00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: social media. I'm not sure if there's gonna be a

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: video out for this one. So if you're listening to

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: it good, that's definitely gonna be there. Video y might

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: not be there if you can tell I'm in a

24
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: different spot, James isn't the only new spot available for today.

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be both of us here. I'm back home

26
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: in New Jersey, So I don't know how the video

27
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: is gonna necessarily work because we're a little bit on

28
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: a crappier computer at home. But we'll try it out

29
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: and if it works, it works. If it doesn't, too bad,

30
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to listen to it. But we had

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: some Mets baseball this weekend, and after the absolutely atrocious

32
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: series that was Chicago, we had three very very we

33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: said it earlier, like independent games from each other, some good,

34
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: some bad.

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was as if all of these three games

36
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with the others. Like the Mets

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: had different lineups every game. The Nationals seem to have

38
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: the wrong lineup every game. I don't know how to

39
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: describe the Nationals hitters, but they all just seem wrong.

40
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 2: Something seems incorrect about that roster.

41
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Outside of Trey Turner. That's a pretty horrendous team. And

42
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: you've been saying it for a while now, but I

43
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: thought their pitcher was gonna be able to step up.

44
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: But Max Scherzer on his own just can't do that.

45
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: It's crazy that the second best hitter in the team

46
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: right now is Josh Harrison. We'll get into this more so,

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: but there's no one hitting the ball hard in the

48
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: entire line.

49
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Josh Harrison doesn't have his hands together on the bat. Yeah,

50
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: they're separated on that. That's a new thing that he like.

51
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: It's like apparently some kind of revelation that sah or

52
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: hitting coach made with him and mechanics. I haven't read

53
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: enough about it to understand it, but it's kind of working.

54
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: He's kind of having renaissance.

55
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: He's having a good little starts this season. Again, like

56
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: we said, outside of trade turn, I mean, Josh Bells

57
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: looked pretty horrendous. Awful schwar we two awful, bad, bad

58
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: and Yadiel Hernandez was the only other guy really hitting

59
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: the ball hard all series. But we'll talk about that.

60
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Might as well just hop right into Game one, right,

61
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean, let's talk about it. Mets took two out

62
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: of three. Of course, you guys know that you're Mets fans,

63
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: but Game one was a great way to start the series.

64
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: After the horrendous performances in Chicago, we got Jacob de

65
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Grom on the mound doing de Gram things.

66
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: We were pretty down on Thursday night Friday morning. When

67
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: you guys listen to us, it was pretty obvious how

68
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: upset the both of us were. We were having We're

69
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: having a little too much fun, not having fun. It

70
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: was just live anger, frustration, and a lot of it

71
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: was probably tied to anxiety as to the Met's putting

72
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: up another stinker for de Gram and this thing just

73
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: the negative momentum, just taking his team out of control.

74
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: But thank the heavens that Jacob de Gram is a living,

75
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: breathing god. The man is a deity. It he He

76
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: not only is the best picture in baseball right now,

77
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: but I would go as far to say he might

78
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: be the best player in baseball. It's gone that far.

79
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: I wanted to tweet that the other night. I ended

80
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 1: up just going with the best picture of all time,

81
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: which it's this crazy statement, but I don't know if

82
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: we're seeing a picture like really have this kind of

83
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: success over a sustained period of time, Like, yeah, pictures

84
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: have had great primes and pictures have had great stretches.

85
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: We saw what Kershaw and I think foolish baseball another

86
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, baseball content creators said it, Well, Kershaw might

87
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: have been better in his little stretch of time than

88
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gram. But there's no one that's just like

89
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: more encapsulating to watch, and no one as dominant. Jacob

90
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: de Gram doesn't just beat you, he destroys you. He

91
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: just pounds you into the ground. And he's also hitting,

92
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: which is even crazier to add to the scenario.

93
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: He's hitting. I don't want to say he's hitting as

94
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: well as he's pitching, but he is hitting better than

95
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: he's bet hitting better than the league average. It's unbelievable.

96
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: He has more runs scored three and RBI's two than

97
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: earned runs all year one. Just that gestures on home run.

98
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: That's the only earned run de Grom's given up, and

99
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: he's accounted for five runs at the dish himself.

100
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: We were there to see that. Yeah, the one earned

101
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: run by Jacob de Grim so far, it's twenty twenty one.

102
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Real jinks.

103
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, maybe we stay away, but.

104
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: Again, like Jacob de Gram, he's definitely due for some

105
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: negative regression. His e ra sits at point three to

106
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: one and his FIP is all the way up at

107
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: point eighty five, So we have to be worried for

108
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: that moving forward. Sarcastically, of course, if that didn't come through,

109
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: it's just this whole thing is becoming just like really preposterous.

110
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: To watch him pitch Twitter on Friday night, does it

111
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: seemed like every single person in the baseball world was

112
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: locked in on Jake. He broke Shane Shane Bieber's record

113
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: for strek ass through his first four games that he

114
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: broke from Ylan Ryan, Like what last week, Yeah, you were.

115
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: Talking about it. We mentioned you're like, you know, everyone's

116
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: you know, I think you said sucking off Bieber, like

117
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: the Grom's gonna destroy that. It's not evena even close.

118
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: And we were talking about the swing strike numbers from

119
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: the ground it went up to twenty four point two.

120
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: After this last start, his k rate went up to

121
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: forty nine point five. Corbyn Burns I saw tweet Alex

122
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: Fast tweet. This is why it was such a funny

123
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: way to say this. But it's crazy that Corbin Burns

124
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: I started off this season with for these strikeouts and

125
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: no walks and is unequivocally not the best pitcher in baseball. Like,

126
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: no one would even argue that.

127
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: Jacob deGrom was must watch baseball. He always is. But really,

128
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: against the Nationals, we might have seen possibly the best

129
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: game that he has ever pitched. I know, he's taken

130
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: some no hitters deep into games.

131
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: That's the third time you said that this season. That

132
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: is the best game I've ever seen Jacob.

133
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: The Grom pitch, I know, and Hee, he just keeps

134
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: getting better. He just keeps getting better. I mean, was

135
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the fifteen strikeouts was a career high? I believe right, Yeah,

136
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: it was, or at least tied a career high, whatever

137
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 1: it was. And he was thrown I mean one hundred

138
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: down to the final pitch. His slider was on point.

139
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't strike out fifteen guys and you're

140
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: not on point. He went nine innings and it was

141
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: the easiest nine innings I've really ever seen a pitcher, Dude.

142
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: The crazy thing was that he only threw those two

143
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: pitches basically the entire game. He was fifty one percent

144
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: four seemed fastball, forty two percent slider for nine innings.

145
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: He sprinkled in a couple of change ups that's freaking

146
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: ridiculous that he could do that. He sat ninety nine

147
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: the whole time, the whole goddamn time, and.

148
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: I think the first inning he was only throwing one

149
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: oh one. I think I saw like four or five

150
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: one oh ones in a round. Like this dude is

151
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: literally like just he's playing a different game right now

152
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: than everybody else.

