1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Get Up, Get Up?

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: Who Wow? All right, Welcome back, guys to another episode

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: of the Mets Up Podcast, the official podcast of the

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: New York Mets. This episode looks drastically different after what

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: we just saw for the last few winnings of that

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: Game three between the New York Mets and the Cincinnati Reds.

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I was ready to come into this episode

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: starting off with a groan, a moan, a disgruntled sound.

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: I was upset. It was not a great start. It

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: was not looking good. But luckily Hunter Strickland ninth inning Mets,

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: almost almost midnight, Mets. It was a long game, a

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: very long game. They came back and they won, and

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: we're feeling great. We're buzzing it completely. Did a one

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: eighty three sixty three sixty would be the same spot. Okay, yeah,

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: we did a one eighty and we're feeling great because boy,

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: oh boy, this could have been a disaster of a loss.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: But luckily we don't have to talk about a disaster

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: of a loss because the Mets win. They win the series,

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: as they seemingly do all year long. They win Game one,

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: they lose Game two, they win Game three. Of course

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about everything that happened in this series,

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: as well a little bit of our Fourth of July

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 2: activities because we have some fun things to talk about

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: in our personal life. I'm sure you guys would love

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: to hear us talk about as well as maybe maybe

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: mentioned some trades as well. So if you guys are

Speaker 2: It really does help us out. And I mean, I

35
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: already brought you in, But how are we feeling after

36
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: this game? Because I'm feeling so much better, significantly better.

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: This was going to be one of those episodes where

38
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to tell people to not be really

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: upset and not be really really scared of what was

40
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: to come.

41
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: But when it was a really easy game to get upset,

42
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: and like I would.

43
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: Have icy series too, Like I wouldn't say this game

44
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: would have been disaster to lose because the way it

45
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: was going and the way you were going into it

46
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: like it wasn't really it was like a loveside pitching

47
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: matchup or anything. Just the way they lost on Tuesday,

48
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: that would have led into the way you could have

49
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: possibly lost this game on Wednesday. Would have been extremely

50
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: frustrating with just ground balls and not coming not getting

51
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: clutch hit.

52
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: But put that behind us, Yeah, no, put behind us.

53
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: We won game three. I mean we normally go in order,

54
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: but whyn't just jump into game three real quick because

55
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: we're hot. It's and the Mets. We had David Peterson

56
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: on the mound who just came back from Colorado because

57
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: David Peterson's wife finally had her baby, a healthy baby boy, finally.

58
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: So happy for the Peterson family. I'm sure she's relieved

59
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: as well that she's no longer pregnant. Absolutely and just

60
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: got the ordeal over with. Yeah, what was it like

61
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: three weeks of labor? It seem it was one actual

62
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: week of labor, which has gotta be awful. I'm glad

63
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: we never have to deal with that. I don't know

64
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: nothing I can even respond to about that. That's true.

65
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: That's true when David Peterson, who's someone we've been really

66
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: high on, started off the game kind of well and

67
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 2: then kind of got a little bit cold. It was

68
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: a little bit of a shaky start for David Peterson.

69
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 4: Well.

70
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: Also, the Mets gat on the board first in this game.

71
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 3: It feels like a lifetime ago is in this game began.

72
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: It's six forty, it's ten forty, and we're starting to retort.

73
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: This four hour marathon of a game feels like. Also,

74
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: Meta have his score one of these padded first ending

75
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: runs in a very long time, even as much as

76
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: Brandon mostag Marte have gotten on Basse pie Alonzo and

77
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: Francisco pi Alonza, Francisco Lindor. It's John made the joke

78
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: he said the game flew in our chat, which is

79
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 3: not true because he made this show a couple of

80
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 3: days ago, and he slows down every single game, and

81
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: he's the one trying to get to bend.

82
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: He's cracking jokes, extending the recording.

83
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 3: But we haven't as much success driving in runs with

84
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 3: the middle of our order with Francisco Lindoor and p

85
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: Alonzore kind of slowing down the run producing pace.

86
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Over the last few weeks.

87
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: But Pete had a big two out single keep his

88
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: first inning going, and Jeff McNeil, like he's done so

89
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: many times this year, had a very big two out

90
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: first inning RBI. So we're up on nothing. Peterson comes

91
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: to the mound. It's like, just right away, it felt

92
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: not as good as the last few Peterson starts, where

93
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: he had I think eighteen strike gats and zero walks

94
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: over his last two games.

95
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: Started.

96
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: He hit Jonathan India with a back foot slide there,

97
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: literally hit India's back foot. Yeah, first battery of the

98
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: game with two strikes. And that's just how that Brewers

99
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: game started. Remember about a month ago we were there

100
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: or Neesso's birthday, biggest Jonathan VR fan in the world,

101
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: and he got big Doll played good at that ending.

102
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: And Peterson did do a good job in this game

103
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: with so many base runners allowed, not really letting anything snowball.

104
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: But the command was just very simply not there. Maybe

105
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: it was the traveling back and forth of Colorado, the

106
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: changing of altitudes. Mark has the theory that he's gonna

107
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: share right now.

108
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked like David Pearson maybe puked. I don't know.

109
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: He at one point like put a fluid in his mouth,

110
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: it seemed like, and sprinted into the clubhouse as soon

111
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: as it got in there. He sprinted in came back

112
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: out relatively quickly, which makes me think he either had

113
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: a flu game or he puked. Maybe he just had

114
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: to chuck a little bit and then he started to

115
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: maybe feel a little bit better. But the game kind

116
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: of almost felt like it got shaky after he puked.

117
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: It was just I think the whole thing was kind

118
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: of shaky, Like there were tons of walks. He walked

119
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: every single Reds bather five through nine than the other,

120
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: including their number nine hitter Michael Papierski twice.

121
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: And Albert almro once who Albert altmra coming into this

122
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: game had I believe a one point eight walk. Two

123
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: point eight what incredibly low. That's like what one or

124
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: two walks.

125
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: On the ear.

126
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: Probably Peterson didn't particularly have it, but that being said,

127
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: he was good enough. Kind of yeah.

128
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: But also he walked Matt Reynolds, Like if anyone worse

129
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: in baseball to walk, then albertal Moore, it's Matt Reynolds.

130
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: He walked Reynolds before a Nick Senzel nice little home

131
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: run out to left field and swinging the bat pretty well,

132
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: but he just had some good defense behind him, and

133
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 3: mentioned Adele playing the first inning, her May made a

134
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: nice play. He almost was so bold and ambitious that

135
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: as he stepped on the bag it was right after

136
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: India got hit on the foot and he was a

137
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 3: little gimpy. He almost snapped through the third, but that

138
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: would have been a little nuts. Neo beiled him out

139
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: in the fourth inning with a backpick of Senzel who

140
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: was at second YEP, which was ridiculous play.

141
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: Not many catchers baseball do that.

142
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: Also, the inning after Nito tried his patented knee throw,

143
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 3: made a bad throw when brand Dreury was dead to

144
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: rights on a hit and run that wasn't executed by

145
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: Tommy fam and you you could have gotten out of

146
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: anyone no runs, but got his back and you also

147
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: had Urbi in between there two.

148
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Nito had a nice little game. Yeah, the

149
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: throws have always been money. The knee throw maybe maybe

150
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: not on every single throw. Maybe maybe went's only necessary,

151
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: but hey, it happens. We still love Tomas Needle behind

152
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: the plate. Catchers catchers actually kind of made an impact

153
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: in this game. Get to that in a second wrap

154
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: up Peterson, even with five walks in less than four

155
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: and he's still seven strikeouts and twelve whiffs, six with

156
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: his four seam fastball. Five with a slyther was the

157
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: return of Pierson's changed up. He threw almost twenty percent

158
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: of the time, not that many.

159
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: Whists with it, though not super effective, and he only

160
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: actually allowed four hits, hilariously, and all four were on

161
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: his four seam fastball. So I think we're kind of

162
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: an amazing spot where David Peterson has a bad start.

