1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Mets just won a series against the Braves. Brett Baty

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: still looks so good. Brandon Neimo is Brandon Himoh, he's

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: completely back in the Mets. Pitching not too shabby, and

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: a prospect report as well. Let's go ahead and get

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: into this episode. What is up? Mets fans, Welcome to

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: a very special and international episode of the Mets Uff podcast.

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: And it is such an exciting one because the Mets,

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: I mean I almost want a tomahawk chop on them

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: right now. The Braves, the mighty Atlanta Braves, go down

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: in a three game series. Could have been four, but

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: we got three because of some rain. You know what,

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Fuck them, Fuck the Braves. We took two out of three.

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: The Mets haven't been playing particularly great baseball, but they

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: came into Atlanta and they won a bunch of games.

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Looked really good, had a great comeback victory in game one,

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Game two, fought back, Game three, beat the living shit

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: out of them. It was fantastic. James, you're in Morocco.

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: How you feeling out in the continent of Africa? This

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: is the first messed up episode done on African soil.

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: This is the first messed up episode in African soil.

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: I'm also the first member of the Chiano Klan to

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: ever make it to African soil. So very nice Morocco

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: has been. It's a crazy place. It's it's really just insane,

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: Like I think you would like it because the two

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: big things here are bothering and slow cooked meat, two

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: great things. It is also just it's very chaotic. It's

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: it's a lot to handle. You know, I can handle

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: a lot, but this is a lot. Likes too much

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: personal stuff. I don't want to hear about the more

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: personal stuff, some more personal stuff. It is funny though,

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: because like you guys talk some times about the personal stuff,

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: we do it like forty five secs beginning of your episode.

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: And also just like Mark and our friends, like we

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: haven't seen each other in like two weeks. Yeah, like

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: we got to talk a little bit. We're both on

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: the way. But were the ATVs today? I saw crazy waterfall.

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm seeing so many weird ass animals. Like it's been

38
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: a fun time. But all the while and these long

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: buster rides and taking these excursions, loading up some Mets games,

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: watching them all I had. It was such a fun

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: watch back of this series, like absolutely apopolizing on it.

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: Today being on a hot steaming bus watching the game

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: cast one nothing Mets, three nothing Mets, five nothing Mets,

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: and at the end of the sixteen four Mets, I'm like,

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: I can't believe this is happening. But we're now looking

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: at a week in a row where the Mets are

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: playing well and they've taken down two teams a lot

48
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: of people expected to possibly be playoff teams in the

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: National League, being a little generous the Cincinnati Reds, But

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: the the brains are the Braves. Braves are the class

51
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: of baseball. And I know it's April and a lot

52
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: of people are gonna make fun of the Mets for,

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 2: you know, celebrating another April World Series, But I don't

54
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: know the way this team felt a week of the

55
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: way we felt a week of the way you guys

56
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: probably felt a week ago. To go into Atlanta and

57
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 2: legitimately curb stomp the team that usually sometimes has curb

58
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: stomped us feels incredible.

59
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels good that we did not get the

60
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: living shit kicked out of us. I thought for sure

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: this was gonna be an ugly series, Like when I

62
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: saw Cole Salzer hit the mound in Game one, I

63
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: was like, what in the world is going on here? Like,

64
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: how are we gonna be able to win this game?

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: How are the Mets gonna keep this close? I was

66
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: like not necessarily happy with the decisions that Mendoz was making. Now.

67
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: I understand that Raley out of Vino d were not available.

68
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: They pitched three out of four days. That's fine, But

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: it was like, how so early on in the season

70
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: every year do the Mets seemingly have these bullpen issues

71
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: where there's not enough arms. But shout out to Reed Garrett,

72
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Shout out to Cole Salzer, Shout out to the bullpen

73
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: who really stepped up the series and did a great

74
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: job overall. Like Game I mean, Game one was such

75
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: a game that the Mets lose by a lot and

76
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: to come back and win that one in the fashion

77
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: that they did. I'm here in Florida with my dad

78
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: and my cousin Ted, and we were watching the game

79
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, man, like we were feeling down,

80
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: We're feeling bad. This is gonna go south and then

81
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: chipping away, chipping away, Brandon mo two home runs. DJ

82
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Stewart I was we were looking at the Mets lineup

83
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: that night, and I'm like, why in the world is

84
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: DJ Stewart hitting ahead of Jeff McNeil's like, I'd love

85
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: to have Jeff up here rather than DJ. Not that

86
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: Jeff's really hitting the ball particularly well, but just the

87
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: idea that I think DJ Stewart coming into the game

88
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: was zero for twelve at that point before he hit

89
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: that home run, so it just like things were clicking,

90
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: things were going well. And to beat the Braves at

91
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: home with that just such a good person. Or Solo

92
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Zuna thinking that he hit the walk off home run

93
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: the ninth inning, Oh, just just beautiful. You couldn't written

94
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: it any better.

95
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: Meek Phil had the tweet of the week because he

96
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: was like, Wow, it's such a it's such a crime,

97
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Like I think the ball was a strikes called against marcelo'

98
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: zoon and that he thought it was a ball, I'll

99
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: be like, oh my god, such a crime. This pitch

100
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: was called strike against Marcel's doo, and everyone google Marcelo

101
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: Zuna crimes.

102
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: One of the nice It was a it was a

103
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: bad call. It was a bad call, but you know

104
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: what couldn't happen to a worse person. Couldn't happen to

105
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: a worst person.

106
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: I also think a lot is being made of the

107
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: fact that the Mets are kind of playing catch up

108
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: with the bullpen every single day to start the year,

109
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: and a lot of it does feel strange. But I

110
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: think that some is being overblown by two things right now.

111
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: One is the fact that the Mets did lose Codasanga,

112
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: the only real, like unquestioned starter that they had going

113
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: into the season. I think a truck is driving past

114
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 2: me right now. I'm doing the Morocco podcast shot the Morocco.

115
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: And the other thing is that, like, while we're not

116
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: getting linked from the starters, it's uncommon that the Mets

117
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: just for these couple of weeks have fifteen games and

118
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: fourteen days. That's not normal. The season is not going

119
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: to be like that. We're going to have off dates.

120
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna have Mondays off, We're going to have Thursdays off.

121
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: We're gonna have starts once everyone gets ramped up. Where

122
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: Luisa Reno's giving seven innings, raight, Adrian hows is giving

123
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: seven innings, where Jose Katana is giving seven innings. I

124
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: know that kodesangle was moved now to the sixty dail

125
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: earlier this week, which again official states the Messed Up

126
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: podcast that's a non story because he was never coming

127
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: back in May anyway. So eventually he comes back and

128
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: he's giving you seven incs regularly. So it's a combination

129
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: of the fact that we literally have more than one

130
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: game on average per day for these two weeks that

131
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: we're inside of right now, and we just haven't really

132
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: we don't have a rotation as ready to give length

133
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: as of right now either, not one that I think

134
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: won't give it. Also not one that I think that's

135
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: going to be the strength that season goes on. But

136
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: I do think the fact that like these guys are

137
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: unavailable isn't isn't like jumping off bridge stuff like some

138
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: people are making that to be. I think it's just

139
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: a bad series of coincidence that's kind of happening and amazing, amazing,

140
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: amazing by Reed Garrett literally for twice in four days

141
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: put this team on his back and literally, weirdly, insanely

142
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: win the Mets two games.

143
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, I mean he kept it close in a

144
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: game that so easily could have gotten hand. Like I

145
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: don't think we can understate, man, can I can't should

146
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: I should I but how important Game one for the

147
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: Mets in Atlanta against the Braves to win that of

148
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: the season in April, to win it like that, But

149
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: it really did completely change my whole feel of, yeah,

150
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: of what this team is going to be moving forward. Now.

151
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this still calm the expectations. Even Keith,

152
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: I think thinks set in Game three is like Mets

153
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: fans don't take too much stock and taking four six

154
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: on the road in April, Like it's a long, long

155
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: season and I think we all need a little bit

156
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: of a heat check, and maybe the Royals are gonna

157
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: give us, give us that this weekend, but because they

158
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: are playing some really good baseball right now, My Royals.

159
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: But to have that win in the way that they did,

160
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: the comeback fashion, Nemo, just hitting the liv and piss

161
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: out the ball, DJ Stewart off the Schneide, Jeff and Neil,

162
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Brett Baty even getting some hits in these games on

163
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil's birthday, Little happy birthday, Jeff McNeil. You know,

164
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Mets Twitter's always got that is. It just felt like

165
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: a good team win and almost could be one that

166
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: you look back on, maybe this year, things go right,

167
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: We're like this was when the Mets kind of took

168
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: a break and like, oh we're a good team. We're

169
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: not as bad as we had been playing to start

170
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: the year, because it was a nightmare start to the season.

171
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and hand up by both of us for that.

172
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: We were pretty emotional the first few episodes of season.

173
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: Hand up by Mark and James.

174
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: It was sad.

175
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: We a little better, Yeah, a little bitter, little emotional.

176
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: It was weird being back in cityfield. Guys. You know,

177
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: it's hard, it's hard to describe for those feelings. Yeah,

178
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: we were spoiled and then we felt strange and uncomfortable.

179
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: But now we're back and feeling okay and again official

180
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 2: stance of the Mess Up Podcasts. This is a seventy

181
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: five to eighty five win baseball team and now after

182
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: the last full week of games, we've gone back to

183
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: what we expected. It was a weird, roundabout way to

184
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: get there. And that kind of might be a bit

185
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: of like, what's what's like a bed nicer word for

186
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: omen like librium?

187
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: That what's the.

188
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: Word like when you're starting to play Neither of us

189
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: our musical guys, but you know, when they have the

190
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: play and they do act.

191
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: No.

