16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of the met Stub podcast,

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: Episode number ninety three, presented by the seven Line. Just

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: wrapped up a series against the Saint Louis Cardinals and

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: wish the Mets won three of four three or four something.

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: We haven't done a whole lot this year. We've been

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: winning lot of series, but we really haven't been able

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: to get those three wins.

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: So nice.

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: Actually, we've had about maybe three four game series this year,

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 3: and the second time we've gone three or four.

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: I guess that is a good point. We just don't sweep. Yeah,

27
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: we don't sweep.

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: And again we didn't sweep this one, but three of

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: four against the Cardinals, who if we've stressed all year long,

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 1: these are big series.

31
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: Even though we're not in the division.

32
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: This is this is one of our playoff contenders right here,

33
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: one of our competitors for one of those final spots. Huge,

34
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: huge series win for the Mets. A lot to talk

46
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: boys are back. You got a little bit of a

47
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: loud apartment.

48
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: You guys haven't been watching the YouTube videos probably wouldn't

49
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: get the joke much. But wherever you're living, which is

50
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: an undisclosed location.

51
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: Undisclosed location in East Williamsburg, it is so loud. It

52
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: is so unbelievably loud. I only moved like a block away,

53
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: and I moved apartments about three weeks ago. But I

54
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: didn't realize that moving from the middle of a side

55
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: street into a room on a major Brooklyn street with

56
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: my room facing the street, it gets really loud. I

57
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: can hear audibly hear songs and cars. The guys in

58
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: the dirt bikes go like one hundred miles an hour

59
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: right here, the.

60
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: Woosh pass my right past me. It's it's almost unbelievable.

61
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: Like there's the show I did for Pictureless, the First

62
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: Pitch podcast. I usually record like one am, so it's

63
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: not that big of a deal. But we try to

64
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: record this in the middle of the day. It's almost

65
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: hilariously bad.

66
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

67
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: No, we're recording at seven thirty right now. There's a

68
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: zero percent chance we could get through a clean episode.

69
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: No chance, absolutely not. And I hate to be the

70
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: bearer of bad news, but this is what we gotta

71
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: start off with let's rip the band aid off.

72
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: We know that Max Scherzer left the game early in

73
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: game three. We didn't know what was going on. We

74
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: got some insight today is no bleak injury and he

75
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: is out for six to eight weeks, which just coming

76
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: into the game. I mean, he actually happened during the game.

77
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: Happened like the fifth innch so it when I was

78
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: biking over. Happened during the game.

79
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: And I mean, talk about kicking the nuts, talk about

80
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: absolute kicking the nuts. Because yesterday everyone was speculating, trying

81
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: to figure out what it was. We had lip rereading

82
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: going on. We had everything. Thought it was a blister.

83
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: He has blisters, apparently that is a thing. We thought

84
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: maybe it was his back, Maybe it was a hamstring

85
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: he said he was tight. Ends up being the oblique.

86
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: It's a significant strain or a mild too significant, I think,

87
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: is what they're calling it.

88
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: He said high. It's significant to high or something. Yeah. Wait,

89
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: whatever the semantics are of this city, they usually report

90
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 2: those by great like a grade one, grade two, grade three.

91
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: They didn't say, because it probably means a bad grade. Yeah,

92
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: probably not a good grade.

93
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: And it's just it sucks because we haven't had Jacob

94
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: de Gram all year, and we're missing him. He's we

95
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: would be imagine how good we be with Jacob d

96
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: grom my goodness, and Max Scherzer has kind of made

97
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: it okay because he stepped right into that same role

98
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: and been our ace, been dominant, been one of the

99
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: best pitchers in baseball, and even last night, you know,

100
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: when we are recording this, he was so good that

101
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: night too, and it just it really really stinks that

102
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: we now are without two of our major pittures, along

103
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: with Tyler McGill being on the eel, the Mets are

104
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden desperately in need of pitching.

105
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: It's it's not great.

106
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: It also really sucks because all the interviews going on

107
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: mextures or last night after the game, I said it

108
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: was something that was bothering him all day, and you

109
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: almost kind of wish that they wouldn't have pushed it

110
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: when he had something bothering him, especially just knowing how

111
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: how tenuous this rotation depth really is right now that

112
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 3: part of it kind of disrupted me a little bit,

113
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: made me upset or disturbing, as as Gary Cohen called it.

114
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could go as far as disturbing,

115
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I think it's upsetting. I was like,

116
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: disturbing is that's a word, That's a word that carries

117
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot of weight, But just.

118
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: It does stink.

119
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: It's thinks the team is not gonna let it get

120
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: to them. At least it seems like right away. Game

121
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: four was a massive comfort behind team win. But you

122
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: could just feel it.

123
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: I feel like.

124
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: Amongst fans, amongst the language people on Twitter, it just

125
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: it seems this is this is not a good thing.

126
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: He's one of the best cout He's one of the

127
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 3: best players in all baseball, one of the fiercest competitors,

128
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: the most talented pitcher that was healthy in this team,

129
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: and losing him is going to be a big deal.

130
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: As we had to a bit of a tough part

131
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: of our scheduleizes it feels like every five minutes or

132
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: so during watching the.

133
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Game, I was like, God, damn, damn it. I was like,

134
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: damn it, damn it, damn it. Everything was going too well.

135
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: Max Sus was looking too good and this stupid little

136
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: injury had to pop up. I fucking hate obleaks. I

137
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: hate where is the oblique here? Side? Side? Yeah, how

138
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: do you even stretch? It was his left side, I believe.

139
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, how do you even like stretch the oblique

140
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: some over the top?

141
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, I guess some side to side motion,

142
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: wave your hands back and forth. But the Russian twist

143
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: how you work out the oblas?

144
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: So frustrating though that that's that's the news that came in

145
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: and really, what was a series that we should be

146
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: really happy about. Joy I'm definitely happy, but it does

147
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: put a little bit of a dampener on it because,

148
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, let's let's talk about the

149
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: big elf in the room.

150
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: We need we need to find pitching. We have to.

151
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: We definitely need to find pitching.

152
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: And we'll either do a segment depending onst how to

153
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: the end of this episode or the end of the

154
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: next one about finding pitching. But it's clearly the Mets needs.

155
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: They early signed Trevor k Hill to a minor league deal.

156
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: Kay Hill is a guy who he bounces around. He

157
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: pitches not very well all the time, but he does

158
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: pitch on occasion. There are some guys in the system

159
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: that my be able to give a shot to. Jose Budou,

160
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: Mike Montgomery, Thomas A.

161
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: Pucke. You might see him again.

162
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: You're the Gorena see David Peterson again, probably in the

163
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: Colorado series. There's a lot there's a lot of options. Internally,

164
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: they're not great options, but there are ways to get

165
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: through this. You just need for him or to Gram

166
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: to come back within those six to eight weeks before

167
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: this could get out of hand.

168
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, now this is this is big, and we're playing

169
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: a lot of good teams coming out of good teams.

170
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: But enough about the Max Schers or Pitty Barty, because

171
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we did have a series in which we

172
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: took three or four from the Cardinals, wore a playoff team,

173
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: and as good as Max chers there is, he didn't

174
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: pitch in every single game this series. We're still able

175
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: to get wins. He actually pitching one of them.

176
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, only only one.

177
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: Game for max Ers this series kind of crazy. Let's

178
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: start off with Game four, though, because that was the

179
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: one that just happened, and it was probably the one

180
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: of the more exciting games of the entire series. The

181
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: entire series was a pretty great series of baseball.

182
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: It's one of the most exciting games in the entire season.

183
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: It was back and forth lead changes, runs on both sides,

184
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 3: interesting managerial decisions, interesting strategic motives. There were just a

185
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: lot of moving parts in this game. It turned out

186
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: to be a really good, another really long and baseball game.

187
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a team win though, what a team win,

188
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 1: I mean start to finish. Everybody seemed to do something

189
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: well this game, and that was also something that they

190
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: did the night before too, where I think what almost

191
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: every single person in the lineup had an RBI in

192
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: last in game three, I think seven of the nine

193
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: seven seven players, seven of the nine players. So the

194
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: Mets are playing a lot better baseball. And again Game

195
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: four is started off hot, brandon Nimo doing brandon Nimo things,

196
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: get non based. Francisco Lindoor, who all the absolute I

197
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: don't want to call you guys idiots because we like

198
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: you guys listening to us, but please enough. I know

199
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Lindor isn't playing at an MVP level, and when you're

200
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: paying a guy thirty million dollars, that's what you expect.

201
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: I get it, I can see the thought process behind it.

202
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: But you have to know that this isn't nineteen sixty baseball.

203
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: This is nineteen seventy baseball. Just because their Francisco Indoor

204
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: isn't hitting what two eighty four?

205
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: Like the guy tweets two and four some guy today,

206
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: I had a tweet that it didn't go viral, but

207
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: I got like almost two thousand likes about me saying

208
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: seemed like some Mets fans really against versiscol Indoor, like

209
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: they want him to be bad so they can like

210
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: capitalize on a take that they hope hopefully've gotten correct.

211
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: He tweeted me in all caps like two days almost

212
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: lay there. I want him to be eighty four. I

213
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: don't know how you settle in that number. So if

214
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: you're listening to this guy who responded to me, how'd

215
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: you find the to eighty four?

216
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: Where'd that another come from? Please let me know, Like

217
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: I get it.

218
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I used to be a batting average guy, but as

219
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: you learn, as you start to watch more and more baseball,

220
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: you realize that, like, yeah, hits are nice, but it's

221
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: extra basis. Singles really aren't any different than walking.

222
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: And and that on base percentage is big and physiscal

223
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: Indoor is one of the best on bass guys in

224
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: the team that we're just going to a Francisco Indor

225
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: and di I try but listening on the radio today,

226
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: Howie and Wayne will always do like a pregame thing

227
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: with Buck show Walter where the bounced questions off each other,

228
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: and they say that they like doing that with Buck.

229
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: He's yeah, pretty fun guy. And they said that Buck

230
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: came prepared to that little like meeting today with like

231
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: some media people with tons of stats. San Franciscal indoors

232
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: are really good. That so far in his team this year,

233
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: like you know, going into this game today is so true.

234
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: After mcdeal might have got ahead of him, but Lindor

235
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: was second on the team and both RBIs and home runs.

236
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, like one of the highest on base percentages

237
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: on the whole team, second and stolen basis on the team.

238
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: Still playing great defensive shortstop. The guy's really good.

239
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: That's not like for a bad team either. We are

240
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: one of the five best teams in baseball right now.

241
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: He had six home runs and twenty twenty two RBIs

242
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: heading into the day at the quarter point of the season.

243
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: That's on paced for twenty four home runs and eighty

244
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: eight RBIs, which would be great for Fransisco season for anybody.

245
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: But people want to see him hit two eighty four

246
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: though of course he got hit too, eighty four you

247
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: want to make it thirty four million dollars. Also, Mark

248
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: and I looked back at this today because Mark's roommate

249
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Alex asked us if Francisco Lindor is playing to the

250
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: worthless contract, and we both snapped said no, because it

251
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: will seem like on the surface he's not really playing

252
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: as a thirty four million dollars type player.

253
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: We look back on fangrass.

254
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: That has a dollars per war calculation for every player

255
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: in the league and what their value is actually worth,

256
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: and Francisco Lindor in twenty twenty one, and statistically by far,

257
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: the worst season of his whole career, was worth thirty

258
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: three point nine million dollars based on fangrass dollars per

259
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: war calculation.