163
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: We can complain about it, you know what I mean,

164
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: Like we expect so much better from Peterson now that

165
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: he can do something awful like this, I mean, but

166
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 3: awful in terms of like five walks, yeah, less than

167
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: four innings, but still like limit damage, not letting anything

168
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: spiral like we've seen Dave Peterson do in the past.

169
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 3: And he's a little bit less experienced, less developed. He

170
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: did enough, along with the Mets bullpen, to actually keep

171
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: us in this game.

172
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, donalds Medina, how many times have we talked about

173
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: him stepping up in a game where he kind of

174
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: needs to clean up? Donalds Medina, I mean we've talked

175
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: about this guy multiple times now on the podcast, but

176
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: it feels like every time he comes in he just

177
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: does a really nice job of keeping the game close.

178
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: He got up to like forty nine to fifty pitches today,

179
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: which I thought was a little bit surprising. He's never

180
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: gonna do anything that makes you go wow at Donnas

181
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: Medina like, this guy is the next great things in

182
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: slight spread could breaking ball. He could breaking ball, and

183
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: he gets the job done for us and again kept

184
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: the game close, which is exactly what the Mets needed

185
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: because we really were playing better offensively sort of kind of.

186
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: We had what like eight hits in the first five innings.

187
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: Well, I want to spend a little time two minutes

188
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: talking about Graham Ashcraft, because of course you do.

189
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: The guy's a unicorn. It's ridiculous watching him pitch.

190
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: He's so different than most other pitchers in baseball because

191
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: he just basically only throws colors and sinkers. Sixty percent

192
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: colors in this one, I think like twenty five percent

193
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: singers with a few breaking balls off speed pitches mixed in,

194
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: but that color especially, he just throws it NonStop and

195
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: you make contact with incessantly.

196
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: He had no walks in one strikeout. Mets put twenty

197
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: six balls in play.

198
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: In this game and they couldn't even get close to

199
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: scratching anything out against him.

200
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: It felt like, yeah, I just watching Graham Ashcraft. Graham Ashcraft.

201
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: If his name feels like it should be grant At Ashcraft.

202
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: He could take it up with the Ashcraft Yeah, I'll

203
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: take it up with the Ashcraft family. But watching him

204
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: pitch in the way that the Mets were like sort

205
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: of kind of ish hitting him but not really for

206
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: any sort of authority or power. I was so frustrated.

207
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: I was to myself while we were watching this game,

208
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: cram ash Craft, like every couple pitches just because like

209
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: I know, you say he has the stuff, but why

210
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: he has the stuff?

211
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: I've been just saying he's not bad. It's all because

212
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: of this color itself is a unicorn. It's like very

213
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: ordinary in terms of like movement and like its the prochangle,

214
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: like the angle which it comes out of his hand

215
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: towards the batter.

216
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: That's your vertical approach angle.

217
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: But it sits like between ninety five and one hundred, yeah,

218
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: which is something with a lot of movement. So that's something.

219
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: And like coming into this start on the year in

220
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: a small sample. He hasn't pitched that much in the majors,

221
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: but eighty five bat of the balls against this UH

222
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: color a lot of pitches thrown. Fifty eight percent ground

223
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: ball rate, which is aborbitantly high, would be one of

224
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: the highest of the Major League Baseball for the whole

225
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: pitcher set. Average launch angle. I don't like average launch

226
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: angle because it pop ups like scent. It really high,

227
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: which is kind of dumb when you look at that,

228
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: and like people talk about launch angle. But the average

229
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: launch angle and gram color heading into the game.

230
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: Was blow zero. Yes, so no one hits in the name,

231
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: so not even.

232
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: Just ground balls, like balls are worm killers right away

233
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 3: right off the bat and even when people do lift

234
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: the ball in gram, Ashcraft's color heading into this game

235
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,119
Speaker 3: had only an eighty four percent exit velocity on flyball

236
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 3: and line drives.

237
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 2: Where else are you gonna get a deep dive on

238
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: Graham Ashcraft. I don't even know if a Red's podcast

239
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: will give you a deep dive on Graham Ashcraft. Maybe

240
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: like a really niche one, maybe a very niche one.

241
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you just saw it with the game. The

242
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: Mets just didn't hit him particularly, but you made.

243
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 3: So much contact. They had nine hard hit balls off

244
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: Ashcraft and they was all on the ground. He'd had

245
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: twenty six balls in play because, like I said, one strikeout,

246
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: no walks, thirteen round balls, so half our balls and

247
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: player ground balls, and six were pop.

248
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: Ups to be fair. Though, well, I guess that wasn't

249
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: technically against Graham Ashcraft now I'm thinking about it. But

250
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: the biggest ground ball of this game was the one

251
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: that came up with starring more tase bat late in

252
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: this game, which was not even a fair ball. It

253
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: looks like it looked like that ball might have been

254
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: six to seven inches foul. You're not an umpire, I'm not.

255
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I wasn't there. I can't make a call.

256
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: I wasn't there. We know Angel Hernandez was at second base,

257
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: so he actually didn't even make this call. But the

258
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: third base umpire he saw it. Fair ball don't lie.

259
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: That's what I'll say, ball don't line. That's when this game,

260
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: so I really don't think that call he actually made

261
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: the right call by ball don't lie rules.

262
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and credits of Brandon Nemo for getting on base

263
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: with a big single before that after getting a brutal

264
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: strike call.

265
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, umpire was all over the place all night.

266
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: I went.

267
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: The whole umpiring in the series was a little bit

268
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 2: all over the place. Angel Hernandaz's his crow. Yeah. There

269
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: was a couple of rookie umpires as well, Like, how

270
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: do you pair Angel Hernandez and rookie umpires together? Something

271
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: doesn't add up there.

272
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we tied it up in the ninth

273
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: after Adam Lavino. Afterwards, Adam Manvell pitched a clean bottom

274
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: of the inning. He's been incredibly good along with the

275
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: rest of the Met's Bullpemberage tonight. Awesome shot call hold

276
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: him and he threw a score sitting in between there.

277
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: I still keep this game at one run, even though

278
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: I don't remember if it was him.

279
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: No, it was that was him, right, It was him

280
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: who gave up a scary ball s and y cameraman

281
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: really didn't help us out there. My heart sunk. I

282
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god.

283
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: No.

284
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: And Jeffrey Nil made a really nice catch in left field. Nice,

285
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: I think I think he. I think he even also

286
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 2: misjudged it, maybe a little took a step too far

287
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: back jump to kind of reached out. But yeah, well

288
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but every time a ball

289
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: gets hit in the air in Cincinnati, I think I

290
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: have like PTSD from the bouncy Ball year. Oh no,

291
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: the game last year, well the game last year, but

292
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: especially the bouncy ball year, where it was like every

293
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: single time the ball got hit in the air there

294
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, that's a home run. It was gone.

295
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: Had this weird conversation. We were actually having this conversation

296
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: yesterday with our council. We celebrated Braid, this wonderful met

297
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: steal that we have. But people kind of forget that

298
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: before the Reds had that little hot streak after the

299
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: bouncy Ball year when they had twenty twenty, when they

300
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: had a very good team. This season got short and

301
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: then they just couldn't score against the Brads for three games.

302
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: They let Kevin Gousman walk before that season.

303
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so they could.

304
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: Have had a rotation in twenty twenty with Kevin Gousman,

305
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 3: Trevor Bauer, Luis Castillo.

306
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they could. They could have, and Sonny Graham believe

307
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 2: I'm glad they don't. Is that crazy? They got to

308
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 2: looking back like that could have won a World Series.

309
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: But I digress. Because team's not gonna win a World

310
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: Series for a long time. No, and they're not gonna

311
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: win this game either. In Game three, because we talked

312
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: about keeping it close, we get to the tenth thitting

313
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: and that's where everything busted open. Don't let Dom Smith

314
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: get hot. I told you it seems like whenever you

315
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: start to doubt Tom Smith is what he starts to

316
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: turn it right back on. He's been great since being

317
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: called back up.

