00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: Up Podcast. Just finished up the Subway series, split split

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: the Subway series for the season. Couldn't get the second

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: win in the Game two, but Game one was great.

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: A lot of good stuff going on, honestly, like outside

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: of the bats kind of just not really existing in

8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: Game two. Let's played really good baseball these last two

9
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 2: games against the New York Yankee. So a lot of

10
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: really positive things to talk about here. Of course, trade

11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: deadlines coming up, so that's always going to be a

12
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: topic of conversation, whether the Mets are buying, selling, doing anything.

Speaker 1: Doing good? That was a nice intro that was like

24
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: a more clean succinct, you know, that was more of

25
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: a table of content to an intro. You really let

26

Speaker 1: minutes two an hours.

28
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, like listen, the series was good,

29
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: Like I know, they didn't win both games and Game two,

30
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: like the offense wasn't there, but there were like a

31
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: lot of positives I feel like to pull from Game two,

32
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: especially on the side with Quintana having like you had

33
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: some tough innings and he battled. We'll get to it,

34
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: but game one, let's start off there with the win.

35
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: I was in attendance at Yankee Stadium. Always fun at

36
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium because let me just go on like a

37
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: little rant about getting to Yankee Stadium. First off, the

38
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: four or five six line is the is the worst

39
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 2: line in Manhattan. I hate it. It's absolutely It's always packed,

40
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: especially the four train. The four train is always packed.

41
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: It's an express that only runs like every twelve minutes,

42
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: so it's unlike the seven line that's just ripping seven

43
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: trains through every two to three minutes. You're at Queensboro Plaza,

44
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: you're waiting you're never waiting more than two or three minutes.

45
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: You miss the four train, You got a good twelve

46
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 2: minute wait to get on a packed subway. It's freaking

47
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: hot in there, it's super hot. And then the when

48
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: you get to Yankee Stadium, which is just the absolute worst.

49
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: The track, what is it called the station, that's what

50
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: they're called. The station is tiny, and there's one stairwell

51
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: to go down from that station down to the street level.

52
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: And it's coming from a packed car. It's like nobody thought,

53
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: nobody used their brain at all when they designed this

54
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: stadium and where it should go. I hated that. It

55
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: got me mad. There was just nonsense on the train

56
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: as well. I hated it.

57
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: How can you not even tell just by the like

58
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: the way the Yankee Stadium was built, designed like the

59
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: way it feels that it was built for the people

60
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: coming in their luxury cars from Greenwich and from you know,

61
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: up in Connecticut, while Westchester is not made for the people.

62
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: It's not like City Field, like Yankee Stadium. They don't

63
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: they put that subway like that because they don't want

64
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: the subway people coming to the Yankee Stadium. That's why

65
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: it's like that. You go to the Yankee Stadium, you

66
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: go eat, you know, you network, and then there's baseball

67
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: on and then you go home.

68
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 2: I will say they do kill it before the game

69
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: with billies and stands.

70
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: It's awesome.

71
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: Like I can't wait for Cityfield to start getting more

72
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: and more bars around. We have the K Corner, We

73
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: have ebbs right now, but those places like those are real,

74
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: like down to earth, like you're watching, you're talking baseball,

75
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: good music kind of thing. Can't wait for that to

76
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: build around City Field as well in the upcoming years hopefully.

77
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: So that's fun. But then getting into the stadium, this

78
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: is a whole nother debacle for a stadium. You would think, like,

79
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: I guess maybe the Yankees don't sell out as much

80
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: as they like to think, because you would they have

81
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: no clue, no clue how to get people into the

82
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: stadium at all. Any gate you go to, you're waiting

83
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: online for fifteen twenty minutes. I mean it's only what

84
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: like ten thousand more people than City Field. You'd think

85
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: that they have no clue. Bottlenecking, there's the way that

86
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: security works is out of control. We were online for

87
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: like twenty minutes to get into the stadium ten minutes

88
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: before the game was starting. Like that just shouldn't happen.

89
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: That's insane. I've never seen a line like that at

90
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: any other stadium in the world, in the world. I'm

91
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: a world traveler. I've been to games in England. Never

92
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: been like that before.

93
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: No, I mean the city Field ushuer, assault of the

94
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: earth and very efficient. Everyone knows their job, everyone knows

95
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: what they're doing, gets everybody in a timely fashion. There.

96
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Even a few years ago. I remember had years years

97
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: ago there were like those long lines sometimes outside of

98
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: City Field for the sellouts. But last year especially hasn't

99
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been like that as much as much you know,

100
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: we're not you know, it's a little different now. But

101
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium, every single time you go to that place,

102
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: it's complete just mess to get in there every single time,

103
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: absolutely mess, absolute mess.

104
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: And I mean it's just like one of the most

105
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: overrated stadiums, if not the most overrated stadium in all

106
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: of baseball. It's just such a like business feel. There's

107
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: no fun, there's no family family vibe whatsoever. Like everything there.

108
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: Like you said, you said, people go there to network.

109
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: It's one hundred percent true. There's a ton of networking

110
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: getting done at Yankee Stadium. The seats behind home plate

111
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 2: are never full. They were reporting that it was a sellout,

112
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: maybe by ticket sales before the game, but I can

113
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: tell you right now, me and Ernie, we had tickets

114
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: in four to zero six or three zero six right

115
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: field first row. I went down to go get a

116
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: steak sandwich. I found a section one twenty eight, one

117
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: twenty nine eight rows completely empty, completely empty. I called Ernie.

118
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: I said, hey, we're at Yankee Stadium. We're moving down,

119
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: we're sitting here. We can't do this because, I mean,

120
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: they even show up for their own game. This is

121
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: a team that's about five hundred. I'm not lying when

122
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: I say the things I say like I am. I'm

123
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: passionate about how awful Yankee Stadium is.

124
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: And I don't even think it's overrated anymore because I

125
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: feel like it's really spread around. The Yankee Stadium is

126
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: just like not that good of a ball park. It's

127
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: really good if you're like in a luxury section or

128
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: you're in the Legends suites, like those things are incredible there.

