00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: the series from the New York Mets two out of

00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,720

16
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: How we do and how we feeling?

17
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: Doing good? Feeling better? This Mets Mariner series is kind

18
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: of funny because a few times during this weekend where

19
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: we went back and we talked about the last time

20
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: the Mariners visited the Mets, and that was last year

21
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: in May. The famous series where you were, Patrick Musik

22
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: at the home run off of Andre's Munio's and you

23
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: said that you'd have to name your second born son

24
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: firstborn son, Patrick if you were doing it, firstborn, Yeah, seconds, Albert.

25
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: I forgot Albert because our pool seven touches home run

26
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: when you were there, and I remember Darren from the

27
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: seven line he put you a TikTok with the curb

28
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: enthusiasm music. And thinking back to that last year, just

29
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: again to like paint the differences of these seasons, that

30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: was weirdly, I believe the first time all year the

31
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Mets actually lost a series, or at least lost a

32
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: series at home. And now this year the Mets have

33
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: had not the best season and a little bit worse

34
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: of a second half while the manager has been highest

35
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: team baseball were fourteen at seventeen just entering the game

36
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and they must take a series from them.

37
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: So that's just baseball, Susan. It's kind of funny to

38
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: think about where these teams are, where they were like,

39
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: and where they're going.

40
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mets are playing spoiler a little bit. I know

41
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: we didn't take the series from the Rangers, but like

42
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: even taking one from them, kind of kind of mess

43
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: them up a little bit, and they haven't really been

44
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: playing good baseball. I think they've lost two to the Twins,

45
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: right I think they've lost two in a row. And

46
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on on Sunday, but right

47
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: now the Al West, the Mariners are still in first

48
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: place by half a game, but the Mets taken these

49
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: these wins. I mean, the Asher has been playing terribly

50
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: against the Yankees. The Rangers haven't been playing well. The

51
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: Mariners kind of get a little lucky too as well.

52
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's funny also because think about that, Like

53
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: we played the series against the Rangers earlier this week.

54
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: The Ranger has been one of the coldest teams, not

55
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: just in American League, all baseball the last few weeks.

56
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: They've been struggling to win games. And that series is

57
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: the one we get close and they beat us. Now

58
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: this one the Marina, It's just it's funny. Baseball's funny September.

59
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: It's like this is the month we're kind of anything

60
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: can happen as that month does turn, and it's just

61
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: it's just a weird season gets weirder and weirder and weirder.

62
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: But we're looking at.

63
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: It my neighbors. My neighbors are I'm jumping up and down.

64
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: They gotta be jumping off the couch right now. I

65
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: gotta go up there, and I think talk to them

66
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: today and just be like, hey, knock. I can hear

67
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: everything that's going on upstairs. And it's not like just

68
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: like a little walk in. It's like jumping and running

69
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: a little, a little dribbling basketball every once in a while,

70
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: shooting hoops. I don't know what it is, but it's

71
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: it's tough to sleep.

72
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, personal saga for Mark, who is a nocturnal creature.

73
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: His neighbors upstairs make a ton of noise, especially early

74
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: on in the morning, so he's been dealing with that.

75
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: It's just a little, you know, sideshow for the for

76
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: the podcast. But exciting things are happening in the mess

77
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: world on Friday, as they called up Rodan Marisio to

78
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: make his major league debut during Just for a September

79
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: call ups, along with Brett Bailey, as Mark said, being

80
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: recalled and Jose Budo coming back up to the club.

81
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: So a lot of people were intendants on Friday. Wayne

82
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: Rendazzo in dout, Tro Woltz was there for the Apple

83
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: Music game, said, how is Sarah Langs hanging out down

84
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: by the field. A lot of a huge contingency at

85
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: Ryders media people all trying to get a piece of

86
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: Ronnie for his first career game. We got there and

87
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: saw batting practice, saw him hitting just ropes over the

88
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: fence from both sides of the play. It also saw

89
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: Bret Bailey because he always takes the most impressive batting

90
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: practices on Earth. Ronnie also is wearing these super crispy,

91
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: clean pink New Balance cleads for his debut as well.

92
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: Just good luck swagged out and he came up really

93
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: ready to play right away.

94
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: Oh one hundred percent. I mean the first a bat

95
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: of Ronnie Maurisio's career, he not only gets a hit,

96
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: but he gets a double. One hundred and seventeen point

97
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: three miles per hour, the hardest hit ball by a

98
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: Met this season, hartsted ball since twenty twenty one by

99
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: a Met, which is kind of crazy, and only four

100
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: Mets have hit a ball at least one hundred and

101
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: fifty miles an hour since twenty eighteen. James told me

102
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: to guess this one, so I know that Alonzo and Maurisio.

103
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Are gonna two of them? The other guesses? I mean,

104
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with who did James McCann Nope, not

105
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Tommy Fam Nope, it.

106
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Was Tommy Fam. What happened this year? And this was

107
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: the hardest hip on this year? Oh yeah that's true. Yeah,

108
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: I know you're right, right, But I asked you the

109
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: guess this because it's two guys who one of them

110
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: should be obvious, but it's gonna be hard to guess.

111
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: And one of them is going to be so impossible

112
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: to guess. That's like not even funny.

113
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: Was Ryan Cordell on here your boy?

114
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: I wish god? I miss Ryan Cordell.

115
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna take two more guesses. Francisco Avarez? Was

116
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: he one of them?

117
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: He was not one of them? Wow?

118
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: And I'm missing who?

119
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Could this be really obvious? Like in the text? Can

120
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: be really upset you don't get it. The other one

121
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: is not really obvious. Gonna be really funny when you

122
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: when I tell you we're Oh, let's go with DJ

123
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: Sewart No, yeah, I think think who is back? A

124
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: few years ago? I extended this. I extended this twenty eighteen.

125
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking you a few years ago, Cespadez,

126
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: was he one of them? He's one of them. Yes,

127
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: that's the obvious one. Nice okay, and then the not

128
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: so hard on one more guests, I'm gonna go with

129
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: Aaron al Tare. It's not Aaron Altair. We were looking

130
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: for Carlos Gomez in eighteen. Carlos Gomez similar time, though,

131
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: Is Aaron al Tair so exactly the same vibe? I'm

132
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: back on Baseball Savant right now because i want to

133
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: get the day it was, because I want to say

134
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: it was that early season home run hitt against Nationals

135
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: that was like the mo that was like an epic moment.

136
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: But I'm checking back right now.

137
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean speaking on Ronnie's hit though the ball

138
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: jumped off the bat. We were there, we were sitting

139
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: in left field, and when he hit it, me and

140
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: you both like looked at each other and the screamed

141
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: like holy and then profanity. It was noticeably hit harder

142
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 2: one seventeen, like smacked each other at that point in time.

143
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: That was harder than Ronald Acunya or Aaron Judge had

144
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: hit a ball this season. A Kunya last night hit

145
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: one one one so that was quickly quickly dispelled and

146
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: taken away. But I mean, just impressive Ronny Mariizio can

147
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: do from a shear strength standpoint.