318
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: He has nine for twenty seven since being called back

319
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: up from Syracuse. Talked about really using that time to

320
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: clear his head and just kind of relax and get

321
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: back into baseball. Also allegedly made a like a tactical adjustment.

322
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: He opened up his stance more so. He says, that's

323
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 3: nick get Gibson more able now to go swing through

324
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: breaking balls and just off speed pitches. And if you remember,

325
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: it was like the fifth inning he got that nice

326
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: double on the change up.

327
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: You know he's been hitting the ball well. That would

328
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: have been a home run in what like a bunch

329
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: of parks, right, Yeah, absolutely, I think definitely in Wrigley

330
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: and probably a couple of them. Oh, just one't actually

331
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: it was just Rich Joe just Wrigley. All right, great,

332
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: so what that's one? But got a double.

333
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: Six of his nine hits since coming off, since coming

334
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 3: back up from triple I have also been doubles and

335
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: he's just hitting the ball harder, more consistently.

336
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: I'm a doubles man, big doubles man, big doubles man.

337
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: Love to see Dom Smith swinging the bat well, especially

338
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: when I feel like a lot of the narrative coming

339
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: into the series during the series that the DH spot

340
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: hasn't necessarily been performing, and I think a lot of

341
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: people have their eyes set on some possible DH candidates

342
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 2: on the trade market that we could play in the

343
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: minor league out or in the minors. So it's good

344
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 2: to see that Dom Smith is maybe starting to heat

345
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 2: up a little bit.

346
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: And there is an opportunity for Dom Smith. Don Smith

347
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: gets hot right now, this will be his job again

348
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: for sure.

349
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: Oh, you have to play the hot hand you can.

350
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: You can earn this back. And speaking of getting hot,

351
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: James McCann big hit Jim came into the game because

352
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: Tomas Neio got pinched at four in the ninth and

353
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: James McCann huge, huge single, which like really extended the

354
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: lead in this game. No, not really. It literally extended

355
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: lead in this game and one run lead to I

356
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: think two or three runs. Oh well, especially with the

357
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: guy on base, Like that's that's now, okay, we can

358
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: breathe a little bit because the time runs.

359
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: Now, one run lead to two run leads, especially when

360
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: you're the road team and that extra ending. You're not

361
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: comfortable with one even with Edwin Diez coming into a game,

362
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: even the inept Reds.

363
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say.

364
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: I can say that now that we've won the series,

365
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't have said that otherwise. You need two

366
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: runs to actually give yourself a chance to win.

367
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: And they intentionally walked to Ormey the face, big hit, Jim,

368
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: biggest mistake they made. Do you think Luis ki Orme

369
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: has ever been intentionally walking in his life? You know,

370
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: that's a fun fact and I or fun question. That's

371
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: not a fact. Maybe high school probably, I'm sure he

372
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: was a stellar high I'm sure if he hits three

373
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: hundred the majors. I'm sure he hit six hundred in

374
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: high school baseball.

375
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: I mean, but I would love to ask him that, Like,

376
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: go back to this time being intentionally walked Cincinnati.

377
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: When was the last time you were intentionally walking in

378
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: a baseball So John just dropped us a stat twice

379
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: last season's Oh well, but that was a hit there, pitcher, Yeah,

380
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: with the pitcher didn't think about okay, that was that

381
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: was some oversight.

382
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: But also this McCann hit, need to shout out Tom

383
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 3: Smith because he was chugging around there. Not the fastest guy,

384
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: never has been, but he was working hard to get

385
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: there and he had an awesome slide phenomenal evading the tag.

386
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: The throw came in a little bit kind of behind

387
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: the plate and Dom went hardcore into.

388
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: The field hook. Also shout to Brandon Neimo because he

389
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: got behind the plate and he was pushing him to

390
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: the side, telling him you gotta get over, you gotta

391
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: get over. Good team baseball. Stuff you'd like to see

392
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: that is not going to show up in the books,

393
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: which shows up in the mind.

394
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: Also double shout out Brandon Nimo for his three run

395
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: home run right after.

396
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: That, which that felt almost like a lock. I don't

397
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: know why, but Brandon Nimo in those situations, like think

398
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: about the game in Saint Louis, he got the home

399
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: run right after some crazy stuff has happened like brandon

400
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: Nimo takes advantage of chaos.

401
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: Also, Brandon Neimo's game was built for Cincinnati Grant, the

402
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: Great American Ballpark. He would win MVP if he was

403
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: an never a day player here, he would be Winker.

404
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: He did thirty homers a year, get on base four hundred.

405
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: It's funny because him and Winker when they were coming up,

406
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: Jesse Winker. Everyone knows him very well. Mets fans now

407
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: they were compared the lot because they were guys who

408
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: could like, had big frames and looked like they could

409
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: tap into power but were never really able to do it.

410
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: But they had great play discipline. You have so many

411
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: Reds tidbits of this episode, I do. I got a

412
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: lot of information on this Cincinnat he read well.

413
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: Shout out my buddy Red, one of my best friends

414
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: from college. He was a big Reds fan. Okay, I

415
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: went to school in Ohio, Yeah, I went. I went

416
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: to many games of Great American Ballpark. Okay, it makes

417
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: sports sense. Yea half of the Reds for those years.

418
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: But we needed this so badly, so badly, this whole

419
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: episod would have been different.

420
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: My whole mood would have been different. Tomorrow would have

421
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: been different. The weekend would have been different than the

422
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: Mets lose this series.

423
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: I was, we were in the group text, you know, talking,

424
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: and I was I was Curmudgeony, good sat word, curmudgety.

425
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: We haven't said that in a while, and I sat

426
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: word of the day. But I was ready to be disgruntled.

427
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: I was ready to, like I said, you like this,

428
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: get mad and be all upset. But the Mets fought

429
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: back like they have all year. John gave us another

430
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: great sat here. It's the Mets tenth win win trailing

431
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: entering the ninth inning since the start of last season,

432
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: which is tied for the most of Major League Baseball

433
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: with Tampa Bay Rays Smart Baseball team. It's a crazy

434
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: stat That's like, I know that Bets have made so

435
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: many comebacks this year, but to see it like in

436
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: physical form is nice. There's one thing about that too,

437
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: that I think is undersold and we've been saying a

438
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: lot though in this episode and seeing the Rays being

439
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: the other team with that amount of comeback wins, it's

440
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: having a bullpen that is trustworthy. Yeah, and we've kind

441
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: of been saying all year.

442
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: I think this Mets bullpen is a little bit better

443
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: than a lot of the fans give a credit for.

444
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: Because the bullpen blows a game, it's easy to be

445
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: like these guys, sock, I hate them. I mean even

446
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: this single series, we saw Lugo Seth Lugo save a

447
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: game and then blow a game. Yeah, like these guys

448
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: just go back and forth his nature of bullpens. But

449
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: the fact that the Mets bullpen gives them a chance

450
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: to win more often than not, significantly more often than not.

451
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: That's how you stay in positioned and make these comebacks.

452
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: If the Mets were not losing this game by one,

453
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: they probably don't come back and win it.

454
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: No, Like, that's how you do it.

455
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: You don't let the other team get the insurance run

456
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 3: and you make a play, and that's how you win

457
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: games like this.

458
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: Yep, Mets end up winning the series on that one.

459
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: I know it's a little weird. We start with game three,

460
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: but the boys were buzzing. Like we said, after seeing

461
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: that win, me and James were out outside watching the game.

462
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: We're high five in screaming, yelling. It was like a

463
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: very cathartic Mets win. Needed that because it could have

464
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: been it could have been at least a little more

465
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: understandable for people calling for dooms that even though it

466
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: would still be crazy.

