Speaker 3: Opening Day is here, and it was awesome.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: It was so sick. The Mets played so well. I

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: am riding extremely high. All the things that you're not

Speaker 2: the year for you, I got the WBC and this

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: is your first one.

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 4: How are you feeling phenomenal? I'm riding, like you said,

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: way too high over what the Mets just did in

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 4: that first game. Yeah, Like between the lineup of Fredie Peralta,

22
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: the bullpen, it was just the weather, Like being a

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: city field on this opening day was phenomenal and I

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 4: can't eat I again, maybe'm getting ahead of myself. I

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: cannot be more excited about this team.

26
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that maybe the rest of Mets fans

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: probably still aren't there, because I do feel like if

28
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: there was anything to talk about, it felt like it

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: was a little quiet. I think at points today at

30
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: City Field, and I think even coming into the game,

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: at times it felt like it wasn't like a madhouse.

32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: Like some past Opening Days event.

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: But it's understandable because there are a lot of fans

34
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: that I think this team's gonna have to earn the

35
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: trust and the respect of, especially when a lot of

36
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: big veterans that were on this roster are no longer there.

37
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: But I don't care about that. I flip on that

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: right now. I think during that first inning when.

39
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: The bread baby quote end quote, triple went over on

40
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: New Cruise his head after the Brandon Lapham run the

41
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: first inning, that place was rocking that well. I'm more

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: so thinking about like the intros and like everybody getting

43
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: announced and stuff like that, it felt like it was

44
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: a little it felt a little calm. Didn't you feel

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: like that pregame into I agree.

46
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: With you, That's what I'm saying. Right now. The second

47
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 4: that Brett Baby Tripple went over on nou Cruz's head,

48
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: I think the place was locked in, absolutely rocking like

49
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: it was. I think when Mets fans watched the way

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 4: this lineup attacked the opposing pitcher, who was Paul Skiings

51
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: in this game one through nine, I think it changed

52
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: a little bit. I think a lot of Mets fans realized, who,

53
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 4: I don't know, they kind of what this personnel was

54
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 4: here and what they were here to do. Like this

55
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: felt markedly different from the teams that we've seen over

56
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 4: the last few years. And again, to knock Paul Skiings

57
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: out in the first enning of a baseball game the

58
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: first time has ever happens major league baseball career. In

59
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 4: his career, his EER went from one to nine, to

60
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: seven to two to one in this game. Individually, I

61
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 4: think possibly some of those earn runs might turn to

62
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: unearned runs by the time you guys listen to this,

63
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: but as recording, they have not yet. That was a

64
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 4: statement by the New York Mets lineup starting nine. I

65
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 4: think that was one that we were moderately expecting. But

66
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: to watch it on the field, to watch how strong

67
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: this team was one through nine was a treat in

68
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: the ballpark.

69
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really cool to see that. It felt

70
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: like it felt like watching this game, there was a

71
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: very very clear plan that this Mets lineup was trying

72
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: to execute a lot of the different things here were

73
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: one attacking when the ball was in the zone, and

74
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: the Mets did that early on. They attacked pitches that

75
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: Paul Skins left over the heart of the plate. The

76
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: other one was not getting cheated on pitches too. The

77
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: Mets were taking war hacks when they were getting ahead

78
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: in the count. That's something that we joked or like

79
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: made fun of them a little bit last year was

80
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: sometimes guys were looking to get singles when you're in

81
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: the driver's seat, and we talked about with Murphy got

82
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: to play the scoreboard at times. The Mets played to

83
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: the scoreboard perfectly early on in this game, but throughout

84
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: the entire game they played the scoreboard well. And then

85
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: even just the fact that they were able to pounce

86
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: when you could feel just a little bit of blood

87
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: in the water for the Pirates. That defense something that

88
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: we've talked a lot about on the wind up that

89
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: the Pirates are gonna be one of the worst defensive

90
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: teams we may have ever seen. And boy are they

91
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: living up to that hype already again. Paul Skins, I

92
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: think gave up like seven outs in that enning. The

93
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Pirates even missed that Francisco inndoor first the third. They

94
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: didn't get the challenging in time. I think if they

95
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: would have gotten it in time, he would have been

96
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: because they tried to. When the umpire waved it off,

97
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: they just played sloppy baseball.

98
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: But the Mets took.

99
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: Advantage of everything, and it's just they were patient, they

100
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: were selectively aggressive. They were playing to what the scoreboard

101
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: told them. They were putting the ball in play. They

102
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: were not striking out. I love seeing a two strike

103
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: approach from it. Seemed like every single guy in this

104
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: lineup you saw them shorten up on swings. I don't

105
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: know how sustainable that is to be this sharp over

106
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: one sixty two. Of course that's not gonna happen, but

107
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: the idea that game ones of one sixty two, with

108
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: a lot of new faces, a lot of new players,

109
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: and even some guys doing some things that they didn't

110
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: always necessarily do on previous teams.

