27
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 4: on Friday. I just pulled up in Mark's apartment. We

28
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: did a bunch of tiktoks, we made that Right video together.

29
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 4: We're gonna have some funny quiz content coming out for

30
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: you guys soon. I think I think we might have

31
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 4: figured something out with this format that we that was

32
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 4: used for the Right video, which you know that that

33
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: crispy script writing and the half and half split screen

34
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: of the highlights and the uh and again our beautiful faces.

35
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 4: So I think that might be something we start to

36
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 4: do more of. But I mean, this Weekend Mets Baseball,

37
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 4: it was just another one of these series where it's

38
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: like kind of this like sobering reality where you're like

39
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 4: every time it's like they're gonna turn the corner, They're

40
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: gonna get hot. David Cohene was singing the praises on

41
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: Sunday Night Baseball, saying like, I cold feel I think

42
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 4: something gonna happen and win to and I could really,

43
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: you know, help his team get another step in the

44
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: right direction coming into the series, or I think after

45
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: Friday they'd won was there like fifteen to ten the

46
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: last twenty five, Like that's pretty high winning percentage, and

47
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: they just just play two games where were like, oh man,

48
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 4: like it was close and just we didn't have it.

49
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: And again, I think again the word is just sobering.

50
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said, there were positive vibes going into this,

51
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: and like sometimes you lose, and that's kind of what

52
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: happened in Game three more so than Game two. Sometimes

53
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: the other team just plays better, and like there's not

54
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: anything that you can point to and say this is

55
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: why that happened, or this is why like the Red

56
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: Sox just outplayed the Mets in Game three.

57
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, the vibes were positive.

58
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: I mean, like even I'll shout out the Sauce Bass himself,

59
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: John Hayman, like he wrote an article about different things

60
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: that could be happening, and he was even like, hey,

61
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: like these guys are still good. They still have a

62
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: lot of good players on this team. Like it'd be

63
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: crazy to just completely give up and think they're out

64
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: of it because they've had a bad stretch here there.

65
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, like not getting the series win definitely makes

66
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: it feel a little bit different, especially after that weird

67
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: Game one where they got a really good win, like

68
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: a good team win, good pitching all around, Like things

69
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: felt good going into what could have been a series

70
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: winning the same day on Saturday.

71
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, And even just like looking this weekend because

72
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: we're all doing the same thing. Everyone just keeps looking

73
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: at the standings like I can't like who we do this?

74
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: Can we make this happen? Like you look at the

75
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: teams like ahead of the Mets, You're like, I'm not.

76
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm not like scared the Padres and not scared of

77
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: the Coups, definitely not scared of the Marlins. And it's

78
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 4: like you can hop those teams like you think about

79
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: you just string these wins together, hoppyse teams. We keep

80
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: begging for the ten game winning streak with a with

81
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: a nice nice allergy allergy full pizza on the line

82
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: for the two of us. But it's just every time,

83
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: it's just you think you're gonna get there. You thin

84
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: you're gonna turn the corner. You kind of feel like

85
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: the switch is gonna flip. It's like, all right, it's

86
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: gonna feel good again. It just it just doesn't and

87
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 4: that switches can't can't get flipped, but we should start

88
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: with at least a positive. Game one on Friday, really,

89
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: I guess also Game one on Saturday, weird suspended game.

90
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: It was.

91
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: It was also just fun seeing a lot of these guys.

92
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: His Mets team has a lot of young players on it.

93
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: Vento's got the call before the game as well, so

94
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: really cute seeing Alvaz, Baby and Viento.

95
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: It's their first time is in Femway Park.

96
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: That metsa social media put those cue pictures of them,

97
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: like look looking through the monster windows.

98
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, it looked like very Bay looked like

99
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: he was like in a drive through window.

100
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: It was kind of it was funny, but nice to

101
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: see these guys, like just see how amazing their relationship is,

102
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: like how much they genuinely enjoy spending time together and

103
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: playing together and then being on this team together.

104
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the rain kind of just dampened the whole vibes

105
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: of the day because, like, like you said, like the

106
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: vibes were good, the guys were hanging out. Code I

107
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: Sangam making the start as well, his first time in Boston,

108
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: going up against uh Mastak Yoshida, another prominent Japanese rookie

109
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball this year, So that conversation was

110
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: going on. That's narrative as well. But the rain kind

111
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: of killed the vibes and the Mets got off to

112
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: a somewhat hot start. Granted, Senga wasn't as sharp as

113
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: he has been in previous starts, but the Mets' bouts

114
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: were swinging from the first few innings, got the Nemo

115
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: home run, got Vogel back on the board with the

116
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: home run, like things were looking good. And then of

117
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: course as we start to get hot, the rain comes

118
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: in cools everything off and where they really tried to

119
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: get this one in. But I don't know if you

120
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: saw the videos of Fenway Park, I did not realize

121
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: that that place floods like crazy. I know, it's an

122
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: old stadium, so like the plumbing and the the what

123
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: is irrigation would but I'm sure it's not up to

124
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: up to date with what you know, what typical modern

125
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: buildings do. But it was crazy to see how much

126
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: water came into that stadium, like the inside of it.

127
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: I can't even know that that Famway Park is notorious

128
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: for the flooding and it was just the videos and

129
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: pictures were crazy like this made like national news media

130
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 4: like like the AP was writing about the Daily Mail

131
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: rode about like flooding at Fenway Park, like announcers get wet,

132
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 4: like I was listening to this game on the radio

133
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: walking to a friend's house some on Friday, and Keith

134
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: rad was like, Oh, there's water in the boot. There's

135
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 4: water in the booth, Like my book is soaked, Like

136
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: I gotta fix my laptop. Happens Like oh god, no.

137
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: They were like it was like funny listening him talk

138
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: about it. I think you told me too, Like watching

139
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: on TV. Gary was saying the same thing. And the

140
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: video of Justin Turner, who if you guys haven't seen it,

141
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: look it up just like wading through through the tunnel

142
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: in the clubhouse. I'm like wow, And like you get

143
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: the charm of Famway Park, and I guess you also

144
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: have to deal with some consequences of that. But it

145
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: did look like the weather did affect Sanga a lot,

146
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: like he hasn't pitched very much weather in his life.

147
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 4: Isn't like every almost at least every stadium in Japan

148
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: have a dome, and he was looked like he had

149
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: a lot of trouble gripping certain pitches. We know the

150
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 4: ghost fork is like a grip laden pitch, but the

151
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 4: slither especially, he was throwing a lot more than he

152
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: had in the last couple of starts, and he would

153
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 4: hang in a bunch of them. Early he was still

154
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: missing bats. The fastball has still had the zip and

155
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 4: the ghost fork still got a bunch of whiffs, but

156
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: it just looked like he didn't really have any touch

157
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 4: or feel. And again he's been like, if is there

158
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 4: anything that code I sang has been inconsistent with his

159
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: first year with the Mets. It has been those breaking balls,

160
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: and we just looked like he couldn't really grip that

161
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: slider but still use the color a lot. The thing

162
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 4: was pitching well, and he did like he was pitching

163
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 4: better when the game got suspended, like he started off

164
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 4: poorly and then he round it into form. And the

165
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: suspension of the game I felt like put the Mets

166
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: bullpen at a pretty significant disadvantage for the series because

167
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: now like having to basically do a double Heather that year,

168
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: you have a five inning game and Grand Heartwig is

169
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: starting it, You're like and him playing the game that

170
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 4: night you're like, oh God, there's not much left in

171
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: this bullpen now for these next couple of days.

172
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, big shout out to Grant Heartwig gave

173
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: a great easy two innings, a role that he's now

174
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: been successful somewhat in a couple different times now where

175
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: you know, maybe we don't try to get three an

176
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: ens out of the guy, but when he goes like

177
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: one or two innings, he does pretty pretty well. Like

178
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: he's had a nice little year. Again, this would be

179
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: one of the few times a shout out John, but

180
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: John's been on the hertwig train forever and I've been

181
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: pleasantly surprised at how well he's been pitching this year.

