00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: on a day that there is no game, how does

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: it feel.

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Kind of weird? Weird? Walking in totally empty.

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: We just hung out with Kim from the the media cafe.

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: She's like, there's no one here to eat great food? Yeah, great,

27
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: can't wait? Do you after this?

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: But it's just funny now seeing the stadium on an

29
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 3: off day like this. Usually we see it late at night,

30
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: so it's like off day ish, but there's like a pure,

31
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: true off day. It finally feels like we work here.

32
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there there's stuff going on too. Of

33
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: course they've they've been doing media access.

34
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 3: I was talking a couple of floors below us right now.

35
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: You can only imagine what he's saying awful things. I'm

36
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: sure he's not. I'm sure he's all right.

37
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: But because Vye right now, you know what, it's true,

38
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: it's post season time. We need to turn up the intensity.

39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: We hate the Padres now official hate of the Padres, officially,

40
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: hate the pod officially, and we need to come out

41
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: and beat the pants off of them.

42
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean, just we need to win. We need to win.

43
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: It's the playoffs. You lose now season's over. Is it

44
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: a need to win or is it a can't lose?

45
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: It's both both. I think you need to win because

46
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: you can't lose.

47
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm excited for the tone to be set in this

48
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: series because these teams played earlier this year, but they

49
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: haven't met since July. Yeah, Prodgers beat the Mets four two,

50
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: which is not predictive of anything, but did happen? So

51
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: something to bring up something everyone's been talking about a lot,

52
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: and I think we're gonna learn a lot right off

53
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: the bat, just because we're gonna see you Darvish immediately

54
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: Game one, and you Darvish has dominated the Mets time

55
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: and time again, year after year for the entire duration

56
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 3: since he's.

57
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Been member of Major League Baseball. Yeah you Darvish. I

58
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: mean he's had a gas.

59
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was gonna say go with the stats.

60
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: I was gonna get a season stats just because it.

61
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: Was one of the best seasons of his entire career

62
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: this year.

63
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: He's such a sneaky good pitcher because he'll sprinkle in

64
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: like just some god awful starts where he doesn't really

65
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: have it and he gets hit hard. Not I guess

66
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: the Mets not against the Mets. That has not happened yet,

67
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: it seems like in his career. But this year a

68
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: three to one ERA in one hundred and ninety four innings,

69
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: which is I think the second most in his career ever.

70
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: So he's had a relatively healthy.

71
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: Season as well, for you, Darvish, which has always been

72
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: something that's been a problem for him.

73
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: He had a really good year whip under.

74
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: One strikeou's run prevention. Also, he's been mostly healthy. It's

75
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: just like, really those two years he was unhealthy when

76
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: he kind of just got worked a lot. But yeah,

77
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: he's been a remarkable picture of his entire ration of

78
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: his career.

79
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: Then you look at what he's done against the Mets.

80
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: Eight game started against Mets his career, he's never lost

81
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: five and zero record sounds like he's doue fifty two

82
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: and two thirds innings, pitch just fifty eight strikeouts, just

83
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: nine walks, zero points seven four whib and two point

84
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: five to sixty ra.

85
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Okay, But how many of those games were in the

86
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: postseason none so far. Zero. Sounds like he's never beat

87
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: the Mets in the.

88
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: Postseason, never beat the Mets in postseason, And I mean

89
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 3: I do recall him not being great a couple times

90
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: in the postseason.

91
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

92
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: I mean he's had some years where he hasn't always

93
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: had everything going for him, but really, at.

94
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: The end of the day, he's a pitcher.

95
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: One of those years of twenty nineteen, I feel like

96
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: I remember him dominating the Mets on like a Muggy

97
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: August evening with the Cubs, just walking in the city

98
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: field and like dashing our playoff hopes.

99
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: You know that on that one hurts you guys want

100
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: to know, Sorry, you guys want to know his career

101
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: playoff stats.

102
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: I was just for shure him up, but Johnny stats

103
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: phill Sen.

104
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be the contrarian in a positive way here

105
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: for the Mets fans. Yeah, because are singing the praise

106
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: of you, Darvish. He's made seven your playoffs starts. He

107
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: is two and five. He has a five to one

108
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: eight e r A. And another fun fact, that Muggy

109
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: August night you were talking about, Yes, Pete Alonzo set

110
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: the Mets single season home run record with a homer

111
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: against you, Darvish, on that night.

112
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's.

113
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 4: There's some track record here for Mets fans.

114
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Think it was the only run they scored. Actually, I

115
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I don't have to go at that.

116
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: That was.

117
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: That was.

118
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: That was three games sleep for the Cubs and to

119
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: kind of put a hammer on the Mets playoff chances

120
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 4: that year. But yeah, you Darvish not a great playoff

121
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: track record?

122
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Whatsoever?

123
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: I am looking well, I guess this one doesn't really matter.

124
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Twenty seventeen against the Astros. I think we kind of

125
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: know what happened there. But it's just say he's had

126
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: a couple starts to where he didn't even get out

127
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: of the second inning and he didn't strike anybody out.

128
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: But I think we also know why he didn't strike

129
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: anyone out.

130
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: No, I mean they knew it was coming, but met No,

131
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: I guess what I mean. It's hard to cheat against you, darbish.

132
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 3: There are so many pitches he does through us, Like

133
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: how many different kinds of trash cancadence?

134
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Does you think they even had that game? I don't know.

135
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: I would be bad, bad, bad? What is like seven pitches? What?

136
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: How many different pitches has Darvish thrown this year? I'm

137
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna go on his.

138
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 3: He's one of those guys who always says that like

139
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: the pitch tracking, like mechanisms don't actually grab everything he throws.

140
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: He throws different variations of all of his pitches. Kind

141
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: of s much rain. Rice says, Yeah, like three pitches, the.

142
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: Nine cutter, four seams, slider, sinker, split finger, curveballs, what

143
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: baseball has picked up for him, which is like basically

144
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: every single pitch. If you play, that would be the show.

145
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: Don't think there's enough buttons to press for d Nightmare.

146
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god.

147
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: I think actually it probably helps him because you don't have, yeah,

148
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: six fingers, you only have five fingers on one hand,

149
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: so you really got to get creative with him. But yeah,

150
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: I mean, like we've seen him so many times. We

151
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: know he's a good pitcher.

152
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: Twice this year twice.

153
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: Rare that you see a picture from a team not

154
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: in your division twice in the same year.

155
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: And I do like that we've seen him already.

156
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: I think there's I think there's a slight advantage to

157
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: having seen a guy who does have good stuff like

158
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: that twice already this year. Now again, he did carve

159
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: us up, there's no doubt about it.

160
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: Fifteen strikeouts in one walk, one and run and fourteen

161
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: innings and two wins.

162
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: But I don't think that that necessarily is a bad thing.

163
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: That you've seen fifteen innings of him, Like you kind

164
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: of know what the book is going to be on you,

165
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: Darvish right now, at least how he game plans against

166
00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: your team.

167
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: For sure.

168
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's kind of like we can argue

169
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: and talk around these stats and everything, but they don't

170
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: really mean anyth until we actually step on the field.

171
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: The tone is going to be said early in this game.

172
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: It's been a big, big theme for the Mets of

173
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: this season is how well they hit in the first

174
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: inning will be kind of ndictive indicative of how the

175
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: hit in the game feels like.

176
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: It's like, if they scored in the first thing, you know,

177
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a good day. If they don't, we're

178
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: gonna have to it's gonna be a grinder a little bit.