153
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem pott, it doesn't seem real the things

154
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: that are happening. Especially watching Jacob de Gram's entire career

155
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: to the point we've gotten to now, it's like, is

156
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: he's lying upbout his age, like it's something else going

157
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: on here that we don't know about. And he he

158
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: was so pinpoint pristine with everything. Baseball Savanta does the

159
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: release point graphs after every game. You can go to

160
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 2: their player breakdown to illustrate the release point. His release

161
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: point every single pitch was like exactly the same, like

162
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: it's basically the same dot. There was no difference. He

163
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: did not throw any fastballs below the knees this game,

164
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: and he didn't throw any sliders above the belt. Completely

165
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: locked in with those two pitches. He was putting them

166
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: anywhere he wanted, and the craziest craziest craziest at from

167
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: this game is the ground only encountered one three ball

168
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: count this entire Friday night against the Nationals, and it

169
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: was a three to two count where the count was

170
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: worked back to three two and he broke off with

171
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: three two change up and got the strikeout, one of

172
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: the handful he threw the entire game, and he broke

173
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: it out in the only three ball count he had.

174
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: Like I was watching the game. We're at Ernie's house,

175
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: and you guys don't know who Ernie is, but I'm

176
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna just say because James knows who Ernie is. And

177
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: we were watching it at his house and or apartment,

178
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: and it was just like we stopped what we were doing,

179
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: and we're like, this guy is literally doing things that

180
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: like some of the greatest players of all time do,

181
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Like we're experiencing what is gonna go down as one

182
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: of the greatest pictures of all time. Like he is

183
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: somehow only getting better. It doesn't make any sense. Pictures

184
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: don't do this. I don't care how many innings you

185
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: have on your arm. You don't all of a sudden,

186
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: in turn, what is he thirty two thirty three?

187
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: I think he is I think thirty three. I'm double

188
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: checking you right now, but thirty two. He'll be thirty three.

189
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: June nineteenth, Jacob the Gram's birthday everyone circled on your calendar.

190
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, everyone wish him a happy birthday. But you

191
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: don't go into your thirty two to thirty three year

192
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: old season and start throwing one hundred and one and

193
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: just get so significantly better than you've been and you

194
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: were also a two time say Young Award winner, Like okay, yes,

195
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: you could have been a say Young Award winner and

196
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: continue to get good. But he is like pitching. He's

197
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: MVP talks right now with how good he is.

198
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: Dude. Yes, I was actually about to bring this up.

199
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: I just added to the note since we started talking.

200
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: Jacob de Gram started the year at fifty to one

201
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: for MVP, and as of Saturday morning, he's at sixteen

202
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: to one on the regulated sports books. I'm not gonna

203
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 2: say that because we're hoping for sponsorship someday, but of course,

204
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: give me that money for a pitcher to have moved

205
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: that much. And Jacob de Gram has only appeared in

206
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: four baseball games this season, and his odds have traveled

207
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: from plus five thousand plus sixteen hundred.

208
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: Like he's one of the guys where I don't think

209
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: you even need to necessarily understand baseball or know what's

210
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: going on, but you watch him and you just go,

211
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: he's really good. Like he's just he's better than everyone else.

212
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: He makes baseball simple. Oh I throw hard, you don't

213
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: hit it. And I also step up to the plate

214
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: now and I get hits too. Like he's no show.

215
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: Heo Tani. He's not in four hundred fifty foot homers,

216
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: but he's sitting five hundred, and I think it's like

217
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: I think his every number.

218
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: Six for eleven, that's five forty five.

219
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: He got the RBI double in the game, which broke

220
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: you know, the got us on the board because God

221
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: forbid the Mets runners or hitters ever scored for Jacob

222
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: de Crum early in the game.

223
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: I kind of want to get to that, but we

224
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: were texting some pretty cynical shit in the first five

225
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: innings of that game. But when it was zero zero

226
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: and Eric Fetty was shutting out the Mets. Eric Fetty,

227
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: who actually looks better than you, just passed so far.

228
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: But I digress. He's still not good. He's Eric fetti

229
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: bats woke up, but I think it's only because Jake

230
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: woke them up. He took he took the sleeping, the

231
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: sleeping teenager and just shut the shit out of him.

232
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: He's like, listen, guys, look at what I can do.

233
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pitch and hit. Now, you guys just have

234
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: to do the thing that you're supposed to do, which is.

235
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: His first period starts in eleven minutes. You have to

236
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: get out of bed. You have to get out of bed.

237
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: I like that analogy. I like that because he really

238
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: did wake them up. After that, they did start to

239
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: put in some better at bats start to you.

240
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: Know, but also it just really felt like more of

241
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 2: the same until until he got the RBI double. It

242
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: was like a shit, does here we go again. We're

243
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 2: gonna go six, seven, eight, It's gonna be zero zero

244
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: game Jakeson'll lose with like in the tenth inning of

245
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: a shutout.

246
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be terrible, a solo homer or something. But

247
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: we as we know that didn't happen. Met's got a

248
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: what six nothing win? I think it was on the

249
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: first game, six nothing, which six five? Sure, I would

250
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: love to know the last time the Mets scored six

251
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: runs for Jacob deGrom. I mean, we've got to be

252
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: talking about twenty fifteen to sixteen.

253
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: That's an exaggeration, but it feels like that. The one

254
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: other thing about the lineup I wanted to talk about,

255
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: not the line about certain player I want to talk

256
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: about from Friday, was Lindor. I have different notes I

257
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: want to say about these last two games about him

258
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: at the play, but he looked really good to dish Friday.

259
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: He put three hard hit balls in play two over

260
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: one hundred and five miles an hour. It felt like

261
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: he was turning a corner. It feels like he turns

262
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: a corner every game, and then he turns back around

263
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: the corner. I guess some stuff I want to say

264
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: about that later once we get into game three.

265
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: And then yeah, like the wonky lineup, it was a

266
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: little weird. You know, de Grom hitting eighth, which ahead

267
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: of Thomas nit which is always a little bit in

268
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: the face to the hitter. But also de Gram is

269
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: just a better hitter than Tomas Needle. Let's be honest.

270
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it worked like I was really skeptical. I was like, oh,

271
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: this is shit. I don't like they're trying this stuff.

272
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: But de Grom's just a good hitter. We can't really

273
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: deny it anymore anymore. And McNeil put the bat on

274
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: the ball a couple of times too nicely.

275
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: Too. Yeah, I think, I know McNeil's struggling, but like

276
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: I think he definitely likes to hit towards the top

277
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: of the order a lot more than being like that

278
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: middle of the order kind of guy, like at the

279
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: five or six spot, because he just looked a lot

280
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: more comfortable on Friday Night. He looked a little bit

281
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: more like the Jeff McNeil that we've known and seen

282
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: and you know, been watching for the last few years.

283
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: The rest of the series is a different story. But

284
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: he did get a hit.

285
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: It was weird. It was like a hard hit sandwich.

286
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Like.

287
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: The only guys who put the ball in play over

288
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: ninety five miles an hour were Nimo, Lindor McNeil, de

289
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: Gram of course, and Nito, who put Nita put together

290
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: some nice.

291
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: At bets, which is surprising because Nedo in the past

292
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: has had some atrocious at bats.

293
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: He's looking better, Yeah, No, going back to last year,

294
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: Nito's put out a couple like a nice sample size

295
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: where he's an okay hitter, and he had great hitting

296
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: chops all throughout the minor leagues. Like I'm pretty sure

297
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: he won a Singler Blay batting title dating back to

298
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: the beginning of last season. You know, it's a very

299
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: small sample. I know that they're only thirty seven played appearances,

300
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: but one sixteen WRC plus slugging five hundred five percent walks,

301
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: nineteen percent strikeouts. Backup catcher who is great with the glove.