148
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you even kind of saw it, like how

149
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: hard he hit the ball, the trajectory being so obscure

150
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: it kind of baffled ta Oskar Hernandez trying to field

151
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: the ball in right field where he kind of like

152
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: took a half a step in and they he just

153
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: froze because like, I think it's coming really really hard

154
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: and hit the wall with like very special thump that

155
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: you don't really hear very often for balls off the wall.

156
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: And also he said it was the hardest hit ball

157
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: by a Met this year. That is true. This is

158
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: the hardest hit ball by a Met since August nineteenth,

159
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, So we're going back two full years

160
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: before since a Met has hit the ball a least

161
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: one hundred seventeen point three miles an hour. And it's

162
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: you get you kind of see the physical tools on

163
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: this play for Ronning Risio, and you do kind of

164
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: see why he was such a herald's international free agent,

165
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: why he was such a herald of prospect when he

166
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: first came up why he's had so much buzz around

167
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: him for the last year plus as he's really got

168
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: himself back on track in the upper miners and it's

169
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: just oozing with potential. There's so much here that could happen.

170
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: He's such a he's such a lanky, tall, talented, strong

171
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: ball of clay that could probably become a pretty feared

172
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: power hitter. Things go well, yeah, I mean, we'll talk

173
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: about it a series a little bit as we go on.

174
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: But he looks very ready. He looked very calm. It

175
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: didn't look like the moment was too big for him.

176
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes these guys get called up, they get a little

177
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: like in their head. You're in New York playing in

178
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: for a big team. There's a lot that could be

179
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: going on. That just makes it feel a little bit

180
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: more like there's more pressure. Bryan Maurrisio seemed calm, confident.

181
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: He got the second base. He took his helmet off

182
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: before he even touched the base, put his arms up.

183
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: I think he blew a kiss to his family, started

184
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: pointing to the mets on the shirt like electric City,

185
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: Electric City. The fans in the ballpark were super excited,

186
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: and the Ronnie Mauricio debut. It's finally happened. He's here,

187
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: and I can't imagine he's going anywhere anytime soon.

188
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't feel like that. There was also a

189
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: cool moment in then that bat that got him to

190
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: the hundred seventeen mile an hours double. That was I

191
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: think almost and I can say he's more impressive because

192
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: having at the time the eleventh tarest hitball in all baseball.

193
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: He's like, incredibly impressive. Not much you could do before

194
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: in that bat. We'll do anything for you. But it

195
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: was just the fact that Mauricio the kind of warrant

196
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: against him, and the thing is he struggles apparently with

197
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: ends a data backs up for My League of swing

198
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: decisions and being able to identify pitches at of the

199
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: strikes lay off them. And he was facing Logan Gilbert,

200
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: who has two really good breaking balls, any good fastball,

201
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: he's good. He's a really good pitcher, someone who has

202
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: really ascended to being a clean, like top thirty, top

203
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: thirty five pitcher in all of baseball as you get

204
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: ready for your rankings in a few months, but Gilbert

205
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: started him off a nod to the rookie who has

206
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: a lot of talent with a slider right like just

207
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: dropped over the middle for a call strike. And then

208
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: he dropped a curveball below the knees that Ronnie ended

209
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: up taking was one to one, and then he threw

210
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: a slyther low and inside in the strike zone that

211
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Lonnie took. Ryan took a big hack on. He whiffed

212
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: on it. So then now the pitcher, I'm not gonna say,

213
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert is a veteran, but I think this is

214
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: his third fourth year in the league, so he's becoming

215
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: a veteran, much more veteran than Ryan. Marizio is up

216
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: one two on a hither and this first at bat

217
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: his entire major league career, playing in New York in

218
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: front of the home crowd with a lot of hype

219
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: around him, and after he threw him a slyder that

220
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: he swung and misted on inside the zone, he dropped

221
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: one about three or four inches lower. It's still low

222
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: and inside, but below the knees, and Ronnie took like

223
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: a little of kind of a little jolt at it,

224
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: and they stopped me laid off, and then that got

225
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: him the two to two pitch that he hit for

226
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: the double up the gap and I think that is

227
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: a critical moment for endom Retio to be able to

228
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, understand what the understanding situation more

229
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: than the moment, and take a tough pitch and then

230
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: do his damage. And then Levi and Dame hit another

231
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: one hundred mile an hour single.

232
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think we talked about a lot

233
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: on the podcast throughout the season about like what could

234
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 2: be keeping Ryan your ratio down, what he has to

235
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: work on right, and a lot of it was swing

236
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: decision patience, just played discipline in general. One thing he

237
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: doesn't really do that much is strike out. His strikeout

238
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: rates dropped this season, which was always great, but he's

239
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: probably never gonna be a guy that walked. And we

240
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: even saw it in Game three where he had a

241
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: three to zero count and he took a hack. He

242
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: took a hack, put the ball and play hit it hard.

243
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: But I don't even think like it's as much as

244
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: like Ryan Risio can't walk like Javier Bias a little bit,

245
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: where Haaby Bayas has like some horrible swing decisions, chases

246
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: the worst pitches in the world, looks disinterested at times

247
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: at the plate. I think is Toroni's just uber aggressive

248
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: and kind of just jumps on pitches if you make

249
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: a mistake. It seems like he's gonna try his best

250
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: to make you pay for it, which would lead to

251
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: maybe why he's not as patient because what we've seen,

252
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: obviously there's gonna be times where you chase balls out

253
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: of the zone. But I've been impressed so far with

254
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: his plate display.

255
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the thing about Ronnie is that I think

256
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: the hit tool is probably a little underrated just because

257
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: there was always so much swing and missing his game.

258
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a battle going on in the

259
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: scouting in day of the world right now between whether

260
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: guy's a good hit tool just because they put the

261
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: bat in the ball a lot and sprayed a lot,

262
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: or whether they have a good hit tool base is

263
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: how much damage they can do up pitches inside the

264
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: zone compared to laying off pitches outside his zone. I

265
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: think that does still remain to be seeing with Ronnie.

266
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a steady die of breaking balls, There's

267
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, and we're going to see a

268
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of that, even just the first two games, because

269
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Savon hasn't updated for a Sunday's game yet. He got

270
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: forty five percent breaking balls now with thirty five percent

271
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: fast balls, which is a little bit twisted off the

272
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: season the league averages. But there's just again, there's so

273
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: much fun to be had here. With Ryan and Rechow's profile,

274
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot that can happen. I really hope

275
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: he gets an extended run over these next few weeks

276
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: and we can see everything that happens, because he also

277
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: looked pretty good the infield. He spun a couple of

278
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: double players. We're gonna talk about it from Sunday, but

279
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: him and physical and door turns a really great double

280
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: play when Tyler Gill was in trouble on Julia Rodriguez,

281
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: you could just see that he has that you know

282
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: that shortstops arm at second base, and just how big

283
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: he is where he took he took a twist and

284
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: just the received to Pelonzo first base just came it hot.