182
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: I mean, bottom line of Heartwig.

183
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 4: The sweeper is really really legit, Like he's using that

184
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 4: sweeper sinker off each other in the color like it's

185
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 4: and he throws it's got like he does ninety five

186
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: ninety six, Like that's above average lossy with one really

187
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: good breaking ball like that is a good toolbox as

188
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: a star. They're set for being a successful major league

189
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: believer and he is. And it was just weird that

190
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: again this game happening in the middle of the day,

191
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: like all the awful weather night before, and it was

192
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: like nice and brighton sunny when it came back. And

193
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: then it was a bit of an obscure even like

194
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 4: five innings of a game. Baity got the RBI infield

195
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: single to give us the lead that would not be relinquished. Ever,

196
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: even though they get tight to get closer, your time

197
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: got a little scary. Yeah, and we had so many

198
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: chances to add on, which is again just something that's

199
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: like so like it's like horribly so consistent about this

200
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: team this year. We get the basis of nobody out

201
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: and like somehow like you can't get one in and

202
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: again like it was Baby's been swinging the bat well,

203
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 4: Francisco Alres be incredibly clutching his rookie season, and Bait

204
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: Alvarez popped out and Baby had double play, and then

205
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: that was the eighth thing. Then the ninth inning, DJ

206
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: Stewart eight nine guys got on to lead off the

207
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 4: inning and then what pop Toppy Rover was up and we

208
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: couldn't do anything past there. Again, it was just like oh,

209
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: like not that getting the insurance ron was scary, but

210
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: Rally and Robertson, who have been both incredible relievers this season.

211
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: They both did really well and they slammed the door

212
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: and it got that win.

213
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: It felt like, all right, there were some vibes here,

214
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: but those vibes like kind of went away a little

215
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: bit at the end of the game when those rallies

216
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: could not be sustained.

217
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: You couldn't really like step on a throat.

218
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it puts a weird like dampener on a very

219
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: good team win because it's like, man, it could have

220
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: been a lot easier, a lot, a lot more blown

221
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: out of the water, could have almost relaxed a little

222
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: bit more of those last few innings got tight because

223
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: the Mets couldn't get those last few runs. But yeah,

224
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: I mean, like the doubleheader. Two double headers are always weird,

225
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: especially with the suspended game. Like you said, having to

226
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: use the bullpen again and on the same day, never

227
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: helpful for us. And we also know a shures are too.

228
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: He's like very much creature of habit with like how

229
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: he warms up, how he does this stuff. Having a

230
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: game right before he warmed up looks like it might

231
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 2: have had a little bit of an effect on him,

232
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: Like he just wasn't very good for lack of.

233
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: A better term, yeah, something or another.

234
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: It's just the story with Scherzer has been this for

235
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: a couple of these bad starts now this year, especially

236
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: when he's given up the home runs, and it's just

237
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 4: that it's just that Slyther, that slider command isn't where

238
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: it was even likest year, and the starts where he's

239
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: been good this year and he is throwing it less.

240
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: He only threw about fifty percent of the time in

241
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: this game. But I have I'm gonna send these pictures

242
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: to VI those side by side to the people watching

243
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 4: on YouTube of where his slide, like the slider heat

244
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: map from last year compared to this year, and it's

245
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: just so many more blood over the plate, so many

246
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: more have been too far out of strikes and when

247
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: you're not getting the swinging mess where it doesn't look

248
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: close enough like it was so tight last year and

249
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: that lower low and away corner to the righties and

250
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: this year is just like a little bit more spread

251
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 4: that a little ball over the place, not finding the

252
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 4: spot and just too many over the plate. And it's

253
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 4: been that way all year. This was also a game

254
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 4: where the Red Sox power.

255
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: Got to Scherzer.

256
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: He allowed four home runs the lead off to Jaron

257
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: Duran and Tristan Costs for two when Yu Chang in

258
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 4: the middle of those Costs bombs that tied his career

259
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: high for home runs allowed with four. That's the first

260
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: time he's allowed four home runs and it starts in

261
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: April twenty twenty one, and the first time he ever

262
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: did that, just looking up a funny using stadhead before

263
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: was in twenty eleven as a member of the Tigers

264
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: in Yankee Stadium. The four players who hit those home

265
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: runs against yours are the first time he gave it

266
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: four home runs in the game were Mark Tshera, a

267
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: young Robinson Cano, and two by Joe Pisada. That was yeah,

268
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 4: Aron g Either were prominent members of that team. Like,

269
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 4: that's how long ago the first time mac sure has

270
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 4: a game four home runs in the game though, But

271
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 4: it was just like because he gave the two home

272
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 4: runs early and he settled in and then the end

273
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 4: he got out of a lot of control and then

274
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 4: Trevor gotd did no favorites either, But it was just

275
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: it's not oh, it's just it's just not there. And

276
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: that's always been the pitch that he's leaned on.

277
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 5: His career.

278
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 4: It's been one of the best livers that any of

279
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: us are ever going to see in our lifetimes. And

280
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 4: when it's not there and it's not getting the same

281
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: rate of swings and misses gotten in the past, you

282
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 4: just kind of feel that the whole repertoire takes a

283
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 4: big hit.

284
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he spoke about it after the game too.

285
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: He was asking a lot of questions after the game,

286
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about a few of those a little

287
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: bit later, but he was talking about his slider. He

288
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I just had no feel again, I

289
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: couldn't get it like they were hanging it. He was like,

290
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: I had some good ones, he was like, but man

291
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: like kind of when they were bad, they were crushed.

292
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: And just to talk about some of the Red Sox

293
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 2: players quickly a little bit here, Tristan Cossas starting to

294
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: look like a ballplayer, starting to get a little comfortable.

295
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: It's kind of just a big sign of what to

296
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: do with these rookie players who come up with all

297
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: this hype, because Cossas was a very, very highly touted

298
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: prospect in the Red Sox forum system. Hits the ball hard,

299
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: plays good defense at first, gets on base like all

300
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: the things that you like to hear, and he had

301
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: a really, really tough go of it the first few

302
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: months in the Major League baseball this past year. But

303
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: since I want to say, like the beginning of July,

304
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: he's been swinging the bat a heck of a lot better.

305
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: Saw him have a pretty huge series against the Mets. Honestly,

306
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: at a really good performance, his OPS is creeping up

307
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: around eight hundred. Jaron Durant to another guy, who you

308
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: just start to get these guys more consistent playing time,

309
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 2: who have the talent, who have the ability, and they

310
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: start to show and start to see the things that

311
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 2: make them look so great. So again, this is always

312
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: just like a little bit of a warning, I guess

313
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: to Mets fans. I don't know if that's the right word,

314
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: but like, hey, these young players take time. It is

315
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: very very rare when you get a Wan Soto, a

316
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: Fernando Tatist like those players are once in a lifetime.

317
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: Even Mike Trout had a horrendous first season when he

318
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: got called up. Sometimes you got to give them a

319
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: little bit time. And like even baby, like you said,

320
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: who has been struggling a little bit, has been swinging

321
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: the bat a lot better of late, been looking a

322
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: lot more comfortable as well.

323
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: Definitely, Aaron Judge even had a really bad first year

324
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: in the major leagues. I think we've all I think

325
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: we I think we've all been cursed by just playing

326
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 4: too much MLB the show, like a lot of us have,

327
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 4: and like any video games in general, we were like, oh, yeah,

328
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: development is linear. Every year I get two overall points.