302
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: You get away with that seven days a week.

303
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, And like you said, like in the miners,

304
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: he had some hitting success in the past. I know

305
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: I've looked at his like perfect game profile even from

306
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: when he was a high school player, and one of

307
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: the things that they like raved about was how good

308
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: his bat was. So there is a bat somewhere. Sometimes

309
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: it looks like he's swinging through water, but at other

310
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: times he hits the ball pretty well.

311
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: He just seems like he he's like the constant ketcher

312
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: at the plate where he seems to be very he

313
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: seems to be aware of at least what's going on.

314
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: So when he when he's on, when he looks good.

315
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: Calling Thomas Neiito on ever, it's kind of weird, but

316
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: I think we're talking about Thomas need too much. Let's

317
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 2: move on the game too, Yes, let's move on to

318
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: game two.

319
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: Game one was fantastic, big win, Mets needed it, and

320
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: you thought that was going to be the game.

321
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: Then where it. Yeah, it seems like to get some momentum,

322
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: we picked up Jake, we're on the roll. Ace number

323
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: two is on the mount and that did not happen.

324
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: No. Game number two was pretty horrendous all around, and

325
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: like it felt.

326
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: Like it's a Grom hangover.

327
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: It basically got off to a terrible start right from

328
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: the rip when the ball got hit to Canfordia on

329
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: rightfield and you just showed up, missed it and Harrison

330
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: got a triple out of it, yep, triple. You know

331
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: quotation marks that that was just a bad recipe for

332
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: the start of the game because Stroman even got out

333
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: of it pretty well. Don made a strong throw at home.

334
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: He still scored on a sack fly from I think

335
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: Yadio Hernandez or whoever hit it at the time, and

336
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Strum got have it only given up one run, but

337
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: it started. It kind of set the tone for the Mets,

338
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, early on the ropes down. Stroman didn't have

339
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: his best stuff, which I know you're going to go

340
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: into a little bit here. It was just not like

341
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: a clean game for the Mets.

342
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: Now, that was I said before the Grom hangover. It

343
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: just felt like a dead fish game. It felt like

344
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: no one was even more the task to being there.

345
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: It was on FS one, which I didn't really appreciate. Again,

346
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: I'm watching I'm watching these games from the Midwest, so

347
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: I don't have as much access to Gara Keith Ron

348
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 2: as i'd like. But it just, I don't know, the

349
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: whole thing felt like a strange game. It was like

350
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: just wasn't exciting to watch. But to again into Stroman

351
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: a little bit, but this is just this is just

352
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: the Marcus Stroman slash contact pitcher experience. If you're not

353
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: striking guys out above like a twenty twenty five percent clip,

354
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: there's gonna be days where ball gets put in the play.

355
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: When the ball gets put in the play and your

356
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: team's defense isn't great, sometimes it's just not gonna look

357
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: that good. One thing I really didn't love about yesterday's

358
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: game with Stroman is he leaned in with the sinker

359
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: more than any other start this year. He threw it

360
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: fifty three percent of the time. His next most throne

361
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: pitch was his sly there twenty two percent. He didn't

362
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: throw any four seemers first time all years, and I

363
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: didn't love that because I thought he's had a little

364
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: of success with it. It was nice for him to

365
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: mix it and change the eye levels a little bit.

366
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: And with that pitch mix he only induced five withs

367
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: the entire game, which also is just pretty bad. When

368
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: you if you're not the Brewers or any of these

369
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: other elite defensive teams, you can't you can't win like that,

370
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: especially when you have two guys in the outfield making errors,

371
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: like it's just it's just not gonna happen. Yeah.

372
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: The Mets defense also like that they threw out there

373
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: wasn't strong. I know they're trying to, you know, ride

374
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: the JD train here a little bit because there's bad

375
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: has just been incredible. But he no, he didn't make

376
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: any errors. He didn't make any issues in this game.

377
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're just just ricksishot for JD.

378
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: Davis because he deserves it after this week in the field.

379
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: Yes, but like the idea is that. You know, the

380
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Mets defense is terrible. The Mets defense is not good.

381
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: Their best guy this year has been Pete Alonzo, who's

382
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: that disgusting.

383
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: But just even knowing that, I wish that Stroman would

384
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: lean into that and try and induce some more swinging

385
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: strikes like his color on only fourteen pitches thrown, had

386
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: three of his five whiffs on seven swings. That's a

387
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: very good percentage, Like you would I would like to

388
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: see Stroman because he's done this in the past, did

389
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: it in twenty nineteen, and he's done it some starts

390
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: this year to really beef up that color usage because

391
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: he commands it damn well, and it's still ninety miles

392
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: an hour with some like good horizontal movement. The one

393
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: guy this year who has the largest jumping color percentage,

394
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to compare these two guys. I'm going

395
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: to compare these two guys. I'm not going to compare him,

396
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna mention it. Corbyn Burns. Corbyn Burns has

397
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: more than doubled his color usage this year and everyone's

398
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: seeing the results. Of course, I don't think that Stroman

399
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: has the Corbyn Burns ceiling because he hasn't thrown ninety

400
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: seven miles an hour, and his and his slide doesn't

401
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: spin faster than all the plants in the galaxy. But

402
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: it's just the idea that there is a repertoire inside

403
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: of Marcus Stroman's skill set that could be much that

404
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: could better fit this team's profile than what he threw

405
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: out there yesterday.

406
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Nationals lineup is just it really is

407
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: so tough.

408
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: I don't want to give these guys a shot to

409
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: hit ground balls and find the holes. That's all they

410
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: can do is hit ground balls. They're lucky to find holes.

411
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: They all Stink's lineup was awful.

412
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: The lineup is consistent of Starling cashtro Josh Harrison, who

413
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: Josh Harrison's hot. He's playing well, but he's still Josh Harrison.

414
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: And I'm never gonna be fearful of him except when

415
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: he plays the mess.

416
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: He kills the mess. He kills the killing. That Joe

417
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: Ross Ribby single yesterday, that was a backbreaker once it

418
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: was a killer. Yeah, once that happened, you kind of

419
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: were like, this game is probably over.

420
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just found a lot of holes. And like Stroman,

421
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: I think even a mid himself. He's like, I just

422
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: didn't have it, Like I didn't pitch well, and that's

423
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen. He's been so good for us all season long.

424
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: Not anything I'm worried about. I know you have mentioned

425
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: a couple of times the k rate thing is something

426
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on.

427
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: I mentioned it literally, I think two episodes ago or

428
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: maybe our last episode, that he a guy like Stroman,

429
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: He's gonna ocillate. He was due for regression because he

430
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: just doesn't strike enough people out. Balls are being put

431
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: in play, things are going to happen. That's an old

432
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: ass baseball saying, right there, you put them play, good

433
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: things happen.

434
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: Now. One thing that Showman wasn't responsible for was again

435
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: the offense falling asleep, which seems to be something that

436
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: we are probably gonna deal with all year long. Of

437
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: just there's just gonna be games where we are ice cold,

438
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: and that was one of them. Because Joe Ross is

439
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: not a good picture where you shouldn't be like he's

440
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: been better this year. It's been better, but his stuff

441
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: isn't ever where you should be getting shut out by

442
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: Joe Ross. With the quality of a lineup that the

443
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: Mets have and the amount of left handed bath that

444
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: we have that are good hitters, Like there's no reason

445
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: to not touch up Joe Ross.