260
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty games on hundred twenty games. Yeah,

261
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: but one hundred and twenty five hundred twenty.

262
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: Eight not even full season. No, so he was basically

263
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: worth what we pay him. Now again, I'm sure the

264
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: people that are against him are gonna hate him, and

265
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: also what we just said is not gonna make them,

266
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: not gonna change it, but his mind, the people who

267
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: hate them, No, by no means. It's it's a thing

268
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: like people would rather be right than admit that they're wrong.

269
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: And I just don't understand the Mets fans that want

270
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: to root against francisc will indor he is here for

271
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: the next ten years. Why do you want to be miserable?

272
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: We have so many things to be excited about. This

273
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: is like, this is nonsense, This is childish shit.

274
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: It's also like people are he's awful, he's hurting the team.

275
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: That's just not true. Yeah, that's that is patently incorrect.

276
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: It's patently incorrect.

277
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: He's better hitded than the league average and significantly better

278
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: fielded than league average.

279
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: He is very valuable to a baseball team.

280
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: It might not look the way you thought it was

281
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: going to look. He's not Fernando Tatis. Yep, He's not

282
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: Trey Turner. He probably at this point is even Carlos Korea,

283
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: because Carols Craize is just hidden tanks.

284
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: Not this year. Actually cars Crazy is not well but

285
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: this year. But he's not.

286
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: I guess, I mean, maybe he was build to us

287
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: as such as this elite hitting shortstop who's going to

288
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: be in an MVP conversation, we could still be worth

289
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: thirty million dollars to year team without that being true. Yeah,

290
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: and Lindor does as I said first, sending him Nemo

291
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 3: getting on and then Alonso knock.

292
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: It's a really nice way to start this game. Yeah.

293
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: Another cool thing I liked when this game began was

294
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: that when Brandon Nimmo got that single and Mark Hanna

295
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: was up, Buck.

296
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: Showalter put him in motion. I think what was the

297
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: three two pitch? Yeah? How did I forget? How did

298
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: I forget? Marky cheerios? Yeah? Well he it was a

299
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: ground ball, wasn't a hit? Well?

300
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Dakota Hudson is a ground ball merchant. He's

301
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: a guy who was one of the highest grandall rates

302
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: the league. He's only going to even keeps him in

303
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: this league because stuff isn't that good. And he takes

304
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: thirty eight seconds literally between every single pitch.

305
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: For so long.

306
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 3: Knowing the ground ball tendencies with Canada, the plate bucks

307
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: at Nemo in motion. Hit a groundball to Arnado would

308
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: have been a double play, or at least could have

309
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: gotten the force at second then moved it over the

310
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: first didn't happen Brandon when Newt standing on second base,

311
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 3: So we had a man scoring position, and of course

312
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: it all ended up being the same because Francisco Lindor

313
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: Drew walk the next batther But if we had a

314
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: double play there in second back of the game with

315
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: a races hole inning, wouldn't had the chance to score

316
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: the runs like we did.

317
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: So it was cool. That was good imagining a buck

318
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: wall buck Shoalter getting this team to be aggressive early.

319
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: They also got that sweet double steal, which was nice

320
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: getting aggressive with Andrew Kisner behind the plate.

321
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: A lot of talk about YACHTI not being or you

322
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: don't run on yacht.

323
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: As soon as Kidner gotten the game, they seemed like

324
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: we're like, we're running and then Kidner.

325
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: Ended up leaving the game a little bit later. But yeah,

326
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: it was a good way to start off the game.

327
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: Felt good. Met's got runs again the first inning, which

328
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: just seems to be a theme with this team. This

329
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: made eight out of nine games where they've got to

330
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: run the first inning. Yeah, no, it's great. It was

331
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: a great start.

332
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: Un Fortunately though, we come out for the next inning,

333
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: big old home run from your boy Wan yepez off

334
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: Chris Bassett, I mean absolute hanger and he crushed it one.

335
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: Yep, is a really good hitter.

336
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: I know he didn't have a great series by any means,

337
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: but in Game four, what he go three for four?

338
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: I mean pretty sad.

339
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he just takes god of that bats.

340
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: He seems like a very good ball player, does a

341
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: lot of things well, and you kind of just stick

342
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: that guys. Put his locker right in between Paul Goldschman,

343
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: Nolan ar Andato.

344
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: And next to Albert Poolos as well.

345
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just love them talk to each other. There's

346
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: like no doubt he's gonna become a good player, and

347
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 3: he has all the tools.

348
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: It seems like he could do it.

349
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschman continued to terrorize this series. That dude is

350
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: an absolute stud. He just continues to be one of

351
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: the more underappreciated players, I think in all of baseball,

352
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: just because he's just like kind of like a boring

353
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: white guy.

354
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's no other way to say.

355
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 3: He played in Arizona and Saint Louis. Yeah, Hallie Rose

356
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: gave him a Hall of Fame shot out in the radio.

357
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: Bro Dude, I've been saying it for a while. I

358
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: think he's very much on track to be a Hall

359
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: of Famer. If he continues to play well as his

360
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: career gets older. If I'll gets in, he'll get in.

361
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: For sure. I think he's better than the motto. But anyway,

362
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 2: I digress the thing. I don't even remember who had

363
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: a double.

364
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: Whatever it was, Well, there was a situation, and I

365
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 3: believe it was the top of the fifth inning where

366
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 3: the Cardinals had a rally that winds up hiding this game.

367
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 2: They started out with a Tommy. He had been leadoff double.

368
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: He was leading. He's leading off the innings, also the

369
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: leadof hitting in this lineup.

370
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 3: And for some reason, we talked about batting Owyers a

371
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: lot in the way team structure, batting orders.

372
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: The Cardinals have Brendon Donovan, newly major newly minted Major leaguer.

373
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 3: Brandon Donovan, a guy who is an even older minor

374
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: league He's like twenty seven years old, right.

375
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: He's playing well too. Yeah, he's really well good ballplayer

376
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: for sure.

377
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: It seems like he's the kind of guy who will

378
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: stick on a major league roster and help out. But

379
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 3: he's hitting second, and with a man on second, nobody out.

380
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: In the fifth inning of a Thai game, Olie Marmole

381
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: decided to put the bunt sign on for Brendon Donovan.

382
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: Someone who coifi said in over one thousand minor league

383
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: play the appearance.

384
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: Had never bumped it.

385
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: It's crazy and for some reason, and again the fifth

386
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: inning of a taigh game as.

387
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: An Awaight team too.

388
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, with the fifth inning of a Thai game with

389
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: the media, your order behind you, with the media of

390
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 3: your order being Paul Goldschman, Nolan Arnardo.

391
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: And Jan Yepez.

392
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: For some reason, you're trying to sacrifice an out there.

393
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: And Donovan who quickly went down oh two failing to

394
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: get two bunts down. He did make the play that

395
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: was intended for him to make by hitting a ground

396
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 3: ball to the right side moved the runner over. But

397
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: this is the opportunity to have a big inning and

398
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: again a tie game in the fifth inning for.

399
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: Your two hitter, yes, two hitter. And this is what

400
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: we talk about too all the time with lineup construction. Two.

401
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: Why we vouched that you need to have your best

402
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: hitters hitting one, two, three in this lineup is because

403
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: there's really no world where your two hitter in the

404
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: tie game with no outs like that should be bunted

405
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: in the fifth n team in the fifth it was

406
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: too early in the game.

407
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: This was the eighth inning maybe, and you want to

408
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: squeak out a lead to get like to get your

409
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: back your bullpen in the mound. Like I could understand

410
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: it a little bit in the fifth inning. You're giving

411
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: up your shot at a big inning.

412
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: And of course, right after the bunch it didn't matter

413
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: at all because Paul GOLs Schmid lays the double. The

414
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: runner score now gold Shmith standing on second base. And

415
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: then we did get out of it because.

416
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: Chris Bassett, Gottado and one y pez yepes yepes, one yepez.

417
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: I keep saying, one you pez, one yepez.

418
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: But if they didn't give us that first out of

419
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: the inning, like there's what conservatively a twenty two percent

420
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: chance that brand Domand just gets a hit, Yeah, a

421
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: thirty percent chance he just reaches base.

422
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: You're handing us in out.

423
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: You gave it to us that bunted attempts and just

424
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: the idea that brand Diamand was up there to give

425
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: himself up that kind of saved the Mets here and

426
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: kept him in this game. Early only got the Cardinals

427
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,359
Speaker 3: ahead by one run for sure.

428
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: For sure, and like Dakota Hudson.

429
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: Of course, like we mentioned, he was in the game,

430
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: but luckily after this inning, yeah, we were able to

431
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: knock him out because he's just not good.

432
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: No, yeah, he's not good.

433
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: All It started off with a loud y army double

434
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: who's just a great hitter, ops overheight one hundred.

435
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: Dude. We were so cash money with King Louis. I mean,

436
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: he's took a year. Took a year. It took a year.

437
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: But if you guys go back to some of the

438
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: first episodes, I mean, go back to the season preview,

439
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: we were hyping up Luiski or May and he's doing

440
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: the exact role we expect him to do last year,

441
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: which is playing second, playing third, playing short, getting in

442
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: the line of pinch hitting and making an impact every

443
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: single game. He's hitting the ball hard, he's getting on base,

444
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't strike down when he plays great defense. This

445
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: guy deserves to play every single day. And I think

446
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: you can probably tell Bucks taking a liking to him.

447
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: Because he's playing a lot more recently.

448
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: Of course, there's no reason for him not to be playing.

449
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: Statistically right now, he's one of the best hitters on

450
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: this team.

451
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: Which is funny.

452
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: It's like just so funny to say for a guy

453
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: who nobody came into the year saying he would be

454
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: one of the best hitters in this line.

455
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: I mean, for all the old head, the batting average people.

456
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: He's hitting over the three. He was over his first

457
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: like eleven this year before he shaved the beard. Once

458
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: he shaved the beard, all changed, it all changed. And

459
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: you know what, I love that too. That's a guy

460
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: who's committed to the game. I mean, definitely guys committed

461
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: the game. Indin't debut till he was about twenty five

462
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: after being drafted of the high school.

463
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: The guy is a grinder.

464
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: He does so many tiny things well and having him

465
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: to bomb this iler helps us move it around. And

466
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: he eventually came around to score on a ground ball

467
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: by Brandon Nemo And then we had a little bit

468
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: more of a rally, winds up knocking to go to

469
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: the huts side of the game with a Cana single,

470
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: a Lindor single, and Lonzo walk and Jeff McNeil a

471
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: big two out RBS single. Something he made a real

472
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: habit of of doing this entire series.

473
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: He's so sick, man said, he's so back. He had

474
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: a game today a couple of hits. I think, right,

475
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: how many times Mark and has said Jeff McNeil's back.

476
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it every single episode until the Mets

477
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: win the World Series at the end of the year,

478
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: and if they do, I'll say it next year to him.

479
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: He's so back.

480
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: Remember when people wanted him traded. Remember when that was

481
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: the thing the Mets were looking to Tradejeff McNeil. We're

482
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: looking to see what they could get for him. It's just

483
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Might I sent a message to him and listen,

484
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's what he needed. Maybe it's what he needed.

485
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: We saw he was at the Rangers game too. Him

486
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: and Lindor had that little thing. They were sitting next

487
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: to each other, pounding beers.

