13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: with James sultry sounds at Jeter had no range. James,

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: it's a series against the Orioles.

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: Did you just describe my internet voice as sultry like

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: the words I type sultry? Yes, I know how you

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: could personify typed words, but yeah, sure, get back to

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: the game.

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: Can you not say sultry for voice?

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: You can't soldiery for voice, but you may sound like

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: the words the tweets the Twitter.

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: That's true, A little bit of both a little bit

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: of non point non point anyway, Mets Baltimore Orials. This

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: was a series we were hoping to take two. We

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: took one. Two pretty horrible games either way you slice

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: it like Mets big winning game two, big loss in

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: game one. Super weird initial thoughts. What are you just

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: thinking about the series as a whole.

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: There were just four interesting innings through two games, which

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: is bad just from an entertainment standpoint, like I want

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: to watch these games, want to enjoy these games, and

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: both of them are borderline unwatchable. From a team standpoint,

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: I think it's fine that they got where they had

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: to go tonight after playing an awful shit game yesterday.

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: As I wrote in our notes, that was pure uncultured shit.

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: But like, thank goodness that they retained like some of

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: the momentum they grabbed over the weekend.

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: With the Padres.

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: But isn't it weird that the weekend they split the

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: series and we're like one of the teams in National

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: League we can't get enough of the Mets. The Mets

42
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: earn so much respect this we can splitteries of the

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: Orioles immediately after.

44
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: This team stinks. I can't believe I did that. What's

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: going on? Well, we're gonna fix before the weekend. Yeah.

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: I got called Frank the Tank on Twitter yesterday by Darren.

47
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: I did too.

48
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: Someone tagged me one of his one of his tweets,

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Patty Coates, who follows us pretty intently, So yeah, thanks Patty.

50
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah No, Darren a seven line guy friendly. He likes

51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: to give me crap about my fake jerseys and stuff.

52
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: But he came at me, calling me, oh, stop it, Frank,

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, listen, I just said the

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: Mets lost Game one. I was like, it's over. Like,

55
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: we can move on. Go do go, spend time with

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: your family, go do something. You don't need to watch

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: this game. It's over. I got called Frank the Tank.

58
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: That's probably one of the lowest moments in my life.

59
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: I've got to say, painting us as the negative members

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: of Mets Twitter is a ridiculous accusation, a bold claim

61
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: that's unfounded. I won't stand for it. Yeah. No, we're

62
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: the We're the positive guys. We're the happy ones. From

63
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: the start, we've been telling you this team is gonna

64
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: be good. And even though we did split with the

65
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: bad Baltimore Orioles there's some stuff to take from each

66
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: and every game still as we always find our silver

67
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: line even in the losses. Let's get it started with

68
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: Game one. Gonna be tough. We're gonna really have to

69
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: dig through some shit to find something here because it

70
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: was just a bad game. I mean, at the start

71
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: it looked really good. But then David Peterson is just

72
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: a mess. I don't know what's going on with.

73
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: Him, awful. I did a deep dive into Peterson today.

74
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: They trying to figure out what was wrong. I posted

75
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: a tweet about it, just the fact that he is

76
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: just not the same guy, especially against right handed pitching

77
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: since that dominant out thing he had in Tampa Bay.

78
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: But just to get into his entire start, like it's

79
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: so deflating to give up a first inning lead, Like

80
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: when you get on the board top of the first

81
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: inning and you take you the possibility to take control

82
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: of a game. You had this comment to me last

83
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: week and we're just talking casually that if you could

84
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: put the zero on the board there, you changed the

85
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: entire game. You take the team right out of it.

86
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: It's a shutdown inning, and that's a second straight start.

87
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: He had a shutdown inning in the first and he

88
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: just gave it right away.

89
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: Right away, immediately gave it away, and it was just

90
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: so clear again, just like in Arizona last week, just

91
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: like a few times over the course of this season

92
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: where he just did not have it from the jump.

93
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: He didn't.

94
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: He just didn't have it at all. The Oriels are

95
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: playing the ball in play NonStop. They weren't swinging missing anything.

96
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: He wasn't getting any call strikes ever. It's just every

97
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: single thing was hit a ble or it was just

98
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: non competitive. Yeah, he's always had the issue with control.

99
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: Even last year, like he had those games where he

100
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: will just lose it for an inning, and that's gonna

101
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: happen with the dude who's six foot four to six

102
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: foot five, I don't remember how tall he is. It's

103
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: a large human being, but his mechanics are super super

104
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: hard to replicate every single time because there are so

105
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: many moving parts, which is why it was even so

106
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: crazy that Randy Johnson was as good as he was

107
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: considering how massive of a human he is. But David

108
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: Peterson is not Randy Johnson. So when things are not clicking,

109
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: it goes really really bad. And we've seen that the

110
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: last two starts. It's got people thinking about like the

111
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: motion for this guy, Like I know you're gonna go

112
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: deep into the numbers here, but I don't think that

113
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: there's really anything positive you can pull from that start,

114
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: Like it's it's tough.

115
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: No.

116
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: David Peterson's defense him at twenty five is pretty similar

117
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: to Randy Johnson's twenty five Dave piers Are can have

118
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: a renaissance in ten years.

119
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't affect the Mets right now.

120
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: With effects the Mets right now is the fact that

121
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: we have we're averaging more than one game a day

122
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: for the next month. And Rojas said it pretty candidly

123
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: after the game that they would like to have David

124
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 2: Peterson work out this tough stretch in the minor leagues

125
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: at Syracuse, but they just don't have that ability right now.

