1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: What Is Up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up podcast after the Astro series, a

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: little bit of a weird one here. If you're watching

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: on the YouTube channel, the New York Mets YouTube channel,

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: which you should subscribed to, go ahead and do that.

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm in England. I'm in London.

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: I am.

8
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: It's currently eleven thirty at night. I have not slept

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: in almost forty eight hours. I'm kind of losing my mind,

10
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: especially after that insane game that was Game three against

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: the Astros'. I'm going on the verge of insanity here.

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: So James, I'm really gonna need you to step up

13
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: on this episode. Take over for me here, take the

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: intro because my brain is just simply not in the

15
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: right place.

16
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, got you happy, Happy to hold that mantle for you.

17
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 3: Mark mess just got done with another one of these

18
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: up and down series in Houston where it felt like

19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 3: things were gonna go better than they actually wound up.

20
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about all the games here, plus some

21
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: more fun, plus some dad talk from John which would

22
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 3: be kind of fun. Walk through that process. You guys

23
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: won't hear about Johnny stats now Johnny Dad, But of course,

24
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 3: of course, you guys know where to find us at

25
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: Mets up, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok. You can find us Spotify, Apple,

26
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: met YouTube channel. I think Mark Rey said most of this,

27
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: but I'm also kind of zoned out right now. It's

28
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: been all over the place again. This is you guys

29
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: know where to find us. We got to talk about

30
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: the Mets and this series just to put a cherry

31
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: on top of like one of the weirder games the

32
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: Mets have played this year again, one of the weirder

33
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: Mets seasons we can remember even any year's past, just

34
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: to again like lose, lose a game you think you're

35
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: gonna win, even after another second straight series where you

36
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 3: had a dominant, easy with Game one win on the

37
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: back of a great pitching performance and good performance from

38
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: the hitters, and then just to find ways.

39
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 4: To lose the next two games.

40
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: It hurts. Yeah, I mean, like these were all I

41
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: hate saying this because I feel like we've said it

42
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: so much this year and it's really frustrating at this point,

43
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: but these are all very winnable games and games that

44
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: you feel like last year's Mets team wins, right, I mean,

45
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: these were games that were in the balance, and they

46
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: just could not get that big hit, they could not

47
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: get that big out, they could not get that shutdown

48
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: inning that they needed. And I'm really pointing out to

49
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: Game three, where it just felt like nothing could go

50
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: their way. It was, honestly, from a neutral perspective, it

51
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: was probably one of the best games of the year

52
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: because it really was back and forth, back and forth,

53
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: back and forth until the end of the game. But

54
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: as a Mets fan, I mean, it was a hellish

55
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: game to watch.

56
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: It was just absolutely.

57
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: Brutal to see the team get back, give it up,

58
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: get back, give it up, get back, give it up.

59
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: It seemed like there was just no way to actually

60
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: win this game. And I feel like it's a little

61
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: bit of a microcosm for the season of just we

62
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: get there and then it doesn't happen, and then we

63
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: get there and then it doesn't happen. Like we're so

64
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: close to the verge I think of maybe making a

65
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: breakthrough at times, and then something happens to push us

66
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: back a little bit further.

67
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a complete carbon copy of the

68
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: game last Sunday that we were at the Frisday game

69
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: against the Cardinals, were The only difference was that the

70
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: Mets actually did have a lead in this game. They

71
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: led four to two after the top of the third inning,

72
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: which at that time was like an hour and a

73
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: half into the game. Home, it was one hundred and

74
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: seventy pitches have been their own.

75
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: For those of you at home again, I mentioned it

76
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: in the intro, but I've flew to England for the

77
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: London series Cubs versus Cardinals this weekend and I took

78
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: a red eye flight at or ten pm from Newark

79
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: to England. I have slept one hour since Monday, or

80
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: I guess technically Tuesday at two am was the last

81
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: time I went to sleep, and is currently Wednesday, June

82
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: twenty first, at eleven twenty four English time. I haven't

83
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: slept in almost forty eight hours. I mean, it's just

84
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm losing it right now. And the fact that this

85
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: game through the first three innings went ninety minutes was

86
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: just out of control.

87
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: It was insane.

88
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: Tell the people where you watch this game, Mark, I

89
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: watched this game from an I don't want to say

90
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: youth hostele, but a hostile in the United Kingdom. I

91
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: don't know, you're a hostile man, James, I feel like

92
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: he said, the United Kingdom. Yeah, the United Kingdom, England,

93
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: London is true. Yeah, I mean like you feel like

94
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: a big hostile guy. I texted you, I said, what

95
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: do your survive with hostiles? And you said love them?

96
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: You said love them and it feels right up your alley.

97
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: But boy, oh boy, could not be further away from mine.

98
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: The idea of sharing a room with strangers is just terrifying,

99
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: absolutely insane. And the fact that there's like there was

100
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: literally one men's room in one women's room for the

101
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: entire hostel is just out of control and nuts. But yeah,

102
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: we're hanging out there. The guy give us some good

103
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: deals on some drinks. We had a lot of fun.

104
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: Can't believe that we found a bar in London that

105
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: would put on the New York Mets game, which was

106
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: really cool. But yeah, when would have really been nice

107
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: with it. But it was just like the first three

108
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: innings were just such paint. The bartender almost fought a

109
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: guy during this game because when Peter A. Lonzo hit

110
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: that home run, as you can imagine, I was screaming,

111
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: I was yelling, I was getting rowdy. I mean, I'm

112
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: a Mets fan. It is what it is, and I

113
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: think the bartender kind of got got up with that energy.

114
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: And there was a guy that was standing in the

115
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: bar that was not ordering any drinks at the time,

116
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: and he told he called him out. He said, hey,

117
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna order something or you gotta get out of here,

118
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: and the guy said give me five minutes. They said, no,

119
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: you can get out of the bar, take your stuff,

120
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: get out, and the guys started screaming explotives at him.

121
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: English expletives are different than they are in America. They

122
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: really throw the entire dictionary at everybody.

123
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 4: But it was just it was quite the.

124
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: Adrenaline rush, and then the Mets kind of let me down,

125
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: which which killed me a little bit.

126
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: Describing it just kind of feels like something that's really

127
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: running the mill in England, though someone I've never been.

128
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: Of course, for sure, I expect to see this every

129
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: single night that I go out with the boys the

130
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: rest of the week that I'm here. The lads to you,

131
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: so you're a lad, all big time lads, big time

132
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 1: lads and brubs.