285
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: And so many physical tools here. Like baseball's one thing,

286
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: but when you get a guy who like again looks

287
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: like an NFL wide receiver out there, like you can

288
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: really you could just elevating think about the potential.

289
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is watching the Mets game, going, man,

290
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: I'd like to throw to him across the middle, he

291
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: gets some.

292
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: Yards as long as he can learn the playbook, Aaron

293
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: and Rodgers needs to trust his receivers. We know that.

294
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: But other highlight of Friday's game because it turned out

295
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: to be a real, real, tightly contested when a pitcher's duel,

296
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: and that's because CODEI Sanga was completely lights out for

297
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: the Mets again, turning into an ace before our very

298
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: eye set the tone early in the game where he

299
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: gave JP Crawford fastball ghost for ghosts, Fork struck him

300
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: out in three pitches. JP would get him for a

301
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: home run the next set bat and they did have

302
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: a pretty big series here, but just felt that early

303
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: on the Koya Sang would have it his control command

304
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: wave a little bit, especially his fastball in the middle innings,

305
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: but it's still never even got close to causing a

306
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: problem for him. Wounded up going seven innings, five hits,

307
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: only one in and round on that. JP Crawford solo

308
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: home run, two walks, twelve strikeouts, twelve strikeouts tied his

309
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: career high, third time he's done that this season, and

310
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: that's now back to back games for called with double

311
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: digit strikeouts and.

312
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: What's funny too, is watching this in the ballpark. There

313
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: were like times where we're like, oh, man, he's just

314
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: not as sharp as he has been in the past,

315
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: Like something just feels like it's a tiny little bit off.

316
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: And then you look at the box score at the

317
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: end of the day, you're like, oh, we thought he

318
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: was off, and he shuck out twelve and gave it

319
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: five hits and wondered and run against one of the

320
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: hottest teams in baseball. Like he's just been everything and better.

321
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: And we got to speak to him last week when

322
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: we did the DJ Stewart interview. What you guys can

323
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: see on YouTube and on our podcast feed, the code

324
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: I Sangle one should be coming out, I assume at

325
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: some point this upcoming week. But just being able to

326
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: talk with him about like the adjustments he's made and

327
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: how he's been feeling about New York. I mean, the

328
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: guy's comfortable and it seems like he's really starting to

329
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 2: figure things out and like understand what it takes to

330
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: be a great picture in the major leagues.

331
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. And you guys hear me say

332
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: that every episode. But that big adjustment was him turning

333
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: to this color and using a lot more. This was

334
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: the least he'd thrown it in about a month and

335
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: a half. It's kind of, I guess, kind of get

336
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: away from it. You guys will hear that in the interview,

337
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: him talking about when he's using that color more and

338
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: when he's using it less. But that pitch up top

339
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: with his fastball and his go for three headed monster

340
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: has just completely changed him as a pitchers. Walk rate's fallen,

341
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: k raid's gone up. He hasn't allowed more than three

342
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: earned runs in two and a half months, which is

343
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: just an insane thing to think about. Since he faced

344
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, which I say every single time, he still

345
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: hasn't done more than that. It's also now five straight

346
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: starts with the code that completing at least six innings,

347
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: which is something that we thought was gonna be the

348
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: biggest hurler from the climb at the beginning of the year,

349
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: and now he's doing it regularly. It's down to the

350
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: sixth lowest earned run average in baseball, the sixth highest

351
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: strike ray in baseball. It's becoming a little ridiculous. How

352
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: good he is.

353
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no's he's great, one hundred percent. Like he's gonna

354
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: get some cy young votes code Ace love to have

355
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: him on the Mets, and then kind of just putting

356
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: a little bow tie on this one. Brandon Nimmo home run,

357
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: twentieth home run in the season, five home runs in

358
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: his last I think like eighteen or twenty games. He's

359
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: really been swinging the bat well, especially against the Mariners.

360
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: Had a nice series and then Vogie the guy, the man.

361
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been great ever since that mental health break.

362
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: We said it every episode pretty much since then because

363
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: he has been good. He's been noteworthy to talk about

364
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: go ahead single, scoring lindor just good stuff all around,

365
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: good win for the Mets, the kind of thing that

366
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: like I'm sure a lot of us Mets fans saw,

367
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: were like, man Like, if the record was a little

368
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: bit different, like this win would have made even more

369
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: sense of just like September baseball playing the Mariners big game,

370
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: and the Mets were just.

371
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: Better and it was genuinely just a fun night in

372
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: the ballpark, Like it was a big crowd there. I

373
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: think a lot of it just because holiday weekend, last

374
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: Friday before school starts for all the kids out there,

375
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: and Ronnie's debut. Really nice weather, it was. It was

376
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: a good vibe, black jerseys. People were into it. It

377
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: was a very fun night to be as a ballpark. Also,

378
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: shout out listener Emily hung out here for the last

379
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: few winnings. Longtime listener to the show. Great, great friend,

380
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: someone Who's someone Who's Someone's made us laugh a couple

381
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: of times.

382
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, a few times, a few times for sure. Game

383
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: one was great, moving on to Game two. Of course,

384
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: this was not the one that they ended up winning.

385
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: We were also a little, a little probably more focused

386
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: on college football as it was Opening weekend. James had

387
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: a big game Ohio State versus Indiana, and as you

388
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: guys know, him and John made a side bet. John

389
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: is not here because he was working today. He was

390
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: at the Citey Field, so we don't know if he's

391
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: gonna be joining us or not, but Ohio safer Indiana.

392
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: James and John made a little bet, a little friendly

393
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: bet for the podcast, and it was what minus thirty

394
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: and a half for Ohio State, right James, yep, minus

395
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: thirty and a half. Ohio State had to cover whoever

396
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: loses the bet because of course John's and Indiana guy

397
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: James is a Buckeye. Whoever loses the bet has to

398
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: do a wet podcast the next time we are in

399
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: person and James, what was the final score of that game?

400
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Bucky's only won by twenty points. And again, since you guys,

401
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: we know how much you guys hate when we talk

402
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: about college football, and the start the timer right now

403
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: two minutes talk about college football, so you guys can

404
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: just hammer that fifteen second button if you want. But

405
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State looked like trash in this opening week in Indiana.

406
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: It was terrible. A few Buck Eye listeners out there

407
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: are we're gonna be appreciating this segment. Shout out Sam,

408
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: but it was a terrible's terrible game. Ohio State is

409
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: no quarterback play. It feels like a mid major. Now

410
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: we're on the same level as these schools like Penn

411
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: State and the other Dame who have been majors for a

412
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: very long time, Texas, these other mid majors in the country.