446
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: This was the only game of the series. But I

447
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: looked at the lineup and it was like, nice, good

448
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: lineup today literally Friday and today Sunday. I was like,

449
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: what's going on here?

450
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like we got the canfordo home run, which

451
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: you talked about here, like it's a lazy you know.

452
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw a lot of people on Twitter. It's

453
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: gonna be our bad take of the week. I don't

454
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: have any hard tweets to show, but I remember people

455
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: being like, oh, Michael Canford though another home run. I think, actually,

456
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: you know who said this, Frank Fleming, Frank the Tank.

457
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever, he is, big narrative guy.

458
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, loves a good narrative.

459
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 2: But like it's just like lazy thing to say it all.

460
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: Could Ford the only hits home runs when the Mets

461
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: are down big? He Michael fourth. There is one hundred

462
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: nineteen career home runs. This is only the fourth one

463
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: ever when the Mets were down five or more. So

464
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 2: everyone shut the fuck up at Michael before the only

465
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: hitting home runs and the Mets are out of the game.

466
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 2: He's not Alex Rodriguez, like, give the guy a break.

467
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: He's starting to swing. He's starting to swing the bat better.

468
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: He has started swinging better. Seeing him hit a couple

469
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: off the wall, you know, the last few three or

470
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: four days, even in Chicago, hit went off the wall.

471
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: Still doesn't look like he's there. He still looks like

472
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: game on Saturday. The start bothered me. And I think

473
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: he even made like a horrible throw at one point,

474
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: and it was it was just it's frustrating because it

475
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: feels like where we've been hoodwinked, We've been swindled, because

476
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: this is not the Michael pozzled, bamboozled, this is not

477
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: the Michael conforda that we've been seeing. I'm waiting for

478
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: him to wake up. I think he's getting closer because

479
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: we are seeing better at bats now, we're seeing better

480
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: quality of bats. The you know, production is just not

481
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: there yet. But I think he's getting closer, and that's

482
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: at least a good sign me.

483
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: Like many view Mets fans out there, Michael four those

484
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: my mom's favorite player. So every single time he does

485
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 2: anything that's even remotely good, I get a text all

486
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: Caps Michael I'm like, there's no one even calls him that, And.

487
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 1: Then it didn't help that Stephen Tarpley also came in

488
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: and simellulator. Steven Tarpley. I think that might be your

489
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: first and last appearance as a New.

490
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: York We might see Steven Tarpley in July, once we

491
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: get a rash of more injuries that we have to

492
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 2: get ready for it. Thank god, Gazelman saved the pen yesterday.

493
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: That was pretty nice.

494
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: Three innings out of him of what one hit baseball

495
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: I think, and no runs. That's really strong. And that's

496
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff like we need from Gazelman because

497
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: even though the Mets lost that game, it put us

498
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: in a good spot for today where we didn't have

499
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: our bullpen that was being used. He ate up three innings.

500
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: That's huge, that's huge, and if it wasn't for Tarpauli's

501
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: blow up, we're in that game still definitely.

502
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: But that we've touched on it a little bit this year,

503
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: but that is going to be Gazelman's role this season.

504
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: He has to come in and just mop shit up.

505
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 2: When we're winning by a lot and we're losing by

506
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: a lie. You have to save everybo the else. Just

507
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: help everyone else please.

508
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: And if he can do that for us, that's fantastic.

509
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: At Robert G. Salmon part of the Sea Team bullpen.

510
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: As we've mentioned, we saw a lot of Sea Team

511
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: bullpen today. We also saw Jacob Barnes, who had another I.

512
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 2: Know the color actually looks like it might be coming around.

513
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: He's certainly still part of our Sea team, but he

514
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: looks he's gone from simply horrific to possibly mediocre.

515
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: He's gone to maybe, hey, you come in the game

516
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: and I don't go, oh my god, I'm gonna turn

517
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: the game off and watch a different Chane we go.

518
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: He might get he's alright, he's had some.

519
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: Cleaning happened there. And also just to throw it back

520
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 2: to confurth it real quick. I just noticed this. He

521
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: put three balls in play yesterday one hundred miles an hour.

522
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: That's big. Just keep doing that, man, they'll find.

523
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: It, especially even with Jacob Barnes. Like just the reps guys,

524
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: the Mets are finally starting to get into that string

525
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: of games now where we've played days in a row.

526
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: Granted two off days this week, yeah, two off days

527
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: this week, which is insane.

528
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: That's such a crazy comes up. It's crazy schedule.

529
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: You're starting to see these guys playing a little bit more,

530
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: starting to be a little crisper baseball. And Jacob Barnes,

531
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: I think is a good way to show that that

532
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: when he doesn't have fifteen days off between appearances, he's

533
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: not atrocious.

534
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: Get out.

535
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna find any positives out of the game,

536
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: the Sea Team bullpen picked it up a little bit

537
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: despite Stephen Tarpley, but he was only up again because

538
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: of you know, guys being used so much recently, and

539
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: you could send people down like Hildenberg. Hildenberger. Hildenberg, what

540
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: is he?

541
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: We've been calling him Hildenberger. I'd like to stick with

542
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: that until we're proved, otherwise, until he's back on the

543
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: roster and I can see his name on it s

544
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: and why he's Hildenberger.

545
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: That game was it was just a bad game. You lose,

546
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: you lose some the Mets. It wasn't like the Mets

547
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: blew this game. They just were the worst team, the

548
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: worst on Saturday time. Those are the games I'd rather

549
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: see than when you rip my heart out and stomp

550
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: on it and go I remember when you thought you

551
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: were gonna win, not this time quickly.

552
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: I also like to just mention that familiar worked a

553
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: very clean ending. Look pretty good.

554
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: You know that's my boy.

555
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, somehow, for some reason, that is your boy. I

556
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: don't understand how we're going nasty stuff.

557
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: He's got nasty stuff.

558
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 2: I love Familia's stuff, Yar's Yerry's Familia is like a

559
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: walking aneurysm for a Mets fan. Every single Mets fan

560
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: looks at her Your's Amelia and Jesse clutches themselves and

561
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: just falls over it. Can't, I just can't. I like him,

562
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: I appreciate him. He's a fine member of the bullpen,

563
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: but I will never trust him.

564
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: He's he's a great B team bullpen guy. He's the

565
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: guy who it's a five run lead, he can close

566
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: the game out in the ninth.

567
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: Cool with that. He might still be a member of

568
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 2: my C team. I don't know. I haven't. I haven't.

569
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: I haven't, I haven't. I haven't released my rankings yet.

570
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: Now we move on to Game three, where Game three

571
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: was a win. For sure, it was a win.

572
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were stressed about this lineup this morning.

573
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm super stressed about it because I saw what do

574
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: we see VR and al Mora, and I mean, let's

575
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: just call out Mora what he is. He is a

576
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: defensive outfielder. And even then he's like, I mean, he

577
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: made a nice play today?

578
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: Which nice play? He made an incredible play. I retweeted

579
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: it just before we started this show, and you'll see

580
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: it hopefully if you follow me on Twitter. It's either

581
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 2: had no range, but there is an unbelievable call in

582
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: the Spanish station of al Brow Morris catching center fields.

583
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: Everyone's gotta watch it. It's an electricity back to this lineup.