133
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: But I was just gonna wanted to put you guys

134
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: in perpective of where Mark's been for the last twenty

135
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: four hours and how he had to watch this mess

136
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: game because it's real mess fed. You're gonna find a

137
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: way to watch every single game you can. But we're

138
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: gonna turn back right now. Just go game by game

139
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 3: like we always do. Try to grab the few positives

140
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: and a few interesting nuggets we have from the series.

141
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: Got game one Monday night felt mean for the Mets

142
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: not to have an off day and go straight from

143
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: New York.

144
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: So used to me.

145
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: After that's the whole weekly games last week and that

146
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,360

Speaker 4: It's two leaders.

150

Speaker 1: I don't even know how you sell how this is

151
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: legal to sell a two liter bottle of water. But

152
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom comes through, and I'm gonna keep calling

153
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: it the United Kingdom because it's very formal, and everything

154
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: about this country is so formable. It's crazy.

155
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 3: Liked be like watching games to the field, like where

156
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: are you watching it right now? It'd be like, uh,

157
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: North America.

158
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: I'd like say the promenade, the very specific Excelsior level.

159
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: But big thing that happened Monday night, that was very

160
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: cool was that Scherzer looked like his good self again,

161
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 3: back to where he was those last three stars before

162
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: the blow up against the Yankees. I'm going to show

163
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: I'm missing video some pictures here to put into the

164
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: slide into the show right now, but you could really

165
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: tell that his slyder command was much better, something he

166
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: talked about a lot after that Yankee series. So many

167
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: slideres left over the middle of the plate and he

168
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 3: wasn't able to really place any on the outside corner

169
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: against right handed hitters. This game against the Astros, there

170
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 3: were very few in the heart, there were none in

171
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: the zone above the belt, and there were lots buried

172
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: on the corners you guys can see right here. V

173
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: though beautiful and that resulted in seven with only one

174
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: hard hit ball against and eleven times the Astros chased

175
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: a slyder outside of the strike zone. That is the

176
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: most chases that Schrez has had any slyther and any

177
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: on his slider and any start this year. Next closest

178
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: being seven that happened on opening day. That happened in March.

179
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: It's June twenty first, right now.

180
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Last time he had seven was March, and he hadn't

181
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: had more than five since then, just to give you

182
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: a sense of how up and down this actually other

183
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: season has been.

184
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: I ridiculous it is.

185
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: It's graaz So that's awful. Think about this, like me,

186
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: I heard someone say it. The mets of this right

187
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: now are like seventy I think seventy three games in.

188
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: I almost fell backwards.

189
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's a it's a shocking amount of numbers

190
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: to hear. Like, I mean, like talk, I feel like

191
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: you talk to a lot of people, and if we're

192
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: not yeah, seventy four now and we're not, it feels

193
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: like not a lot of people understand how far into

194
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: the season we are necessarily, Like seventy four games, it's

195
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: almost half.

196
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: It's very very almost.

197
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: It's still not like yeah, it's still not like really

198
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: far away, but still also where it's like.

199
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: It's no longer, it's no longer.

200
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: This is baseball. Yeah, but back by back to the end.

201
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: That's to get drury for a moment, the dreary muck

202
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: in London. I'm gonna do an awful accent a couple

203
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: of times now next year.

204
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: It's been so sunny here, dude, It's crazy. The weather's

205
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: been unbelievable.

206
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 4: It's good for you.

207
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: I guess we're gonna go to more hope from some

208
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: of the same. But Suresey have his best start of

209
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: the year. Eight innings, winner and run on a big

210
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: homer from Yaner Diez, but eight strikeouts, only one walking

211
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: ninety one pitches. I thought there was a moment where

212
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: they were going to let him finish the thing, but

213
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: kind of felt like he was getting a little testy

214
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: there last unings.

215
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: You might as well just leave with the great start.

216
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: First time Max completed eight innings in a Mets uniform,

217
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: and he got full season RA down to four point

218
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: oh four, which still mess fense.

219
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: Be like it's over four it's ridiculous.

220
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: But modern baseball right now the league why thera is

221
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: four to three, so that that is still pretty good

222
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: the RA It's not great like you want. Sure, it's

223
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: a much lower than just betting on the gaverage, but

224
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: still a big, big step forward where he's been a

225
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 3: lot of times this year.

226
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the two things that stuck out to

227
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: me from this game was one we talked about it

228
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals game early in that series, where we're like, man,

229
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: wasn't it nice to just have like a really easy,

230
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: relaxing win, just like watch Mets baseball and smile and

231
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: be like, hey, this is fun. The team's pitching, the

232
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: team's hitting, things are going well. Like I like when

233
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: they play like this. I wish they'd do it more often.

234
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: But then two outside of maxchers are pitching really well

235
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: and making it an easy win. Was Francisco Lindor. We've

236
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: talked about it off the birth of his child. I'm

237
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: a pola who he's been very vocal about. He seems

238
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: to be a completely different player. And boyle boy, could

239
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: we have called it better? I feel like that Franciscolador

240
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: seems to just be a little more relaxed now that

241
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: the baby has been had. The swings have been so

242
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: much better. You saw it throughout this series in Houston.

243
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: But the contact, the quality of contact, the barrels that

244
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: he's putting on these baseballs are just so so so

245
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: much better, and you saw it in this game. Because

246
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor had what five RBIs He's like third in

247
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: the National League and RBIs for a guy who, relatively speaking,

248
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: I think from an outside standpoint, like he is having

249
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: a down year. His ops isn't where you want to be.

250
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: His batting average isn't where you want to be, but

251
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: still he's been able to drive in those runs for

252
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: this team, which is kind of crazy for a guy

253
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: who really hasn't been at his best. No.

254
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, this at the end of the game of Monday,

255
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 3: he goes fifty first RBI the season, which I think

256
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: pulled him into second or third National League team bat

257
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: of the a round put up a five spot in

258
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: the third inning off Hunter of Brown has been one

259
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: of the most impressive young pitchers in baseball. Home runs

260
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 3: by Voguie and Lindor hits by Bay the Alva res Marte.

261
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: Francisco Indoor right now is playing pretty well. I had

262
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: the stat I was gonna say it for the game three,

263
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna say it now. On Friday night, after

264
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: that game, Franciscal Indoor had exactly seven hundred ops. I'm

265
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: a polo was born on Saturday, Francisco Inndoor. After the

266
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: game on Wednesday against the Astros, now it is at

267
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: seven to for the ops.