111
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 3: I loved what I saw from the offense.

112
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 4: Ironically, the one guy who didn't really do that. Besides

113
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: the first setting, Bobashett had an amazing sack fly, but

114
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: he was the one guy who actually struggled. It seemed

115
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 4: like to have that two strike approach, like have that

116
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 4: little like that bats of ball that usually has.

117
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: But this was the one thing I'll say about Bo

118
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: is that I noticed, and I've maybe this is because

119
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: I would didn't watch a lot of Bobashett in Toronto.

120
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: I wasn't watching as much. With two strikes, he gets

121
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: rid of the leg kick. He is a no leg

122
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: kick guy on two strikes.

123
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: Today.

124
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: One of the things that I think was weird was

125
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: that he was so late on everything, like extremely late,

126
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: and I do think he was rapping a little bit.

127
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: From my perspective on the third base line, you could

128
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: see him almost like starting his swing very very late,

129
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: rapping and then trying to release. And it just that's

130
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: why he had what was it, twelve foul balls in

131
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: a row off of Isaac Mattson. But also at the

132
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: end of the day, like while it wasn't a productive

133
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: at bat in terms.

134
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: Of the outcome, he absolutely wore him out. That was

135
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: a great at bat no.

136
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: Nevertheless, again that's the one guy who today didn't like

137
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 4: break through his degree of every single other hitter. But

138
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 4: it was a this was a clinic by the mess lineup.

139
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: And this is why, as we're heading into the season

140
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: kind of trepidaciously, we were saying like this could be

141
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: one of the two or three best lines in all

142
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 4: of baseball, and today you could see that one through nine.

143
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: There's never really a moment for an opposing picture.

144
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: To take off no.

145
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: And especially again like again Boba, shadd and Midlowa, the

146
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: Francisco Lindor walked three times at the top like ban

147
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: Sola was all over it. Luis Robert unbelievable game. The

148
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 4: walk he took in the first inning off of Paul Skins,

149
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: I think so unbelievably changed the entire tenor of this game.

150
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 4: Then the base hit he put through the hole that

151
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 4: was the third or fourth inning, from trying to remember correctly,

152
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: he was an incredibly instrumental hitter to what the Mets

153
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 4: hit offensively today. That was a little, hopefully a taste

154
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: into what Mets fans can possibly expect from Arman. You

155
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 4: and I like our baby boy in this lineup.

156
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: Oh, every time he came up to the players, this

157
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: is my guy. Come on, Luise, like, let's get it done.

158
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: Come on, Louise, and he just he had good at

159
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: bat after good at bat after good at bat, which

160
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: is so exciting to see again early on the season.

161
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: But love to see that, at least from the process standpoint. Also,

162
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: let's talk about Carson Bench too, because he got completely

163
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: overpowered by Paul Skins in the first at bat, and

164
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: then even in his second at bat, they said, try

165
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: to hit the fastball again, and he couldn't really do it.

166
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: But he made adjustments, made some improvements, hit a frigging

167
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: home run, unbelievable. After as soon as the dead bird

168
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: fell from the sky and landed next to him, the

169
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: things turned around for Carson Bench. I love that he

170
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: got his home run, his hit, his RBI, his stolen base,

171
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: his walk. He got it all done. Now he just

172
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: gets to relax, play a little ball, work on the

173
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: things that he needs to. You talked about this line

174
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: of being so deep. The fact that Carson Bench can

175
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: even just do that first game of the year, going

176
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: up against the Pirates and Paul Skeins and all these guys,

177
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: that's just so nice. For how deep and how difficult

178
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: this lineup is going to be to get through.

179
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 4: Now, I want to say that when you brought it up,

180
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: but that after two strikeouts in the first two of

181
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: bats he's ever has major League baseball player. He came

182
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: up with one out and nobody on. He went down

183
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: one two in that bat, and then he fought tough.