179
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: And we've seen this top this order at least hit

180
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: well this week, especially Brandon Neimo, and I think he's

181
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: he's gonna be one of the guys who's next factor

182
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: because he's he's one of the guys who's gonna come

183
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: up in that first inning. I mean, Francisco inndoor as well,

184
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: depending on how line shakes up. But we know Brandon

185
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: was gonna be hitting lead off.

186
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he can both see pitches and hit home runs. Yes,

187
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: that's huge.

188
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, one of the most underrated players in the league. Yeah,

189
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: that first thing is gonna be huge. I don't know what,

190
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: you darbish, just even like in the first sitting, that

191
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 2: probably would.

192
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: Have been good, probably good like all the other got it.

193
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, John John will get us for that or get

194
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: us that stat while we're talking here.

195
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: And I mean for us too.

196
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: It's we have we have Max Sures are on the bumble,

197
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: so it's not like you know, nobody's facing you, Darvish.

198
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: And also he's beatable, you derbish is very beatable.

199
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: I don't want I don't I know, we just talked

200
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: about how great he's been, But I don't want to

201
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: make it sound like this is like an uphill battle

202
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: by any means. It's a metal one hundred and one

203
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: games this year, you Darvish has lost plenty, It had

204
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: plenty of bad starts, and it's the playoffs. There's a

205
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: different sense of urgency, there's a different amount of pressure.

206
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: The city field is gonna be packed, it's gonna be loud,

207
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: it's gonna be crazy. You darbish hasn't seen that all

208
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: year out in sunny San Diego, so it's gonna.

209
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: Be a lot different. And the weather.

210
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: I know, it's supposed to be warmer right on Friday,

211
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: I think, but it's still still no San Diego sunny day.

212
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: No, I mean you.

213
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: Darves has pitched all basically his whole career in warm,

214
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: warm places.

215
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Texas.

216
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: Oh la, we could really take We're gonna oh Chicago

217
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: for a little while.

218
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was good, No meaningful games with Chicago.

219
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: No, not well he was there at least we're we're grassmate,

220
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: we're begging for first pitch to was actually gill Chilli.

221
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk. What's the temperature we're looking at.

222
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: By the time we get it to eight oh seven pm,

223
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: we're looking at the fifties.

224
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: Oh that's no, that's probably that's big New York Mets weather, right,

00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: five to four to Oho Mark get O.

231
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: Man.

232
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: The Mets scored first in ninety seven of their one

233
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty two games sixty, so that's kind of nippy.

234
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about this last night.

235
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: We were recording how this could be an advantage for

236
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: the Mets, especially Saturday night. It's going to be a

237
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: high fifty seven during the day. Wow on Saturday the Padres.

238
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,239
Speaker 4: When is the last time they've played an elements that

239
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 4: are that are challenging?

240
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: They go San Francisco. I'm sure they had. I'm sure

241
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: they had a couple of games in San Franz this

242
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: summer where they were just there.

243
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 4: They ended the season there, but I doubt it did

244
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: below sixty.

245
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: Well, this is warm San Francisco now September October. But

246
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure when when they were there in June they

247
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 3: had like a.

248
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: Fifty degree night. Yeah, game game capitore wearing the cloak

249
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: because City Field is also like I feel like runs

250
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: colder than what the temperature. The biggest most lept On

251
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: think about city fields. We were on the water.

252
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 3: Yes, Like it's not advertised, it's not marketed, No one

253
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: knows it because you go right off the train, you

254
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: go right then you come off the highway, you come

255
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: into the parking lot.

256
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: The water's right there, just stones throw away. You get

257
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:00,800

258
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,240

262
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 2: the University of South Carolina because it was a warm

263
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,280

Speaker 1: Could you can do that in South Carolina?

267
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: Every birthday I did. It was just because it was

268
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: like sixty which is in January. That's hot. That's that's

269
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: like that kid in the fourth grade that we won't

270
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: put pants on. Yeah, but that's January, especially when you're

271
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: coming back from winter break in New Jersey where it's

272
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: like there's snow and it's freezing.

273
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: You get down there fifty sixty degrees, that's a hot January.

274
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: Universe smiled on me.

275
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: I remember my twenty first birthday in Ohio, A little

276
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: birthday tangent right there forever, my birtha has always been

277
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: freezing February birthday like worse than freezing sometimes like zero

278
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 3: five ten degrees or Hio New Jersey, New York. Basically

279
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 3: the same exact climate, just different between like lake effect

280
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: like in a valley versus like being on the coast.

281
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: My twenty first birthday was seventy five degrees in sunny. Wow.

282
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: It was it was like it was the moment I

283
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: realized I was like, probably by God or something.

284
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: That's a fantastic day.

285
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: So we now have the information of the weather's gonna

286
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: be sixty game time, which is still cold, and it's

287
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: probably gonna feel like fifty in city field.

288
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, like with shere's on the mound, you gotta

289
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: be feeling great.

290
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no reason not to. Like we're going,

291
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: We're We're definitely gonna be the favorites. In terms of Vegas.

292
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: I would say we have a slight advantge in terms

293
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: of pitching matchup. I said we have a slight vanage

294
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: in terms of lineup.

295
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: I think our bullpen is better than their too.

296
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: Their bullpen has been trending up a little bit like

297
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: hater figuring out how to pitch really stinks, cause I

298
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 3: mean it's still not really figuring out the whole problem

299
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: with Hay there. And I pulled this from Mike Yahello,

300
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: who is formerly of Pitchureless Now Baseball perspective. The issue

301
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: with Hail when he came to San Diegos, they tried

302
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: to change up his arm slot to get more movement.

303
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: Why would they do that?

304
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: Why This team is historically not great with with major

305
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: league pitching development.

306
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: So what they did was when they moved his armslet

307
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: up a sinker.

308
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 3: Did get more movement, but he lost a lot of

309
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: deception used to have from the three quarter angle, and

310
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 3: now he's been kind of somewhere in between moving it

311
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: back and forth, and that inconsistency is what led to

312
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 3: his lack of command, lack of troll, and lack of

313
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: good results.

314
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Don't say it's too loud. The Podgers are walking around here.

315
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: They're literally in here. They're walking around. We don't want

316
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: them to know that. That's what's been going.

317
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: It's been inconsistent. That's why he can't really find his

318
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 3: groove anymore.

319
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like their bullpen, I think like all

320
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: year has been like most bullpens, where you have your

321
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: ups and downs, but it definitely feels like, there's guys

322
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: that we can get to in this bullpen a little

323
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 2: bit easier than some other teams, for sure.

324
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: A little bullpen breakdown give you right now, we're gonna

325
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: see Nick Martinez, who started the year as a starting

326
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: pitcher after coming over playing for years.

327
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: I'll remember for his career Japan looking up for you.

328
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was Korea.

329
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: I think it was like eighty percent sure. His career

330
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: came out of Japan. Wow, there you go, look at us.

331
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: That's why look things up.

332
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: Upon ham Fighters and the Soft Bank Hawks.

333
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 3: He's a fastball, change up, slider guy. Everything's played up

334
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: since they moved to the bullpen. He has been a

335
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: little bit lucky though his ERA is a full run

336
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: lower than his FIP.

337
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: But he's explained FIP real quick FIP. Fielding independent pitching.

338
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: It's basically the results of your balls in play as

339
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: they would have been like, but how it decrab a

340
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: john like as if they would have been projected.