192
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: The thing before that, the overtures overture. It's like an

193
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: overture for the season where you saw some highs and

194
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: you saw some lows, messed up musicals, but like you

195
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: kind of saw a little taste of what the season

196
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: might be like, where it's give me some good moments,

197
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,559
Speaker 2: you give me some bad moments.

198
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: It's good.

199
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: It's like, it's kind of wrong on us because we

200
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: thought it would be like more of a hovering in

201
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: the middle. We might just have a team with major extremes.

202
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: And that's that's not that not fun. I mean, listen,

203
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: you got you gotta love baseball to watch this team.

204
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: That's where we were so one hundred percent right. It's like,

205
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: you gotta love baseball.

206
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna win close games, they're gonna lose close games,

207
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna get their shit kicked out of them. I honestly,

208
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: I'll say this didn't expect to beat the Brave sixteen

209
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: to four. That was not in the realm of possibilities

210
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: for this team this season. But like you said, maybe

211
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: that's why they're more of an extreme rather than the

212
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: in the middle. Eighty one wins, eighty one loss this

213
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: type team like it might it could be a nightmare season. Still,

214
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm not counting that out, but this at least gives

215
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: me hope now, way more hope than I had after

216
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: watching and to just get the fucking shit kicked out

217
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: of them by the Tigers and the Brewers.

218
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: I also think that game one of the series was

219
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: just like a fun baseball game, like baseball baseball to watch.

220
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Them, one of the games of the year probably, but

221
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: there was a lot of contact. There were balls in

222
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: the gap.

223
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: They were too like lightning quick plays at home play,

224
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: one with a coony and one repete Like I don't

225
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: remember watching a game in recent memory a Mets game

226
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: where within three innings of each other there were two

227
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 2: bang bang plays at home plate, like.

228
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: Back to back. It was amazing.

229
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: And then just I want to just now actually starts

230
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: like really tear through this stuff a little bit, and

231
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: like talk about read Garrett specifically when to tear through

232
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: the most from the Mets in this series, because like

233
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: he's he saved everything, like it's almost all. It was

234
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: kind of like this beautiful like baseball gods thing where

235
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: we realized the last episode the Mets could have sent

236
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: him down after the long outing against That was Tigers. Yeah,

237
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: that was Tigers.

238
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Feel I had. I got a message from someone on Twitter.

239
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: The reason read Garrett was not sent down was because

240
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: if they were to have optioned him, they would have

241
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: had to have take someone that was not on the

242
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: forty man because it was still that if you optioned

243
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: guys down, you ca of course. Okay, that's why Read

244
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: Garrett stayed on. So hey, hand up. We never should

245
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: have doubted David starts. We never should he checked.

246
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 2: He checked the President's Baseball Ops versus two Dumbest of

247
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: the Mexicans podcast. Guys, we'll give it to the We'll

248
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: give to the President Baseball Operations. But Julio te around

249
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: this game kind of with every Mets fan was expecting,

250
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: and now he's been defaid, which is weird.

251
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: But I also think like he.

252
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: Did look like he was really upset when he was

253
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: gett up those runs in that game.

254
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: It's a sad move though, too, because if a team

255
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: picks up his like his dfa like picks him off

256
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, they're paying the two point five million,

257
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: So there is no risk in the Mets putting him

258
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: defaying him in that sense.

259
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I saw from Tim Healy on Twitter,

260
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: and I think your boy John Becker as well. The

261
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: Mets only are paying him somewhere between like fifty four

262
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: and like seventy seven thousand dollars, which is amazing for

263
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: one week of work. But also it was crazy, but

264
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 2: there was some things happening there, like I remember the

265
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: first step out of the game kind of did set.

266
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: The toe by just going up and into.

267
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: The coolie early, yes, jamming him up, jamminghim up, being

268
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: on his hands, and then he had like a really

269
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: good like you don't usually see it from the start

270
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: in the first inning, you see with a guy that

271
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: coolio Tehran who's really wily but has no stuff, where

272
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: he just dropped a curve on metals and first pitch

273
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: together one on him and like that first time through

274
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: the oarth, he felt like good things were happening. But

275
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: then like second time around, the oiler like goes Dona

276
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 2: hit the moonshot Alby's hit the gapper on the pitch

277
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: that also was way off the plate because on Abou

278
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: Alb's your boy for having another just incorrect Quinn Shoery.

279
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: He's so good.

280
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: But then Rigaher comes in She's like two in the

281
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: thirds innings pitch, one hit, one walk, five strikeouts. He

282
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: had twelve whifts in this game. That was the most

283
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: in the whole game. Charlie Warren threw a hundred five

284
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: pitches ne a fewer wists than Regarrett. It's incredible. And

285
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 2: the crazy thing about riguaere is that he did something

286
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: that's like very new baseball in this game that like

287
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: I feel like, is kind of just becoming the modern

288
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: baseball now, where he just refused to throw any fastballs.

289
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: He threw thirty four pitches in this game. Twenty eight

290
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: of those were his sweeper, his splither, or his slitherer,

291
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: and only six of those were his fastball or his sinker.

292
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: And that's how he was effective. He was throwing crazy

293
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: movement stuff. The splither was getting the lefties, the sweeper

294
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: was getting the risies, the slider was mixing the ball

295
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: and the fastballs, and the sinkers were kind of being

296
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: used when they had to be used. And it was

297
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: perfect and it bridged the Mets to getting to again

298
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: like Corl Sultzer, Jake Decman shotout Drew Smith still has

299
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: given up a run this year, but got him to

300
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 2: a point in the game where the bats came alive.

301
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: They wound up taking the lead, and it was it

302
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: was good enough to win. And it's just hats off

303
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: to re Garrett.

304
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out to Brandon im two. Really put the

305
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: team on his back in this game. Just a blistering

306
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: the ball all over the field. Brett Batty some more hits, Like, guys,

307
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: a ball Baty's a little bit of a ball player here,

308
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: felps being We're we're talking about someone now who at

309
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: third base. He's he's better than Alec Bowm. We're getting there.

310
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: We asked for Alec Baum. He's better. He's a way

311
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: better fielder. That's where it really is. The difference offensively interesting,

312
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: but yeah, defensively, Brett Batty is just looking phenomenally. Even

313
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: made a play where again knocked it down, made a

314
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: strong throw throughout. I think it was maybe a Kuni

315
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: or all bees like, no, no, no worry, no stress.

316
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: He looks so comfortable this year, which is great. And hey,

317
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: maybe that's the Mendoz effect. Maybe that he gave him

318
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: the confidence put it put him in there. It's like

319
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna be our guy. You're playing third base. It

320
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: totally looks like Brett Batty knows he belongs there now.

321
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: It's also a thought where we've heard so much about

322
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: how he worked with Francisco Indoor. Baby worked with Francisco

323
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: Indoor through the off season the spring training especially, get

324
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: better at defense, positioning, being ready more so, which is funny,

325
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: but it is. And I also think that, like maybe

326
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: just like spending so much time Lindor. I know, like

327
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 2: Lindor is a divisive topic and mets world out as

328
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: bad as he possibly can right now, has basically ever

329
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: has everyone got a hit no on Thursday, including Lindor.

330
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: But you think that maybe Baby spending the time with

331
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: Lindor and like learning from Lindor. Like, the one thing

332
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: about Lindor is very infectious is the energy he plays with.

333
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: And we're seeing Brett Bay play with so much more emotions,

334
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: so much more energy, and it's not like out of

335
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: check emotion.

336
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: It's not out of check energy.

337
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: It's just like looking like he's really long loves playing

338
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: baseball again, like you I just tweeted out right before

339
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: the podcast started where they did the infield huddle at

340
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: the end of the Thursday game and he humped everybody

341
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 2: and like he's screaming when he jumped up and called

342
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: the ball Thursday afternoon too, where's just like nice and

343
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: like there was a play on this DJ Stewart home

344
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: run where he's he's going crazy out third base, like

345
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: hyping up the doug owns like this is we talked

346
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: about this months ago where I don't remember who we're

347
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 2: talking to. You might have been with Tim Healey, it

348
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 2: might have been even before. It might still been in

349
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: the bad time for the podcast. But just the fact

350
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: that when you have a team that you hope to

351
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: exceed expectations, you want to mix veterans and youth because

352
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: you want the youth to inject energy. And we've seen

353
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: this with Francisco Alvarez and now we're seeing Wherett Bay.

354
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: These two guys are just young, dumb and full of

355
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: you know what, and they're just having a really good

356
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: time playing baseball, and like it seems like everyone's kind

357
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: of feeding off of which is beautiful.

358
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean it's really good. And the fact

359
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: that Rondakuna still has I believe no barrels on the season,

360
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: zero barrels. Mets didn't give up one. He did pretty

361
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: much nothing this series in Game two. But that like,

362
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: that's fine. Whatever he's gonna steal basis cool. You know what,

363
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: one win from the Braves, one win out of three

364
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: games against the Mets, the lowly New York Mets, the

365
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: LOL Mets. So everyone was talking trash about maybe ourselves included,

366
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: maybe we were a little bit down on them as well.

367
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: But hey, you know what, glad to be wrong, Glad

368
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: to be on the wrong side of history here, and

369
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: the Mets take two of three. Game two, of course,

370
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: was gonna be the quick one. I think we talked

371
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: about Adrian Hauser just just got hit by the Braves.

372
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: When he's not able to pick off corners and have

373
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: the command that he needs, this is what's gonna happen.

374
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: It's also the Braves lineup is disgusting, Like at the

375
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're having fun making fun of

376
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: the Braves, but we know that this is the best

377
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: lineup in baseball, right top to bottom.

378
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: And the Rangers give a run for their money. But

379
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: I still probably would take the Braves. You weren't wrong

380
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: about that. But it's just like it never ends. Like

381
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: even Michael Harris hit seventh, Like why is Michael Harris

382
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: still hitting seven.