184
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: He fouled off a few pitches and against Mace Montgomery,

185
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: who you and I have both lost it again on

186
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: the wind up as one of possibly by the end

187
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: of this year, could wind up being one of the

188
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: toughest left handed pitchers in baseball. If that doesn't wind

189
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: up coming to fruition. Hes still left handed pitcher throws

190
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: ninety eight miles an hour. There's not many left handed

191
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 4: pitchers who could just simply do that started relief. Whatever

192
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 4: it may be, the fact that he fought back from

193
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: one to two and at batting as again Mason Montgomery

194
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: to draw walk start will wound up being a very

195
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: very huge rally for the Mets. Only up six to

196
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: four at the time in the fifth inning, it was

197
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: a game. It was still very much a real game

198
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: in the ballpark. Maybe we kind of pretended like it

199
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: wasn't that real of a game. But when Marcus Samon

200
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 4: gets out the beginning inning, you go down one two

201
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: to draw walk foul, a few tough pitches, start a

202
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: rally for the top of the order. This is the

203
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 4: exact kind of baseball player that we kind of hope

204
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: to see from Carson Bench, the kind of one we

205
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: think we expect to see from Carson Bench based on

206
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: his skill set that we've seen so far in minor

207
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 4: league spring training, this and that. And then to come

208
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: up the next inning and blast a home run on

209
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: a first pitch hanger from your boy justin Lawrence, I know.

210
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 4: And once he gets around first base, till deep in

211
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: the air, like in such a beautiful display of just

212
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: young jubilation to see from baseball player like I at.

213
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: A lot of shit was made about like how much

214
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: players celebrate World Baseball Classic this and that, But like

215
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: to see Carson Bench come around that base and jump

216
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: on two feet and pump all of his fist and

217
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: be like yeah, like I I don't know, Like watching that,

218
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: I was like, this is this is a guy can't

219
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 4: wait to see play baseball. Then for Squelever's going back

220
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: to back right after him, I was like, this is

221
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 4: it was a happy moment for me watching this. The

222
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 4: game was out a hand at that point, but nevertheless,

223
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: like to watch Carson Mets do that in major legue

224
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: view was like, let's fucking this is Opening Days all about.

225
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: No, the Mets had some juice. You mentioned Ben showing

226
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: the emotion.

227
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: You saw Brett Baidy on his triple from the o'neio

228
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: Cruz misplay getting a third base pump in his chest,

229
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: screaming at the bench getting pumped.

230
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: Like the Lindor first the third, Like, yeah, the Lindor.

231
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: First the third. They came out sharp, they came out strong.

232
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: The Mets had an objective and that was to prove

233
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: that they were the better team. They weren't just looking

234
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: to hopefully win the game. So we're gonna come out here,

235
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna try to beat the brakes off of you.

236
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: And while the pitching may not have been as sharp,

237
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: even though hot take, I don't think the pitching was

238
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: nearly as bad as the box score made it look.

239
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: I think it was great.

240
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like this was a really really good game. One

241
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: through nine.

242
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: Every single person made a contribution, and I think this

243
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: will probably be the last like player, I call out here,

244
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: oh man, Francisco out it's I think it's totally happening

245
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: this year. It's so fucking on.

246
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: Shout out, I mean my entire section. Shout out Andrew,

247
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: Shout out Mike, Shout out Stevens. Shout our friend behind

248
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: me who we got the jersey for last year for

249
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: the giveaway for the nests Up podcast. We got him

250
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 4: want Sola jersey. He was sitting behind me to say

251
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 4: an open dame, sorry I forgot your name, but wearing

252
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 4: the jersey. He was not wearing so other jersey's rocking

253
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: the T shirt but well. He was saying, I appreciate

254
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 4: you guys for like you said, you get a Pee

255
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: a Lounge jersey, but you let me get a solw

256
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 4: jersey because he's gonna be gone a year. I was like, yeah,

257
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: I got you on that one. It was. It was

258
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 4: a fun time in City Field today. I think everyone

259
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: felt that today was a bit of a big game,

260
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 4: possibly a bigger game for the Mets because of how

261
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 4: many changes have happened to this team over the last

262
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 4: few months. But there was so much excitement for this

263
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 4: club and the fact that they gave up the two

264
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: runs in the first inning on I'll say it a

265
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 4: bullshit home run.

266
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: I can't believe that ball got nobody in the ballpark.

267
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: I don't even think Brandon low thought that ball was

268
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: getting out. He did hit it hard. It ended up

269
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 2: being I think one hundred and three, which kind of

270
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: shocked the hell out of me. But I also think

271
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: there are some juice balls in play.

272
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: So hey, if you hit the age where everything feels

273
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult the jim yes, but everything

274
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: like energy crashes in the afternoon.

275
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 5: You know, you might have been reading about low T

276
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: and you see your doctor about it and they want

277
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: to give you basically shots every week for the rest

278
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 5: of your life. Oh cool, that sounds fun. And then

279
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 5: you dig deeper and you realize what you're signing up for,

280
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 5: and it's three grand a year to shut down your

281
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 5: body's natural production forever.