341
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 4: It's like an e RA. It only accounts for walks, strikeouts,

342
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: and home run. So the controllables for a pitcher. You

343
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: take away the fielders correct, you take away the lock,

344
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 4: and it's on an era scale, and pretty much if

345
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 4: your FIP is a lot higher or lower than the RA,

346
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: you're you're getting very lucky or you're getting very unlucky,

347
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: and you're bound for the opposite of whatever is actually happening.

348
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: Kind of like we.

349
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: Talked about with Nola, how his FIP is always way

350
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 2: lower because the Phillies' defense is atrocious. Yes, so that's

351
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: how you can also get a better FIP than your RA.

352
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: And because that ballpark allows more home runs than most

353
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: other ones. Yep.

354
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: And then they also have Robert Suarez. I'm pulling up

355
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: his pitch mix right now because I can't remember. It's you, right,

356
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: I don't remember I he's lefty. I'm pulling this stufup

357
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: right now.

358
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: I feel like Robert Suarez is. Tim Hill's a lefty.

359
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: Tim Hill's a lefty Tim Hills the classic, like all

360
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: American story. He was just pitching, and like he was

361
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: pitching in a men's league in San Diego, working at

362
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 3: in a factory or something or some kind of plant. Funky, funky,

363
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: he's funny submarine side arm to me, he just like

364
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: got from there, went back to the Duco route because

365
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: he still had eligibility and then just became a pitcher

366
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: on the Padres literally like every person's dream. But Suarez

367
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: is alrighty gets up in ninety eight. He's got probably

368
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: one of the fastest fastballs in this ballpen, fastball change

369
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: up most. He's another guy who's FIP is weirdly below

370
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: his ra Then you have Luis Garcia, who I actually

371
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: think probably skill wise, he's got good stuff. He might

372
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: have the best stuff in this entire bullpen.

373
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: He's reversed. He's got Cardinals, right, he was on the Cardinals.

374
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 4: Padres got him one of three garcias baseball right now, Yes,

375
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: one of three.

376
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: And that there we just that will do one of them,

377
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: that's right. The other one shout us out there earlier

378
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 3: this year. Three, Well, hopefully we hit him. Yeah, hopefully

379
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: him Mouse Garcia, though I like him generally. Pierce Johnson

380
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: missed most of the season with elbow tend and nights.

381
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: He's just forever had armed problems. But he came back

382
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: kind of strong.

383
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: And yes, he's like eighty five percent slider.

384
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 3: He's been trending up in the bullpen, someone who's been

385
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: getting more access to the to the higher leverage rolls.

386
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: Those four guys that's the Triumviran. I got a former

387
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: Metal alert. You know about this one, ne Bil Chris Matt.

388
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 4: I never for the Mets in the big leagues, though

389
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 4: he was in.

390
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Their form system. You guys highest Triple A in twenty eighteen.

391
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 4: Uh.

392
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: I understand why he's not with the Mets anymore based

393
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: on what he did then. But yeah, former met alert

394
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: Nebil Chris Matt. And he also he's like their Trevor Williams.

395
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: I believe, I don't know. I like he's gonna be

396
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: on this ross.

397
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: You don't think so, no, because I think cause they're

398
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: gonna get they can get linked from Adrian Morejone, who's

399
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 3: like the backup lefty, the Tim Hill, and he just

400
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: has better stuff than Chris met And.

401
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: Also Josh Hader could go a couple of news if

402
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: they need, of course, and I mean they have what's

403
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: his name too, Craig Stammon.

404
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: I think those a couple of guys, major.

405
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: Breaking news, breaking news, major breaking news, breaking serious, this

406
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: just happened, wearing the black Let's go, there we go

407
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: in game one. That's big, that's big vibes. That's good,

408
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: that's good.

409
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: Sorry, sorry interrupt the Adrian more more John. I I

410
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: like that pronunciation more John. It's spelled more John.

411
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: We need more, we need more, I think, okay, with

412
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: the amount of God, we need quantity of John.

413
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: But their bullpen isn't it's not it's not good, but

414
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: it's not bad. I do think they have a very

415
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: similar bullpen to the Mets. Just the A and the holes.

416
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 3: What hey do we get?

417
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I guess that's relatively fair now.

418
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: Because like they I mean, because like Suarez and Martinez

419
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: are good, Like Garcia has the good stuff. That's kind

420
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: of like that's kind of like out of Vienna Lugo. Yeah,

421
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 3: Andrew Smith. In a way, it's.

422
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: They're they're this team. This team is they literally they

423
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: built the team in for October.

424
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: The Padres have been putting heaps of money into this

425
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: roster for years and years to try and make a run.

426
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: They they are ready for this.

427
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: They wanted this, they've had They known exactly who they're

428
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: gonna be and where they're gonna be for a long time.

429
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: Their pitchers haven't been throwing a lot of innings. They've

430
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 3: been very much preparing for this. Yeah, so this is

431
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: gonna be a battle.

432
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: Mean, it's go this is I feel like the best

433
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: playoff series of the Wildcard weekend, right.

434
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: I think it's probably the most talented. Okay, it's it

435
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: has the most juice for sure, which is why all

436
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: of our games are late.

437
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and it's also Padres. You can't you can't

438
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: give the Padres one o'clock or a four o'clock game.

439
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: People are at work one o'clock, he asked me.

440
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: That's true, But I don't know, like the running around

441
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about the other year, I guess briefly,

442
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: but like Cardinals Phillies, like, there's not much juice there,

443
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: no juiceless juiceless who Guardians who.

444
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: The Guardian Guardians raise has negative juice, no juice.

445
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 4: Seven cash balls and do it for you guys.

446
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: I love, mean, I love those teams play great baseball.

447
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: Never doubt the Rays, no.

448
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Never. Also, the Guardians I think are like twenty five

449
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: and five unless they're like.

450
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: If I think all the Wildcard teams have been playing

451
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: really well. The Mariners are super hot too.

452
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: Marriage Blue Jay is almost like sucks that those who

453
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: have to play against want to each them to get

454
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 3: home games.

455
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.

456
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 2: Toronto is an electric atmosphere too during the playoffs. But yeah,

457
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: back to the Padres, I mean, looking through this this roster,

458
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: this team, we just went over the pitching, right, I mean, well.

459
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: We went over. We just went over the Darvish and

460
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: the ballpens. Yeah, Game two, do we know who they

461
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: could be throwing?

462
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: Both teams are leaving an open for interpretation right now,

463
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: kind of depending how it goes Game one, which I

464
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: think is kind of weird for the Padres because they're

465
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: their pitchers are all pretty equal. Yeah, got between Darvis

466
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: Snell and Joe Muscrove. Those are all frontline starters who

467
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 3: are necessarily aces, but they're all like very good two's

468
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: I would, says Dovers. I guess his niece that was

469
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 3: a little rude. And Snell has been pitching like an

470
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: ace in the second half.

471
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: It's one of cy young.

472
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's one of the highest. Track out mine his

473
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: walk rates, which just di of site on this show

474
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: all the time. As you literally take your strike out rate,

475
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: subtract your walk rate. That kind of shows how well

476
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: you are missing bats while not while while keeping the

477
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: ball inside.

478
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: The strike zone. Was because you went back to what

479
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: worked for the exact same thing.

480
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: You did last your second half back to back here

481
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: is Darvis and about Darvis Snell in the first half

482
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: sat right between four and a half and five and

483
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: second half it's like around two. Yeah, I mean great,

484
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: almost giving me the fans the championship.

485
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: We know he does in the playoffs though, I mean

486
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: in the playoffs just five innings, yeah, hey, I mean,

487
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: but that's kind of what he comes down to with

488
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 2: the two pitches, Like that's kind of the like what

489
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: Blake Snell does.