584
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: Thank god we have JD. Davis Jumbo dong mashing in

585
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: the middle of it, because if not for him, we

586
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 2: probably I don't know how this game was gone.

587
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: Was it called? JD? Davis? Eight seven seven runs? Now

588
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: that's the meme that everybody's trying to run with. He

589
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: has been fantastic at the plate as bad as he

590
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: is in the field.

591
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: He is so good at the place, astoundingly good at

592
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 2: the plate, like he is crushing the ball.

593
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: And he also owns Patrick KORbin literally lives in his

594
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: back year.

595
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: You can four though two for some reason, which is

596
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: really funny because the lefty lefty.

597
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: And VR got the start today too, because VR also yeah.

598
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, how we mentioned that on the radio broadcast today.

599
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: It's so weird that all these guys just own Patrick Korben.

600
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: It's his story really been like one of the better

601
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: pitchers in baseball for the last five years. We put

602
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: three random guys together, all happened to own him.

603
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: More made a great catch. That's you know, when he

604
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: comes in and plays, that's what he's gotta do because

605
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: he is not going to offer you anything with the bat. No,

606
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: but if he can make plays like that, hell yeah,

607
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: go play center field for me late in the games.

608
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm in due the next inning. He'd like put a

609
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: ride into one and it looked like he was going

610
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: for a second and just died like twenty five yards

611
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: feet before the fence, Like, oh yeah, I bet more, hitic.

612
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: I remember Taiwan was so I was in the car

613
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: for most of the game, so I was listening to it,

614
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: So I can't really tell you what I saw, but

615
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: I can tell you what I was here.

616
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: I listened to most of it too. I watched the

617
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 2: first two innings then hit the car, and that first

618
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: inning was a little bit stressful. He it was a

619
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: very shaky star for Taiwan. He just couldn't really seem

620
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: to locate anything, and thank god he picked off. That

621
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: was Harrison he picked off because it was a hit,

622
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 2: pickoff hit, and then like a couple three ball counts,

623
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 2: it was stressing a little bit and then but he

624
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: really did settle in afterwards. He still wasn't particularly sharp,

625
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 2: but he got bailed out by some very quick innings.

626
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 2: Met's played pretty good defense today. Overall. Nationals ran into

627
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: a couple other outs in the bass pads. Victor Roebliss

628
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: turning second to third on a leadoff gapper as an

629
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: eight hitter is mind boggling baseball.

630
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: Especially when the pitcher's up next and he's gonna bunch

631
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: you over and you're gonna get there because you're Victor Roblez,

632
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: so you're not getting out at third being on.

633
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: Third base for the picture being up, it's not that

634
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: big of a deal. No, it's the infield's probably gonna

635
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: play tightan's gonna hit the ground ball.

636
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: Somewhere or strike out, and they're in the same spot.

637
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: But you risked being out, and that's exactly what happened.

638
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: Metz executed a great cutoff, which was nice to see.

639
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was actually awesome. That was a really good play.

640
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 2: But back to Taiwan for a moment. But he just

641
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: didn't look sharp. He just kept kind of pitching the

642
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: contact and it was working. At first, I thought it

643
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: was gonna be like his last couple of starts where

644
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: he couldn't you couldn't really find the distance. But balls

645
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: were finding gloves and he mixed He mixed up his

646
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: repertoire very well. Today. He threw four pitches at least

647
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: sixteen percent of the time, and his fastball led the

648
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: way thirty four percent, and then the splitter, the slyder

649
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: and the sinkle. We're all just like very casual parts

650
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 2: of the repertoire. He could these guys couldn't find him.

651
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: It was awesome. It's awesome to see that. It was

652
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: really seemed to be like a grown up pitching moment

653
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: for Tywan Walker, where he didn't really have the feel

654
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: of these off speed pitches, but he could locate them

655
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: just enough to get out, not get the strikeouts. His

656
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 2: velocity was down a little bit. He was sitting ninety

657
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: three point seven today, which is about a whole tick

658
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: lower than he sat the whole year. But again, this

659
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 2: is Tywon Walker. We're seeing him move on from a

660
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 2: young guy with stuff who we can't corral to the

661
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: inklings of a wily veteran who can do things on

662
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: the mound to get his team out and get length

663
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: when he doesn't have it all working.

664
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: The gutsy performance. I love calling pitching performances like that

665
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: gutsy because there were moments in the game where it

666
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: could have just blown open. I mean, he walked Patrick

667
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: Patrick corbyan pitch today. Pat walked Patrick Corbur on four pitches.

668
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: That was right. That was the batter after the rollblist

669
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: during out his third he those four pitches weren't even close.

670
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: After the first three balls, he stepped off the mound

671
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: and like took a roundabout and he's like big x

672
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: Haley sigh. He stretched out, he got back up. Pitch

673
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 2: was so far outside it was crazy. The fourth pitch, well,

674
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: why did you even take the break?

675
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: It's so funny to watch, like, especially in this series

676
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: because we got to see them all three in a row.

677
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: You have Jacob de Gram on the mound, dominant, calm, cool, collected.

678
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know if he's pitching bad or or well.

679
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: Then you have Strowman who's out there who you know,

680
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: little little flamboyant, He's got a lot of emotion, a

681
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: little bit of this, And then you got Toarmin. Walker's

682
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: like a little bit of the bulldog in that, like

683
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: he's always like it looks like he's always like ready

684
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: to just like run through a brick wall and he's

685
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: walking around the mound. He'll say shit to the umpires. Like.

686
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: It's so interesting to see the different kind of personalities

687
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: that the mess pitchers have and on any given day

688
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna be you know, also great pictures as well.

689
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: And Taiwan, even though he didn't have the sub today

690
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: again it kind of goes back to that bulldog mentality

691
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. He just got through it. He pushed

692
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: through it. He didn't have the stuff, but he pushed

693
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: through it.

694
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: He really he bodied it. To take a really weird word,

695
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: I was just feeling it. He bodied this game today

696
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: facing a triple A lineup. But like the guys who

697
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: can do damage, then do damage. Traight Turner didn't touched

698
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: the ball. Schwarber put a ride into that one center

699
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 2: field when the game wasn't the balance with too men on,

700
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: but I Moore made the catch, he picked him up

701
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: like yeat a good defense. He picked up good pitching,

702
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: and you execute on offense timely hitting this This is

703
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 2: a recipe for winning baseball games. The one negative I

704
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 2: didn't want to pull from this game today is I

705
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: there were a couple of instances where lind'or this happened

706
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: this whole series, this whole season. He just seems to

707
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: be squeezing the bat too tight. His pitch selection isn't there.

708
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: Feels like he's just trying to do too much. He

709
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: showed frustrations today after he had a three to zero count.

710
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: It was fifth or sixth inning. I think a man

711
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: might have been on, but I'm not positive, so don't

712
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: quote me on that. Oh a Lonzo may have just

713
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 2: drawn a walk, like the idea that he took a

714
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: three to zero pitch right down the deck like it

715
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: was middle in, and then he lunged at a sinker

716
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 2: that was like low end falling out of his own

717
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 2: like it's exactly what he wants you to do, Like

718
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: he like he is in his own head, and not

719
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like he's playing. He's not played the

720
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: carefree guy that we've seen for years. He's playing tight,

721
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 2: he's reactive, not proactive, he's not aggressive in the right times.

722
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: Like there's just he's showed frustration. Showing frustration the first inning.

723
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I think.