413
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: And it's a shame. It's a real shame because looks

414
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be a bad season for the buck guys,

415
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: first in a long time. It's also so bittersweet that

416
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State extended a nation high nine game winning streak

417
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: over Indiana. Hasn't lost Indiana and like since the nineteen nineties,

418
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: and it's still they couldn't cover. So I still have

419
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: to lose his bet to John. I'n't have to take

420
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: a like take a full shower in the stadium before

421
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: the podcast. Is gonna be so terrible Next Thursday, after

422
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: the Diamonback series and you know, I State Trevian Henderson

423
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: looked like he was running in mud. Comic Cord was inaccurate.

424
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: He couldn't push the ball down the field. He didn't

425
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: look confident. Devin Brown, who apparently was gonna split time,

426
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: barely even got to throw. And he did get a throw,

427
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: he looked incredibly unimpressive and small. It was running number

428
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: thirty three. I know a lot of you guys aren't

429
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State fans, but if you're a fan of any

430
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: football team in any level ever, high school, pop warn

431
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: or NFL college, you see a guy take the snap

432
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: as number thirty three, You're like, that's not a quarterback.

433
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: What's he doing taking the snap? Is that a full

434
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: back as a linebacker? Is that a backup receiver? As

435
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: I got in the practice squad, I don't know where

436
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: it is so really disappointing Saturday, even though like again,

437
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: like James shut out Ohio State one by twenty, you're

438
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: talking about disappointing it one.

439
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of where I want to go.

440
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know, But it's just it sucks that

441
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: like your team that was mill I don't know, milliseconds

442
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: away from winning a national championship, and now you're a

443
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: team that's gonna be stuck with the big majors like

444
00:16:59,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: Penn State another day.

445
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah no, you'll be playing in an insignificant bowl game

446
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: really with me and South Carolina as well, because losing

447
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: to North Carolina first not easy? What do we got

448
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: on that timer? By the way, how much can I

449
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 2: talk about the game?

450
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: Cocks here? Nineteen seconds left.

451
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: Nineteen seconds offensive line, defensive line did not show up.

452
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: Spencer Rattler looked great, Shaneiember's still my coach, but stunk

453
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: to lose that one, especially against the fake Carolina, which

454
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: is the North Carolina tar Heels. We all know the

455
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: real Carolina is in the South.

456
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: Time's a good time, great job, and that's our two

457
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: minutes talk about colleg footballre gonna set that time or

458

459
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: hate it, but we Sti'll want to talk about it

460
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna be watching a lot of it. But

461
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: Game two against the Mariners, we had, you know, two

462
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: TV's going and we're watching South Carolina and then met

463

Speaker 1: at the same time, shout out of shout out the

464
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: Robling Sports Club, great spot to watch sports and Brooks. Yes,

465
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: David Pearson anothery're just another very David Pearson start. Did

466
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: the only way you can describe these from now on

467
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: because it's just so weird. Yeah, I've paid the attention

468
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: to a lot of other baseball but I don't really see

469
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: any other picture doing that David Pearson does every time

470
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: out where he misses so many bats and has moments

471
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: where it looks like guys cannot touch him, but then

472
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: it gets really in a fish and guys just start

473
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: teeing off on him or gives up walks. This game,

474
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: no walks, no walks on him, but a few few

475
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: long balls task Hernandez hit won and something that was

476
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: cool in this game. Just looking for the little adjustments

477
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: that David Peterson's making as we move along here this season,

478
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: getting his extended run change up, different change up this

479
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: time out, a couple a little bit harder, and it

480
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: was moving a lot more four more inches of drop

481
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: and two more inches of fade on it than the

482
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: season averages. And it got a lot more whists in

483
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: this game. And the slider also looked very good through

484
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: that one harder as well and a little bit tighter,

485
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: but still with some drops. So interesting. Four innings pitch

486
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: four on runs is not a start that you're gonna

487
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: be riding home about, but just trying to look inside

488
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: of what he's doing and seeing little adjustments that are happening.

489
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: I think we were talking about it at the bar.

490
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: We were like, how does he even get the whiffs though?

491
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 2: And get hit like that? Like it's just so not

492
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: linear at all, because like usually like you get swings

493
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: and misses, you don't get hit. He's doing the swing

494
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: and miss thing but getting hit. Very difficult to kind

495
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: of decipher what's exactly going on there, But I'll take

496
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: the positives there. Swing and miss stuff, there's always something

497
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: to work with. It's hard to teach someone to make

498
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: you miss bats. He's doing that at least.

499
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a conundrum for sure. And I look back

500
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: at him at the stuff plus model, you know, there's

501
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: a stuff plus model on fangrafts and his slider had

502
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: the best rating it had And he started this season

503
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: and the change up was moving up as well, and

504
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: the sinker was moving up as well. Also had an

505
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: extra inches fait on it. So I don't know, I

506
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: didn't don't know what the change was, but just seeing

507
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: some little things happening is something to keep an eye on.

508
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: Before we talk about the offense, about a little Sean

509
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: Reid Foley loved too. We've been talking about him last

510
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: few episodes. Just looks like he might be like a

511
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: pretty good arm in this bullpen. We talked about like

512
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 2: getting creative with relievers and getting guys out here who

513
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: got a little little gas, a little heat, a little

514
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: fire under there, you know in their heart. Sean Reid

515
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 2: Foley's got that. He comes out screaming every single time.

516
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: But he's a little crazy. But he looked great so far.

517
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, worst case there shown Red Foley thinks he's the

518
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: best player in the field at all times. I like

519
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: that energy as relieving. You kind of need that little

520
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: bit of dog in you, that kind of craziness to

521
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: keep to stay hot every single adding. But he hasn't

522
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: given up a run five ine ex pension as he

523
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: came back up, and he's striking out nearly fifty percent

524
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: of the hits he's facing. And I just talked about stuff.

525
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: Plus again, it's a free model. It's on Fangraphs. It

526
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: kind of gives you a score for every single picture.

527
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: Drive Line has their own, some other people who do

528
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: pitch modeling have their own. And Fangrasses comes from you know,

529
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: sarahs who's right for the athletic Jean Rie Foley's fastball, slider,

530
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: and change up are all well by average best stuff.

531
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: Plus he's become based on stuff plus the Mets one

532
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: of the mets best relievers in its entire season. And

533
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: he's also throwing a whole line now harder than he

534
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: ever has in his career. So looks like there might

535
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: be something with Sean rief Foley. It's funny talking about

536
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: this guy two years later, but it's like he's back

537
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: and there is something here and he's still in their contract.

538
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he will be a Met. Well, he's under contract

539
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: with the Mets until twenty twenty seven, the twenty twenty

540
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: seven offseason, so there's a lot of control over him.

541
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 2: Looking for the future, Bullpet arms here. I think Sean

542
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: Reid Foley is probably gonna be sticking around for a

543
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: little bit.

544
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. And then back to the offense said that loud.

545
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: It was like Luis Castillo, Mets are gonnaally struggle to

546
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: hit him, and Mark was like, now the Met's a

547
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: definitely gonna hit Castillo today, And the Mets smacked Louis

548
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: Castillo around for one of his worst starts of literally

549
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: the entire season. Marlin, the Marins digken onto a lead early,

550
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: like Seve before. They got four runs off of Peterson,

551
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: but DJ Stewart, the Man, the Myth, the Legend, hit

552
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: a big three run home run the fourth tied the game.