490
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 3: But he's gonna be good for those innings and it's

491
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: kind of like whether or not he's in the strikes

492
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: or not right away.

493
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: But we were talking, we were talking about this briefly

494
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 2: too earlier before recording, and I think it's a good

495
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: conversation to have now too, because with the new playoff

496
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: format with the wild card, this is the first.

497
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: Time we're having the three game series like this.

498
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: The COVID year, I think had the three games series two, right,

499
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: but it's now a new format, especially with the NLDS

500
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: being immediately after it. So a lot of these teams, Mets, Padres,

501
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: whoever's playing, everything is gonna rely on game one. So

502
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: game one, if the Mets win sure as or goes

503
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: and then game two. It obviously it could be de Grom,

504
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: it could be Bassett, but the idea is at least

505
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: you probably go with Bassett so that if you win,

506
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: you can have de Grom start game one in the NLDS,

507
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: and I got to assume that Padres would do something

508
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: similar where if Darvish wins Game one, whoever they feel

509
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: like matches up better with the Dodgers will not pitch

510
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: Game two.

511
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know who that is. I guess it's

512
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: probably probably must Grove.

513
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but Snell just had a great star against

514
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 2: the Dodgers like two weeks ago. Yeah, I'm just like

515
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: thinking in their lineup, maybe Snell does too because he's

516
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: a lefty, and that gets Freeman and Bellinger and Mookie

517
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: and go and see Gallow Gallow crazy and lefties Turner.

518
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: They're a really good team, really good players, hopefully talking

519
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: about that next year.

520
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: But I they almost they are like an embarrassment Riches

521
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: because the all three of these guys are good and

522
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: similar ish not similar like in style, but similar in

523
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: skill level.

524
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: Musgrove is a guy who who while he's been.

525
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: Had a very good season, he's trended a little bit

526
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: down in the second half.

527
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: He's lost a little bit of losity, which is kind of.

528
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: Part for the course from Musgrove and take down too, right, Yeah,

529
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: Carry went down, Walker went up the slide.

530
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: It seems like I had a little less bite. It's

531
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: getting less whift freight in the second half as well.

532
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 4: More breaking news, Oh my god, now will be the

533
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 4: game two starter?

534
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Got the how did you guys listen to that?

535
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: And now I wonder if Sean and I on the

536
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 4: playoff roster and this wild card round for them, I hope,

537
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 4: so all right.

538
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: I would love to see Sean and I wonder he

539
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: actually just had a great start this.

540
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 4: Week against the giants Indiana State Sycamore. Shaan and I

541
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 4: there you go, right, that's that's too well.

542
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: One of them is all of famer than the other.

543
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: Shaman I a two professional athletes, two professional athletes.

544
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: He did. He with the really good first at this year.

545
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: He did he just like he his arm is that

546
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 3: that's talk about roast beef.

547
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean he just hasn't thrown actually certain way mornings.

548
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: I thought this year every year he had first couple

549
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: of years he got heard a lot and the had

550
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 3: the time of John cleaned it up. He had a

551
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 3: rough year after that, and he's been good since then

552
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: in terms of workload. But he always just one of

553
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: those guys where the lost. They oscillate so much it's

554
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: just hard to trust. I mean that's I also was

555
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: junk though, like Sean and I in a playoff inning

556
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: like that slither just over and over again, that'd be

557
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: very frustrating.

558
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: Definitely, But I think that's funny how we were talking

559
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: about who could be Game two announced and just told

560
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 2: us they said, this is what's gonna be in the

561
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: same building, in the same because literally just told us

562
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: in our ears. Yeah, and we saw where's the Padres

563
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: guy that we saw like the three minutes ago?

564
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: He whispered in our did not respect us. Wow, he

565
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: was like, who's the talent? We were like us. He

566
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh buddy.

567
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 2: He gave a why strong Strong, It's all right, sor right,

568
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: keep sleeping on the mess of the podcast.

569
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: We're doing really well.

570
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 3: So yeah, just I guess start talking about the offense.

571
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: Now here is my unexpected stat of the day. He

572
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 3: mets and more home runs than the Padres this season.

573
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: That is unexpected, unexpected, but honestly it is. But then

574
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 3: you dive deeper, you go, Okay, it actually makes sense

575
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: because the Padres like many Machado' they're a big home

576
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: run guy, and Moan Soo and Josh Bell, but Josh

577
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: Bell and Soto came later as we know in the season.

578
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: Outside of that, like Hassein.

579
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 2: Kim eleven homers, Crony Cronin's, like, these are all good players.

580
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: These are all guys who put up good numbers. But

581
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: I could see the home run numbers being low now

582
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: for sure.

583
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we and the Mets as a team have a

584
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 3: higher WRSIT plus the higher slug percentage hiher on base percentage,

585
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: lower strikeout rate.

586
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: Padres walk a little bit more often.

587
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 3: Okay, interesting, yes that's Dallas those pen and paper. But

588
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: like in terms of runs per game, is pretty similar

589
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 3: for four point seven vers four point three.

590
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when you go over one sixty the

591
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: I I'll tell you a funny story.

592
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: I was looking through their baseball reference to you know,

593
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 2: get ready for the episode, and I saw Eric Osmer's.

594
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: Face and I I chipped my pants a little bit.

595
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, oh my god, and

596
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 2: that wait, he's on the red Sox depens he's on

597
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: the Red Sox.

598
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 4: I know, thank god.

599
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: I'm also as far as like on the field, yeah,

600
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 3: because he actually just tormented us when we played them,

601
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: but also in terms of the media frends that I

602
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: would have been around Eric Osmer's returned to a playoff

603
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 3: game in the city field.

604
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: My heart couldn't have handled it. No, I like we've

605
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: had to do something he would not have.

606
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 2: Of course, this lineup, though, is still very good. Like

607
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 2: you were just mentioning Wan Soto, who had who has

608
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: been cold, I'm gonna put big quotation marks around him

609
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: because I feel like only stupid people are.

610
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: Saying one Juan so though.

611
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: We've seen Wan so theoll carry a team to the

612
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: World Series before, and he's he's capable of doing that

613
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: the snap of.

614
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 2: His still one of the best hitters in baseball without

615
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: a doubt. I don't care what his ops and numbers

616
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: were with the Padres. He can turn it on at

617
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: any moment, and he's still been good with the Padres strikes,

618
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: still has an o PS plus.

619
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: At one thirty. Yeah, and what's considered down for him.

620
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of Eventually these two teams are

621
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: matched up because these are two of especially the National

622
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: League's more contact oriented rosters. Like both these teams are

623
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 3: built on playing the ball in play, which kind of

624
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: bucks conventional wisdom as a sea buck on the television

625
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: right now in terms of modern baseball.

626
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: So I do think that it's gonna create.

627
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 3: For some fun matchup type opportunities where you're gonna have

628
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: You're gonna have some baseball, like the ball is gonna

629
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: be in play, You're gonna need to play good defense.

630
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: These are two of the teams to strike out the

631
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: least often in baseball as a team. And there's there's

632
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: their star power, there's supplementary players, there's players who are

633
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 3: coming coming into age, players who were cold, players were hot.

634
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 3: There's a lot of similarities with these two rosters.

635
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: It's good. It's gonna be very fascinating to see a playout.

636
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Padres played pesky. I mean, just Jake Cronworth, that

637
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 2: guy's screams. He's good shortstop too.

638
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 3: Hass On Kim coming to the major leagues as a

639
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: power hitting guy who couldn't play defense and now becoming

640
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: a slick fielding short stop. We can't hit for power.