724
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: I think when you get Well Lindor with a three

725
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: hundred and whatever million dollar contract is three hundred million,

726
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call it that because I don't remember

727
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: the exact number. I think he wants to prove to

728
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: Mets fans like, Hey, I'm worth it, I'm gonna be

729
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: your guy. I'm gonna be that player. And I think

730
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: that's like not necessarily the right mentality for someone like

731
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: him to have. Like we saw him in spring training.

732
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: He was bawling out in this because he was trying

733
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: to prove, you know, like be like I'm good, You're

734
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna pay me, this is what you want. Where now

735
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: it seems like something is switched, and it's it's probably

736
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: something as small as just like him putting extra pressure

737
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: on it, like instead of trying to just be the

738
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: player that he is, because when he is playing his game,

739
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: he's one of the best players in baseball. There's no

740
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: doubt about it. They put up a stat the other

741
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: day during the Mets game where it was like players

742
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: who hit thirty homers forty double over a three year

743
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: stretch or something like that, and the other guys that

744
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: were in that same boat or whatever and an eight

745
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: to fifty ops. Same guys that were in that boat

746
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: were Albert Poolholst, Miguel Cabrera, Lou Gerig and Alfonso Soriano.

747
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: Alfonso Soriano is a weird outlier because he's a freak

748
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: of nature baseball player that will probably never really see again.

749
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: But the other three guys are first baseman who hit

750
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: for power and are some of the greatest hitters of

751
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: all time. And I know it's a small sample size

752
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: to call him one of the greatest players of all time,

753
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: but he's definitely not there yet. But we know that

754
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: he can play like that, and he's just putting so

755
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: much pressure on himself. Probably a little bit too, because

756
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: the Mets fans are a little antsy, the team's a

757
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: little antsy. He's waiting to be that guy he's brought

758
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: in here. He seems tight. He's tight, and that's not

759
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: Francisco Indoor. He's mister smile. I need to see some smile.

760
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: I need to sell those teeth.

761
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: And the frustration could be building over because he did

762
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: put a he did hit a couple of balls really

763
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: hard two days prior. He didn't really get much a

764
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: show for it. He put that mom at fal ball

765
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: one was that he had a mama's foul ball. Today

766
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: it's not mamasau Well, I'll be hit a foul ball

767
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: that was like a snidge away from being out, like

768
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: a nice opo shot. It's it's so close he's take

769
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: Like up until this point, he was taking good pitches.

770
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: He was having good at bads. He was drawing a

771
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: lot of walks, not tracking out very much. He's just pitch.

772
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: Usually issues and pitch selection come from especially when a

773
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: guy is such a long track record, that come from pressure.

774
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: It comes from thinking too much. Yelwick had this problem

775
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: last year right after he signed the contract and he

776
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: was swinging everything. He was trying to make all two

777
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million in one game. Like, that's not

778
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: what you're here for, man, Just play your game. You're

779
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: one of the best players in baseball. Just stick with it,

780
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: trust the process, Just be you.

781
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: Be you, and I think a thing even like JD

782
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: coming up right after him and hitting the home run,

783
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: I think really does help with like taking a deep

784
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: breath of me, like okay, like even though I didn't

785
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: do my job, someone else picked me up, and that's

786
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: like a huge thing. Like that's what makes baseball like

787
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: such an interesting team sport is that's so individual, but

788
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: it still is a team thing. And Lindor failed at

789
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: his opportunity to, you know, make a move, but Jad

790
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: picked him right back up. And even knowing that there's

791
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna be someone there to get you, that makes you

792
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: play a little bit looser, that makes you play a

793
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: little more relaxed. And it just seems like that's something

794
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor needs right now because really, up until this weekend,

795
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: the Mets have just not looked particularly strong at the plate.

796
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of pressure on Lindoor's shoulders because

797
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: he's hitting at the top of the order, right in

798
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: the middle of the lineup. Nimo's on base every freakin

799
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: at bat, and he just hasn't been able to do anything.

800
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: So he's definitely feeling the pressure, like you said, playing tight,

801
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: not worried about him though he's gonna figure out.

802
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: He's too good.

803
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: He's simply too good and he's a historically slow starter

804
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: as well.

805
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: I was really I don't even know that, but I

806
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 2: have a fun question for you. Would you move him

807
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: down the order to relieve pressure?

808
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this actually today. I think right now,

809
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: as crazy as sounds, I put McNeil back in the

810
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: two hole because I really do think or you either

811
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: go Nimo, Alonso, dom JD lindor you hit Lindoor five

812
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: and you go Confour. But it's it's such a weird

813
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: order because that's not conventional at all, and you can't

814
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: hit Lindor five like because he is gonna break. I

815
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what to do with the

816
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: lineup here. I this is one of the few times

817
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: where like Luis Rojas has been experimenting with guys at

818
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: the top, as long as it's not Kevin Pillara and

819
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: Albert Yeah, besides the first Yeah, I'm not gonna complain

820
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: about the top of the order because he's trying to

821
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: figure it out. It seemed like Pete in the two

822
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: hole did pretty well the other night.

823
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: Pete seemed very comfortable in the two hole. I kind

824
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: of liked how that looked and felt, especially with the

825
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: lefty righty lefty rithy. It's still like the same exact premise.

826
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: It looked pretty good.

827
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if Lindor in the three holes

828
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: the right move. I don't know where he goes right now.

829
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the year, you probably

830
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: are gonna see Lindoor hitting three or two. I think

831
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: that's probably where he finds a home.

832
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I think. I like Francisco Lindor in

833
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: the two hole. We've said that since our first episode.

834
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: He that is I think the premiere lineup construction. But

835
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: when you're not hitting, you're not hitting it. There's a

836
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: lot of rallies that have died at the hands of

837
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor, and you're waiting for that moment where he

838
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: does it. He does, he's gonna do, He's gonna do it.

839
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: It just hasn't really happened yet.

840
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: It hasn't come yet. It's going to come.

841
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 2: It's going to come. There's no way it doesn't come.

842
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: The Mets are too good, These guys are too good

843
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: for them not to hit for the entire year. Like,

844
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: there's no way Francisco Lindor sticks with an OPS below

845
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: six hundred. There's literally no way I would bet anything.

846
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: I bet my first born who.

847
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: Cares naming rights to their firstborns. Francisco Indoor finishes with

848
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: an ops below.

849
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: Six Chiloupa Batman Chiano.

850
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: Yes, of course that's that's a winner right there. Maybe

851
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: he'll be hitting third for the Mets one day he's

852
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: at the lineup is I don't know what to do

853
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: because the guys that are playing well right now, you

854
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: play the hot hand to move them up, but you

855
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: also know that's not the right place necessarily.

856
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's that that goes against everything we've said

857
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: about this team all year. It's that you want to

858
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: have consistent lineup structure, and now they've actually settled into

859
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: one where like, let's change it up, Like where are

860
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: the assholes?

861
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: It's it's tough, a good good thing. I'm not the

862
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: manager of the Mets. As much as I like to

863
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: give Luis Rojas from crap I, sure as hell wouldn't

864
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: be doing a better.

865
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: Job now if this is a difficult team to matchage.

866
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: We're still dealing with the fallout from Brodie Van Wagon's

867
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: roster roster construction. The UH philosophy a little transition right now.