282

294
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 4: We'll see if there were juice balls. Let's all the

295
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 4: more to day the fall in. But I think everyone

296
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: in the ballpark was shocked at the ball from Brandon

297
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 4: Llab that had a fifty degree launch angle stuck out

298
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: in the first row. And I thought Carson Bedger is

299
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: gonna roop the home run. I thought he tracked it

300
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 4: really well. He was. Again, we're just giving Carson Bedroll

301
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: the credit in the world because, however, a gameplay today

302
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: and I love Carson Bench. It's gonna be a ckka comment.

303
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: I love that he stole a bag and that's where

304
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 4: five runts and like what it was the seventh or

305
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 4: eighth inning.

306
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, step on their fucking throats.

307
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 4: You you play baseball the same way all the time.

308
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 4: The fact that Carson Bench was in there, He's like,

309
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 4: I'm stealing this bag. It's opening day, for like opening

310
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: day for me, my first game, like that was fun.

311
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: But this, I thought the Mets made an amazing statement here.

312
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really do. I think they just they showed that.

313
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: You know, last year was last year. This year there's

314
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: a new team. This is a new way that they

315
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: played baseball. It's a new style, there's a new field,

316
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: there's a new vibe. Feels like a completely new roster.

317
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: It is and I love to see that.

318
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 4: Oh God, Lewis Robert, like that.

319
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: Was this is my guy. I'm so happy he's here.

320
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: That that bad in the first inning against Paul Skiing

321
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: sakench us To remind you, guys, this was the shortest

322
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: adding of Paul's kins entire career. We sent Cira up

323
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 4: a full tenth of a run to almost two tents

324
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 4: of a run this game, from one nine to seven

325
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: to two one zero again until those unearned runs that

326
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: come off his ladder, We'll see what that happens.

327
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's going to be changed. Technically,

328
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: I don't think that it touched any glove, No, nothing

329
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 3: to touch the glove, but that those are errors though

330
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: those are pretty bad players.

331
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 4: But on Cruz, the first one we got a great

332
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: message from our guy, Jordan Simpson j R. Simpson. If

333
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 4: you guys watch Met's music, he's the best. He always

334
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 4: shouts out different guys changing bats and bad adjustments for us.

335
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 4: He told me before the game that Brett Bayley changed

336
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 4: to a torpedo bat and that that that play appear

337
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 4: is the first inning, Brett baby sent that thing to

338
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: center field, sent it and my dad is a former

339
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: youth baseball coach. The second that ball was in play,

340
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: my screen back because on Cruz took a step.

341
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 2: In and we're like, oh no, that's going took like

342
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: four steps and that guy is a horrendous center fielder.

343
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: That's terrible. Again, by the end of last year, he

344
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 4: flashed that he could beat okay centerfield. Between that and

345
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 4: the ball that dropped in front of from Marcus Enmi

346
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 4: and again even a guy Rkassemi, I don't think he

347
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 4: has the best game in the world. He played very

348
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: well defensively, and on a bloop in the first inning

349
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 4: he busted out of the box. Onu Cruz lost that

350
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 4: ball in the sun and Marcus means on second base

351
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: and to play that extended the inning like there was

352
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: just every single little thing the Mets had to do

353
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 4: in this game to make it better for them. They

354
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: seemed to do. And something that we were worried about

355
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 4: in all the episodes we gave you guys last week

356
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: was how much last year was going to behind this team. Truthfully,

357
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: it seemed so in the rearview mirror that I almost

358
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: forgot it happened.

359
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: I hope we all do. I would love to forget

360
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: last year. What a fucking nightmare.

361
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: But for real, like this, the way this team came

362
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 4: out today, like, yeah, let me know, if you guys

363
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 4: saw us on television, because Mark and I were in

364
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 4: the ballpark, maybe it was a little bit different vibe.

365
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 4: I know how the NBC broadcast watched you guys who

366
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 4: loved the NBC Baseball broadcast, This team had juice, they

367
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: had sauce, like there was I don't know, like there

368
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 4: was a there was a there was a very very

369
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: serious energy that was coming out of this team today

370
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: that I did not feel almost I would say, any

371
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 4: point last year.

372
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: It's tough to put your finger on when or how

373
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: they ever felt like this last year, truthfully, because even

374
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: early in the year they were just kind of just winning,

375
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: like it wasn't like they were even like dominating him.

376
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: You're just winning baseball games.

377
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 4: No, And even like Riy Blanco took nice play appearance,

378
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: he might have very nice.