641
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: It just goes so far tell us about international scatchy.

642
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: Jerks and Profar is gonna be annoying. Henna so frustrating

643
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: hotly forgot about jerks and Profar. He's gonna draw the

644
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: most annoying walks.

645
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: I'm talking about former metal er too. Brandon Drury completely

646
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: forgot he's on this team.

647
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: Forgot about too.

648
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: That was the trade Dowlane acquisition too. Yeah, he also

649
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: looks like he might have been a bit of a

650
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: great American ballpark merchant. But he's still gonna put together

651
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: go that bat.

652
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: Still had a one oh nine ops plus with them,

653
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 2: he and a gum runs and nine doubles.

654
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: And think he was like one forty in the first

655
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: half for the Breasts.

656
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: In forty six games. He takes seventeen extra base hits.

657
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been hitting pretty well. But as we

658
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: know this Mets team, now that we have full season numbers,

659
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 2: the numbers have been great this team. This team hit seams,

660
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 2: scored run, they pitched, they did everything. So as long

661
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: as they keep coming out with that same kind of

662
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: stuff that we saw over the one sixty two, I

663
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: mean they won one hundred and one games, the.

664
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: Mets are going to put a player who is above

665
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: average at the plate at every single position, probably besides

666
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: catcher in this line.

667
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 2: Up one hundred per like Pete Alonzo one forty six,

668
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: w are ops plus Jeff meydeal won forty indoor like

669
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm on fangrafs and you're on Baseball Reference. That just

670
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: says that's that's literally exactly what we are right now.

671
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 2: I'm such a Baseball Reference guy Lindor won twenty five,

672
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 2: EDWARDO Escobar, where's he at?

673
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: James six?

674
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: Morcano one twenty two, Nimo one thirty, Dan Volgel back

675
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: with the Mets one thirty nine. As we have Walkee

676
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: Talkie's going on, respond this is what happens when you're

677
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: you're you're in the midst of midst.

678
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: What finished the sentence? Why are we in the miss things?

679
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: I guess technically like we're in the midst of an episode.

680
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: We're in the mix in the ballpark. Okay, Okay, So

681
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: I was combining both. Yeah, so you're not not incorrect.

682
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Classic fumble in my words on the podcast.

683
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 3: Here, I'm looking to see how the Padres have been

684
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 3: drawing up this line up recently too. Against Ryley's they

685
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: had been hitting profile leadoff okay, Profar Sodo, Machadough, cronin Worth,

686
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 3: the classic cleanup spot, second, leadoff, yep, fourth, Drewry Myers.

687
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe, Well Myers still here. They've got named

688
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: B Dixon. Who's been playing? Who's Brandon Dixon? Brand? Is

689
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: it Brandon? That's gotta be brand? Brandon Dixon thirty years old? Man,

690
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't like seeing a thirty year old rookie.

691
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: He got he got a couple of coffee, not a

692
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: couple coffee. Hundred twenty games with the Tigers twenty nineteen.

693
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: That also makes sense.

694
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: It's fifteen home runs with the juice ball, thirty two

695
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: percent strike I rated a seven percent amwsy pause.

696
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: I mean, now we're talking about roster construction too. We

697
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: should probably talk about the Mets roster construction as well,

698
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 2: because obviously we're at what twenty eight when the right

699
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: sounded yeah, and you have to get down to twenty

700
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: six for the postseason. So there are gonna be some

701
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: guys that you've been seen in every day that are

702
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: not gonna be on this team. And I think it's

703
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: worth talking about because there are some questions.

704
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that we're comfortable now, knowing how many

705
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 3: innings and pitches Trevor Williams through on Wednesday, he's not

706
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: going to be on the roster for this round.

707
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we would have to assume.

708
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know anything for sure, we know nothing,

709
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 2: and this is just me and James talker. Yeah, then

710
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: it becomes a conversation of whether you want to still

711
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: have another picture on or another hitter and that picture

712
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: who could get cut off the roster probably at this

713
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 2: point could only Well, there's two guys, I think who who.

714
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: I think it's Carrasco or given.

715
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I just think that I think that Carrasco

716
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: the body of work and the experience, They're gonna still

717
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: have him on this roster at worst case as a

718
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 3: mop up guy because his playoff games, like something happens early.

719
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: You have to be quick to the trigger. Yeah, like

720
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: if there's if there's two runs in, there's three men

721
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: on base.

722
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: Like you probably have to make a move. Yeah, And

723
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 3: Carrasco's been in the playoffs. He still has like he's

724
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: still there's still something against Iland. Last month has been bad,

725
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: but you can go out there if the change up

726
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: work and he has a feel for the Slyer, he

727
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 3: can be effective, and it kind of becomes a question

728
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 3: of whether or not they which hitters they carry.

729
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like Francisco Olvarez.

730
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 3: Dead enough definitely over this last week to get himself

731
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: onto this roster.

732
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 2: For me, I mean we're not setting him nor no,

733
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: but I mean there's right there there is Buck.

734
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: What do you think, Buck?

735
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: No, he's uh, he's on the same room as us

736
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: as you guess. No, But I mean you'd be like,

737
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 2: who are these guys talking?

738
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: Were they talking about?

739
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: He's been swinging the bats so well? And is that

740
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 2: bats that look so comfortable that hitting the ball hard?

741
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: Surely he has to be, especially because we're gonna be

742
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: facing the lefty and Snell. Yeah, we could be facing

743
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: lefty and Hater, could be facing lefty and Tim Hill.

744
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: During these games, you gotta have a right hand bat

745
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: off the bench, and he's definitely our best option, definitely.

746
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: But then it becomes a consideration of who is not

747
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: on this roster between Vientos, Gore, and I guess technically

748
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: mccamb he's probably gonna be honest, you probably want three

749
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: catchers because Albret is gonna be more of a DH.

750
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 2: And I also, I like, I don't mind carrying three catchers,

751
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: especially with the way that this shorter series is where

752
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: you can have less pictures bodies, so you just have

753
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: bodies because I mean, we saw ned open for McCann

754
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: and we want to be able to pinch hit for

755
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: a catcher or whoever the spot is that's needed. If

756
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: Gore comes as a pinch runner earlier to pinch hit

757
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: for him later, it allows you to be a lot

758
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: more aggressive carrying three catchers, and I think that's something

759
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 2: that I would be surprised if the Mets didn't do

760
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 2: that for the series.

761
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

762
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: And then it then becomes basically a conversation of whether

763
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: it's Ventos or Givens.

764
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: Yo's Givens or Carrasco. I think that's probably what the

765
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: final three are. And on a roster with Daniel Vogelback,

766
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he gets on base, he's non bas machine,

767
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: and you kind of have to keep Terrencecore around because

768
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: he really just clog up the bases and outside of

769
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: like the first five innings, he's probably going to see

770
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: a lefty, so you have to be aggressive with pinch

771
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: running with him because he's not going to see a

772
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: right hand pitcher, whoever it is more than two times

773
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: no vocal back.

774
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 3: Gore becomes the foil for vocal backs to where he's

775
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: like basically as opposite of a player as.

776
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: You could possibly have the roster.

777
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: He's like the Yeah, that's that's one of the that

778
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 3: could be one the best players in baseball history. Terren

779
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 3: score if you can combine those skill sets. Yeah, and

780
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: like he's also snooky Betsy. I guess, yeah, he is

781
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: kind of mooky Bets. And like, depending on what goes

782
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 3: on with Starr Martet, we we still aren't sure. No,

783
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: there was basical activities today, but we can't. I'm not

784
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 3: gonnapeculate an injury and get my hopes or your guys

785
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 3: no clues.