129
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: Like eating eating high class Susie at the baseball game

130
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: is sick. I can't. You can't. You can't get me

131
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: to do. City Fields sushi is really good too. City

132
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: Fields sushi's great, but the sushi in Yankee Stadium is

133
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: and it's nuts. Like it's also just a very different

134
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: city Field sushi. Ever, we can get it yanked Staum.

135
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: It's only for the very select few of the elites,

136
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: and video was making fun of it before. But I

137
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: had Betty Hannah in the stadium. It was fantastic.

138
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: A little steak, a little rice and it was like

139
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: twenty dollars. I was full. I was completely full.

140
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: It was great. Yeah, I like the hahall guys. There

141
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: too a good good rice options in the Yankee Stadium.

142
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: But it's just it's not a place like really watch

143
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: a game like city Field. You can you can kind

144
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: of walk around just like enjoy the day at city Field.

145
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: The Yankee Stadium. Most of the stadiums you're walking, you

146
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 1: can't see the field and it's like can't see anything.

147
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: It's terrible, I don't know. And it's like even like

148
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: it's like that business feel kind of behind home plate

149
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: and then you go to the bleachers and you're just

150
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: like terrified for your life because yea.

151
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: The bleacher creatures have a very very fair nickname. They

152
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: they are creatures. I will say that is adimo. They're creatures,

153
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: their maniacs, whatever it is. It's also super lame. I

154
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: honestly like bleacher creatures is one of like the lamest

155
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: thing in sports. Honestly, it's like grown men who're like,

156
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 2: please wave to me, Anthony Folpi, you're twenty one, please

157
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: wave to me. Lame if you're a kid, cool, if

158
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: you're an adult man who's got children, really weird.

159
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: What's what's the age called off on a bleacher creature?

160
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: Once you're out of college, you can no longer be

161
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: a bleacher creature. I think when you're in college it's

162
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 2: acceptable because you're having beers, you're hanging out, like it's

163
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: a cheap ticket. I respect that they they do sell

164
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: out the bleachers every game. That's cool because it's like

165
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: a cheap ticket, you get your beer, you hang out.

166
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: They're they're rowdy, for sure, but the chanting and like

167
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: please wave back to me, Anthony Rizzo, please labor torres

168
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: weird behavior for adults.

169
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Yankee fans themselves, I feel like are little

170
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: bit duller right now than they usually are. They've kind

171
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: of been like they're kind of beaten down by like

172
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: a full calendar year of like around five hundred baseball there.

173
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: They had team is one of the worst offenses in

174
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: baseball over the last two months. Like they're definitely kind

175
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: of like they're a little more sulky than usually Yankee fans.

176
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Like I was watching the game with a friend tonight

177
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: in his backyard, and like usually any Subway series, he'll

178
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: just be like just like get in my face no

179
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: matter what. And he was just like super casuals like, yeah,

180
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm be happy, Rodan, you know, got through five good ones.

181
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I guess yeah. It's wow. I

182
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: can't believe you're giving me such a guy.

183
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: To take Dude, I had Yankee fans last night. They

184
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: were they're actually really good. The ones that were sitting

185
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: around me and Ernie. But when the met when Pete A.

186
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: Lonso hit that second home run to put the Mets

187
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: up four or five whatever it was, at the time,

188
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: we were screaming, we were jumping, we were yelling high

189
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: five in each other being excited. Also, Ernie pulled out

190
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: the var jersey. He has to wear that to all

191
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: Mets games now, no more, no more. Of the other

192
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: Jersey gotta pull out the VR. But we were jumping yelling.

193
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: Some Yankee fans are like, yeah, why don't you get

194
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: above five hundred let us know, like what's going on,

195
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: then you can talk. I was like, yeah, why don't

196
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: you get out of fifth place and get into a

197
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: playoff spot. We're both not in the playoffs? What is

198
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: this trash talking? And they're like, biggest payroll ever. And

199
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: I was like, coming from the Yankees, imagine being a

200
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: Yankee fan complaining about payroll. I mean, you guys broke

201
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: all the records prior to this.

202
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: No, that's what I mean. The Yankee fans are different.

203
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: They're getting a little bit different. And I feel like

204
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: the fact that, like if they were really good and

205
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: we were having the season as the Mets with the

206
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: biggest payroll, they would have a lot of hammo, Like

207
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: I'll put my hands up and I'll tell you that

208
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: you would have me definitely, I have no response. But

209
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: in fact that they also stink like it's em They're

210
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: going in similar directions like maybe Judge comes back, they

211
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: get hot, and they like sneak into a wildcard spot.

212
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: But it's just it's a sad day when Yankee fans

213
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: are bragging about wildcard spots and you know, not having

214
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: the highest pay roll in New York, like that's it's

215
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: interesting like that, like to have a chip on their

216
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: shoulder now and that's how they're about it. But it's

217
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: it's weird coming from our youth teams of a rod

218
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: g there, you know, buying, buying all the talent you

219
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: possibly could and now yeah, they're just like they're proud

220
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: not to have the biggest payroll.

221
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of winning in the last twenty three

222
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: years for that franchise, Big one, the World Series for them, Yeah,

223
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: so very successful. But let's get back to this game here.

224
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo is back. He's so back. I was feeling

225
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: it before the game. Let's just say I had a

226
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: little little here and there on Peter Linsod hit a

227
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: home run or what or not. He was having a great,

228
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: great series in Boston, and the way he was swinging

229
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: it felt good. Boy did he look good. I mean

230
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: even in Game two he was smoking the ball. But

231
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: two home runs, five RBIs in a walk. Both the

232
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: balls were absolutely crushed on the home runs. That's the

233
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: kind of Peter Lions that were accustomed to see it.

234
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: No, definitely, both his home runs were hit over one

235
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: hundred five miles an hour, and that is a big

236
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: thing for Pete because when Pete's had his best, he

237
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: hits the ball as harder hard than basically every single

238
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: other player in baseball besides the guy on the other side.

239
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: These last two games, John Carlos Stanton, and so I

240
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: looked because I was like, I really feel like Pete

241
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: hasn't really done that in a while. And I went

242
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: back and looked, and in the first twenty one games

243
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: this season, in four games, he had two balls in

244
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: play over one hundred five miles an now ex velocity.