467
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people on my Twitter mentions freaking out,

468
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: saying it was terrible, awful team can't hit, And I

469
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 3: went back and I answered most of them after be

470
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: like eight runs, sixteen hits, one of the better offensive

471
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: teams in maseball. I know they were talking about, guys,

472
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: what game were you watching?

473
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: We are in such a fortunate position where we can

474
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: complain about playing well. Yeah, it's like one of the

475
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: three times in my.

476
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 3: Life the real first world problem with the Mets have

477
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: right now. Oh for sure, big first world problem. Almost

478
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: lost series to the Reds and Rangers, but didn't but

479
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: didn't but didn't did that four and two in that time.

480
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: We'll take it. We'll take it out.

481
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 3: We looked them in six and oh no, the only

482
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: ones was a seventy five percent of our games over

483
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: eight games. There's two not so good teams, but actually

484
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 3: two teams who have both been about five hundred since

485
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 3: the second week of April. Crazy enough, there you go.

486
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 3: The rest were three and twenty two, and they're twenty

487
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: five and thirty one. Since Okay, that's not a pushover,

488
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 3: but not a good team by any means. But that's

489
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 3: not a team that you is gonna lose every game

490
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: because they haven't.

491
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: And now to kind of backtrack a little bit, let's

492
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: talk about game one, fourth of July. Of course, a

493
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: great holiday feels like a month ago, feels like so

494
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: long ago. This was only three game series, but it

495
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: felt like a four I don't know how it's possible,

496
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 2: but we started off this game interesting as well. Hunter

497
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: Green on the mound. Yeah, dude throws absolute gas and

498
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: we saw it from the start.

499
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had the privileges Mets fans of seeing three

500
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: pretty interesting rookie pitchers in this game, three of the

501
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: better rookie pitchers and all baseball.

502
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: Hunter Green is nuts. He he started out this game like.

503
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 3: Not throwing as hard as we've gotten used to seeing

504
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: Hunter Green so far this year and in his young career.

505
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 2: He's only sitting ninety five and ninety seven.

506
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: By the fifth sixth inning, he was working back up

507
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: into a normal hundred Slytherer's ridiculous pitch. But he also

508
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: like the Hunter Green experience. You get two of the

509
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: first seven Mets batters of this game. Yeah, he's kind

510
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: of all over the place. The fastball is kind of

511
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: straight even though it's one hundred, and the Mets were

512
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 3: able to get the bat on the ball consistently, which

513
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 3: was nice.

514
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: When Nimo hit another Cincinnati home run and this they

515
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: were like, in the exact same spot. Oh yeah, that's

516
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: his sweet spot right there. That's like in city field,

517
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: that's right where the cutout begins in the right field

518
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: fly ball. But in Cincinnati it's a home run every time.

519
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: And when nice three run blast early in the game,

520
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: give us a nice little cushion two, which we always like.

521
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

522
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: But then Drew Brand, Drewy, former Met legend, possibly future met,

523
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: got right back with a three run home run of

524
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: his own.

525
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, the guy's the guys a hitter, and

526
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: his swing plays very well in Cincinnati. Everyone swing plays

527
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: well in Cincinnati. Yeah, I guess, I mean some of

528
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: the Mets swings did not play that one. Since the

529
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: night of this year, Lindor kept swinging the bat well.

530
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say kept swinging the back because this is

531
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: now Game one, but Lindor was swinging the bat better

532
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: in this game, so shot. His swing looked good, the

533
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: bat looked quick, and we are the rough Games two

534
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: and three of this series, right, very.

535
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: Rough also though still one of it has one of

536
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 3: the twenty highest furs and all Baseball on top ten

537
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 3: the National League. So everyone just keep that in your

538
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 3: back pocket. Even though these two games were bad overall

539
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 3: play still good.

540
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: Dom continued the scoring with a nice like we mentioned,

541
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: Little time Machine continued Little Time Machine because when Don

542
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: was beginning to get hot, if we just saw the

543
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 2: culmination of it and he was hot, and then Escobar

544
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: we got to run for basketbar as well. So like

545
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: the Mets really just were better than the Reds in

546
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: this game. Hit you hit Hunter Green.

547
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 3: He throws even though the fastball is one hundred miles

548
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 3: an hour, it's a hit the bule pitch. And just

549
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: I think this gave us like this was six runs

550
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: or seven runs at this time, something like that, and

551
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 3: that was plenty for Taiwan Walker, who was just ridiculously

552
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: solid once again. He went six innings on Monday night,

553
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: nine strikeouts, four hits, three earned runs all in that

554
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: one brand injury home run, just one walk. Interestingly enough,

555
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: this is one of the Tawae Walker's least with starts

556
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 3: in a long time. Few was wist he's had in

557
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: a start in a little while, only at eight Six

558
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 3: of them were on the sly there too, fastball, and

559
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 3: none of the split change, which was weird. First time

560
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 3: in a while. That pitch wasn't very effective and it

561
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: kind of seemed like he didn't have a feel.

562
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: For it, which is possible.

563
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, he only threw eighteen percent of the time on Monday,

564
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: which is which is the least often he's thrown the

565
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: split change in any start since his first real start

566
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: of the year in April thirtieth.

567
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: Well, you told me Cincinnati is a very humid city.

568
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: Does that have anything to do with a split grip? Maybe?

569
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

570
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: Why would they make it less though, I feel like

571
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 3: it's humors may get it better.

572
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: Maybe it's moist it slips, I don't know. I guess possibly,

573
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: but a lot of times the moisture helps a grip

574
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: on a baseball. Okay, I can see that. I know

575
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: that I own that that much about pitching, and I

576
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: feel like I also saw a cutter in this game,

577
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: just from spin on a slow mo again, it's yeah, okay.

578
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: Nice, Yeah, And that was a pitch he was throwing

579
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 3: a decent amount of earlier in the year. He hasn't

580
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 3: thrown it for about a month now. The last two

581
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: starts he thrown ten total.

582
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: Yep, we mentioned Holderman coming in Game three. Came in

583
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 2: Game one, nice clean inning, which is good because that

584
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: was his first appearance back from the IL. Right. Yes,

585
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: and he's he's a good He's a very solid believer

586
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: for us. He's talked about ABC team bullp and he's

587
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: right in the middle. He's the guy who will is

588
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: probably sticking his bullpen for a little while. And then

589
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: Lugo closed a lot with the save. Yeah, fourteen pitches,

590
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: only one sinker of the rest for fastballs and curveballs,

591
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: which a couple of sliders mix into but it slily.

592
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: Still not a bad pitch. Yeah, we tried.

593
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: We like the fastball curvebll that's what we like to see. Also,

594
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: a couple of more tidbits about Taiwan Walker. Thirty six

595
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: strikeouts over his last five starts tidd for his second

596
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: most over any five start span his major league career.

597
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: Thirty six strikeouts since June twelfth, fourth most in the

598
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 3: NL over that span. He was running like a twenty

599
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 3: five percent strikeout rate since Scherzer went down. He was incredibly,

600
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: incredibly helpful for us during that time in e ra

601
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: like around like the low threes. I tweeted out the

602
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: other day about how good Peterson and Taiwan were in

603
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 3: the forty games. A Shareser didn't play. Also, he was

604
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 3: just an absolute like marksman with his fastball. In this game,

605
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: he was just he only threw six to lefties. I

606
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 3: only know how many lefties the Reds even had the lineup.

607
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: May ye, I don't remember now, honestly, Yeah, it's been

608
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: been a long time. It is a long game.

609
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: But he was just like so dialed in that low

610
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 3: and outside corner to write these. If you look at

611
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: his pitch shark from the game, it was just filled

612
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: it up right there. But great game from the Mets,

613
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: great pitching from Taiwan, everything you needed.

614
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: Yep, No, it was really good. And it was the

615
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: fourth of July. As good as that Mets game was.

