Speaker 1: back to episode number ninety seven of the Mets Up Podcast,

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: presented by The Seven Line. We just wrapped up a beautiful,

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: glorious series sweep against those bums, the Washington Nationals. They

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: were awful, they were terrible, and we absolutely dominated so

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: well of the few times we've been able to say that,

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: like from first pitch to last pitch, absolute domination. The

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Mets just proved They're a significantly better team than those

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: lowly Washington Nationals. It really wasn't competitive at all. There's

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: a lot of things to talk about in this series,

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: a lot of great stuff. So we're gonna be really

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: really high on the mets here going into our big

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: California road trip with the Dodgers, Padres, and Angels. So

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: if you guys are enjoying everything, you're listening to, everything

30

Speaker 1: up Podcast. Probably won't be a video. I'm currently in Burlington,

31
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: North Carolina, actually technically Graham, North Carolina, and the quality

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: suites in Internet is horrendous, so I just it's laggy.

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll be able to get a

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: video out for this. We'll see how it goes. If

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,480

Speaker 1: you listen, drop us a rating, drop us view really

37
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: does help us out. Here we go, let's bring in James. James,

38
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: how we doing good?

39
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: Man good just coming off a nice little watch session

40
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: for the Rangers game. Since we last talked, the Rangers

41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: advanced a whole series. Big news.

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Dude, what an absolute route tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: I was told we can't beat the Tampa Bay Lightning.

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: I was told the Rangers can only score against backup goalies.

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: But apparently that's just simply not true.

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: Yes, smacked around one of the best teams in the league.

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: The Mets are playing well, the Rangers are playing well.

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: It's a good time to be a New York sports fan.

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: And also, I know I mentioned I'm in North Carolina.

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Shout out too, and I'm so sorry I forgot your name.

51
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: It is twelve thirty at night. I am exhausted. I

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: just played five innings of baseball, which doesn't sound like

53
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: a lot, but we played against college athletes who are

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: playing in a affiliated Major league Baseball league. So I'm gassed.

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: But shout to him in North Carolina. You know who

56
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: you are. We were in Burlington, a big shout to you.

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Came out and was like, Hey, I love the podcast.

58
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: I saw you coming out here. Had to come out

59
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: and support and say what's up. He also said to

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: make sure say what's up to you James as well.

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, thanks man, nameless faceless figure.

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: I know he had a daughter. I'll give that much information.

63
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about game one though. Game one, we had

64
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: David Peterson on the mound, and honestly, it didn't start

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: particularly great. Three runs in the first sitting, and I went, oh, man, David,

66
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: this is not what we need against the lowly, lowly

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals.

68
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: No, when you were a little scared after a Sunday

69
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: night game against the Phillies, this was like a bit

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: of a letdown spot just being a Memorial Day. It

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: wasn't a day game, which was nice. It wasn't a

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: day game after a night game, but night game after

73
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: a night game against a team that you know you

74
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: should beat immediately. David Pearson does not have it. Command,

75
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: was all over the place, gave up pretty quick ones

76
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: in the first inning, and you get scared because you

77
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: get scared about proverbially the Mets come returning back to

78
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: being the Mets. But that didn't happen because these are

79
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: not those Mets. These are these Mets, and we hit

80
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: everything all night long against like we're gonna keep saying,

81
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: the lowly, lowly Nationals. It all started in the first inning.

82
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: Because if the month is May, the Mets dominate the

83
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: first inning.

84
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's crazy because threw nothing down. We got

85
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: to three to one at one point, I believe with

86
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: the bases loaded because your may Cannon and door. Everybody

87
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: was hitting like Eric Fetty's trash. Eric Fetty's probably one

88
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: of the ten worst starters that like legitimately starts in

89
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. I feel confident in that.

90
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: But he once in a while just has those very

91
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: very good starts because the slider isn't really that bad.

92
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: But got on him immediately. First four reach base against him.

93
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: Korme can howld'or all had singles, Lindor single drove one in,

94
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 2: and Pilonzo how to walk. So four guys come to

95
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: the plate. Dirty pitchers are thrown before Eric Fetty even

96
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: records it out.

97
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: Dude and your boy threw down a live bet immediately.

98
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: I threw that down for a live bet money line.

99
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: I threw the Rangers' money line. Had quite the day

100
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: because obviously both of these teams ended up winning.

101
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: That's a nice play. I've had an awful week betting

102
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: because of those freaking Dodgers that we're going to play against.

103
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: But I guess we'll talk about that in the preview.

104
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: But then Jeff McNeil double play, which was the mass

105
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: we've seen Jeff McNeil gain in the weeks. But he

106
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: restrains himself only simply yelled into a helmet rather than

107
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: the night sky, which was a welcome change. But that

108
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: was just very nice to immediately answer that Peterson rough

109
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: first inning with a few runs of our own and

110
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: just make sure everybody knows that we are here to

111
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: win this game, like we know where the better team,

112
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: We're going to act like it.

113
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, the Mets keeping it close after that bad

114
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: inning was super huge, And to be fair, it's not

115
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: like the Mets runs really stopped. What do we get

116
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: four in the second inning? Two and three and the

117
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: fourth like it was just non stop jumping on Eric Fetti,

118
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: who was in this game for way too long. But

119
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: also I can't blame Dave Martinez because who else is

120
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: he gonna throw in this entire Nationals roster on the

121
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: pitching side, like we said in our preview last episode,

122
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: is horrendously bad.

123
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: And the same thing happened in Game two with Patrick Corbin,

124
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: but four runs in a second. Nick Plumber, the newly

125
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: minted folk hero of this team, had a big double,

126
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: Luiski Ermy had another head stronging, Martee had the home run,

127
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: Martaylindor each other RBI singles again the third inning. Nick

128
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: Plumber hit another home run in the fourth inning, and

129
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: then you look up and you're like, wow, I thought

130
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: we were struggling here and we're winning twelve to four

131
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: in the fourth.

132
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. Marte is so insanely hot right now.

133
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: I know. I was getting a lot of crap because

134
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: when the Mets originally signed Starling Marte and he had

135
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: like that hot first week, I was like, man, I

136
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: can't believe Starling Marte isn't met and then he went

137
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: a little bit cold, and I was getting crap for

138
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: some people on Twitter, Angels fans of all people, which

139
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: is crazy, and I found the tweet went back. It

140
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: was like, since this tweet on May first, Sarring Morte

141
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: is hitting like three sixty with a nine hundred ops.

142
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: The dude has been on an absolute tear and it

143
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: continued this series, especially in this game against the Nationals

144
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: when he hits the ball in the air shockingly. He

145
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: can hit home runs like he's a good ballplayer.

146
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: Yea, And he was part of this just complete and

147
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: total domination from the Mets lineup. Every single player that

148
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: started on Monday night had at least one hard hit ball.

149
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: Pete and Kiormi were the only Mets with just one.

150
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: Pete that one being a solo home run he hit

151
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: in the eighth inning as nice finishing touch in this

152
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: wonderful game. Starling had four hard hit balls and three

153
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: hits to go along kind of home run that we

154
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: just mentioned. Lindor and Kana each had three hard hit balls,

155
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: and the top three of the Mets order were just

156
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: on a completely different level. Guillorme, who is still filling

157
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: in for Brandon on the ledof spots, Starling Marte who's

158
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: now taken over that two role, just shoved it right

159
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: in my face. And Francisco Indoor hitting third. Those three

160
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: guys combined on Monday night were eight for thirteen, two walks,

161
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: five runs scored, seven runs. Bad than eight hard hit

162
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: balls and a home run.

163
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's sick. This is exactly what we

164
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: envisioned when we thought of about this Mets line going

165
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: to the season, is that the top of the order

166
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: is gonna get on base generate runs, and that's exactly

167
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: what they did in this game, and to be fair,

168
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: it feels like for the last few weeks this is

169
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: exactly what's been happening, because, as you mentioned earlier, if

170
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: it's the month of May, the Mets are scoring runs

171
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: in the first inning.

172
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: Literally, the Mets play twenty nine games in May, including

173
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: this game and then Tuesday's game that was the last

174
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: day of May. The scordon sixteen of those twenty nine

175
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: first innings. That's like, actually insane. That's more than half,

176
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: more than half of their first innings. Like, no, no, no,

177
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: teams do things like that, dude.

178
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: We also got to if we're gonna talk about like

179
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: in half of your games or whatever. Luis Giormey, who

180
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: again took over that like leadoff spot against righties because

181
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: brand Nemah had been on the bench because of a

182
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: nagging injury. Luis Yormey at one point, I think, was

183
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: eighteen for thirty six in his last thirty six at bats,

184
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: which is a crazy thing to say, Like, I know

185
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: people get hot, but Luis Giormey, I mean, this entire

186
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: team was scalding hot, and it kind of all just

187
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: came together in this game where everybody was hot, everybody

188
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: was getting on base and we just poured it on

189
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: these Washington Nationals.

190
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: Over the entire month of May, eighteen games, fifty eight

191
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: at bats for Luiski Army. He had a four to

192
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: fourteen batting average, one home run, twelve run scored, seven walks,

193
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: seven strike as, one WRC plus. Just the guy's fantastic.

194
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: He's a fantastic baseball player. And it's crazy to see

195
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: what the extended run he's had in this lineup, what

196
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: he's been able to do with that playing time.

197
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: King Louis Man, King Louis's been preaching the word of

198
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: King Luis ki Ormey for over a year and it

199
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: just feels like every episode now we we you know,

200
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: heart back on it. But for good reason. He has

201
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: just been so good, so valuable. This dude deserves as

202
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: much playing time as he's getting and I don't think

203
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna stop anytime soon, especially when he's this hot.

204
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: And I mean we're also getting it from the next

205
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: guy up to Nick Plumber. Dom Smith got sent down

206
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: this series. I know, not this game, but was it

207
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: this game technically? No? Right, it was at game technically yeah,

208
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: And Nick Plumber is the reason why, because Nick Plumber

209
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: seemingly just takes over the Dom Smith spot, because really,

210
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, a backup first baseman

211
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: not that big of a deal. A special Markannack can

212
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: play for your space, and Nick Plumber is just simply

213
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: swinging a significantly better bat than Dom Smith has done

214
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: all year. Dom Smith hasn't hit a home run since

215
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: I think what last July. I mean, like I feel

216
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: for Dom. We want Dom to succeed. We've always been

217
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: big Dom Smith fans here. But the fact of the

218
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: matter is, and this is also something really refreshing too.

219
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: I think with the Mets front office and just this

220
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: new Mets regime is that the Mets clearly are prioritizing winning.

221
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: We saw Robinson Canoe get cut earlier in the year.

222
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: That was a winning move right there. That has nothing

223
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: to do with the money and Dom Smith even getting

224
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: sent down, a fan favorite, a guy who's been here forever.

225
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: But Nick Plumber just offers more right now.

226
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 2: I don't know if you missed this news, and I

227
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: knew you were out to dinner with your team in

228
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: North Carolina, but Robinson cano has been cut again.