868
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: The one parting gift that Brody did give us. My boy,

869
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: he shouted me on Twitter today. But my king, Miguel Castro, lanky, lanky, God,

870
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: he was electric today. Struck out the side, two hits,

871
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: two hits, but he's truck out the side. He's truck

872
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: three guys out. That's traking out the side. He has

873
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 2: really cinched up the middle of this bullpen in a

874
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: great way.

875
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed, but Gary loves him,

876
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: loves them. Gary. He was pitching, he was pitching. I

877
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: don't even know if it was ignosed today or maybe

878
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: the previous appearance, but Gary's like Miguel Castro is just

879
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: like filthy. His stuff just moves like he's he. I

880
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: think he actually said he has the most electric stuff

881
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: in this bullpen. He's coming out and throwing strikes two.

882
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: Which has always been the big thing with Miguel Castro

883
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: is he always got behind in counts, and the reason

884
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: he got hit hard was because he was in three

885
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: oho three one scenarios and then he'd have to throw

886
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: ninety eight mile per hour fastball down the middle, which

887
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: any major league hitter can hit it when you especially

888
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: when you know it's coming. But this year he's been aggressive,

889
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: he's been attacking batters. He's gotten into that mode of

890
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: like my shit's good, try and fucking hit it. And

891
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that from relievers, try and

892
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: fucking hit it.

893
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: Please, those are the best relievers. Like I'm gonna throw

894
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: a strike, figure it out, hater does that.

895
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: We've we've we've even seen that a little bit more

896
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: with Edwin two this year is he's kind of just

897
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: attacking batters and it's really worked. And he looked he

898
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: looked sharp again today. I ended up having a really

899
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: good series. I think we also got to talk about

900
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: my boy Alonzo to a little bit. Four of eight

901
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: in the series. He's getting the power going, he's getting

902
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: the back up.

903
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 2: He looks great. It's average two sixty seven right now,

904
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: which is if he's nine to seventy. Oh p, he's

905
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 2: sitting at two sixty seven. He drew the nice couple

906
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 2: walks today. I love him. Pete draws walks.

907
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: If Pete Alonso is finishing the year at two sixty,

908
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: we're seeing another forty home run season out of him.

909
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 2: So he Alonzo finishes the year above two sixty, there's

910
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: gonna be preying mass in Avenue and we mess might

911
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: not win the World Series, but it's gonna be me

912
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 2: throwing a parade for Pete for hitting way way above

913
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: his projections.

914
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we saw him also again in the series

915
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 1: very patient at the plate, which I love patient Pete.

916
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: I love patient Pete.

917
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: Two walks say, there's nothing that gives me more comms

918
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: in Pete than when he sits there. He spits on

919
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 2: the sly there. It's nice you see him.

920
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: You see him do his little thing with his bat.

921
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: He's he's sizing up the pitches. That's when you know

922
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: he's feeling good.

923
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: He I wish he could give some of his good

924
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: vibes to everyone else in his lineup. He looks so

925
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: in control of the plate, more so than he ever

926
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: has in his career. We just might be seeing the

927
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: growth and maturation of an elite player.

928
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: Had he also has been playing really good first base.

929
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's at the unbelievable.

930
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: He's still The tosses the first are always an adventure.

931
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: He loves to make the pitcher jump and land on

932
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: the base, which is just oh my god, my heart

933
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: stops every time I see the pitcher get into the air.

934
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: But he also made a great diving stop to end

935
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: the game, which Pete's defense has very much improved in

936
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: this short season. We'll see how long it lasts, but

937
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: right now, Pete Alonso is a much better player than

938
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: we even saw his rookie season, and I'm really excited

939
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: to see what he's gonna do the rest of the year.

940
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: He's a bright spot right now in this Mets lineup

941
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: along with JD. Davis. I've been really, really good.

942
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: Well, wrap up right here, may move on a couple

943
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 2: of words about the Red Sox series we got coming up.

944
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, besides, I mean, the first thing I can think

945
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: about when I hear the Red Sox series is that

946
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: the tickets are way too expensive and I wanted to go,

947
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: but there were like one hundred dollars to sit upper

948
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: decks and I said, Nope, not yet. You ain't gonna

949
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: do that to me yet, New York Mets. Not now.

950
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: It's crazy. The Mets in the Red Sox are such

951
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: a weird combination of teams because their fans are united.

952
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 2: There's the Mets in the Red Sox have such a

953
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: mutual respect for each other just through hating the Yankees.

954
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: And yeah, and like I feel like the Mets, and

955
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: like their whole vibe is similar to like the Boston

956
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: sports vibe. We're like, we're mean, we're underdogs. You know,

957
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: we're not a blue collar when now win, not these

958
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 2: rich guys over here. We come here. We're a couple

959
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 2: of blue collar guys.

960
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: You live and die. You know, blue bleed orange and blue.

961
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: They bleed red, which is what most people do.

962
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 2: But big, big shout out to the people MLB for

963
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: scheduling and Met's an off day at home. Well, I

964
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 2: guess it's nice for the guys have an off day

965
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: between two home series, but then off thing on Thursday

966
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: before heading to Philadelphia, so New York City the Philadelphia

967
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: not that far away. And then Sunday the Mets have

968
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: another game Monday in Saint Louis, and then they got

969
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: Philly to Saint Louis Sunday to the Monday, and then

970
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: they have a Thursday game next week in Saint Louis

971
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: and then have a home game on Friday against the Diamondbacks.

972
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 2: So the Mets have two off days here sandwiched around

973
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 2: some non travel and then they got game game, game

974
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: game next week moving around the country.

975
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm all for getting on MLB for their HORNDU scheduling

976
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: because it has been terrible to start the year.

977
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: Always awful, It's always awful. The Mets, thankfully don't have

978
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: this thing that most of the other teams have where

979
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: they'll play a series against the team and then play

980
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: a series and then play another series against the team

981
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 2: they play before, so they wipe out the entire season

982
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: series in one week. I love when they do that.

983
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 2: It's the best.

984
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: The Red Sox we also get a little bit lucky

985
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: here too. They're they're offensively always great. You know they're

986
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a great offensive team. One through nine in

987
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: that lineup can hit, and even like a guy like

988
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Dolbeck, who has been struggling mightily, is a guy

989
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: that I do have a little bit of fear for

990
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: at the plate because he's just so strong he makes

991
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: contact with it.

992
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: It's going to definitely we've been talking about Pete taking

993
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: that step up as like an elite player becoming elite

994
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: for do Go this year. I've been on this guy

995
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: for years and years and years. He's been one of

996
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: my favorite prospects in baseball since I was probably like

997
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 2: twenty years old, Like he's been around for a minute. Crazy,

998
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: how long this guy's been around the block. He's freaking ballplayer, man.

999
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and JD's back to being an MVP hitter type player.

1000
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: Bogarts, he's hot, rap up with a big stick. These

1001
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: guys are all hitting.

1002
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: They're all hitting. They're pitching. Though. We get lucky because

1003
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: we get to see Garrett Richards Game one, which while

1004
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: Garrett Richards, Garrett Richards is joining the Chase Anderson chie

1005
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Chie Gonzales club of guys that stink that we get

1006
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: to face.

1007
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 2: I will not put my name on that because Garrett

1008
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: Richard still throws way harder than both of those guys.

1009
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 2: So I will not I will not put Garret Richards

1010
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: in the same breath as Chase Anderson. You see you

1011
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: Chase Anderson did today? Our boy, you see their boy

1012
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: Chase Anderson did today. He got walloped by the Rockies.