268
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm a pole of fever, baby less ride right.

269
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: And his his WSC plus is back around like one

270
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: oh six. Like again, it's still not great. We're not

271
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: telling you this is great right now, but it looks

272
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: like he just is about to go in one of

273
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: those Franciscal indoor hot streaks, which is really necessary.

274
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: But again, team's hitting well. Team has been hitting well

275
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 4: for weeks now.

276
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: He's been hitting well for like a square month, and

277
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: it's still again, the problem this team is pitching, pitching, pitching, always,

278
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: always over again.

279
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: I also want to give a little tip of the

280
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: cap two to Vogue because we know Vogue has had

281
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: that extended period of break that he had, the mental

282
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: break that he got from the team, and he's come

283
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: back and he's really swung the bat well. We'll talk

284
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: about it more in Game three because I think that

285
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: was like kind of the biggest game for him, but

286
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: even Game one he made an impact. He's having way

287
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: better at bats, He's swinging the bat a lot more.

288
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: Things are looking a lot better for Vogel Back. You

289
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: could say Voguee is back.

290
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: Bogy back, and Stacker is head. John right here, great John.

291
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: Love having John in the show New Fither.

292
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Listen, it's a dad thing. Francisco Indors playing better. John's

293
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: given us stats nowad he's had a child.

294
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Vogel Back has increased his swing rates six

295
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: points from thirty two percent to thirty eight percent since

296
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: coming back from his mental break. It's been a big

297
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: difference and it's cool to see that he's doing it

298
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: and actually getting damaged. Think he already has four extra

299
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: race hits since returning as well. And we also just

300
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: again part of this vogue thing, shout out the bomb

301
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: of the order in this game from Monday night, the

302
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: hitters five through nine had nine hits, five RBIs, and

303
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: ten hard hit balls. A lot of that was due

304
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: to the fact that the Astros just threw Sean Dubbin

305
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: in his major league debut out there to just float

306
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: in the wind. He ends up throwing sixty five pitches

307
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 3: in relief and he just ran out of gas, couldn't

308
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: get him out. The umpire just had to end the

309
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: mercy in the inning on the pitch to Brett Baby

310
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: that was four inches off the plane and Brett close.

311
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: All right.

312
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: I guess whatever, Brett Bay's gonna lose a couple grand

313
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: arbitration few years down the line because of that strikeout.

314
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 3: But you gotta do what you gotta do, and last

315
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: ingar with this game got shout out Grant Heartwig also

316
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: John's boy, gotta say it major league debut. He came

317
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 3: into that game because it was a little bit closer

318
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 3: until it got to that night thinning. I think it

319
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 3: was only six month a time, so I think I

320
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: remember who else was warming up.

321
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: It wasn't a Grant Hardway.

322
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 3: And then theemester I was going runs and you saw

323
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: like the call goo of the bullpen. You saw him

324
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: stand up and he's like you could just like see

325
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: the nerves like in his body, like his eyes like

326
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: perked up. He's like, it's gonna be me on intro

327
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 3: and then and kept going. So it felt like he

328
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: kind of got some of those nerves out throwing in

329
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 3: the bullpen. But his color had really good bite for

330
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: ninety four miles an hour sinker, it looked like it

331
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: had decent movement to sweeper was sweeping.

332
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 4: Around the zone.

333
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 3: Really cool, just a good cool story. He was undrafted,

334
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 3: the Mets grabbed him and he was about to go

335
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: to med school. It's pretty pretty amazing.

336
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, insane sentence, like I was talking to my friend

337
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: who I'm here in London with, shout at my boy wheels,

338
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: and he's like a big Florida Gators fan, and he's

339
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: talking about the catcher on their team, bt Ripoli I

340
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: think is his last name. Okay, just have dude, Yeah,

341
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: go Gators. Dude's having a great year. And he was like, yeah,

342
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm not playing professional baseball, Like I'm going

343
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: into finance. Like there's just it's crazy to think that,

344
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: Like there are some really really good baseball players in

345
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: college are like, I'd rather work up a real job

346
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: than like grind out through the miners.

347
00:12:58,960 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: But shouts Grant Hardwig.

348
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: He chose the hard route, he didn't take the easy

349
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: way out, and look at it, it's paying off.

350
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: Now.

351
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: He's had a great two appearances in the majors to

352
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: the Mets.

353
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: Totally ground ball king, double play king. And also he

354
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 3: graduate from Miami, Ohio. So between me, him and Keith

355
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: rad we have like three of the four major schools

356
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: in the state of Ohio. We just need to find

357
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: someone who went to Owe.

358
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: You now, Yeah, well, Akron doesn't count as one of

359
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: the major schools right now, but no, what about Toledo.

360
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: Toledo it's quasi counts. I'm not going to give it

361
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: to him. Yeah, I mean, we're getting deep into the

362
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: Ohio schools now here.

363
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, one hundred percent. I'm even I'm even giving

364
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: Keith and not here for dating. That's you know, that's

365
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: a little that's a little close. It's close as the

366
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 3: Flyers fly. They're a good basketball school.

367
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 4: The Flyers do fly.

368
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: Now move on to Game two, and we're just gonna

369
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 3: get a little whackier now because.

370
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: We really want to talk about some stuff.

371
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 3: I told you guys strandarfall that is discussing he might

372
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: be the most underrated picture in all of baseball.

373
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: It's kine because he is one thousand percent the most

374
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: underrated pitcher in baseball. Because I mean not that my

375
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: uncle George is the level of deciding of whether a

376
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: pitcher is underrated or overrated or not. But he was

377
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: like flabbergas at how poorly the Mets were formed against

378
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: frambravald doesn't like no Uncle George listen normally like you

379
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: can go on your ants whatever, but like fram Er

380
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: Valdez is a legit dude. He's one of the ten

381
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: best pitchers in baseball probably if you had to say anything,

382
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean fifteen.

383
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 3: Maybe he's at worst case scenario completely holding his astros

384
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: team together amidst of the year where they've lost a lot,

385
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: and you see you kind of feel again this this

386
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: sucks to say after him, we just lost serious to

387
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: them when they had lost five and row coming into it.

388
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: But you kind of can feel like the way that

389
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: a lot of people were like, oh, the Astros got

390
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: off Scott free from all the cheating stuff. A couple

391
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: of years down the line, you're like, oh, they lost

392
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: a lot of draft picks, international pool money, a lot

393
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: of guys that probably have been coming to the major

394
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: leagues now, and they're kind of relying on a lot

395
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: of guys who probably wouldn't be in the Major league otherwise.