329
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: I had one point to Powers like that's that's not

330
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: really how professional sports works. And you got it's like

331
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 4: we talked about this the other day too, or even

332
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 4: earlier today, yesterday, I don't remember talking about TJ. Abrams,

333
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: a guy who has been a bit of the Mets

334
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: killer was involved in the Wan Sogo trade last summer,

335
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: who has all the physical tools was it came straight

336
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: from high school to professional baseball and had injury lost

337
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: some time in the year, and like had only played

338
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 4: like less than one hundred games in the Upper miners

339
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 4: before even getting his first major league play the appearance,

340
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: and it just it takes time with these guys a

341
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 4: lot like even like remember last year, that first year

342
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 4: is that Francisco Oliver has played against Atlanta Breves. How

343
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 4: much people were freaking out that like he wasn't good,

344
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 4: he was gonna be a bust, he wasn't ready, and

345
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 4: just like like that's not how this works, Like you

346
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 4: got everyone can be good right away, and I think Cassas,

347
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 4: Duran Abrams and it soon like babies, all these are

348
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: all going to be way, like these are all gonna

349
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: be things that we see and I thought I loved way.

350
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: I think the ESPN Sunday Night broadcast definitely has a

351
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 4: lot to be desired sometimes, but I do like that

352
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: that they just like Oneo Perez.

353
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: And David Cone just are so knowledgeable of the game.

354
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: And they were talking to Alex Cora and they talked

355
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 4: about Cossas particularly, and Cora is like he's just I

356
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: was never worried, Like he's so prepared, he's mentally he's

357
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 4: so like there, he's so focused every single day, like

358
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: you never let the struggles get to him.

359
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 3: Like he did lose some playing time and you got

360
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: it got better right after that.

361
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: But like when you see the process and you see

362
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: the preparation, you can you can still have your confidence.

363
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: That's kind of like still where I'm at with a lot

364
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: of these Mets rookies and we know a lot of

365
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: people have also spoken about the Into's like now coming

366
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 4: back this weekend, how his his his first couple of

367
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: coffee here. The stats aren't really tremendous, but we still

368
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: see him hit the ball really really hard when he

369
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 4: does hilariously in this game too, the Saturday night game,

370
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 4: Fianto's had two hits and no hard hit balls, which

371
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 4: is like just a funny little you have funny little

372
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 4: irony there. But just these way these prospects develop is

373
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: just not like I feel like a lot of us

374
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 4: would like them to develop in a perfect world.

375
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: And that's okay, yeah, no, it's it's fine. It's it's

376
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 2: a long game. We're not in for the short term

377
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: with the prospects.

378
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: You never are.

379
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: You're in it for the long game. As long as

380
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: these guys at the end or towards the middle just

381
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: start to play like what we expect him to, things

382
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: will be things will be great. I mean, we we're

383
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 2: getting a glimpse of Alvarez, got glimpse of baby Vants

384
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: was figuring it out too. And what's funny too about

385
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: this game or just the day in general, the first

386
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: two the fact that the Mets were really starting to

387
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: hit the ball a lot better, like McNeil's swinging the

388
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: bat a lot better.

389
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: Pete.

390
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 2: Pete looks just so much better, so much better. Looks

391
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: like his head's been cleared a little bit. We still

392
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: haven't seen like the home run, the power type stuff

393
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: just yet, but Pete's getting hits again, which is like

394
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: pretty huge for a guy who, let's be honest, has

395
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: been struggling for like two months now. So it's good

396
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: to see that the guys in the middle of this

397
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: order are swinging the bat a little bit better. And

398
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: you mentioned even Viento's getting a couple of hits, like.

399
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: McNeil was smiling.

400
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: McNeil's cracked a smile during this game, even tweet on

401
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: like Jeff McNeil's having fun playing baseball, like something's going on,

402
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: something's cooking. Even with the vibes of like man the

403
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: leads being given up, taken back, giving up taken back,

404
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: it felt like this team just wasn't gonna give up.

405
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: And to their credit, even to the last out, they

406
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: were very much in this game, keeping themselves in it

407
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: with the bats.

408
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jeff McNeil with the the Litle League home run

409
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 4: was was a very fun moment, like that's always good,

410
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 4: that's always gonna be crack a smile, like anyone hear

411
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: in a slump. But you hit litle league home run.

412
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: I think Fenway Park also no stats on this. John

413
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: John hasn't joined us yet. Fenway Park has to lead

414
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: the league in litle league home runs over the last

415
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: like five or seven seasons. We even saw Pete get

416
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: a triple in this game. Yeah, seventh of Pete's career,

417
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 4: and he's lumbering around second base. I look back at

418
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 4: that because I was like, that's kind of a lot

419
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: of triples for a guy who's many home runs as Pete.

420
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: And since Pete came up in twenty nineteen, there's only

421
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: two players in baseball with one hundred and fifty homers

422
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: and five triples. It's Pete and ridiculously Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber,

423
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 4: yeah right. And the only other guys who were at

424
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: that level of home runs and even just like the

425
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: standing a lot of triples are basically like Show and.

426
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: Jose Aramuirs and Mooki Betts.

427
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the best players of baseball.

428
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: And I was even looking back at two because I

429
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: was just looking at the stats from twenty nineteen. Pete

430
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: is like twenty home runs clear of the field for

431
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 4: home runs since he debuted, which is just, you know,

432
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 4: a cool little thing to keep let everyone remind like

433
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: how historically great at the beginning of his career has

434
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 4: been despite the poor couple of months. And got to

435
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 4: see Josh Walker in this game again as well. He

436
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 4: was a twenty seventh man for the double heather just

437
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: during ninety six on the left side got the hair

438
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: flown out the back.

439
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: I like Josh Walker.

440
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: I think there's we don't know what these ax few

441
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: weeks are gonna look like with this roster. There's a

442
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 4: good chance that some players get more different opportunities than

443
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: they would have gotten in the first half of the

444
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 4: season or probably.

445
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: The way we expect it to go one opening day.

446
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: And I think Josh Walker is a guy who probably

447
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 4: will get some legitimate run, could get some legitimate run

448
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: in the bullpen if things do get chicken up.

449
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really hope so, because every time he comes in,

450
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: I feel like he pitches so well, and we haven't

451
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: seen him since that Phillies blow up, which is gonna happen.

452
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: It was eighth inning against the Phillies who top of

453
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: the order, is like, really good, it's gonna happen. But

454
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: I was glad to see him back out there pitching. Well,

455
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: hope like kind of like you hopefully they use him

456
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: a little bit more in the future here because I

457
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: think he's got some stuff and from the left side

458
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: throw ninety six.

459
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: You don't find that too often.

460
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: He's also over the top, which is very rare, I

461
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: feel like for a left hand or reliever.

462
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

463
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 4: Just he's a big, imposing figure on the mound. You

464
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: probably even think there could even be more to be

465
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: unlocked there velocity wise.

466
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: But really good to see.

467
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 4: Also, just yeah, this pointing game was again pulling any

468
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 4: positives mentioned Brett Bay swinging to the bad beat.

469
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: There're three more hard hit balls in this game. Really

470
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: looks like he is getting it together.

471
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: Were we were looking at Bathy because we were just

472
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 4: content brain was moving on on Friday. And if you

473
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 4: look at like his spray chart on Baseball savon the

474
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 4: home runs that he's hit, it hasn't been many this year,

475
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: and that's probably one of the biggest disappointing things about

476
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: his game this year. But the ones that he has

477
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: hit are absolutely freaking crushed like that. That's like a

478
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 4: cool thing to hang your hat on. That's how you

479
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 4: know the power is real. Despite the fact that he

480
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 4: is hitting the ball on the ground a lot like,

481
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: he's still battling it like a little lesson league average,

482
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 4: but not oh actually athleage average. He's Bartrot raising athleague average.

483
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 4: That's it's very good thing to see. And he's not chasing.

484
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: It's a good thing. There's a lot of stuff happening

485
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 4: there and does not that many guys in the league

486
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: can hit the ball as hard as Baby, as consistently

487
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 4: as he does.

488
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean really, at the end of the day,

489
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: what happened in this game was pitching just couldn't shut

490
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: the door. It's a it's a narrative that we've heard

491
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: kind of all season long. The pitching just was not

492
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: up to snuff. When we when we hit, we don't pitch.

493
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: When we pitched, we don't hit. That's kind of just

494
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: been the way that things have broke this year. That's

495
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: kind of how Game two was. You would have hoped

496
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: for better, but I mean, we're pulling the positives out

497
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: of here. You guys know how we roll over on

498
00:17:58,760 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: the messed up podcast.

