

646
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: in and see how your guys New Year's were. Do

647
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: you have any resolutions?

648
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: Oh, h James, New.

649
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: Year absolutely never never began. I never I never had

650
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: a New Year. There is no New Year. There's no

651
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: such things a New Years.

652
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: I know that some listeners out there don't love college

653
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 3: football talk, but this was an epic college football day.

654
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. It was. It was one of the best

655
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: slates of college the best, one of the best days

656
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: of college one of the best days of football that

657
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: we've ever.

658
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 3: It was a great weekend. I mean, especially for you.

659
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: You have Ohio State blow a two touchdown lead in

660
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter after Michigan lose. You could be the

661
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 3: ones going to play TCU. You're literally a quarter away

662
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: from probably a natty.

663
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Oh that was. It was a national no matter what

664
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: happened in tcuvers Michigan, this was the national championship game.

665
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: Well it was. They thought in Michigan about the horn Frogs,

666
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: I would not be so sure. I went up. You

667
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: see mattress Mac threw down a I think a buck

668
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: five on the horn Frogs.

669
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: That guy's got such silly amounts of money, it's impressive.

670
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: I guess you didn't see that.

671
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that was. That was. I mean, I

672
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: guess we'll talk about college football now. For the last

673
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: five ten minutes of the show. I was so disgusted

674
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: by Ohio State after the Michigan game, Like going into

675
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: the play, I just I thought there was no chance.

676
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: But then suddenly as the week went on, up until

677
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: the week I like the hype video came out. I

678
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: got pretty excited. You know, the buck eye blood star

679
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: coursing through my veins again. I was like CJ. Streus,

680
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: five star recruit, why can't he do this? And then

681
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: suddenly the forty eight hours before the game, the spread

682
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: went from seven to six and a half, six and

683
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: a half to six, six to five and a half,

684
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: five and a half to five, and closed at minus

685
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 1: four and a half. And then you all the gambling

686
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: people on Twitter were saying that the sixteen largest bets

687
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: on the spread came out for the buck Eyes. All

688
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: the public money was on Georgia, but every single person

689
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: who knew what was going on and was sharp was

690
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: betting on Ohio State. And I sat there on I

691
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: had long drive on Saturday morning helping a friend move

692
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: and I called, like my friend from school, shout out

693
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: read but loyal. You used to be a loyal listener

694
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: to the show, but you know he left when we

695
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: went Hollywood, and he was like, he's he's as cynical

696
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: as me, if not more. And we were both like,

697
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: I think, I really think we can do it. And

698
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: then to get to the game to blow two separate

699
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: two possession leads to let Steads Bennett have a perfect

700
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: fourth quarter when his own head coach had him kneel

701
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: the ball after a near interception when the first half

702
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: was concluding, to run the ball on first and ten

703
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: on the thirty yard line with twenty five seconds left.

704
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: When you have a college kicker, This is not justin Tucker.

705
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: This is not the NFL for the yard field. Goals

706
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: in college football are not gimme. So this is not

707
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: something that happens very often, especially a team like Ohio

708
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: to state that you oftentimes gets to the end zone,

709
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: this was not something that you should ever be comfortable with.

710
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: And then as the clockets near midnight, I had transitioned

711
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: from a pregame with friends to a party with friends

712
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: in a place where I didn't know anybody. I was

713
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: in Providence, Rhode Island, helping a friend move just we

714
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: were just out in about. It was a Western party.

715
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: Mark knows how much I hate country music, so I

716
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: was already not comfortable. I had to go in these

717
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: people smart TV after I was assured the game would

718
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: be on, download the watch ESPN app, log into my

719
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: own credentials to it, and watch the game.

720
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: Move.

721
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: I moved with my hands the pod table. Sorry if

722
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: you they'll cut that one out away from the rooms.