229
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's terrible, He's awful. I mean, we

230
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: knew this. I'd been saying it as soon as we

231
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: saw the first swing in spring. Stare and go, oh,

232
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: this guy's bat. I don't know if he would have

233
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: gotten hit in our games today. You mentioned with my team,

234
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he hits against the Burlington sock Puppets.

235
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

236
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: No, I mean maybe he didn't and the DOM move again.

237
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: It is sad, but this is a team right now

238
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 2: that is clicking on all cylinders. And if you to

239
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: be in this lineup consistently, you have to be producing.

240
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: And Nick Plumber seems to have a shot to run

241
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: with this job. I also mentioned Jady Davis is gonna

242
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: get more over on DH. He has also swung a

243
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: significantly better bat than Dom this year. Againrew going back

244
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: to Plumber. Plumber has power. Plumber is a very good athlete.

245
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: He uncorked a crazy throw from left field I don't

246
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: remember for a Sunday or Monday. Seems to have decent

247
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: eye at the plate. He's been able to hit both

248
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: breaking balls and fastballs are early at least not seem

249
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: to be overmatched by either. If you can catch lighting

250
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: in a bottle of a team like this, a team

251
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: that's starving for that bench bat to take take control

252
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: of a job. Why not him?

253
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean he's been absolutely fantastic. Tricky nicky,

254
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: I think is what everyone's calling him. I don't know

255
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: if I really like that nickname, but it seems to

256
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: be what's hot.

257
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: It's almost like that's a bad connotation to it.

258
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of tricky nicky name. There has

259
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: to be something better for Nick Plumber. I mean, we're

260
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: in New York. We got to figure out something better.

261
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: I like the plumb dog, the ooh plum dog Millionaire. Oh,

262
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: let's go, he said.

263
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: At the same time, Garry also had an unbelievable quote

264
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 2: about Nick Plumber from Monday's game or He was like,

265
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: it just makes sense that the guy with the last

266
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: name Plumber is playing well in the town called Flushing.

267
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: Ooh.

268
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: That is a good point, because again, you can't teach that.

269
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: No, that's why he's the best in the business. I mean,

270
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: we know that Gary is the man, and that further

271
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: proves that he is. And then, honestly, I like on

272
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: the offensive side, just everyone was just mashing. Like you said, what,

273
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: every single person had a hard hit ball. Everybody made

274
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: a contribution. The Mets were just dominant on the offensive side.

275
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: Dominant. But before we wrap this game up, I want

276
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: to quickly touch on David Peterson because he did really struggle.

277
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 2: In a game where you're winning twelve to four in

278
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: the fourth inning, you would like to at least nurse

279
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: your young starter through five, get that win, get back

280
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: to the locker room feeling like, you know, he really

281
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: did a lot to help, and not being able to

282
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: do that was a little bit disappointing, and like we're

283
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: just harping on this right now because the stay of

284
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: the Mets pitching depth and the fact that he does

285
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: need to be a valuable contributor here if we want

286
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: to make it through this June month still with a

287
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: massive lead in the division. It's just lucky that he

288
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: was able to have his first bad start in a

289
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: month and no one noticed because we put thirteen runs

290
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: on the board. But the final line of four and

291
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: two thirds inning, six hits, four earned, four walks, and

292
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: one strikeout against a not very good national team. It's

293
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: just simply not going to cut it. And the problem

294
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: Peterson this one was that just totally, totally, utterly and

295
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: completely lost the command of his slyder early late in

296
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: the middle, just could he couldn't place it the whole night.

297
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: If you're going savant, going fangrafs, going down b dot com,

298
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: you look at the illustrator of where his slider was

299
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: being placed. He just he couldn't find the plate with it.

300
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: He was either too low, it was too far outside,

301
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: it was too far inside. And as a pitch that

302
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: is only just about league average in terms of stuff

303
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: that slider, which is good. That's a big step up

304
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: from what used to be for Peterson. Placement of this

305
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: key commanded is going to be key. If he can

306
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: command it where he wants, he canna get anybody wants

307
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: out with it. If he can't command it anywhere, no

308
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: one's even gonna think about it. And with losing the

309
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: command of that slider, it kind of reverted back to

310
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 2: old Peterson, which was throwing the lots of sinkers and

311
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: change ups trying to get guys out, and it didn't

312
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: really work that well. So he took one in the chin.

313
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: Didn't really matter because team scored thirteen runs. Just get

314
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: it next time.

315
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: I think Buck made a little bit of a statement

316
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: too by taking Peterson out basically needing one out to

317
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: get the official win on the record. To be honest,

318
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: David Peterson didn't deserve a win that game. The offense

319
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: completely bailed him out. And I do think old school buck.

320
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: We know that he likes, you know, he's a little

321
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: bit of a different thinker than we normally see. I

322
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: fully believe he took him out with one out there.

323
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: Granted he wasn't pitching well either, but I think that

324
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: was it. You don't deserve a win, We're gonna get

325
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: someone else in here.

326
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't hate that, take it all. It did kind

327
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: of all unravel a little bit even worse than before

328
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: in that fifth inning. And they need a colin holderhim

329
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: to commit who did give up a run and David

330
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: Peters instead. Yeah, not like he really slamed the door on.

331
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: It's not like he even need to because a Mets were

332
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: up by eight runs at the time, or I think

333
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: it was ten runs even at the time. But what

334
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: are you gonna do?

335
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: And I mean that was pretty much the game. It

336
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: was easy, it was simple. The Mets scored a ton

337
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: of runs, the Nationals didn't, and we absolutely house them.

338
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: Can I be corny, give me a corny line, lots

339
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: of fireworks from the Mets on Memorial Day.

340
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: Uh, it's awful. That's terrible, terrible boo. Okay, I don't

341
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: want to talk about it anymore. Let's go to Game two.

342
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: Game two, the offense was still good again.

343
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: I can't remember any time in my life that the

344
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: Mets had fifteen hits and ten runs in back to

345
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: back games.

346
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: Honestly, just like I think at one point I saw

347
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: seventeen hits on the board and went seven. Like I

348
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: had watched the game, I had seen everything that I

349
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: gone on. I hadn't missed a pitch that I went seventeen.

350
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: That feels like an insane number.

351
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: I was at this game with the whole Schiano klan,

352
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: and in the fifth inning when the Mets had put

353
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: up there, I think it was their tenth run. It

354
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: was the sixth. My mom was like, oh, you guys

355
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: ready to go Soon's.

356
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: That's a classic Mom move of like all the game's over.

357
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean that that was a really good game though.

358
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: If there was ever one to leave early, I mean,

359
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: the Mets were just in complete control.

360
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: Yea. I'm not gonna hold it against my mom. She

361
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: had major Tuesday scaries because New Jersey didn't use that

362
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: many snow days this year, so she had a couple

363
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: extra days off Memorial Day, so this was her first

364
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: day back after what was a four day weekend. So yeah,

365
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: you get that feeling inside when you're in Queens and

366
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: you have to wake up at six in the morning

367
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: in New Jersey, I get that. But of course, nowhere

368
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: else to start with the first inning where the Mets

369
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: got on the board again Starling Marte massive two run

370
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: home run, his sixth of the year. You only had

371
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: twelve all of last year with fifty stone basis, so

372
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: a little bit different of Marte. However, the catch that

373
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: was made on this home run by the fan in

374
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: center field was one of the most impressive plays ever

375
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: made in a baseball stadium on the fielder otherwise this

376
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: guy got national acclaim.

377
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable with the baby in hand on an

378
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: absolute piss rocket to centerfield. Starringmore Tey crush this baseball

379
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: with the baby in the hand, one year old, just

380
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: one hand snag stuck it like it was nothing, and

381
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: acted as if this was an everyday play. He had

382
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: like no real celebration or anything. He was like, yeah,

383
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: would you want me to do.

384
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: Of course, I was going to catch this ball, leaning

385
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: over the railing, holding with the baby looking back, basically

386
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: and grabbing it. Hanna Kaiser put him in an article.

387
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: He was all over national baseball media for twenty four hours.

388
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: Allen great, great, Garret was giving a lot of love

389
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: to He goes, congratulations, young man, you just went viral.

390
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: He was like, he was all about, like this is

391
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the next bit great thing that just happened

392
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: in baseball.

393
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: No, of course, and I mentioned it before. This capped

394
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: off a May for the Mets where they played twenty

395
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: nine games and scored in sixteen first hittings.

396
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: It's like, it's actually disgusting.

397
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: That shouldn't even be allowed. Now, that's how a team

398
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: like this gets so high and wins these games without

399
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: any pitching virtually. However, you get, you score first every

400
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: single game, and you may get the team think they're

401
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: going to lose. We also didn't mention the Marte quote

402
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: after the first game where they were like, how it

403
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: feel to go down early? I think it was to

404
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: Gelzy and he was like, sometimes you like going down

405
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: just so we can come back.

406
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: That's crazy person talk right there. That's like that's insane.

407
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: But that's also just playing against the Nationals. And you

408
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: noticed it on Monday and Tuesday, like Lindorgy or man

409
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: Escobar were like throwing the ball to each other coming

410
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: off the field, like making funny catches, like throwing it

411
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: behind their back, catching it over their shoulder, like just

412
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: doing ridiculous things. These guys are having a ridiculous amount

413
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: of fun out there. Who wouldn't when you win every

414
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: night and score on every first inning.

415
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Dude. This is something we talked about last year, was

416
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: like the Mets just kind of lack a little bit

417
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: of that chip on their shoulder. Like Stroman was kind

418
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: of the guy who had the chip on his shoulder

419
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: last year, but I felt like the rest of the

420
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: team kind of locked that edge a little bit. And

421
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: it feels like right now, these guys are playing well.

422
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: They know they're good, they know they can come back

423
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: from anything, because seemingly they have because of that Philadelphia game.

424
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: And it's just really nice that in a three to

425
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: zero game like early on or when you go down early,

426
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: that the team does not crumble at all. They're almost like, oh, okay, yeah,

427
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: now we just now we have to score a little

428
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: bit more than we normally.

429
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: Would be like, yeah, we're down through nothing, but we

430
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: haven't hit yet.

431
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: You haven't even give us a chance.

432
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: I haven't even held a bad How could I have scored?

433
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: I haven't hit, dude.

434
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's really nice. This team's clicking on

435
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: all cylinders. Like you said, you know, how about this?

436
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: Sixteen times and twenty nine games. That's ten percent of

437
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: the season. Right now, the Mets have already scored in

438
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: the first edting.

439
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: That's not even including April. I was looking back in

440
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: the stats today. I was trying to find a way

441
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: on Savant's search to key in on every single time

442
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: your team score the run. Because we do with the

443
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: game boxes, you're allowed to only store it by play

444
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: as where run score, but in the search function you're not.

445
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 2: So I wanted to get to a cutup of a

446
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: video of every single first hitting Mets run for the

447
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: month of May June first. Couldn't do it. Apologize you guys. Sorry.