396
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: But of course Corey Jolks has to make a diving

397
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: play and like a perfect pick in the throw against

398
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: brand Now, don't even.

399
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Made me start on Corey Joelks. Don't even get me

400
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: started on that guy.

401
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: He's officially got the rabit mooji. It's a totally official

402
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: but just talk by a frame. Ervaldazi leads it to

403
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: the Mets in this game. The first inning, it really

404
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: looked like lindorpo went out and went to the warning

405
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: track would have been a home run in one ballpark,

406
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 3: in Baseball Yankee Stadium, of course, of course, but it

407
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: felt like again, it really felt like Door was the

408
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: only one even get into him. He had two hard

409
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: hit balls off of Framber and a walk. Otherwise the

410
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: Mets team had three hard hit balls off of Framber

411
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: and we didn't get a hit until Can at the

412
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: top of the sixth inning, and then why the westcar

413
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: ground to a dull player thereafter. So Framer Valdez faced

414
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: the minimum through six against the Mets, and then we

415
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: got a little rally going in the eighth.

416
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: We got two runs. Alvarez the double fam hit a single.

417
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: Those wound those wind up being the two hardest hit balls.

418
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: Framber even gave up the whole game, and like it

419
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: was just a pitcher who was completely on. Yeah, this

420
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: was in between flights for me. So I caught I

421
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: caught bits and pieces here and there, but like everything

422
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: I saw, it was like, Oh, fram Er Valdez is

423
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: doing that frame Ravaldez thing where you watch him and

424
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: you're I don't, I don't. I want to say, you're

425
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: not impressed watching fram Ra Valdez because he doesn't put

426
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: up like the crazy v load numbers. His pitches may

427
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: not move like these witch pitches that we've seen in

428
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,359
Speaker 1: the past, but all he does is gets off contact

429
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: ground balls, swings and misses. This year, in particularly, does

430
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: a really really good job. That being said, like I

431
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: don't want to use as an excuse, but like there

432
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: was a guy to run into in this Astros rotation

433
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: that you weren't gonna hit that, that's probably the guy.

434
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

435
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: The coolest thing that Franber does just is getting neardy

436
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: pitching on you guys for a second, is that he

437
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 3: is just really really good having his sinker and his

438
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: curveball tryes two best pitches, like completely marry each other

439
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: and do to what you're gonna do. Like a sinker

440
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: comes in like a bowling ball and the curveball just

441
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: drops right down. They have complete opposite spinaxies, so the

442
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: hitter kind of can't distinguish them when they're coming in.

443
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: They basically look exactly the same but spinning an eye

444
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: like in opposite directions but going different ways.

445
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 4: It's one of the most incredible.

446
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: Things that he does, and it's really amazing to see

447
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: a guy like him who was not a big international

448
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: signe at all that as Ashers put him in the

449
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: pitching lab. They developed this incredible repertoire that can work

450
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: like perfectly off of one another, and you gotta it's

451
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: it's it's just it was just a marvelous see and

452
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: then yeah, tip to cap an amazing organization, one of

453
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: the most sucessful in baseball over the last five years and

454
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: the most successful over the last five years. And then

455
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: the other thing, just this is this is this Verlander,

456
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: not that Verlander. He's still he's that fastball still just flat.

457
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: It only got one whiff in the zone on Tuesday night.

458
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: The Astros are not a team that wiffs a lot

459
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: in terms of most of the team's Major League baseball.

460
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: You can just see that not getting those fastball withs

461
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: like that is what Justin Verlander was always known for.

462
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 3: Like that just powerful fastball on his own, like you

463
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 3: see it, you can't hit it, and he's all, I mean,

464
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: this is it. I mean maybe he can get that back.

465
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 3: Still he's still working up slowly still, like coming off

466
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: Tommy John two years ago. You kinda it takes a

467
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: little bit, like it's hard to kind of get your

468
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: footing back after surgery like that, especially at this age.

469
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: Looked great last year, but I was kind of easing

470
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 3: it how that Tommy John Honeymoon and some people like

471
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: to call it.

472
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: It was tough. It was a tough game. You didn't

473
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 4: even pitch poorly. It was just like you couldn't score

474
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 4: enough off rame for the win.

475
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a combination of I think the lack

476
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: of offense made people think that Verlander pitched worse than

477
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: he actually did. Like relatively speaking, it wasn't the start

478
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: that we want out of a guy like Verlander, but

479
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't a start that doesn't keep the Mets in

480
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: this game. And I think that's, at least in the

481
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: narrative aspect of this, like a little bit important because,

482
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: like you said, like Verlanders still there's kind of like

483
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: that in between of like this Verlander or that Verlander,

484
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: and he just he didn't have that oomph, He didn't

485
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: have that extra little zip, that a little whatever it

486
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: was on that fast ball, and that's like kind of

487
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: the difference. We've even heard Max Schurz are talking about this,

488
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: like when Schures are sitting ninety two ninety three versus

489
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: ninety four ninety five, He's like, I'm just not as good,

490
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what it felt like. With Verlander

491
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: in this game, was he was sitting ninety two to

492
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: ninety three rather than ninety four ninety five.

493
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: Now this and again, he just keeps losing a little

494
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: bit of life, a little bit of hot, a little

495
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: bit that carry on those fastballs. That makes a huge difference,

496
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 3: especially when fastball in the zone. I don't think there's

497
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 3: any better way to accentuate that. In the fact that

498
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: astronally swung and missed at one fastball in the zone yesterday,

499
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: that's just a lot of contact. And they again they

500
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 3: even make like great contact. There was like good amount

501
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 3: of hard hit balls, but it wasn't like they were splashing

502
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: the ball over the yar. It's just when that many

503
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 3: balls are in play, eventually people are gonna break through.

504
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 3: Bregman had a big series. He made a lot of contact.

505
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: Amazing that the Astros did this series. Kyle Tucker did

506
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: have a hit.

507
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 4: Do you know that?

508
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

509
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: I do, because Kyle Tucker's on my fantasy team and

510
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: he's been so so mediocre this year in terms of

511
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: fantasy production, and like I mean, it just it's a

512
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: killer that the Mets lose to the Astros and the

513
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: guy in my fantasy he can't even get me any points, Like,

514
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: come on, at least we're gonna hurt me, hurt me

515
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: in hell me a little bit as.

516
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 4: Bad as it gets.