723
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: Why did space in between myself and television to not

724
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: see pixels. And then it's eleven fifty nine and this

725
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: third and eight or whatever it was on the freaking

726
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: thirties four yard line and some girl behind me, a woman,

727
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: I guess I should say, she said, the ball's dropping.

728
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: We have to change her, and she I was like,

729
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: I had my hand over my heads. I couldn't even watch.

730
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't realizing going on. And I look back at

731
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: the TV and I see Ryan Seacrest stupid mug on

732
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: the television. And I look back at this woman I've

733
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: never met in my life, friend of a friend of

734
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: a friend. No, never will. I will never see her again.

735
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't even pick her out of a lineup right

736
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: now because so many things were happening that night. It

737
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: was it was active beforehand. I look at her and

738
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: I let off a profile. I'm not proud of it,

739
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a tirade. What the f for you?

740
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: Oh?

741
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: You bad? What? What the world is wrong with you?

742
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: I said, what is wrong with you? And then I

743
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: went on my phone in the rain outside and watched

744
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: the last two plays on by one full iPhone thirteen

745
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: and watched it happen the second the second line of

746
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: the field goal. I saw his face. There's no chances

747
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's ridiculous that Marvin Harrison was knocked out

748
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: a game with targeting that picked the flag and changed

749
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: the entire game. The first and goal from the one,

750
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: with the first and goal from the one, I'll have

751
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: to say dick of the benefit of some calls early.

752
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: Then the Kirby Smart fake time out in the fake punt.

753
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: That was unbelievable. I know you could call timeouts after

754
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: the balls were snapped, that's the sec usually right there.

755
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable, and after it happened, I felt this

756
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: was the biggest punch in my gut. I think I've

757
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: ever had a sports fan, maybe besides the two thousand

758
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: and six Mets, because I in my in my head,

759
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: we'd won and we already been national champions. This made

760
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: the Padre Series in my brain feel like feel like

761
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: a summertime picnic. I was laying down in a random

762
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: lawn in Providence, Rhode Island, letting the rain pour over me,

763
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: just with my phone on my chest. That called a

764
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: couple of different Ohio state friends. I got to call

765
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: my parents because I couldn't even think straight. I was

766
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: just listening to Marvin's room out loud. I walked around

767
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: the block. I had words with a garage don't the

768
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: door it was I we yeah, I didn't like what

769
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: you said. We had a square up. It was it was.

770
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: It was as bad as its gotten, as a loss

771
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: as It sounds like an episode of curbyr Enthusiasm with

772
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 2: the like the game's gonna be on, Yeah, the game

773
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: is gonna be on. You get there, the games not on.

774
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: You have to do your thing. All of a sudden

775
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: at the moment that the only moment you care about

776
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: it change his channel and you're like, oh, are you crazy?

777
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: Like I se Larry David one hundred percent with that.

778
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: It what Richard Lewis is Ohio State guy though, right, yeah,

779
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: high state graduate, class of like sixty six or something

780
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: insane like that. But yeah, I definitely didn't ingratiate myself

781
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: to all these random people at the part of the

782
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: next few hours of it, you know, I had to

783
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: do a lot of work to get back in the

784
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: good graces after after they heard me screaming like my

785
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: arm had just been chopped off on their own front lawn.

786
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: The strangers. I never knew before the night began, but yeah,

787
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: it was. It was as bad as it could possibly get.

788
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: And this, this is a plea to the NC double a,

789
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 1: the horrible, horrific organization, the rast they are. Why does

790
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: this game keep happening on New Year's Eve? This is

791
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: the third time in five playoff appearing says you know,

792
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: humble brag that Ohio.

793
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: State hasher on New Year's humble.

794
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: Oh oh win three on New Year's Eve two and

795
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: on New Year's Day? Who could can they throw us

796
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: a bone? Please?

797
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: Talking about the Utah game last year as well? Is

798
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 3: that counting that? Are you talking? No, I'm talking. I

799
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: mean I think that.

800
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we don't. We don't. We don't care

801
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: about that. The fun balls we care about.