448
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: Maybe might have some smarter people helping us with content soon.

449
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: But see what I was gonna say, though, is that

450
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: I bet you that there's a year within the last

451
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: twenty that the Mets didn't score like more than twenty

452
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: times in the first sitting of a season, and we've

453
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: done it sixteen times in a month.

454
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: I bet it was last year. I'll look it up

455
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 2: right now. I can get that less than five minutes.

456
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: All right, we're back, quick little search function on Excel.

457
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: Last season, the entire year, the Mets only scored forty

458
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: three times in the first thing. Not they just scored

459
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: forty three total runs in the first inning. They scored

460
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: a run in the first inning in forty three of

461
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: their games, so a little bit more than a quarter

462
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: of their games. And in May they did it a

463
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: little bit more than half of their games.

464
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is crazy. I mean this, we know this.

465
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: Mets teams a lot better than Mets teams in the past,

466
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: but just kind of shows, especially this past month, the

467
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: Mets have been hot as hell.

468
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: Less than one third of the way through the season,

469
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: the Mets are almost half of the way to their

470
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: first inning quantity of game scoring a run. I totally

471
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: botched that sentence, but you get what you know what

472
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: I mean?

473
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys understand what you mean. I mean, we're

474
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: talking right now about future All Star Luiski or May

475
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: who I talked about was hot after game one. Game two,

476
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: he just continued on the dude just doesn't get out,

477
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: like it just doesn't really happen.

478
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: Technically, demoed out of the lead off spot because the

479
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: Mester're facing lefty Patrick Corbin, and he just went back

480
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: down to his I don't remember it a seven or

481
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: eight hole. He just kept getting his to RBI single

482
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: And there was a lot of cheers in this game.

483
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: The Mets scored ten runs in six innings. People were

484
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: going crazy. There was no bigger cheer maybe besides when

485
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 2: Nick Plumber got started into the game for defense late.

486
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 2: Besides that Luiski or may is seeing I single to

487
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: score two runs in the third inning. People were just

488
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: jumping up and down.

489
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: The dude's an electric factory. And I want it to

490
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: be known that we were first to Luiski Ormey, we

491
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: were the first to be hip to him, and that

492
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: we're also going to be the first to publicly vouch

493
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: that he needs to be the right in for the

494
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: All Star Game this year.

495
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll tweet it tomorrow morning, well actually not

496
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning. This episode want to be absol tomorrow afternoon.

497
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: But the second episode goes out tweet back Us Luisky

498
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: Army four All Star Game for All Star Game twenty

499
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: twenty two, like, whould you get that hashtag? Going?

500
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, whatever it's going to be, you'll be able

501
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: to find it. But I mean we will be writing

502
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: him in and I'll be using all my maximum boats

503
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: every single day once it's opens.

504
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: Up the past that Marcanda and Francisco Lindor top of

505
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: the line up, staying hot. You tell RBI hits in

506
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 2: the fifth This extended Francisco Lindor's RBI streak to nine

507
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: straight games, only the fourth ever met to do that.

508
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: And while the Escobar put a cap on this entire game,

509
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: scoring with a two run home run the sixth inning,

510
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: and you look up and it was ten nothing and

511
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 2: my mom used to leave.

512
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, when Eduardo Escobar sa in a two run home run,

513
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: you know something's going well. Canna had four hits on

514
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: the night as well, Like the team was just clicking.

515
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: And that's what happens when you, you know, have a

516
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: ten to nothing victory. And shout to Trevor Williams, who

517
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: again I don't know how he does it. I don't

518
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: know why, I don't know, I really it really doesn't

519
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: make sense watching it. But Trevor Williams again pitches really

520
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: really well and he owns Juan Soto, which also makes

521
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: zero sense.

522
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 2: Wan, So though, I'll talk about this morn in Game three,

523
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: because Keith just was like being outwardly mean to him

524
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: on the telecast. He just seems so disinterested in playing

525
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 2: baseball for the Washington Nationals right now. His at bats

526
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: were weird. He was doing he was like shuffling more

527
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: than usual. They were a couple of times like actually

528
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: stepped out in front of the plate and like cheesing

529
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 2: at people, chee at Carrasco a few times today. He

530
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: let it pop up drop in front of him on

531
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: Wednesday afternoon. That was egregiously bad. Just like there was

532
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: no reason for that ball to a drop. He took

533
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: a step back, he went round about. He just didn't

534
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: really hustle or get dirty there in time. It just

535
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: one for eleven the series. That's not the one. So

536
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 2: that we know he's sitting two thirty right now.

537
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: We're bad.

538
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: We're not a bading average podcast. But Juan Soto career

539
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 2: basically three hundred.

540
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Hither, dude, I was shocked at how little effort it

541
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: felt like, not just Juan Soto, but this entire Washington

542
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: Nationals team put into any of these games, it felt

543
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: like they just really I don't want to say like,

544
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: don't give a shit, because I don't think that's fair,

545
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: but it really doesn't seem like these Washington Nationals players

546
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: care to be out on the field at all in

547
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: the slightest and Wan Soto, I think, is like the

548
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: perfect example of like the dude's got all the talent

549
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: in the world is kind of in a shitty situation.

550
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: Things don't necessarily go his way and you can almost

551
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: see him starting to realize it. And I don't want

552
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: to say again, not care, but it doesn't seem like

553
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: the intense or effort is there as much as it

554
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: has been in the past.

555
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 2: Definitely not as much as it has been in the past.

556
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: But that's enough talking about how bad the Nationals are,

557
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: because the team is completely abysmal and has and is

558
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: literally hopeless for their near and extended future. This team

559
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: has no chance to be good even within a five

560
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: year window. I would almost say there's no way they're

561
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: gonna win a division ten years, right, It'd be like,

562
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: oh yeah.

563
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: In the in the twenty twenties. I think they might

564
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: be done.

565
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: I think that while either Francisco indoors on the Mets,

566
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 2: round the Cuney Junior is on the Braves, Bryce Harper

567
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: is on the Phillies, or Kim kim Ming is with

568
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: the Marlins, it seems like jas Chizoma. Even more so,

569
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any way this team contends for

570
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: a division. They probably won't for a wild card spot.

571
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we know Wanso was leaving the first chance

572
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: he gets, so I mean.

573
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: If they're if they're stupid, they'll hold him to the

574
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: end of his contract. If they even have a little

575
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 2: bit of pride and self decency, they'll trade him and

576
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: actually get three or four players that can possibly help them.

577
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: But the team, the roster, the system, they're devoid of talent,

578
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: They're devoid the fundamental. This team, it's it's a pleasure

579
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: to play against them, and I will I will not,

580
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: I will not look past this opportunity again because the

581
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 2: Mets were all over them second game of the row

582
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: again with ten runs, second game in a row, fifteen hits,

583
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: and before we kind of wrap this one up again

584
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: because now we could talk about how bad the Nationals

585
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: are for the whole next hour of the show.

586
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: I really could, I really could.

587
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: This was the Mets last game without Brandon Nemo starting.

588
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: He came back for Wednesday's matinee hit leadoff, played center field.

589
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: Love that another future All Star. I really wanted to

590
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: give a shad out to Luis gi or May and

591
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: Marcanna filling in at the top of the lineup four

592
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: brand Nemo, who we've seen evolve in to one of

593
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: the best lead up hitters in baseball before our eyes.

594
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: Nimo didn't play for four games, first one being Saturday,

595
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: Luis gi Ormy was three for three with a walk

596
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: and two run scored. Sunday back in the leadof spot

597
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: for gior May two for five with a double in

598
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: a run scored. Monday gior May two for four with

599
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: a walk, ribby three runs scored, and then Marknna Tyga

600
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: bow wanted on Tuesday four for five hits since first

601
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: four at bats of this game a double, two runs

602
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: and two RBIs.

603
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: Dude, It's funny because I think Gary even brought it

604
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: up in Game two talking about how we all know

605
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: that brand Nemo is so sick in the leadoff spot,

606
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: but the guys who have filled in for him. Anybody

607
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: else's hit leadoff I think combined was hitting around seven

608
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: to fifty at the time, which is crazy.

609
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: I tweeted this a few months ago, maybe I say

610
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: a few months ago. This was like a month ago,

611
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: maybe even two or three weeks ago. The scenes is

612
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: moving very fast and very slowly. All at the same

613
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: time that the Mets were basically a decade did not

614
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: have a truly off hitter since Jose Rays left. I

615
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: Hopeagan tried to do it for a little while, and

616
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: brand Nemo has been doing it for a few years now,

617
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 2: but I wouldn't say that really most Met fans accepted

618
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: him as a really elite lead off hitter until probably

619
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: even at some point last year. And now the Mets

620
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: have at least three, possibly even four or five very

621
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: goodly off hitters on one roster in the same line

622
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 2: up at the same time.

623
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: No, it's crazy. It's crazy the depth that this team

624
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: has seemingly come to. And we saw it all honestly

625
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: this series Game one in Game two, every single person

626
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: made an impact, stepped up and ended up being valuable

627
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: to this team, and that's why we won the first

628
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: two games. We won the series right there, but like

629
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: you said, Game three, we had the matinee on Wednesday,

630
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: and again just really really great baseball by the Mets,

631
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: just better than the Nationals.

632
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a fine game on Wednesday, but definitely

633
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: tell while you were in North Carolina actually playing baseball,

634
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: you probably didn't catch most of this, because I wouldn't

635
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: say this was the most relaxing, good, dominant, we're better

636
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: than you baseball game. This game was more of the

637
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: fact that the Mets just played like an average baseball

638
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: game and the Nationals played a horrific one.

639
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah I was. I was playing in my own baseball game,

640
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: so I was really much box score watching and seeing highlights.

641
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, when you see highlights and one team scores

642
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: five runs and the other team scores zero, you're gonna say, hey,

643
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: we played a lot better than them.

644
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if it happened. There were a

645
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 2: lot of instances early on this game where if one

646
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: bounce or two went to Nationals, wait, it looks like

647
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 2: they very easily could have won it. But in true

648
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: Mets twenty twenty two form, the depth came in and

649
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 2: picked everybody up, and there's nobody in the organization who

650
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 2: had a better day on Wednesday than the trio of Gary,

651
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: Keith and ron In the SNY booth. These guys were

652
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: in rarefied form this entire game. They were telling stories

653
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: about Ronnie and Keith, about their dads watching them and

654
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: their interaction with them in a baseball sense, because Kookie

655
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: Carrasco's dad was at the game and he was very

656
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 2: much showing the SNY broadcast Keith, we know, having the

657
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: hot in cold relationship with his dad.

658
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: First time ever that Carlos Carrasco's dad watched him pitch professionally.

659
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: That was his first time. Why was that the first

660
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: time ever?

661
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: First time ever? I don't know the reasoning behind him.