786
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: You probably know by the time this even comes out.

787
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: Like, Gore also gives you an emergency outfielder as well.

788
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: Also with with whut Starling Marte have, you basically have

789
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: three bas outfielders with Canada Nate Quinn, Nemo McNeil's the

790
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: other outfield the third slash fourth outfield, depending on whether

791
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: he is playing or not, you do need another guy

792
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: who can play the outfield. Yeah, Terrence scores that guy,

793
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: and he's got speed, can cover ground. So I mean

794
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: the roster.

795
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: Wait, look at the cup that Buck has. That is

796
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: the classic. Oh my god, the Greek, the Greek podegas

797
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: can use them all year in spring training. That's his things.

798
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: Like he only drinks coffee out of those the coffee.

799
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: That's the only way I would ever drink coffee. I've

800
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: never shared. I never drank coffee. How many how many

801
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: poscasts in the world to co hosts not drink coffee?

802
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: Wall you don't drink coffee either. No.

803
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: Never, I've had like like two cups of coffee in

804
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: my life.

805
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: I'll do it. I'll do an espresso after when worthyse two?

806
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 4: Like, when did you pick your spots to have those

807
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: two cups of coffee?

808
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: It's got to be So that's Thanksgiving dinner. You're having

809
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving out your health. I always doingn espresso instead. Well,

810
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. The espress.

811
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: Espresso is coffee. If espresso counts, I've had like more,

812
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: that's great. It's like I don't like go on my

813
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: way to get like coffee on steroids. It's like double cough.

814
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: I'm talking literally a cup of coffee.

815
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Never, never, once.

816
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: I don't think, I mean you once or twice. I

817
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: think I've taken a sip of coffee didn't like it.

818
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: I also have a bad stomach, so it wouldn't be

819
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: smart for me to drink.

820
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: Coffee same but sometimes it can help. Maybe I'm diuretic.

821
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: H yeah, I'm good. Just went after the hot dogs

822
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: last week. I'm still mind you.

823
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: I track is still real that everyone that I've seen,

824
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: like personal personal friends and family and all that, have

825
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: all been how's James feeling after the hot Dogs?

826
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think we really ever asked it.

827
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: There's still I.

828
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: Don't think it's been a full recovery. It's like it's

829
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: still things are still not easy down there.

830
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: Do you think you gained any weight from that?

831
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: Probably? I guess you can't. You can't not gain weight

832
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: just from the amount of calories I consume. But I

833
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: don't think it was like my stepping on the scale

834
00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: every day.

835
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: To ask you this question.

836
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: You ate the nine hot Dogs and Mets one Game

837
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: seven in the World Series, you eat nine hot dogs.

838
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: It's the mess have reached game seven in the World Series.

839
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: They won a lot of games without nine hot talks

840
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: being consumed, so ill like throw it to the win

841
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: at that point, What if it's Game three of this series?

842
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: Then they really won a game. What if it's game

843
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: one of this series. I can't eat that hot dogs again. No,

844
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't think we could. I don't think we could

845
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: let you do that. It was it really happened my weekend. Yeah,

846
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: I think that would be a hospital trip on that

847
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: was it? Really there was.

848
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 2: There's a matter effects, doc, Doctor is gonna be like,

849
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be wrong with you in the past.

850
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: What week? Why would you do that? Why would you

851
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: eat eighteen hot dogs in seven days? I don't know, Doc.

852
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: The Mets and the Mets are in the playoffs for

853
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: content baby content, content machines.

854
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I guess to wrap up this

855
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: roster conversation, it's gonna be Trevor Williams most likely, at

856
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: least in our.

857
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: Opinion, just because that's he pitched Ondesday. That's the kind

858
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: of his role.

859
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: The Mariners did that mention yesterday very skillfully with Marco.

860
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 3: They were like, go pitch as much as you.

861
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: Can, and then that was It's valuable for sure, because

862
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: then you're you're gonna be on the d s roster,

863
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: probably one, and then now it's just up to whether

864
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: or not the Mets will carry three catchers and if

865
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: if they're not going to take another picture off, it's

866
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: between Viento's and Terrence sports shirly.

867
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I don't know.

868
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: We'd love to hear what you guys think too, although

869
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: by the time you're listen fighting out, you might already know.

870
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: So those whole last ten minutes, hope you enjoy that.

871
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: Just enjoys some baseball analysis.

872
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: Could have been could have been worthless. I think.

873
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: I think something that's gonna be very important this series

874
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: on both sides is going to be how quick the

875
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: hooks are for each of these managers.

876
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: You gotta be aggressive. You got to be aggressive in

877
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: the postseason. You gotta treat every game like it's the last.

878
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, technically you have three games in

879
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: this series, so game one will never be the last.

880
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you do have to be.

881
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 2: Aggressive if you have the opportunity to make a statement,

882
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: keep the game close, or put the game away. Yeah,

883
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: you gotta be aggressive. Like Edwin Diaz in the seventh thing,

884
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: I don't think she ever be off the table.

885
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: I think that what about earlier than that?

886
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: Early earlier is weirder because then you have so much

887
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: of the game left to go.

888
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: You have to bridge all that. Here's why go Diaz.

889
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: Like in the let's say there's bases loaded, Manny Machado's

890
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: up with two outs, and you just pulled Max Schers

891
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: out of.

892
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: The game, right, I go out of Vino?

893
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: I think, I guess because also you can kind of

894
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: game Macha though, because he's up after so though, so

895
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: we don't have to fear out of the veno against

896
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 3: him as much, and then we could use Diaz.

897
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: But there's also the theory that Otvino has been great

898
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: at the end of the game too. It's also you

899
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: just get your best guy in to get the most

900
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: important out.

901
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: Of the game. Playoff paceball.

902
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: You don't know which moments is gonna be the most

903
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 3: port moment of the game. There could be three runs

904
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: score in the first inning, game been three nothing.

905
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: We did see Kevin Cash, but Nick Anderson in the

906
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: fifth inning against the Yankees two years ago twenty Amy

907
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: won them a series.

908
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: It worked, it was it was important, So I think

909
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he also got Fairbanks to close. Yes,

910
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: but we have to be to be while it looked

911
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: really good too. I mean there's I think it's the

912
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: the idea of pick your poison a little bit.

913
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know that Edwin has probably not coming

914
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: out for the sixties.

915
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: The pitchim in the fifth no, for sure.

916
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 3: It's also just like you kind of have to use

917
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 3: game theory to see how many more times they're coming

918
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: to the plate. Yeah, like we're using in the fifth thing,

919
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: it's gonna be another time in the seventh where they're

920
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 3: coming up and then on.

921
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: So it's like we have our guys to get them.

922
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 3: But at what point is like sures are gonna be

923
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: more effective versusut of the v and O versus Diaz versus

924
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: Jolie Rodriguez, who's been blazing hot since the beginning of August.

925
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: He's gonna be on this roster. Him and David Peterson

926
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: are going to be incredibly important. Joel Rodrigue is going

927
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: to face one so at least once in this series,

928
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: if not more often than that, and then it's gonna

929
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: be the hold your breath to face man and a

930
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: childaway after that. But he's been good against Riley's also

931
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 3: most of the season since August first, he has two

932
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 3: seven y twenty six per track IRA seven percent walk

933
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: grade at that time too. From August he changes picks

934
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: and pitch makes a little bit dramatically significantly more sinkers

935
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: and changes, which are his two best pitches, way less liars,

936
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: almost fully taking them out of the repertoire entirely. Same

937
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 3: with the four scene fastball, which is just unassuming as

938
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: a guest for four seam fastball. The reason chev pretorwg

939
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: straight fastball.