517
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: Now we got to move on to Game three, the

518
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: drunk game, the insane game, Wednesday afternoon, the matinee. It

519
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 3: was just I can't even comprehend watching this game.

520
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: It was it was, It was so delusional.

521
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 3: There was not a one two three inning in this

522
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: game until the top of the fifth, and the Mets

523
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 3: did not get their first one two three inning this

524
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: game until the bottom of the sixth. By the time

525
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 3: the Mets got their first one two three inning, the

526
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 3: game was nine to eight.

527
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine, imagine watching this game in my scenario

528
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: in a different country that doesn't give any of a

529
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: crap about.

530
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: Baseball, on a lack of sleep.

531
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: I've had a couple of drinks, you're having some fun,

532
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: you're hanging out like it was just it was a

533
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: fever dream of a game and all the wrong ways

534
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: it was.

535
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 3: And especially the fact that we're you know, podcasting after

536
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: but like just again, walk walkers through watching this game.

537
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 3: Because the Mets did have moments where they came back,

538
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: moments where they fell back behind. Corey Jokes officially a

539
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 3: Met killer now domin gleionas his first bat outing, and

540
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: it feels like a month which was really tough to see.

541
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 3: If bog Back was great, the offense storm back like

542
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 3: the Door had another huge game, but like just this

543
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 3: is one of those games I we keep saying over

544
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 3: and over again, I feel like a broken record, but

545
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 3: like this is a like a game twenty twenty two,

546
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: Mets find a way to.

547
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: Win, No.

548
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: One hundred percent like it was. Mets had roller coaster

549
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: games all throughout last season, and it seemed like every

550
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: button that got pushed was the right one. It seemed

551
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: like every decision that got made, every hit that was

552
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: needed happened, and right now they got close.

553
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: To it like this, I feel like this was the

554
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 4: closest of the.

555
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: Games that felt like are winnable that we haven't won,

556
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: which is like such a lame loser thing to say,

557
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: I know, but like it was so this game was

558
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: so so winnable, even to the last out. It was

559
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: such a winnable game. So the fact that it was

560
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: so back and forth, like I don't know if it

561
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: makes it hurt more or less, but from the outside

562
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: perspective looking in on like the way that we were

563
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: watching this game, I was like, man, this one is

564
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: a tough, tough game to watch. It just hurts a

565
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: little bit more than.

566
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 4: Normal, so much more normal because there was just so

567
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: many ways.

568
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 3: And also you could just like see it like like

569
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 3: Buck's trying to keep like Miguel out there for as

570
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 3: long as he can.

571
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 4: He just doesn't happen.

572
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: It doesn't have a lot because you know, like once

573
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: like once you start that parade, like I don't know

574
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: when it's gonna end. Like you did get the dig

575
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: at length at the last two like fifteen innings, pitch

576
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: out of Scherzer Verland in the last two days, like

577
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,239
Speaker 3: the bullpen was like saved in a way, But it's

578
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: also just like I don't know, like when there were

579
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: two men on and dominic Leon's coming in the game

580
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: the third inning, like are you are? Is that gonna

581
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: be David Roberson? Like is that gona be autam on

582
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: the veino?

583
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: Like Noah, And I think there's like obviously Mets fans

584
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: have a lot of criticism about everything going on in

585
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Mets world, but like relatively speaking, like I don't I

586
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: don't really know what Buck could have done in this game,

587
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: because when you have to take out a picture in

588
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: the third inning, you do kind of handcuff yourself with

589
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: what are the possible outcomes, what are the possible situations

590
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: that you can put yourself in to succeed. And I

591
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: really don't think that any of the decisions I made

592
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: had actually any sort of impact on what happened. It

593
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: was just like we couldn't get that big out, we

594
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: couldn't get that big hit, we couldn't get what we

595
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: needed to get over that hump in a game that

596
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: felt like we're I know we did have a lead technically,

597
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: but it did always feel like after that four to

598
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: two lead, we were, you know, fighting from.

599
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: Behind definitely, And like the game starts in just such

600
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: a weird way for Peter Linz run out of the

601
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 3: base line and a ball that would have gotten up

602
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: the line scored multiple runs. I was like, what the

603
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: heck is going on? That's like from playing baseball, Like sometimes.

604
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: You do things like that and you dare them to

605
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: to go get you down for sure. I mean, like

606
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: I listen, I was, I like to consider myself like

607
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: a solid baseball player, but I would do little gets gamesmanship.

608
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta be a little bit of a

609
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: sportsman here, and to to do something like that, like

610
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: it's a very conscious effort, like, hey, I'm gonna try

611
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: to get a little bit in the baseline here. I

612
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: don't think he was like I want to run all

613
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: over the infield grass like he did, but to run

614
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: to the base line, like yeah, it's it's a smart

615
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: baseball play if you don't get caught, but when you

616
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: do get caught, it ends up looking like a bad decision.

617
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: But like I can't, I can I can you fault him?

618
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: Can you fault anything here? It's just like, like you said,

619
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: the difference between this year and last year is like

620
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: last year it feels like that works.

621
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: This year we get caught.

622
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you go to the bomb of the

623
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 3: inning because the mess again like the best favorite thing,

624
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: have the basic loaded and not score a run And

625
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: then you get to the bomb of that inning and

626
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: the and the Astros gets two wild pitches. Like it's

627
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: like it's just it's just freaking annoying. How like these

628
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: little things like go bad for us and go for

629
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: everybody else. It just feels like nothing can go right.

630
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: I feel like in previous games, maybe you could point

631
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: to this or that is the reason why the game

632
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: went south, why the Mets lost this game. But it

633
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: felt like in Game three against the Astros, it was

634
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: just an overall collective like we didn't play well enough.

635
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: We played the offense was great, but we didn't get

636
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: a complete game out of this team, which is why

637
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: we couldn't beat the Astros. Who I mean, I know

638
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: they're struggling in like the biggest of air quotes possible,

639
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: because there's still like nine or ten games above five hundred.

640
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: But like you said, whatever it is, but like for

641
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: like a struggling Astro, seem like they still do play

642
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: complete games. This is still a World Series championship team.

643
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: And you can kind of almost see the difference between

644
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: the two.

645
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 3: Definitely, and you have the moment the next inning when

646
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: Marte gets the big two run Dell, but you get

647
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: the runs back back where we started. The Francisco indoor

648
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 3: comes up and Christian Xavier out of nowhere. Definitely didn't

649
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: have Christianaviere falling off a cliff like by twenty.