245
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: This was only the fourth time he's done that in

246
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: seventy one games since since like the middle of mayish

247
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: and like that was like he really felt that with

248
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: the wrist injury, and we need that Pete backer consistency.

249
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: But good to see him. It also plays like Yankee Stadium,

250
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Like I know, those home runs weren't like quinn sentially

251
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium home runs. I made a joke on Twitter

252
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: because one kind of looks like it even though he

253
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: smoked it, but like this did feel like they might

254
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: not have gotten out of city Field.

255
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ctateyfield, maybe maybe not so much, but it was.

256
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: It was good to see Pete swinging the bat like that.

257
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: I feel like him and especially Lindor always have big

258
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: Subway series, always perform like in the clutch against the Yankees.

259
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: I feel like Lindor in particular owns the Yankees. We know,

260
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: we had that huge game back in twenty twenty one

261
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: where he had the what three home run game right

262
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: against the Yankees, which was something that they think so

263
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: awesome on Sunay Night Baseball, and he did it again,

264
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: three for five, two doubles, He had four hard hit

265
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: balls on here, playing great defense as always, Like that's

266
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: when this middle of the order is clicking like that,

267
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 2: you go there they are. There's that Mets team we've

268
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: been waiting for.

269
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: Definitely, Lindor just has him swinging the bat really, really

270
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: well since the breath of his Daughther Amopolo. He told

271
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: us the interview that those two things aren't related, but

272
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: just circumstantially, he has been playing well about since that time.

273
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: Like he got hot that like third full week of

274
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: June over there, and he's gotten nine hundred op yes,

275
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Like since since Amopolo, he's got it was six home

276
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: runs yesterday, also two bases last night. Him ten steals

277
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: in thirty games. Like he's just filling up the statue

278
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: left and right for all my fantasy baseball players out there.

279
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: He's a top twenty five player in like pure fantasy

280
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: baseball rotisseriy value, so home runs, RBS, run score, stolen base,

281
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: his batting average, and we still know the batting average

282
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: is a drag. So he's been so elite and all

283
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: those other categories like statistically speaking of, he's one of

284
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: the best like players in the whole league, and fantasy

285
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: is still different, but he's still even in terms of

286
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: like wins above replacement, it's still where he always is,

287
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: like top thirty twenty player in the whole league. And

288
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: I thought was cool that all four of his hardest

289
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: hit of his hard hit balls on Tuesday night, we're

290
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: over one hundred miles an hour. He's a guy who

291
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: has really good eggs of vlassies usually, but like to

292
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: get four of those in one game, like you're really

293
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: quite locked in. And I just wanted to look back

294
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: at that again. I had the Q open from piece,

295
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: so I was looking at eggs Vlasiti stuff. Anyway, that

296
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: was the second time this month that endorsed had four

297
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: hard hit balls in one game, including the game in

298
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: Arizona and just a random comparison, this one was really

299
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: special for John. So I'm sady couldn't join us tonight,

300
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: but this will be this will be the test if

301
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: John's gonna listen to the podcast or not. Xander Barbar

302
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: has only done that twice in his entire career, four

303
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: balls over one hundred miles an hour in one game,

304
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: and one was in twenty seventeen and one was April

305
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. And the Door's done it twice this month,

306
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: which is just really weird. And you know that's just

307
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: a weird coincidence right there. Yeah, crazy crazy stuff.

308
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: McNeil also waking up a little bit, showing some life,

309
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: taking some good swings, getting on base, had a good

310
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: Game two as well. We need Jeff McNeill like swinging

311
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: the bat like he was losing the batting title champion,

312
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: and having him hit the way he has this year

313
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: like it it hurts the offense for sure. So for

314
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: Jeff to kind of just be inching his way back

315
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: into his way back, eating up swinging the bat a

316
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: lot better also just helps his team so much.

317
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just finding his ways to contribute. He had

318
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: the amazing rob home run in game two playing right field,

319
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: and so funny just that little that little FETs out

320
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: there Rob the home run. That ball of glabor Tours

321
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: is bad. Just now we're jumping, it was good like

322
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: that best I was gonna be three inches deep in

323
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: the right kuilp Port Jakee Stadium. He acted like he

324
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: just put the ball in the grand stand. And that

325
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: screw up my head from watching this game so much.

326
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: That the next inning, Tommy fam like did the same

327
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: thing and like I still have I went get out.

328
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: My friend was like, what the hell? I was like

329
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: TK statium. I don't know. But Jeff worked a really

330
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: critical walk that I love to see in Game one.

331
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: It was just before Pete's first home run. Francisco Lindor

332
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: had doubled with two outs and nobody on and then

333
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: McNeil was up too oh, and he went back to

334
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: two two and then just battled for a few pitches.

335
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: You're a nice seven pitch walk, And that's kind of

336
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: like when you feel that Jeff is like kind of

337
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: gritting his teeth and like playing this game with the pitcher.

338
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: It feels like he's getting himself back to where he

339
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: kind of where he knows he needs to be, like

340
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: mentally be the player he is.

341
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean talking about owning the Yankees justin Verlander.

342
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: That guy owns the freaking Yankees. That guy owns him.

343
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he's knocked him out of multiple playoffs. He's

344
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: he's pitched great against some pitch greade against him again

345
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: the other night, six innings, six k's nowhere and runs

346
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: two hard hit balls. I mean, what else is there

347
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,239
Speaker 2: to say He's been fantastic.

348
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: No, he has, and it's just been it's been like

349
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: a month and a half now with Verlanders being like

350
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: this asra is two four four and since June first,

351
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: as the seventh lowest in the league. It's one nine

352
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: to eight since his last kind of rough start, which

353
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: is one in Atlanta, that's the third lowest in the league,

354
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: and even just over the last month, last thirty calendar days,

355
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: it's one point four to six, which is also the

356
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: third lowest in the league, and both of those third

357
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: lowest in the league. They're behind Blake Snell and Kyle

358
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: bradish We are the two highest pitches on the planet

359
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: Earth two of my guys, which is awesome. But he

360
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: hasn't even allowed win three earn runs to start since

361
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: he went pitched down Houston, and it's really really finally

362
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: has like made this great adjustment with the fast ball.