940
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: Joeli Rodriguez in this series has a chance to go what.

941
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: I was about saying, everyone's been saying, where's our left hand?

942
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: He is our left hand, the guy he's been so good.

943
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: He has a chance in this series to go from

944
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 3: like who's the Mets Falkiro.

945
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: Uh, Todd Pratt, Todd Pratt.

946
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 3: I guess he's not a pitcher, he's he's a chance

947
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: to go from a folk Oliver. Yeah, he's a chance

948
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: to go from Darren Oliver to ah, Yeah, it is possible.

949
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: He can be pretty after this, after this postseason run,

950
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 3: he could be perceived from anywhere between those two guys,

951
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 3: anywhere in between Aaron Loop Yeah, literally.

952
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: The discourse when they didn't resign him was as if

953
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: he was the greatest left handed reliever it ever.

954
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 3: Blakey, we we we can leave this Yeries being like Joelerard,

955
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 3: We'll never forget Joel Rodriguez the rest of our lives,

956
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 3: for better or worse. Yeah, no, he's gonna leave a

957
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 3: memorable impact mark or we know it would be really

958
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 3: even better. Crush, just mess, just go up a ton

959
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 3: of runs when the series nineteen four when comes to

960
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 3: the plate, it's irrelevant, it doesn't matter. Just solo home

961
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 3: run ten three mess, tip your cap, nice, put that

962
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 3: on your stats once.

963
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see six times next.

964
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 4: Year, so over three in his career against Joeli Rodriguez.

965
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: By the way, love that.

966
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 4: No strikeouts, one walk, But Joeli's not a big strikeout guy.

967
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 4: Is a soft contact guy.

968
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: We know that twenty six percent a lot better than average.

969
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: Joelie too, he's been striking out guys more. I feel

970
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: like Joel Rodriguez hilariously. I talk about this, I feel

971
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 3: like once a month. One of the funniest examples of

972
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: k K per nine versus strikeout rights. Yeah, because his

973
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 3: innings are so long because of all the walks in

974
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 3: the soft contact.

975
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: So the k Prinine is amazing.

976
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 3: It's like fourteen fifteen Ker nine and I got right,

977
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: it's just a hairbubblye average around twenty six percent.

978
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean really at the end of the day, like,

979
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: I'm just so excited for postseason baseball. I like, I've

980
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,960

Speaker 4: Let's do this great idea. He's like, I'm gonna shorts

1087
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh. And it was like twenty degrees and he's like, dude,

1088
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna shorts. It's gonna be badass and I was like,

1089
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 4: I was like, no, it's just gonna be bad and

1090
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 4: you're gonna feel like as Yeah, for the six hour

1091
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 4: car ride back and he wore a shorts and it

1092
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 4: was absolutely insane, and you know, Brian Shott and Nimer

1093
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 4: had some questionable play calling and things didn't come out

1094
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 4: as we wanted to. But he braved the elements and

1095
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 4: it was a ball or move. So that I'm about that.

1096
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 4: You know, it's like part of the team, you know,

1097
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 4: just putting it out out there, grit.

1098
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: I'll be wearing long Johnson Long.

1099
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 4: John's the No, I know what they are.

1100
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like fifty degrees.

1101
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, John, there's no more John feel that's

1102
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: one of the greatest feelings.

1103
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: Warm, incredible.

1104
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 4: Then you can't go hot chocolate.

1105
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: Then that's too much. It was suppos gonna be sixty degrees.

1106
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 3: I can't really know. Yeah, that's actually true. If you

1107
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 3: I mean they do wal they usually the ballpark. Yeah,

1108
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 3: I guess if you start schwitzing.

1109
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: During a playoffs, Oh, that's the worst. That's a bad deal.

1110
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 2: I'm in the schwitz Just don't you could take off more.

1111
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: You can't put more on once you're here.

1112
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you buy too much heat in the legs,

1113
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: you can't take that off.

1114
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: Okay, that's true, all right, I got two more things

1115
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: for your handwarmers.

1116
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: If it's really cold, like some of how to say

1117
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: football games, I rock the handwarms. What about feet warmers

1118
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: as well? Say I stick them in the ships. That's

1119
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: the pro move. Feet warmers are key.

1120
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 4: So I was here for the Winter Classic in twenty eighteen,

1121
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 4: of course sitting, of course, naturally sitting up in left field.

1122
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 4: My toes I could not feel them for like an

1123
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 4: entire twenty four hours after that game. It was insane.

1124
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 4: And that was the one thing I messed up on.

1125
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 4: I was wearing like six layers, seven layers, two pairs

1126
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 4: of gloves, hat, winter jacket. I didn't have enough insulation

1127
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 4: in the feet, and those piggies they were numb for

1128
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 4: a while.

1129
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: I even I dread the winter because I have very

1130
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: poor circulation, so my hands and feet get really cold.

1131
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: Like I get de pins and needles on a January days.

1132
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: That's tough.

1133
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: In the ft, it's awful. Sorry, yeah, it's really cold.

1134
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 2: I got last walk then.

1135
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: And this is this, This could be the most honeymail

1136
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: one bring a blanket to the game. I won't bring

1137
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: a blanket to the game. John's in I've done it.

1138
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: I've done it. Brings the blanket, the cushion.

1139
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: I gotta say, it's such a good move, such a

1140
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: good move.

1141
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: It changes everything you sit. I've never done it, but

1142
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hate it. It's it warms you up, it

1143
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: keeps you nice and toasty.

1144
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 3: There was a funny picture of some one of our

1145
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: friends from high school, Mike and his mom Linda. They

1146
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: made like Yankees dot calm like for a playoff game,

1147
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 3: like sitting like all the way in the upper deck

1148
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 3: with a massive blanket, big hats, like looking freezing.

1149
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: I mean, the postseason baseball weather is awesome, especially on

1150
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 2: the East Coast.

1151
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: You go out to l A, it's like still seventy degrees.

1152
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: That's it's not playoff.

1153
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: That's why they only win like a third of the

1154
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 2: World Series show twenty seven percent, I believe. But East

1155
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: Coast postseason weather is amazing, and there is there is

1156
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: no better look in baseball than the hooded sweatshirt with

1157
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 2: the jersey on top.

1158
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: That's just I do prime. You guys mentioned going to

1183
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Briefly, didn't end well, didn't end well, quickly, quickly,

1184
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 2: three hours off.

1185
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: Connter Gillespie can't forget him Garner.

1186
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've actually had a confession. I left that game

1187
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 4: right after the home run sailed out of the park.

1188
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: I was out.

1189
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: I don't blame I was out. That's that's a big

1190
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: John move.

1191
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: Shout out to my friend Gabrams. It was a random rule.

1192
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: I just happened to be a Mets fan from Philly,

1193
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 2: which is crazy because Philly. But I was watching that

1194
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: game at his apartment and that happened, and we didn't

1195
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: We didn't speak to each other for like ten minutes.

1196
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 2: It was just silent, and then I think I was like,

1197
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go and just left.

1198
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 4: It didn't matter.

1199
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: My friend Ryan, I mentioned this show before he went

1200
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: out on my porch. We watched it.

1201
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 2: Together in my house, and he just screamed for like

1202
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 2: two straight minutes about right like Jude, I had had

1203
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: like a porch post, like a thing on like between

1204
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 2: the porch and like the the world.

1205
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: He just pounded his hands.