802
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: I think if you're gonna have the New Year's Eve games,

803
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: it's gotta be earlier. You can't. You can't clash with

804
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: the time that the ball is dropping. The game didn't

805
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: start to like eight twenty years long day.

806
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: This game they were like what eight, They were like

807
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: eighty past. Ohio State might have ran the ball twelve times,

808
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: including once on their own thirty with twenty five seconds

809
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: left after they just passed for sixty yards and fifteen seconds.

810
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,959
Speaker 1: It's for some reason, but that I digress.

811
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: Breakups.

812
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: Now I know what it feels like fors other teams,

813
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: because we have a head coach doesn't know he is

814
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: he's allergic to winning football games. I'm not. I guess

815
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: I'll stop that, but he no, he's he is a loser.

816
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: He's a good coach mentally, but he's a loose.

817
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: I'm excited. I think it also didn't help too that uh,

818
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: one of our good friends, Alex, who had made a

819
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: very keen wager at the around the ten minute mark

820
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: in the second quarter, when Georgia was down two touchdowns.

821
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: I like that sprinkled a little sprinkled a little sauce

822
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: on the Georgia money line because I mean plus two

823
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: hundred for the best team in college football. Said that's

824
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: a no brainer, and then he was just giving it

825
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 2: to James at the end of the day, so me

826
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: and him, I mean, you guys will be hearing this

827
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 2: the next day, but we're we're all playing on grabbing

828
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: some food, grabbing some drinks tonight. It's gonna be interesting

829
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 2: to see the first meeting of these two after after

830
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 2: the debacle, especially because the one friend thinks James is

831
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: really mad at him.

832
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: Well, I mean from from James's story, I was saying something.

833
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: I was saying something from your story.

834
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: I I kind of feel bad, like I was rooting

835
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 3: for Ohio State early in the day and then full disclosure,

836
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 3: no I was. I mean I was giving you d

837
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 3: o H. I was asking you at the io back

838
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 3: through text through voice like I was. Then I placed

839
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 3: the parlay and I took a greasy Georgia money line

840
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,479
Speaker 3: and it is the third leg and I was about

841
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: to cash out. Actually, when they were down two touchdowns,

842
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: DraftKings was offering me like my full wager back and

843
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, screw it, go dogs.

844
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 3: And I kind of felt bad for you after the

845
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: kick was just oof, I mean oof.

846
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: Bad miss, but I close it was.

847
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't even wasn't good. It wouldn't bad.

848
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: It would have been no good time. I do wonder

849
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: that luckily would have hurt more because the second they

850
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: ran the ball, I was like, this is over. If

851
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: Stroud Wilson he would have actually gone.

852
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 3: Ran straight back. He almost took a big sack that

853
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: almost kicked it.

854
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: I know he almost did but he got out of it.

855
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: For he played one of the best games of college football.

856
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: I think any of us have actually ever seen like

857
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: he was like perfect for ninety nine percent of it

858
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: and then he made that last play. It was bad,

859
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: but to take the ball out of his hands with

860
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: twenty five seconds left on the third of the yard line,

861
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: you you had you have to be ma, do you

862
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: guys have one of the worst coaching decisions.

863
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 3: Well, he's not going anywhere, so I hope you know that.

864
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: But that's actually that's literally the worst part, because he

865
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: he played well enough to make people believe losing. In losing,

866
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: he's not a loser. This was the worst case scenario

867
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: because if he will have won, he's back, like build

868
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: a statute, we're national champions. We did it again. And

869
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: if he would have gotten crushed, he's gone. Because you

870
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: Lewis in Michigan twice in a row and you were

871
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: embarrassed by a team the as you see that you're

872
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: building your team to beat. The fact that we did

873
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: almost beat them, outplayed them entirely, should have could have

874
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: easily beat them, it means I guess we're still in

875
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: the same tier. It's just he's he is a loser.