126
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: They don't have that luxury let him do that. And

127
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: I think it's worth noting too. I saw Tim Ryder,

128
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm a Mets fan, get a little podcast over there

129
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: independent journalist yeap, Yes, give him a follow. He talked

130
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: about how at the beginning of the year he had

131
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: a tweet where he said, like, hey, Peterson is not

132
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: going to necessarily be the pitcher that we expect, but

133
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: it's really because he hadn't made starts really above double

134
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: A before last year. No, and he just went right

135
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: up to the majors because the Mets needed him, so

136
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: he stepped up. He's still like relatively young in his

137
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: pitching days because he still hasn't even seen most of

138
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: the miners. So like we shouldn't have expected him to

139
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: just come out and be really good and like this

140
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: young rookie prospect that we have that's gonna be able

141
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: to come into this rotation and be like a legitimate piece.

142
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: I think that was maybe asking a little bit too much,

143
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: But also I don't think we expect him to be

144
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: as bad as he's looked. Definitely.

145
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: The thing that frustrates me the most about Peterson is

146
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: that he was a first round pick. It's I don't

147
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: understand like the process of taking guy in the first

148
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: round who maxes out in like the low mid nineties

149
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: at the time, did not have a dominant breaking ball.

150
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start talking about a Slyther once we're in

151
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 2: a moment, but it doesn't make any sense as to

152
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: why a sinker, change up guy without velocity could get

153
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: into the first round.

154
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a very What draft did he go in?

155
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Do we know? Fifteen? I'm trying to think, like, is

156
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: that Sandy who made that pick? Or is it was

157
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: a Brodie pick?

158
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: It was twenty seventeen Peterson got drafted. That was the

159
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: last year of the first Sandy Aldison regime.

160
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: That was like the three headed monster right when they

161
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: were going with like three different guys. I think at

162
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: once Ricardi, yeah, Rizy or whatever his name was, like

163
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: it was. It's a questionable pick. Hindsight's always twenty twenty.

164
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm sure when the Mets picked David Peterson

165
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: they didn't think that he was gonna not really grow

166
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: in to be a more you know, v low heavy pitcher.

167
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: Dude's huge, he should throw harder. Not the point anyway,

168
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: what we saw in the field was not strong, not good.

169
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: And it's a second straight start. Many starts that he's

170
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: done this year have looked very similar to this. He

171
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: seems to lose it and when he loses it, like

172
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: he's gone, he can't find it.

173
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: It's we're at the point now this season where we

174
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: have to admit that Peterson is not going to be

175
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: like the strikeout with like two to three guy that

176
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: we expected, like especially in the near future the next

177
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: couple of years, especially this one, he probably should just

178
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: be a contact guy because it seems like he was

179
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: trying to make an adjustment, one that I was lauding

180
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: him for to become more of the forcing fastball slider guy,

181
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: and that was working in a way certain times.

182
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: But it has given.

183
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: It has lowered his floor so so much, much more

184
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: than I ever even thought it could, Like when he

185
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: was ripping that backfoot slider to ride these was a

186
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: couple of starts he was great, the one of Philadelphia,

187
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: especially one in Tampa Bay, and I'm going to reference

188
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: a lot like he looked like a pretty like good pitcher.

189
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: Like that made you go like, there he is. Yeah,

190
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: that's what we've been waiting for. That's what they saw,

191
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: That's what they thought they were gonna get. Now we're

192
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: seeing the picture where you go, like what, I'm not

193
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: sure what they thought because like he just I compared

194
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: to him Steven Matts, and I hate it. Matt's had

195
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: better stuff anyway, So that's just like one thing off

196
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: the table completely. But like the idea of where like

197
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: Matts would have that avalanche inting where everything with snowball, snowball,

198
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: snowball and be eight runs. And it feels like Peterson's

199
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: that same way. Where last year in twenty twenty, he

200
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: was able to get out of those innings pretty cleanly,

201
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: still got into plenty of trouble, but was able to

202
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: get out of him. This year, it seems like he

203
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: can't figure it out and make that adjustment mid game

204
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: to get out of these innings.

205
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: And definitely, like a lot of it is body language.

206
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: I think he sucks a little bit. He seems to

207
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: get behind himself when the ump screw something up for him.

208
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: But last night there was none of this. He just

209
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: got dominated by the Oarls, especially the Orioles right handed bats.

210
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: And that is where Peterson has struggled over this stretch.

211
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: That is where he's become this pitcher who seems unpitchable

212
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: at times. From opening Day through that start against the Rays,

213
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: Peterson was striking out twenty seven percent of ridis, was

214
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: only walking ten percent of them. Their wOBA was three twenty.

215
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: That's very good, no less thand the pitcher doesn't throw gas.

216
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: That's pretty good stuff. That was in thirty three and

217
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: the third innings since that race starts. So he's at

218
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: thirteen innings sins, which I think it's four starts, which

219
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: is not good. Thirteen innings and four starts a really

220
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: really really bad spot to be. He has a seventeen

221
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: percent strikeout, so down ten percent, eleven percent walk that's

222
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: similar for sixty wOBA.

223
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's huge.

224
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: People are not striking out more against him, and they're

225
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: hitting the ball harder and more favorable outcomes when it

226
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: goes in play. Specifically, the thing that he's lost since

227
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: then is that backfoot slider. And I was looking at

228
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: like his mechanics and stuff the last couple of days,

229
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: really just today trying to figure this out for the

230
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: listeners at home. I looked a lot of his location.