488
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: That's that's all I want.

489
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: I want him and Lindor to be friends forever and

490
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: be the middle infield for the future.

491
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: Great. I mean they are right now. I mean the future.

492
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: We'll see how long the future takes. But the middle

493
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: infield right now. But something we talk about a lot

494
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: on the show too. Chris Bassett after the Mets took

495
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 3: a rally, had the rally to take a.

496
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: Two run lead.

497
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 3: He had a shut down inning, put the Cardinals down

498
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: in an order and just kind of cemented another really good, solid,

499
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 3: steady Chris Basses start. He wound up getting kind of

500
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 3: got worked out there for the seventh he got knocked out.

501
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: But this is now, in the wake of the shars

502
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: or injury, Chris Bassett becomes a guy who we need

503
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 3: to just protect with everything that we possibly have.

504
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: Chris Bassett's our number one. He's our ace, Chris Bassets

505
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: our ace.

506
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: Right now, I only feel that bad as say, we

507
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: should put this guy in bubble wrap in between his

508
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: starts and make sure he is safe healthy.

509
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: Okay, don't even send him to Colorado. Don't let him go,

510
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: and don't let him on the don't let him on

511
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: a plane.

512
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: No, don't altitude altitude sickness. That's the worst thing that

513
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: could happen right now, don't let Chris Bassett go to Colorado.

514
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: Just send him to San Francisco after this game.

515
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: I don't even like that that much. Listen.

516
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: Just put him in a nice hotel, put him into

517
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: four seasons. Oh, let him be comfy, room service, whatever

518
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: he wants. Protect him at all costs.

519
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And this.

520
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 3: Was a game that was probably statistically under the hood

521
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: one of Bass's not so good games compared to the

522
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: rest of the year. Only nine wests in this one,

523
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: very low mark for him. But like just steady, steady, steady, steady.

524
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 3: He threw all six pitches again, which is such a

525
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: cool thing. We've kind of seen him this year have

526
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: some looks like communication issues with whoever's catching, just going

527
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: through signs over and over and over again.

528
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: And I really think that's just because he has six pitches.

529
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's so few guys in baseball half six pitches,

530
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 3: Like the Mets still runs the traditional signs with fingers.

531
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: How do you how do you taken a six pitch fist?

532
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 3: I think fist you want to fist is normally their

533
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: pitch out, and then I think like thumb is usually

534
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 3: pick off for reason all of those, Yeah, I have

535
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: no six pitches. He's throwing six pitches out there. It's

536
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: hard for a catching to keep I know pitch com

537
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 3: how I have a six button.

538
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: That's a really good point.

539
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: I even thought about maybe that's why he can't use

540
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: PitchCom there's too many pitches.

541
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: Mayan, does you darbis shoes? We got to find out

542
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: padre Zah will take a look at that for the

543
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: next episode.

544
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: I actually know, maybe we'll take a look at that

545
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: for a few weeks before we play against Yeah yeah, yeah,

546
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 3: that'd be cool, serious to go to. But everything was

547
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 3: good for Bassett again. He threw the sixth inning and

548
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 3: it looked good. He only had about ninety pitches after

549
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: a very quick six shot anything. Like we mentioned, try

550
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 3: to trash him out for the seventh because this bullpen

551
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: is just beleeered after the double Heather from Wednesday, basket

552
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 3: gave is what we needed and that's very important.

553
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I mean kind of jump to the

554
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: ninth inning now, right, Yeah, you might as well jump.

555
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: To the ninth freaking god man, Harrison Bader. That dude's

556
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: so annoying.

557
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: He's a solid ballplayer. I don't think he's particularly great.

558
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: I think a good ball player. He's good.

559
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 3: He's the kind of guy who he comes up you'd

560
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: like you develop that guy internally and he comes up

561
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: and you're just high fiving each other because you got

562
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: gold Glove defensive center field and the guy who's not

563
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: a train wreck at the play for free.

564
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he'd be a great nine hitter. I love

565
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: him to hit ninth in this lineup kind of.

566
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: I mean he's like he's like every team has a

567
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: guy like that, Like he's kind of like a guy

568
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: or mash Yeah.

569
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: A little bit, a little bit.

570
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: And he did a Harrison batter thing, just hit a

571
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: little chopper in between where he's like third and short

572
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: and he just he just beat it out.

573
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: I mean, another doint.

574
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: It felt like the Cardinals if they weren't hitting home runs,

575
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: We're just dinking and doinking it all over the place

576
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: all series long. He ended up stealing second because that

577
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: when Diaz is on the mount, he just can't hold on. Guys.

578
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: It's just not a thing when he's got too much

579
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: moving parts. And to be honest, I want him focusing

580
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: on pitching the ball.

581
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 2: I only have when you have to run the ball

582
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: first base. Have we ever seen him pick off?

583
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe one of those like step off, but then

584
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 1: you like, yeah, the lollipop over because I don't want

585
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: to throw it away. Ground ball by Molina got into

586
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: the third base, who had an annoying at back because

587
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: he's cots Yatta air. Molina threw a pitch out a

588
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: Slyther and him and Edward had a nice laugh about it,

589
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: like in between the he literally threw his bat, the

590
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: bat left his hands to make contact with a slyther.

591
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: We then got the huge k of Tommy Edmond on

592
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: a pitch up and in on the zone for a

593
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: called strike three, which is a spy. You never see

594
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: a called strike three.

595
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: That call was very nice call by the ump there.

596
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge, huge call, especially for a guy who doesn't

597
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: strike out and just always puts the ball in play.

598
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: And we're like, oh, Edwin, Now you get the face

599
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan again.

600
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: Why are you hitting this guy too? No, he's playing well,

601
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: but this lineup, it's crazy that Aeronaut and gold Schmian

602
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: don't hit two and three or even Yepez.

603
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's criminal. It's criminal with how much good

604
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: hitters they do have. And then he had four bitch

605
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: walk to Donovan and it felt like the the wind

606
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: the air was being sucked out again.

607
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 2: Kind of got that feeling of like, uh, oh.

608
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: You got that feeling where if we leave this inning tide,

609
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 3: I will be okay with it.

610
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Yes, and I mean me and you were saying that

611
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: we watched the game. We're like, if we get out

612
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: of this five five, yeah, we're okay. We just have

613
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: to keep it five to five. You were not saying that.

614
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: I said five. We were talking about that in the

615
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: tenth inning, ninth inning, you were like, we're lying to

616
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: win get away. Yeah, I mean I was nervous. I

617
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: wasn't feeling great. No.

618
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: I was very much like, Okay, this is big Fredwen

619
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: because we've seen him in these scenarios before and he

620
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: has a tend to snowball the mistakes and give up

621
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: a huge inning. But Edwin's a different picture this year.

622
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: We know that, and you know, Goldie had a tough

623
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: at bat. He ended up paying a self ground ball

624
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: to short or third base, escalbar booted it. That tied

625
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: the game, and it was like, oh man, so so close.

626
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: It again kind of felt like everything got sucked out

627
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: of the stadium. That was when the tie ball game happened.

628
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 3: It was this was like the worst possible day to

629
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: have an Edwin Diaz blown save, After people were rallying

630
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: against Francisco Lindor, after you learned that you weren't gonna

631
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 3: have Max Scherzer for probably about two full months. This

632
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 3: is not It was not a good day for edwind

633
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: Ds to blow a safe.

634
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 2: No, it was not. He walked Aeronatto.

635
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: Yes, control, control is very shake your fred when this ending.

636
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: Once he struck out Tommy Edmund, once he got a gift.

637
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 3: It's almost like the baseball Kara went against DS for

638
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: that and then just you couldn't he couldn't find his

639
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 3: right So it almost seemed like he was also scared

640
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: to throw his slider for a good quality ten bitches

641
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 3: just because the man on third Like that is such

642
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 3: a scary proposition, like blowing a save on a ball

643
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 3: that's booted is rough. Yeah, if you would have blown

644
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: a save on a wild pitch or a pass ball,

645
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 3: like you would have been beside yourself. Thing I want

646
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: to hear from that's fans little right, it looked like

647
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: he would just seemed to be overthinking a little bit.

648
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: And then when Edward overthinks his mechanics were crazy, just

649
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: are flying everywhere all the limbs.

650
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: But uh, he got the huge k of one Yepez.

651
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: There was a bottom ninth and we were feeling good

652
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: because the top of the order. But it's just kind

653
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: of easy, I mean, not great at bats by particularly

654
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: Nimo hit the ball hard.

655
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah he hit the ball hard.

656
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: But it's just right at somebody who's at Brennan Donovan

657
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: or Tommy Edmond, who's ever playing second base.

658
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 3: There's also another instance of where you see why you

659
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: should do everything you can to have your best heads

660
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: at the top of the order, because there's a chance

661
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 3: if the Cardinals had gotten another run in this game,

662
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: and the Mets did go down one, two, three in

663
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 3: the ninth, you would have left this game with Mark

664
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 3: Hanna having in a bat inan situation instead of pee Alonzo. Yeah,

665
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: and we all saw very quickly later on how important

666
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: an extra pe Alonzo a bat can be for a team.

667
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: Yes, because after we went to extras, Colin Holderman gave

668
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: up one, which is a pretty good job. A guy

669
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 1: who has been hanging out in the miners going up

670
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals.

671
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 3: He very much looks good. Another call by us, Yeah,

672
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 3: he looks. He looks like he was sick of this bullpen.

673
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, Like Miguel Castro, who we got you weight,

674
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: Polderman now, baby did a really really good job.

675
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: And then of course we start off the inning. Pete A.

676
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Lon's about to play Francisco Lindoor on second bang walk

677
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: off home run, an absolute new kid up to the

678
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: Coors lights, skyline, which I was sitting in for Game three. Man,

679
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: what a great ending to a day because boy, oh boy, did.

680
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: The Mets needed did Mets fans need it?

681
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: Think for everyone's psyche to win that game was really

682
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: really important to not be like the sky is falling.

683
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: We could we had a scenario where we lose Max

684
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: Suers or below the lead, edwin ds blows a game

685
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: and Francisco Lindor strikes out in the ninth inning to

686
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: lose the game.

687
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: And you have blown a series. Yeah, and we would

688
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: have blown winning a series.

689
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: That would have been sky is falling, even though that

690
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: would have been crazy, but you could see how that

691
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: would happen. Luckily he did not, and the Mets just

692
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: roll on and get three or four right there.

693
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely one of the quickest blown says literally in the

694
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: history of baseball to two pitches for Gievonnie Geta goes

695
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: to blow this.

696
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: Which is awesome because it seems like the Mets to

697
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: see him really really well, incredibly well, really well.

698
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: And this was an interesting game too because both teams,

699
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we Saidnton doink.

700
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: A little bit.

701
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: I didn't even realize the Cardinals like the late late

702
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: rallies were Dington doing, but they were hitting the ball.

703
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: Harlot past Yeah, fifteen hard hit balls.

704
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: Met's had thirteen. Almost every single player in both lineups

705
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: had a hard hit ball except the catchers Andrew Kistner

706
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: and Tomas Neto. No hard hit balls amongst those two.

707
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: YACHTI I don't think had one either. But regardless, Mets win.

708
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the rest of the series now, because

709
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: there was obviously other games that went on.

710
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 2: This was just the most recent one. It was a

711
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 2: well played series. All of the games were good.

712
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: We had the double header because of the day that

713
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: it didn't rain that they very well.