499
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: It sucks. It sucks though, to lose that game, no doubt.

500
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially winning earlier in the day and like having

501
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 4: having shows there as the guy for the next one,

502
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: you're like, all right, let's go, let's get in a roll,

503
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 4: let's win, let's win something here.

504
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: But it wasn't. And then game three Sunday night again ESPN.

505
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 4: He just me, he said, which you want about the

506
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 4: ESPN broadcast, at least it's not at least not k

507
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 4: rod where the guy Giant Dames Helling anecdotes about kid Rock,

508
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 4: which is honestly probably like the highlight of what they

509
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 4: could do on that. I heard an antidote about kid

510
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 4: Rock recently as well. I was that I told you guys,

511
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: was at that bachelor party in Las Vegas a few

512
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 4: weeks ago.

513
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: It was just awful.

514
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 4: Another apology for that. But my freaking hotel at no

515
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: WiFi is I can't I can't even believe that. But

516
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 4: someone who I was with the bachel party, dude who

517
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 4: I only met like a time or two, he said

518
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 4: he was at a bar. I want to say it

519
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 4: was Florida, it was Tennessee. It was a place where

520
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 4: you'd expect Kid Rock to be Yeah, and just met

521
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 4: Kid Rock at the bar and he said they hung

522
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: out for like four hours.

523
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: He drank with Kid Rock all day and night.

524
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 4: I was like, that's incredible, Like Kid Rock is never

525
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: someone i'd like seek out and be like, yeah, I

526
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 4: want to, I would.

527
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: Like to hang out with Kid Rock.

528
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: He's definitely not He's definitely not like a very I

529
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 4: don't know, he's not figuring out.

530
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 3: He's not like my dream dinner date. Yeah, no, it's not.

531
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 4: It's not like, yeah, Abraham Lincoln, Prince Kid Rock, Like,

532
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 4: that's not who's coming to dinner with me if I

533
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 4: can get anyone from history. But it was it's funny

534
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 4: to hear people just Giant Damn to you talk about

535
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 4: Kid Rock. I feel like Giant Daman Kid Rock are

536
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: two pieces in the pot. This game a very frustrating

537
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: early because Carlos Carrasco there was a there was a

538
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 4: ball that looked like it could have been called a

539
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 4: strike and it would have got Hi out of the

540
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 4: first inning, and then it wasn't called a strike and

541
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 4: he wound up laboring about twenty pitches through there, allowed

542
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: to run and just seemed like he was kind of

543
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 4: off kilter, and then he ran a play to cover

544
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 4: third on a on a ball where Jaron Duran was

545
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 4: on first. Grepe threw the ball at first, there was

546
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 4: no one covering third base, Carrasco ran to cover it,

547
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 4: and Duran kind of like hit him in the shoulder

548
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: a little bit, like knocked him back, and it looked

549
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: something just wasn't really right from that point on, and

550
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: now the rest of that third inning was just I

551
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 4: think that actually happened the second and then the third

552
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 4: inning came and it was a complete other, just disaster,

553
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 4: one of the worst mess innings of the year. Reds

554
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 4: like I had seven consecutive hits, which I feel like

555
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 4: you'll never see that in modern baseball anymore. Another thing

556
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 4: that probably happens exclusively at Faenway Park because of how

557
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 4: ridiculous babbits are there. But they were just hitting it

558
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 4: really hard, not at people, and then they just kept

559
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 4: getting hits, kept getting hits, and it was a short

560
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 4: night for Carrasco.

561
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of ground balls.

562
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't like the ball was being crushed in the air,

563
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 2: just like hit hard into the ground where the Mets weren't.

564
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: Carrasco just didn't have his best stuff. I mean, we've

565
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: seen it. He's been very hot and cold this year

566
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 2: on how his performances. It's kind of just a day

567
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: to day thing. Today was one of those days that

568
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: we just didn't get it. He also had that weird

569
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: play like you mentioned too, where I think Buck even

570
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: mentioned afterwards I thought he rolled his ankle a little

571
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: bit maybe where Jaran Duran slid into third. Shouts to

572
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: Marcana making great plays all day. He also picked off

573
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: Rafael Devers on that back pick to third Grant. It

574
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: made no difference because the game was pretty much out

575
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: of hand, but that was a great play.

576
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 4: And he had that amazing throw in this third inning

577
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: of chaos from the monster the second base on a

578
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 4: fly almost got justin turned around what looked like a

579
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 4: short double. Again, had three outfield sist in this game.

580
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 4: They all happened in the first six innings. First met

581
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: that three outfield assists in a game since Andy Chavez

582
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 4: in June two thousand and six. That's that chrissy of

583
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 4: Sarah Lank because I still missing John over here.

584
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: But those balls by Carasco.

585
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 4: Let him play were on the ground, but they were smoked.

586
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: But the red Sox hit put thirteen balls and play

587
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: against him. Eleven of thirteen or over ninety miles an hour,

588
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: Nine of thirteen were over ninety five miles an hour,

589
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 4: and seven of the thirteen or over one hundred miles

590
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: an hour.

591
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: So they're just going to get so mad at us

592
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: because we talk about how much we hate ground balls

593
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: all the time, and then it's like with the Red

594
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: Sox one with ground balls, as I guess, but they

595
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: hit them really hard.

596
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: That's definite.

597
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll let you always hit the ground ball. Y

598
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 4: Kyle Body, who's I think he's the founder. There's the

599
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 4: drive line, or at least whether he had head pitching

600
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 4: coordinated for a while. He went to the Reds for

601
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 4: a few years to lead their player in pitching development,

602
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 4: and the Reds took all his ideas and fired him, which

603
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: is a really fascinating thing that the Reds did. Why

604
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: they're so good right now. But he like posted a

605
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 4: really interesting question on Twitter, really cool thread from a

606
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 4: couple of years ago, basically like would you rather get

607
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: a whiff or a ground ball if like you had

608
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: to get to like like if you had to pick one?

609
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: And he interestingly and I think this probably came from

610
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: him building a team that was going to be playing

611
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: in the Great American Ballpark, which is one of the

612
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 4: friendliest heather parks in the league, especially for home runs.

613
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 4: He's basically like a ground ball, like, no matter what,

614
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 4: it really can't hurt that badly. There's also the shift

615
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 4: shift days, so it's a little different. Ground Balls are

616
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 4: even more more valuable than to get as a pitcher.

617
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 4: But just like the fact that you get a ground ball, like,

618
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 4: what's what's the best that can happen. It's a perfect

619
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 4: ground ball, maybe a double, like if you get the

620
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 4: whif you're giving the guy another another pitch and maybe

621
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 4: hit the home run, you know what I mean? Like,

622
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 4: if you get a ground ball every single time we're

623
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 4: out there, you're probably gonna do really well. We've seen

624
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: fran Arvaldees give run like the sixty percent ground ball

625
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 4: race for years and turn himself into an elite pitcher.

626
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 4: But it's now what happened for Crasco in this game.

627
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 4: The Red Sox were all over him. Sneaky, sneaky deep

628
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 4: line up over there in Boston too, they sneaky. Yeah,

629
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 4: I'm bloom has built a really annoying weird, like silly

630
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 4: team over here. Competitive yeah, competitive, crafty, like Justin Turner

631
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 4: looking like you have one of the best seasons of

632
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 4: his career, which you always feel this every single time

633
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: the Mets play against Justin Turner. Happened for years the Dodgers.

634
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 4: Now it happens here where Buster only grins. He's like

635
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 4: you judge DFA by the Mets, and he's like, we know, Buster,

636
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: We're really aware of it.

637
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: He wasn't that player with us. He was never that player.