231
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: Location is the thing that he's screwing up.

232
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: Oh, he can't hit a spot for his life right now.

233
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Now everything's outside, outside, outside, outside, And he used to

234
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: have much.

235
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 2: More confidence with throwing that slider in the zone. That's

236
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: something he's completely lost. I thought this was going to

237
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: be a whiff problem with Peterson. I figured like he

238
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: wasn't getting the same bite, wasn' getting the same movement

239
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: that combined with the location, maybe something mechanical that was

240
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: what was wrong, and I thought the day that bore

241
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: that out, because that slider is striking out thirteen percent

242
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: less right handed batters since that Tampa Bay start, and

243
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: it's also getting a viscerated. He has the same amount

244
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: of extra base hits given up on that slider in

245
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: the thirteen innings since that Tampa as the thirty three

246
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: innings before. So clearly hitters have found a way to

247
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: hit it, and it's because he's just not getting ahead

248
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: of them with that pitch. He has not gotten one

249
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: called strike against the right handed batter with that slider. Oh,

250
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: since Tampa Bay.

251
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: That's so fun. That's so bad because if essentially, if

252
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: you're a right handed hitter, you can basically sit fastball

253
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: and if you see any sort of break, you can

254
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: just spit on it because it's not going to be

255
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: a strike exactly or when it's in the strike zone.

256
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 2: As I said, they're annihilating it, like the WOLB was

257
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: over nine hundred and the less thirteen inning specifically on

258
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: the slide. That's a small sample, of course, keep that

259
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: in mind, but they're crushing it, and the whiff rates

260
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: are the same, the swing strike strike rates are the same.

261
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: They're just absolutely so aware of if this pitch is

262
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: going to be a meatball or at their feet and

263
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: they're crushing it.

264
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just not been very good, which is disappointing

265
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: because this was a guy who we thought coming into

266
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: the season could be a nice, little, you know, serious

267
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: cognless rotation. He's if the Mets didn't have the injuries

268
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: that they had, if the Mets had just a little

269
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: bit more depth even at the starting rotation, even though

270
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: like that's not really truly their issue. It's really more

271
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: so the injuries that Yamamoto is on, the sixty day

272
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: Cindergard Carrasco, all these guys are hurt, and then they

273
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: have to add guys to the roster, like adding Iicoff.

274
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: People are talking about Jared Icoff first off, Like I

275
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: don't really know how much better Jared Iykoff's going to

276
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: be over David Peterson, but they have to add him

277
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: to the forty mint, which means they then have to

278
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: take somebody off or somebody has to hit the eel

279
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: and then eventually that person's gonna come back and they're

280
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to kick him right back off. So like

281
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: I think Ikoff is like a worst case scenario, emergency situation. Unfortunately,

282
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: it seems like Peterson's just gonna have to figure out

283
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: the major league level.

284
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: Ikoff becomes the phantom injury replacement. Yeah, we see teams

285
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: do this all the time. We've seen the Mets do

286
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: it sometimes. I thought that yam Mother was a phantom

287
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 2: injury before they put them on the sixty, which even

288
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: I guess it still could be. I'm not gonna make

289
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: claims or accusations, but it was really weird that it

290
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: happened when he seems healthy and just pitched like shit.

291
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: But that is the way you get Jaila Cuff on

292
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: this roster, because I don't know if the Mets are

293
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 2: willing to cut a guy from the forty men as

294
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: thin as their position player corps are. Because another underrated

295
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: story from Tuesday Night's game was how awful the offense

296
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: was lifeless.

297
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: After the first inning, first sitting Lindor got the walk,

298
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: Pete hit the home run. That was it cool? And

299
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: Pete's homer late in the game, but you know whooped,

300
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: you do? But everyone was dead. It was a dead

301
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: fish game. Yeah, it seemed like the Mets kind of

302
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: came into Baltimore a little bit like, we don't even

303
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: have to play that well, we just split with the Padres.

304
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: This is the Orioles. We're gonna come out play our

305
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: baseball and be fine. And then Peterson, I mean, like

306
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: it from a player perspective, I'm sure it's also not

307
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: easy to play behind a guy who was walking. Everybody

308
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: gave up the lead just like that when you earned

309
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: it nice and easy in the first inning. You went

310
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: from being in the driver's seat to playing from behind

311
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: real quickly. And I think we also have to give

312
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: a little cut, a little slack, heer to Gasalman. He

313
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: also did not pitch well either. So Peterson didn't pitch well,

314
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: but Gselman didn't come in and stopped the bleeding either.

315
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: Could be a little bit because Baltimore is just such

316
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: a hitters park because someone else didn't look sharp.

317
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: No, a place like Camden Yards is a literal nightmare

318
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: for Robert Gazelman because the bat is always going on

319
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 2: the ball. Yeah, and the bat on the ball in

320
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: Camden Yards means something much worse than the bat on

321
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: the ball in most Major League ballparks. So that's just

322
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: recipe for disaster that he was in there from mop

323
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: up duty. It is also funny that people on Twitter

324
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: were saying, like Gazelma should be getting these starts.

325
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: He should not be getting these starts people.