363
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: I've talked to you guys a lot about his fastball

364
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: shape over the last couple of months listening to this podcast,

365
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: and I have another side by side image for Vito

366
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: for the YouTube listeners of how he's like changed around

367
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: his fastball location, especially right handed bathers. And this image

368
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: comes from Lance Brasdowski. I shot him out in the

369
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: pod a few times. He works for the Marquee Network

370
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: as a player development analyst, used to work for Drive

371
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: Line video coordinator. His pitch has just his fastball just

372
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: lost some like natural like the hop carry explosiveness it's

373
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: always had in his career. That's how he's always lived

374
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: in the top of the strike zone with his fastball

375
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: and people have never been able to touch it. And

376
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: it's lost a little bit of that. But that pitch

377
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: always did have a little with a run onto too,

378
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: So while it was like a rising fastball, it still

379
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: like came really up and in on the right handed bathers.

380
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: So now what he's doing is he's been putting that

381
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: pitch much lower in the strike zone and he's like

382
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: using it low to like dive inside on them, and

383
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of weak contact that way. And

384
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: it worked, like credit to one of the grades of

385
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: all time, So to see something that wasn't right and

386
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: correcting it in a really really like succinct an easy way.

387
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. They had Verlander micd up for Game two in

388
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: the third inning and Ron Keith and Gary were talking

389
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: to him and they were like asking him like really

390
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: good questions about like, hey, like at the beginning of

391
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: the year, you weren't sharp, but like we've been seeing

392
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: you over this past month, month and a half, you've

393
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: really figured things out. It's like, what's that all about.

394
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, like just like kind of have never

395
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: really started the year on the il too often. He

396
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: was like, so coming back like mid season, dealing with

397
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: like moving to New York, dealing with having to catch

398
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: up with everybody else, It's like all the hitters were

399
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: ready to go when I came back. He's like, I

400
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: was still kind of like an extended spring training a

401
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: little bit. He's like so yeah, it definitely took some time.

402
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't as sharp he goes, but I'm feeling comfortable now,

403
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: And like obviously in his play can tell that he's

404
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: a little bit more comfortable too.

405
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's very obvious in the mound. He just

406
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: he once again looks like Justin Verlander used to where

407
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: he's very in controlling the mound. He's overpowering Heathers. He's

408
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: mixing in more breaking balls and as in the pass

409
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: and they're working really well and it's pleasure to watch

410
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: he him, him getting together like this has really helped

411
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: his team straightened out over the last like four weeks

412
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: or so.

413
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: Percent and then just some other stuff around the you know,

414
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: uh field too. Viento's got in that bat, smoked a

415
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: double down the line, which was great. So I would

416
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: love to see him get the hands inside the baseball there.

417
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: The Mets like there there were shaky moments in this game,

418
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: which sounds crazy because they were up big with the

419
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: bullpen and guys getting on and like close moments here

420
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: and there. But yeah, Yankee Stadium, it makes you a

421
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: little bit a little more nervous too, because a pop

422
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: up can go for the home run, but like everybody

423
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: kind of just stepped up when we really really needed it,

424
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Hartwig Robertson slammed the door. Like. We ended up getting

425
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: a very clean win here, which felt really really good.

426
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: And let me tell you, there might not be a

427
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: better feeling during the regular season than being in Yankee

428
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: Stadium and seeing those Yankees fans leaving the seventh and

429
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: eighth inning with their heads down, sad, cursing out the manager,

430
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: cursing out the GM, cursing out the ownership. All that

431
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: stuff brings a huge, huge smile to my face. And

432
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: Cherry on top I met big Time Tommy.

433
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, take it ease. I was very jealous when I

434
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: saw that picture.

435
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: We walked out of the stadium and I see him. Great,

436
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: he's a Yankees fan, so it's nobody's perfect, right, I mean,

437
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: come on, and of course he's Yankees fan. Yeah, he's

438
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 2: got his Yankees Cadillac parked outside the Old school Way.

439
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: They let him park wherever he wants. He just parked

440
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 2: on the sidewalk, which is awesome. And I go, I

441
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 2: gotta take a picture with this guy. And I went

442
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: up to him.

443
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: I said, are you doing big time Tommy? I said,

444
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: you know.

445
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: I said it like that too.

446
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: I said the old school way, OHS for life.

447
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: And he was like, hey, let's take a picture. And

448
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: then we took a picture.

449
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: He get he like.

450
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: When we were done, he turned me, give me a

451
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: good handshake. I said, OHS for life.

452
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: Take it.

453
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 2: He said, take it, eies and that was it us

454
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: What a legend. I love that guy.

455
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: I feel like if I ever met Big Time Tommy.

456
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: If you guys don't know Big Time Tommy, go on Instagram,

457
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: look up Big Time Tommy, because because sometimes you got

458
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: you got freestyle it, you gotta do it the old

459
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: school way. He seems like a guy who would always

460
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: have like a little bit of salami on him, like

461
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: for sure, like like he gets out of the stadium,

462
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: but like he keeps like a little cooler in the back.

463
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: He takes out like a like like it's a black

464
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: bag of the cold cuts, and he just eats a

465
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: few sits in his cart, meets the fans like you,

466
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: and then and is on his merried way back to

467
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: South Jersey wherever he calls home.

468
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: Ninety five percent sure he did not go into the stadium.

469
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: I think I saw like foldable chairs that he was

470
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: just and just hanging out there, and I'm sure they

471
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: were like talking, listen to the game on the radio,

472
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: having meets some cured meats of the Italian variety, some chese,

473
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: maybe a little little parmigiano cheese, you know, and he's

474
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: having a good day.

475
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: Big Time Tommy also strikes me as the type. And

476
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: again this is the most compliments. Gotta love Big Time Tommy.

477
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: He probably has like he always keeps like the brood

478
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: iced tea, like in that thing at his house, you know.