650
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: Twenty three Bengo card.

651
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: But he's throwing the flattest fastball I've ever seen in

652
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 3: my life. It's fly than your kitchen table.

653
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 4: And he throws too.

654
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: The Francisco Indor swings through and he's looking at him

655
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: like I can get that pitch, and he gets a

656
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: slider in the zone, fights off a couple I think

657
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 3: another curve ball or something, and.

658
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: He puts one to the warning track, which he went

659
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: on like right to the wall, and you're like, gosh,

660
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: that was.

661
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 4: A three run home run.

662
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: After the two run double, you're like, now we're cooking

663
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: with gas. And then it goes back and forth after that. God,

664
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: I was so frustrating to watch this game, and even

665
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: when like the chaos was like at his peak, at

666
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: his peak, and like the fifth, sixth, seventh innings here

667
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: and the Mets have a rally going Brett he scored

668
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: a couple of runs and then Brett Baby comes to

669
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: the plate, who's like been swinging a better bat. Was

670
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: right after the pns of home run, he puts the

671
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: ball nice the way he goes with the opposite field pitch,

672
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: and Corey Jolks just does like, look what I found

673
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: diving catch you like you gotta be kidding me. Then

674
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: the next inning, Brandon looks like he starts off with

675
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: the like no, we gets a double after himf and

676
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Revias flies out and Corey Jolks makes a backhanded pick

677
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: off the top of the Crawford box. It missed the

678
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: home run by three inches. God he throws up brand

679
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: Neill on a one hot in a second base and

680
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: you're like, the freak is Cory Jokes even playing right now?

681
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: And like, I can't I can't stand it. There was

682
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: just so many little things that we got a story

683
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 1: from Keith in this game that he failed ten.

684
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 4: Gary and Keith.

685
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: Were talking about biology classes because they were talking about

686
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 3: Grant heart Wakes. I think it was pre med biology

687
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: at Miami, Ohio, and they were talking about how much

688
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 3: they hated biology in high school. And really, is like,

689
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: I like biology, that's all right, Keith, Like I failed

690
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: biology I had. He's like and the worst. But is

691
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: I love my teacher? Mister Carpenter was a great teacher.

692
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 3: I had to go to him after I failed. I

693
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: did so poorly in the class. I was just I

694
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 3: was not interested in biology, Like I wasn't interested in biology.

695
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: What ever, question for you, what's what's your least favorite

696
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: of the sciences? Which one did you struggle with the most.

697
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 4: Struggle with the most. I was decent the sciences.

698
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 3: I probably struggled with chemistry the most. Really I was technical,

699
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 3: but I did. I just I like the sciences and.

700
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: Flo and man, she keeps you in the box a

701
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: little bit exactly.

702
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 4: Biology.

703
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 2: It was great.

704
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: My biog my freshman shadow mister was mister mister mcghin.

705
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: You had mister mister mcgin James mcghiney legend.

706
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: He loved me in biology. He recommended me for every

707
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: bio was like, I don't want.

708
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: To that dude gave me an a for no reason.

709
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: You couldn't. He was a good hang. He looked exactly

710
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 4: like the Raiders coach at the timetime.

711
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh so much. Mine was physics. I was god

712
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: awful at physics.

713
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 4: I didn't make physics.

714
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: I didn't make a lick of sense in my brain.

715
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: I was like, but this is moving at the I

716
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: don't have to explain to you guys, it's nonsense.

717
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 4: Physics isn't real. I was lights out physics.

718
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: I was.

719
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 3: That was probably one of my favorite ones to actually

720
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: go through and do it was It was really difficult,

721
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 3: but I was like, this is this is cool?

722
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: Like I get this, but that was a chemistry man.

723
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 3: Keith said that when he failed the course, he already

724
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 3: had he already had a scholarship offers from Stanford and

725
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: Berkeley and he was accept the tenth grade Keith ands

726
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: California baseball player and accepted to the Air Force. And

727
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 3: he said he had to go to mister Carpenter was

728
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: super honestome, he said, mister Carpenter, he had a great class.

729
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 4: I was interested in it. No, He's like I was

730
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 4: just I just wasn't interested in I just didn't do that.

731
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: Well, like please, like, could you please bump this out

732
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 3: to a c mis because I don't want to lose

733
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 3: these scholarships.

734
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: And he did it, and Keith didn't even go to college.

735
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 4: But this story happened.

736
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: The fifth inning of this game. Usually we don't get

737
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: wacky Gary until until late in the game.

738
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: And then how many how many minutes were how many

739
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: minutes were we into the fifth inning? It was like

740
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: what two and a half hours at that point, So yeah,

741
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: we were, but just just because approaching the bedtime.

742
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got a lot of this game, so many

743
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: Keith crowns. It was I think there were like six

744
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: walks in the first, like three innings like it was.

745
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: This was an insane game. It's just these insane games.

746
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 1: Last year, the Mets always found a way that got

747
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: the big hit, they made the big play, they got

748
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: the shutdown innings, and you couldn't get it this time.

749
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: And all of this just comes back to the fact

750
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: that the Mets are just not getting enough pitching right now.

751
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: Bring well, let's bring in John.

752
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 4: Bring bringing let's new father John.

753
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: Actually, I don't think I can say. I think that's

754
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: a priest, you know.

755
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: VI.

756
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: You know, Vida's gonna start calling him Johnny, Daddy, Johnny

757
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: and daddy. Yeah, he has.

758
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: Been calling me daddy for a while anyway, So being

759
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 2: long before Sophia was born. What's up, guys, James, I

760
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: like your point, by the way, real quick, but John,

761
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 2: a lot of home games. How was your week? In

762
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: my week, it's been pretty slow, you know. No, things

763
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 2: have been amazing. You know. Father's Day was obviously just crazy. Uh.

764
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: I was not with you guys Sunday. I was not

765
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: at the stadium on Sunday.

766
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: Lame I would you have a kid or something?

767
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, at nine thirty nine pm on Saturday night. No, yep,

768
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: So left the stadium and like this kind of eighth

769
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: inning on Saturday. Probably should have got out there a

770
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 2: little earlier. But you know, there's a lot of like

771
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: false starts when it comes to pause.

772
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: Real quick, yes please, it's kind of hysterical, man.

773
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: Then you know the exact time, like your your wife's

774
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: probably whaling and John's like, wait, wait, this is this

775
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: is the true.

776
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: John test Who was up at the plate, who was pitching?