553
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: He's got the fifth highest WRC plus and Baseball since

554
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 1: August first. He's only behind Julio Rodriguez, Mookie Batts, Bryce Harper,

555
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: and Marcelo Zuna.

556
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: I was watching a video by a YouTuber called and

557
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: That's Baseball the other day, and he was talking about

558
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: lynd sanity runs in baseball, So you have like Yermin

559
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: Mercedes had a crazy one. Matt Shoemaker had like a

560
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: crazy little stretch where he was like a dominant pitcher.

561
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: Even David Freeze's like World Series run, which was incredible,

562
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: like the Lynd Sandy runs a baseball. DJ Stewart's on

563
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: a little bit of a lind sanity run here since

564
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: August fifteenth, like two weeks, it's been one of the

565
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: best hitters in all baseball.

566
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: That Matt Shoemaker April run. I'll never forget that, and

567
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: then he immediately got hurt by after that, there was like, wow,

568
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Mat Shoemakers are ninety seven miles an hour, grabbed him

569
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: on every fancy team. I felt like the smartest guy

570
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: in the world, and it was like, oh Matchewmaker Blue

571
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: was on. That stinks, but yeah, that's that's a good

572
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: bit that I like that YouTube video. But d J

573
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: S two definitely is on one of those right now.

574
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: This one sanity run has already taken him to a

575
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: higher f war than Lan mcgre junior on the entire season,

576
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: which is something that you know, we can hang our

577
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: hats on because Lanmakerreo Junior is supposedly one of the

578
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: best like basically players in baseball, and DJs Douw has

579
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: been more valuable him in a month and he's all season.

580
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: There's not that many hitters hitting better than DJ Stewart

581
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: Right now, it's got to the point where on Sunday

582
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: the Mariners are making pitching changes, so left he's come

583
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: in to face DJ Stewart because because of how a

584
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: lot of the power hitter he is. And hopefully you

585
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: guys listen to our interview with him. If not, go

586
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: back and check it out, because DJ Stewart is like

587
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: basically a bit of a Forrest Gump in terms of

588
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: baseball and sports stories in general. New Derek Henry growing

589
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: up beat him in high school football. College teammates with

590
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, told some stories about him. Also played aau

591
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: ball with Hayden Hurris before he also switched the football

592
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: full time. Played with Buck show Walder and the Oris

593
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: before coming over to the Mets. Now just had the baby.

594
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: He's had some great stories about that. He's a deer

595
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: hunter and his wife deer hunt together. The guy is

596
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: super interesting, really good interview with DJ Stewarts. Go back

597
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: and check that out.

598
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Yeah, and I mean like Castillo, like weirdly,

599
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking at his career stats out had struggled against

600
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: the Mets in his career. He's made four starts twenty

601
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: four innings. He has a four to four ERA with

602
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: a whip at like one to five. He just kind

603
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 2: of gives up home runs against the Mets. Six home

604
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: runs in those twenty four innings against the Mets, so whatever.

605
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: I mean, A lot of it probably had to do

606
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 2: because it playing in Cincinnati for most of it too,

607
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: And that's just like the easiest place to hit a

608
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: home run really. But yeah, let's have Castillo's number a

609
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: little bit and Mark Viento, sorry guy, Mark e v

610
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: knocking Castillo out with another bomb to right center field.

611
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: Which the power there's the power of the Viento's we've

612
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 2: always known is so legit, so true. It's just about

613
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: consistently getting it, but being able to hit it out there,

614
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: like John Texass just doesn't really happen too much. You

615
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: don't see a lot of guys doing that.

616
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: No, and that he said four home runs this year

617
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: with the Mets. The one, the first one that went

618
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: against the Rays was just barely on the pulse sive

619
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: of center field for him, and all three of his

620
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: other ones were all basically in the exact same power

621
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: rally in right center field. This home run travel projected.

622
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: This is the four hundred and thirty eight feet, which

623
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: is the tenth longest home run hit. But I met

624
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: this season, which that's pretty cool for guy like Mark Vivanzo,

625
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: especially off the pitcher like Luis Castillo, and now he

626
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: has home runs this year off of a Roldest Chapman,

627
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Louis Castillo, with double love Felix Patista. It's like, all right, well,

628
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: maybe maybe just needs to like step up when the

629
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: real pitchers around the mound, and that's how Mark Vanzo

630
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 1: is gonna start getting hot here. And then after they

631
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: made the picture change for Cisco Indoor, put one right

632
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: down the line, right where we've been sitting the last

633
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: couple games. So it'd been nice if we could have

634
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: been sitting there for for that home run get on

635
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: the spot on TV. But just bang, bang off the

636
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: foul poll cut the lead to one. And this was

637
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: suddenly a pretty exciting baseball game.

638
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean it was really nice to see

639
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: because like we again we're flipping between college football and

640
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 2: the Mets, and all of a sudden on the Mets like, oh,

641
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 2: this game is completely back because so we know, grand

642
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: Heartwood came in, came out for a second inning, kind

643
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 2: of got in some trouble, some runs came in. The lead,

644
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 2: got a little bit bigger than we would have liked to think.

645
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: Like you said, it got to seven four, but then

646
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: that lind Door home run tied it up. And then

647
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: McNeil as well with that triple late in the game.

648
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: I mean, how does that ball not get out of

649
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: the park. I mean, Jeff was what's the right word,

650
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 2: but like I can't think of it. I can't think

651
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: of the word. But he got it today. He got

652
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 2: it today with the home run. You know what I'm

653
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: talking about.

654
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: I can't even comprehend. We're just thinking of angry upset.

655
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: These are just Jeff.

656
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: No, it's almost like he got repaid, like they gave

657
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: it back to him. He was redeemed, redeemed, redeem the word. Yeah,

658
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: he got redemption in Game three. But can't believe that

659
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 2: ball didn't go out. Still good to see Jeff swinging

660
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 2: the bat though, was swinging for a little bit more

661
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: power as.

662
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: Well, definitely, and another multi hit game with the home

663
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: run like you mentioned on Sunday. Also three hard hit

664
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: balls on Sunday. Just got the OPS way over eight

665
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: hundred since August first, WRC plus over one twenty Jeff

666
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: McNeil that we've all come to know and expect and

667
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: it's nice to see him again. Like very big deal

668
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 1: for these guys. We see how much how big competitors

669
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: they are, We see how much emotion still in every

670
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: single game, just getting hot to end the season a

671
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: guy like Jeff McNeil. It changes so much of what

672
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: happens going into next year when you can end the

673
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: season feeling like the player that you know you are.

674
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: And that was a good moment. Right after that, though,

675
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: sadly JP Crawford had a very big home run for

676
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: the Mariners, give him the lead, the lead that they

677
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: would hold on to the end of the game. Also

678
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: just want to like get in a soap boxer JP

679
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: Crawford real quick. He is become absolutely one of the

680
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: most i'll say important players in baseball for any team

681
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: in the league, playing short stop every day of his

682
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Marriagers team, being a leader, being there for a long time.