1206
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: Postseasons where these these folk heroes are created, definitely have

1207
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: a few, no doubt for sure.

1208
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: John, Yeah, I know we want to talk about that

1209
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. You had a quiz for us, right, yeah.

1210
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 4: So I mean I just want to I just want

1211
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 4: to run through it or see if you guys can

1212
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 4: run through the starting lineups for both teams. And then

1213
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 4: I've got a very very pivotal stat that I think

1214
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 4: will help the Mets through this entire postseason run.

1215
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: We'll get that after he could win a tie a

1216
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:01,920

00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: by one, all right? One by one? TJ. Rivera. J.

1240
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 4: Rivera was the starting second baseman. He was the starting

1241
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 4: shortstop bat second that night. Chris Granerson, he was the

1242
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 4: starting left fielder. He had clean up.

1243
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be the leadoff.

1244
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 4: Hitter, but he wasn't because the lead off hitter was

1245
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 4: there's a tough one.

1246
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: Oh you never want the lead off hitterer to be

1247
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: a tough one. Man. The leadoff hitter that night, Yeah,

1248
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't. Was it gonna be like, is it an outfielder?

1249
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 4: No?

1250
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Who was?

1251
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 4: This is a really tough one. And it's also not

1252
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 4: a tough one. And when I say who it is,

1253
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 4: You're gonna be like, oh.

1254
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,080

1255
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,759

1256
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: Want anyone much more names than the roster? Who is it?

Speaker 4: Was Jose Rays playing third base that night that was coming.

1259
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 3: That would be really funny to be like, who hit

1260
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 3: leadoff in the last Mets postseason game?

1261

1279
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: Forget this is the easiest one. Huh, don't seem that easy.

1280
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 4: That was that was this season when that was the

1281
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 4: same year when he ruined. Yeah, it was like the

1282
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 4: very end of April, I think, and he went over

1283
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 4: for four.

1284
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: Yes, he was the left field there. Of course, couldn't

1285
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: forget that one right field.

1286
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is funny, he was righty, I know

1288
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,640

1289
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 4: but he was there. So this is not going to

1290
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:01,520

Speaker 1: I only know. Well.

1293
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 4: I knew this because I saw the Gillaspie home run yesterday,

1294
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 4: I think, and it sailed over this guy's head as

1295
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 4: he's going back to the wall, and I was like, oh, yeah,

00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: He was the right field there.

1298
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 4: Oh and you know who it is now?

1300
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,400

1306
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: He had a nice little career with the Mets. We

1307
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: got to keep random, we did get to keep britten him.

1308
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,600

1310
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 4: hitters in that game. And for some bonus points because

1311
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:45,959
Speaker 4: you guys can.

1312
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: Use him here. Yeah, we could really know, we're really

1313
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: showing that. We don't nothing. It was a long time ago,

1314
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: but I don't see something in front of me on

1315
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: my computer screen. It's harder.

1316
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 3: The team was also such a catastrophe the whole last

1317
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: two months. It was everything that's going on.

1318
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: It was because Seth Lugo Robert Gselm put the team

1319
00:47:59,120 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 2: on their back.

1320
00:47:59,719 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1321
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 2: Literally, great start after great start, That's why they made

1322
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

1323
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: Even pinch hitter, let's go with who who do I

1324
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: think was playing third base?

1325
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 4: A real hint one of them is the last guy

1326
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 4: is not a hand correct? The last met with the

1327
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 4: playoff hit. I cannot wait for that to be a

1328
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 4: sponge tomorrow.

1329
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: No offense.

Speaker 4: So yeah, just the center fielder. You guys got the

1354
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 4: Giants quicker than the Mets.

1355
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: I guess the Giants.

1356
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,520

1358
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: center field for them? This is a tough one. This

1359
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: is a tough one.

1360
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,239

Speaker 2: do I know the Giants so much better?

1366
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: Crush the Giants? Mets was debatably bad. It was objectively awful.

1367
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: Fifteen team. You look back at them too, and you go,

1368
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: they made it to the World Series. Huh.

1369
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 3: There was one year between TJ Very playing with the

1370
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 3: Long Island Ducks and the midleag Baseball postseason the mat

1371
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:11,080

Speaker 1: He hung around for a while. No, he had Tommy John.

1373
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had Tommy John. Yeah, and I don't think

1374
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 4: he ever fully recovered from You could always mash.

1375
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 2: And this is how we're gonna kind of wrap up

1376
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: this one. This Mets team is so much better than

1377
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 2: those two Mets teams have been listed. So if you

1378
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 2: have faith in those, you just have faith in this team.

1379
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: No doubt. This is Mets team is good.

1380
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 3: And like I said, we're gonna put the above average

1381
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 3: hither almost every single position.

1382
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: Tomorrow. We got one of the best pictures of our

1383
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: generation on the mound. One hundred and one.

00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 3: We have we have a bolt we have arrested bullpen.

1385
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 3: That's effective. We have a we have a deep bench

1386
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 3: of guys who can come off and do different things.

1387
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: What we've been waiting for. This is it. This is it.

1388
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 3: You gotta go out there, crush the padre, set the tone,

1389
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 3: and keep moving on real quick.

1390
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 4: Let me let me drop this in.

1393
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 4: I kept tracking and it was a trend that continued

1394
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 4: with this Mets team. And I'm excited about it. And

1395
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 4: it's hitting with two I like that. Last season in

1396
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one, the team that had the highest two

1397
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 4: strike batting average in baseball was the Houston ash Stros,

1398
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 4: since they won.

1399
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: The American League Pennant.

1400
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 4: Now let's go to twenty twenty. The team that had

1401
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 4: the second highest batting average in two strike counts was

1402
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Dodgers. They won the entire damn thing.

1403
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 4: Let's go to twenty nineteen. In twenty nineteen, the Houston

1404
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 4: Astros had the highest batting average in two strike counts.

1405
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 4: They won the American League Pennant. Now let's go to

1406
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen. The trend continues. Twenty eighteen, the Boston Red

1407
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 4: Sox had the highest two strike average in the major

1408
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 4: leagues and they won the World Series that year. I

1409
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 4: don't know if it goes back to twenty seventeen. I

1410
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 4: think twenty eighteen. Is it does twenty seventeen, guess who

1411
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 4: led the major leagues in two strike batting average. I

1412
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 4: forget the cheating. It was the Houston Ash Shows and

1413
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 4: then there was the Boston Red Sox. So I believe

1414
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 4: the Ash Shows beat yep that, No, I was twenty eighteen.

1415
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 4: I only the Red Socks made the playoffs that year.

1416
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: Okay, who the Astros beat that? I only remember them.

1417
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, they beat the I forget that. But still the

1418
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 4: Astros that year led baseballs in batting average in two

1419
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 4: strike counts. And then the Cubs in twenty sixteen. We're seventh,

1420
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 4: not number one or two, but still very respectable.

1421
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 1: Fifteen.

1422
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I know the Royals put the wrong play aft.

1423
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.

1424
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 4: I'll check right now.

1425
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: Series they never struck out.

1426
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 4: Oh guess what the Royals were second and two strike

1427
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 4: batting average that season.

1428
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: Indication of a good team really is.

1429
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 4: And this time of the year we said it last

1430
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 4: night when you don't let if posing pitchers put you away,

1431
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 4: and you grind and you work and you work, and

1432
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 4: every single pitch and every single ninety feet matters.

1433
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: You guys just heard it. I draggled it all off.

1434
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 4: It's a trend and it seems to be real.

1435
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: So we'll see if the trend plays out. Feeling good,