326
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: Robert Gazelman is so perfect in the role he's in now,

327
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: which is like the big lead guy or the trying

328
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: to stay in a game guy. We need a couple

329
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: of innings, we need a bridge, and we kind of

330
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: have to get like a little bit lucky for this

331
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: to be effective. That's kazelmen. You don't want him to

332
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: get over exposed like he was on Tuesday.

333
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mets are gonna have to get real creative with this.

334
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: You know, every five days go figure. Peterson's the biggest

335
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: question work right now, not Lukezy. I don't think we

336
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: saw that coming.

337
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: And I want to bring up Lukaz a second, just

338
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: because of a funny stat from this game. The Mets

339
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: got doubled to death on Tuesday night. Double to death.

340
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: Gave up seven doubles in the game. So many as

341
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: so many, but shockingly, like when I was doing some

342
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: research day about this, that was not even the most

343
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: doubles the Mets allowed this season.

344
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: That's wild. That's so many.

345
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: It was that crazy awful Saturday game in Tampa where

346
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: Joey Lukes was on the mound.

347
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: He gave him eight doubles to the raise eight. Yeah,

348
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: that was a real good game that we hung out

349
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: on the terrafs. We we weren't watching too much of

350
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: that because we're like, oh, this game's over, Yes, wonderful,

351
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: We'll not suffer much longer through this. Don't have to

352
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: deal with it anymore as what happened with this game.

353
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: But also a funny thing from Game one, I listened

354
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: to most of on the radio, and Howie and Wayne

355
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: Randaz were in their element. They were spewing nonsense. They

356
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: were just having a blast from the jump. They were

357
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: talking about like COVID, they were talking about like each other.

358
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: Like it was so bizarre that like just a listen

359
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: to them talk about nothing because this game had nothing.

360
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do. No, it was seriously and

361
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: like kind of was the theme for the series. Because

362
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: Game two, I think we're done with Game one here.

363
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Game two was just a game of nothing except we

364
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: happened to win. I mean, like it really wasn't nothing

365
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: because we scored fourteen runs, which we just don't do often.

366
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: I think we had our highest run total against the

367
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: Orioles the last time out, so like we don't score

368
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: that many runs, but it was good to see the

369
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: offense hitting and absolutely annihilate Matt Harvey again, which further

370
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: cements the whole thing that Harvey's just done, doesn't have

371
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: it and will not be back on this New York

372
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: Mets team ever.

373
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: No, of course, but like now we're beating a dead horse,

374
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: Like this is kind of sad Harvey's era since that.

375
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: So it was like in the fours going into that

376
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: game at City feel that we were at watching them

377
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: get crushed. That sends this whole season, and it issy

378
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: going into today's game, the era was over twelve and

379
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: a half, so afterwards, I'm sure it's nearing like fifteen sixteen.

380
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I think he was at like six' nine

381
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: entering the, game but like since.

382
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: That's starting on the, season he's like bottom three in the,

383
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: league possibly the. WORST i think the only guys would

384
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: higher eras than him going into the day Where Mitch

385
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: keller And Luis, castillo Mel Shoe, Schuemacher Matt.

386
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Schumacher, okay, yeah SO i mean you're talking, about, Well

387
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Louis castillo should be, better not. Important Matt harvey just

388
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have. It, No we like talked about it was

389
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: nice that it seemed like he got closure almost like

390
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: the last time he came back and like got really

391
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: introspective and was talking like kind of very, mature which

392
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: we haven't seen from. Him thought that could have maybe,

393
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: been you, know something that maybe pushed him, forward like

394
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: could lift that weight off his shoulders a little. Bit

395
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: but clearly it is. Not he's been screwed. THEM i

396
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: might have honestly screwed them up like.

397
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: That the motion running through might have been a realization

398
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: moment From Matt harvey where he was, like what happened

399
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: to my? Life like it's, Sad like this guy was

400
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: at the top of this profession and now he's had

401
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: stints with The angels and The, a's The royals in

402
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: the minor. Leagues, yeah now The, orioles like that is

403
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: THE mlb pitching, Graveyard like those are the teams who

404
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: pick up garbage on a regular.

405
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Basis Matt harvey was strictly signed by The orioles because

406
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: he had a pulse and could throw a. Baseball that's.

407
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: It they needed a starting. Pitcher he filled that. Void it's.

408
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: Crazy they tried to Get Felix, hernandez who hasn't been

409
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: good in five. Years at least they had the gall

410
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: to cut. Him, yeah put him out of his. Misery. Yeah,

411
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: no But mett's got off to a strong offensive start.

412
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: Again lindor walked to Pe alanzo home, run start the

413
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: game off to. Nothing. Fantastic taiwan then comes out for

414
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: the first inning and Does taiwan stuff and it was

415
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: an interesting first, inning but gets out of. It what

416
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: do you mean when you Say taiwan stuff because he

417
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: did not start the game. Hot he had a very Shaky,

418
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: No i'm saying like he Does taiwan, stuff where like

419
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: he gets out of. It he's a.

420
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: Bulldome he's always. Battling that was a good old fashioned.