616
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 2: That might have been in the start of the show

617
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: that day because it wasn't even close. I'm sure you

618
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: guys are familiar with a man named Joseph Chestnut, but

619
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: he is just a freak. And I know this doesn't

620
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: really have to do with Mets baseball, But we have

621
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: to appreciate the greatness that is Joey chestnutt Fourth of

622
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: July and Joey Chestnut are literally synonymous.

623
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: It's just like we're living in a time where there's

624
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: like such a dominant person at doing something on Earth.

625
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 3: Whether you think it's like an athlete or a sport.

626
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: We can draw the line there. We will know exactly

627
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: where that falls. But Joey Chestnut every single year on

628
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 3: the fourth of July, like clockwork, is going to show

629
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: up a Cony Island at twelve noon and he's going

630
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: to dominate.

631
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: All of the best competitive eaters on Earth. I just

632
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: think it's so funny because like the Nathan's hot Dog

633
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: eating contests, basically for the time that we've been alive,

634
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: has been like two guys. It's been Kobyashi and it's

635
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: Joey Chests. Then Joey Chestnut is stuck through. It is

636
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 2: clearly the goat. But I also love seeing them like

637
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: prepare and get ready for this. Yeah, you see him

638
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: come off the bus and he had a broken foot,

639
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 2: so he's hobbling like there's a Super Bowl competitive evening. Yeah,

640
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: I know, there's there's swarms of people around and people

641
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: are going crazy to watch a man just devour hot dogs,

642
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: which is also one of the grossest things you can

643
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: watch someone do.

644
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 3: Absolutely, chestnutt put down sixty three dogs in ten minutes.

645
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: Second place only had forty seven and a half. And

646
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: he did this, Like Mark said, were they broken foot

647
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: and a foot that he broke a while ago. It

648
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 3: didn't actually heal properly. Some tendon issue, they said in ESPN.

649
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: And he didn't even train. He put down sixty three

650
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: hot dogs in ten minutes.

651
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 2: This flu game.

652
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: It was his flu game. It was his fuck game

653
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 3: foot game. The ESPN announced is also had a lot

654
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 3: of fun with this. You hear some of the commentary

655
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: they were saying during this.

656
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: No, I was kind of I kind of had it

657
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: on the background.

658
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were saying, like, there's no one as good

659
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: as Chestnut maybe maybe Michelson and Blackjack.

660
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. No, they were not.

661
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 3: They were like actually having a lot of fun with it.

662
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: Seemed like it was a point of them this year.

663
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 3: They knew they were gonna be a lot of eyes,

664
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: like they were gonna try and have some fun and

665
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: this is Joey chest n that's fifteen win of the

666
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: High Dog eating contest, fifteen out of sixteen, seven.

667
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: In a row.

668
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: The only one he lost was in twenty fifteen to

669
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 3: Matt Stoney, who actually like Maststoni's YouTube channel. He's a

670
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: YouTuber like me, so I gotta respect the game and

671
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 3: he's decent content. I love watching these people eat crazy stuff.

672
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 3: He he put down. He did like a Pop Rocks

673
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: one that was nuts. Yeah, the Coco Puffs one that

674
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: was crazy.

675
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: Well, like like oreos. I believe they're called like muck bangs.

676
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 2: I believe, yeah are big on the social media's, whether

677
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 2: it's TikTok or YouTube. And this guy will just like

678
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: pound like he's also been big recently. He'll pull up

679
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: like a restaurant, like a like a fast food place.

680
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: He'll order one of everything on the mets, That's what

681
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 2: I'm saying. He'll just pull up with everything from Popeyes.

682
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: And he didn't like ten minutes.

683
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 3: But that year twenty fifteen when Stony beat Chestnuts sixty

684
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: two to sixty, allegedly, the story goes that chestnuts fiance

685
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: broke it off with him not that long before the competition.

686
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: He was like a broken man. He lost the love

687
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: of his life. Listen, he's human and he's still almost

688
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: he still he only lost by two dogs. Imagine he

689
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: took it.

690
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: Am maculate performance from stony to win. That was that's

691
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: almost more impressive than all.

692
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: The just eating sixty hot dogs, like, that's like a

693
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: year's worth of hot dogs for me, and I eat

694
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 2: a lot of hot dogs. I pounded six at the

695
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: barbecue this on fourth of July three.

696
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 3: That's significantly more hot dogs than most people eating their

697
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 3: entire lives, almost in every probably that's more hot dogs

698
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: than every person not in this country eating their entire lives.

699
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope my mom's not listening to this one.

700
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: She'd be very disappointed to hear that I ate six

701
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 2: hot dogs on the fourth of July. She's very anti

702
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: hot dog From Mark Luino.

703
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: I want to run through some of other Joey Chestnut's

704
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: other eating records and triumphs over the years, because it's

705
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: kind of insane what this guy can do, and these

706
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 3: numbers are like staggering to the average person. His record

707
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 3: for hot dogs is seventy six and ten minutes, which

708
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: is just as shock as delusional. I'm gonna be also

709
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 3: gonna run through some of the crazy ones, because when you're

710
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: competitive there, you eat everything all through the year, like

711
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: weekend wise, you're going out, you're winning these tournaments. Joey

712
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: Chestnut has eaten twenty four pounds and eight ounces of

713
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 3: red beans and rice.

714
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: In eight minutes. That's a heavy meal. That's too much.

715
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: Twenty eight pounds of pootine in ten minutes, pootine thick fries,

716
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: gravy cheese, Eighteen pounds and nine ounces of shrimp cocktail

717
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: in eight minutes. Thirty year ten minutes, thirty pea zeke,

718
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. One hundred and sixty five parogis in eight minutes.

719
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: How the hell? How the hell?

720
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: And the last one is a crazy one. Actually, I

721
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: kind of like all three. It's gonna rip them off.

722
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 3: Twenty five cats, pastrami sandwiches, thirteen pounds of deep fried asparagus.

723
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: Too much, And this is the grossest one by far.

724
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: One hundred forty one hardboiled eggs and eight minutes. I

725
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 2: don't even one hundred forty one. It's almost twelve our dozens.

726
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 2: When I first heard it, I had a visceral reaction.

727
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: I gagged, I was I was twelve dozen hard boiled eggs.

728
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 2: That is a disgusting amount of hard boiled eggs to eat.

729
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 2: The dude is simply the goat of eating. He is

730
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: the most dominant eater that we have ever seen. And

731
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 2: this kind of is a nice little segue. Look at

732
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: that pro pro podcast here, a good segue into our

733
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: Big three of dominance. This just doesn't have to be

734
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: about sports brief the big three. Yeah, the big three.

735
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: So me, James and our producer John, we come up

736
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: with one big thing that we're gonna choose each under

737
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: a grand category. So the theme today is going to

738
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 2: be dominance.

739
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: Because of how dominant Joey Chessna is hot dog getting contest,

740
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: So eighteen out of sixteen.