662
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: My dad told me about it, said Buck after the

663
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: game got choked up talking about that. He had to

664
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: take a legitimate pause and be like my dad said,

665
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: he got verklemped, which is not a word I've ever

666
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: really heard Dad used before.

667
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Okay, that makes a lot more sense. And also,

668
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: there's no need to ever conduct a paternity test on

669
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: Carlos Carrasco because he is the spinning image of his father.

670
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: There's no question at all about who is his dad,

671
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 2: because it was that guy sitting right there. He had

672
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: a couple of rings on the fingers and he was

673
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: really hanging on every pitch. I can't believe first time

674
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 2: they have seen professionally. That's unbelievable.

675
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: But how insane is that Carlos carasc was thirty five

676
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: by any wait, un till now. I guess he was like,

677
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: I'm not going to fucking Cleveland.

678
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 2: I guess that's true. All the Carls has been through

679
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: a lot too, maybe Native Venezuelan. But Keith was talking

680
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: about the hot and cold relationship with his dad, how

681
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: every single time he had to visit his dad, he

682
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: prayed to God he was hot because if he was

683
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: in a slump, all his dad would do was coach.

684
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 2: When he was like a thirty year old former MVP

685
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: in the major leagues, and Ronnie the whole opposite. That

686
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 2: was like, my dad refused to catch me after the

687
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 2: day I turned seven. I was already I was already

688
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: too good for him. He just pushed me off to

689
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: other people. And then those guys were also telling stories

690
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: about their debuts. Because Evan Lee Mays for first career

691
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: start for the Nationals, talking a lot about mister Carrasco.

692
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: Like I said, Keith, like I said before, was just

693
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: giving it to one. So though he was saying that,

694
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: like this is also Keith not really understanding the exact

695
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: lay of the modern game. Sometimes we see that about

696
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 2: to mention that, yeah, he said that, So though has

697
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: to be kicking himself for turning down that Nationals contract

698
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 2: from the offseason, which I think was like ten years

699
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: for three hundred and fifty million. And I was like,

700
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: I don't think you know what's going on here, Keith.

701
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: This this is like super super old guy stuff. And

702
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: if you guys could possibly see a video version of this,

703
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm like cringing because this is a conversation I had

704
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: this weekend with my uncle. Shout out to Uncle George,

705
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: you talking about Aaron Judge turning down the big Yankees

706
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: contract and saying he was an idiot, And I was like,

707
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: but he's gonna make way more than that now, like

708
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: he's playing at an MVP level. I think that was

709
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: a great movie. He's like, yes, but you need to

710
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: be grateful about the cut the money that is offered

711
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: to you. And that's basically kind of I think how

712
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: Keith probably felt this weekend too. There was a lot

713
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: of weird like jinxing of Wan Soda where I was like,

714
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: I just I'm waiting for him to hit a nuke

715
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: and then it's gonna be a Twitter clip and everyone's

716
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: gonna be like, look at the Mets announcers talking about

717
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: Wan Soda not being good and then he actually is sick.

718
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: Luckily it didn't happen, but it was weird. The Mets,

719
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: like Gary and Keith specifically, We're taking a lot of

720
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: shots at Wan Soda this weekend or week There was.

721
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 2: A moment where I think Sny was aware of what

722
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: you were saying, and as Keith was like saying whatever

723
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: about Juan So Though, like doing the shimmy or making

724
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: eyes back of Carrasco. Sny popped up the graphic highest

725
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: ops ever before twenty twenty fourth birthday and like one

726
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: thousand more play appearances, and it was like Mellot, Eddie, Matthews,

727
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: Hank Aaron, Juan so Though Ted Williams like, oh, okay,

728
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: and now I remember he's a starkally great player. But

729
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: they were also just on the opposite of this, throwing

730
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: heaps and heaps of love onto Luisky Rmet saying how

731
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: in the zone he looks, and how amazing he looks

732
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: as a regular player, and how we just need to

733
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: consist in that back to unlock this. He said that

734
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: Keith gave a great analogy because Giorme said that his

735
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: swing just feels as good as ever felt in his

736
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: life right now, and it's like he doesn't even have

737
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: to think about it. He just goes up there and

738
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 2: he gets to execute every single time, bang bang bang.

739
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: Keith was like, when you were hitting like that, you

740
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: feel like you're in a rocking chair and you're just

741
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: very easy. Back and forth, back and forth. You see it,

742
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: you hit it, You see it, you hit it, keep

743
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: moving on. They were also talking a lot about Johann

744
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: because this was ten year anniversary of Johan's No Hither.

745
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: I was at the game on Tuesday, but of course

746
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: me and my family are habitually late to everything, and

747
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 2: it took us two hours to get from New Jersey

748
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: too Queens, so we missed the entire celebration. I did

749
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: get a picture snap on with Johan during the game,

750
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: which I'm not going to tell our listeners how I

751
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: did that happened, But that story for Arriers only they

752
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: were talking a lot about Johann and how everybody around

753
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: that no hither was like very emotional, how like Terry

754
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: still gets choked up thinking about it, and how did you.

755
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the press conference Terry

756
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: and Johann did, but Terry says had a lot of

757
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: sleepless nights thinking about how that day affected the rest

758
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: of Johann's career, and Johann put his arm around him

759
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: and said, get some sleep, don't worry about.

760
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: It, dude. I cringed because Steve Gelbs in game two,

761
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: because that's I think when Johann was technically at the

762
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: stadium asked Johann about, like do you ever think about

763
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: how your career was never the same after that game?

764
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh man, that's an awkward question.

765
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: Johann's like, yeah, I think about it, but also at

766
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: the same time, like I wouldn't have changed anything. I

767
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: was like, that's kind of a cool answer, because like

768
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: you could totally be bitter about how it ended, because

769
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: let's be honest, that game ended Johan Santana's career.

770
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, but also a guy like Johann had

771
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: to look up and be like I already won multiple

772
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: cy Youngs, I already been to the playoffs a few times,

773
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: and looking around this Mett's roster that I had, I

774
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: probably wasn't gonna ever get there again. And also just

775
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: knowing my own limitations, I was never really going to

776
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: reach that mountain top again in any other like full

777
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: season form. And either Rodny or Keith had an interesting

778
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: quote about that. Actually they heard from Adam Waynwright, and

779
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was passed on to them

780
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: directly from Wayne Wright or from Waynwright to Santana, but

781
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: basically he said that as a pitcher, there's always a

782
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: moment in your career where you know you just have

783
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: to let go and whatever happens happens for better or worse,

784
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: and coaches, teammates, everyone has to be aware that at

785
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: some point where letting this go, and we don't know

786
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: if it's ever going to be the same, but you

787
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: basically have to leave it all out there just to

788
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: get your moment in the sun. And that's what Johann

789
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: thought of that no hitter as and now he's immortalized

790
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: in Mets history and the moment that again was very

791
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: emotional for all Mets fans out there.

792
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he talked about hearing stories about people like crying

793
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: in the stands. He's like, kind of crazy for me

794
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: just throwing a no hitter.

795
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: I think Ronnie said he cried after the game because

796
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: like all and we have had an instance where we

797
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: had a conversation with David Cohen at some point in

798
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: the recent past. I think I can say that.

799
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I think so. I think that can be

800
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: public knowledge.

801
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And David Cohen said that as a Mets pitcher,

802
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: a good Mets pitcher, like everybody kind of had that

803
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: murmur was like, I want to be the first guy

804
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: to do this. I want to be the first guy

805
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: to do this, Like I'm going to be the first guy. No,

806
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to be the first guy. And the fact

807
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: that a guy like Johann did it, who was like

808
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: actually a generationally great starting pitcher, someone who I've said

809
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: before should be in the Hall of Fame, should be

810
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: more of a part of the baseball lord is one

811
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: of the best pictures of this modern generation. For him

812
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: to get it and not some other guy who's just

813
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: a no name or journeyman. While that had a different

814
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: type of appeal, the fact that's a guy like Johann

815
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: who there was a big trade, a big contract, a

816
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: good run, high, a lot of success with the team

817
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: relatively to how the team was in that era. Anyway,

818
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: it gives more appeal to that no hitter.

819
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: I think it solidified Johann Santana as a Met because

820
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: I think without that you remember the good times with

821
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: the Johan, but really what did it amount to?

822
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: But even with that, if you want Satana, did ever

823
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: get the call from the Hall of Fame? He's a twin?

824
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No, there's no doubt he's a twin. First. Yeah,

825
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: I would never think he's a Met over the twin.

826
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: But I'm saying I think, like in Mets fans, hearts

827
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: in Mets fans brains, that no hitter makes him a Met,

828
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: whereas if he didn't throw out no hitter, he's just

829
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: a great guy who ended up pitching for the Mets

830
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: at the end of his career.

831
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And that's honestly probably the difference between

832
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: how like a Johann is remembered as a Met versus

833
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: like Pedro. Yeah, Pedro was a good one. Like Pedro

834
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: was a good Met and there were good moments and

835
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: it could have been more, but still never had that

836
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: signature Mets moment like Johan Santana was able to have

837
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: and cement himself as a part of our culture.

838
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm reading the notes that you put and again

839
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: didn't catch a lot of Game three. I'm seeing ode

840
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: to Russell Martin, What the hell is this?

841
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: This game got wacky towards the end, which was crazy

842
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 2: because it was only two nothing game by the six

843
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: or seventh dinning. So this was a tight game because

844
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: the game you also wanted to win before a ten

845
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: game road trip. And Gary or Keith well someone was

846
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: like Riley Adams looks a lot like Buster Posey, and

847
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: they were like, yeah, kind of, I guess so. But

848
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: and then Gary was like, well we also, honestly we're here,

849
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: we might as well mention there was another big catcher

850
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: retiree from the past week, Russell Martin. And in the

851
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: fact that Russell Martin was just like a very good catcher,

852
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: it's going to kind of get swept away in baseball

853
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: history from Montreal. Now, a lot of baseball players come

854
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: out of Canada. Great story. I think his dad was

855
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: a like playing music on like the Montreal Metro to

856
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: like save money, great guy.

857
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: Uh, numbers are incredibly similar across the board to Yadi

858
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: or Molina gets no love.

859
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: Now there's more to a catcher than having numbers. But

860
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: sure you can keep your shtick going. And then also

861
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 2: again this game got very wacky. Keith was talking about

862
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 2: how Chili got the ballpark and then Gary was like,

863
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: we all agree on wearing the polos today, like you

864
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: you were the one who initiated the polos. Today. It's like,

865
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go get a sweather in between innings, and

866
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: Keith pop back out in the Yale sweather in front

867
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: of Ronnie who went to Yale for all the people

868
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: don't know it, and he was like, how's a look?

869
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: And they were like, where'd you get that? And they

870
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: thought like he stole one from Ronnie. He was like, oh,

871
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: I went to the Yale club last night. I was like,

872
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: oh okay, Keith. And then Gary was like, oh, it's

873
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 2: kind of ironic because you only only won this booth

874
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: who actually did not graduate in an IVY league. And

875
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: he was like, no, no, no, I wanted to go.