379
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: He might have had what the second best hit ball

380
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: today because Alvarez I think by far probably had the

381
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: best one that that one that he hit the left

382
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: centerfield gap Polanco, that Oneo Cruz made a nice catch

383
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: like going into the wall with I was like, I

384
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: think that was the best hit ball that's been in

385
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: this game so far, and it wasn't out.

386
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: No besides like bench out, yeah, yeah, Bench those balls

387
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: up like Carson bench jumping on the first pitch sweeper.

388
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 4: After three nice played appearance, there were two he got

389
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: she got destroyed, cooked and then one like we said before,

390
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: like that was I'm eat late about watching the team.

391
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: And we we've talked about this a lot, like one

392
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 4: through nine. This is the Mets lineup that I don't

393
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 4: think we're very used to seeing as fans, where you

394
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 4: really do not have a pitch off as an opposing pitcher,

395
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 4: and for Galorez come up as anne hitter and to

396
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: hit the ball four arms twenty feet like he did

397
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: in that home run, I was just like the facing

398
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 4: of the second deck, like that guy's hitting ninth. After that,

399
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: you give that home run, your standing at Francisco Lindor

400
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: and then behind him is Wan So though, what are

401
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: you gonna do?

402
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: You just don't. You don't get a chance to breathe.

403
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: And that's I think what makes this lineup so great,

404
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: and I hope it continues keep moving strong.

405
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: We haven't spoke about pitching. We haven't talked about a yard. Yeah,

406
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: I haven't even gotten in a word. That's how excited

407
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: we are about this lineup.

408
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: But to move it on to the pitching, Freddy prault

409
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: to obviously making his debut weird first inning with the

410
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: Brandon Lao home run, but then struck out the side

411
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: immediately right after that, which was great. The stuff looked awesome.

412
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: The stuff looked like it was jumping out of his hand.

413
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: It looked electric. On watching on replay in the stadium,

414
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: it seemed like he wasn't particularly easy to hit.

415
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: Again.

416
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: Brandon Lao is the only guy that really did any

417
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: damage to him whatsoever in this game. But I was

418
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: really really glad to see that Freddy could get through

419
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: that fifth inning so he could get the win on

420
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: Opening Day, stuff that like even little things that you

421
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: need from your ace where think about how many time

422
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: last year week could not get that guy even to

423
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: the fifth inning. No, it's game one, but it's it's

424
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: just a nice step forward now.

425
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 4: It's a good point in that fifth inning specifically, like

426
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 4: there was a little bit of trouble Freddy Perlton there

427
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 4: kind of was I don't know if it was it

428
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: was fear, but like Ryan o'harnt, I mean, that was

429
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 4: not the thing that was that was against what's his name,

430
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 4: that was against uh, Tobias Myers, But like there was

431
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 4: this guy's on base, and it's like you you put

432
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 4: two guys on to start an inning where Freddie Peralta

433
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 4: definitely didn't have his best stuff. I know a lot

434
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: of Mets fans are used to watching Freddie pral To

435
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 4: dice up anybody who he faced at City Field, so

436
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 4: this was kind of a weird stark change to that.

437
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 4: But to give up a single and double to start

438
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 4: that inning and then to get the next three guys

439
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: out very easily brand a lout with an easy ground

440
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 4: ball after he had I think two home runs at

441
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 4: that point and maybe one home run and another hard

442
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: hit ball like it was. It was just nice to

443
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 4: Freddy do that. I know it was a little bit

444
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: of a shorter there, adding that most Mets fans with

445
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 4: like I would expect, but Freddie's not exactly the deepest

446
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 4: pitcher in the game. It was nice also. I don't

447
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 4: know if you notice where you were sitting at third base,

448
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 4: but to watch Freddie pitch all the way from the

449
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 4: third base side and then Paul Skians pitch all the

450
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 4: way from the first base side, yeah, I can't notice.

451
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 4: Very funny dichotomy, like Skeens has a little bit more

452
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: of a lower slot pitcher and Freddie coming more over

453
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: the top. Like it was very funny to watch those

454
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: guys trade the one the one inning they traded because

455
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: Paul Skein's got chased the first thing for the first

456
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 4: time his career. Won remind you guys of that, but

457
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 4: it was it was nice to watch like a high

458
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 4: end pitcher for the Mets end. We know that Freddy

459
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: Prawlt if you guys listened to us talked to Las

460
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 4: Pratzowski about a month ago Mets pitching preview. Last year's

461
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: slatherer was not a big pitch for him. This game

462
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: is a huge pitch for him. He got sixty on it.

463
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 4: He was in a game where he didn't really look

464
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 4: that great. He looked phenomenal. I think that's a good

465
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: reminder about what like a true frontline pitcher can and

466
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 4: should be.