479
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: And before he's come to the ballpark, I bet he

480
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: takes like an old simply orange that he's kept lying around,

481
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: and he pours the iced t into the simply orange

482
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: and he packs that tight in the cooler with the

483
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: salambie and he's just ripping iced tea and cured meats,

484
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: listening to the game and with the sounds of the

485
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: stadium behind them.

486
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Ohndred percent, He's a total vibe. Really was just the

487
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: perfect way to end the great night watching the Mets

488
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: beat down on the Yankees, which was just so much,

489
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: so much fun.

490
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: Now on the game two, oh, before we close in

491
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Game one, I want to give credit to one more person.

492
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: I give it to dominic Leon has been has been

493
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: good this Mets ball pen. He he really he really

494
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: closed the door after Brooks really got into a little

495
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: bit trouble for some Brooks Rail's got into a trouble.

496
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: It feels like months. And it's just that slider fastball

497
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: combination from from Uh from Leon right now is incredible.

498
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: That slide is rocking nearly a fifty percent with fright

499
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: for the year for dominant Leon. Yeah, he's and it

500
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: looks good. You watch the slide in the fast blake.

501
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: These are good pitches and now he's bringing the color

502
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: along more, which I think a lot of these Mets

503
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: pitchers across baseball. Great article by Michael Bauman on Fangrass

504
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: this week about the rise of the color. He it's

505
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: those three pitches are great. Like watching him pitch, I'm

506
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: not like he's become one of the relievers in this

507
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: bullpen where like I'll sit back in my chair and

508
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: and like bey on my yeah, be like leading up

509
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: a little bit like watching, you know, And I guess

510
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: I mean I'm giving props for that.

511
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm always tense around dominic leone, but you know, he's

512
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: come up big two times against the Yankees, Like he

513
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 2: just got to become a believer, that's all it is.

514
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really true, and this guy's good. It was good,

515
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: good game, really good game too. Ye.

516
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: Big Italian game, Big Italian game, that's all gonna say.

517
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: Big Italian game is a big Italian team too. Like

518
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: the fact that they have Rizon Vault, he just hanging

519
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: around there. It's like, it's really ridiculous.

520
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: Right, let's talk about it too.

521
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: Let's game two. Game two a little bit more straightforward. Honestly, truthfully,

522
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 2: they just beat us and they were just a little

523
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: bit better, Like I don't there's no blame to point

524
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 2: to anybody. It's not like, hey, King Tana, you should

525
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: have pitched better, or hey the offense you should have

526
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: hit better. Like, yeah, there was moments in this game

527
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: where the Mets had opportunities, but obviously with baseball, we

528
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: know it just it doesn't work every single time. And

529
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: I wasn't watching this game frustrated in the way of

530
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: like my, how are we doing this? Going on? It

531
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: was like, dang, just couldn't get it done. Like Kantana

532
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: ended up like settling in pretty nicely in this game too.

533
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, cool to Kantana. Work through early in trouble for

534
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: the second start in a row to really like bring

535
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: the nose up and have a good start. And this

536
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: was also another start where the runs were It's kind

537
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: of like ah, like little Ding's little doing sackfly feel

538
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: the yeah, and like Kantana is, something that I told

539
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: you guys about his last start was that he was

540
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: much more sinker heavy than like any other pitch, which

541
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: I thought was interesting because in his career he's used

542
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: the sinker but mostly four seemers and there wasn't very

543
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: much curveball. This game was a lot of curveball. I

544
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: think it was like thirty thirty five to forty percent curveball,

545
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: and the curveball became his primary pitch and the sinker

546
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: was secondary, which is kind of the way Kantana has

547
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: built up his career the last few years and look

548
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: good doing it. Like once he got comfortably, he got

549
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: comfortable Yankees. The bottom of the Yankee order leaves a

550
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: lot to be desired. You could really steam through those guys.

551
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: It's kept getting out of trouble because yeah, and they

552
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: kept setting up like Kyle he got Shioka and as a.

553
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: Who's the home run Stroka the home run stroke.

554
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as I talk about as a kiner fallef

555
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: and he hit lead off for them, So yeah, but yeah,

556
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: it was just you can you get through some of

557
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: the scary guys and you get to there. He got

558
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: a couple of nice ground balls too, some of the

559
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: skier guys just funny too.

560
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: There's like what like maybe too. John Carlos sinton I

561
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: said he's a husk of himself. He's not the same person.

562
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: He's in chronic pain.

563
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: He also looks like he has like a tenuous grasp

564
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: on like where the flat ball is gonna land. Like

565
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: he walks over there and he's looking up. He's like,

566
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: oh god. He like takes two more steps. He's like,

567
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: oh God. Again, he like takes three more and it's like,

568
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: oh but yeah, look at it, and like you you

569
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: kind of like look at Katana right now, You're like,

570
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: we really missed this in May. You really just missed

571
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: a guy being out there every five days, just like

572
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: keeping the game in front of him. That and he

573
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: has played too to the worst offense in the league's

574
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: first two games. It's also his first two games after

575
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: mister season. It's a really good way to ease him

576
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: into this. But it's it's bittersweet to watching ton a

577
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: little bit right now because you're like he was pitching

578
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: in May, but with this was a good start.

579
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff was making some good plays around the field again,

580
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: he was he was evolved in a lot tonight. He

581
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 2: got drilled in the back, but by Carlos Rodani did

582
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: not seem happy, tossed the helmet. I thought, I thought

583
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: something was gonna happen there for a second. I was like,

584
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: Jeff about to go out there, but cooler heads prevailed.

585
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't think it was on purpose by any means.

586
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: I know, Gary keithan Ron were a little upset about that,

587
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: but you know what they should be. Mets get hit

588
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: more than any team in baseball. Something, you know, something

589
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: to just keep an eye out for. Definitely monitor what's

590
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 2: going on there. But yeah, Jeff was. He made that

591
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: sliding catch where he slipped on the Yankees outfield, which

592
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: is crazy. I don't know how that happens, but he slipped, slid,

593
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 2: caught the ball, made a great throw home. But Alvarez

594
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: just I mean, Harrison Bader made a great slide to

595
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: be fair, just couldn't get the tag On in time,

596
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: which was one of the runs Fianto's made the error

597
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 2: which led to a run as well. It was there

598
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: was bits and pieces here and there, but like Jeff

599
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: robbed a home run from Labor Torres. Like we said,

600
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: so at the end of the day, you can't point

601
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: at one or two things. It was just like, hey,

602
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: play a little bit better than they did, and that's

603
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: that's just the story of this game.