638
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 3: He became that player with the Dodgers. Dodgers you have

639
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: getting a one twenty five WRC, plus that Jason Hayward

640
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 3: right now. They know how to and things, but hitting

641
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 3: that no one else does. David Peralta is having an

642
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: incredible season right now for the Dodgers. Thompson the is

643
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: almosting three hundred. I think it's like two eighty eight

644
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: as of play beginning today. So they do things with

645
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: hitters that no one else can really figure out. And

646
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: it's not like I always should figure it out. No

647
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: one else figure it out twenty one other teams, like

648
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: how do the Dodge You get this out of these hitters?

649
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 3: Every single year they have this band of like like

650
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: they let Cody Bellinger go. Any other team letting Cody.

651
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,239
Speaker 4: Bellinger go before he had this massive breakout, people be like, oh,

652
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: this is ridiculous, Dodge, you don't even know it. Because

653
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 4: Jason Hayward's like filling in his absence looks great, like

654
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 4: they're gonna get good offense time Miguil Rojas before you know,

655
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 4: and your boy.

656
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: But you always, you always get.

657
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 4: That like little twinge of it whenever whenever the Mets

658
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: play against Justin Turner, you always feel that pit in

659
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: your stomach where you're like, damn, if he was playing

660
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 4: third base in the mess the last ten years, this

661
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 4: really could have been a lot different. And he's he's

662
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 4: gonna have a hundred RBIs thirty eight years old. Oh

663
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 4: my god, it's just this thing. But it's funny with

664
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: that team is I think there's a lot of Red

665
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: Sox fans who are probably still a little bit trepidacious

666
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: to trusting him Bloom because the Mookie Bets trade definitely

667
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 4: will still go down as Yeah, it's where they're still

668
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 4: go is gonna go down even as goes. Alex Radugo

669
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: has been filling in admirably, like Mookie Bets looks like

670
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 4: he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame, so it

671
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 4: doesn't really fa Yeah, like when he's like one fourth

672
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 4: of Moviie Bets, maybe, like I think in terms of

673
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 4: War I probably like probably like like thirty percent of

674
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: Mookie Bets. But the locked up devers and it was

675
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 4: fun also to listen. I think I always think it's

676
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 4: crazy that they'll mike these guys up during plays. Yes,

677
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: but they agree to it, so I guess it's okay.

678
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: And it was. It was crazy, Like listen to him talk.

679
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 3: He's like, he seems so fun. They were like with

680
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: your relationship, like with Alex Korra, he was like, it's

681
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: my dad.

682
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: He was talking talking about the contract negotiation and he

683
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: was like or they talked about it off camera maybe

684
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: and War I was like, yeah, he told me that.

685
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: Like Alex Korra was like, don't don't sell yourself out.

686
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 2: Don't give him the eyes when they sit put three

687
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars in front of you, like act cool,

688
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: act tough, be like, oh that's nothing I need more.

689
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 2: He's like, don't be like, oh my god, this is

690
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: the most money I've ever seen.

691
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: Thank you.

692
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: So much Like, that's definitely one really cool thing that'said

693
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: the night Baseball does is getting these players miked up

694
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: talking during the game live.

695
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: It's a good way to grow baseball.

696
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 2: I mean, just think about all the different things that

697
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: you've remembered from the guys talking throughout the years, Like

698
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: you start to learn about some personalities of these players.

699
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 2: Even Rafield Evers doesn't speak like a lack of English,

700
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: basically none at all, But like that was a great

701
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: interview that he had, Like, that's something I'll remember. I

702
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: always love when the Mets guys gets miked up too.

703
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, cal Rabbits tried to speak to him in Spanish

704
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 3: and he was like, what would you say.

705
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 5: That?

706
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that was the alex Core question. But

707
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: again another another disappointing series loss for the Mets. He

708
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 4: felt like they could have like really kept getting some

709
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 4: momentum after coming out like after the White Sox series

710
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 4: and heading into the break as how as they were

711
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 4: where He's just.

712
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 3: Like so close and just couldn't get it.

713
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 4: And it's like that's kind of just been the theme

714
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 4: of the season over and over again, and we know

715
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen next week.

716
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 3: We have no idea. We only hope to find out

717
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 3: and that's just the same spot as you guys there.

718
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: No I mean truthfully, like we know absolutely nothing. Obviously,

719
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 2: we just do the podcast for the team. But like

720
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: the Mets right now were seven and a half back

721
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: from the wild card. The trade deadline is what a

722
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: we away, right It'll be.

723
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: August first, yes, so it'll.

724
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: Be a week away when you guys listen to this.

725
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: The Mets have to start like winning games right now

726
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 2: because they're in a very weird spot of whether they're

727
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 2: gonna buy or they're gonna sell, or they're gonna hold

728
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 2: pat or whatever it's gonna be.

729
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: We're not sure. We're not sure. You kind of can't

730
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: make that decision.

731
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: It feels like, just yet, you don't want to give

732
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: up on a season and start making moves for guys

733
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: and start thinking about the next year because they're not

734
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: completely out of it. Of course, not seven and a

735
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: half games with like seventy games left in the season

736
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: isn't unthinkable.

737
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: You've seen teams do it before.

738
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: But the issue is, you gotta start winning games now,

739
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: and as the season is getting shorter and the deadline's approaching,

740
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: this team could look different on the field next week.

741
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: Next week even could look at a different team. So something,

742
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: keep in mind, something, keep an eye out for here

743
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 2: as we have these last two series before the deadline hits,

744
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Nationals coming up. Luckily, the Yankees

745
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: have not been playing good baseball of recent They have

746
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: been big time struggling. They just swept the Royals, but

747
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: that's like not an accomplishment because Loki have a worse

748
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: record than the A's. Nobody's talking about that. Everyone said

749
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: the A's are the worst team in baseball. No one's

750
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: talking about how bad the Royals are. But the Yankees

751
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: haven't been playing good baseball. In the Nationals, we know,

752
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 2: only like five games back in the Nets, but it's

753
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: not like a team that.

754
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: Instills fear in your hearts by any means.

755
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: I'm also kind of kind of pausing a little bit

756
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: here because as John has, John joined us, can we

757
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: do the estimate?

758
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: Where's John not here yet?

759
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: Because I have no clue how many balls were hit

760
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 2: off the Green Monster to be honest, and John texted

761
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: us thinking we would.

762
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: Have a clue.

763
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely won Francisco Lindor Sunday night. I watched

764
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 3: that one. I saw that go, but I don't know this,

765
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: I guess And.

766
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: Speaking of which I mean, might as well talk about

767
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: this Yankees preview as well. Subway series last two games

768
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 2: of the year at Yankee Stadium. Tickets are pretty cheap

769
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: because the Yankees nobody wants to go. The other fans

770
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: are a little soft. So if you're looking to go

771
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 2: to the game as a Mets fan, you can get

772
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: a pretty decent c for pretty cheap right now. So

773
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: I'd suggest you go check out the secondary market maybe

774
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 2: and go see what's available for you. What are the

775
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: pitching matchups for this series? I truly have no idea,

776
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: uh the pitching matchups. Tuesday seven o'clock TBS game, So

777
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: get ready for that one, guys, little sneaky one justin

778
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: Verland versus Domingo Herman and then Wednesday, also seven oh five,

779
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 2: Jose Kintana versus Carlos Rodon.

780
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: To awesose acquisitions.

781
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: Jose Kintana versus Carlos Rodin. Rodon has not looked great. Well,

782
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: he didn't look great, especially in his last start when

783
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: he blew kisses to the Yankees fans who were booing him.

784
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: It's not a good way to get intereared with the

785
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: Yankees fans.

786
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: No, the Yankees fans are they they they? Yeah, they

787
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 3: are animo.

788
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: They they bullied Joey Gallo out of the city like

789
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 4: they're They're not They're not ones to drifle with.

790
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 3: They're They're a terrifying bunch. So that was interesting move,

791
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: ver Don. We also know the Rodin's a bit of

792
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: a showman, and we also do know still that Rodin

793
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: is an incredible pitcher and I know that he will

794
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: round into form because he is especially like pure talon wise,

795
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: he's the one. He's one of the best there is.