683
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: Kyle Seger talked about when he retired that like there

684
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: was a guy who spends whole career with the organization,

685
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: that the next leader was JP Crawford, Like he was

686
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: the guy who said that yes that he was the

687
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: guy growing into that role, and you've seen a guy

688
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: like Crawford who you kind of see guys who are

689
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: top prospects sometimes JP Crawford had a moment where he

690
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: was number one overall prospect in baseball, and then they

691
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: come up right yes, and they come up to the

692
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: major leagues and don't really excel right away or even

693
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: at all. Sometimes you see that kind of be a

694
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: burden on guys, and you see that almost work kind

695
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: of productively for them where that prospect has hurts them,

696
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: they feel the pressure, they fold under it, and they

697
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: kind of just get taken up by a media storm

698
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: and they never become the player of and expect them

699
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: to be. But right now, JP Crawford's got a one

700
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: for the WRC, plus he has almost same amount of

701
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: walks to strikeouts. He has a by far career high

702
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: fourteen homers already with a power sarge happenings he gets

703
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: through September, could be in line for his first twenty

704
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: home run season where he never even hit ten in

705
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: a full season before two seven, the average three ninety

706
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: one base four to forty slug and again just being

707
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: a steading force to this managers team day in and

708
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: day out, being in the line of every single day,

709
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: top of the order, hitting ahead of Julio Rodriguez, and

710
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: the organization loves him. He says all the right things,

711
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: he does all the right things. Jape Crawford's a really

712
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: good player and someone that I feel like you can

713
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: all look around baseball be like, that's one of the

714
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: guys who makes the game great.

715
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: No, very very solid baseball player. And it took some

716
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: impressive VP two when we were on the field for

717
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: Game one, really impressive VP.

718
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: Really really wish I will take the thought about that

719
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: before the game began.

720
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, didn't didn't expect to see that honestly either,

721
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: because like I'd seen how good of a season's been having.

722
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: But I was like, ah, he still doesn't really like

723
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: crush the baseball like he's still just like he's still good.

724
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: There's no doubt he's been a good player this year.

725
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: But I was like, I'm just waiting for like that,

726
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: what makes him cool. He's a little boring, but he's

727
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: been He's exactly what they needed. He's been great this year.

728
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's a guy who takes his own development

729
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: into his own hands. He spent the last couple off

730
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: seasons at drive lines talked about using weighted bats to

731
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: make like just getting this power up. And you see

732
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: when it happens like this, and you see it so

733
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: starkly in the season, you're like, oh, man, like a

734
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: lot of this development. When guys like use this advanced

735
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: stuff in these training methods, it really really works.

736
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, data and science is always good to have more

737
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: of that.

738
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. And then move on to Game three,

739
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: rubber game of this series. You know, felt it felt

740
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: like the good all days with the Mets. One Game one,

741
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: lost Game two, we were onto a Sunday Game three

742
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: where you have a chance to like, you know, put

743
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: the team down and tell you guys again. Tyler McGill

744
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: did some really encouraging things. He had just a crystal

745
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: clean first three and two thirds innings before clean Dominic Canson.

746
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: It was a Buck Guy, I go Buck Dominic Canzon

747
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: in the Big Series. Big Series here for the managers

748
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: only one Buck Guy had a Goo weekend and Mike

749
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: Ford Princeton Guy. So you know, those are two of

750
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: the most esteemed universities in the whole country. O High

751
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: of State of Princeting going back to back for some

752
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: home runs there a little different, I think, but I

753
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: think one in the same You're right, host is probably

754
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: a little a little bit better as sports in Printon,

755
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: might be a little bit better in the classroom. But

756
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: I think interesting, interesting spin. I think we're splitting hairs.

757
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: But Tylerman then battled back through the fifth and after

758
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: again we talked about before the very slick double play

759
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: and one hot pick off a Julio bullet from the door.

760
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: Then with the seats of first got to the sixth inning,

761
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: came out when Brooks Raley came in to face the lefty.

762
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: But five and a third, five hits, three earned, two walk,

763
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: six strikeouts and sixteen whiffs tied Tyler McGill's season high.

764
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: Very encouraging, very encouraging, and like you see with him

765
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: like they're they're clearly as a point in the game

766
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: where all of a sudden, like things get a little

767
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: bit tougher and him being able to get through that.

768
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: Like when he gave up those home runs to cam

769
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: Zone and Ford, I was like, oh boy, like this

770
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: is this is about to go south really quickly. I

771
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: thought it was just kind of snowballing. And then they

772
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: avalanche was about to happen, but he battled through it,

773
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: and like you said, to get that five and a third,

774
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: to get those sixteen whiffs. He was throwing ninety six

775
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: think pretty consistently in this game, and when you talked

776
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: about it last episode, how important it is for him

777
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: to essentially be throwing ninety six with that fastball completely

778
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: changes his outlook as a pitcher. All stuff that is

779
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: really really encouraging signs for Tyler McGill, who, without a doubt.

780
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: Struggled this year at points. Yes, and something else Tyler

781
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: McGill did in this game that we talked about his

782
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: last start in the Rangers series where the velocity did

783
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: dep after about sixty five or seventy pitches, and you

784
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: saw the Mariners really taking some hacks when that happened

785
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: through the fourth and fifth innings. But then his last

786
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: three fastballs of the game with three of his four

787
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: hardest of the entire game, and he was able to

788
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: rear back and get those important outs in the sixth

789
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: inning when his pitch count was climbing. That's a really

790
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: cool thing of Tyler McGill, a guy we talked about

791
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: last time. So much of what he does effectiveness wise

792
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: is going to be based on his velocity, and the

793
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: fact that he could rear back and find that velocity

794
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: when things got tight and things got tough is cool.

795
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: Especially in this game. Fastballs and sliders made up over

796
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: eighty percent of all the pitches he threw, which is

797
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: kind of where he usually sits, but there was a

798
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: little bit more of a slider lee in this game.

799
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: The fastball velocity overall was over ninety five. Again, that's

800
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: now every single start since he came back from Triple

801
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: a's average fastball velosity has been over ninety five miles

802
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: an hour and it got seven whiffs. But the slider

803
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: came in much hatger. That has most starts this year.

804
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: He's been throwing it harder with a little bit less

805
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: drop his last couple of starts. I think that's been

806
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: a big adjustment for him because now in two of

807
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: those last three starts, but a slyer, velosity has ticked

808
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: up a few miles an hour. It's gotten eight whiffs.

809
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: The slider alone has gotten eight whiffs, and those tied

810
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: those two for his most whiffs he's gotten with the

811
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: slyder and any start this year.

812
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean in the Mets chase. George Kirby

813
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: had the game too, which helped. Like the offense just

814
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: kind of kept going this entire game. George Kirby arguably

815
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: one of the worst starts he's made of the year,

816
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: someone who's been so great this season.