741
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: Doesn't have to be an athlete doesn't have it. Also,

742
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: eighteen hot dog average winning margin for chestnut. There you

743
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: go drop another staff eighteen dogs. But yeah, it doesn't

744
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: have to be anything specific. It doesn't have to be

745
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: an athlete, doesn't have to be you know, whatever you

746
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: consider dominant is what we're going with here, and I'm

747
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: gonna get it started because for me, when I think

748
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: of dominance and I'm you know, you could say Michael

749
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: Jordan you could say some of the great athletes of

750
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 2: all time. But how about the Beatles. The Beatles are

751
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 2: the Kings of music, twenty number one hits all time,

752
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: which is the most ever. They're the best selling artists

753
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: of all time, not just in the United States but

754
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: in the entire world. Apparently over eight hundred million units

755
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: sold worldwide of their music, which is just a shocking amount,

756
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty three million in the United States,

757
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: which is thirty more than number two on that list,

758
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 2: which is Garth Brooks. That's about as many total units

759
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 2: as the Dave Matthews Band or Britney Spears Britney Spears

760
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: have sold in their career, which is like, that's the

761
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: difference between number one and two. They spent twelve one

762
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy eight weeks at the top of the charts,

763
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: which is eight eight hundred eight thousand, nine hundred and

764
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: forty six days, or roughly twenty four and a half years,

765
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: which makes sense. That's the numbers are crazy. They just

766
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: continue to go and that's just for like top of

767
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: the charts. Remember they could have a number two, number three,

768
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: a number four. They were unbelievable when they went on

769
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 2: The Ed Sullivan Show, which was like the hot talk

770
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: show of the time. In nineteen sixty four, seventy three

771
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: million people watched it, which is still to this day

772
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: one of the most viewed shows of all time in

773
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: television history. Rolling Stones declared them Rolling Stone, not Rolling Stones,

774
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: the band. The publication declared them the best artist of

775
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: all time. In twenty nineteen, they made sixty seven million

776
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: dollars on royalties, and just for some more crazy numbers,

777
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: Paul McCartney's worth one point two billion. John Lennon, Who's

778
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: Dead's worth eight hundred million, billionaire. Yeah, he's worth that much.

779
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: I don't think he's actually got that much. Ringo and

780
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: George are worth four hundred million dollars each. And I mean,

781
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: I feel like the best way to sum this up

782
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: is one of their most famous concerts was at Shay Stadium.

783
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: It was an absolute I wish I was there. I

784
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: think it was one of the first day in America.

785
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable and they literally have a part a

786
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: chunk of Central Park named after one of their songs,

787
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: Strawberry Fields. Really for guys who are from the United Kingdom, Yes,

788
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. Literally named after one of their songs. I

789
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: love the Beatles, one of my favorite music artists of

790
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: all time. My dad basically had me grow up with

791
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: them in the background. The Beatles for me are dominance.

792
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: The Beatles are the greatest of all time. When you

793
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: think of music, you think of the Beatles. So that

794
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: is my pick for the Big Three. James, What's yours?

795
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 2: My pick?

796
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: Very different direction. I'm going with Jeopardy Superstar James Hall's hour.

797
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: Similar same name, Yeah, yeah, No, James Big, James Day,

798
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: James mcambias, McCann, Yeah, Jimmy bick Kitts, Yeah, big Kid,

799
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: Jim big Hit, Jim Big Hit, Jim new nickname. But

800
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: James Holshauser revolutionized the game of Jeopardy in like basically

801
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: a one month span a few years ago. He completely

802
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: turned it upside down completely thirty two game win streak,

803
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: which is only the fourth longest win streak of all

804
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 2: time and doesn't even hold a stone to Ken jennings

805
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: seventy something game win streak. But Hols Howard made.

806
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 3: So much money on Jeopardy, he changed the way the

807
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: game was played afterwards. He holds the twelve highest earning

808
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: single games of Jeopardy ever, and sixteen out of the

809
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: top seventeen. His average winning game of Jeopardy was seventy

810
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: seven thousand dollars. There was only one other person whose

811
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 3: max win was better than that.

812
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: That's crazy, that's insane. That's insane.

813
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 3: That's his average. And holes Howard as his record put

814
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 3: down over one hundred and thirty grand.

815
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: In a single episode.

816
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yes, took home over three mili over

817
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: his stretch. There ninety seven percent correct question rate. I

818
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: think it was seventy one seventy five daily doubles hit

819
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: the guy and he would like max ass daily double

820
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: bets average bett in daily doubles nine grand. The guy

821
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: was a living legend. He took numbers and math into

822
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 3: Jeopardy somehow for the first time ever. It's crazy that

823
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 3: no one was like, I'm gonna push it all in

824
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: the middle and risk it all every single game and

825
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: just be right all the time.

826
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: Isn't holes Howard a big baseball guy too, freak baseball guy.

827
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: He said that was one of his first introductions like

828
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: data and stats. Like I think he's that he got

829
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 3: Excel when he was a kid and just filled it

830
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 3: with every baseball stat in the world. Yeah, but I

831
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: think he was a costed to like work. Now, I

832
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 3: think cost is the wrong word there. I think he

833
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: was reached out to to work for some front offices

834
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: after this incredible run. And the guy's like a freak

835
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: with data, smart guy, yeah, and I think he was

836
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: just he wanted too much freedom. He's also like a

837
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 3: professional gambler. Yeah, so I think he wanted to try

838
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: and maintain that. I don't think any professional baseball team

839
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 3: that allow that.

840
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

841
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: And crazily, Holsheuser said that he prepared for this run

842
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 3: of Jeopardy by going to may Rest in Peace, his

843
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: local Barnes and Noble and just reading every single book

844
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: in the children's section. Oh my god, getting a tiny

845
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: little bit of data on every single thing that ever existed.

846
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 3: So we had a little bit to go through for everything.

847
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: And just again, that's that twelve highest earning games ever

848
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: and his average winning game of seventy seven thousand dollars

849
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: per game, higher than every other single game ever besides

850
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: for one it was only eighty three grand.

851
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. James Holshauser's Holshauser. Holshauser. He's a beast dominant. He's

852
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: on a couple of different shows now with all the

853
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: other Jeopardy too, Yeah, where it's like the Beast or whatever.

854
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: You gotta be smart. These guys are smart. I used

855
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 2: to watch so much jeopard in high school. Like you said,

856
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: he literally broke the game, literally literally rested peace. Alextra.

857
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: Back to the legends, yep, the legend James Hols Hour

858
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: the Beatles, And that leads us to our third and

859
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: final piece of the Big Three. Producer, John, John, what

860
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: do you got for us?

861
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 5: I mean, after what I just heard from the two

862
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 5: of you, I'm almost embarrassed by what I have.

863
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: I was going with a much more simplistic answer to

864
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: the question.

865
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: I don't even know how it came up with this one,

866
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 5: but how many bobblehead doll giveaways did you guys attend

867
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 5: over the years at at Chase STADIUMS feel a lot

868
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 5: many many good bibbleheads given away over the years, And

869
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 5: I was thinking, and I don't know, I must have

870
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 5: at least twenty, and I swear they are all sponsored

871
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 5: by golds Horse Ratish. Nothing dominated babblehead day at Chase

872
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 5: Stadium the way that Gold's Horse Radish dominated babble a day.

873
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 5: And then I'll take it one step further, and I'm

874
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 5: not going by your fancy numbers.

875
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 4: You know, with all your data.

876
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 5: There's a lot of data here on the show, a

877
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 5: lot of data. But the way that the golds Horse

878
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 5: Radish dominates the sinuses, I mean, you just think all

879
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 5: you need is a drop, that's it. I've never experienced

880
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 5: domination like that, So that's my answer.

881
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 4: Haters can say what they want about it.

882
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 5: But I got gold Horse Radish number one most dominant

883
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 5: in its arena.

884
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: Okay, this would be a hilarious, like like weird funny

885
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: mind game if we just like put these three things

886
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: on the internet, Like, what do gold Horse Radish, to

887
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: Bevil and James Holsauser have in common?

888
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: I can't imagine. The vent diagram has a lot of overloading, No,

889
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: almost none, besides dominance right in the middle. Dominance is

890
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: right in the middle. And that's the Big Three. First

891
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: time we're doing it, the Big Three, parst official time,

892
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: first official time, first time that you guys that we

893
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: did the Big Three. We're now all on the same page,

894
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: you guys over on social media wherever you can get

895
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: in contact with us. Let us know who had the

896
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: most dominant of the big three, either me, James or

897
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: producer John. Let us know that's the big three. Let's

898
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: move on to game number two here to wrap up

899
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: this series, Game two stuck. Yeah. Game two wasn't a

900
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: poop fest. It was just simply a game that I

901
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: wish never happened, and I don't really want to think

902
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:14,479
Speaker 2: about much.