421
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: Rally three singles for The oriols to. Manufacture. Run all

422
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: the old school baseball people out there is, yeah what

423
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: effected that is got one? Run, yeah really good for

424
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: The orioles that they were still losing after a first

425
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: ending when they got three, hits and it really really

426
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: fucked him for the game because we went crazy right after. That,

427
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: yeah the offense went off And taiwan settled, in but

428
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: it was really. Nice let's just focus on the offense,

429
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: first to see everybody in the outfield hit a home run,

430
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: tonight and we saw two Out Did Kevin plarr hit

431
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: two as? Well, Yes Kevin plaarer hit two home, Runs

432
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: billy McKinny hit two home, runs And Mason williams hit

433
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: a home. Run so the outfield almost hit six home runs,

434
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: combined which would have been crazy because the names that

435
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: we just threw out there should never hit that many

436
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: home runs in the single. Game billy McKinney has seven

437
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: on the, year, SECOND i think on the, team second or, third,

438
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: whatever he is, seveven oh, my seven home runs on

439
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 2: the season in his fifteen or twenty games that he's.

440
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: Played So billy bombs. Man he just continues to be

441
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: a really nice, player even after having that like mess

442
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: up in the first.

443
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: Inning yeah, Whatever But billy has been such a godsend

444
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: for this. Team like we were probably irrationally excited about

445
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: his acquisition when it happened a few weeks, ago but

446
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: suddenly the, guy like you, said second then team in home.

447
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: Runs he has played all three outfield, positions and he

448
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: got his defense actually not not.

449
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: Good he's probably league, average if not below.

450
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: Average, sure he's HIT i think in six different spots

451
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: in our lineup like he is mister doo with all

452
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: right now he's He's Billy, america All american.

453
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: Bill Plugging billy bombs, anywhere and he's gonna get the job.

454
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: Done he did it again. Tonight good to See pullar

455
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: hitting for some power and you, know looking. Comfortable and

456
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: he hasn't not looked comfortable ever since the face. Things

457
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: he's been really. Good. Mason Mason williams hits his First

458
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: met home run against his former team and the last

459
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: team that he played against while he was An oriole

460
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: was The, mets which is very. Funny and this might

461
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: be his last game as A New York met Because

462
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: albert Al mora looks like he's on his way, back

463
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: And Mason williams probably just gets the you, know UNLUCKY

464
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: dfa because they don't have room for, him and they're

499
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,800

530
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: it come, On. Matt but the offense was good. Pitching

531
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: let's talk About taiwan, because like we, said rough, start

532
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: but he settled in right after that First he.

533
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: Was settling in doesn't even describe. It he was just

534
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: cool as a, cucumber like he was just. Perfect he

535
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: mixed all five of his. Pitches he was getting pluns

536
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: of called. Strikes they're making like not that much hard.

537
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 2: CONTACT i think he only gave up four or five

538
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: hardred balls on the, game.

539
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: And it seemed like a couple of them were right

540
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: back to, Him like he got that one drive FROM

541
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: Dj stewart that was scary but also a nice.

542
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: Play he did that like a few times are he

543
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 2: fielded the ball on the mound and he didn't move

544
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: like he immediately threw. It what kind of psychopath throws

545
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: to first base from the? Mound like are you're begging

546
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: begging to roll an?

547
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: Ankle and he Hit pete right in the chest every

548
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: single Time stroman spiked. It the other, Day taiwan ran

549
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: on the.

550
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: Muff he looked like someone like playing tennis, doubles like

551
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: the front, man or like a, pickleballer where he was

552
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: just like stopping things for getting past the. Mountain, yes

553
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 2: that's a very good an, analogy but like there wasn't

554
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: even that much to go into with, Him like his

555
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: whiff rate was not that, great but he's getting a

556
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: lot of called. Strikes he mixed all his. Pitches he

557
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: would sicker, heavy like there's just a Good. Taiwan he's

558
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: just become like our staff's like, oatmeal like we can

559
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: count On taiwan every every five. Days he's gonna get,

560
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 2: innings he's gonna put some position to win the, game

561
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: and he's just gonna be.

562
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: GOOD i don't know what the pitch is being classified,

563
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: as but he was throwing what looked like a two

564
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: seam a little bit tonight and it was it was

565
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: working really really. Well was throwing it to the, lefties

566
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: cutting back into the. Plate that pitch was. Money it

567
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: gave me like shades Of bartolo's almost a little bit

568
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: where it's, like looks like he's gonna hit, him and

569
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: then it hits the inside corner Like Freddy galvis took

570
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: a couple of pitches like that and was, LIKE i

571
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: GUESS i can't hit. Those he was looking really. STRONG

572
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: i was happy to See taiwan come out after a

573
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: shaky start In San diego look good. Again.

574
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 2: DEFINITELY i think that pitch is what's classified as a,

575
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: sinker BECAUSE i think sinkers and two seamers become, like,

576
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: yeah a little anonymous on like The Baseball savon.

577
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: Database but he looked.

578
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: Great he did we needed to, do and it's pretty

579
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 2: cool that we're heading into our last off day for a.

580
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,960

582
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: Tuesday, yeah and we get to get it started with our.

583
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: Ace jacob De gram the best pitcher in, baseball arguably

584
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: the best player in the game of. Baseball, YES i

585
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: will say that he is With Mike trout. Hurt he

586
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: is definitely top. Two especially the fact that he can

587
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: hit just Like.

588
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: Otani that gives him like the slight bump because he's

589
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: like a much better pitcher and like at a way worse.

590
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: Hitter, yeah so much is more than way in the. Situation,

591
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: Definitely and he's also like fast Like otani, too fifty

592
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: six fastest player In Major League. Baseball i'm gonnakeep.

Speaker 1: say there's no.

600
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,000

601
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: entire season, SAMPLE, Mvp, literally he'd be one of the

654
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: Season and just like we said with The padre series last,

655
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: time this is not a series that we should be worried.