796
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, the Yankee team has definitely had not so

797
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 4: good of a couple of months here since Aaron Judge

798
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 4: went in the il that happened. That injury was sustained

799
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 4: on June third, So since June fourth, they have the

800
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: second fewest run score in all of baseball. The only

801
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: team with fewer are the Kansas City Royals. Like that's

802
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: where the Yankees offense been right now. They basically but

803
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: their pitching is still great. They're one of the best

804
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 4: ballpenierre raised in the league. And the rotation is it's

805
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 4: it's good and it's it's like has solid depth, Like

806
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: Herman has had a good year objectively. The perfect game

807
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: was was weird, and he's just like a really really

808
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 4: horrific person, but he is. He has had like an

809
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 4: okay season. Actually four to five y 's a little bit

810
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: higher than I thought. But he did that thing that

811
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 4: a lot of pitchers are doing now where he's like,

812
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 4: I'm just getting my curve balls my best pitch. I'm

813
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: gonna making my primary pitch. I don't really care about

814
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 4: anything else anymore. So he's gonna be pesky and annoying

815
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 4: just dropping curveballs in all day.

816
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 3: They're pretty good. And again Rodn it hasn't started off great,

817
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: but we know he is still good. And again this lineup.

818
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: Anthony Rizzo was his first home run forty something games on Sunday.

819
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 4: Each is having a not so good season. Clabor Tors

820
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 4: was day to day. I'm not sure if we're gonna

821
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 4: see him. Maybe the day off will probably get back. Yeah,

822
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: they lack a lot of punch without Judge and I

823
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: and we're we don't care about drinking an think anymore.

824
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 4: Yanks WI probably go out to score fourteen runs against US,

825
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: but it's really they that offense. I'm a belieguer, and

826
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 4: we have an opportunity for Lander Kintana too. Starting pitchers,

827
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 4: but at least have good a lot of success lately.

828
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 4: Gatson only want to start, but he did look good

829
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 4: just to get get uh, get out ahead of them.

830
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: Yankees have one player on their active roster right now

831
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: with an ops plus above a hundred.

832
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: Who is a James.

833
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 3: Jake Bowers.

834
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: No, he's hurt, he's on the IL. The answer we're

835
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: looking for is Glaber Torres with one to eleven. Otherwise,

836
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: every other hitter on that team has an ops plus

837
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: below league average. Like, this is not the same Yankees

838
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: teams that you're accustomed to. I talk to you about

839
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: this in the offseason because I was big the Yankees

840
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: aren't as good as you thought they might have been.

841
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: But I was like, if Judge is not in that lineup,

842
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: they have nothing. They've got nothing going on. Like John

843
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: Carlos Stanton is a husk of himself. He's not even

844
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: a shell.

845
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: He's a husk.

846
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: He looks he looks like he's in pain while he's moving.

847
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: Every single time he moves, it's like, oh my god,

848
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: I'm in so much excruciating pain and maybe he is,

849
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: which tipped your cap to him if he's playing in pain.

850
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: Volpi I think is like the bright spot because he

851
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: has been playing better, especially in the second half, and

852
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: he's at least a young, exciting player on this team.

853
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: But like you look around the field and you just go, yeah,

854
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: I just like don't care about any of these guys

855
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: and they're not really important at all.

856
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 4: And they're also a division that is the most competitive

857
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: we've seen in baseball in a really long time. A

858
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 4: big part of that is also because of how they

859
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 4: change the schedule, which I'm sure every single team and

860
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 4: that division is really grateful for because all five teams

861
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 4: are five hundred. But it's a fun, vibrant division. The

862
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 4: Oriols are the best story. Like in sports, the Rays.

863
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 4: We know about the Rays. The Blue Jays is having

864
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 4: a good year. We just watched the Red Sox. Is

865
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 4: these plucky underdogs up in Boston. This Yankee team just

866
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: lacks that that power. Like the only thing that's really

867
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 4: cool about this Yankee team is, in fact, the bullpen

868
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 4: is a lot of fun, is really exciting. Like Michael

869
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: King's taking a little bit of step back. He's still

870
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 4: really really good reliever. We're not gonna see Ian Hamilton.

871
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: He's on the IL.

872
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 4: But he invented his own pitch, the slambio, which is

873
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 4: a really cool thing a slider and a change up together.

874
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: And he's Spanish. I was like from Spain, I believe.

875
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: So he took the word combio for change and put

876
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 3: that slambio. Clay Holmes has gotten back to having a

877
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 3: good run of it. Jimmy Cordero's go cut. That that

878
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: cut that I forgot about him. It's a good interesting team.

879
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: It's they're funny there. It's a really it's really bizarre.

880
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 4: The Yankees team is now built on like strong bullpen,

881
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 4: like starting pitching at the top, and they just can't

882
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 4: manufacture offense any which way. Yeah, I mean, listen, like

883
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 4: this this series the Mets got, the Mets have to

884
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 4: win two games. I think, like I think they got

885
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 4: to come out win two games for things to be

886
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 4: feeling positive. It's just that these are do or die

887
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 4: games right now for how this team could look after

888
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 4: the trade deadline. If you want to be competing for

889
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 4: a wildcard spot, which is what they're doing right now,

890
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: gotta win.

891
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: The Yankees are a very, very beatable team. Can't stress

892
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: that enough. Get out early, swing the bats like they

893
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: did in Boston outside of Game three, they swung the

894
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: bats well.

895
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: Just keep doing it. Play good baseball. Should be okay,

896
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: should be okay. Now.

897
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: I did go to Twitter want to get some mailbag

898
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: for you guys too, just because I figured it was

899
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: gonna be a little bit of a quicker episode. A

900
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: couple of questions here from guys. This one comes from

901
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: Pat Stats. He has one baseball question, one non baseball question,

902
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: hones honest and pitching of honest opinion of Mets pitching

903
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: this year I and he kind of said it, he

904
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: was like, inconsistent.

905
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what it is.

906
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: We've been able to see the peaks, like Max Scherzer

907
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: has had great starts justin Berlin, Carlos Grafsco. You could

908
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: go to every single picture in this rotation, you go

909
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: to every middle reliever, set up man, closer. They've had

910
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 2: these big moments where you're like, there it is. But

911
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: the consistency over the year just really hasn't been there,

912
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 2: and that's kind of what we've been missing.

913
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 4: I feel like, right, yeah, definitely, especially compared to the

914
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: last year, like we're beating the drum over and over again.

915
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 4: But just like having Bassett and Taiwan Walker every fifth day,

916
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 4: like you like we have a stable floor here. These

917
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 4: guys are gonna pitch well, they're gonna give you five, six,

918
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 4: sevens once in a while, eight endings. Like having that

919
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 4: every single day, it's just such a trickle down effect

920
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 4: to help the whole team. Like your hitters feel better

921
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 4: about it because you know you're gonna start that day.

922
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 4: Your bullpen is better because they're not being used as much.

923
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 4: Like this, it all always comes back in baseball starting pitching.

924
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 4: As much as the league changes, as much as everything happens,

925
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 4: it's always come back starting pitching. The teams are always

926
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 4: at the top because they get a lot of steady

927
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 4: pitch play out of their starting pitchers and then everything

928
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 4: else works off there. And just that that has been

929
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: and we know we're watching all these games that we

930
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 4: everyone can see it. That has been the big issue

931
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 4: for the Mets this year. And it's gonna be interesting

932
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: to see how that's all unfolds. I think about twenty nineteen,

933
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 4: we were comparing the season twenty nineteen. A lot in

934
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 4: the mess up group chat there, and I remember something

935
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 4: very critical has happened twenty nineteen that did end up

936
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 4: helping this team a lot in the ensuing years. Not again,

937
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 4: twenty twenty, twenty twenty one weren't great in terms of victories,

938
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 4: but just like it just was a kind of like

939
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: shrewd move that helped put the team in a much

940
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 4: better position to building the offseason.

941
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 3: It was the acquisition of Marcus Stroman.