876
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: He doesn't have he doesn't have the killer bone.

877
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 2: Couldn't beat the mailman. Stet's em benned he always delivers.

878
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 3: That's it's like my age. I think I hate him.

879
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: I hate him so much.

880
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: No one talks about this. STETSONB. Bennett played high school

881
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: football at the age of nineteen. No one talks about

882
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: that enough. He was nineteen years old playing high school football.

883
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 2: I mean, listen mets Up podcast, Bucked Up podcast, whatever

884
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: it is.

885
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 3: You know, that's this is what we're talking about, though,

886
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 3: because you know, yeah, story, yeah, we've all been through

887
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 3: those battle losses. I was gonna actually ask you, James,

888
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 3: where this lost ranks for you all time individually, because

889
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 3: this is an all timer, So number two behind behind

890
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 3: You said number.

891
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: Two, it's number I mean. The thing is like the

892
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: other the Ohio State lost in two thousand and New

893
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: Year's even twenty nineteen against Clemson might have hurt more

894
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: because there were so many obvious instances in that game

895
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: that really would have done it. Like this game, the

896
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: defense like completely blew it. They fell apart. Like I said,

897
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: one thing that couldn't happen was defenders fall down again

898
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: like the mission game and the big play happen when

899
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: defender literally fell down when Georgia had the first and

900
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: ten their own twenty down eleven. If that drive takes

901
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: four minutes instead of twenty seconds, it's entirely different half there,

902
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: like the whole quarter is different. That was ridiculous, specially

903
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: with Laythan Ransom played such a goog Like okay, relatively

904
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: the rest secondary a good game, but that Clemson game

905
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: hurt more because I hated them. I hate I still

906
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: hate that though he's a complete fraud, and the fact

907
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: that we lost that game very much because of two calls,

908
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: one that was a fumble that was overturned, the interception

909
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: after the receiver took three steps, and Nick Bosa, one

910
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: of her best players, getting called taken out for targeting

911
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: in the second core. They're just ridiculous, but that those

912
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: two are close. I think that's two thousand and six

913
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: is probably still worse, just.

914
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 3: Because that was the year.

915
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: It was the way, the way, the way, yeah, that

916
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: was the year is the way the way we got

917
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: down to that spot. Rangers twenty fourteen was also really awful.

918
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: That's that's probably finishes my Mount Rushmore. That was just

919
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: to go the overtime what three times in this series?

920
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: That was it was kind of like series that the

921
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 3: whole time and lost in five, which is.

922
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is yeah, yeah that was if the New

923
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: World series bad too, but like we were down the

924
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: whole time, So it was like whatever, Like after Game three,

925
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,120

949
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: gonna have a new New Year's resolution. But I uh,

950
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: in the apartment that I live in, there is a gym,

951
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 2: and as James knows through living with me and not

952
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: being a workout guy, I will be doing a workout

953
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 2: this uh for a little bit.

954
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: We'll see.

955
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: I got a little bit of a belly, a little bit,

956
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 2: you know, I indulge a little bit in the food

957
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 2: and such. So we're trying to shave off the belly

958
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: a little bit. I don't need to lose wait, by

959
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 2: any means. I don't think I need that, But you

960
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: were great. I shouldn't be twenty six, twenty seven years

961
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: old and having a belly, so trying to lose a

962
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 2: little weight. You're gonna walk on the treadmill a little

963
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: bit of incline. As Veto sent the workout to me,

964
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: I believe it's the TikTok Hot Girl Walk. I believe

965
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 2: it's what it's called. And listen.

966
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 3: It sounds hot girl.

967
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: Summer's coming up.

968
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 3: So you know I'm doing fifteen thirty. It's fifteen inclined,

969
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 3: five speed thirty minutes and you can't be holding on.

970
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 3: That's the thing, holding on holding.

971
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's good to know. I probably would have

972
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 2: held on. I've never been on a treadmill before.

973
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,759