383
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Michael Harris is so good.

384
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: He's incredible, so good, like he even even the game

385
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: where the Braves got manhandled on Thursday, everybody in the

386
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: lineup had a hit except for around Dacunya and Orlando Garcia, which.

387
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: Is crazy to think about.

388
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: But like again, even the game sixteen four they get

389
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: man handled on Thursday, I see obvious is three hearted balls.

390
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: Also rallies three herded balls. Every single person in the lineup,

391
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: including Forrest Wall who got one at bat because the

392
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: Braves are getting pistol wips so badly, pitch up around

393
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: the Counya even hit the ball hard like it's just

394
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: like they just don't stop. But but how's in that

395
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: game like we did.

396
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: More Mets fans.

397
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: I think it's just when you watch him, you can

398
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: feel it play because you a bad team.

399
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: He's fun to watch. He's working corners, he's manipulating the zone,

400
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: little color, little sinker, and little rock this year at home,

401
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: at home, at home, yes, at home.

402
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: Not there, not there, but like Acunia got that stolen

403
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: base off off and right at the beginning of the game,

404
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: and it's just you can feel like everybody was like

405
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: this game is gonna go that well, and they just

406
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: this was the game of the Braves, so like they

407
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: got pissed off.

408
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: They lost that game barely on Monday, We're like, we're

409
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna do something to you.

410
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: But again, nice to see the Mets fight all the

411
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: way back in this game, really get to the last

412
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: that bad of the game, getting around the lineup, Pete

413
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: hitting the home run, Frances Blundor getting on base, he

414
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: give Pete one more chance to win it. Like there

415
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: was there was more energy at the end of this

416
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: game than there had been. I feel like in the

417
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: previous games this season. It felt like something good.

418
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: But something we want to talk about is the Starling

419
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: Marte hitting second experiment. Hopefully it's an experiment. Hopefully it's over.

420
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: I know they just scored sixteen runs, but that's not

421
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: because Starling mart is hitting second. The Starling Marte hitting

422
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: second experiment almost was detrimental on uh in Game two

423
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: on Wednesday because Tuesday, yeah, Tuesdays, Oh yeah, Tuesday, because

424
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: he came up in the ninth inning with one out,

425
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: Harrison Bader was on third. He ended up driving in

426
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: the run on a ground out to second base, which

427
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: is fine, whatever, you know, keep going. It's okay, but

428
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: the idea is that that should be Lindor and then

429
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: the next batter should be Alonzo, and you could almost

430
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: see in the world where it goes the wrong way.

431
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso never even gets to the plate in that

432
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: and you would be like, oh, so this is why

433
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: hitting Starling Marte second is stupid, because in this exact moment,

434
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: this is exact exactly why we talk about why we

435
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: want the top the best three hitters hitting one, two,

436
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: three in this lineup because you get the most at bats.

437
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: And there was almost a world where Starling Marte got

438
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: in that bat and Pete Alonzo didn't, and that could

439
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: have been the difference between winning and loss. Great do

440
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: we still lost the game, But it's just again the

441
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: process of understanding the lineup construction. And I'm wondering if

442
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: Mendoza makes the lineup, if if Stearns is involved in

443
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: the lineup. I don't we kind of know last year

444
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: it's a little more on the manager than you most

445
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: people think. Yeah, I think also just the way the

446
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: lineup has been changing so much and shifting that seems

447
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: to me obviously it's like a first time manager who's

448
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: kind of manipulating things kind of like maybe squeezing, squeezing

449
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: a little too tight right now, being a little bit

450
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: lendy with the rabbits because it's just like every day

451
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: there's different guys in different spots, like now Bayeshad Alvarez.

452
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: Before Alva's ahead of baby. Now Marte was six, Now

453
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: Marte is two, and I Pete was three, now PA's four.

454
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: It's like every single day, these these little tiny tweaks

455
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: I feel like you're doing when you're trying to do

456
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: too much. Before before we close the book a game two,

457
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: just shout out Harrison Beata for trying to stretch that

458
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: single into a double.

459
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: That was That was unbelievable. That was he was.

460
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: It was right in front of him. I can't believe

461
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: he did that. I was shocked the whole way, and

462
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: then I was shocked at how he was that he

463
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 2: somehow didn't make it second base safely. Just shout out you,

464
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: Harrison Bay that you are You're one of the kinds.

465
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: But it's been for fun. Get it's been fun. Get

466
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: to know these last few weeks. Yeah, that's how I

467
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: would describe Harrison Bader. He is one of He's a

468
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: one of a kind. Baseball player that I haven't seen

469
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: too often at the major league level. Yeah, definitely not.

470
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: But I mean, hey, like that was the game where

471
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: the Mets lost, but you also didn't feel that bad

472
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: about losing it. And then we move on to pass

473
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: the ray. Now to Thursday. I love that they made

474
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: this a three game series to have a four game series.

475
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: Loved it because now we had a chance to win

476
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 2: the series, and we fucking won the series. The Mets

477
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: one is series and it's funny, like all this ship

478
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: all the way back around twenty twenty two. We went

479
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: back to the old recipe of successful you win game.

480
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: When you lose game two, you wing game three.

481
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: Yes, we're back in the rhythm. We're back.

482
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 2: We're doing a little dance again, and it'll all started

483
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: in this game again again.

484
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: We keep saying it.

485
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: You start to Brett Baby because the Mets are challenging

486
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: in the first inning and there's two outs, man scoring position.

487
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: Bret Baby the plate and he gets down to a

488
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: quick O two on Allen Winnings.

489
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: Who I mean, Alan Winns.

490
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be to pretend that you guys are

491
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: very impressed with Allen Winnings, but sucks. Yeah, I don't

492
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: think he's very good. But you're down to too quickly.

493
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: And there were so many times, I feel like last season,

494
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 2: where Bret Bay would quickly go down oh two, and

495
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: then the bat would feel totally over. He would make

496
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: a bad decision and it would be shot. But in

497
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: this that bat, Brett Bay takes an outside pitch, drives

498
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: it the other way, lays it out there, gets the

499
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: RBS single and now you're like, oh nice, And it

500
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: was a bad mostly because it was a bad pitch

501
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: by Winnings. I think he was trying to go super

502
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: upstairs with the fastball. He just threw one middle high,

503
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: slightly high and outside. Was Brett Bay not trying to

504
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: do too much, not being upsetsed with pulling the ball

505
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: like he's pulling the ball this year and he's lifting

506
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: the ball. There's some probably some regression coming for Brett Bay.

507
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna end the season with four

508
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: to fifty babb and keep it. But I also don't

509
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: think he's gonna keep his.

510
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: Hard hit break down like twenty percent out of the league.

511
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: Like I think there's gonna be like an evening out

512
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 2: of He's gonna make better contact, but then probably start

513
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: like not getting as many seeing as singles.

514
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: But this one's just he took a fastball. Did we

515
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: had to do with it?

516
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: And that game being one nothing I feel like, kind

517
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: of was like the shot of confidence the Mets needed

518
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: and then from there the flood gates open and we

519
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: just fucking rolled.

520
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I was. I was on the golf course

521
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: shot in eighty nine today, Great round, Jesus, great, great

522
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: round eighty nine. I almost I almost shot under forty

523
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: on the front nine. I was five over. We're crazy,

524
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, great great round of golf, watching like

525
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: getting getting the highlights, getting the clips, getting like the

526
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: little the check ins here and there. The Mets just

527
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: felt very in control, which is something that we don't

528
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: get a lot for Mets teams in general, but especially

529
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: this Mets team, Like just early from the jump, like

530
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: you said, that one nothing with Baty really did set

531
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: the tone for this entire game. It made Alan Winnin's

532
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: uncomfortable uncomfortable from the start, and the Mets jumped all

533
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: over him, which I love to see. I love when

534
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: this team gets aggressive because there are good hitters. These

535
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: guys are good players. We've told you this all year.

536
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: We're not just like again screaming into the void because

537
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: we have a podcast. Oh we want you guys to

538
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: listen and think we're always one hundred percent right, Like

539
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: there there is proof, and there is numbers, and there

540
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: are statistics behind this team being able to be a

541
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: successful offensive line, and it's just never stopped.

542
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: Like the top of the third ending of this game

543
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: of seven nothing mets like you high Bert Bay driving

544
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: that one run the first inning, and then the second

545
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: inning Jeff McNeil walk his start. This was the first

546
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: game where it really felt like Jeff McNeil was actually

547
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 2: back in control of the strike downe a guy. They

548
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: help our boy Jordan see what bad Jeff was using.

549
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: We're for Jeff McNeil, but he walks, and then j

550
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: J Stuwer and Harrison Baber makeout because eight nine hits,

551
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. Then just top of the other Brandon

552
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: which just lace his double and you're like, Okay, I

553
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: can now see what we were thinking about earlier the offseason,

554
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: where it's like, I Jeff Knill's hitting low, the line

555
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: can flip over and the top of the line guys

556
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: can drive him in and it's just like, Okay, two nothing,

557
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: a Win's wild pitch, three nothing, and then you get

558
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: to the third inning, Alvas double, McNeil another double after

559
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: Alonzo singles lead off the inning and the DJ's tour

560
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: drops the hammer again and we're like, let's be the Braves.

561
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: Seven nothing, and it's like it again, you felt in

562
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 2: control this Allen wins is probably one of the worst

563
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: pitchers the Braves have, but also this new iteration of

564
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: the Braves not the most pitching anymore. Like I don't know,

565
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: like losing spechers Strider for the year again sucks for baseball,

566
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: sucks worse for the Braves. Now, it's like you can

567
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: kind of see a pass to beating this team day

568
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: in and day out. Wire Charlie Moore is not the

569
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: same guy. Max Fied does not look like the same guy.