777
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: What were the rangers doing? Like what was going on?

778
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: It was between innings? You brought up the rangers, so

779
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: shout out Hendrick lnquiz going to the Hall of Fame. Finally,

780
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: how to drop that in? Now? It was between innings?

781
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: I think I was. It was actually probably three innings

782
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: later that I should have left. It really was. But

783
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: you know, it was, like I said, there's a lot

784
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 2: of false starts when it comes to this. And I

785
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: wasn't too far away, but I got there like two

786
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: and a half hour. I need I need to interrupt John.

787
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: I need to interrupt John. And this is a note

788
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: that I got.

789
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 4: From the inside.

790
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: John was in fact told by his boss to leave

791
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning. He was told by his boss, Sorry, John.

792
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 4: Do not tell missus baron, No, don't tell Well.

793
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: She listened sometimes, so that's that's not just yeah, yeah,

794
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: I guess Sophie has been all over it. So if

795
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: he has love a mess up, she's been a mess

796
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: up listener for the last nine months. Probably, I guess.

797
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: So some stickers, yeah, absolutely.

798
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'll put We'll put them all over the bedroom.

799
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: But no, it's been great. It's it's life changing. Guy's seriously,

800
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: like I couldn't imagine it nine months ago, couldn't imagine

801
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: it a year ago, and like it kind of inspires

802
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 2: you to just be a more responsible person in a way. Yes,

803
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm starting to inch closer. I told

804
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: you guys this before, and I'll own myself again. My

805
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: in laws we've been we've been staying with them. They've

806
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: been a great help. Can't thank them enough. I know

807
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: I trashed on my father in law last time I

808
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: was on with you guys, and I don't take James.

809
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: I can't take a job. By the way, I still

810
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: mean everything I said. Last time I'm watching the net game,

811
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: he comes down, he's like, oh Coles, and the seventh

812
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: we go to watch, I'm like, dude, come on, I

813
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: just had a kid. But anyway, I've heard from many

814
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: different people that they are surprised as to how much

815
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: I've been like helping and like on top of stuff

816
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: and just changing diapers and just like diving right in

817
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: and making sure everything is good. So I guess like

818
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: it was kind of a low bar that the expectations

819
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: were at.

820
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: But I tell you this, I don't I wouldn't say

821
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm surprised because I assume that when it happened, it

822
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: was gonna be like a paternal instinct. You were a

823
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: snap into it. You're gonna be ready a role. But

824
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: I can totally see why people who may know you

825
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: better than me and James, we've known you for a

826
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: year essentially, would be a little bit more skeptical about

827
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: what what the involvement could possibly be.

828
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could definitely see the guy in his thirties

829
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: who still wears backwards hat and basketball Jery's on the

830
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: beach for in laws to.

831
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: Be half surprised by your fatherly instincts. We all knew

832
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 4: you had in you. We were very excited for you

833
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 4: to become a dad. We're happy that you're glad that

834
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: you're doing it. You're glowing John.

835
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's crazy. So is it the

836
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: backward had the basketball jersey then yeah, people think I'm

837
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: part of it.

838
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a tough one a lot.

839
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to change. That's the thing I don't

840
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 2: want to change. I want to be one of those

841
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: cool dads.

842
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we know you'll be one of those really

843
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 4: cool dads.

844
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, guys, I've learned how to like collapse the

845
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: stroller popper into the guys. It's a brand new ball

846
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: game here. I'm gonna be I already do dishes, laundry, cooking, Like.

847
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: Whoa, he's getting on laundry, guys, that's big. He didn't

848
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: do laundry, and two episodes ago, John say he won't

849
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: do laundry, well selected laundry.

850
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: That's the thing, you know, I'm not going to be

851
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: washing the belt right. No one wants that, and I

852
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: think everyone understands that. But like, I could put a

853
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: couple of spit up rags in the in the washer

854
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: and then throw them the dryer and fold them nice.

855
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: I'm more than happy to honestly, like, I'll she's downstairs sleeping,

856
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: so couldn't introduce her to everyone out there. But I'll

857
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: introduce her eventually. She's great, she's precious, makes a bunch

858
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: of cute noises, and yeah, I mean it's it's when

859
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: I woke up that morning, obviously we all heard about her, Lindor.

860
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: We all heard about Lindor and his baby, and that

861
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: he was not missing the game that night.

862
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: John missed a podcast episode. A day later, Lindor played

863
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah right.

864
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: Home run by the time. By the time John came

865
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 3: back to this podcast, So.

866
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 2: Found out that morning about Lindor having the baby. And

867
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: I never thought for a second in myself that like

868
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: my baby would be born on the same night. I

869
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: woke up that morning expecting it to be a week later.

870
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: The dud date was June twenty fourth. I'm thinking, Mets

871
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: are in Philly, and I'm I'm cruising until then, and

872
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, next thing, you know, there

873
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: she is. So that's the way it goes. Hopefully the

874
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: boys and get her a couple wins in Philadelphia. Definitely,

875
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: the Mets have the teams in front of them ahead

876
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: of them, Phillies, Brewers, Giants, like, it's all in the

877
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: Met's hands right now. And that's a great point along

878
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: with James's point of a lot of home games remaining,

879
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: so we'll see what the boys can do in Philly.

880
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: And speaking of Philly, let's get to estimate. I know

881
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: that this is my one time where you guys will

882
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: just happily listen to it. So you guys didn't do

883
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: realize to that last week. If you had, I had

884
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: two ideas, it was either Jose brave total bases because

885
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: we know how big of a Jose a brave guy

886
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: I am, of course really are, or over under diaper

887
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: has changed. I was gonna do. That would have been done,

888
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: and I would have been honest. I'll be honest about

889
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I'm not rooting for anyone here,

890
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: so put that out there. But what we're gonna go

891
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 2: with for this series is two strike hits between the

892
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: two teams and we do that because Bryson Stott actually

893
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: leads the major leagues and two strike hits. Nick Castianos

894
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: is up there as well. Yeah, Bryson Stott hard to

895
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 2: put away with two strikes, little did you know. So

896
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: that's what we're gonna go with. The meta don't strike

897
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: out much themselves as a team.

898
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: Fun factor brought Bryson Stott loser, he's got the worst

899
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: walk up songs in Major League Baseball and the snyven close.

900
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: So I just want that to be put on the

901
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: airwaves for everybody to know, because I'm I'm glad to

902
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: plant my flag in that one.