467
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: I will say again because first time seeing him from

468
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: like my seats, it's I love the view that I have.

469
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: He's he gets all of his body into it. He

470
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: gets out there. He really comes at you from the

471
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: pitcher's mound, which is cool, see because sometimes it doesn't

472
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: actually carry over when you watch on TV from that angle.

473
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: And to say this, it was nice to him only

474
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 4: go five innings with ever opening day, No worries Tobias

475
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: Meyers a coming and just eat three up.

476
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: That was awesome.

477
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: Go in there, give me forty pitches, get some swings

478
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 4: and misses and okay, ba home run. No no worries

479
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: about that. But like put the ball on the ground

480
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 4: a little bit, like just to have him soak that up.

481
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 4: Not tax the bullpen opening day because again we're going

482
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: through three games here talking to you guys in the

483
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 4: off day. Yeah, pauls Skins leaves in the first inning.

484
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 4: We decimated the Pirates ballpen in one game.

485
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: They don't got much left.

486
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: And this is a team that theoretically we're competing with

487
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 4: for a playoffs, but of course the National League, we

488
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: have to see what happens here. But to get after

489
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 4: them in one game like this to possibly give a

490
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 4: shot where we're kind of on top of them when

491
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 4: the next game comes around Saturday, even with the off day,

492
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 4: is such an advantage heading to this series, like it

493
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: won the first game of the season with Paul Skins

494
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 4: the Mount I could not imagined before it happened.

495
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: No, it's so such such a good outcome from just

496
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 3: an opening day win. Me's are so good on opening Day?

497
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 3: It really is. It's such a was a microcosm for

498
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: what it is as a Mets fans like.

499
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: You, at the beginning of the year they win, we

500
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: have the highest of hopes, and then at the end

501
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: of the year we see how it ends up being.

502
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the best being in the ballpark on

503
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 4: opening day, Like, I don't know you and I go

504
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 4: to so many games, like not a lot of other

505
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 4: people get to have that beautiful gift, but being in

506
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: the stadium opening day, like seeing like the loose friends

507
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 4: that we have from the season that you kind of

508
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 4: forget about. But then you see him the ballpark, You're like,

509
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: oh my god, what's up. You give guys a hug?

510
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 4: Like again, shout that guy, Jordan shout Ryan, Yeah, Ryan,

511
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 4: Ryan's the man. Shot of Kevin. Like the guy I

512
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: was sitting next to Andrew Andrew was awesome. Andrew. Andrew

513
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 4: had the notepad with him, was a yellow nopad and

514
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 4: he was drawing lines down the notepad for the innings,

515
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 4: like he didn't have a book he was keeping. He

516
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: was keeping that. Then when Carson Bench came up for

517
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 4: his first a bad love, Carson Bench didn't really say

518
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 4: a bad thing. He was like, I can't believe the

519
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: game him, but Harrison's number. And then my dad from

520
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 4: next to me like laments with him. He's like, yeah, right,

521
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: I can't believe that number three, first game of his career.

522
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 4: It's like that's just that's just the kind of shift

523
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: for Mets fans, like you don't really get, like looking

524
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: around the ballpark and seeing like cherry grothy jerseys. My

525
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 4: dad shout out, I don't remember the guy's first name,

526
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 4: but like I think it was Calvin Scheralde.

527
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 3: I saw that at the the course like Beard talent centerfield.

528
00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 5: He was.

529
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: He ended up being the guy who I think gave

530
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: up the Mookie Wilson hit in the eighty six World

531
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 3: Series because he ended up on the Red Sox and

532
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: he I think Calvin Sharaldi hates the Mets.

533
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 4: God of makes sense now, I think I remember Calvin

534
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 4: SHARLDI from that Yeah for thirty. But the whole thing

535
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: was like, it's just so beautiful to be in that ballpark.

536
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 4: It was definitely aided by the fact it was like

537
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 4: the best day of New York weather that we've had

538
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: like four months, but it was it was perfect and like,

539
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 4: shout out the Mets themselves for putting that holding on.

540
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 4: I still don't know why that we only have lowercase

541
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 4: leathers on the scoreboard. I hate kind of I remember

542
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 4: liking the scoreboard. I hate the lowercase leathers. I talked

543
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: to our friend Matthew Ceryl. He said that the no

544
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: pitch no pitch sequence on the scoreboard or no velocity

545
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 4: movement on the side was possibly a calibration issue that

546
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 4: shorted by the time we get going here.

547
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 3: That was driving me insane.