570
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: Who I mean, raynald Do Lopez, the guy who kind

571
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: of shut the mess down this series. So my bad

572
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: hand up on missing that reverse chinks. But it's just

573
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: we kind of have the most pitchers in this brain

574
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 2: team are not really instilling fear anymore.

575
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, how did how does Sale look this year? I

576
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: really haven't watched any of his appearances yet, how's he been?

577
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: He's been okay, I think he looks good.

578
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 2: I have him on a face team. I haven't been

579
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: keeping that closer tabs, so I'm gonna I'm gonna find

580
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: his R Guess is the rcause?

581
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I literally have no idea. Chris Sale, I don't know.

582
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: Three to five, that's a pretty safe guest. Loser, Chris

583
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: Sales evra is three three eight nice? Not nice. That's

584
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: it's not a safe guest. That's a good guess. That's

585
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: a great guess.

586
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he also looks he looks tremendous. He' striking guys eyes,

587
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: not walking guys anymore. The fastball's loss these average over

588
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 2: ninety five, which is crazy, Like he'll he'll wind up

589
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: being the guy saves his team, which is pretty hilarious.

590
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 2: But is a game where then, like you now can

591
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 2: relax when you've posed a Gatana facing his Braves team,

592
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, like nice, like let's just get through

593
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: this because we have another game tomorrow and let's save

594
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: the bullpen a little bit. And Katana still couldn't get

595
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 2: through the sixth inning, which is really frustrating given where

596
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: this game was, and like guys like Chadwick Trump are

597
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: like driving him in. We mentioned before everybody was hitting

598
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 2: the ball hard, but it's just Trump twenty twenty four

599
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 2: Trump Trump right there. You gotta say the Trump Trump.

600
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: But I'm hey, Like Andrew Smith comes in, mops it

601
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: up again, but he's still zero e R right for

602
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: the season.

603
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: It's just it was just fun to beat the Braves.

604
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: This series felt really good, felt really good. I mean

605
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we maybe you got to be international games,

606
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: maybe you need to be in a different continent and

607
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: I need to be in Florida, Florida, Mark. Maybe that's

608
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: what the vibes are if we're too close to city

609
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: field right before. Now that we're in different different areas.

610
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: Although I was still technically close to the Mets a

611
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: little bit here, I wasn't too far away. Actually it

612
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: was like seven hours no and.

613
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: Again, like just talking about the lineup, everybody had a

614
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: base hit at least everybody had a hard hit ball

615
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: except for Jeff McNeil, who Coinctantley had two hits, three

616
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: RBIs and two walks on base four times, which is

617
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 2: that's why I want baseball random over the second time

618
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: this series had three hard hit balls Starling Marte two hitter,

619
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: had three hard hit balls. But also people say, we're

620
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: talking about how good Staring Marte is playing right now,

621
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: We'll do another guess.

622
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: Guess is ops, uh, five eighty four he.

623
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: Got up to six ninety four or two hits to

624
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 2: day in a walk, but you're probably pretty close before

625
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: the game. But again, Lindor got a hit, which we

626
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: almost got that bating average one hundred where around the

627
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: around the We're coming up there. But I don't know,

628
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: it felt it felt a lot better now today, like

629
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 2: the fact that McNeil had had his big game. I know,

630
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: Lindor has a big game the other day and kind

631
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: of basically won of the Mets game that's had it

632
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: Sunday right handle swinging, And that's why, Yeah, I know

633
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: I need I need one like really good lefty Lindor

634
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: game to then be like his team is finally where

635
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: I thought they would make.

636
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: That in uh maybe you know Luis ky Ormey just

637
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: serving up a grand slam as well, that that made

638
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: the game look a little bit different too. But you

639
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: know what, fucking finally, how many times have the Mets

640
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: had pitchers position players come in against them and they

641
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: don't do anything. They just do nothing. Tyrone Taylor, what

642
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: does he love hitting position players? Luis g Urmy grand

643
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: Slam to Tyrone Taylor, absolutely love to see it. And

644
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: you know what, as a Tyrone Taylor podcast, were pro

645
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: Tyrone Taylor here, good ballplayer, baseball guy. Glad to see

646
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: that he's pad in the stats early on the season

647
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: because take a look maybe in September October You're like, oh,

648
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: Tyrone Taylor had a great little year and that Luis

649
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: you or make Grand Slam could be the difference maker.

650
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: It's also just I.

651
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 2: Parentally really did feel bad for Louis k Orme in

652
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: that moment because he you know, no, no, he got

653
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: guy needed the job.

654
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: We released him. He had to get a job. He didn't.

655
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: He didn't leave the Mets willy nilly, He didn't sign

656
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: a big contract with Delanta Braids. He could have played

657
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 2: for the Chicago White Sox, he could have made the Rockies.

658
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

659
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: I just had to be like so dystoping for Luisky

660
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: or made that moment to be like, I've been on

661
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 2: the other side of this so many times. How am

662
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: I giving up Grand Slams and now we're losing. Am

663
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: I the problem, like, oh my god, but it's just

664
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: weird for the whole situation of Flip.

665
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: And then by the end of this we just yeah,

666
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: we beat the brain.

667
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: I hate like, I hate like really celebrating a lot

668
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 2: in April, but like the way celebrations, the way we

669
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: felt ten days ago, this feels a lot different and

670
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 2: I'm really really really happy about it.

671
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: Happy happy feeling. We're not happy a week ago, not

672
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: happy five days ago, whatever it is. It's just nice

673
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: to see that the Mets are capable of playing the

674
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: baseball that me and you both thought they were able

675
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: to before the season started, Because for about a week

676
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: I was like, oh boy, were we wrong? Were we

677
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: were we Mets biased? Do we do we miss this?

678
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: But I think they're going to be exactly what we thought,

679
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: which is going to be stressful games. These games are

680
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: going to be close, These games are going to be tight.

681
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: But they have the two beat good teams like they

682
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: did with the Atlanta Braves, and this is I think

683
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: a huge series for the guys on the field too,

684
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: to be like, Wow, we went into Atlanta without our

685
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: best pitcher, without this, without that, and we were still

686
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: able to beat them. That's huge. I think that's huge

687
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: for the morale for a team that we know rides

688
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: the highs and lows pretty tough, whatever it is. When

689
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: they're high, they're high. When they're low, they're pretty damn low.

690
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: So and it's also does a mentality from just in

691
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: baseball just getting near five hundred again, and when you

692
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: start the season zhe and five you kind of run

693
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: the risk of spinning out inspiral like the Marlins. Yeah,

694
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: we're seeing that the Mordins are now Marlins look like

695
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: they're going to have an all time bad season. There

696
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: was an amazing clip that went around Toweather the other

697
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: day with Yeah good called by you. Jazz Chisholm and

698
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: vv del Bruhan were doing just a crazy dance in

699
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 2: the dugout before a game at Yankee Stadium, and Josh

700
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: Bell is standing there in shot just looking like, what

701
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: the hell is going on right now? Do you guys

702
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: know how bad we are? Why are you dancing like this?

703
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: Like he had such an expressionalist look on his face,

704
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: such disdain. Is just feel bad for a team like that.

705
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: But again again I.

706
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 2: Think if I feel so bad, guy, they give a

707
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 2: little bit of credit. I think right now to Carlos Mendoz,

708
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 2: a guy some people wanted, wanted absolutely thrown off the

709
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: thrown overboard the weeku aldgo. Definitely, no one on this

710
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: podcast was saying that ever, But I think we, I

711
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: think fairly criticize a couple of decisions that he made,

712
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 2: late game decisions, line up decisions, bullpen decisions. I think

713
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 2: this Marte too hole thing is also still a very

714
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: weird situation, even though the message course sixteen runs with

715
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: him the two hole. So it's gonna be hard for you.

716
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: People are going to really gonn tellus ready after this one.

717
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: But it's just to be a first time manager go

718
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: zero to five after blowing two horrible extra inding games

719
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: back to back, and then win a really tight one,

720
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: and now string a couple of these together, and then

721
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: finally blow the doors off and win against your biggest rival,

722
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: presumably one of the best teams in baseball. Like that

723
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 2: has to feel so good. And now you have a chance.

724
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: I know, the world's team playing is playing good baseball,

725
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: and the Pirates team is playing good baseball, but you

726
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: have a six game homestand right now where you have

727
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: only won one game this year, but the last one

728
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: was won, where you could get yourself over five hundred

729
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: and then get ready for a West Coast trip that

730
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: hopefully doesn't just kill you going to Los Angeles and

731
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: San Francisco.

732
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: Is there more pressure knowing that that West Coast trip

733
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: is coming, that it could be it could be dire,

734
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: dire days for the Mets in the West Coast. If

735
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: like you got you gotta kind of win some games

736
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: here against the Royals and the Pirates, I.

737
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 2: Think you probably have to know that in the back

738
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: of your head. And again, but this is the bounce

739
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: back that we need. This from this road trip of

740
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: being zero to five and being like, because we said

741
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 2: a couple episodes ago, like imagine if the Mets are

742
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: all nine heading to Atlanta, because because it felt like

743
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 2: that for half a second after the second Tigers game,

744
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: which again that was us jumping the gun. That was

745
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: us being reactionary and being just way too negative about

746
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: this team. But it's not working for the team anymore.

747
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: We could We're just we're just like we have to

748
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: say things. Yeah, I'm gonna curse him, scream, But it's

749
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 2: such a better feeling right now, like you can actually breathe,

750
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 2: like being five and seven. It's like nothing has happened,

751
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's like season, It's like

752
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: April's baseball doesn't matter.

753
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: Now.

754
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: Feels like you get out of April and you're fifteen

755
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: and fifteen, you tip your cap, you salute, and you

756
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: go on to May. Like that's where we have to

757
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: be right now. I think that's the team can get to.