903
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 4: But okay, so it's two strike hits by both teams.

904
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 2: Two strike hits by both teams combined.

905
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I don't have a pen, I don't

906
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: have paper, I'm in England. This is gonna be scream

907
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: don't I don't mind. Then, okay, two strike hits. I'm

908
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: gonna okay, I got a number one.

909
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 4: Well we'll go with it, and it might be one

910
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: of the worst guesses ever.

911
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, James got his whiteboard three eight o.

912
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 4: Seven.

913
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: All right, we'll have to see what happens. I won't

914
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 2: bring up Chase sultly to you guys during the series,

915
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: just to keep everyone everyone. I mean, look, look what

916
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: what Veto said earlier today about the Beatles cut.

917
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: His mike cut his mike.

918
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: No, it's the worst take to Chase, the worst take,

919
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 2: the worst take. Yeah, it's not worst the worst takes

920
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: that part of my life.

921
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 4: It's a bad take. But nothing's worse than your Chase

922
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 4: Utlely takes.

923
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: My Chase Utlely takes correct.

924
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: It's personal, your Chase Utly take. That's what makes it work.

925
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: Long I could see past, I could see past that.

926
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's correct.

927
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 4: As a father.

928
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: Now he's bigger than that.

929
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: You know.

930
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 3: We'll start bringing this into the Philly preview. The Philly

931
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 3: fans are so what's where I'm looking for? Stupid that

932
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 3: they have now all started to compare Bryson Staff to

933
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 3: Chase Utly because he's a middle infielder with long hair

934
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 3: who hits the ball sometimes. Like that's happening, they say

935
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 3: on Twitter. I'm like, what the heck are you guys talking?

936
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: Wow?

937
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: I was not ready for that. I was not ready

00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 1: for you to just drop a Philly fans are stupid.

939
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,160

945
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 4: of John Baron.

946
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: Everything's everything's coming along with the hats thing backwards. So

947

Speaker 2: I will see you guys, see you guys on Sunday

948
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: after the Philly series.

949
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: See it, John? All right, so yeah, Philly's preview. We

950
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: haven't played them in a minute, right, well, in like

951
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 1: a month.

952
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 4: It's it's been about a full month. I do last

953
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 4: three weeks.

954
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: Actually, I could you want to highlight one important thing

955
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: about the this Mess playing the Phillies. When the Mets

956
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 3: played the Phillies last, we swept them in City Field.

957
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 3: We were at that Thursday afternoon game. The Mess record

958
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 3: of the time was thirty and twenty seven. The Phillies

959
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: record time was twenty five and thirty one.

960
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 4: Why are you doing this to me?

961
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 3: I just you got to say it, because that it

962
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: seemed like that getting swept by US was a huge

963
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 3: wake up call for the Phillies because right now as

964
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: of recording, they're playing a game right now against the

965
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 3: Brais or I thinkst in rain delay. Actually they're thirty

966
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 3: eight and thirty five. So since that game against the Mess,

967
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: they've lost the next day again to the Nationals. They've

968
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 3: lost the game before us to the Braids. That was

969
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: a five game losing streak. Oh my god, they're thirteen.

970
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: And freaking six, like come on thirteen and four. They're

971
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: thirteen and four since then, thirteen I mean, I think

972
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: I swept by the Mets. You look at their lineup,

973
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: like everyone's kind of hitting. Jajuromutu had a cold start

974
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: of the year, is back a little bit. Bryce and

975
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: Stott cold starts of the year, better than league average.

976
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber, I know he's sit in one ninety one,

977
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: but he has twenty freaking home runs, better than the

978
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: league average. Brandon Marsh Decastianos, Bryce Harper, like they're kind

979
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: of just mashing. I'm not one to, really, what's the

980
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: right word, give the Phillies praise or any props because

981
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: obviously we know I hate Philadelphia and the city and

982
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: everything about it. But god man, they're playing good baseball

983
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 1: right now, which I cannot deny.

984
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and old friends, Taiwan Walker has really settled back

985
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 3: into the Taiwan Walker. Everybody knows still the first half, Yeah,

986
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 3: still half, still first half Taiwan. We are actually gonna

987
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: missing the series again. But I still do want to

988
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 3: shout them out because the Mets fans know from last year,

989
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 3: like you have guys like Taiwana, your rotations really easy

990
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: to start the hot streak because the worst case scenario

991
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: is gonna he's gonna give you some innings. He got

992
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: blown up by the Dodgers on May first in LA

993
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 3: gave up eight earn runs and three and thirds innings.

994
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: Since then, he's a two seven yr huge and he's

995
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 3: gone at least six innings in one, two, three, four, five,

996
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 3: five of his five is nine starts so well that

997
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 3: I mean kind of the big thing with this Phillies

998
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 3: seem though, is that their bullpen is still bad. Their

999
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: bullpen is still not very good.

1000
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: And if we can get to that bullpen as early

1001
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: as possible, that's when you can really start to make damage.

1002
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: Because outside of Andrew Vasquez, who I'm genuinely am not familiar.

1003
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 4: He's a lefty.

1004
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: Sure, he's six foot six lefty. Who the freak is

1005
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: this guy?

1006
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: No, this guy was on my list two years ago

1007
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: for all like the relievers Mets. I guess I should

1008
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: have told me that ahead of time. But you know

1009
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: he's Yeah, he's big time fast balls either he pimped

1010
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: and stuff plus out of nowhere and now he's just

1011
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 3: really good.

1012
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: So the two big lefties that they have with him

1013
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: and Jose Alvarado are good and everyone else thinks. So

1014
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: it's like, get to this bullpen and we're gonna have

1015
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: good things happen, especially because the bats have been swinging

1016
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 1: it well.

1017
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, they haven't swinging it well. It's it's just like

1018
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: you guys know the Phillies, Like, we gotta get to

1019
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: this team. Just gotta get to this team. This is

1020
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 3: a team that's directly in front of us. Again, they

1021
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: have been on fire since we beat them, and we

1022
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: have been completely ice cold since we beat them.

1023
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 4: So where so the Phillies? I said before, what thirteen

1024
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 4: four the Mets.

1025
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 2: Thirteen?

1026
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: Imagine that it's like the most depressing number I've ever heard.

1027
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: So let's just freaking beat this team again, get back

1028
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 3: on the right track. If anything, if this the Mets

1029
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 3: team could do anything right now, it's beat the Phillies,

1030
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: Greg right, Like that's all we've done for.

1031
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:58,799