876
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: I wanted to go IVY leagues. And I was younger,

877
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 2: my dad told me he was gonna be a ball player.

878
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: And then Gary had a dick. He was like, I

879
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 2: think your dad realized how much the Yale cost. Yeah,

880
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: it was the classic Gary Keith and Ronck games. Guys

881
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 2: were having so much fun there. They were laughing, they

882
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: were smiling, telling stories. Is the baseball game which was

883
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: oddly close but didn't feel close, which is kind of

884
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: happening around their show.

885
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean this game, like you said Grascow

886
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: on the mound, he ended up pitching fine, I guess

887
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: is the way I would say it.

888
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: It was okay. He had an up and down game.

889
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 2: He had five walks, which was a career high. Also,

890
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: at one point in the second inning, he just totally

891
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: lost all everything through eleven straight balls, first time his

892
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: career he ever did that, and walked through consecutive batters,

893
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: also first time his career he ever did that. He

894
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: most walks in the game all year was only three

895
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: entering the day, and he had walked three battles in

896
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: a row of that inning, and you kind of just

897
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 2: like saw him struggling to grip the baseball. He kept

898
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: like rubbing his arms looking for a sweat. And it

899
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: was a cool day in the city, so there wasn't

900
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: anything there, but he wound up getting out of that

901
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: second inning kind of mini rally. I'm not gonna call

902
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: it rally because there were no hits for second inning

903
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: in trouble. There was some trouble in the fourth inning.

904
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: Nationals had first and third with one man out. He

905
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 2: got Destrange Gordon to grind into a double play. After

906
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 2: a zero zero game, David Martinez kept playing the bunt

907
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 2: dine song bunt signed on trying to do a safety squeeze, which,

908
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: thank you David Martinez. Thank god that these last two

909
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: series and Mets have played against the two worst managers

910
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: in the National League, I could say with some confidence there. Also,

911
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: it's very funny that a guy like de Gordon, he's

912
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: been in the league over ten years now, at least

913
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 2: ten years, he has an image and the entire Mets

914
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: booth has stuck with it. They were like hard to

915
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: double up Destrange Gordon, one of the fastest guys in

916
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: the league. Like Destrange Gordan, former batting champ. You don't

917
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: want to take the bat out of his hands up

918
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 2: Like all right, well don't think either of this thing's

919
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 2: really a pertinent right now, but sure enough whatever, so

920
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: it's like.

921
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: Six years away or six years removed from being a

922
00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: okay baseball player.

923
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he is still pretty fast, but he's

924
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: not nowhere near like the fastest player in the league

925
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: label he used to have. But that was it. This

926
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: was not Carrasco's best game by any means. It was

927
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: good enough to win against the bad national team Quis Stanley,

928
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: though he had fifteen whiffs, which was the second highest

929
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 2: total of the season and his most since May third,

930
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: that double header game we watched him in against the Braves,

931
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 2: and he brought back that very evenly dispersed pitch mix

932
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: I talked about a lot of times with him. He

933
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: threw his fastball, change up, sinker, slider, and curveball each

934
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: at least thirteen percent of the time. The fastball and

935
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: change up led the way with thirty two percent usage

936
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: rate and twenty five percent usage rate, respectively in each

937
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: of those pitches. Each of those pitches were getting a

938
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: solid out of whifs. The changeup looked especially nasty. It

939
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: was a good game overall, good game overall. He battled,

940
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: He worked hard. Maybe he was even nervous with his

941
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: dad out there watching professionally for the first time. A

942
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 2: lot of things I play here, but good to see

943
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: him be able to wiggle in and out of trouble

944
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: in the day where he definitely didn't even have his

945
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: best or even like kind of his best stuff.

946
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he ended up doing just enough. And then

947
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean on the offensive side, we have to talk

948
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: about the one guy who basically carried this team offensively today,

949
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: which raise your hand if you thought Thomas Neito was

950
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: gonna be that guy. I mean, if you watch the game,

951
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: you did, but if you didn't, Yeah, Thomas Nito was like, hey,

952
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm a good hitter today. How about that dude?

953
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 2: Thomas Needa was completely locked in this one. I was

954
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 2: shocked and I saw the lineup and he was in it.

955
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: Because this is the third game and Wrother Thomas Needa

956
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 2: started and a day game after a night game, which

957
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 2: is very, very very surprising, but I could see it.

958
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 2: Veteran like Carrasco much preferring throwing Tondo rather than Mesica especially.

959
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: We've seen the issues with Mesica and Basson and I

960
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: al wanst say issues, but I'd just say maybe a

961
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 2: communication pitfalls. Yeah, And Carrasco similarly has a lot of

962
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: pitches in his toolbox. He doesn't throw them all as

963
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: consistently as bass It does, but he has a lot.

964
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: But Thomas Needa man four hits, three RBIs and four

965
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 2: heart hit balls.

966
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: That's big because Tomas Neito at times looks like he's

967
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: swinging a piece of wet spaghetti. Threw some thick marinaro sauce.

968
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's none of those balls and play were even

969
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: over one hundred one miles an hour, but they were

970
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: all over ninety five miles an hour. So it happens.

971
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 2: And a couple of these plays kind of probably shouldn't

972
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: even have really been hit. One of them was one

973
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 2: hoppy that says a Hernandez, that he tried to do

974
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: like the no look pay and he did make a

975
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: nice pick on it, but kept it in front and

976
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: then just kind of missed it when he tried to

977
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: grab it. So generous home home hometowns ruling on a

978
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 2: hit there. He had a very casual single in center

979
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 2: field that Dee Gordon misplayed for the Met's first two

980
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: runs of the game, and then he had kind of

981
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: a soft again. It was a hard hit, a softer

982
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 2: relative line drive to left field for yeah, yeall Hernandez,

983
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 2: who had one of the most last of days baseball

984
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 2: games we've ever seen in my entire life on Wednesday.

985
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: He dove for this ball directly in front of him,

986
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: four feet away. It took one hop and but it's

987
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: clear over his head, right all the way to the wall.

988
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: And he stood there and just looked at it like huh.

989
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: As de Gordon came from center field to retrieve it.

990
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 2: So some misplays. The Nationals are bad team, though they

991
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 2: make misplays. And this four his game pulled Tomas Those

992
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 2: full season batting average up to two fifty three.

993
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: That's shockingly high.

994
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? To higher than the league average?

995
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: That's insanely eye for Thomas, you know, who's like a

996
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: one ninety hitter.

997
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, his OPS still only sits at five to sixty five.

998
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: But we don't need to know that this is this

999
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 2: is non advanced stats podcast.

1000
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: No we ops. I'm only a carriage. Yeah, exactly. We're

1001
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: batting average guys for this purpose. Lindor also continue the

1002
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: RBI streak to what ten games now, which I think

1003
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: is tied with Mike Piazza.

1004
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 2: Second, I don't think it's tied for Mike Piazza. Maybe

1005
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: maybe this. I know Mike Piasta has done it twice,

1006
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 2: but these are the only two Mets ever to have

1007
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 2: an RBI in ten consecutive games, and Lindor over these

1008
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 2: ten games has twenty RBIs in total.

1009
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he James, he stinks.

1010
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: Though I know he's bad, you should. He also makes

1011
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: way too much money. He's like not as good as

1012
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: he should be. He's like he should be the top

1013
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 2: five player. Really is only a top like fifteen player.

1014
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I was paying a guy three hundred forty million,

1015
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: I'd expect him to have thirty RBIs in ten games.

1016
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 2: If I had enough money to pay a guy three

1017
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: hundred and forty million, I probably wouldn't give a half

1018
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: of a shit about what was going on with this team. Dude.

1019
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: Somebody on Twitter, I tweeted about Lindor being good, and

1020
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: they're like good enough where you're paying him three hundred

1021
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: and forty million dollars And I'm so happy because it

1022
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: seems like the tides turning a little bit. I had

1023
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: like four or five people reply to that guy be

1024
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: like Mark's paying him zero dollars. This is not Mark's

1025
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: money at all, Like, what are you talking about? It?

1026
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: Also like fine, Yeah, also, don't care, don't care at all,

1027
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: because the dude is really.

1028
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: Good, fantastic and he's like they'd in all of Major

1029
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: League Baseball, and RBIs right now behind Pete and Jose Ramirez.

1030
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a slash line of two six

1031
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: thirty three, forty six, four, forty four and seven ninety,

1032
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: which I know seven ninety doesn't sound great, but you

1033
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: have to remember that the league is adjusted now because

1034
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: OPS is just down across the league in general, so

1035
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: it puts him out an OPS plus of one to

1036
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven, which I don't know, twenty seven percent better

1037
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: than league average feels like a pretty good mark for

1038
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: a guy who's also elite defensively at shortstop.

1039
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: It's fantastic. I mean, hey, I'm also old enough to

1040
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 2: remember early in the year when Seth Luca was cooked. Yeah,

1041
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: and Seth Lugo threw two very good innings, some of

1042
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: the best innings I've seen him throw all year. He's

1043
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: just a very good reliever again, and now it seems

1044
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 2: like they're nursing him back as his arm has got

1045
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 2: more warm to being a guy who can throw multiple innings,

1046
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: which with Carrasco only being able to throw five no

1047
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: off day heading to Los Angeles for four Luco being

1048
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: able to throw two, especially also with a very peculiar

1049
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: decision to pitch Drew Smith and Joelie Rodriguez in the

1050
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: ten to nothing game on Tuesday. I thought that was

1051
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: kind of weird, but I also could have seen Buck

1052
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: being like, we're probably gonna beat them, beat the brakes

1053
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: off of them again tomorrow. I got to get the

1054
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 2: eighteen ball and some work before he had to LA.

1055
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 2: These guys can't not pitch for four days and then

1056
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: go see Trey Turner and Freddy Freeman and Mookie bats

1057
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: was fifteen home runs in a month, Like, I can't

1058
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 2: let them do that. These guys need to actually get

1059
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 2: some game reps in. We saw Tampa Bay lightning struggle

1060
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: with that nine days off. Those old legs looked heavy

1061
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: against the young Rangers. The kid lined, but Seth Lugo

1062
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: looked great. Altavino lost his Phase two batters and it

1063
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: looked like it was all falling apart, and then he

1064
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: got the slider back out for the next three batters

1065
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 2: and no one could touch him. It's so crazy. I

1066
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 2: talked about this with Diaz before a guy to walk

1067
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: such a fine line between being completely horrific and completely unhittable.

1068
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's out of you know.

1069
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: And DS, who also had a very clean ninth inning,

1070
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: got right out of And Mets fans were also bitching

1071
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 2: that Diaz was coming in a five round game, but

1072
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 2: the Mets scored three runs in the bottom of the

1073
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: eighth inning and Diaz was early throwing and he hadn't

1074
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 2: thrown since Sunday, Like it's which Wednesday, guys, he gets, guys,

1075
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 2: get some works irregular because then he's gonna come in La.