714
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 3: It rained a little bit there was they probably could

715
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 3: have found a way to play. But what they said

716
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: when they canceled it, like the language they used was

717
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: they were worried about people coming to the park. Interesting,

718
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: so like the people coming from Jersey, the people coming

719
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 3: from Long Island.

720
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: The storm hit worse in those areas.

721
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: So while it didn't rain that much in Queen's I

722
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: don't think they wanted to put pressure on people to

723
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: come because they paid for a ticket already.

724
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair. I mean we did get the

725
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 1: double header, which I'm so tired of doubleheaders.

726
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: I thought we were done with him after last year. Yeah,

727
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: we might, we might have another one coming up.

728
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Saturday again awful and we had Trevor Williams

729
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: on the mound for Game one, and of course Trevor

730
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: Williams was.

731
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: Kind of really good.

732
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: Shout to Trevor Williams and Jake Yeah and Jake Read.

733
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: Those guys really were awesome in game one for us.

734
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: No, those two guys combined for six innings, six innings,

735
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 3: I think.

736
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: Eight strike outs. Like, these guys were great.

737
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 3: Trevor Williams got the most whists I ever remember him

738
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 3: getting in a game with the meth twelve eleven of

739
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 3: those twelve on his just ninety three mile a hour fastball.

740
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: What's his deal? I think it was just one of

741
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: those days, just one of those days where we're like,

742
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: it's a doubleheader, it's early, yeah, and Trevor Williams throwing strikes.

743
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to hit it, but hey, he went

744
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 3: out there for gray four innings with Trevor Williams. Proud

745
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 3: of Buck for not trying to stretch him through it

746
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: to get to see the lineup again.

747
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: Big yes, Big, and then he did the thing that

748
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: I was asking for him in the last episode, which was,

749
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have Jake Reid on the roster in

750
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: the fifth inning of the game, you have to use it.

751
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: And he did.

752
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: And while it was a little shaky at the start, yes,

753
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: Jake Reid ended up cleaning it up and having a

754
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: really nice.

755
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: Outs like pretty good. He's just funky.

756
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: He's funky, something different, something that the Mets don't have

757
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: in this you know, plethora of pitching that we got.

758
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: If you look at some of the smart teams of

759
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: baseball teams they referenced all the time, teams like the Rays,

760
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, the Giants, Milwaukee, they always all their believers

761
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 3: throw from a different arms slot. There's a cool visual

762
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: that was put out I think by COVID five few

763
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 3: years ago, or might have been drive Line where it

764
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 3: showed the raised bullpen and they basically like transposed the

765
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: raised bullpen onto it like they made the clock and

766
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: they had a picture of every single Rays reliever in

767
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: the middle of their release and it was basically they

768
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: covered the entire clock, like every single angle from from

769
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: both sides do it. And that's what Jake Reed gives

770
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: and he got a very big strikeout of Nolan Arnado

771
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 3: in the fifth with two men on and completed two

772
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: scoreless innings. And these two guys, Trevor Williams and Jakereed,

773
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: two guys who most Mets fans would have not dreamed

774
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: of them being near a game in the middle of May,

775
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 3: wound up to Facto having a good start, six innings,

776
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: no run.

777
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: We talk about created player names all the time. These

778
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: are two created players. J Trevor Williams for sure are

779
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: these are creaated player player would be the show right now.

780
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: You can find these guys in the free agent pool

781
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: one and it's not the real player.

782
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: And now, given us the.

783
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 3: Circumstances we're going to be dealing with, we need more

784
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 3: guys like this to step up. And this was a

785
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 3: good step in the right direction to use the word

786
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 3: step twice in a row there for the Mets pitching depth,

787
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: as we were going to lean on them more than

788
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: we have so far this year.

789
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: Yep.

790
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: And it was kind of like a fun little game

791
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: too because everyone was kind of pitching in. We had

792
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: Jankowski having a big fielder's choice, which was really cool

793
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: to do. It is just he's scrappy man. He's scrappy

794
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: and might be Shakira's favorite.

795
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: Met that on Instagram. Yeah, it was really cool. Yeah.

796
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: She posted pictures of when she came to City Field,

797
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: I think last week, and the only picture that she

798
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: posted of with a player was with Travis Shankowski, and

799
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: she made a point to say, met Travis Shankowski.

800
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: There's two things that could have happened there.

801
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: One Either Shakira was like, oh, this guy's tall, he

802
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 3: has long hair, he's blonde, like I like that guy.

803
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 3: Or two, Shakiro doesn't know anything about any baseball at all,

804
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: and she was like, I want to be the player.

805
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 3: And then they were like, uh, Travis came here, he

806
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: was just closest. And then she's like, got picture of

807
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: Travis Shankoski. She thought he was like a great player.

808
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: Tell me franciscool a door and Starling Marte and Edward Uskbordo, No, Shakira,

809
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they do, but I'm sure they

810
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: maybe they weren't around, like I don't know, I think,

811
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: or you know, sometimes you kind of like what you

812
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: don't have.

813
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 2: She's true, it's married to PK. Yeah, peak physical athlete. Yeah,

814
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 2: pe physical. I think, give me that skinny blonde whe guy.

815
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: They give me the surfer looking over. But yeah, jay

816
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: Kowski making an impact as he always does with the legs,

817
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: something that we've lacked forever. And then McNeil and Dom

818
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: two big doubles, Yeah, which were great for us in

819
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: this game, especially because Dom, we've been mentioning, had been

820
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit swinging the bat.

821
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: A little bit better. Yeah, a little bit ain't meant

822
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: to be better than what we have been seeing. So

823
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: it's nice. We just got to michaelass got to him,

824
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: got to the bullpen.

825
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: He kind of got to him, but you didn't get

826
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: to him as much as you kind of hope to

827
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 3: get to him. The first three innings, the Mets really

828
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 3: had him on the ropes. First two especially, he threw

829
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: over fifty pitches. Like you thought in the first game

830
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 3: of a double header that if you got to Miles,

831
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: michaelis like that, a guy who the last time we

832
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: faced them was really annoying because you felt like you

833
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: could hit him, but you couldn't hit him. Now felt

834
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 3: like we were actually hitting him. You knock him out

835
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: of the game. Third fourth inning, you're gonna run ravage

836
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: on a Cardinals bullpen. That's one game completely sacrificed. In

837
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: the second game, you probably have an advantage, but he

838
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: just freaking just got people out and you got through

839
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: six ings. Kind of saved the Cardinals bullpen. Him and

840
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: their bass lalled against Packy not it. Oh my god,

841
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: to have these two guys have complete eight innings in

842
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: this game, save the Cardinals for the second game as

843
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: double header.

844
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: Packing not Pagys.

845
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: He's literally named after a liquor store, Packing not gross.

846
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: On the bullpen side, Drew Chains gave up another home run.

847
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: This was his third outing in a row. With the

848
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: home run, I believe Paul gold Schmidt. I mean, it

849
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: was a really good pitch. It was a bizarre home run.

850
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: It kind of showed like the essence of what these

851
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: new baseballs are and how to actually get out of

852
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: the park because Goldschmitch just kind of like threw the

853
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: bath head on it.

854
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: I don't remember if it was a slider, a fast

855
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: fastball outside. It was off the plate, yeah, like low

856
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: middle yeah, but Goldsmid's got the head on it, and

857
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: it's just kind of just soared through the air like

858
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: kind of cut through the afternoon air because it wasn't

859
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: very a latch angle twenty four degrees compared to the

860
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: one we talked about from Friday from Pee Lonzo being

861
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: thirty two degrees, same miles an hour though, one hundred

862
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 2: two off the bat as piece from the other night

863
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: and just kind of like just shot through the air

864
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: and got out. Yeah, in a three run game, solo

865
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: home run not gonna kill you.

866
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: Maybe this could be a thing with Drew Smith now

867
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: he was starting to get more tape on him. He's

868
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: really been only throwing those two pitches all year. Might

869
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 3: be suceptible, susceptible to the home run ball, but sorry,

870
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: solo home run?

871
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: Will you gonna do? Edwin d made it interesting, but

872
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: we got the W.

873
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: It was cool too quick outs and then two guys

874
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: got on and then he found it, but yeah.

875
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: He found it. It was good Game one in the books,

876
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: got the W. Game two.

877
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: We were at the bar. We were watching this. Shout

878
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: out to our boy Drew.

879
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: It was his birthday, so.

880
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: We're getting some drinks and I had the best chicken

881
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: tenders of my life at this place.

882
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: Very not gluten free friendly bar. Yes, so we won't

883
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: shout it out, but I will say that Chicken Tenders

884
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: were bombed.

885
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: Because it was a good bar. In general, I'm not

886
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: gonna say it wasn't a good bar. And these guys

887
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: were graving about chicken Tenders, which was just making me

888
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: the die inside. I love chicken Tenders, but no gluten

889
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 3: free options, like basically in the whole menu.

890
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: So we were watching Game two and it was just

891
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: it was annoying from the start.

892
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just one of those games.

893
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: Everything about it. I mean, we're facing Steven matt who

894
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: I hate. Steven Matts, good guy, hated as a baseball player.

895
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: Boy did he stink for us, But the fact that

896
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: we were really able to get to him. We got

897
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: the home run early from Mark Canna because Marky Cheerio's

898
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: crushes left handed pitching, especially at City Field, Max Reed

899
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: and Steven Matts now it's crushing the left handed pitching.

900
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: And then that just like it kind of was. That

901
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: was it. We had the home runs, which is weird.

902
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: We don't normally hit them.

903
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: This game was weird for the Mets because we've like

904
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: very much didn't deserve to win it, but we also

905
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: really easily could have.

906
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Cardinals out hit us. They played a better

907
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: game I think by all aspects.

908
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 3: But the Cardinals also were just kind of getting those

909
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 3: cheap o hits like they had I think it was

910
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 3: five or six infield hits in this game. Yeah, one

911
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 3: that we'll talk about a few minutes, and field hits

912
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: that actually won them the game.

913
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: But kind of like you said, the solo.

914
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 3: Home run in the first another first hitting run because

915
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: we do it every single freaking game is ridiculous.

916
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: There why a basketball his solo in the fourth.

917
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: And we only got one other hit off of Steven Matts.

918
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: We only had five hits in the game total, and

919
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: three off of Steven Matts and he cruise seven k's

920
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 3: Like he looked good.

921
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: You know.

922
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of cool though, the fact that you pitched

923
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: well against the Mets, and I feel like I didn't.

924
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: Hear much about it. Yeah, because there are so many

925
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: things in the series. Yeah, people complained about Lindor in

926
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: this game. That's why.

927
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: But also you want something that's really going to suck, Yeah,

928
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 3: hit me. Steve mass pitched two games against the Mets

929
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: of this season and the Cardinals won both.

930
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, why you got don't put that out into

931
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: the internet. Don't tell anybody they want. Stop, you've got

932
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: a secret. Don't let people know that the two games

933
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals won when Steven Matt's pitch, don't tell

934
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: them that.

935
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: Oh Man shouldn't have said that. We're keeping it in there. Yeah,

936
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: I know I would. I would cut it, but I

937
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: have too much pride.

938
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: It was good content is good content if we're unbiased.

939
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: Of course, unbiasedly biasedly unbiased. Yeah, of course, of course

940
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: we love the Mets, but we're still real people for sure.

941
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: And on our pitching side, Taiwan did his Taiwan thing.