903
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 3: It was just we have to lead it by talking

904
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 3: about the fact that Max Scherzer did return after his

905
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 3: forty one game apps. Yeah, for sure, a gem, but

906
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: this was such a classic, quintessential Mets loss, like from

907
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: the good old days, Like this felt like one of

908
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: those terrible twenty ten, twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen to

909
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 3: Grom run like fell.

910
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: What that was Max Scherzer's initiation, It kind of was, yeah, basically,

911
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: now you're here, you're official, and this that that also

912
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: really had the emotional tide moving in a bad way

913
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: ahead of what ended up being an incredibly dramatic and

914
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 2: great win from Wednesday. But the way that this game

915
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 2: played out, with Max Scherzer's GEM and the Mets not

916
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: scoring a run and losing one nothing in the ninth inning,

917
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: it's just, oh my god, painful. But we gotta talk

918
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 2: about maxchers first before we talking about the pain, because

919
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: this ends up being a positive episode against all odds. Yes,

920
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about good things. I can talk about

921
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: bad things. We talked about this game.

922
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 3: Max Show started this game against Jonathan India, kat them

923
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 3: up off the bat, got through the next two bat

924
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 3: There's only a few pitches. Nine pitch first, ending with

925
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: a big strikeouts to lead off, and you were just like, he's.

926
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: Back, He's so back, Like watching him pitch was wonderful.

927
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 4: It was.

928
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: It was a pleasant thing to partake it. It's been

929
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: it's been so long. It was May when he went

930
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: down May eighteenth. We're past the fourth July. We missed

931
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: like a big part of the meat of the summer.

932
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: Max scherz are here missed like forty games and one

933
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 2: forty one, and it was great to have him back

934
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: right from the start. Like you said, he was just

935
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: cooking from the beginning.

936
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 3: Literally, only one red reached third base in this game,

937
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: and that was in the second inning where sure there

938
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: hit hit someone I think the lead off the inning, Yeah,

939
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 3: with one out something like that.

940
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: Dude, he had eleven k's and six innings. I don't

941
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: care about the hit by pitch and retired.

942
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that there was only one guy to

943
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 3: reach third base and it was on some bs. He

944
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: retired the last eight reds he faced before leaving the

945
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 3: game after six. Wound up with those six innings, eleven strikeouts,

946
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 3: no walks, no urn runs, just two hard hit balls

947
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: eighty pitches. I think it was actually seventy nine on

948
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 3: the dot, but just ridiculous. He had four strikeouts with

949
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: four seam fastball for with his slye, the two with

950
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: his color one with his change up. And also he

951
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 3: had ninety seven point one miles an hour. We're on

952
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 3: a fastball to get Matt Reynolds looking, and that was

953
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 3: tied for his fastest pitch of the season.

954
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: Love that. Love to see that firm guy coming back

955
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: from injury. Schurezer made sure that when he was coming back,

956
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 2: he'd be ready, as he said, I will not have

957
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: a setback. I will to have a setback, And it

958
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: really did look like Max Scherzer came back and was

959
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: fully healthy and ready to just pick up where he

960
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: left off. Absolutely. Now John's telling us he has a

961
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: Max Sharzer a trivia question for us. I'm very excited

962
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: to hear. Yeah, I'm excited. John John's got all the

963
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: stats in trivia for us, and he stumped us last time,

964
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: so I'm interested to see if we can do a

965
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: little bit better on this one.

966
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 5: All right, So Max Scherzer eleven strikeouts, no locks, does

967
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 5: so at the age of thirty seven years, three hundred

968
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 5: and forty three days old. Only ten different pitchers have

969
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 5: done so eleven strikeouts were more no walks in a

970
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 5: start at an older age than as thirty seven years,

971
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 5: three hundred and forty three days. I'm gonna give you

972
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 5: two of them because I'm just gonna say we're not

973
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 5: guessing that Dazzy vance probably advance, guys, and.

974
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm no I I I know, I knew, I

975
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 2: know Dazzy advance, but no way with a guest, no shot.

976
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 4: The other one is Harvey Haddocks.

977
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tough one too. Okay, I got literation.

978
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 4: I gott now eight more.

979
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 3: Okay, I got one, say Maddox, Greg Maddox, No wow, Nolan.

980
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 2: Ryan, Yes, let's go, Randy Johnson, yes, okay, Chilling no

981
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: smallt no wow. You guess another one? Pedro Martinez No, oh,

982
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: I thought Pedro would have been on there for sure. Oh,

983
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 2: Roger Clemens, Yes, okay, so that's three. That's three. There's

984
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: there's a few more sprinkled in there. We can't spend

985
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: too much time thinking micro Oh no, oh, the knuckleballs

986
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: a little tough. That's what probably gets you. I'm an

987
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,479
Speaker 2: old guy, man, an old good picture. I'm gonna throw

988
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: out one more Lander. Oh no, wow, Verlander was a

989
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: good guess, but he's not that old. I don't think

990
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 2: I guess not that old. My last guess is going

991
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: to be. I can't walk out of here with none. No,

992
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: you got you have to get one. Actually, think real quick.

993
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 2: I'm thinking you get one. I'll keep thinking. What about

994
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 2: Tom sever I'll give you guys.

995
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 4: I'll give you guys a clue. Two of them are

996
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 4: still going right now?

997
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 2: Is Tom sever one? No, it's not still going. Okay,

998
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: I know, I understand. He's not still pitch. It's the

999
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 2: statue in front of the ball aware. Okay, still going? Man,

1000
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: that's that involves a really old picture that they're still going.

1001
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: That means they did it. You said the age of

1002
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: thirty seven.

1003
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 5: Older than thirty seven years three days.

1004
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: Oh, that's crazy.

1005
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 4: Theest picture in the game right now.

1006
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: Is the oldest pitcher in the game right now for

1007
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: the Mets last year. Pitchure for the Mets last year

1008
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: at oh Rich Hill, good one, I still don't have one. No,

1009
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm gonna get one out.

1010
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 4: All right, I give you guys the other three al right.

1011
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 2: Cy Young Ah okay. Jamie Moyer, Oh, that was hanging

1012
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 2: frus like he's seventy one. Charlie Moore, Oh, that's such

1013
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: a lot, Charlie. That's a bad performance by May. That

1014
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: was terrible.

1015
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 4: Hopefully a little redemption next week.

1016
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, that was better than our first was that

1017
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 2: at least I was better. That was worse. I was worse.

1018
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: That was significantly worse. Rough when you were you know,

1019
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: you were very busy getting your stats from Max Suers

1020
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: or in Joey Chestnut and James Hol's house exactly. You

1021
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 2: couldn't be bothered with thirty seven year old pitchers and

1022
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: Mark and I going tomorrow eleven twenty. Yeah, you got

1023
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 2: a real job. But bake home. I mean, we're not

1024
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: talking about the rest of this game too. Game two

1025
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 2: is stunck. I just I was to say Dolo was good.

1026
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: He's a good pitcher.

1027
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 3: It wasn't like getting shut outs terrible, but he is good.

1028
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 3: He actually matched Max with fifteen whists, eight strikeouts at

1029
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 3: four and two thirds with only.

1030
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: One hard hit ball. It was a bad game. It

1031
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 2: was a bad game. We had chances. It wasn't good.

1032
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: Lugo was not going back to back days. Wasn't good.

1033
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: That's it. But won the series, won the series, so

1034
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: we don't care about Game two anymore.

1035
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 3: And some other crazy stat here because going game one,

1036
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 3: Game two, Game three, John got this one for us.

1037
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 3: If you guys been watching the Mets this year, you

1038
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 3: could probably tell that they.

1039
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 2: Have a bit of a pattern, just a little slight.

1040
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 3: It feels like you win game one, you lose Game two,

1041
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 3: you win game three. The Mets record in game ones

1042
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 3: of series this year is twenty and six, Game two

1043
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 3: ten and sixteen, and in game three seventeen and seven.