942
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 4: Because people are like, oh, the Mets are trading prospects,

943
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 4: were a pitcher like this, They're not even having a

944
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 4: good season right now. But just the fact that they

945
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 4: were able to grab a guy like that who was

946
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 4: under team control, who they knew, just was like stable

947
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 4: floor pitch pitch every fifth day. You can pitch every

948
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 4: fifth day, Like that's that's that. And I think that

949
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 4: it's gonna be interesting to see how these next few

950
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 4: weeks have this next a few weeks, this next ten

951
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 4: days plays out here.

952
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, next question from Pat two, what's your average bowling score?

953
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: James?

954
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: What do you think your average bowling scores? We've been

955
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: bowling a lot recently.

956
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: We haven't bowling a lot. I have a bag.

957
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 4: I had a really bad night bowling last Wednesday, but average.

958
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: I had a couple of drinks in US too, Yeah

959
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 4: it was the other is a fun place, But I

960
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 4: think average I'm.

961
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: Like probably one ten, one fifteen.

962
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's about right.

963
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, peak up in like the one like peak around

964
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 4: one fifty and then I got I got I hate

965
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 4: like one seventy five, one eighty, like once or twice

966
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 4: the last few months. And then just like those low

967
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 4: lows like once in a while, will have like a

968
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 4: ninety five game like that was that was trash.

969
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 3: Do you think there's a Yeah, I.

970
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 2: Think I'm right around one hundred. I think one hundred's

971
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 2: right where I hang. Like ninety five to like one

972
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 2: oh five is kind of my sweet spot. And I

973
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: think like my good game is like I'm pushing one

974
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: twenty one twenty five, which done a couple of times.

975
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, not not Last Wednesday at the Gutter, we

976
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: were having some fun. We were having a good time.

977
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the boy the boys were doing a creative bowling

978
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: we we did.

979
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: We did.

980
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 4: We did a game where we had to go through

981
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 4: your legs. We did the game where you went no fingers,

982
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 4: did the game only thumbs like it was left handed, Yeah,

983
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 4: let's handed, let's hand It was fun. Actually, I almost

984
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 4: broke on a hundred left handed.

985
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: That was pretty cool.

986
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 4: But that was that was That was a that was

987
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 4: that was a good then a bowling. Bowling was great

988
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 4: that once you get out there in.

989
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: Ball one hundred percent last one combination of from at

990
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 2: it's Sean Oh and Ryanan's alone. Just about some prospects

991
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: that are being slept on, maybe in the Mets organization,

992
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: or guys that we could look forward to maybe as

993
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: a sea and goes on. The obvious one is obviously

994
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: Ronnie Mauricio. I think everybody's excited for him whenever he

995
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: gets to make his debut, if that's gonna happen this

996
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: year or not. Just really good player, like hits for power,

997
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: just exciting stuff. We saw him in spring training just

998
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: hit some absolute bombs. So whenever he gets his chance,

999
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 2: it's be super excited for him. In terms of other prospects,

1000
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean just going quickly around like Jet Williams has

1001
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: been great. I don't think he's gonna make the roster

1002
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: this year, but he's.

1003
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 4: Not I think from guys who are gonna could have

1004
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 4: a chance to make the roster, this year and again.

1005
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: If guys want to learn more about the Mets prospects,

1006
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 4: definitely check out John Via the show The Future of Flushing.

1007
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 4: The crop of young pitchers who are moving through the

1008
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 4: organization right now, between Mike Vassal, Christian Scott, and Tyler Stewart,

1009
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 4: I think all have different things that make them exciting.

1010
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 4: Vassal's the highest of them all in Triple A right now.

1011
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 4: Like we now he's in Triple A. We can get

1012
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 4: like pitch scores and get you can get movement from

1013
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 4: prospects live, and then you can get you know, Sarah's

1014
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 4: has his Triple A stuff plus for Anyone's describes the

1015
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 4: athletic and Vassal stuffs greats basically the league average, which

1016
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 4: is kind of.

1017
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 3: What we expected. But the way he's grown and the way.

1018
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: He's progressed over the last few years, we know the

1019
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 4: stuff has improved a few times already, and once you

1020
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 4: see some improvement, that's usually a good indication that you

1021
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 4: could see more improvement. But I think the guys like

1022
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 4: stuff wise, I'm a little bit more excited about Scott

1023
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: and Stuart. Stuart and it has been blazing through the

1024
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 4: Mets minor leagues this year statistically is very impressive and

1025
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 4: he throws throws gas and Scott also just he keeps

1026
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: building getting better and better. Those guys are both in

1027
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: double A right now. I think those are guys who

1028
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 4: you could because you kinda there's gonna be a position

1029
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 4: where like we know how like tenuous this Mets rotation

1030
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 4: could be going forward, Like you need to almost give

1031
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 4: some of these guys a shot this year to know

1032
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: what you have and how to plan for them for

1033
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: next year. Like I count on Christian Scott for eighty innings,

1034
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 4: I count of for one hundred and forty the innings.

1035
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 3: Is he gonna be a star?

1036
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: There?

1037
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: Is?

1038
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 3: He gonna be a bulk guy?

1039
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 4: Like what what's the potential role for these guys who

1040
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 4: are already twenty three, twenty four years old going to

1041
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 4: be for the twenty twenty four Mets. And that's something

1042
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 4: I think there's a good chance that it's possible we

1043
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 4: see that this season.

1044
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Vito hitting us with a little stat here taking

1045
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 2: over for John Stuart had another start with under tour

1046
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: and run this weekend sixteen straight.

1047
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: Like that's fantastic, that's all.

1048
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 3: That's a really really.

1049
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 4: Good job and Scott's been blazing how as well. He

1050
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 4: just has a start on Ah, I guess he's due

1051
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 4: the pitch probably Monday, but he has starting on July eighteenth,

1052
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 4: where he went seven innings, struck out eight, didn't walk

1053
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 4: any like.

1054
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 3: That's that's a great game. It's a really great game.

1055
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 4: That's something that is a good it's a good chance

1056
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 4: of that now because once he gets to double A,

1057
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 4: like you're you're in the precipice in the major leagues.

1058
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 4: We've even seen some of the teams, especially because the

1059
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 4: weird rules in Triple A and the fact that the

1060
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 4: pcls play crazy altitude. That's not what the league the

1061
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 4: Mets playing, But there's a lot of teams just like

1062
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 4: skipping guys in for Triple A now just setting them

1063
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 4: right to the majors because the talent level isn't really

1064
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 4: that different, and it's just like it's weird, especially the

1065
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 4: automatic balls and strikes in Triple A and the fact

1066
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 4: that they don't do it every game, so some of

1067
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 4: your starts you'll have automatic balls and strikes and some

1068
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 4: starts you won't get.

1069
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 3: I get.

1070
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 4: I would love to hear Vassal talk about that because

1071
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 4: I've heard Ben Brown talk about that the prospect and

1072
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 4: the Cubs that was traded for David Robertson last year

1073
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 4: who went viral.

1074
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 3: He was twenty eight teams twenty eight rank prospect. But

1075
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: now with all the rehashes, he's like a clear top

1076
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 3: ten pitching prospect in baseball. But he is.

1077
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 4: He's a guy who's much more of a stuff is

1078
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 4: Vassal is going to be a command guy who just

1079
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 4: has stuff, enough stuff to get by. And he has

1080
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 4: talked about like his challenges facing like some days having

1081
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 4: to go on extrics, on some days not having it,

1082
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 4: and just these massive inconsistencies. So I bet a guy

1083
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 4: like Vassal who is gonna lean on command, could that

1084
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 4: could be a reason why he's had some not so

1085
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 4: great results in the beginning of his run.

1086
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: Triple A No.

1087
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, and honestly, like just we'll see what happens.

1088
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens as the season goes. Win some

1089
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: games here, maybe we don't have to worry about this stuff.

1090
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: I'd love to not have to worry about bringing up

1091
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: some guys here. That'd be a good sign. So John

1092
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 2: is finally here, Let's go ahead and bring in John

1093
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 2: and go ahead and do the estimate force.

1094
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: It's it's at the end. Who cares. We'll change things up.