942
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: Not many whiffs, four k's, lots of hard contact. I

943
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 3: just think, I mean, we've been saying it for a

944
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: while now, that's just Taiwan. He's not the all star

945
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: pitcher that we saw last year at the start of

946
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: the year.

947
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: How many times we have to say this, but I

948
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: think people are starting to understand, Yeah, that Taiwan is

949
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: very much a depth piece in this rotation, but that.

950
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: Also doesn't mean that he's bad.

951
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 3: Like now, the fact that Taiwan Walker is gonna be

952
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: like a three or four star in this team, like

953
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: he's at least gonna go out there and work he's

954
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 3: gonna throw innings something big from Taiwan that kind of

955
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 3: gives me some confidence, at least in the media future

956
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: for him was that his split change was very, very

957
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: good on Wednesday. It's kind of like a make or

958
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 3: break pitch for him because he doesn't really have an

959
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 3: elite I don't know, like his repertory is his pitch

960
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: max is an elite, like his the mo pitch movement

961
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: is an elite. There isn't anything that you watched Taiwan

962
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: pitching like all that that's a mind blowing pitch, but

963
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: this splitter kind of can do that split change. Not

964
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: Splitter can do that the way he just dives out

965
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 3: of his own. It was the second most thrown pitch

966
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: over thirty percent of time and it got six whiffs

967
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: on eleven swings. It was useful against righty's then lefties.

968
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: This is something where Taywan Walker is going to step

969
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 3: up over these next six to eight weeks. Having the

970
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: ra under four pitch deep into games pitched, even the

971
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: games against good teams. He's going to have to lean

972
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: on that split change and I was happy to see

973
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 3: him using it so so liberally here.

974
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the whips that he gets on.

975
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 1: It really does help expand the outcomes that he can

976
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: possibly have as a pitcher.

977
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially also because now he just doesn't throw the

978
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: two seamer anymore, the pitch that kind of carried them

979
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: last year. I don't know that it was something a

980
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: field with the pitch. Maybe just eventually he got to

981
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: figure it out. He didn't want to throw it anymore if

982
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 3: he's not only his four seing fastball sliders and that

983
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: split change.

984
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: So he did. He pitched well enough to win this game.

985
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: Carls got to him, and they especially got to him

986
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: the third time around the bathing order in the fifth inning,

987
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: which in a perfect world you wouldn't want Tywan Walker

988
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 3: to see a bathing order for the third time.

989
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 2: But in this new world, he's going to have to,

990
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: and it's going to.

991
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: Be it's gonna be the make or break in a

992
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: lot of games on whether or not Tywan Walker can

993
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: get hitters out for a third time.

994
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, can't believe the Mets. It was after the dolame

995
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: the mess. I'm blaimeing tom on Walker into double heather.

996
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: You have to throwhimut there and see what you can

997
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: get done.

998
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: But especially a lineup that's so talented at the top,

999
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 3: like the Cardinals with four of their top five hitters

1000
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 3: being like significantly bad in the league average, Like this

1001
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 3: is gonna happen. But yeah, we still play chances to win, still.

1002
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: Alat chance to win this game, especially when Andre Polante,

1003
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: who that's the name that I've heard a lot this week,

1004
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: which is kind of weird because I've never heard of

1005
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: him before. Andre Polante. That is not a creative player name,

1006
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: no by any means. But he's bad.

1007
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: It sounds like a Simolier. It's not very good. No,

1008
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: it's not good.

1009
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: All not impressed with him, especially in his first appearance

1010
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: where he walked three straight batters in the six and

1011
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: put us right back in the game before Edward of

1012
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: Westcobar had just a.

1013
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: Bad, bad after three consecutive walks as while the West

1014
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: Cabar struck out on three pitches. Yeah, it's almost impossible.

1015
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: It was bad. It's just like when he strikes.

1016
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: We talked about this at the bars, when he when

1017
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: he's like as when he's not going, I don't even

1018
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: know how to how do I explain this in a

1019
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: slump when he's in a slump. Yeah, that's the best

1020
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: way to say his bat at bats are like brutally bad,

1021
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: brutally brutally.

1022
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 3: It's kind of like hit there's like in wid the

1023
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: West Cabar like this, when you're in a slump, your

1024
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: aggresiveness is almost used against you.

1025
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're so like key up to try.

1026
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: And get a hit, try and back out of it.

1027
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: He had You did get a couple hits in the series.

1028
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: He didn't look home running this game. Yeah, he got

1029
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: a home run this game. He had a sack fly

1030
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 3: in game three. He didn't look as bad in the

1031
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: series did the last one. So there's improvement here. But

1032
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: when you're someone who's as aggressive as Escobar and you're

1033
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: in RBS situation, in a lot of RBS situations because

1034
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 3: the top top of them, this match order gets on

1035
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: base at will.

1036
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have a lot of guys who live on base.

1037
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 3: It's it's pretty nice to see it and nice to

1038
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 3: watch good lineup construction in a way. But he just

1039
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 3: he seems very very ready to make an impact, and

1040
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 3: pitchers can pray on that or not even might not

1041
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 3: even be intentional.

1042
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: He's got plant he couldn't find his own and just

1043
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: said to bar down. It was a little upsetting. Yeah,

1044
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: a little upsetting kind of killed us.

1045
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: And then we got a good rally in the eighth

1046
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: Lindor walk because the Lindor's pretty good player and he

1047
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: just he gets on base. He's walking I think thirteen

1048
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: percent of the time or twelve percent of the time

1049
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: something around that.

1050
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: Probably significantly more after like six walks in the last

1051
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 2: two days. Yeah, he's been fantastic.

1052
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: What went eight of his last nine after this.

1053
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 3: Game, Yes, after this game and then the first at

1054
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: back of the next game, he was on base eighty

1055
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 3: second of play appearance.

1056
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: Which was awesome. Yeah, it was absolutely awesome.

1057
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: We tried to get another rally, another strikeout by Escobar

1058
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: on three pitches again late in the game.

1059
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: He back to back at bats with two men on.

1060
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: The first one was basic as low. This one was

1061
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: two men on, struck out in three.

1062
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Pitches, struck out in three pitches. But then we did

1063
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: get a pass ball and Jeff mcdeal got hit because

1064
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: Jeff macgal's awesome. Jeff fels back two out single, he

1065
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: was He's the man. That's what Jeff's gonna hit singles

1066
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: all year long. Yeah, I mean, we're he'll get his

1067
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: double down the line live might hit a home runner too,

1068
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: maybe in Colorado this next week.

1069
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: I don't care. It would be great.

1070
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: But he's really back to the way that he was

1071
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: playing before, and I love it, and it helps this

1072
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: team so much to have that depth in the lineup

1073
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: where he's just gonna constantly put the ball and playing

1074
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: get hits.

1075
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 3: And now suddenly we're looking at the game where you're

1076
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 3: facing the Cardinals who had about I think double digit

1077
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 3: hits at this point, a starting pitcher who pitched very well,

1078
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 3: and you just tied the game on some cheapost stuff

1079
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: like this is this game where it's like, we can

1080
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 3: steal this game against the Cardinals, we can lock in

1081
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: our first two wins in this series and one day

1082
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 3: and a double Heather, you're cruising.

1083
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: Everything's crystal clear. But we gave it right back in

1084
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 2: the top of the ninth thinning. Yeah, wasn't happy about

1085
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 2: Joey coming out for the next thitning.

1086
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: No, we'll tell Joey La Rodriguez just has a backtrack here.

1087
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 3: He came in in the seventh and got the Mets

1088
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 3: out of a jam, got Tommy Edmonds to ground out

1089
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: with two on felt good. Yeah, but again you're in

1090
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 3: double heather, you got to stretch things out. And Joeli

1091
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: Rodriguez came back out to face the very right handed,

1092
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 3: heavy middle of the Cardinals order to start the ninth inning.

1093
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: So I say, went back in the seventh before that

1094
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 3: was the eighth, So my bad guys. But another time

1095
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: where brand Doman's up and you're like, this is a gift.

1096
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 3: We can start this hitting off with it out because

1097
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 3: brand Donovan is is a trip quadruple player. Look at

1098
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 3: the series though, but he's not up to the caliber

1099
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: of most two hitters, and not up to the caliber

1100
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 3: other guys that could be hitting second in this lineup.

1101
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 3: Joellie walked him to lead off the ninth inning, and

1102
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 3: when you lead up, when you walk guys to lead

1103
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: off innings, they all very often come around to score,

1104
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 3: especially in situations like that, especially against fundamentally sound teams

1105
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 3: like the Cardinals who play good baseball.

1106
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 2: And this walk was.

1107
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 3: Especially annoying because the strike zones very much moving around

1108
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 3: in Joelle. It seemed like whoever the umpire in this

1109
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: game was not exactly consistent, because there was a large

1110
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 3: period of this game where pitches about an inch off

1111
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 3: the edges were being called and suddenly they were not

1112
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: being called anymore. He did miss a ball in the corner,

1113
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: So Joey didn't pitch up to the standard that we

1114
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: expect of him so far. I think most met fans

1115
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 3: are now also back to levelon Joelle, especially after Micaul

1116
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 3: Castros finally had some rough allans for the Yankees Blue

1117
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 3: game against the Orioles, the classic micgal Castro special two

1118
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: walks in a big hit. But this was disappointing, and

1119
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: it's very sad when you walk a guy like Brendan

1120
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 3: Donovan with Paul Goldschmith and Nolan Arnado coming up next,

1121
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 3: and did a decent.

1122
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: Job after that, like he was able to kind of

1123
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: get through the middle of the order a little bit

1124
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: out of Vino ends up coming in though to face Aeronauto.

1125
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: What did you do, Aeronaudo? Struck him out? Struck him out?

1126
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, struck them o. I think, dude, this game

1127
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: feels like so long ago. Yeah, it's crazy. It feels

1128
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: like these four game series ones. Yeah, game the first

1129
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: day of the series for like a month ago. Literally

1130
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: that was only even only it wasn't even a full

1131
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: four days ago.

1132
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 2: No, it was three days ago. Four baseball games. Oh

1133
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 2: my goodness. But yeah.

1134
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean the reason I forget about that, though, is

1135
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: because the play that really mattered and was the biggest

1136
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: one was the Tyler O'Neil doink shot to Eduardo errabl dribbler. Yeah,

1137
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: that he couldn't field cleanly, couldn't get the ball out

1138
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: of the glove O'Neil, who is fast, very fast, first athlete.

1139
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: We go down four to three, and that was just like,

1140
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: oh yep, we had a chance to get out of

1141
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: a really rough inning with no damage and a tie

1142
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: game going into the ninth. Instead down four to three,

1143
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: and that's all of a sudden, you know, you're like,

1144
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: it's a difference between being ready to try to win

1145
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: this game and then backs are up against the wall.

1146
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: Yes, backs up against the wall, and we came up

1147
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 3: for the night. Then against Giovanni, Diego's a guy that

1148
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 3: he's a good closer, but he's not a great one.

1149
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 3: He's not closer you really fear he's a closer you

1150
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 3: can get out. After Travis Shan Cassie Grand out to

1151
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: lead off the inning, Dom Smith walked, Lewis Key Ormey singled,

1152
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: and now we had some juice.

1153
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 2: We had the top of the other here ready to rock,

1154
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: and we had two men on.