758
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: Maybe we're just a year late with our take. Like

759
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: last year we were like, God, we want this team

760
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: to like be like two games under five hundred after April.

761
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: We're like, that would be great because they're too good

762
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: in April all the time. We need to care less

763
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: about April. Just play good enough baseball. And maybe this

764
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: team just plays good enough baseball in April. Maybe that's

765
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: not the worst thing. I was.

766
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: I was looking back at some of our tiktoks and

767
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: reels the other day because again, I've been on some

768
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: long ass bus rides. I've just been like boardscrolling some stuff.

769
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: So I was looking back to that really did with

770
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: Tim Healy where it was like, Wow, the mess vibes

771
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: are so loose this spring, and I was like, damn,

772
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: if this team wins sixty games, like maybe they were, no,

773
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: vibes are a little too loose, Like I don't maybe

774
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: vibe should never be that loose again.

775
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: It was like, it's gonna sound stupid as fuck. This

776
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: seems fifteen games under five hundred June. But now you

777
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: can kind of feel the looseless and the looseness and

778
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: the fact that it's working and this team feels like

779
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: they're having fun. Like DJ Stewart like was what like

780
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,479
Speaker 1: over seventy over seventy five when he hit that home run?

781
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: No one cares? Just run again, yeah again.

782
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: Jady Martinez might never play? Who gres whatever, Let's just

783
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: play baseball.

784
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: All right, Let's let's talk about jad Martinez real quick.

785
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: Because we've been high, we've been high, We've feel good.

786
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: Jade Martinez is seemingly not gonna play in the month

787
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: of April. It seems like no.

788
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: I have really bad vibes from this again, one terrible vibes,

789
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: one litly different from Jed Lauder. I sent Mark a

790
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 2: cursed image the other day that because I'm not going

791
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: to be that much on social media's next few days,

792
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to the Sahara Desert and camp a little bit.

793
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: So if you find the moment for another update. I

794
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: want you to throw that image out there because it's insane.

795
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: I also pre made the meme for this series. I've

796
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: never had to get used because it was a negative

797
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: Mets meme, so I was really happy about that. I

798
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: love doing work that never happens. But I just the

799
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: vibes around Jady Martinez are bad right now. The fact

800
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: that he wasn't signed a week before the major league

801
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: season and now he has body soreness and a back issue.

802
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: For guy in his study, he's got a cortizone shot.

803
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: What has he been doing? What does this guy up to?

804
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: Why was he taking the abats if he was in

805
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: this much pain? And I don't know, it's a weird situation.

806
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: I'm not that thrilled abat it at all, but I'm

807
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: not going to overreact because I don't want to yet

808
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: and the vibes are too good with this team. But

809
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: it'd be really nice to have Jad Martinez playing baseball.

810
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: Let's let's give it.

811
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: Seems like this might just be old man just being

812
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: like I don't want to fly to the West coast.

813
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: Maybe he said Saturday, Friday, April twenty seventh, Saint Louis

814
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: Cardinals my first game back in New York.

815
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you just waiting for you to get back, that's

816
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: what Maybe he is waiting for me to get back.

817
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: Also Apple TV game, he wants a national game, two

818
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: national games that series when I get back, which is

819
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: insane Friday night and then Saturday against the Cardinals, Apple.

820
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: And five prediculous strong third place teams. Let me tell you,

821
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch those on National TV.

822
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 2: But bad vibes and other stuff Mets World that we've missed.

823
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: I think it was just CODI was there anything else

824
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: that happened that we could be missing. I don't know,

825
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: we've both been less.

826
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: Ooh or I got one uh City Connectors who revealed

827
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: next Friday, and it looks like they're gonna be purple

828
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: jerseys based on all the promo hype videos they tweet out,

829
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: like if you know, you know, it's the Mets logo

830
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: and purple. And someone was telling me that the Giants

831
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: originally had purple in their jerseys back in the day,

832
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: so it might be a little bit of homage to that,

833
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: along with the fact that the seven line being the

834
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: main train, it's a yes, it's a purple seven. What

835
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: do you think. Do you think we're gonna get full

836
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: purple jerseys? You think we're gonna get Mets ish looking

837
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: jerseys with purple instead of like blue. I actually really

838
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: don't know what to expect. Shockingly, haven't been any leak yet.

839
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: Every other City Connect gets leaked. The Phillies awful one

840
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: got leaked. I'm interested to see what the Mets one

841
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: looks at. I'll tell you this excited. Though purple is

842
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: a different color we don't see too often in baseball.

843
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: These could be killer. These also could be we're looking

844
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: like Grimace out there on the field. No, I mean

845
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the main color. I think I'm scared

846
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: of the main color is going to be purple. And

847
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: you know my feelings on these City Connects. The too

848
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: strong of a main color. I hate.

849
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: It's like, if we do purple jerseys, purple pants, this

850
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: is gonna be purple pants is bad?

851
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Barney, like the.

852
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: Rockies Jersey amazing green, like green green Jersey white out

853
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: One's green pants really bad. Like a lot of these

854
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: seems like the Red Sox yellow pants. It looks very strange.

855
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: I know, no yellow pants. They wear white pants. Okay,

856
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: that's why That's why I like that one. Then I

857
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: think there's another one. Who is it?

858
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the Dodgers weird navy deep navy blue pants, cram.

859
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to like a pictures right now, New

860
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: York Giants purple jerseys. I'm seeing some like old schools

861
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: with like like just like the red like it's like

862
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: the old school like nineteen thirties uniformed style that whol

863
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: gray which is the purple and why that'd be kind

864
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: of chill.

865
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

866
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: I'm curious what this is. I feel like this could

867
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: just I don't know. This could be really good though

868
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: really bad. I don't think it's gonna be in the middle.

869
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: All we know, though, is that the old heads are

870
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: going to hate it no matter what. If you're over

871
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: the age of what are we gonna set the line

872
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: forty forty seven and a half, I think you probably

873
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: hate these jerseys forty one and a half forty one

874
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: and a half. Okay, So the millennials, basically millennials and

875
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: under will like it and everybody else will hate it.

876
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again just it's little jersey talk, but I

877
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: think it'll be it'll be fun to have his City

878
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: connector for better or worse.

879
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: At least some talk about I won't be buying it

Speaker 2: the baseball media world. So midweek episode always come here

927
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 2: for the Prospect Reports. Let us know. But Christian Scotts

928
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: again the mess being rained out, just streaming some MiLB

929
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: and Morocco with some sick oh shit. But you know

930
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna miss Christian Scott.

931
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Gotta be the only person watching the Syracuse meds in Morocco.

932
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: Have to be maybe in the entire continent of Africa.

933
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: I guarantee this one more person in Africa doing it.

934
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: But I digress. I push back on that. But again,

935
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: like it starts the season for Christian Scotts as goes.

936
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: We ever could have hoped for five innings, ten strikeouts,

937
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: two hits, one walk, one er and run last night,

938
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: picking up exactly where he left off Bighamton last year

939
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 2: and the spring training this year. So now he's through

940
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: two triple A starts, nine total innings, nineteen strikeouts and

941
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: one walk. Nineteen strikeouts and nine triple A inx that's

942
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: a fifty four percent strikeout rate and a fifty one

943
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: percent strike out minus walk grade, which is just completely

944
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: and clinically insane. It's like, we're getting to the point

945
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: now where we said it's one last episodes in the

946
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: offseason that I don't think he's gonna come up quickly.

947
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: But there was a chance that he was going to

948
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 2: just totally totally push the Met's hand and Koda Sanga

949
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: moving to the six day IL. The only thing it

950
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: meant was that we got a tiny bit more forty

951
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: man roster flexibility, and Christian Scott is not in the

952
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 2: forty man roster. This is the opening where it's like,

953
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: if there's probably three or four more of these, so

954
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: guy gets Syracuse right when I get back from from

955
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: the other side of the world here, Yeah, we got

956
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: to talk to Christian Scott because it could I don't know.

957
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: I'm starting to think Memorial Days the time. I'm really

958
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 2: starting to think Memorial.

959
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: Day if everything keeps going well. We're not on TV

960
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: or the newspaper, so I don't think we'll be allowed

961
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: to get feel passes to talk to those guys. But

962
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: maybe out in Syracuse we got a shot. Yeah, maybe

963
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: we have a shot.

964
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 2: But the Wednesday start was all super encouraging from Scott

965
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: because we've seen a little from the spring training stars,

966
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 2: just because he's mostly like a fastball sweeper slyder guy.

967
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: He's a little susceptible against lefties. But he featured his

968
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: change up on Wednesday night and Boston. I don't know,

969
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: the Worcester socks and Triple A yeah, the wo socks. Yeah,

970
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: very lefty heavy line up. Point half the line was lefties.

971
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: So he was throwing that change up, second most pitch

972
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: thrown only behind his fastball, and it grated out as

973
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 2: an average pitch by stuff plus shout out TJ Stats.

974
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: He's these new stuff plus guy on Twitter. It gets

975
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 2: the graphic out there every day, tons of graphics.

976
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: He loved. Christian Scott.

977
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 2: Only three total hard hit balls again ten strike gas

978
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: in five innings. There were thirteen withs his fourteen fastball,

979
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: thirteen or fifteen called strikes, which I think is just

980
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: pitcher hitlers and Triple A being like, that's ninety six.

981
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: I'm not, that's not even we're swinging that.

982
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't even do it.

983
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: The one home run he the one run he did

984
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: give up though, was on a home run of uh.

985
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: It was a fastball down the middle, so you know

986
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: tippic out for that one.

987
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: It was was it?

988
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 2: It was someone's been around the major leagues. It was Oh,

989
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: it was such a weird backup infielder.