1044
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, if you had that suspicion, yeah, you would

1045
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: have hit the nail on the head. You would have

1046
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 3: been one hundred percent correct. I don't know why.

1047
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 2: I don't see a reasoning behind this, but the Mets

1048
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: play well at the start and the end of the series,

1049
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: and the middle is just kind of a coin flip

1050
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: almost basically, which is like kind of a really lazy

1051
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 2: way to think about it. But the Mets win series,

1052
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: and really, at the end of the day, like we

1053
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: said at the beginning of the year, if you win

1054
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: two of three every single time, you're going to be

1055
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: a very successful team.

1056
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 3: The Mets are testing that because they've WoT three sweeps. Yeah,

1057
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 3: and are you kidding me? They just were a little allergic.

1058
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: To sweeping right now. But hey, it's all right. The

1059
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 2: Mets are playing well. The Mets are still winning games,

1060
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 2: and I think that's a perfect way for us to

1061
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 2: kind of branch out now into our series preview, going

1062
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: up against the Miami Marlins for a four game series.

1063
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff going on in the ballpark this weekend,

1064
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: specifically Keith Hernandez's retirement, retiring jersey number seventeen in the rafters.

1065
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: Should be a fun day out at the ballpark on Saturday. Yeah,

1066
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: long overdue. We'll be there for sure. Hopefully you guys

1067
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: will be too. If you do, say what's up, we

1068
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 2: want to meet you guys. I think we'll be there

1069
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: Friday too, Yeah, John, we have a new segment. I

1070
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 2: believe that we wanted to try out as well. We

1071
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 2: got a lot of new segments this time. We're calling

1072
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 2: it Estimate. Me and James every single episode are going

1073
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: to take basically blind shots in the dark.

1074
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's some question that John's going to give us,

1075
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 3: and we're gonna tally these up at the end of

1076
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 3: the season, and one of us is gonna have to

1077
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 3: do something dumb.

1078
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 2: We haven't decided what it is yet. We'd love your

1079
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: guys input.

1080
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 3: It's either going to be Where's Where's suit or a

1081
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: tuxedo at a Mets game, or it's going to be

1082
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 3: put on the full kit cleat baseball, pants socks, tuck

1083
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 3: it in for a game, or some kind of eating contest.

1084
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 2: But Mark and I both have a lot of dietary restrictions,

1085
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 2: so we'll know if we're gonna do that.

1086
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: Or it could be like some kind of physical endurance competition.

1087
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 3: Run a mile in the ballpark, run the stairs one

1088
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: hundred times, something crazy like that, which would be easy

1089
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: for James, it would be relatively easier for me.

1090
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 2: For Mark, it would be good content if for the

1091
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: YouTuber w stays inside by choice might not be a

1092
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 2: quick mile. If I don't know the last time I've

1093
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: ran a mile. I don't know the last time you've

1094
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: ran in general, but that's the first base in softball. Yeah,

1095
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 2: that's probably the last time I ran in Joe. It

1096
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: was playing baseball, and that's not happening too often.

1097
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,120

1113
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: gotta win this. We're here to win, all right. Well,

1114
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: I'll make sure the next one that you pick first

1115
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 2: so that I can scum bag you back. It's just

1116
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 2: gonna become a back and forth. Then listen, we'll have

1117
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 2: a we'll have a tally, we'll have a leader board

1118
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 2: so that we know by the end of the year

1119
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 2: who is the winner and who who is the loser.

1120
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 3: And then we'll be doing We'll help, we'll work on

1121
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 3: the punishment with help from you guys too. And but

1122
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 3: if we go a few weeks here and ends up

1123
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 3: just being alternating because whoever just like schemes the other

1124
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 3: person better, we'll create some bylaws maybe about how the

1125
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 3: guests are gonna work.

1126
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see how fair play this game. But being played,

1127
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: everyone keep an eye on Keith Hernandez's speech, because now

1128
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 2: we basically just created over under. Basically, if it's under

1129
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: two minutes and thirty seconds, Mark wins, which that would be,

1130
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: that would be kind of shocking. If it's over two

1131
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 2: minutes and thirty seconds, I'm gonna win. Yeah, you really

1132
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 2: did get a huge advantage there by me get taken back. Yes, sorry,

Speaker 2: I won on I won on the Big Three today,

1134
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 2: so I don't have to worry about that. Now, let's

1135
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 2: go ahead and preview the series. Whatever our pitching matchups

1148
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 3: Last time we got them, it felt good, but they

1149
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,880

Speaker 2: And then Friday, Chris Bassett versus Pablo Lopez, who Pablo

1158
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: Lopez just for some reason can't pitch against the Mets,

1159
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 2: a pitchwall against everybody else. Hopefully we get that going again. Also,

1160
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 2: Chris bass return kind of a long layoff. We hope

1161

1162
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,640

1163
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 3: how well we got a hold of Braxon Garrett last time,

1164
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 3: even though it wasn't really as well as it could

1165
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 3: have been.

1166
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 2: You just see that there was a hit la ble ball. Yep,

1167
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 2: that's where I describe it. Cookie coming off with a

1168
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 2: decent start, so yep.

1169
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 3: And then Sunday, it's gonna be a fun one, guys.

1170
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 3: Taiwan Walker versus Sandy al Kantara.

1171
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 2: Taiwan got the better of him the first time that

1172
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 2: they matched up against each other.

1173
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 3: Second time, it's gonna be our third time facing Sandy

1174
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 3: this year, which is that's annoying.

1175
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: But was Taiwan for all three of those games. I

1176
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: think one of them. First one was basket, the second

1177
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: one was time. That's what That's why I said he

1178
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: got the better of him the first time. Hopefully he

1179
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 2: gets the better of him again in this game four,

1180
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 2: which will be Sunday. These four game series are so long,

1181
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: I know, especially Thursday is Sunday. I'm so tired of

1182
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: playing the Marlins. I said it when we played them

1183
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 2: the last time. They just like John Birdie, like we're

1184
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,479
Speaker 2: gonna see him be annoying again.

1185
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 3: We went from having not played the Marlins this year

1186
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 3: to now this is going to be twelve games in

1187
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 3: a month.

1188
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Third, just like we played the Phillies for like

1189
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: fifteen games in the first month, and we still haven't

1190
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 2: played the Braves. Yeah, so just no no Atlanta Braves games.

1191
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 2: And I know that's the team that everyone has circled

1192
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 2: because they are, you know, getting closer, but the Mets

1193
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: are still twenty games above five hundred. And you gotta

1194
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: be careful for the Trap series here because we got

1195
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta on Monday, and Max Schers

1196
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: will be pitching Monday. He got pushed back technically, Bassetts

1197
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 2: now in the rotation. There was a way where could

1198
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 2: have pitch Sunday against Sandy Alcantara. We could have had

1199
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 2: a real ace off.

1200
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'd still rather have the ace off on

1201
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 3: Monday of Max Scherzer versus Max Freed.

1202
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: Definitely definitely yeah, Oh Max Max off? Yeah, Max off.

1203
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. Okay, hopefully Surezer gets the win for

1204
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 2: us there.

1205
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 3: And also before we leave you guys, we need to

1206
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 3: briefly talk about Jacob de Gram because he made his

1207
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: first rehap start on Sunday, just after we record our

1208
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 3: last episode. Just through a bunch of pitches one hundred

1209
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 3: miles an hour, he struck out. I think five of

1210
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 3: the six battersy face.

1211
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 2: Five of the sixty face yeah, yeah, So there you go.

1212
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? Dominant And he was facing

1213
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen year old kids. Everyone just you know what. Everyone,

1214
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 2: Just stay calm, Everyone stay calm. He also will have

1215
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: another rehab assignment on Friday, So Stursday, a Friday, a Friday,

1216
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,359

Speaker 2: Social media rep absolutely just missed the Palm Beach Cardinals.

1222
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:49,960