817
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he also probably might be a little hurt. He

818
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: was pushed back and then his velocity really tailed off

819
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: as this game went on. And he's a guy who's

820
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: been one of the most impressive pitchers in the entire

821
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: American League, but just didn't really look like he had

822
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: everything he always has today. He still didn't walk anybody,

823
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: because George Kirby just doesn't walk me. That's kind of

824
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: his whole thing. It's pretty amazing. He almost would probably

825
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: do a little bit better with just like walking a

826
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 1: couple more guys. But no, I'm not not gonna tell

827
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: George Kirby had a pitch. He still does great. The

828
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: results are incredible, but we did chase him early. A

829
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: big reason for that was Peel Alonzo George Francisco Lindor

830
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: in the first inning and then hit his four year

831
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: home run of the year a few winnings later, and

832
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: he also a second home run this game. So after

833
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: this game, He's had four homers one hundred RBIs. He

834
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: is now the fifth player in baseball history to ever

835
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: hit for the home runs three times in the first

836
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: five years, joining Ryan Howard, Albert Poohls, Ralph Kiner, and

837
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: Eddie Matthews. Oh and one of those four five years

838
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: for Pete, it was only sixty game shortened season due

839
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: to the pandemic, So Peter really only had four years

840
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: to do this, and the one time he didn't do it,

841
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: it was thirty seven home runs. He was right there,

842
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: sniffed it, and he he was.

843
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: On pace with all those guys too as well of

844
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: like keeping up with like just the home run counting

845
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: numbers as well. Like I think Pete's at like one eighty,

846
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: somewhere in the one eighty, and I want to say,

847
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: like Poohols was at like two twenty something, and that

848
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: was with a full year where Pete Alonzo missed because

849
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: he the COVID year. So like he's on track to

850
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: be one of the better home run hitters we've seen

851
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: just in baseball in general, Like he will go down

852
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: as a historic home run hitter. Everyone remembers how good

853
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: Ryan Howard was, and like his career was a little

854
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: bit shorter than like some of the great home run hitters,

855
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: but prolific power continues to show it. Just such a stud,

856
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: so happy he's on the Mets every single time, Like

857
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: what a great guy, what an awesome player to have.

858
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: Ridiculous and even just to talk about in context of

859
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: the Mets history, because the Mets are not an organization

860
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: has really been known for power hitters, and just talking

861
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: about how rare a guy like Pee Alonzo probably is.

862
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: His three forty home run season ties every single met

863
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: ever for for the home run season only forever. It

864
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: was a Beltron season, a Darrel season, and I think

865
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: the famous Todd Hundley season, I believe, Yeah, the three

866
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: forty home run seasons in Mets history. So just to

867
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: show you, guys, how incredible Pete is in historical context,

868
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: how far ahead of almost every other player's ever played

869
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: this game, as well as every other player's ever put

870
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: on the Met jersey, how good Pie Alonzo is, And

871
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, it seems like great guy to

872
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: have around, oh.

873
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, super happy he's on my team and

874
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: not anybody else's team. And I hope he's around for

875
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: a long time. And then talking about the rest of

876
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: this game here dominic Leone, Thank god we scored a

877
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: run off of him. I just needed that for my soul.

878
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: He like evaded us with the Angels. He hasn't left

879
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: the city of New York and seemingly a month, it

880
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: seems like, with the Angels being there, and then he

881
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: gets caught and he gets sent to the Mariners. Now,

882
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: but I'm glad that my boy Jeff friend of the podcast,

883
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: was able to put one out against dominic Leone. Really

884
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: made me smile for a couple of different reasons.

885
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And shoutout Brooks rail in this game.

886
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: So you mentioned Tyler McGill coming out for a lefty.

887
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: Brooks Raley came in after his worst outing of the

888
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: year and got five outs on twenty one pitches. Really good.

889
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Gott's been warming up every single night. He had

890
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: a clean inning and an adam On Laveno nailed down

891
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: the safe and yep, another win for the Mets. Also

892
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: shout out Brett Baty, two hard hit balls, one hit

893
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: the show for it, but no one quit on Brett Baty.

894
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: And a phenomenal play at third base on Julio Rodriguez,

895
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: one of the fastest players in the league. Little slow chopper,

896
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: bareham play throw got him out. Julio was shocked. He

897
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 2: turned a round as like, whoa very impressive play, like

898
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: to throw me out. I'm so fast that was must

899
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: have done something. He's got great arm, redbaity at third base,

900
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: super strong arm. Glad to see that he was making

901
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: the plays out in the field, and also shout out

902
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: Ronnie Marisio stealing bass as well. Got two stolen bases

903
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: in this series. And he also continued to hit, just

904
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: keeps on hitting. He was one for four in this game,

905
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: but he started off I think like four for five

906
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: after Game two, and I hit five for six going

907
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: into the game three. So Ronnie Marisio, that dude can hit.

908
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: That dude can hit. Just saying he's pretty good, yeah.

909
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: And also pretty fun. Like every every team baseball at

910
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: every single level, Like the bomb of the other is

911
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: the bomb of the other, looking at the bomb of

912
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: the other pin like I'm Maracio beailli al for us. Okay,

913
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: that's fun. I like that all three of them got

914
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: knock on Sunday.

915
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I love to hear that, love to hear

916
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: that good win for the Mets. And of course you

917
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: guys know when the Mets win a series, who won

918
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: the es to Met James, it was Julio Rodriguez hits

919
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: and how many did he get?

920
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: He got three? I guess four, Marcus one. So that's

921
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: another victory for me just tackling on took the lead again.

922
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: And also we I believe have a winner for the

923
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: DJ Stewart contest right that we ran on Twitter last week.

924
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: Due yes, and his name was oh Man, Where did

925
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: I put it? Did I did I click off of

926
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: his Twitter?

927
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: Oh?

928
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 2: Here it is? Okay, yeah, it is at Baseball Underscore

929
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: Mystic seems to be really interested in the Mets giveaways,

930
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: and he got this one as close as possible. There

931
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 2: was a couple one hundred and eight point threes in there,

932
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: but DJ Sewer hit the ball undred and eight point

933
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: eight miles an hour and the Baseball Mystic guest one

934
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: oh nine point two, so just ever so slightly closer.

935
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: It was a zero point one difference here. So the

936
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: Baseball Mystic will reach out to you on our Twitter

937
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: to get all your information and get you that DJ

938
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: Stewart ball for this estimate. Of course, John is not

939
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: here with us, so he can't brag about his bet

940
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 2: win against James, but he did send us an estimate,

941
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: and of course it makes a lot of sense. Ronnie

942
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: Maurisio to two game series against the Nationals. What's the

943
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 2: hardest hit ball Ronnie's gonna have?

944
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: Oh Man, has anyone ever hit the ball on hundred

945
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: third thirty seven miles an hour?