604
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: No, And there was another moment from the Jeff Roden

605
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: feud that again I was watching in Yesca, the my

606
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: Yankee friend's house, and I get the house rules, even

607
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: though I have to watch the Despicable Network. But they

608
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: they after Jeff made it out somewhere or later in

609
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: the game. Maybe it was the sixth inning, ro Don's

610
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: last inning, he just walked right across the mound. Yeah,

611
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: I thought that was that was that was really cool,

612
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: Like that a lot him and Roddan kind of showed

613
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: like a rye smile. And Roddan is a gamer and

614
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: he has big personality, so I don't even think he

615
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: was super ffriended by which I thought was really cool

616
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: of him to like not be a hard though about it.

617
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: Like the Dallas Braiden all those years ago with Aro

618
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: even though A just did it to a cert dominance,

619
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: which was crazy. You guy should watch that video if.

620
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: You have for Dallas Braiden. Yeah, a Ron Dallas Braden

621
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: just yelling at each other on the field because.

622
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: They run crownded out and just walked across them. A.

623
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: Rod is so much easier to appreciate retrospect than he

624
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: was in the moment. Yeah, Oh, it's unbelievable. I hate

625
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: his guts every single second he was a major league

626
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: baseball player. But now I'm like, this guy was the

627
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: king of comedy, even even though even even though he

628
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: fired me. But however, nevertheless it was it was nicely

629
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: that moment that was like a little bit of old

630
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: old school baseball ism back in this and Rodnn is

631
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: like an old school guy. And I kind of I'm

632
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: sorry for Yankee fans that they freaked out on him

633
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: over like two or three starts, because he's gonna be

634
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: one of the betther pictures in baseball, I feel like

635
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: over the second half, yet he could be actually the

636
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: lightning rod that drags them to the playoffs for being

637
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: quite honest, but and their only chance to beat any

638
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: of these American League teams in a playoff series is

639
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: Carlos Hordan. They were like, get Maddie, isn't like being here?

640
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: He rolled up the patch too, which was pretty cool.

641
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: That was crazy. He hit the chest hair going like

642
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: he was like basically an honorary Italian for this game.

643
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

644
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: As uh.

645
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: When I went out to dinner with him, I asked

646
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: him about, like what he thinks about the bat flips

647
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: and stuff. He's like, if I strike you out, I'm

648
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: gonna shove it in your face. You can shove it

649
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: in mind when you hit a home run off me. Like,

650
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: that's the kind of stuff you respect as an opposing

651
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: fan for sure.

652
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good attitude to happen. I feel like

653
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: as like as baseball keeps grit growing and like these

654
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: more younger players came in role to players leave like,

655
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of gonna be the most hard waste mentality.

656
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's gonna be like what becomes like

657
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: the eighty percent tile of hard those, right, and like

658
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: the sixtieh percentile of hard of those. That's gonna just

659
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: make this game a lot more fun. But that was

660
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: that was kind of it for this game. This was again,

661
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: this was pretty pretty cut and dry. I also will

662
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: say this Mets fans, like I know Trevor got had

663
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: some really bad outings, but like, look pretty good tonight.

664
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: Flat movement in those fastballs, the for seemer and the

665
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: color and the sinker. He's really just a fastball guy

666
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: with all three of the move in different directions. I

667
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: could see a way that's that winds up. Okay, it's

668
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: been bad so far, but the Himdere Smiths two winnings,

669
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: like they two walks, no hard hit balls. It was.

670
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: That was pretty clean after that and the Yankee bullpen,

671
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: and we talked about good guys. Those guys can really

672
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: do some things. Tommy Kanelee, Wandi Parole.

673
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: Those pitches move, they move, the Magic Wandy, Yeah.

674
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: Magic Wandi and your boy Tommy Kinley with the when

675
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: you see the ninety mind hour change up, it's like

676
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: really takes you back, like you're like, wow, that seems

677
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: really hard to hit.

678
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: During the All Star break, got a couple of Discord

679
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: calls from Tommy Cayneley trying to play some games late

680
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: at night, which is so funny to say out loud.

681
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: He's a real character, good guy again, wish he wasn't

682
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: on the Yankees because that could really root for him.

683
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: But you know, it is what it is. At the

684
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: end of the day, Mets are still seven and a

685
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: half out of the wild Card. Obviously, the trade deadline's

686
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: coming up. We're under a week away from that. August

687
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: first is the trade deadline where we don't know anything.

688
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: We're not gonna talk about rumors or anything like that

689
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: on the podcast. You guys know the drill. But I

690
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: will say all the players have been asked on the

691
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: Mets side about being traded or the possibility of it.

692
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: Every single one of them is very much like, no,

693
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: I came here, I want to get I want to

694
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: get a job done here. I want to be a Met,

695
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: I want to say In New York, Mark Kannon was

696
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: like please, no, like, don't don't get rid of me,

697
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 2: Like I love it here. Do you see how much

698
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 2: did you see the food I go and eat? Like

699
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: if you send me to Cincinnati, I'm gonna have to

700
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 2: get Skyline chili, Like what's the deal there? But uh,

701
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 2: it's good to see these guys want to be here.

702
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: Still, of course you picked like the only trade deadline

703
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: buyer who doesn't need an outfielder in the Cincinnati rest

704
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: they have like they're like five deep out there right now.

705
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: But Skyline Chili is low hanging fruit. I know that

706
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: you might as well take a shot at it, but

707
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: it is it isn't just again use the word again,

708
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: one of our favorite words in this podcast, bittersweet. That

709
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: we hear these guys talking, they're like, yeah, because everyone

710
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: signed on this team for a reason. These day, there

711
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: are real world series aspirations. In April feels like a

712
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: long time ago now, but that was it, and now

713
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: we're in the press office piss probably some of these

714
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: guys possibly being a different team.