656
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: About we could go into this series and win two

657
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: of three without a. Doubt The lukez game is gonna be.

658
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: Uphill but With strumman and To grom going two of

659
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: the games in the, SERIES i understand they also have

660
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: two very good pitchers pitching And snell And, musgrove BUT

661
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: i think ours could arguably be better, Sometimes SO i

662
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: mean To grom one hundred, Percent stroman kind depends What

663
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: musgrove And struman you see on the. Day but this

664
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: is a series that The. Mets there's there's no have to,

665
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: win but it'd be really nice to see The mets

666
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: win two out of. Three. Yeah anything more than, that

667
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: oh my. Goodness anything less than. THAT i don't think

668
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: IT'S i don't think it's, like you, know start, calling

669
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: ringing the. Alarms it's not anything to worry. About you're

670
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: playing one of the best teams in. Baseball we're starting

671
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: to get some guys back. Healthy i'm really excited for

672
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: the series because the atmosphere is gonna be. Great it's

673
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna feel like playoff baseball In. June i'm super excited

674
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: for this.

675
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: Series the fact that we're getting going toe to toe

676
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: with them in such a short period of, time it

677
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: almost feels like a playoff.

678
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: Series.

679
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: Yeah the fact that we're playing seven games against The

680
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: padres in ten. Days, yeah and it's and we got

681
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: four In San diego three In New, york which is,

682
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: like in, theory what could happen in AN. Nlcs The

683
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: padres most likely will with a better.

684
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: Record than The, mets but we're like in first. Place,

685
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: yeah bad were playing a bad. Division that's why we're

686
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: not a good. Team we're not a good. Team we

687
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: don't have any good. Players we didn't go seventeen to

688
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: nine with a TRIPLE a. Roster it's that's wro only

689
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: six games over five hundred In. June that's like not. Enough,

690
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: no we haven't seen that happen in a very long.

691
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: TIME i don't even think The World series year The.

692
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: Mets we're doing this well In. June So i'm feeling so,

693
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,000

694
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: long even in the down times for, us and last

695
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: week you said, It you're, like this team cannot do

Speaker 1: A Baltimore oriole series and we did get smacked one,

699
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,600

00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: still win sixty games a, Season so you're telling me

704
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: that those sixty wins only come against teams that are

705
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,920

Speaker 2: Good those guys just fucking rake like they the three

749
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: of the best hitthers now in THE i don't even

750
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: know it used to be called The New York Penn.

751
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: LEAGUE i don't know if the shuffling in the minor

752
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: league has changed the.

753
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: Name but those three are lead mid mid season reports

754
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: are coming out now for a lot of these, prospects

755
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: and they're counting for over a year of, data and

756
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: there's a good chance that all three of those guys

757
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: find themselves in the top, fifty and That risio And

758
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: alvarez both of himselfs in the top twenty five.

759
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: Even, YEAH i THINK i think those three guys top

760
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: fifties a. Lock Specifically Alvarez mauricio have to because they

761
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: were close to begin. WITH i Think alvarez might have

762
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: already been he, Was, YEAH i think he's like thirty.

763
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: Something maybe he definitely could be top twenty. Five i'd

764
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: be shocked if he's. Not with how he's catching and,

765
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: HITTING i THINK i think top ten And mauricio is

766
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: turning into the player that we've been waiting. For the

767
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: powers finally come For, mauricio which has always been the

768
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: knock with, him and he's hitting for. Power he's hit

769
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: more home runs so far this year than he. DID i,

770
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: think like the two seasons.

771
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: Combined in The, Miners baby, Too baby has a slow

772
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: start to the season power, wise he was still getting

773
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: on base a good, clip and he still had like

774
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: pretty good play.

775
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: Discipline he had gap. Power but now he's starting playing

776
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: the ball over the.

777
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,600

00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: Great New York mets team for time to. Come but

787
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: there's also some other players that are a little less

788
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: notable or a little under the. Radar to mention a

789
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: couple pitchers though THAT i know you're super excited about

790
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,920

793
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: Jt that guy we picked Form Mississippi state made his

794
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: debut With Saint, lucy was coming Off Tommy john. Surgery

795
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: this was a guy, who if he didn't Have Tommy,

796
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: john was a first round, talent electric Stuff Tommy. John

797
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: it was a little bit tougher because you had to

798
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: then keep him away from going back to college to

799
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: play for that first round. Pick but The mets gave

800
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: him some money because they saved some money with other.

801
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: Picks he made his. Debut, YEAH i mean he's gonna

802
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: be brought along.

803
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: Slowly he's a young kid coming Off Tommy john. Surgery

804
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: this is not going to be an easy. Process but

805
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: when three, innings one, strikeout two, walks gave up some,

806
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 2: HITS i think gave him a couple of. Runs, like

807
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: it's just nice to see him playing professional baseball and

808
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: just building up that, confidence learning how to face, hitters

809
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: like facing a.

810
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: Higher level of competition than he was in. College, like

811
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: this is a very good thing FOR JT. Jt for

812
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: j and then the guy that you gave shout out

813
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: to the last, One. TYLER i think we're gonna call, him, Right,

814
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: Tyler tyler, McGill i think they're gonna Be, yeah how's

815
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: he looking because he's In TRIPLE a, Now, yeah he

816
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: may his first start In TRIPLE a for The Syracuse.