990
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: Damn, I can't remember it now. I should have written

991
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: zuwey Lynn. No, no, no, it was so Guard.

992
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 2: I think it was so Guard Eric so Guard is

993
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: in the Red Sox or was either maybe his last

994
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: name was so Garb but it wasn't Eric. Maybe a

995
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: Nick Soguard, I don't know, but funny as hell. But again,

996
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: Christian's kind of amazing. Everything looks really good. So many

997
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 2: clips went around because the Mets weren't playing, so every

998
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: single as creator had to throw out the clips of

999
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: Christian Scott. But the fastball looks amazing, the two slides

1000
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 2: look good using the change upgainst left.

1001
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: He's is a great touch. Something he's need going to

1002
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: need to do in the major leagues. Wants to be effective.

1003
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 2: I'm over the moon excite for Christian Scott still as

1004
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 2: I was, as I am and as I will be.

1005
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: Want to keep it. Let's keep it with the Florida

1006
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: boys here because we've got Brandon Sprout's debut as well

1007
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: in professional baseball, right, professional baseball debut, two and two

1008
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: thirds innings, five strikeouts, five walks. Don't love that, but debut.

1009
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he's got Maybe he's got some nerves, maybe he's

1010
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: got some jitters, maybe he's excited. But the idea is

1011
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: that five strikeouts and two and two thirds innings, that's

1012
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: what almost every single out, yes, basically every single out. No.

1013
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Seven to two ya.

1014
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: But we're gonna talk about couple cyclones in a row here.

1015
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: It is being sprote Nolan MacLean and Calvin Ziegler, and

1016
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: we should mention that these were all against the Astros

1017
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: High A team, the Ashville Taurus, I think, which is

1018
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: an awful name but an incredible team. Shiltar buddy Nicol Rrew.

1019
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: He is in Brooklyn right now working with this team.

1020
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: Neither Mark and I are here, so we're missing him,

1021
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: which is a real shame because he's the man strength

1022
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: and additioning for the Astros as Astro High A team.

1023
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: But Luise Bie is in that lineup who's probably the

1024
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 2: most underrated prospect in baseball right now. It seemed like

1025
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 2: he was the guy that Mets might have wanted instead

1026
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: of Ryan Clifford last year. But the Astros were like,

1027
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 2: absolutely fucking not, because this guy's a freak. Also, first

1028
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: round pick Bryce Matthews, who was smashing the ball in

1029
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: this series. He's someone who's been like one of the

1030
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: most impressive minor leaguers early in the season. But we're

1031
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: talking Mets right now. Cool thing about Prode in this

1032
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: was that he worked himself into an out of trouble

1033
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: a lot in this outing. He lowered the bases in

1034
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: this third inning before he got pulled, and he got

1035
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: two strikecauts before he left the game. So he beared down,

1036
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 2: nailed it down. We're not gonna have a lot of

1037
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: data and these guys in Brooklyn just because Hya doesn't

1038
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 2: have stack cast, but we're gonna pick in piece what

1039
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: we can do, and we did some good. I did

1040
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: some good picking and piecing on Nolan MacLean, who also

1041
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: made his Brooklyn debut.

1042
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Will you scratch? I've got salt

1043
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: on my neck? Where did I get salt from? All

1044
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: over my neck? Should go to the beach? I mean,

1045
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 1: like I took a trip to the beach a little

1046
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: bit in the sand traps today, but I don't know.

1047
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of salt on me. I can't

1048
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: even saw. I don't even say about that.

1049
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: He got salt on you, Nolan McLean three in the

1050
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: third innings, three hits, no earned, one walk, two strike.

1051
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: I was also two hit by pitches when and four

1052
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: innings of work for the Zyclones. But longest outing is

1053
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 2: as a met in the Mets organization, he was just

1054
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: a couple of tiny little relie appearance his last year,

1055
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: only faced a handful of bad as each time. So

1056
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 2: now as he transitioned to being a star the full time,

1057
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: there's probably gonna be some growing pains, which will be

1058
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: two hit by pitches in three and a third innings.

1059
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: But again, this is a really good Astro's lineup, and

1060
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 2: in the fact they think give up and run, got

1061
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: a few swings and misses, and the fastball in the

1062
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 2: slider looks so good. They look so ridiculously good like

1063
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: that mix right now, I'm not even being harperbolic here,

1064
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 2: Nolan MacLean could be a major league reliever with those

1065
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 2: two pitches, not even Kelly. I think he'd be a

1066
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 2: plus major league believer right now. I think he could

1067
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: be basically what Trew Smith is, which you might think

1068
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: that's being disrepectful Drew Smith, But really that's just how

1069
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: good those two pitches are of nol McLean forard developing

1070
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 2: in the starlet We're gonna take the long way here,

1071
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: and he was throwing a lot of colors in disappearance,

1072
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: and that color is going to be vitally important because

1073
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 2: if you're just throwing a fast ball and a sweeper,

1074
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 2: you need another pitch that's either going to get your

1075
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: soft contact, one you could throw the lefties, and one

1076
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: that can exist in the strike zone and not get killed.

1077
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 2: Astros hit a lot of hard hit balls in this game,

1078
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 2: a lot of hard hit balls. I watched like a

1079
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: full video recap of a shoutout prospect health on Twitter.

1080
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: He's it's been hand tracking a lot of these pitching

1081
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 2: performs since he was watching every Brooklyn cycle in this

1082
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 2: game this week. He's a great Tweather file he's doing

1083
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 2: with he was doing hard hits. He's the man, but

1084
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 2: they were crushing it. But that cut fastball as he develops,

1085
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 2: because that's the new pitch he's working on right now,

1086
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: that's gonna be what guess, Nolan McLean's really actually becoming

1087
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 2: a starter.

1088
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: Which is really cool thing, all Right, and then we

1089
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: got Calvin Ziegler as well. Four innings, nine strikeouts, only

1090
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: one hit, no no hits, no hits, no walks, no runs,

1091
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts in his debut in Brooklyn. And he I

1092
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: know you wrote this down in the notes as Blade

1093
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: tid Wells the forgotten man a little bit here, but

1094
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: Ziegler is kind of the forgotten man because he was

1095
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: the second round pick back in what year was that?

1096
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 2: Was that the twenty that was Christian Scott Mike Vassel

1097
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: drafts of twenty twenty one.

1098
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Yeah, so twenty twenty one. He's kind of the

1099
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: forgotten man because he was someone that you were particularly

1100
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: high on because he had all the like plus mechanics

1101
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: plus stuff, the low release angle from like a little

1102
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: bit of a shorter guy. But I think he's had

1103
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: some injuries, didn't throw a lot of innings. It looks

1104
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: like this year is going to be the year that

1105
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: you hopefully see Zeeler take that next step. And nine

1106
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: shrikeouts and four innings again, not too shabby. This Mets

1107
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: pitching Labyer all of a sudden. I mean, there's there's

1108
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: a guy at the end that you guys have probably

1109
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: never heard of that gym's gonna talk about he's been

1110
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: sending himself tweets on Mets up Twitter just and I'm like,

1111
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: what is going on here? Like, just leave him? I

1112
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: need this for the podcast. I'm doing research. But the

1113
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: Mets pitchers are getting so many swings and missus at

1114
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: the minor league level totally, and I don't want to

1115
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: forget about these guys. And also just again just being away,

1116
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: like definitely not as much on the social media grinds

1117
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: as we usually are, but gonna probably start doing a

1118
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: weekly series from metstup Twitter just as we try to

1119
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: get over the ten thousand follower mark. We're I'm just

1120
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna do crazy threads about Mets prospects having good weeks

1121
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: because people love prospect talking, people love Twitter threads. I'm

1122
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: kind of good at them, so I'm gonna start rolling that.

1123
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: But this Calvin Ziegler start was like literally as good

1124
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: a start as you could ever have as a as

1125
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: a pitcher in any level. Just no hits, no walks,

1126
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: nine strike as four innings like that's disgusting. And the

1127
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: four innings thing.

1128
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 2: A lot of these Mets people probably gonna talk about

1129
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: the fact that a lot of these athings have been

1130
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: very small by these guys, but we're getting built up.

1131
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: It's April.

1132
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 2: And Ziegler himself he only threw one inning all of

1133
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: last year as he was battling bone spurs and by

1134
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 2: Septen and iis so even him throwing four innings for

1135
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: this team and being legit person when he was doing

1136
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 2: it massive massive mentally, it's massive for development, it's massive

1137
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: for everything. And he had eight straight strikeouts in the

1138
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 2: middle of this happening. Eight straight players came to the

1139
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: play struck out against Calvin Ziegler. His fastball sat in

1140
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 2: ninety four ninety six. His curve was fucking crazy. The

1141
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 2: videos on again, guys, look at prospect Heild. He had

1142
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 2: great videos of this. Thirteen whiffs on fifty three total

1143
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 2: pitches and just so so glad to see him healthy

1144
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 2: because he had such a weird track to the draft

1145
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: the majors. Anyway, he was a Canadian, but he couldn't

1146
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 2: MLB scouts couldn't go to Canada then because of the

1147
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 2: COVID travel rule. Still, so he transferred to a prep

1148
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: school in Floria that only does baseball, like they barely

1149
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 2: even do school.

1150
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: From what seems like to me.

1151
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: I think it's called the Heritage School or something, you know,

1152
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 2: and just so scouts could see him, and he actually

1153
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: got draft in that draft because of it, and then

1154
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: immediately dealt with injuries and now he's finally back stronger.

1155
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: He looks bigger, he looks healthier, and he looks like

1156
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 2: someone who we should probably be getting very excited about

1157
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 2: his Mets fans.