715
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, we heard Steve Cohen talk about it, like when

716
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: he had the little press conference. He's like, hey, listen,

717
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 2: like we're gonna evaluate and do what's best for the team,

718
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: like this year, next year, moving forward, Like we gotta

719
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: we gotta think about a big picture here. So we'll

720
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: keep you guys posted on whatever happens. Of course, we

721
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 2: will probably be pretty active during the trade deadline. If

722
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 2: there's anything to talk about, we will be a place

723
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: you can come listen, So make sure you keep an

724
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: eye out for that. Let's go ahead and get to

725
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: the estimate because of course we had won this past

726
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: series and that was how many Yankee Stadium home runs

727
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: there would be. Essentially there was zero and I said one,

728
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: you said three, So another win for me. John has

729
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: still not gotten back to us about Boston, so we

730
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: have absolutely no clue what's going on there. But I

731
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: don't think you've won one in quite some time here.

732
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: It's been a minute.

733
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: No, I'm pretty sure I won the Dodgers one, the

734
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: first one out of the break, the total baby, Yeah,

735
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: I smashed. I smashed that one. Okay, Okay, on the board.

736
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: I think I have like three on you still though

737
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: right now. No, there was the Dodgers series, and then

738
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: we can name all the series. There was this Yankee series.

739
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: There was a Red Sox series. There was White Sox

740
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: in between. I remember one White Sox. I might have

741
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: won White Sox too, honestly.

742
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: No, I won White Sox because DJ Stewart home run.

743
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, long summ run. Okay, So it's not that crazy.

744
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: And I think I probably won the Boston one because

745
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: I had the under and it didn't seem like there

746
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: were that many monster shots.

747
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see.

748
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we want have to count that up in August

749
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: when John gets back to us with that, which I'm

750
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: just I'm saying that because it's going to be very soon.

751
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: But I know we're gonna do one series in July. Damn,

752
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: I almost got him, but almost got him, almost got him.

753
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm on a closter estimate. But well we'll

754
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: get back. We're fine, John has every time you know

755
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: you do. I mean, we're we're hot and cold on this,

756
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: both of us. So John texted me, texted us. The

757
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: estimate for this one is total.

758
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: Pictures use in a four game series. Because we do

759
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: have a four game series coming up against the Nationals,

760
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: probably gonna be a lot of pitching used, Probably gonna

761
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: be a lot, just like anytime there's a four game series,

762
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: all hands on deck as always, you're gonna be using

763
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: some guys in some different situations than they're used to.

764
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to think about, like, what's the average

765
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: amount of pictures that just gets used in a game

766
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: anyway that like, where do we go with this number here?

767
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: James, I'm just doing mental math right now.

768
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I'm taking a look at some box

769
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: scores here. All right, I'm gonna say yeah, I've got.

770
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: My number here other way I can we give you

771
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: two seconds?

772
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel good about it.

773
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: Teams eight.

774
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: I'm reading, I'm reading the numbers. Oh total pictures used?

775
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: Is it's not like if you use Trevor Gott twice

776
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: that only counts once. That counts as twice.

777
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: Correct. No, I think it's every picture that appears in

778
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: every game. Okay, it's no calculative number. Yeah, yeah, it's not.

779
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: It's not like if Trevor Got's used your key, he

780
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: doesn't count anymore.

781
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: Cool.

782
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,880

Speaker 1: You said for the people on YouTube.

793
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: You don't even show them, yeah, thirty four thirty four

794
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: verse thirty two.

795
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: I want to. I wanted to be under you.

796
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: Damn Mark with thirty two. James of thirty four, You

797
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: want to know where I did? I said, eight pictures

798
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: of game four games. That's where I went.

799
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did that, and I gave a little juice

800
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: on top, just in case we get like a juice like, yeah,

801
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: just in case someone gets someone some National we knock

802
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: him out like a second inning.

803
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: Which Nationals are playing like some okay baseball, Like they're

804
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: they're an okay team. They're not nearly as bad as

805
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: I think we thought they were, which is funny because

806
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: you tried to tell me they were horrible. I mean

807
00:30:59,320 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 2: that was foolish.

808
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: No, your hand up to me. I really thought they

809
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: were gonna have like like a historically bad season, like

810
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: something like some of these other historically bad teams are doing,

811
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: and we haven't seen.

812
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: We'll be saying, what the trade deadline is gonna make

813
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: them really bad though, because they're gonna lose Jamber Candelario,

814
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: who's been like one of their best hitters clearly this year.

815
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: My boy. But they we haven't even seen them in

816
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: like very long time. May fifteenth was last time we

817
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: had a game against Nationals. That was that four games

818
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: that we played in Washington, so a lot of things

819
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: have changed with this team. Number one thing that has

820
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: changed is that C. J. Abrams is kind of good now,

821
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: like he's a good baseball player. It just happened and

822
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: now he is good, and that's gonna be something before

823
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: we really start to break it down and give you,

824
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: guys are pitching matchups on Thursday, all seven ten games Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

825
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: then won for the on Sunday, very very classic series

826
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: right here. No no, no, no, no funny business, no curveballs,

827
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: code I Sango versus Josiah Gray, who's also just good.

828
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: Now that's a new thing. Max sure is a versus

829
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: Mackenzie Gore on Friday. Mackenzie Gore usually pitched quite well

830
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: against the Mets. He's usually find against everybody else. Saturday,

831
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: Carlos Krasko versus Patrick Corbin. That could be the game

832
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: where they are pitching. We really see our pitching number there.

833
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: And Sunday Matinee Justin Verlander versus old friend Trevor Williams

834
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: of the famous Trevor Williams trade.

835
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: There's a real, real question as whether or not Patrick

836
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: Corman will make that start. He could be on the

837
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: movie The Deadline very much could be they might not

838
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: want to pitch him right before the deadline either. There's

839
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: a possibility for that too.

840
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: We're missing Jake Irvan this series where I was just

841
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: looking around baseball today, through ninety seven miles an hour today,

842
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that. Yeah, Jake Gerban through ninety seven.

843
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: So maybe the Nationals are learning, maybe they're doing something

844
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: right that is happening to them, But they I don't know.