1095
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: Get John in here.

1096
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 2: I'll always rock in the Indiana Hoosiers. Is that a

1097
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: long sleeve?

1098
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 5: It is a long sleeve. That's okay, guys, how you doing?

1099
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1100
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 5: I just came from City Field. Was enjoying a little

1101
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 5: footy Little League's Cup action between NYCFC and Atlas the

1102
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 5: League MX. So I was in air conditioning and honestly

1103
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 5: it wasn't even warm enough still, so next time, I

1104
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 5: gotta wear my Indiana sweatshirt. But definitely getting ready for

1105
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 5: college football season, you know, the listener love the CFB talk,

1106
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 5: so looking forward to that. But yeah, glad to be

1107
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 5: here with you. After a cool weekend in Boston. Fenway

1108
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 5: is always great. It's really cool to see the see

1109
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 5: the boys playing there. But now the Bronx. So I

1110
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 5: was just driving home, guys, and there was an f

1111
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 5: an caller who he was older, said he was older,

1112
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 5: And I don't know if you guys saw this. The

1113
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 5: Yankees rolled out the patch on their on their uniform

1114
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 5: Star Insurance, which I mean good for Star Like that's

1115
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 5: that's some valuable, real estate the Yankee Jersey. Oh yeah,

1116
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 5: I kind of think it's like I had never heard

1117
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 5: of Star before. You know, I heard of New York Presbyterian,

1118
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 5: I heard of Notorola and a lot of other patches

1119
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 5: on on the team's uniforms. But yeah, this guy was like, yeah,

1120
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 5: I'm never going to a game again. Their ruining tradition

1121
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 5: and uhaites the city connection.

1122
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna freak out.

1123
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 3: He's gonna freak out. I mean, unless they don't have pinstripes.

1124
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 5: On them, are they getting them soon?

1125
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: Next year? I think next year?

1126
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 5: Really, yeah, I thought they would be well how many

1127
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 5: how many have there been so far?

1128
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: I feel like I think half a little more than half,

1129
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 2: And I think that there's like eight next year and

1130
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: eight the year after.

1131
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: Maybe I think they're done by twenty twenty five.

1132
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 4: So my angry Yankee fan Staten Island uncle who Vito

1133
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 4: tells me not talk to anymore, but I'm always gonna

1134
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 4: talk to him.

1135
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 3: He'shysterical.

1136
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 4: He first of all, his face take is that the

1137
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 4: Yankees should should sue the Dodgers for the concrete block

1138
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 4: that her judge's toe in the outfield. That's he's saying

1139
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 4: that one for a while, and that he is absolutely

1140
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 4: so up.

1141
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 3: In arms over the Jersey Patch.

1142
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 4: I think, especially because the team isn't playing well again,

1143
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 4: so it's just like really kicking these Yankee fans while

1144
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 4: they're down. That came around the same time the House

1145
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 4: tib Burner was like people are aren't happy with the season,

1146
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 4: team's playing fine, and that all those happened within like

1147
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 4: a week of each other, and I think, yeah, he's

1148
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 4: he's really really just the patch. He's damaging the pin stripes.

1149
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 4: It's no purity with that.

1150
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, how do you not get

1151
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 5: it from if you're a Yankee fan that like, this

1152
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 5: is what the sport is now. They put the Nike

1153
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 5: swoosh on the uniform.

1154
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 3: Like you're asking for nuanced from Yankee fans.

1155
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 2: You're asking for a common, sensible, rational take from the

1156
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 2: most irrational fan base in all sports.

1157
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 5: I wonder if young Yankee fans feel the same way

1158
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 5: as the old Yankee fans.

1159
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 3: You.

1160
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 4: I can't say four percent of the Yankee fans are

1161
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 4: like really good, earnest baseball fans, like love the game,

1162
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 4: like really value it. But most young Yankee fans are

1163
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 4: just future old Yankee fans, and that's that's always going

1164
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 4: to be an issue.

1165
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I wonder. I mean, hey, maybe one day

1166
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 5: they'll have the names on the back of the uniforms.

1167
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope so please me too. Yeah, that's the

1168
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: best thing.

1169
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 4: When you go around you see the old school Yankee jerseys,

1170
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 4: like you'll see Mantle with the name of the backs,

1171
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 4: Like did you do you any of any idea what

1172
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 4: goes on as organization?

1173
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 3: Like Ruth three, it's like, what are you guys joking?

1174
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 5: And it's like, there's only one number three, there's only

1175
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 5: one number seven, Like you don't need to put the

1176
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 5: name there. We know who it is. Plus not having

1177
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 5: the name is advantageous. Like if you bought a Jason

1178
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 5: Giambi jersey back in what did He Say No to?

1179
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 5: Yeah too was his first year with the Yankees, that

1180
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 5: then became a mark to share a jersey. Or if

1181
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 5: you bought a Tino Martinez jersey once upon a time

1182
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 5: that then became a Gary Sanchez jersey with no problem, seamless,

1183
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 5: you know, like I go out and get Roberto Almar

1184
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 5: junior jersey or Berto Almar jersey when I'm whatever twelve

1185
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 5: years old, that thinks stayed or Berto almar forever like

1186
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 5: you want to.

1187
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 2: He's got that twenty five from t Shera and Giambi

1188
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: is also Glaber Torres.

1189
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: Now you have a current jersey.

1190
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 5: That's right. That's three solid players all for one jersey

1191
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 5: and they don't change the uniform like the road grades

1192
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 5: of the road grades, the home stripes of the home

1193
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 5: pinch stripes.

1194
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: They've got that patch.

1195
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 5: Now, well, I wonder if that I wonder if they

1196
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 5: would be so I don't even know the word I'm

1197
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 5: looking for to sell it with the patch? Oh, I

1198
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 5: like please, like a real authentic you want every single

1199
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 5: stitch to be what they wear on the field.

1200
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 4: I was thinking that, like is that something that, I mean,

1201
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 4: you guys would know better than us. I go the

1202
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 4: Mets jerseys in the team store. They they got Presbyterian

1203
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 4: on them.

1204
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it. I haven't seen a fan wearing

1205
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 5: a jersey unless like it's a you know, game used

1206
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 5: uniform that someone buys. I haven't seen that. Yeah, I

1207
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 5: haven't seen that.

1208
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 4: That's like a whole other, like like offshoot of like

1209
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 4: where that like that marketing money could wind up like

1210
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 4: then now eventually you're selling it. These are on TV,

1211
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 4: and now people are wearing them on the streets, like

1212
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 4: with your brand on it as well. It's kind of

1213
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 4: interesting because the soccer ones all do as we all know,

1214
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 4: that becomes the jersey.

1215
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: Dude soccer ones.

1216
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 2: Uh, Because I like baseball is different with the replica

1217
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: and authentic jerseys. There's differences, But with soccer jerseys, the

1218
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: difference between what they call replica and authentic is the

1219
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 2: patches on the sleeves, like getting the Premier League patch

1220
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: and getting whatever the other patches on the other arm.

1221
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 2: It's a huge deal, like between replica and authentic jersey.

1222
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: Otherwise they're the same, where baseball's a little differ.

1223
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean, and that's actually interesting marketing because

1224
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 5: then every jersey kind of becomes makes people walking billboards.

1225
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 5: So I just, oh, I hear you say that. I

1226
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 5: mean good minds thinking like James.

1227
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: It's a late night for the new dad. What do

1228
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: you got for us? Rest of met John?

1229
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 5: I want to Yeah, I got to feed a baby first,

1230
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 5: But all right, so going to Yankee Stadium. If I

1231
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 5: were a Yankee fan, I wouldn't be upset about the patch.

1232
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 5: I'd be upset about the dimensions of my my stadium.

1233
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 5: It's still just every every time I watch a game there,

1234
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 5: I cannot believe some of the balls get out to

1235
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 5: right field. It is. It's something else. So for this series,

1236
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 5: I want to know how many home runs do you

1237
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 5: guys will be do you guys think will be hit

1238
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,799

1288
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,680

1289