817
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: Mets he went four innings with four strikeouts and two,

818
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: walks gave up to her and run so. Fine pretty

819
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: good for his first exposure to a new level of.

820
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: Hitting it wasn't the dominance he was displaying At DOUBLE,

821
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: a but the fact that he was still striking out

822
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: an adequate amount of players while. Control i'm sure it wasn't,

823
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: great but that's a good that step in the right

824
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: direction for a guy WHO i think The mets are

825
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: expecting to contribute at some degree at the major league

826
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: level this. Season this was a positive appearance for.

827
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: Him, Yeah, no, definitely it's. Good he's a guy that

828
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: we just got to keep in the back of our.

829
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: Minds we talked About icoff being an emergency pitcher If

830
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: tyler McGill continues to pitch well and you don't necessarily

831
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: want to you, know Burn I. Coff yet McGill could

832
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: be a guy you could throw on there and you

833
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: have options and you really don't have to worry too

834
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: much about, it.

835
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: Definitely And tom also to Mention THOMAS. A pooki struggled On,

836
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: tuesday the same night That peterson. Pitch it is interesting

837
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: they're on the same, schedule but he look very good

838
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: then have. Commands he was giving up a lot of

839
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: our contacts that many stake. Out it's kind of the

840
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: same stuff we said About. Peterson they seem like one

841
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: and the.

842
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: Same it seems like if you just flip flop, them

843
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: similar things will be.

844
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: Happening they're just both on that very similar level where

845
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: they don't have elite stuff and they'll sometimes it'll, work

846
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: sometimes it will.

847
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: Not but, yeah yah, yahda that's. Whatever, well that brings

848
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: me to WHAT i was talking to you about earlier

849
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: before we, started where there is this like weird discrepancy

850
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: Between TRIPLE a And Major League. Baseball the gap has

851
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: never been. BIGGER i don't know who tweeted. OUT i

852
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: THINK mlb Random stats talked about it even, that like

853
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: guys Like kessen, Here Jared, Kelnick Taylor, tremmel like these

854
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: are all guys Who Joe, Adell Joe adell mash at

855
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: The TRIPLE a. Level they are by far way too

856
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: good for. It but then once they get to the

857
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: major something happens and they don't. Perform it seems like

858
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: the gap is bigger than, ever and it seems Like

859
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: peterson And zupuoki are stuck in this gap where they

860
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: can't they're FOUR a players, Basically.

861
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah FOUR a, Players AND i know that the big

862
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: changes Between TRIPLE a and like the upper miners and

863
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: the majors is one is, velocity because when guys have,

864
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: velocity they get just shout out right through the system right.

865
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: AWAY i know this was a big problem For. Kessenira,

866
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: yeah he struggled with a lot with high. Fastballs when

867
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: you don't have a lot of, velocity you can't really

868
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: throw high fastball. Effectively so even guys who do try

869
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: to do, that they get, annihilaid very easy pitch to.

870
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: Hit and most of the guys just don't do. That

871
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: they just have sinkers and they throw fastballs a.

872
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: Lot and also guys in the minor, leagues which this

873
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: is true Of, peterson this is true as a, bookie

874
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: and this is still true of. McGill they don't really

875
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: have two trustworthy off speed. PITCHES i Guess peterson does that. Too,

876
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: YEAH i KNOW i talked about how much worse the

877
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: slider has been, before but we've seen its potential like

878
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: it flash plus when you use the scouting, term, ye

879
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: flash plus because the other guys don't have. That so

880
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: you need to be able to develop that to get

881
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: major league hitters, out and you need to be aware

882
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 2: of how to react to that pitching to be a

883
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: major league hitter who'. Successful and that's a, divide it's a, shame.

884
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what separates the guys who really

885
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 1: are those like insane top level prospects and the guys

886
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: who are just not ready. Yet and that's really what

887
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: it comes down to is a lot of these guys

888
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: aren't ready yet misty or minor league. Baseball it's huge for.

889
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: Development but The mets also have some other hitters that

890
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: are doing really well in the. Minors here my Guy

891
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Jake Mangem mississippi state guy as, WELL i, believe Or

892
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: TEXAS a AND m one of. Those it's the same

893
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: come Yeah maroon with his last, Time yeah AT a AND.

894
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: M you think IT'S a AND. M, yeah all, right

895
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: he went TO a AND. M the agis whatever they.

896
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: Are you Hate TEXAS a and M. Yeah they're trash,

897
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: school fills of trash. People the trash football. Team, yeah

898
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: but they Beat North. Carolina that was a good. Bet but,

899
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: anyway no one. Played but, Anyway Jake mangum got called

900
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: up real quickly from a ball to DOUBLE a, right

901
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: and he's been hitting in DOUBLE, a which is good

902
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: because this is a guy, who when The mets were

903
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: really having these big injury, ISSUES i thought had an

904
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: outside chance to be really aggressively brought up to the

905
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: major league. Level right, now he's doing pretty good stuff

906
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: though in DOUBLE. A.

907
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah gray soven DOUBLE, a And i'm happy he is

908
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 2: doing good stuff in. Doubles he's twenty five years, old

909
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: he's a senior citizens AT aarp card to be in

910
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: single at the beginning of the. Season now DOUBLE. A

911
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 2: i feel like if the McKinney thing didn't, happen he

912
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 2: might have gotten a call like last. Week, yeah but,

913
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: again the guy's hitting. Well he has cut his strikeouts

914
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: down since going from HIGH a to DOUBLE, a which is.