1013
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: Like the hot the dangerous Colorado Rockies line up full

1014
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: of rhyme, mel Tapia and Trevor's story and that's about it. Yeah,

1015
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: the pitching is weak. We get Richards against Peterson game one,

1016
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: de Gram against Pavetta Game two, which that's a great

1017
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: matchup because Pavetta has been pitching well. Yes, Pavett has

1018
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: been looking really good. The player that the Philly thought

1019
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: they had finally showed up in Boston, which great. Go

1020
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: have go pitch well in Boston. Album rooting for you,

1021
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: Nick Pavetta, except I hope you get smacked on Wednesday.

1022
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and aside about the Red Sox, we have to

1023
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: start looking at players that the Red Sox acquire, like

1024
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: we've been looking at players that the Rays acquired for

1025
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Because heim Bloom runs the

1026
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: Red Sox. He's the architect of the Ray's Way. He

1027
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: actually wrote a manifesto. It's called Like the Rays. I

1028
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 2: think it was called the Ray's Way. It's like their

1029
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: system for player development. I only I've tried to find

1030
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 2: copies online. It's sparse. The guy's a freaking genius. Heim

1031
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 2: Bloom was writing articles on BA Small Prospectus in like

1032
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: the late nineties early two thousands as a college student.

1033
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 2: I think he went to Yale, studied the classics. He's

1034
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 2: a worldly man. I'd love to have dinner with hein

1035
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: Bloom go.

1036
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: I got like, Paveta looks really good, but then you

1037
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: also have like a Franchie Cordero, which He's looked about

1038
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: as bad as you can be.

1039
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 2: Franchie Cordero is to hitters what Nick Pavetta is to pictures.

1040
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: It's like, why aren't you good? I can try and

1041
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: figure this out. You should be good.

1042
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: You run fast, you throw the ball hard, you you

1043
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: do everything.

1044
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 2: Why can't you be good at bombs? Yeah?

1045
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: But you're just not good. So I'm probably gonna eat

1046
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: my words. I'm gonna eat a little crow, and he's

1047
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: probably gonna go yards.

1048
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 2: I was watching a Socks game last week and Franchie

1049
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: was up there. One of the SOXS announcers is not

1050
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 2: a fan.

1051
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 1: Oh dude. I tweeted about this. I put out a tweet.

1052
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: I put out a tweet I said, the SOXS announcer

1053
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: is not feeling French Cordera like he had a terrible

1054
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: at bat and he goes, man, this guy looks terrible,

1055
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: straight up said how bad he was. It's like, oh

1056
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 1: my god, I couldn't even imagine Gary Keith should be like, man,

1057
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: would you would you see that bat byel Indoor? This

1058
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: guy stinks, like, oh my god.

1059
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: They say that sometimes they say that. Sometimes they say.

1060
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: Oh, that's not a great at that. But the whole. Like,

1061
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: this guy's just bad at the plate.

1062
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 2: I don't think you remember August Keith. We haven't seen

1063
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: August Keith in two years. Keith after one hundred games

1064
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: of the season, he'll be like this fr guy. Some

1065
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: of these at bats really bad. Another Red Sox I

1066
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: want everyone to watch out for this series, reliever Garrett Whitlock.

1067
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 2: I don't know where he came from. I don't even

1068
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: know if he was like human being or HIIM just

1069
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 2: created him or whatever. But the guy is disgusting. We're

1070
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: gonna see him at least for an inning or two

1071
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: of this series to keep a look at. Watch him

1072
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: strik the Mets out.

1073
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta, we gotta swing against the Red Sox.

1074
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna score runs. It's especially against a guy like Peterson,

1075
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: which is a bad matchup, bad, bad, bad.

1076
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: Bad matchup for a soft throwing lefty.

1077
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: They love, especially like when you throw Kek into that line.

1078
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: They love a good left max lefty. He was doing

1079
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 2: it for years.

1080
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: The guy at the only thing he can do.

1081
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but he freaking does it well and he

1082
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 2: and he plays he plays competent defense in multiple positions. No,

1083
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 2: no key case land.

1084
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: There he's a slander.

1085
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 2: Keek has a ball player.

1086
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: He's a ballplayer, but he's not on my team, so

1087
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: fuck him.

1088
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 2: Hey, all right, the military man, all right, he's sure.

1089
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: I guess I guess that makes it better. I don't know.

1090
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: But Red Sox they're playing really good baseball. I don't

1091
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: you know. We gotta win.

1092
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: Win.

1093
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: De Grim's on the mouse.

1094
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: We got at least take that. That's gonna be that's

1095
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 2: gonna be fascinating. That's by far the best offense that

1096
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: the ground will have seen this season. And it's gonna

1097
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 2: be really cool to see how he dices them up.

1098
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: We're in first place. We're winning games even if we're

1099
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: not playing That's what I think I love about this

1100
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: is we're not playing well when we're winning games. Still,

1101
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: this is not a team that's clicking on all cylinders

1102
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: by any account.

1103
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 2: It's very clear. Still for this weekend, I don't think

1104
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 2: it's really clicking on any.

1105
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: No, like de Grom. De Grom clicks. That's about it.

1106
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: And and the bullpen. The bullpen's look decent this year.

1107
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: Jeremy hefner Man gotta give him some credit.

1108
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: He's got to give them a lot of Jeremy the

1109
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: straw that starts to drink right now. This guy's amazing.

1110
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see what Noahsindergard does with Jeremy

1111
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 2: Haffner as a pitching coach. My god. Also, what we

1112
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 2: thought was gonna be the best division in baseball. The

1113
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 2: Mets are the only team the National League East over

1114
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 2: five hundred as we sit here on Sunday, April twenty fifth.

1115
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: Braves have no bullpen, Nationals have no bullpen, and their

1116
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 2: starters are not that good and their lineup is bad.

1117
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 2: Nationals is just bad. The Marlins are scrappy, but they

1118
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: just don't have enough Major League Baseball players and they're

1119
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 2: bullpen is iffy. The Phillies have a couple starting pitchers

1120
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 2: and then they have a couple of black holes, which

1121
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 2: again we also knew. And this bullpen looks a lot

1122
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: less deep with Alvarado being out this whole week.

1123
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, like the

1124
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: positive take out of the mess is again bad baseball.

1125
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: We're still in first place and win ugly whatever it's

1126
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna take. The negative eleven run differential. I would like to,

1127
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 1: you know, get green.

1128
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll find a way if you If you don't

1129
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 2: want me in my first place minus eleven run differential,

1130
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: You can't have me my August fifteenth, when we have Carrasco,

1131
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: cinder Gard, Strowman, and.

1132
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: De Grond, that team's gonna be a lot of fun,

1133
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: especially when we're hitting. Oh my god, I can't wait

1134
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: for that baseball. It's coming though, It's coming definitely, But

1135
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: that is gonna take us to the end of this episode.

1136
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: We got a little off track, but yeah, we we

1137
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: fun little ramble. We were due for it. We've been

1138
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: nine episodes here. We've been pretty on point. You know,

1139
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: last last episode you got when we were upset. This

1140
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: one we got a little scattered brain weird. A couple episodes,

1141
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: this one might not even be on YouTube, so that

1142
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: adds to the even weirder scenario here. We're just gonna

1143
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: miss episode number nine on YouTube probably, But we've been