1076
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 2: He's gonna be cold, he's gonna be ridy, Like, oh,

1077
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 2: why isn't he pitcher a week? He would you want

1078
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 2: him to pitch in the five round game, remember, And

1079
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: he had like a ten pichion and he looked great.

1080
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's no winning with people, but luckily at least

1081
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: with us, and I'm assuming our listeners of the podcast,

1082
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: we're all rational Mets fans here. We know that this

1083
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: team is good. We know diazgo, we know Lindor is good.

1084
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: We know that this Mets team is legit. And having

1085
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: that sweep on the Nationals puts up what eighteen nineteen

1086
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: games over five hundred, which is a sick, sick cushion

1087
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: going into this.

1088
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 2: Roads thirty five and seventeen, which if you could double

1089
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 2: your losses, is still not reach your wins. That's beautiful.

1090
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh I love that. I love thinking that you

1091
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 1: could lose seventeen straight games and still have more wins

1092
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: than losses.

1093
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: Also, six wins in a row for the Mets, twenty

1094
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: one consecutive scoreless innings from Mets pitchers, back to back shutouts,

1095
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: just all around good things coming out of the series.

1096
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,959
Speaker 2: Before a very tough one.

1097
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: Yep, no, it was awesome and that's pretty much it

1098
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: for the series, easy clean sweep. We teased a little

1099
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: bit on Twitter that we're gonna do a mail bag episode,

1100
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: so that's exactly what we're gonna do.

1101
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: Here.

1102
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: Answer some of your guys questions from Twitter. Again, make

1103
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: sure you're following us at Mets Up. You'll be able

1104
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: to get involved in these. We do these about once

1105
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: a week. Gonna sort through these questions, start answering some

1106
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: of them. This one comes from Fat Harvey, which Jesus exactly,

1107
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: I don't even read that. Yeah. At b Fritz seventy

1108
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: nine with the June Gauntlet coming up. What's the worst

1109
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: acceptable record over the ten games? Also, do we boost

1110
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: Nderguard if we face him? I will answer the boot

1111
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: Kinderguard one. Yes, Cinderguard is I think centimeters away from

1112
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: being a rat. I think it's close, at least in

1113
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: my books. I think I think he's teetering on the edge.

1114
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: I think he's still okay, but I think he's really

1115
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: close to being a rat. And I got to admit

1116
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed seeing him getting chilled by the Yankees

1117
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: the other night. That was really nice to see, especially

1118
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: with the Mets playing so well and the Angels on

1119
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: like a five game losing streak, so that was cool.

1120
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: A worst acceptable record to me, I think, like we're

1121
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: playing ten games right on the road. Yeah, I think

1122
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: three and seven that's probably the worst acceptable record.

1123
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: The worst that I would accept is losing every series

1124
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 2: but winning a game or getting swept by the Dodgers

1125
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: and being able to win one of the series against

1126
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 2: the Angels or Padres if they at least squeak three

1127
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 2: out go three and seven. Just wind up after this

1128
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: road trip of being thirty eight and twenty one with

1129
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: an eight game lead the end least, I say, I

1130
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 2: think we're probably still okay. This will be the toughest

1131
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 2: stretch basically the entire season without any again, really Ace

1132
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 2: type pitchers in your rotation here, that's the worst acceptable

1133
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm praying if we rip five and five, if we

1134
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: can get two from the Dodgers and then and then

1135
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: win one series Padres or Angels, lose the other one

1136
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 2: Padres Angels, and it'll also don't look that good right now,

1137
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: and the Padres have got cold again, and the Dodgers

1138
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: just got fucking swept by the Pirates. I am so

1139
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 2: mad at the Dodgers right now. I hate them so much.

1140
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: I know, but this is also like a perfect time

1141
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: for them to be like, oh, yeah, we remember how

1142
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: to play. We're not playing the Pirates.

1143
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 2: That's why i'mod That's why I'm gonna be so mad

1144
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: about this, because they just lost through share games to

1145
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 2: the Pirates. Pirates also took my money on Saturday night

1146
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: when kee Brian Hayes' first time round of the year

1147
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: off of Taylor Rodgers the ninth inning, and the Dodgers

1148
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: are gonna wake up tomorrow and be like, oh, the

1149
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: Mets are coming town. Let's score fifteen runs.

1150
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: Fun fact about the Pirates the best record in the

1151
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: state of Pennsylvania.

1152
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a random stat Yeah, I know, how did

1153
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: I come up with that one? I mean, why is

1154
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: that significant at all? We used to look at the

1155
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: lug Nuts or something else out there. I don't know,

1156
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: could be some other teams semi pro double A.

1157
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think I think three and seven is

1158
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: kind of the spot we're thinking is the absolute worst.

1159
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: And I also don't think the Mets are gonna do.

1160
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: I think the Mets are gonna actually be kind of

1161
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: fine on this road trip. I'm cautiously optimistic.

1162
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way the Mets bats are rolling right now,

1163
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: the Dodgers pitchers aren't exactly the world beaders that we're

1164
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: used to seeing recently, Like Tony gon say, we can

1165
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: say most of the Dodger preview, but their rotation with

1166
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: Walker Bueler being kind of met, Julio re Is being

1167
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 2: kind of may TV being suspended, and Clinton kersh on

1168
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 2: the il like it's beatable. It's not. You're not gonna

1169
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 2: be facing the aces that you're used to. You're gonna

1170
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 2: see Tony Gonson, you're gonna see Tyler Anderson, Like these

1171
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: aren't these aren't guys who should not be able to

1172
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 2: hit again, especially with the way the Mets liamp is playing.

1173
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 2: So three and seven would I think be the worst

1174
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 2: case scenario? And I think yeah, and five hundred is

1175
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 2: gravy an think after that, I'm throwing a party.

1176
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything after that, we're pretty fucking sick. I got

1177
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: a good question for you here because I know I

1178
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: know the answer. It's gonna be super easy. I think

1179
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: you might have read it as well from Matt Young

1180
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: at Matt Young five to four seven. Should the Mets

1181
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: consider signing Dallas Kichel for more pitching depth despite his struggles?

1182
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: It seems like no risk, high reward type of move.

1183
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: So here's the thing I'll tell you, Matt. There's the Yeah.

1184
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: I agree there is no risk, but there is absolutely

1185
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: no high reward. Dallas Kykeel is not the Cy Young

1186
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: Award picture that you saw what six years ago, however

1187
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: long it was back in twenty sixteen. Dallas Kaykel stinks.

1188
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: That guy's horrible. There's a reason nobody has laid their

1189
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: hands on Dallas Kaykel after he was good. It's because

1190
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: he's not good. It's because he's bad. I think if

1191
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: the Mets were just sign a guy like Dallas Kykeel,

1192
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: that would signal to me that we're in deep trouble.

1193
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 2: I've also heard that kayke is a bit of a

1194
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: her though, but.

1195
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh, Kykeel is a big loser. I've heard that he

1196
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: is unremorseful about the cheating that went on in Houston,

1197
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: and that is a big, big problem in the clubhouse.

1198
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 2: I just I hate when people say things like they

1199
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 2: see a guy's name, they recognize it, they remember that

1200
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: wild card game he threw against the Yankees and I

1201
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 2: believe twenty fifteen, and they're like, Dallas Kykele could be

1202
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 2: a good picture, low risk, high reward. The risk for

1203
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: pitching Dallas Kaykel is losing the game you played that day.

1204
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: Like Andy Martinez returned from the depths of Hell to

1205
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 2: finally tweet and there was like, there's no risk of

1206
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 2: signing dllas Kykele's Yeah, you're risking the game that he pitches.

1207
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: That is a risk, Yeah, dude, Andy Martinez also, for

1208
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: the first time in whatever it was a month plus

1209
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: that he tweeted about Dallas Kykeel fucking limited his replies.

1210
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: So you know what that tells me he knew it

1211
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: was fucking stupid. He knew it was a dumb tweet,

1212
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: yet he still did it.

1213
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: I disagree with that. I think most Mets fans think

1214
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: that signing Dallas Kykele is a good idea. But just

1215
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: like to run through Dallas Kykel's strikeout rates over the

1216
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: last few years, twenty seventeen twenty one point four percent,

1217
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen seventeen point five percent, twenty nineteen eighteen point

1218
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: seven percent, twenty twenty sixteen point three percent, twenty twenty

1219
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 2: one thirteen point two percent, twenty twenty two to twelve

1220
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: point two percent, with at twelve point two percent walk

1221
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: rate in his handflo of starts this year, Dallas Kykel,

1222
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 2: maybe if you gave him a full offseason with a

1223
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: new club, they could find something he could do. Maybe

1224
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 2: there's one of his pitches that is performing differently better

1225
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: than the rest. I see that actually right now. He

1226
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 2: even this year had three pitches with a with frey

1227
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 2: about twenty percent, which isn't exactly good but also not

1228
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 2: exactly awful. Maybe again, like his chase rate is still good,

1229
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: but with people chase, they still make contact. Because no

1230
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 2: one WIT's against das Kyckle, because the stuff isn't real

1231
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: that great. It's bad. His change up still has a

1232
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,919
Speaker 2: lot of good drops, same with his sinker. So maybe again,

1233
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: there is something within Dallas Kykele that you could be like,

1234
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 2: we can create something out of this, but probably not

1235
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 2: in a week. You probably can't turn Dallas Kykele around

1236
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 2: and have him even pitch one game effectively before Max

1237
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 2: Schezer's due back. Like, I just don't He's bad. He's

1238
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,479
Speaker 2: really bad. He was cut for a reason. The White

1239
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: Sox desperately need pitching, Like they're opting to go with

1240
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: Jimmy Lambert over Dallas Kaikle. That gives you any sense

1241
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 2: of how well they view him internally.

1242
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: This is an organization too that like feels like they

1243
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: would love Dallas Kykle for no reason. I'll just give you,

1244
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 1: guys some numbers of guys who have similar fips over

1245
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,919
Speaker 1: the same time of Dallas Kayckle from twenty sixteen to now,

1246
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: Jeff Samarga, Matt Andreese, Chris Stratton, Jacob to Rizzy, Like

1247
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: I mean, od Rizzy's probably the better of all this,

1248
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: but like there's some names out here where like oh yeah,

1249
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. There is no risk I agree

1250
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: in the no risk, but the high reward is just

1251
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: undeniably incorrect. Dallas Kyckle at his absolute best is a

1252
00:48:59,320 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: five starter.

1253
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 2: There was a point in twenty twenty where Dallas Kyckle

1254
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 2: actually was effective over the sixty three inning shortened season.

1255
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: His whip was right around one, his ERA was under two.

1256
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: That era wasn't like a reallyra because only sixty innings,

1257
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 2: but he was effective. And in that year he really

1258
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: like tightened up his repertoire to throwing basically the same

1259
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: amount of sinkers, colors and changeups and those pitches all

1260
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 2: as far as Dallas Kykeele's arsenal like, have relatively above

1261
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: average movement profiles. But then for some reason over the

1262
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 2: last two years he's back to throwing that sinker fifty

1263
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 2: percent of the time and he gets hammered. He's throwing

1264
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: kind of still same amount of changes, but significantly less

1265
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 2: colors a pitch that was effective for him. So I

1266
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: think maybe maybe Kykele will be better than Tomas a Puky.