1158
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: Definitely. I mentioned Blade, Blade also looked really good five

1159
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: and two thirds, five strikeouts and earned runs. He's a

1160
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: guy who I think you're probably just gonna, you know

1161
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: what he is, you know what you're gonna get out

1162
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: of him. He's gonna be very solid. He might not

1163
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: have these crazy highs that you see of Christian Scott

1164
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: or Calvin Ziegler with the nine strikeouts and four innings,

1165
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 1: but he seems like he's just gonna be a pretty

1166
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: good picture of this organization you need. I don't want

1167
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: to call him oatmeal. That's disrespectful to him, but you

1168
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: need a little bit of that at times. Meat and potatoes. Meat,

1169
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, dude, Blade Tidwell Pop probably loves meat and potatoes.

1170
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I love meant potatoes, You love meant potatoes.

1171
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: Who doesn't love meat and potatoes, Honie Moles no an

1172
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: mos love meat and potatoes too.

1173
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: Probably just had me potatoes for dinner and you don't

1174
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 2: want to do tomorrow for dinner, mean potatoes.

1175
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: How's the Moroccan meat? Moroccan meats. It's slow cook meat.

1176
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: It's called the Taijian. They stay smoking in this little

1177
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: like thing.

1178
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: Every everything that's like that's like the main mealia that

1179
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 2: or chicken skewers, which never never missed, but heavy meat diet,

1180
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: really enjoying it. Also, just like I know, got people

1181
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 2: don't want to talk about the personal stuff.

1182
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: Get over it. If you've gotten this far in the podcast,

1183
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: you probably just like us. Anyway.

1184
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: Walking around this place is like nothing I've ever seen

1185
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 2: in my life. Like the town square, there were snake charmers,

1186
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: there were monkeys on leashes, like black slips for money,

1187
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 2: like people trying to sell you everything. Like haggling is

1188
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 2: such a thing here, like nothing I've ever experienced. I'm

1189
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: doing this outside of my hotel, so whispered to the microphone.

1190
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: I hackled from my hotel. I went on what's that

1191
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: before I came here? And I offered the guys cash

1192
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: usd and they gave me like forty percent off the hotel. Nice.

1193
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it too loudly, but yeah,

1194
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: they did that. Anyone's trying to go to Morocco, there's

1195
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: a little tip for you. Insane like and also like the.

1196
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: People are like aggressive about selling stuff too, like the

1197
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 2: women in the in that square who are trying to

1198
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: sell Henda tattoos. They'll grab your hand and start the

1199
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 2: tattoo and make you pay. Oh, I don't like that,

1200
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 2: bad bad vibes.

1201
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't like that. But I also don't like Hannah.

1202
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, creepy.

1203
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 2: I also, again, I'm not very privy to the Muslim calendar.

1204
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: Of course, not I happen to be here during the

1205
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 2: High of Ramadad, i'd move bar to all the Muslim

1206
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 2: listeners out there. So walking out trying to find restaurants

1207
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 2: for a few days of the trip, they're all closed

1208
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: because you can't eat.

1209
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: So that was a mess up. But it was funny,

1210
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: it was it was It's just cool.

1211
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: I've never been to like a non Christian denominational countries,

1212
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: like being here has been fascinatingly interesting, just interesting people.

1213
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 2: Everyone speaks French, and Arabic, but also some English and

1214
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 2: lowl with the Spanish. It's it's it's a very weird mix,

1215
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: but some crazy food. Also no alcohol, muzzle no no alcohol,

1216
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 2: no alcohol. Also body could use it. I'm feeling clean

1217
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: right now too, after a week of drinking wine Italy

1218
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 2: and the next week can be drinking wine in Spain.

1219
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 2: But this is such a ridiculously insane place, but also

1220
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: some really cool I texted you about they just they

1221
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 2: love soccer here. So Champions League semi finals, I think

1222
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 2: it was the finals seal. Think We're played the other

1223
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 2: night and it was it was Madrid, Munich, Arsenal and

1224
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: I think man City with the four teams playing. I'll

1225
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: remember the matchups. Every single cafe as far as the

1226
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: eye could see old men sitting outside watching Champions League.

1227
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 1: And there's no alcohol.

1228
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: People are just sitting watching sports and smoking sober just

1229
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 2: put us watching sports.

1230
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: It's it was really cool.

1231
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 2: It was just really cool to see like how deeply

1232
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: invested like people in this country are. Because there's no

1233
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: there's a Moroccan league, there's a Morocan champions team. There's

1234
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: only a few like high level players, like you said,

1235
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 2: adults Herat and someone else who I don't know, but

1236
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 2: just cool to see, like sports obsession in the country

1237
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 2: that I wasn't really expecting it.

1238
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Marco's actually got a very good national team. That's

1239
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: why I'm shocked they're not selling jerseys anywhere. They're very good.

1240
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 2: I haven't seen any I'm seeing Madrid, I'm seeing Lakers.

1241
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm seeing Bucks like I'm seeing you know, the colors

1242
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 2: to keep.

1243
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: An eye out for. It's like a red yallow gold

1244
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: and the gold it's green green. Okay, I'll keep an

1245
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: eye out for it again warms weekend. But you know

1246
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,959
Speaker 1: who else was cool? Tell me Jonah Tongue. Jonah Tong

1247
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: talk about him, James Mets fans.

1248
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 2: Jonah tong is like the new sleeper prospect in the

1249
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: system pitcher wise. We also why Ju the pol who's

1250
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: still in the backfield, so we don't get that much

1251
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 2: date on him, but he's still my guy. Jonah than

1252
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: guys Jonah Tongue. Four thirds innings for Saint Lucy, two hits,

1253
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: no runs, two walks, eleven strikeouts, eleven strikeouts. Four thirds

1254
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 2: innings is thirteen outs and eleven of them were punchies.

1255
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. And again he's pitching Port Saint Lucy and

1256
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 2: for some reason stat Cast we have data in triple

1257
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 2: A and we have had data in loway, so every

1258
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 2: Jonah Tong start we're gonna have DAYA four. His curve

1259
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: ball was getting sixty five inches of drop in this

1260
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 2: that is max freed, you harvish levels to drop on

1261
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 2: a curtain. And his fastball had twenty inches of in

1262
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: the vertical breaks.

1263
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 1: Sure rising action.

1264
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 2: Those two has a combination is like he's a smaller guy,

1265
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 2: so we all know how his boy's gonna stand up

1266
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 2: to workload. But that's legit a stuff right there. And

1267
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna call him an ace, but I'm just

1268
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: saying like, as a single a prospect, that's as good

1269
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 2: as you could ever want.

1270
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: And again Shallow got TJ stats. He's doing.

1271
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: It's any picture in the world with Sackcast data. He's

1272
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 2: doing stuff plus for it plus plus on the fastball

1273
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 2: and the color and not the curveball, which is weird

1274
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 2: because I have so much drop, which I think just

1275
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 2: might some models are weird sometimes you never know. But

1276
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 2: he's going to be so fun to track at Portain

1277
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 2: Lucy this year with data. He'll probably will probably get

1278
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: to Brooklyn at some point, but this Brooklyn rotation is

1279
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: stacked with Ziegeler, Nolan, McLean and brandon'spro We gotta pitch

1280
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 2: this baby.

1281
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: Listen, if you're trying to take another trip to Florida,

1282
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: you know I'll never say no. So if you want

1283
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: to go down to Port Saint Lucy catch a game,

1284
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: talk to Joonah Tong, you know you know I will

1285
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: hop on a plane instantly.

1286
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been some cool to do when

1287
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: with the Mets go to Port Saint Lucy and talk

1288
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 2: to a bunch of prospects. That would have been nice.

1289
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's not for us.

1290
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 1: That's another show.

1291
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, a lot of exciting mess prospects stuff.

1292
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: Next week, maybe it's not an exciting week of pitching.

1293
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 2: I'll talk more, talk more about some bats. But this

1294
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 2: was just there were so many good pitching performance this week.

1295
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 2: I had to tell you guys about them because we

1296
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 2: should be really excited about the Mets kind of maybe

1297
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 2: building a bit of a pitching factory here kind of.

1298
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, what is Manchester Baseball Club? Tim?

1299
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,000

1304
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: we didn't use the Instagram like a year. Yeah, so

1305
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,680

Speaker 1: I'll get a beer with you at the absolute worst Yeah,

1317
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:50,480

00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 2: But now as we say goodbye to you guys, we've

1319
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 2: got a nice fun series ProView with the Royal. It's

1320
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 2: gonna wrap this one up and pitching matchups here. This

1321
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 2: was a great moment for the Luis Everino aganda because yeah,

1322
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 2: he went from a start in Atlanta. We started at

1323
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: home against the Royals and Rol swinging a hot back.

1324
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 2: We'll say that, but Friday night ASoft Luis Saverrino versus

1325
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 2: Michael Waka, Saturday Sean and I versus Alec Marsh and

1326
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 2: then Sunday another asof and in homage that Dwight Good's

1327
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: number get being retired, Jose Budo versus col Reagans.

1328
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: Oh Aceoff and the ASoft and a half there. Yeah,

1329
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: the Royals are playing really good baseball. I think they

1330
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: just won the series against the Astros. They're currently eight

1331
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: and four, maybe nine to four. I don't know if

1332
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: Baseball Reference updated the wins and the stats yet, but

1333
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: Bobby Wood Junior is one of the best players in baseball. MJ.

1334
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: Melendez looks like a really, really good hitter, and for

1335
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: those of you who are watching the second half of

1336
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: last season, he did this for like eighty games, so

1337
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: this isn't fake. He is a very very good baseball player.

1338
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: Nelson Velaskaz has not stopped hitting in Salvador pez is

1339
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: drinking from the fount of youth. He's been a phenomenal

1340
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:51,919
Speaker 1: hitter from the start of the year. So they still

1341
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: have some weird guys in there, like Adam Fraser plays.