548
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, all I'm trying to

549
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: know is what pitches are being thrown right now and

550
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: how fast they're being thrown. I want exit velos and

551
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: I want all the data because that's that's what we

552
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: want right now. That's how like people talk about like

553
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: baseball slow. Sometimes even though the pitchclocks may have fast,

554
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: you know how it can feel fast. Find out all

555

Speaker 3: Now, this was great.

575
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 4: The fact that this was a long baseball game. The

576
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 4: one thing I'm thinking about when I'm Adams game or

577
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 4: any baseball game in general, is like, how can I

578
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 4: then this as long as possible. I'm never sitting at

579
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 4: a baseball game being like, how can I end this

580
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 4: as quickly.

581
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: As I can?

582
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 4: I'd love to get home right now, be like, No,

583
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: the last thing I wanted to is leave. I'm here.

584
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 4: I want to stay. If you wanted to make this

585
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 4: game go seven hours, make this game go seven hours.

586
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 4: I do not care. So the fact if you got

587
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: three and a half hour game an opening day was

588
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 4: a blessing for me. No, it was.

589
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 3: It was truly a pretty much perfect opening day here

590
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 3: for the Mets.

591
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 4: I can't even describe how good of an opening days,

592
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: but especially if I got the least robot like that

593
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: was I.

594
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: I keep talking about it, like we've talked about it

595
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 3: on here a lot.

596
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: I was talking about to my dad and even like

597
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: some of the people around us, just because you know

598
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 2: here Bets fans, you start, you start yapping with everybody

599
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: around you. It's like, imagine how good it's got to

600
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: feel for him to be in a place that one

601
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 2: like has computers, two is actively trying to win, and

602
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: three is like like I got I have friends again,

603
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: Like it's not just these like random journeyman dudes who

604
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: are just sticking around getting paid because the White Sox

605
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: are trying to be or give off the illusion that

606
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 2: they're a major league baseball team.

607
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 4: It was ridiculously fun. All the things that I think

608
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 4: some Mets fans might have chastised him about specifically, he

609
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 4: did well today. He took long at bats, He had

610
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: very good play discipline, the fat palls in that in

611
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 4: that one at bat that was a third or fourth

612
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 4: thing that actually kind of like low key broke the

613
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 4: game open.

614
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: They were they were right by me. He he hit

615
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: like two right in my section. They were so close.

616
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: And then to exactly smoke that ball right through the

617
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: whole right past Jerachiolo's gloved shortstop, Like that was what

618
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: you kind of want any baseball player to that specific

619
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 2: situation for that guy to do it. And then at

620
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: the ending before that, I believe, to make a dive

621
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: in catching center field. I was just like and he

622
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: made a few other nice running gradt and center field

623
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: that he wouldn't even know this because of how good

624
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 2: jumps he got in them? Was it a was it

625
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 2: baby's triple that he was on top of Hoge Plano

626
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: as well running home like perfect reed. You you can

627
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 2: see how much of a freaked this guy's athletic. Jorge

628
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: Polanco slid, he was ahead of him. Horry Polanco thought

629
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 2: he was gonna have to slide, and Luis Robert is

630
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 2: right behind him, just kind of breaking it down so

631
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: he doesn't catch up to him.

632
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 3: Freak superhuman athlete.

633
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: And we've said it before Marcus Senmi and running out

634
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: that pop up to on Cruse Carson bench taking the

635
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 4: good play appearances did before the walking the home or

636
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 4: beast strikeouts, like for Cis guiliver As being what I

637
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: was so scared of Cis Guaiverer's got hit by a pitch,

638
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 4: but I just left for us. In the first sitting,

639
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 4: I was horrified. The second like the millisecond that happened,

640
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 4: my heart dropped, which is funny because the mess were

641
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 4: up by four to two when that happened, Yeah, five

642
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: to two possibly when that happened, I like even still,

643
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: I didn't even care because I was so scared for him,

644
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: but like, damn, this lineup is making me feel things.

645
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 3: Great opening day, great opening of.

646
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 4: The opening day, like anything else, shout out from like

647
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 4: good stuff in the ballpark.

648
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: Good stuff from the ballpark.

649
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: Let me.

650
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think.

651
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: In and out of the stadium was smoother than it

652
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: was at any game last year. Into the stadium at

653
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: times last year was an absolute mess. This year it

654
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: felt faster. I don't know what the reasoning was for that,

655
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: but it did. The only thing here's my one complaint

656
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have. I'm only gonna have one complaint today.

657
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: How do we not have a super express train ready

658
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: for after the game? That's that's insane, especially the Metro.

659
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: The Metro the subway was an absolute fucking disaster. It

660
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: was terrible, especially when we had an express trained to

661
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: the game, which is for no reason.