946
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: Well, who's he going up against? Pitching wise? Because that

947
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: might change how I feel too, Like if we got

948
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 2: Trevor Williams, we might see a little something special for Ronnie.

949
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: Also, only two game series, so keep that in mind,

950
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be probably only you know, eight nine at

951
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: bats for rhym Riso and then shots to get this. So, okay,

952
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: pitching matchups for the Mets in this series as they

953
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: are on ESPN right now. Okay, we're gonna be facing Okay,

954
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: this is interesting two lefties Jose Cantana Vus Mackenzie Gore

955
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: and then Wednesday is an open spot for them. That's

956
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: a good chance, that's like, that could be, Well, who's

957
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: Jose bood has been saved for? Maybe a piggyback with

958
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: Carlos carrasco versus Patrick Corbit.

959
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: Okay. Interesting, man, we didn't see you know you can

960
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: hit it one hundred and seventeen miles an hour.

961
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, huh, All right, man, thinking I.

962
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 2: Got a number, I don't. I don't have my wedboard,

963
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 2: but I got.

964
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: A number I'm gonna write down for second. Also, if

965
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: there's no if there's no bad the ball by running ratio,

966
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: it's all void just right.

967
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I think we'll say I did two game series.

968
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: It's null and void.

969
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: Yes.

970
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: So as you're writing down your number, I'm thinking, I'm

971
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: thinking where I'm going, and I like where my head's at.

972
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: The guy hits the ball so hard, so hard, and

973
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: again it does that have to be for a hit?

974
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: Just he could hit it one hundred and twenty five

975
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: miles an hour into the ground. That's the hardest hit

976
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: ball of the series for him. So, yes, you got

977
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: your number. Yes, I got my number. Two ready, yep,

978
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 2: three two one go one hundred and twelve point three

979
00:36:53,840 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: miles an hour. Nine. All right, Okay, we'll see, we'll see.

980
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 2: Those are both hard hit baseballs. We know we can

981
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: do it.

982
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like just seeing how comfortably he was lefty,

983
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you can't be that comfortable ariety. Maybe he's

984
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: more comfortable ready. I don't really know, but just two

985
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: lefty starters. I went a little low and we'll see

986
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: what he gets well.

987
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: We do know, though, the ball flies a little bit

988
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 2: in Washington, especially as we get a little bit later

989
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: into the summer, and we know it's gonna be a

990
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: hot week, at least in New York. I don't know

991
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: what it's gonna be like in Washington, d C. But

992
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: can't be that different. It's not that far away.

993
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: It can't be much cooler either. I just think it's

994
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: gonna be hot and humid all over the place this week.

995
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: But the Mets two have an off day Monday, heading

996
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: down there for the series beginning on Tuesday, quick lit

997
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: two game series. I feel like them has always find

998
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: themselves in Washington this time of year. We know the

999
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: series that crushed all of us, broke off our hearts,

1000
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: but always always lost something this time of year. And

1001
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: then we're sticking with the American League next week and

1002
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: going to Minnesota for one of the most obecure series

1003
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 1: I've ever seen the Mets play in Minnesota September eighth, ninth,

1004
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: and tenth. But told you the twin signed by the way, yeah,

1005
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: your boy former national Andrew Stevenson.

1006
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 2: Your boy, your boy too, everybody's boy and Stephenson.

1007
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: Mkiller miss mat killer. But we know his national scene

1008
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: has been thorn in our sides all year. We also

1009
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: know we're incredibly close and standing, says national team. So

1010
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: what just feel nice to beat them a few times

1011
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: and just be clear of them and not have to

1012
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: think about, you know, coming in last place. But I

1013
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: digress there. They're still very fun team. CJ. Abrams has

1014
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: been a hot headed this year, but he's can you

1015
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: hear that stuff in the background.

1016
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: No, I mean like you can hear it, but you're fine,

1017
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 2: You're good, all right.

1018
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: Just the streets are broken, making some noise whatever.

1019
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: C J.

1020
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: Abrams had a very good year, especially relative to what

1021
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: people expected. He's been a little cold recently, but he's

1022
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: been picked up by the man hitting second That order

1023
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: Lane Thomas.

1024
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: You just have non stop sirens for the at the

1025
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: end of the podcast, so you can do it. You

1026
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: work through it. This is adversity. This will make you

1027
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 2: a better podcaster, So.

1028
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: I'll they weaken. In Europe, the street the streets are

1029
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: active right now. Is there's music going on there's a

1030
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: bachata below my windows, a siren coming down, blaring down

1031
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: the street, and there's a lot going on. But Nationals,

1032
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: they're pesky. They put the ball in play. Mackenzie Gore,

1033
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: he is much better against the Mets and basically ever

1034
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: the team in the league. Patrick Orbin is not so

1035
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: good against any team in the league. It's not a

1036
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: guy that Peelonzo takes advantage off. So hopefully we can

1037
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: get to like forty three to forty four home runs

1038
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: by the end of the series. It's really all we got.

1039
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: And then they just got smoked in the series against

1040
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: the Marlins, got the Marlins hot for the first time

1041
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: in a while. I'm struggling. In the fantasy playoff matchup.

1042
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: I had to start Kyle Finn again because my Felix

1043
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: Bautista and Nick Pavetiga moved to the bullpen and coull

1044
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: Crawford's face in the as for this week, he did

1045
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: not have very good week for me after having a

1046
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: very good month. So I don't know if Mna started

1047
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: the next week against the Mets, I don't know him

1048
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: to do. I'm really racking my brain about I'm not

1049
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: excited to make that decision.

1050
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, some other names to keep an eye out for.

1051
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 2: Travis Blankenhorn, he's with the Nationals. Former met Travis blanken Or.

1052
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: How old is he?

1053
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: Towy nine, twenty six?

1054
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: He's younger than us, all right, let's hang out with Travis.

1055
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: Couldn't have guessed. Couldn't have guessed any give me a

1056
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: million guests. I'd never think he was younger than us.

1057
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 2: But I guess we're just getting old. Maybe that's where

1058
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: we're trying to learn here. But Travis Blankenhorne and then

1059
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: a former top prospect as well, back up with them

1060
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: as the rosters expanded, Carter Kiebu And he's actually been

1061
00:39:59,080 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 2: playing decent.

1062
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: Well.

1063
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 2: Somebody keeping out for too, because I think he's pretty

1064
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: much playing third base every day now.

1065
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is. He actually is kind of weirdly finding

1066
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: it again. He's also imagine this, he's also twenty six

1067
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: years old.

1068
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, age, that one made more sense, so that one

1069
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: I wasn't as surprised about. But yeah, caber Ruiz has

1070
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 2: been great. Laine Thomas, you guys know, we've seen the

1071
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: Nationals enough. There's not too much to talk about with them, right,

1072
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's a good place for us

1073
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: to probably just say enough of the Nationals talk. Let's

1074
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 2: wrap this one up here.

1075
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: And I think it's also Joey Baseball Joy Minss also

1076
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: a very good second half, really affirming himself as major

1077
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: league ball player.

1078
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,000