1342
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's in the lineup. Kyle isbel

1343
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: is pretty awful, but he throws like ninety nine from

1344
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: center field and a Hunter ren for Is. He turned

1345
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: thirty two this year. He looks like you a forty

1346
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: five year old man. He looks horrendous. But this is

1347
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: a fun little Royals team. This is not a walkover

1348
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: kind of like you think the Tigers were and they

1349
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: showed you that they played good baseball. I think the

1350
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: Royals are gonna show you that they're a good baseball

1351
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,320
Speaker 1: team very much in the series.

1352
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 2: As much as we talk about Alan Fraser, two years

1353
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 2: in a row, he's been on the American League trendy

1354
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 2: sexy breakout team being the Mariners and then last year

1355
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 2: the Orioles.

1356
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: True Adam Fraser goes three for three.

1357
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,479
Speaker 2: We just might have to annoint him the best locker

1358
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,479
Speaker 2: room guy in the history of the American League because

1359
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: he's that guy. But new top Fraser. Literally, you talk

1360
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 2: about Boby Whitt right now. Bobby Witt right now has

1361
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 2: a seven to fifty five slugging percentage. With seven to

1362
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 2: fifty five and his X slugging, you know what tells

1363
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: you he's actually getting unlucky eight hundred xcers.

1364
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: Now I don't know.

1365
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 2: His average exson velocity is ninety nine point four miles

1366
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 2: an hour. When a ball hits Bobby WIT's bat, the

1367
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 2: average velosite it leaves as ninety nine point four miles

1368
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 2: an hour.

1369
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: That's his average.

1370
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 2: His barrel rate is twenty seven percent. That average egs

1371
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 2: velosity that x that bower rate, and his seventy one

1372
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 2: percent hard hit rate are all the best in baseball

1373
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 2: right now early in the season. He's twenty three years old,

1374
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 2: he just got paid. He looks like he's becoming probably

1375
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 2: one of the four or five best players in the

1376
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 2: entire league.

1377
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: And I'm saying that not even lightly. Like he's that

1378
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: good and he's charge. I got Bobby with junior cards

1379
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: I've been sitting on and I'm ready. I'm ready to move.

1380
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: Anybody interested hit me up.

1381
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 2: There you go, baby. But this Royals team, like led

1382
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 2: by Wit at the top, is a team that is

1383
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 2: just ready to roll. And you kind of see them

1384
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 2: as someone who in the offseason kind of gave their

1385
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: team a stamp of confidence, where like, we're gonna spend

1386
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 2: a little bit of money right now, and we're we

1387
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 2: think you guys are ready to do something where we're

1388
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 2: gonna sign Seth Lugo. A little said, we're not seeing

1389
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 2: Seth Lugo this series. He just he had a great

1390
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: start against the Astros on Wednesday. But we're gonna sign

1391
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 2: Seth Lugo. We made the big trade for Cole Reagan's

1392
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 2: last year and he's a stud. We're gonna sign Michael Waka.

1393
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 2: This doesn't sound that sext. This doesn't sound that cool,

1394
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 2: but it's like, you know what we're gonna do, Like

1395
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna try and win baseball games. Our division sucks

1396
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 2: and we're gonna we're gonna get We're gonna throw down

1397
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: and play some ball. It's also just twelve games and April.

1398
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,720
Speaker 2: Last year the Pirates were whil like seventeen and eleven

1399
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 2: or something. Then they wound up fifteen five hundred, so

1400
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 2: a lot it can still happen, But this Royll seems fun.

1401
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell her a lot mess fans watch out

1402
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: for Cold Reagans. If you haven't watched the Cold Reagan start,

1403
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna look at him be like, is

1404
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 2: this is this left to Jacob the grum because he

1405
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,439
Speaker 2: just he has an exploding fastball. He's got I mean again,

1406
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm being I'm being hyperbolic right now, but he's got

1407
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 2: a crazy fastball. He's got a sick change up color,

1408
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 2: a slide or a curveball. He throws five pitches least

1409
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 2: ten percent of the time. He's gassing ninety eight ninety

1410
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 2: nine miles now.

1411
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: With the fastball. He's a freak of nature.

1412
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 2: You're gonna be astounded watching a pitch on Sunday, and

1413
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 2: hopefully a lot of people are at the park on

1414
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,399
Speaker 2: Sunday because we're retiring Doc Gun's number.

1415
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, have to say, go support Doc, Go support Doc.

1416
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 2: It's bizarre the bets of retiring his number on a Sunday.

1417
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 2: So I thought that was a weird move. I think

1418
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:40,959
Speaker 2: that kind of feels like they're trying to get people

1419
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 2: into the gate in April. But also similar to win

1420
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 2: Super Bowls that met Life Stadium, the gods have smiled

1421
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 2: upon us. It looks like it's gonna be sixteen sunny,

1422
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 2: So everybody that can be there, get out there.

1423
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: Are you gonna go Sunday? Uh? No, I will not.

1424
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm not able to go there Sunday. I might be

1425
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: going Friday after I land off the plane, I might

1426
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: be going Saturday because they're giving away a Biblehead Saturday,

1427
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: and now that I can actually go into the stadium

1428
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: and get the bibleheads, I kind of want one.

1429
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: Bobats are fun, but this Royal team is going to

1430
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 2: be really annoying because they could hit the ship out

1431
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 2: of the ball.

1432
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: And like mikel.

1433
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 2: Garcia is the breakout player in this team. He's someone

1434
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 2: that the fantasy baseball players, the ball novers went to

1435
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 2: this season, being like, there's going to be a guy.

1436
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 2: Ronald Kuney, his cousin I'm almost positive on. He's hitting

1437
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 2: so well. He is almost as many Pro polled barrels

1438
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 2: through two weeks the season as he had all of

1439
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 2: last season combined.

1440
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: He just he's got the passquatch too. He's a great

1441
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: ballplayer too.

1442
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 2: Yes, he finally has a breakout game on Wednesday, but

1443
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 2: he has to kind of come out of gate slowly,

1444
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 2: and he's kind of showing his his limitations as a

1445
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 2: baseball player, just being like fifteen homer first basement, but

1446
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: puts the back on the ball a ton. He's also

1447
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: a Jersey guy or a Long Island guy, one of

1448
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 2: the two I can't remember, so I'm sure he's going

1449
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 2: to have a huge constituency of family and friends at

1450
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 2: these games this weekend, which is cool because I like

1451
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 2: Vinie Pascuntino Italian Beef's He's a hell of a ball player.

1452
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 2: But crazy fun Royals team, really fun. Watch out for

1453
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 2: James mccarthur in the ballpen the few games they have

1454
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: lost because Will Smith has blown them. James MacArthur has

1455
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 2: much better stuff than Will Smith could not great though,

1456
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 2: but he's stepping in for closer Carl Hernandez and his

1457
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 2: ball one of my favorite leavers in the league, clich

1458
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 2: just heal gas one hundred and two ninety nine. Yeah, yeah,

1459
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 2: I again. This team is playing well, but they're super beatable.

1460
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 2: The Mets can win a third series, a series in

1461
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 2: a row, like suddenly, it's fucking on.

1462
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: We're cooking with oil. Then, for those of you at

1463
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,720
Speaker 1: home who like to gamble, we know steel bases against

1464
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: the Mets you can win free money. Right now. Dyrone

1465
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 1: Blanco leads the team in stolen bases. He has four

1466
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: played appearances five stolen bases, so if he gets in

1467
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 1: the lineup, bet them to steal and then the other

1468
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: guy's Bobby WIT's gonna steal at least won this series.

1469
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: Mike el Garcia steels, Kyle is Bell steals. It's just guys,

1470
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: get on base. They're probably gonna be running. This is

1471
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: a team that is aggressive on the base pass as well.

1472
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 2: I doesn't even realize this. We're alls running seven game

1473
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 2: win streak. They just swept the Astros.

1474
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: Oh they swept them.

1475
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 2: Wow, the seven game win streak after winning one O

1476
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 2: two against the Orioles.

1477
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: So watch out for the hot Royals.

1478
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 2: But let's let's let's let's defend city Field, Let's get

1479
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 2: some wins to their home ball park, and let's celebrate Toakcod.

1480
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: Defend the city. That's who already came with a better

1481
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: slogan than these mats.

1482
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it took it took three seconds. It took my head.

1483
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 2: But happy for retiring dot gunnumber much deserved. He's probably

1484
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 2: he's definitely the second best picture, second or their best

1485
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 2: picture of history, their best.

1486
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: Second, most influential. Give me that.

1487
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, And it seemed like the Wilpon's kind of

1488
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 2: held a grudge against him for doing a lot of drugs.

1489
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 2: I see that, but also kind of having and having

1490
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 2: a lot of success with the Yankees. But I'm really

1491
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 2: happy that one of the all time greats organizations being

1492
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 2: honored how he rose and the MC is gonna be

1493
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 2: legendary and lucky for the Mets that they got sixty

1494
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: and sunny instead of forty five and rainy, and.

1495
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: Dwight looks like he's really really happy. He looks so happy.

1496
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 1: I'm like the most important thing for him. Yeah, He's

1497
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: gone through a lot happy to see this.

1498
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 2: He's talked about how when the Mets told him they

1499
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 2: were going to do it, like he thought it was

1500
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 2: a prank phone call it first, Yeah, which is so sad,

1501
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: but also like he was he was spurned from this

1502
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 2: organization for so many years and he's such an important

1503
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 2: part of it, and it's just it's it's terrible what

1504
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 2: the Wilpon's did to him, and it's really nice that

1505
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 2: he's being welcome back with open arms and now he

1506
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 2: was like doing things with the team again, especially top

1507
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 2: of that getting his numbers to the rafters where it belongs.