1267
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: I'll give him that like, he'll probably more effect him

1268
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 2: Tomas Apucky over the next couple of starts, maybe a

1269
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, but there's no way that doubt you

1270
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: guys should think Dallas Kykele could come in and be

1271
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: like a useful player over the long term for the

1272
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 2: New York Mets.

1273
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: No, it's just like simply not very good.

1274
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 2: Nah.

1275
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 1: All right, here's some fun ones. A couple of people

1276
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: Sebastian Cazorla mac at same old Mets fans, you guys

1277
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: both tweet us about Nick Plumber and basically the idea is,

1278
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: what can we expect from him moving forward? And does

1279
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: this kind of signal the end of Dom Smith with

1280
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: the New York Mets. I don't think that the signals

1281
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: the end of Dom Smith with the New York Mets.

1282
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. I think right now

1283
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: Dom Smith has zero value, so you can't even really

1284
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,959
Speaker 1: trade him for anything, which kind of sucks because maybe

1285
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: we could have traded him for something at some point

1286
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: this year. But I think more so with Nick Plumber.

1287
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: I think Nick Plumber at least gives you capable outfield

1288
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: defense with Dom's bat.

1289
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 2: Right now, I think his bad significantly better than Doms.

1290
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm pretty invested in Nick Plumber actually becoming

1291
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: a hitter that can be good. I just I see

1292
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: like the physical profile. The guy is an athlete. I

1293
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 2: see the fact that he's early put the ball in

1294
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 2: play at one hundred and thirteen miles an hour and

1295
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 2: only a few bad at balls like some of the

1296
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 2: guys in Major League Baseball Sero haven't hit the ball

1297
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 2: as hard as Nick Plumber, Jock Peterson, Byron Buxton, Trey Turner,

1298
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: Manny Machado, he Bran Hayes. None of these guys that

1299
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 2: put the ball in play one hundred thirteen miles an

1300
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 2: hour Nick Plumber has. Nick Plumber is a guy whos

1301
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 2: I good play this play. During his time of the miners,

1302
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 2: we've seen him draw a couple of tough walks, all

1303
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 2: really in just a very small sample. In the majors,

1304
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 2: we've seen Nick Plumber I mentioned before, be able to

1305
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: turn on inside fastball with the legit velocity and be

1306
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 2: able to spit on a curveball and slightly that came

1307
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 2: into a similar spot. That shows me he has at

1308
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 2: least some recognition of breaking balls. And the other big

1309
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 2: thing about Nick Plumber this kind of stupid baseball stuff

1310
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 2: right here, but he was cut by the Saint Louis Cardinals.

1311
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: And if we know anything about about young outfielders that

1312
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 2: are cut by the Saint Louis Cardinals, They almost have

1313
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 2: one hundred percent expectance rate of becoming good Major League

1314
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 2: Baseball players.

1315
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: Randia rosarina A, Dolis Garcia my forgetting anybody else.

1316
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 2: Rose Raina was traded for Libratories, So that was a

1317
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,479
Speaker 2: real move that was made, but fair and I guess

1318
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 2: I mean not cut. Also trade they let Tommy fam

1319
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: go way before they should have a Dolis Garcia. They

1320
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 2: cut him lose for no good reason. Like the Cardinals

1321
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 2: seem to just think they have more outfielders than they

1322
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 2: always do and they always seem to be good elsewhere.

1323
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, now they seem to have careers elsewhere. I was

1324
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: really uh. I felt great when our guy Jacob Resnik

1325
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: put out a tweet and I think everyone thought it

1326
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: but no one ended up doing it. Was Michael Confordo

1327
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: swinging and Nick Plumber swinging next each other. It was like,

1328
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: we didn't need Conflorida, we got Nick Plumber and he's

1329
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: got the same swing, Like who cares.

1330
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot of sweets like that, like sewing.

1331
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 2: I think jolly all have had one too. The side

1332
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 2: by side of the swings. It looks similar. Sure, I

1333
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 2: mean not that we're like swing instructors here, but we

1334
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 2: see left handed hither with power like, okay, we have

1335
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 2: something definitely no.

1336
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: I like Nick Plummer. I'm interested to see what he's

1337
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: got here. He is, at least, at the absolute worst

1338
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: way better than some of the outfielders that we've seen

1339
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: the Mets trot out there, like Aaron all Tear and

1340
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: I don't even want to think of some of the

1341
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: other names, but he's always the one I think of

1342
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: who's just so fucking bad.

1343
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 2: He looks like a ballplayer, he's hungry, he's athletic like,

1344
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 2: and he hit He's hit the ball really really hard already,

1345
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 2: So keep driving.

1346
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, to get off of the fun baseball topics here,

1347
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: let's just talk, or to get off the serious baseball topics.

1348
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: Looks talk with some fun ones here, Steve Miller, what's

1349
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: your go to meal at the ballpark? Main item, side

1350
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 1: and drink. I'll get it started. I love a Glizzie.

1351
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: We're talking hot dogs. If you don't know the cool

1352
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: hip internet lingo always got to get a hot dog

1353
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: at the game. Sides don't really do. Maybe maybe a

1354
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: pretzel I like a pretzel. A pretzel's a good side.

1355
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: The French rise at Cityfield are horrible. Nathan's French fries

1356
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: are deplorably bad. Don't pay your money for them.

1357
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 2: I will say that at city Field, Nathan's French fries

1358
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 2: at Nathan's our top notch. Some of the best French

1359
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: fries on earth. Got admit that.

1360
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's fair. Yeah, at city Field they're pretty horrible.

1361
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: As in terms of drink, I'm a corps man. When

1362
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: those mountains are blue, you can give them to you

1363
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: give them to me.

1364
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 2: That's terrible. I've had a bit of an unexpected food

1365
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: renaissance in the last year. I found out a couple

1366
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 2: months ago that I have a gluten sensitivity and that

1367
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 2: has completely rocked my world in terms of eating food

1368
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 2: at the ballpark. Before that, I loved the Battle of

1369
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 2: Free the sandwiches like that was my go to their

1370
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 2: bomb or. I would just get the nice premium sausage

1371
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: with that, and then I would always try and find

1372
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 2: a snack at some point in the game. I like

1373
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 2: the cookies that City Field puts out there. I like

1374
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 2: the little the rn C Bros, the rice balls that

1375
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: they have out there. Those are always a winner, and

1376
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: then I always just bounce around between like some of

1377
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 2: the IPAs a. City Field has the Brooklyn Brewery, a

1378
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 2: Hazey one's good, the hop Valley one's good. Or I

1379
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 2: would just have a nice Visy, nice tall Boy usyet

1380
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 2: get the mind rolling right. But now since I can't

1381
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 2: eat gluten anymore, I can't have fun, I can't be happy.

1382
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 2: I'm not bloaded, which is really cool. But they have

1383
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 2: like a little kind of secretly tucked away in around

1384
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 2: like the left field there around the right field area,

1385
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 2: Cityfield has like the World Trade Fair, and they have

1386
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 2: a bunch like a whole gluten free section. They have

1387
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 2: corn breaded tenders that really aren't that bad at all.

1388
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 2: They have burgers, turkey burgers, regular hamburgers with gluten free buns.

1389
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 2: And what I've been eating a lot at the game sushi.

1390
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 2: The sushi at city Field is actually really fucking good.

1391
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 2: It's not cheap at all, which sucks ass. You're paying

1392
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: like fifteen dollars for I think six or eight pieces

1393
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 2: of like California Roll or Spicy Tune or whatever. But

1394
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 2: it's quality food. It's you eat that and you're good.

1395
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 2: We talked to someone with the organization and said they

1396
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: bring it in from a restaurant in Corona every single day,

1397
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 2: and there's two good area for Asian food out there,

1398
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 2: so it's not bad. Also, I Mark knows this. Some

1399
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 2: people maybe following me more so closely on Twitter know this.

1400
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 2: I love bringing wild food to the ballpark. I've always

1401
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 2: since I was young, I bring crazy shit to the game.

1402
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 2: I come with a nice drawstring bag and I'm locked

1403
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 2: and loaded with snacks, food, bottle of water, my own crackerjacks. Like,

1404
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 2: I love bringing stuff to the ballpark.

1405
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, James is a is thrifty the right word?

1406
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 2: Frugal thrifty?

1407
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, frugal, thrifty, whatever it is, James will bring

1408
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: it to the ballpark if they allow him to. Last

1409
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: question here comes from Sam Hanson at Ghost twenty one.

1410
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with baseball at all. What's

1411
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: your guy's favorite dessert. I'm gonna let you go first.

1412
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 2: This one cracked me the fuck up. But I was

1413
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 2: just like scrolling through these before, I was losing my

1414
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 2: mind with the what's your favorite dessert? Like this guy

1415
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 2: was probably just like eating dessert at that moment. It

1416
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 2: was like I went to what Mark and James's favorite

1417
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 2: desserts are. I'm a chocolate man. I've always been a

1418
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 2: chocolate man. A double chocolate cake, or like a nice

1419
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 2: gooey chocolate chip cookie, or like a nice chip witch

1420
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 2: two chocolate of cookies, ice cream in between, those are

1421
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 2: my go to. I ain't like the hot, the hot

1422
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 2: dessert chocolate with vanilla ice cream. It doesn't get better

1423
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 2: than that.

1424
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: See, I'm in such a weird conundrum. You talked about

1425
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: your gluten intolerance. I no longer eat dairy, and I

1426
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: no longer eat chocolate because chocolate gives me pimples and

1427
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: dairy gives me the runs, so we avoid those at

1428
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: all costs. So vanilla ice cream, which was one of

1429
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 1: my favorite things on this planet, can't eat that anymore.

1430
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: And ice box cake, which is chocolate pudding with Graham

1431
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: crackers layered on top of each other. It's like a

1432
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: chocolate pudding lasagna. That stuff is crack. That is like

1433
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things on this planet. Now that

1434
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't get to eat it, I will simply go

1435
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: to a really really boring dessert, which isn't even a dessert.

1436
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: It's just a sweet gimme gummy bears. I'll pound pounds

1437
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: of gummy bears in one sitting and I'll be happy.

1438
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: That's all I need and I'll be a happy man.

1439
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this question is kind of going to

1440
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 2: evolve into like, what's your bodega run look like?

1441
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and gummy bears are almost always in my bodega run.

1442
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big like smoothie SMOOTHI and pretzel guy,

1443
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: peanut m and m's two peanut m and ms.

1444
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you guys can learn a lot about

1445
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: me and James here just by what our bodega runs

1446
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: are the fact that James can gets a smoothie. I've

1447
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: never considered a smoothie once in my life at a bodega.