845
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: They they're an interesting team. They really don't strike out ever,

846
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: which is like kind of a funny thing. And they

847
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 1: also don't barrow the ball. They swing a bunch. They

848
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: don't like walk as much as many of the other teams.

849
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: They just go out there and play some ball. They

850
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: kind of like put the pressure on you. They have

851
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: a lot of contact. Hither A CJ is becoming a

852
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: high contact guy. Lane Thomas the high contact guy. The

853
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: new version of Dominic Smith is a high contact guy.

854
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: Plays a lot of pepper, just puts the balls like

855
00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: the bone and play.

856
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: It's like the old version when Don was in the minors.

857
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: Then he started hit for some more power at the

858
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: major level, major league level that he couldn't hit for power,

859
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: And now he's like you know what, I guess I'll

860
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: just hit for average. Although two sixty nine, like it's

861
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: above lye average, but that's not a high average by

862
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: any means.

863
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: No, it's not. It's pepper. It's a lot of pepper.

864
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: Lane.

865
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned Lane Thomas. He's having like one of those

866
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: like sneaky seasons where so you're gonna look at like,

867
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: Wae's Lane Thomas's page one day when he's on the

868
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: immaculate grid in like five years, you'd be like, WHOA,

869
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: Lane Thomas had a crazy twenty thirty twenty twenty three,

870
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: Like I don't know how that happened.

871
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: But where did that come from?

872
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just they're a pesky, pesky little team. They're

873
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: they're not bad. They're gonna play decent ball. They're starting.

874
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: Rotation has been a lot bad this year, which is

875
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: the main reason why they've gotten good. Josiah Gray is

876
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: kind of like doing something similar that is how like

877
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller has gotten good where he just like has

878
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: a lot of pitches right now. He's always really struggled

879
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: with his fastball. He was a pitch that could be hit.

880
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: He's also a smaller guy and a converted shortstop. So

881
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: pitching is still something that's like relatively new to him.

882
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: So crazy that he's mixing in you know, five, like

883
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: five six pitches and every time he goes on the mound,

884
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: but he just kind of leans. I believe it's his

885
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: curve BOM's double checker right now. Yeah, it's his curveball

886
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: and his slider, both actually quite good pitches, and he's

887
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: mixing a new sweep of this year has been good

888
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: and not use that much, but his fastball is always

889
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: something that's gotten cracked. As he's gotten beeathered with all

890
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: these pitches, he's kind of brought the fastball down a

891
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: little bit, let the off speeds and secondaries play up.

892
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: And he's a good pitcher that had a good little

893
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: games in the All Star Game too, and not good.

894
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: I like Josiah graz'z nice. It's nice to see him succeed.

895
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: Good story.

896
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: You were talking about CJ. Abrams as well. Since June thirteenth,

897
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: which is an arbitrary day, but this is the hot

898
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: streak for him. He is hitting three oh seven with

899
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: a three fifty on base five or four, slugging eight

900
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: fifty four ops, four homers, nine doubles, two triples, eleven RBIs,

901
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: and fourteen stolen bases in thirty four games. He has

902
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: had a run of it. So I picked him up

903
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: in Fantasy Baseball because I was like, oh, he's available,

904
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: got to pick up cj. Abrams. Hope he has a

905
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 2: terrible series against the Mets, that would make me very happy.

906
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: But he's been playing good ball and we also know

907
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: that he loves to hit against the Mets too. Is

908
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: like only home runs of the year he came against

909
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: the Mets at one point.

910
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a Met killer that that series in

911
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: May when things are starting to feel kind of bleak.

912
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: But even just I mentioned Lane Thomas before, he's in

913
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: two ninety with a one twenty WRC plus, sixteen homers,

914
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: twelve seals, sixty eight round scoretop this lineup, and my boy,

915
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: Jimer Candelario just the metronome three out of four years

916
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: of one twenty WRC plus as of right now. Just saying,

917
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it.

918
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 2: Out there, your boy, but you've pronounced his name different

919
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: to me every single time you've ever said it.

920
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: Said it.

921
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: There is a time, man, Jamer, Jamer Candelario. It's like

922
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: James James.

923
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: That's why I love him so much. Yeah, just a

924
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: good ballplayer, and he will probably be on the move

925
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: for probably contenders anyone needs a quarnerfield the could play thirty,

926
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: could play first. Good baseball player, Joey Baseball. Also Joey Manees.

927
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: Jamier Candelario, you are a New York Yankee.

928
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: That's my prediction, speaking of trades, that Mets fans might

929
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: not be able to live down the trade that went

930
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: down Wednesday even Oh yeah, let's just talk about there

931
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: for two minutes. Yeah, we maybe even three or four

932
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: because there that's a trade where there are basically no

933
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: winners and the only losers are potentially Mets fans. Where

934
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: I'm ed Rozario was sent from Cleveland, LA, who took

935
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: back Noah Cindergard. That was just like, how how could

936
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: this happens? Also funny because those guys are switching Dodgers

937
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: get everything I have, every guy, Like, imagine they can

938
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: actually Unlock's power. No imagine, I mean it's just like

939
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: and clear, like Cleveland's been so good with their pitching

940
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,959
Speaker 1: development every single year. Imagine they can actually get Cynder

941
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: Card back to being good. Like if this trade happens

942
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: like this, like really if you were a fan of

943
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: like twenty eight other teams in the league. You don't

944
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: care at all. It's a big nothing pizza right there,

945
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: like people who care.

946
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: Two players who've been abysmo going on twenty four calendar

947
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 2: months right now, and every Mets fans just like, oh no.

948
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: I was like, please, don't, don't not.

949
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: That it is.

950
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: This is when in August. I don't know, amagers, are

951
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: you any four home runs in August? I can't. I

952
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: can't do it. I might can't take.

953
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: It, especially if the Dodgers are making a postseason run.

954
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: Can't handle that? Can't You might become the starting shortstop

955
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: if things pan out.

956
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: We're talking about Miguel Rojas last night and texts who

957
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: cares now might be a better sios.

958
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: This is how they got me.

959
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,920