1155
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 3: Mark Canna struck out swinging, and then Francisco indoors struck

1156
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: out swing to end the game. And that bat that

1157
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: is angered Mets fans as angry as I've seen them

1158
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 3: in recent memory.

1159
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: Yo. People were ready to I mean cut Francisco indoor.

1160
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: They were treating him like he'd been playing like Robinson Canal.

1161
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also right after Mark Hanna also struck out swing. Yeah.

1162
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: And also we had like the weird Nemo injury where

1163
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: he he fouled one off his knee right or h Yeah,

1164
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: he fouled one off his knee and then tried to

1165
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: run to first and he left the game. That's why

1166
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: Gyorme was sitting and then one spot for him. It

1167
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: was just like the fact that the Lindor struck out

1168
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: was not the reason we lost this game. Like the

1169
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: Mets still got out played in this one, I like

1170
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: to say, especially because the Cardinals had ten hits the

1171
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: Mets at four I think in this five. So to

1172
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: really dog Lindor for this, it's very similar to like

1173
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: the a Rod treatment I will say of like you

1174
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: can really cherry pick when he doesn't succeed, but it

1175
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: seems like everyone seems to forget what he does. Yes,

1176
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: and Lindor for the most part, still succeeds a lot

1177
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: more than he does.

1178
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: For sure. It's just really the batting average. Yeah, that's

1179
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: really what it is. He gets.

1180
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: He's getting home runs, like we saw, just playing great

1181
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: defense again. The throws are right back to normal. He

1182
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: said he was dropping side arm a little bit too

1183
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: much and he's cleaned it up and the throws has

1184
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: been great. I mean, he's gonna strike out guys, He's

1185
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna strike out. He can't get it hit every single

1186
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: time in a big spot.

1187
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 3: And the irony is that if the message will have

1188
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 3: gone down one, two, three in that inning, the situation

1189
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 3: never will come up and no one ever will talk about.

1190
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 3: It's just the fact that the Mets actually did have

1191
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 3: a little mini rally in the form of a walk

1192
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 3: in a single to get the tying run the scoring

1193
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: position to go ahead right on base, that to plant

1194
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor in situation where we could have made a

1195
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: big play.

1196
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: He just did it. Hit a strike out. It's baseball, like,

1197
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: that's it. It's how it works. Even if you're one

1198
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: of the best in the league. You're failing seventy percent

1199
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: of the time. Yeah, yeah, I get over it. Gotta

1200
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: get over it.

1201
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: Gotta get over especially for a guy who will continue

1202
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: to tell you is good. And I will say, it's

1203
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: super funny that we had the one fan reach out to.

1204
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 2: Us, Wicksacks.

1205
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna call you out, dude, You're like, tell me

1206
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: he's good, but don't give me any of those analytics tests.

1207
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 2: Don't. I don't know what to say.

1208
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 3: Then, what do we tell you he's like something wrong

1209
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: with the eye test. I'm like, that's just your eye.

1210
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: Then, I guess I don't know what to tell you.

1211
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: If you I don't want to, don't tell me numbers,

1212
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: tell me why he's good, Like, uh, well, numbers back up,

1213
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: why he's good?

1214
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, he's good. Guys. I'm sorry

1215
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: he struck out to end this game. It would be

1216
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: nice if you got a hit. But he's good. He's good.

1217
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: He's good. Now let's move on to Game three. The

1218
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 2: boys were in attendance. Mmm, we're at bp mm hmm.

1219
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: Could could be cool, could be cool.

1220
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: If you're watching the YouTube video here, the eyes are big,

1221
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: The eyes are big, the I emojis, eyes emojis.

1222
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: Keep that in mind.

1223
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: We just put pictures on Twitter with players Adam Outovino,

1224
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 1: Tom Smith, maybe a few more kind of cool. Maybe

1225
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: something's cooking in the works. You guys will find out

1226
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: hopefully soon here. But let me tell me, yeah, hopefully,

1227
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: my goodness. But let me tell you this. When the

1228
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: boys are in attendance, specifically together, if we come separately

1229
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: or we were sitting in different areas, something happens. But

1230
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: when we're together, the Mets hit. The Mets hit, and

1231
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they did this game. They were absolutely

1232
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: smacking it around. And with Max Schuers on the mound,

1233
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: you always feel goodhen the Mets could score some runs

1234
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: with him on there.

1235
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 3: It almost feels dirty to talk about this game as

1236
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 3: like a Max schurerser starting knowing what we know and

1237
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 3: going through forty five minutes of this podcast, what that

1238
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 3: do we even want to talk about? Let's just I mean, well,

1239
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 3: I we'll briefly mention him. He already brought it up,

1240
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: but like, I'm not breaking him down. I'm not breaking

1241
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: down you started.

1242
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 2: Yes, it's not pature.

1243
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 3: For six weeks we'll allude to Max sure is that

1244
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 3: when we can't talk about his game is like a

1245
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 3: SHARE's day, which I tweeted that was probably me.

1246
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 2: I jinxed it's wheel with him, that's me. That was

1247
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: on me.

1248
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, guys, but this game we did get the hits,

1249
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 3: but it was very tight. Early we scored the first

1250
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 3: inning run because that's what we do every single game.

1251
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 3: We actually got two and then we got the walk

1252
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 3: can I got a single. Lindor had an early strike out.

1253
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 3: Also with men, I know people were freaking out in

1254
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 3: the stands, just like hearing the murmurs of the olds

1255
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 3: like hanging out in the stands.

1256
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: People were pitch especially because he walked up to Happy

1257
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: by Pharrell, which was definitely a little troll job patrol move.

1258
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: But also I can see Lindor being like, I need

1259
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: to stay positive and this is about the most positive

1260
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: song ever.

1261
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: It's also top five or song of all time. I

1262
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: think he did it fully as a troll think.

1263
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: So I hope, I hope, I hope he doesn't like

1264
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: that song because like anyone who likes to listen to

1265
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: Happy buy Pharrell, like there's almost something wrong, there's hiding,

1266
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: There's almost no way Farrell likes that song he can't.

1267
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: That was a I need to make some quick money.

1268
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 2: Fast, like not even Forel's like top fifty songs could

1269
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 2: be like one hundred in a movie like the Smurfs

1270
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: or something. Yeah, I think it was a Despicable Me. Yeah,

1271
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 2: oh yeah, it was despicable man. Get a big check.

1272
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 2: That's what that was. That check. Get a Lindor check. Yeah, right,

1273
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 2: thirty million? Take it.

1274
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 3: Do you think Farrel got more or less than a

1275
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 3: thirty million dollars check to that song? I know that

1276
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 3: song probably made him more than thirty million in total,

1277
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 3: but you think just to use the rights to that

1278
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 3: song is more or less than one fancasical Lindoor season.

1279
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 2: Oh, people are gonna have people are gonna hate this arguts.

1280
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 2: I think it might be more, it might think it might.

1281
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: I think it might be fifty. That's where it was,

1282
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 2: like a Benny Blanco check. Man, it must be great

1283
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: to be musically talented. It would be great to have

1284
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 2: a talent besides talking about baseball.

1285
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: Also amazing that like guys like that can still be

1286
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: really talented and be able to sell out when they

1287
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: want and just make tons of money and then go

1288
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: back to actually doing what they like to do because

1289
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: he's a very successful musician of course for that was incredible,

1290
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: great producer, one of the best, great producer.

1291
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: His album with Nerds from like two thousand and two,

1292
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: amazing rap album. But keep talk about baseball. Let's kep

1293
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 2: talking about baseball. Lindor struck out McNeil two out, our

1294
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 2: behind though, two runs.

1295
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 3: Two out, single baby, that's all he does. He didn't

1296
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 3: like literally three separate times a series. So there was

1297
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: a stat coming into one of the games.

1298
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember what it was, maybe it might have

1299
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 1: been last series, but within two out situations with runners

1300
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: in scoring positions, at one point McNeil was like nine

1301
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: for nine or ten for ten and driving in the run.

1302
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 2: I almost don't believe you. No, I'm serious.

1303
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: And then it happened again, and like he got out

1304
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: once and then this series, I like, every single time

1305
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: the runners in scoring position, he just put the ball

1306
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: in play and scored.

1307
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: He got a few times in Game four got in

1308
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: scoring position.

1309
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 3: Remember with that anywhere I think was Andre plant he

1310
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 3: was basically playing goalie on the mountain.

1311
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, every three straight balls hit. Oh yeah, that

1312
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: wasn't his fight hit the ball? Well was like the

1313
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: shoulder one was in the like this hip. Yeah, no

1314
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: he was.

1315
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: He was sc scorching the ball. So it was great

1316
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: to start early again getting runs. But apols the pesky

1317
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: forty eight year old man, Yes, forty eight years old,

1318
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: he's not forty three, there's absolutely no. And now forty

1319
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: eight year old man just smacks the ball down the line,

1320
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: two runs right back.

1321
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: I almost like, wasn't even mad. It was just like

1322
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 2: good piece of hitting. I think it was an outside

1323
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: slither or color from sure is there. Also like the

1324
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: last time me and you will probably in person never

1325
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: see upper pool holes play probably you know, like we

1326
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: won this game, so now in retrospect, I can say

1327
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 2: that was pretty cool.

1328
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, seeing our pools up close like we did, the

1329
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 3: chance to see him really up close, and Mark and

1330
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: I kind of show ourselves a little bit before the game,

1331
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 3: but we didn't. But just like seeing him just like

1332
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 3: take a pitch like down the first base line and

1333
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 3: Pete was playing him off the line.

1334
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 2: Also funny like the ball got down the line.

1335
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 3: Out but was just like going the first like with

1336
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 3: his waddle like he does now in his old age,

1337
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 3: like he's not fresh out of the two No, hell.

1338
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 2: No, he's so slow.

1339
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like also, this inning wouldn't even have happening.

1340
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 3: His runs would not have scored if not for another

1341
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 3: ed while the West, can bar misplay a third?

1342
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 2: A bad throw? Yeah it was. It was behind the bag.

1343
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 3: It was not an easy throw. It was a tough

1344
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 3: luck error. But I would like to make that play.

1345
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 2: It was a lead off ground ball, and that kind

1346
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 2: of opened up this rally for the Cards.

1347
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: That's something that when water is not working at the plate,

1348
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: you hope he can do it defensively for you.

1349
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 3: And it's also the kind of thing where he's not

1350
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: working to play everything. Will everyone really know this?

1351
00:45:58,280 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: That?

1352
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 3: More so like john Yo Scramsky, one of the Jesus

1353
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 3: can I say, one of the dumbest people on television.

1354
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: John just Smsky, who cares pronounce his name wrong. I

1355
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: don't care. Yeah, he's an idiot.

1356
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 3: Johnny Stremsky was just railing against bars defense and why

1357
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 3: of the West. Gubar generally is a good defensive player.

1358
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 3: He did make multiple misplays in the series, and that's

1359
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 3: not the guy's not going well.

1360
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: Guy's not going well.

1361
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 3: But just like when you when a guy like Johnny

1362
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 3: Scrimsky doesn't seem to watch the games like super closely.

1363
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 3: Is like harping ONTI bars defense, Like you know that

1364
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 3: he's a guy who's popularly bad right.

1365
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: Now, dude, he's a fucking Yankees fan talking about the

1366
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: Mets game because he's not good enough for yes even

1367
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: like I mean, I just I don't want to hear

1368
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: this guy good enough for the Ringer somehow, Yeah, I won't.