1448
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 2: No, I mean the one player has a great trick

1449
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 2: and smoothies over there, shout out to Gormet. Well, don't

1450
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 2: tell people where I live how many Gormet Delli's are

1451
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 2: in New York City. Dude? All right, fine, fine, good

1452
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 2: shout gourmy Delli everywhere.

1453
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: But I'm leaving in a month. Whatever.

1454
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's right, who cares me through this place? Whatever?

1455
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 2: But also we've noticed that a lot of you guys

1456
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 2: did have a lot of questions about trades. We're going

1457
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 2: to talk a lot about trades in the future, it's

1458
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 2: just it's still too early to do that. Once July

1459
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: rolls around, we're probably gonna designate an entire half of

1460
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 2: an episode to trade discussion and where we can realistically see,

1461
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 2: realistically see the Mets going, see who realistically will be sellers.

1462
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 2: There were some question about the Red Sox selling. The

1463
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 2: Red Sox are one of the hotest teams in baseball

1464
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 2: right now, we still don't really know the lay of

1465
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 2: the land yet in terms of what's the end of

1466
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 2: the season going to look like, and who is going

1467
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 2: to be available and how much they're going to cost.

1468
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 2: So we're gonna get to these trade questions soon, but

1469
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 2: not until the calendar turns to July.

1470
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely. Maybe we'll have some fun. Maybe we'll see

1471
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: what MLB the show agrees with some of the trades

1472
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: that we come up with as well.

1473
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 2: It's a good idea.

1474
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'll be a fun one. All right,

1475
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: let's go ahead wrap this one up. Dodger's preview. We

1476
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: got four games right out in LA, Like, what the

1477
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: fuck is that?

1478
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 2: I don't know? I can't I can't believe we didn't

1479
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 2: have this Thursday off. I was so prepared for this

1480
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 2: Thursday off. I didn't realize we're playing on Thursday until

1481
00:57:58,560 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 2: earlier Wednesday.

1482
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: It's absolutely my stuff that we're flying to LA to

1483
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: play arguably the best team in baseball. Granted, they are

1484
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,919
Speaker 1: coming off a horrendous series and we're coming off a really,

1485
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: really hot one. I would love to know the pitching

1486
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: matchups though, that will be fun, even though we're pitching

1487
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: everybody who was in Carlos Carrasco.

1488
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 2: Pitching matchups are a little bit interesting in this one

1489
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 2: Thursday Night Tawan Walker against Tony Gonsolin. Tony Gonsolin statistically

1490
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 2: has been the Dodgers' best starting pitcher so far this season,

1491
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 2: seems to really be coming into his own, but also

1492
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 2: still has the massive problems with control that he's always had,

1493
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 2: and I'm hoping that his very patient Met's lineup, especially

1494
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 2: at the top, will be able to chase him, especially

1495
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 2: after a series with the Pirates where shockingly the Dodgers

1496
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 2: bullpen was taxed. So let's even get into that. They

1497
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 2: also don't have an off day Friday night only game

1498
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 2: of the series where I can look at the game.

1499
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 2: But like I think the Mets have advantage here. Of course,

1500
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Mets will lose this one. After I

1501
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: said that Chris Bassett versus Tyler Anderson. Tyler Anderson had

1502
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 2: an incredible month of May. Eighth highest K minus walkway

1503
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 2: in all of baseball in the month of May. Wow,

1504
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 2: how crazy is that? That as unbelievably crazy throwing like

1505
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 2: between forty and fifty percent of change ups that which

1506
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 2: I have always been his best pitch. Leave it to

1507
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 2: the Dodgers to get a new gear of Tyler Anderson,

1508
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 2: someone they picked up for free Saturday evening three straight

1509
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 2: night games here ten ten, ten o'clock Thursday, Friday Saturday.

1510
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 2: David Peterson versus Walker Bueller.

1511
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: That feels like a bad one.

1512
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 2: That does, But also Walker Bueler hasn't been that good

1513
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 2: this year. His fast bell in his last dark got

1514
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 2: no whiffs against the Pirates.

1515
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: I think that just might be Walker Buhller.

1516
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, dude, that wasn't Walker Buler last year

1517
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 2: of the year before. I think that there is something

1518
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 2: that either people have figured out about Walker Buller or

1519
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 2: maybe just like the shape of the pitch has gotten

1520
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 2: away from him. I don't know some we're going on,

1521
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 2: but I have.

1522
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: A fun take about Walker Buller that's gonna fit this agenda.

1523
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think he was particularly ever as good

1524
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: as we all thought. I think it was a Dodger's effect.

1525
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 2: I don't think that's true. I think I think it

1526
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: is back those last.

1527
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: Few years because he was real, I know, but he

1528
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: never was in the top of k rate never. No,

1529
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: of course not.

1530
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 2: But there's always great and.

1531
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: He did walk eyes. He didn't really do the stuff

1532
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: that we all love for modern pitchers, but for some

1533
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: reason everybody was enamored because he pitched seven innings, which

1534
00:59:58,120 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: is really a managerial decision at the end of.

1535
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 2: The Yeah, all right, I don't hate that take. We

1536
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 2: don't have enough time to delve into the Walker Bueler

1537
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 2: debate right now, though. And then Sunday four o'clock game

1538
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 2: Trevor Williams versus Julio Ureus, which is also just like,

1539
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 2: I don't like reading those names.

1540
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Julio Rios feels like a guy who's just gonna

1541
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: show us down, because.

1542
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 2: Of course he hasn't been that good this year though, either.

1543
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 2: He's really struggled to maintain velocity showed last year's curveball

1544
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 2: hasn't had the same bite. He looks like a guy

1545
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 2: who never threw more than seventy innings in the season

1546
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 2: and last year threw one hundred and eighty.

1547
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to be fair. While we know that

1548
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: the Dodgers pitching has always been strong, this offense, though,

1549
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: is kind of nuts, especially when Mooki Betts is playing

1550
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,479
Speaker 1: like one of the best players in the league.

1551
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Again, this offense is not nuts. Offense is fucked up.

1552
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 2: You have to start the game and you have to

1553
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 2: face in order Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman, Trey Turner.

1554
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: And then you also have guys like Max Munsey and

1555
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Justin Turner and Chris Taylor. Who know, Turner and Munsey

1556
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily playing well this year, just like Bellinger isn't.

1557
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: But I feel like you'd be foolish to think that

1558
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: these guys are. He has Monsey on the IL.

1559
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, win the IL earlier this week?

1560
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Oh great, we get to face Edvon Rios, who's sick.

1561
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 2: Ed Rios also though he he is kind of sick

1562
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 2: like in a wide scope view, especially from my fantasy

1563
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 2: Baseball players out, the Edward Rios is good production. Gonna

1564
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 2: have some good productions in next few weeks. But he's

1565
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 2: not a good fielder anywhere. He came in to play

1566
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 2: third base in the top of the ninth inning in

1567
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 2: the Dodgers game on Wednesday against the Pirates, and the

1568
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 2: Pirates literally pointed to him and said, we're going to

1569
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: hit you the ball, and they forced him to make

1570
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 2: plays and he could. They were they bumped two bats

1571
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 2: in a row and he couldn't make either play.

1572
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: I give him the Alec Bome treatment.

1573
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 2: So he I mean, he is good. Just the fact

1574
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 2: that he's the Dodgers like death piece is pretty unbelievab.

1575
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 2: We're also gonna see Kevin Pillark he start he got

1576
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 2: called up by the Dodgers. We're gonna see old friend

1577
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 2: the series, which is funny, gross. Kevin Pillar Jesus Kevin

1578
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: Lux is playing decent ball like this this line just

1579
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 2: they never let you get a second to Breathe Will

1580
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 2: Smith is not hitting well, but we know what he's

1581
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 2: capable of. Like, there's just no there's no moment of

1582
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 2: relaxation in this lineup.

1583
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: Trade Turner, I think is a twenty four game history

1584
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: going on right now. Mookie Bets has sixteen home runs

1585
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: because of course he does.

1586
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: I think Mookie Bets only had like two home runs

1587
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: in April too. So also it's a crazy Mookie Bets

1588
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: stat from Christopher Kamka, who does I think stat for

1589
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 2: NBC Sports Chicago the other day. Mookie Betts is the

1590
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 2: first player since nineteen eighty five to have scored fifty

1591
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 2: runs before his team had played fifty games. Yeah, it's gross,

1592
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,479
Speaker 2: that's that's fucked up. Last guy does, Ricky Henderson nineteen

1593
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 2: eighty five.

1594
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good, pretty good company to be in.

1595
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 2: He's an mvpk not just right now. Currently have three

1596
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,439
Speaker 2: MVP candidates to start the game.

1597
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Hey, so to the Mets. Yeah sure, so the Mets

1598
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo, franciscoldendor Brand, Nemo, and you know we have

1599
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: a fourth. You want to know what his name is?

1600
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 2: I have an idea. Guess Luis Giorme.

1601
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Louise fucking g Ormey. Baby, let's go.

1602
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 2: I can't wait to watch Luis Giram against team. But yeah,

1603
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 2: you know what, how the series has money for the Mets.

1604
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 2: Play team baseball, get some hits, drew some walks, get

1605
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 2: to this ballpen. That's good. That's not great, figure out

1606
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 2: see what you could do. We couldn't we I don't

1607
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 2: even think we won one game in LA last year,

1608
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 2: so fuck it, beat that or maybe to gram w

1609
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 2: on the one I I listen.

1610
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: I have faith in this team. This team's played so

1611
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: well over this entirety of the season. Do I think

1612
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: that this is going to be an easy series?

1613
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 2: No?

1614
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: But do I think that the Mets are incapable of

1615
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: taking this series or even you know, splitting it? Absolutely?

1616
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: Of course, they're really really good.

1617
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm just on the Mets schedule page right now, and

1618
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 2: you have the whole schedule mapped out for a few

1619
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 2: weeks and looking ahead. Sunday, June twelfth, Sunday Night Baseball,

1620
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 2: the Mets are slated to face off against Noah's yindergard

1621
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 2: oh Man.

1622
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: I wish we were in LA for that.

1623
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 2: It'd be really cool to be an Anaheim for that one.

1624
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: That would be that would be a nice game to

1625
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: get out for.

1626
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 2: I hope someone's listening.

1627
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully, hopefully some of that big news that we're teasing.

1628
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they're listening, right.

1629
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 2: I feel bad teasing this for two or full months, socks.

1630
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, guys, but we're gonna have something soon.

1631
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: The dude I met at North Carolina today is like,

1632
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: what is the news? And I was like, I can't

1633
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: tell you. You've been saying this for two months.

1634
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 2: I know.

1635
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm so excited, but I can't say anything soon. Literally

1636
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: gave someone legitimate blue balls.

1637
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 2: It's it's crazy, it's amazing.

1638
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: But anyway, guys, I think that's a perfect way to

1639
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: wrap up episode number ninety seven of the Mets Up Podcast.