915
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: Huge he's still hitting for adequate, power which was the

916
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: like the worry with his PROFILE wrc plus and thirteen.

917
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 2: Games he might just be one of those good little

918
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: like filler outfielders that you drafting is.

919
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: Fine, yep THE sec boys have been doing. Well we

Speaker 1: of him WHILE i was at. School he is a switch,

926
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: thrower which is super. Weird he plays the infield right,

927
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: handed outfield left. Handed he doesn't really have much of a,

928
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: position but he's mashing at the plate this. Year, yeah

929
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: mashing at the play he.

930
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 2: Has he's one of those, classic like five seven thick

931
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: boys that just has like the short compact swing and

932
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: can when they get around on, it it goes and.

933
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: Over Carls.

934
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: Cortez last nine game he's been getting around on. It

935
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 2: last four games Over Carlos cortez last four games he

936
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: has been getting around On he has nine hits in

937
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: those four games and six have gone for extra. Bases

938
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 2: this guy also has plus plus plate discipline with a

939
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: k rate below twenty, percent walk right above ten. Percent very, good,

940
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: Right this kind of guy where you might just look

941
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: up on The mets roster in a few years somewhere

942
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 2: With Jake mangum and he just has a spot and

943
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: like hits decently. Well, yeah and he can play multiple, positions,

944
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: granted none of them particularly, well but the fact of

945
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 2: the matter is that he can basically play every infield

946
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: position except for space because he's just kind of.

947
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: Tiny Khalil. Lee we saw him at the major league,

948
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 1: levels stuck in the same thing as these guys mashing

949
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: At TRIPLE.

950
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: A he's hitting four hundred since being sent down On june,

951
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: first and he has more walks and. Strikeouts this is

952
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: the guy who we saw a strike out in eight

953
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: consecutive at, bats eight straight and getting the call eight.

954
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: Straight at bats to start his major league baseball.

955
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: Career he doesn't even have eight strikeouts in the eight

956
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: games he's played A TRIPLE.

957
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: A that's.

958
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: Crazy it's just such a different level of talent that

959
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: sometimes the guys just need more ne more time to.

960
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: Developing lee is one of. Them and to go with

961
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: like The vilo, thing he's the guy who has a,

962
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: big long swing translates perfectly Into TRIPLE a baseball because

963
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: the vello isn't there at the major league. Level you're

964
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: seeing ninety.

965
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: Four, YEAH i would like to get him in the

966
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 2: lineup Against Matt harvey to that would have been, great

967
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: Although harvey was hitting ninety, five so that might be

968
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: a little fast. Room but maybe Against Max.

969
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: Shrowler, yeah maybe back the, Scholar get back the. Scholar

970
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: adam to The Chase anderson list of guys we'd like

971
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: to TAKE vp. Against, yeh absolutely on he looked like

972
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: he was like six seven, though so it might look

973
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: like he's touching you when he throws. Imposing.

974
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: Yeah before we, RAP i just want to talk about

975
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: my two guys WHO i reference on our first farm,

976
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 2: Report my Boy Alex, ramirez WHO i was sweating that

977
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: he was going to be the player to be named

978
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: later in That Red sox. TRADE i, know he was

979
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 2: like in the pool of possibilities and they ended up

980
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: trading On Freddie.

981
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: Valdez. Power, yeah really interesting. Tools, yeah power hitting guy

982
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: they expect at the major league. Level at worst he

983
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: could be like a twenty twenty five home run, hitter

984
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: and that he might just be like A Miguel soon

985
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: no sellout only hit home. Runs that's still interesting, though

986
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: that plays on the. Bed.

987
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 2: Yeah But Alex ramirez as an eighteen year old in SINGLE.

988
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: A i want to say, again he's an eighteen year

989
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 2: old playing A Saint LUCIE a, ball the same team THAT.

990
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: Jt Tanga ray is. On who he's at what twenty

991
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty one years? OLD? Jt he should be twenty,

992

Speaker 1: one twenty.

993
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 2: Two, yeah so that that's a big age difference from

994
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: the guys he's playing against. Him we just Said Jake

995
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 2: mangum was playing in HIGH a the other week and

996
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 2: he's thirty two years. Old but Baby Brett bathy's seniors.

997
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,239

998
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 2: god tell him. TOMORROW i hope he has his walker

999
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: at the. Game But Alex, raimiraz first week of a,

1000
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 2: ball forty percent k, rate it's gonna. Happen five steals,

1001
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: though five, steals pretty, cool sick. Athlete he's gotta learn

1002
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 2: how to play baseball a little bit. Better that's gonna.

1003
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 2: Come my other, Guy Junior santo's also on the Same

1004
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 2: Saint Lucie. Mets like he's been.

1005
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: Good he's beginning the strikeouts THAT i expected of. Him

1006
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: his control has been so, so which makes sense BECAUSE

1007
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: i think against like six.', nine yeah so he's gonna

1008
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: take these guys a little. Bit longer but keep your

1009
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: eye on the two. Of them thankfully they're both. Super, young,

1010
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: yes So Especially alex ramirez, at eighteen and is that

1011
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: his first like stiff of minor, League baseball this is

1012
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: his first Professional, base yeah so he didn't even get,

1013
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: rookie ball which like or even like those like constructional

1014
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: leagues because the dude just HAD the covid year and

1015
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: then it's he's eighteen and twenty. Twenty one, so unfortunate

1016
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,480