1369
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 2: It's a ring whatever there. I don't really care about

1370
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: the Ringer either.

1371
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 3: I mean, the Ringer picks off podcast left and right.

1372
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 2: I think we'll be all right.

1373
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: You guys don't get that, but I can't you as

1374
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: soon as we start hearing his voice, we had to

1375
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: turn that.

1376
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 2: You definitely lose AQ.

1377
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,959
Speaker 1: Points listening to John Stremsky talk baseball.

1378
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: Definitely, But back to the game here, it just sat

1379
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: too too for a while. After that, pool balls hit

1380
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: both pitchers pitcher well, George takes us the video game stuff.

1381
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 2: It was kind of frustrating again just not to hit him.

1382
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: But he also does this weird thing where, like, you

1383
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: know how pitching they always talking about, like first pitch

1384
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: strikes are so big because you always see like players

1385
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: performance ops. It drops every time you're behind the count,

1386
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: it just drops, it drops, it drops. He throws almost

1387
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: no first pitch strikes. He was sitting at like twenty

1388
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: five percent first pitch strikes in this game.

1389
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 3: I just don't understand the fact the Cardinals have very

1390
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 3: solid triple A pitching depth that Matthew Libertore, who after

1391
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 3: the game the announced was called up amazing that the

1392
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 3: Mets took three or four from the Cardinals.

1393
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 2: They brought their two best prospects up.

1394
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: Right the way sick, sick because those guys were have

1395
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: been locks to be lights out against them, absolutely, and

1396
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: also just shows that they're now pressing a little bit.

1397
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, we lost a big time season. Seriously,

1398
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 3: the Mets that we have to make some moves.

1399
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,479
Speaker 1: We've never we've never made the Cardinals sweat.

1400
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 2: I think I think how we actually.

1401
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 3: Said this was the first time since like either two

1402
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 3: thousand and five or two thousand and one that the

1403
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 3: Mets beat the Cardinals five times in the same at

1404
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 3: least five times in a single season.

1405
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, which, hell, yeah, let's do. Let's keep rolling here.

1406
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely, but Higgs came out of the game. We got

1407
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 3: to a nice little rally off the Cardinals pen Pete

1408
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 3: had RBI single.

1409
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 2: Escort had a sack fled.

1410
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: I've had a nice little single messed up on for

1411
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 3: dom guys talking to the messed up podcasts, they play

1412
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 3: well immediately after it's tried and true.

1413
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 2: It's just science, guys. I'm sorry.

1414
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 3: And there was a very very sweet old school Luiski

1415
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 3: or may safety squeeze to get to get another run

1416
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 3: in and stretch of lead out to four.

1417
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 2: So it's so nice having it. He's so fun. He's

1418
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,439
Speaker 2: so fun. You know, Buck loves luisky Ormey like his sun.

1419
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: Luis K. J Ormey would be a Hall of Famer

1420
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: if you played in nineteen fifty. That guy reminds me

1421
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 2: of myself. Assie Smith made the Hall of Fame. Remember that.

1422
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: And that's my Ouzie smith slander for today. Then the

1423
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 2: Shuzer injury happened. You know all about it. We're not

1424
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 2: gonna talk about it anymore. It's stunk. It was. It

1425
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 2: was awful.

1426
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: It was terrible, and it felt like a gut punch

1427
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: but out of you know, came in, got a huge k,

1428
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: got pooholes out. After two men on another Mets stop bump,

1429
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: another Mets up bump, the Mets stup bump is real

1430
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: and we got a little scary Yeah.

1431
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: When Nolan Arnatt hit an absolute bomb off of Steth

1432
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: Lougo bomb, Hey, he had to do something to the

1433
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: Mets this series. He's too good enough.

1434
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 3: We really squashed the whole fight thing. It seemed to

1435
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 3: not even be relevant at all in this series. There

1436
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 3: were a couple hit by pitches in the Morning's given Out, yes,

1437
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 3: but it just seemed like both teams were trying to

1438
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 3: move past it. There was also that moment that we

1439
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 3: didn't mention between Stubby and Pete. Yeah, I'm like a

1440
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 3: STU mister Clapp. Yeah, mister what's more embarrassing, Stubby or

1441
00:48:58,800 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 3: mister Clapp.

1442
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: That's all pretty because mister Clapp sounds like someone with chamythia. Well, yeah,

1443
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 2: he's got the clap. He's literally the clap.

1444
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: So mister Clap and Pete gave each other like a

1445
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 3: kind of a bit of a head nod. I kind

1446
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 3: of wish Pete would have almost even given him more

1447
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 3: of a cold shoulder. Kind of sick to got the

1448
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 3: home run to end the series now thinking about it,

1449
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 3: episode that.

1450
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 2: Is a sick way to I forgot about that. If

1451
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 2: didn't even think about the story because they really squashed

1452
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: the storyline. Yeah.

1453
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 3: See, also these big home games for the Mets, like

1454
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: they didn't really lean into it, like whether that's a

1455
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 3: good thing or a bad thing. It's not, but there

1456
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 3: was a choice, and it seemed like they didn't want

1457
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 3: to make that the relevant part of the series.

1458
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of even cooler that we kind of just

1459
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: like handed it to them this year, big time seven games.

1460
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: We won five of them. That's kind of the best

1461
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: way to squash the beef. We just beat your ass, yes,

1462
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: which is awesome, which is awesome pitching as well, and

1463
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: then we blew it a whole open again right after

1464
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: that aeronauto home run, which is sick. Is a great

1465
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: response to what could have made the game feel a

1466
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: little bit tight.

1467
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 3: It was a lead that was cut from four to two.

1468
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 3: And your favorite guy, Frank Flumming. Did you see the

1469
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 3: tweets from him from during this game?

1470
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: No, I don't follow Frank.

1471
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 3: Well, he just every single time something kind of bad

1472
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 3: happened in the Mets, not including the shares and thing,

1473
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 3: because that he was right about because you know, brooken clock.

1474
00:49:59,280 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: Is right twice a day.

1475
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 3: He was like spiral games ending games over. We're done over,

1476
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 3: and then the Mets just hilariously broke us open for

1477
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:06,959
Speaker 3: what like seven runs?

1478
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 2: Five runs here, Yeah, Mets win by seven. Eleven to

1479
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 2: four is the final score.

1480
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 1: Patrick Mazeka five runs in the botom of the age.

1481
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: Patrick Mozica, who might be a good ball play, be.

1482
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: A good ball player, might know how to hit a

1483
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 2: little bit, whether you can swing the back to the

1484
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 2: ride into one.

1485
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 3: Early in this game, he hit a double down the line.

1486
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 3: Later on, the guy can swing it, but he hilariously

1487
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 3: when this inning began, we got the lead off man on.

1488
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 3: I remember who was or how they got on, but

1489
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 3: I distinctly remember Patrick Mazeka bunting.

1490
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is kind of exactly what we're making fun of.

1491
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 2: The Cardinals four in Game four this year, Mosque is

1492
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: the nine hitter.

1493
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: So that's okay, yeah for sure, not the two hitter,

1494
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: but just hilarious that we ended up scoring five runs

1495
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: this inning and we gave up and out.

1496
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 2: You know, it was funny.

1497
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: But the Nemo the triple down the line, which is

1498
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: great because he's just he loves he loves hitting it

1499
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: down the line, really propelled we got the can of

1500
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: single Lindor walked. This is of course midst Lindor getting

1501
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: on base non stop. And then the Alonso absolute bomb

1502
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: smoked it and that was really the ice or the

1503
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: cherry on top of this game. That's just dominated the

1504
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals late in the game, win eleven four and as

1505
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: you guys know, we win the series three to one,

1506
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: five to two on the year.

1507
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, took the Cardinals down, gave ourselves a very nice

1508
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 3: cushion against them as we will likely compete with them

1509
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 3: for playoff spot. Like we said that over and over again,

1510
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 3: it just feels good to be the be the good team.

1511
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 3: Like Carlins are a good roster, they're have deep team.

1512
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 3: The pitching is not exactly something that you should be

1513
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 3: scared of, and we said that going in and we

1514
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,959
Speaker 3: hit them as well as basically could have hoped.

1515
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, especially now with losing Shures are

1516
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: not having to grom any games.

1517
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 2: They're big now, Yeah, yes, game you got drags, scratching claw,

1518
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: you get these wins, big big wins.

1519
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: We do have to figure out who's gonna fill that

1520
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: spot though for sures Or, I don't think we're gonna

1521
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: take too long on this, but maybe just throw out

1522
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: some names for some Mets fans that we could maybe

1523
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: look to. I think the real one that everyone wants,

1524
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be a pipe dream, but it's

1525
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy. Frankie Montas at the Oakland A's that

1526
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: would probably be the number one guy I want.

1527
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 3: He'd cost so much, so much in the trade right now,

1528
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 3: just because once the season begins and teams have needs,

1529
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 3: like everyone in Major League Baseball knows right now, the

1530
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 3: Mets are desperate for a starting pitcher. Yeah, it could

1531
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: not be more obvious. So like you're they're gonna make

1532
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 3: you pay a lot to get one. So I think

1533
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 3: more than getting an ace right now, the Mets probably

1534
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 3: if they do look in the trade marker. And I

1535
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 3: would like to break this down probably in depth Sunday,

1536
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 3: because I mean, knock on wood, I'm sure this Rocky

1537
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 3: series isn't gonna have a lot of like specific game

1538
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 3: breakdowns for us to do. But guys on one year

1539
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 3: deals like Mike Minor to the rest of the names

1540
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 3: before whoever.

1541
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 2: Nathan Valdi's got a year, He's gonna cost a little

1542
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: bit more. He's very good, though, He'll be an expensive

1543
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 2: rental Michael Waalka, Michael Waka. As awful and disgusting as

1544
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 2: that sounds, I.

1545
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: Mean a lot of the guys that I think are

1546
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: probably the most realistic where the Mets wouldn't get fleeced,

1547
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, quote unquote fleeced into trade. How much better

1548
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: are they really than the guys that could step up

1549
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: for the Mets. And we kind of have to see

1550
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: what we have at some point.

1551
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially like they signed Trevor k Hill.

1552
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 3: He's gonna go to Syracuse. He'll probably get a spot

1553
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 3: star eventually. Mike Montgomery's been pitching down Syracuse, old wiley

1554
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 3: lefty who's on the cups for a while.

1555
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: He has a really good k mis walker right right

1556
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: now in the minor league. He's gonna do well.

1557
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 3: A name that we've talked about a lot, Jose Budo,

1558
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 3: is pitching very well for Binghamton.

1559
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: He's got to get a chance at some point.

1560
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 3: At some point, it's either you move him up the

1561
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 3: Triple A or you just keep throwing them out there.

1562
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 3: Right now, he probably doesn't have enough stuff to get

1563
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 3: through a major league lineup even two full times. One

1564
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 3: of these double headers, though, that could be coming out

1565
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 3: that he's just he's just twenty seven, man, You see

1566
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 3: what you guy? He has a good fastball with a

1567
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 3: good shape, and he has a very good change up

1568
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 3: that's a plus pitch. There hasn't been a very lengthy

1569
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 3: track record of guys who are young coming up without

1570
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 3: leave lastly and with the leading secondaries of change up

1571
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 3: who have been very good.

1572
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: But fuck it, maybe that means we're due.

1573
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 3: It's a plus change up and his fastball is a

1574
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 3: good shape and at least league average LASSI like he

1575
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 3: could be good enough to get nine to twelve outs.

1576
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: Talking with friends of the podcast, Matt Eddie two right,

1577
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: who said, a, yeah, Dina could be a guy maybe.

1578
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,760
Speaker 2: Who gets stretched out here and then Thomas the pucks

1579
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 2: his name will probab see again. He's actually had good

1580
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 2: results Triple A this year.

1581
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I mean there's probably not any we could

1582
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 1: We could you know, it's not sexy.

1583
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 2: It's not sexy. We could do the clickbait thing.

1584
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 1: We could say Luis Castillo, Franky Montas, Kyle Hendrix, Nathan

1585
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: Nathan Valdi. Maybe we will later, but in this episode

1586
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: we're kind of still mourning the loss of mature.

1587
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, just state and you can't really, you just can't

1588
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 3: make a trade right now. Something's gonna just bend you

1589
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 3: over as they should.

1590
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's just good business.

1591
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: Nobody should be trying to help out the I mean,

1592
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: like some of the fun names through out there. Bruce Zimmerman,

1593
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: I'd love some Bruce Iimmerman here, Jordan Lyles, I mean,

1594
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: those are fun names. Imagine saying that fun those areas.

1595
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: Has been good this year, he's been okay, he's been fine.

1596
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: It's been fine. Big Ballpark. We got a big one

1597
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: here too, so we got that.

1598
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 2: I mean. The real name that's gonna have to step

1599
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 2: up and he's gonna have to be very good is

1600
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 2: David Peterson.

1601
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 3: The MESSI David Peterson to pitch like a three four

1602
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 3: rather than a five to six right now.

1603
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 2: And there's a chance he can do that. It's not definite.

1604
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if he will, but he is the

1605
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 3: guy who the most is gonna fall on his shoulders,

1606
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 3: especially while Tyler McGill remains on the iel.

1607
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 2: And we've also had no timetable for him whatsoever, No nothing, nothing.

1608
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some names that like we could throw

1609
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, Felix Page has started before the

1610
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: angels in the past. I mean Tommy Hunters a bullpen guy.

1611
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,919
Speaker 1: He can go with three innings, two or three innings.

1612
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: I think Yanc could go probably two well, So it

1613
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: might just turn into more of trying to find guys

1614
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: to eat innings as opposed to trying to find that

1615
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: next starter.

1616
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be tough. It's gonna stink.

1617
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 1: These next six to eight weeks, especially with who we're playing,

1618
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: are gonna be tough. Hopefully one of the guys who

1619
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: gets this opportunity does step up like Trevor Williams did

1620
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: this series, Yes, and like David Peterson did early in

1621
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: the year. Those two We're gonna se those two guys

1622
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot, and I think that there is a reason

1623
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: to believe that they can at least be competent and

1624
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: keep this train moving in the right direction. Now, we

1625
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: do have our next series coming up here. The seventh

1626
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: Line will actually be out in Colorado, So you guys

1627
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: are there's Mets fans if you live in Colorado. I

1628
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 1: don't know what percentage of our listeners live in Colorado,

1629
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: probably very few. Or if you're just going out there

1630
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: with the seven line, Yeah, but if you're going out

1631
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: there with the seven line, go have some fun. I've

1632
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,919
Speaker 1: heard corse Field is a beautiful stadium. It's a place

1633
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: to watch a game.

1634
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 3: Great area too. There's like a whole strip of bars

1635
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 3: and breweries right next to course Field. It's a great

1636
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 3: place to hang out.

1637
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 1: Yes, if I was a little bit less busy, I

1638
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: would have loved to gone to Colorado.

1639
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 3: Out of course, I'm also happy that we didn't commit

1640
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 3: to it because the weather is going to be horrific

1641
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 3: in Colorado this weekend.

1642
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 1: It was it's eighty ish right today on Thursday. Yeah,

1643
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: and tomorrow when the series is supposed to start, blizzard, blizzard,

1644
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: skiing weather.

1645
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 2: How did they not put a roof on that stadium?

1646
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1647
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 3: Man, that's a criminal tickman for it's not really want

1648
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 3: to spend stupid organization.

1649
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's bad. I mean he just promoted his son

1650
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: to be the president of the president of Development and

1651
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 2: Player Operations or whatever.

1652
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: Bad bad organization. That being said, They're not playing particularly

1653
00:55:58,480 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: bad baseball this year.

1654
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 2: I mean they can hit a little bit, they can speak.

1655
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: Not at home, Rockies play well at home, Rockies play

1656
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: wrong home. And of course we don't have the greatest

1657
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: pitching right now, or pitching is a little bit weaker,

1658
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 1: And of course in Colorado runs get scored like crazy.

1659
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 3: But I dol'most think that's better, Yeah, for any for

1660
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 3: a seriously growing into where like, oh, the Mets don't

1661
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 3: have any pitching right now, it's like, let's just go

1662
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 3: to Colorado and try to score ten runs first to

1663
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 3: ten wins.

1664
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely will be getting Morte back to who's unbereavmably,

1665
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: so he'll be back for the series as well, which

1666
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: is nice because he was scalding hot in the month

1667
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: of May.

1668
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 2: What are the pitching breakdowns?

1669
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of tvds, I

1670
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,760
Speaker 1: feel like in this one, only not really. Actually everything

1671
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: is seven on both sides Friday night if the game

1672
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: goes off, I'm assuming he's not going to because the

1673
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: weather for Friday night's especially bad. It's supposed to just

1674
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: be cold on Saturday and Sunday, but still not be

1675
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: as bad. But Carls carrasco versus Herma Marquez, who always

1676
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 1: kills the Mets.

1677
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 2: Yes, that guy loves the Mets jerseys. He just loves facing.

1678
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 2: I love the trade for Herman Marquez.

1679
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 3: Someone Brough actually this up on Twitter the other night

1680
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 3: when talking about Herma Marquez, John Gray, all these guys.

1681
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 3: Do you ever remember a pitcher who actually left the

1682
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 3: Rockies and actually got good? No, right, it's just something

1683
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 3: we say, but it actually doesn't really happen.

1684
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 2: Well, maybe it just messes you up so badly.

1685
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't come back that, like you haven't throw

1686
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 1: a curveball in seven and you're also.

1687
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 3: Dealing with an organization who uses pencil and pen yeah,

1688
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 3: and pencil and paper.

1689
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 2: Like, there's no player development on the pitching side. It's

1690
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 2: it's marvel that some pitching development, but it's not any

1691
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 2: pitching development that can be applied to anything else, because

1692
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 2: you're learning how to pitching coorse field, which is like

1693
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 2: kind of an impossible feat and I don't even.

1694
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,439
Speaker 3: Know how to do it that well, so it's almost

1695
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 3: like not even worth it. So ell, it was weird.

1696
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 3: These guys like John Gray left and he's still just

1697
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 3: like May. He's still exactly the same guy in a

1698
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 3: way more pitchure friendly ball, and he learns an incredibly

1699
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 3: effective new pitch, but like everything else still so bad

1700
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 3: that they're like we got something at least, Yeah.

1701
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 2: Herman Marquez.

1702
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 3: He owns us hopefully he up, hopefully, he thinks, hopefully

1703
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 3: doesn't like the snow. But in Saturday is going to

1704
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 3: be David Peterson versus Austin Gomber And he's kind of

1705
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 3: spider Man memish.

1706
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah a little bit.

1707
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: They're both just like kind of ganglysh larges who kind

1708
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: of don't they don't really have like the greatest stuff.

1709
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: I think Gomber is like decent. He was also high traffic.

1710
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: I don't if I remember correct I believe so.

1711
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 2: I think he's like, everything's okay with Gomber, right, he

1712
00:57:58,320 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 2: has anything great.

1713
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 3: I think he's a good curve if I remember correctly,

1714
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 3: he's good off three pitches, but that kind of gets nullified.

1715
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 2: And good thing they traded for him for trading old

1716
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 2: Aeronado for him, and they gave him money out of

1717
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 2: ridiculous million dollars.

1718
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: And then Sunday in a matchup of a game, is

1719
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of balls in play. I hope

1720
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: I jenks had Taiwan Walker versus Chad Cool. Yeah, Chad

1721
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: Cool has got what good slider good slyder good slider hitable.

1722
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: He's been pitching for the Pirates in the Rockies basically

1723
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: his entire career. That should tell you a lot about

1724
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: Chad Cool exactly.

1725
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 3: And then after this series, we're heading to San Francisco

1726
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 3: against the team that we beat as very good. So

1727
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 3: we got to take two of these Rockies games. Just

1728
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 3: score ten a game game, which is really possible.

1729
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, really really well. We put the bat in the

1730
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 2: ball this year.

1731
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: For sure, especially with how much we get on base

1732
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: ball is gonna hopefully fly a little bit more, although

1733
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be cold and a scene. The balls

1734
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: definitely fly more in hot weather.

1735
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 2: But light air light, oh, light air light are in Colorado,

1736
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 2: light air that might help us out. Hopefully we get

1737
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 2: some runs, hopefully get some wins. I feel good, I

1738
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 2: feel all.

1739
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 3: Right, I feel fine. I want I want to see

1740
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 3: it first. But then that's also the snowstorm coming. They

1741
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 3: could use an off day, could use one, but a

1742
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 3: doubleheader also kills us, of course, yeah it does, and

1743
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 3: we also don't. We're not gonna have an off day.

1744
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 3: We're playing.

1745
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,479
Speaker 2: We're in San Francisco on Monday. How does that work?

1746
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,800

00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: far ahead.

1753
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 3: We got to take these six weeks as kind of

1754
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 3: like it's on entity right now.

1755
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 2: It's like almost a playoff race these next six weeks

00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: right here. You gotta just be five hundred over six weeks.

1757

Speaker 2: Say what's up to? Everybody? Have a beer, enjoy yourself.

1761
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 2: Great beer in Colorado.

1762
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 3: Of course it's a great beer. Also all the other

1763
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 3: beers out there. Odell's brewing is really good. That's all

1764
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 3: I remember. Actually right now, I'm.

1765
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: A course man. So for my Corse field, I'm drinking

1766
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: course of course.

1767
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 2: Sponsor us. You think cheap out there, because like this

1768
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 2: is their field. Like how much you got to charge

1769
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 2: it for the beer?

1770
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: Dollar one dollar if you drink course one dollar beers

1771
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: and and that, and the when the game style of

1772
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: course field, that'd be chaos.

1773
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 2: Four hour games out there. What a mistake they made

1774
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 2: making the rotten the Mountains blue on their There should

1775
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 2: be pople feel this for the Rockies in Purple. Oh

1776
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: my god, what a mistake. All right, well, I don't

1777
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,520

1778
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 2: the team, No, absolutely not. Man, we've sidetracked a bit.

1796
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 3: had no range, because it was I've said this before,

1797
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 3: maybe not on this show, but another podcast I've done. Originally,

1798
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 3: I made my Baseball twether was free Peter Alonzo because

1799
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 3: that's when we were hoping for Peter A. Lonzo to

01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 3: actually make the major league team in twenty nineteen he

1801
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 3: did make the team. I was like, well, this doesn't

1802
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 3: make any sense anymore, so I stole one of my

1803
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 3: friend's team names and Dynasty Baseball League. Man, it's either

1804
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 3: couldn't field, didn't fit the character counts, it may either

1805
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 3: had no range, and it got me enough laughs over