662
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 5: It was.

663
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 4: I got an express eleven o'clock in the morning to

664
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: go to go to the city field, but none to

665
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: go after the game.

666
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: That was rough, but like otherwise, it was incredible.

667
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: Also, I'll due respect to the bird that passed that

668
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 4: dropped dead next to Carson bench, like that bird might

669
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 4: be the moment the movement of our season right there, like.

670
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: A Seymour Wiener that could be our.

671
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: I feel like you should have got more Vira, but

672
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 4: the pitchon fell out of this guy. It's like four

673
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 4: feet away from Carson Bend like the fourth inning of

674
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 4: his major league career. Like that was kind of a

675
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 4: hopefully not a bad moment.

676
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: But it was our buddy Clay who gave us the

677
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: video that we ended up putting on Mets the Twitter.

678
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: He said that Benj was like talking to Robert, cause

679
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: again I'm not quite sure how much English Luis Robert

680
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: like fully speaks, but Benj was like mimicking to him.

681
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 3: He was like doing the bird flapping.

682
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: Wings and they went like that, like the bird's dead,

683
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 2: right yeah, and was like looking up like what the

684
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: hell is going on dude?

685
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 4: Like just a pain free, gorgeous, beautiful over.

686
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 3: The Like could you imagine a game where the Mets

687
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: went down to nothing? You said it was pain free?

688
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: This game started twelve hours ago. I'm still fucking smiling

689
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 4: from Ear of the Year. I cannot get away from

690
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 4: how good I feel about watching that game. And there's

691
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: like a different feeling about watching this game where we

692
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 4: watch competitive played appearances we watched so much more athleticism

693
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: this team. I think we've seen it one much more

694
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: busting at a ground balls, playing really good defense like

695
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: it was I mean, but bry Ploker kind of knocking

696
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 4: off his body and like it was the eighth or

697
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 4: ninth inning and he made the play, he stayed with it.

698
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: And you know what else, I like underhand flips from him,

699
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 3: nice and easy. We're not trying to lead him to

700
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: first base.

701
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 4: Bobaschev made a few nice players at third base as well,

702
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 4: I do think, And the something we're definitely going to

703
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 4: talk about in the show over the next few weeks,

704
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 4: as the games don't get incredible like they were yes Thursday,

705
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: we're gonna lose the ret Baity designated hitter situation, I

706
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 4: think is peculiar, and that's once something I'm definitely going

707
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 4: to watch. I caution you guys to watch that as well,

708
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 4: because he's probably the best defender in the team at

709
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 4: two of the positions he's not playing every single day,

710
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 4: that being third base in first base, and if he's

711
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 4: as designated hither Smith ever wants to throw him in

712
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 4: on defense, they lose designated hitter at that point. And

713
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: we signed Tommy fam right before this game of a

714
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 4: favor of the Messed Up podcast from years and years

715
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 4: and years ago, Big Time Tommy. That seems seems like

716
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: a guy who might take a roster spot from Jared Gelly,

717
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 4: Jared Young or possibly Mark Vento spending out the next

718
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 4: few weeks ago. It's a again peculiar situation. It feels

719
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: like a deal where Bo and Hori planco have to

720
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: play those positions, probably for a little bit at least,

721
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: but that's definitely we're gonna give you guys something to

722
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 4: watch moving forward. That's definitely something to watch.

723
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: And I guess Luis Garcia because he did not look

724
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: good now I look terrible.

725
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 4: And that was also again in the ballpark, we didn't

726
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 4: have lostly No.

727
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: He was ninety three when I saw a couple pop up.

728
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 4: No comment on that. I mean, I'll pulled up in

729
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 4: one second right now, but like no comment to not

730
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 4: have that in the ballpark. I've been proud to see

731
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: the field having that for the last years. We're gonna

732
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 4: see a top down ninety five too. I'll say this,

733
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 4: Luke I Sia top ninety five too. It's probably not

734
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: gonna say this scene.

735
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 3: Very long yeah, No, I don't. I think his days

736
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: will be numbered if he can't throw ninety six or

737
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: ninety seven. No, but splitter was nice.

738
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 4: Splitter was nice. Lowercase leathers on the stadium scoreboard not

739
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: that nice.

740
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: I'm yeah, why are we doing this like zoomer bullshit?

741
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 4: And show me the pitch sequencing. We love the pitch

742
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: sequence in the ballpark. Andrew I got next to me.

743
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 4: He was asking me so many questions about the podcast,

744
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 4: both of our lives everything.

745
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: At least have only the pitch sequencing for when our

746
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: guys are up, like at least like so they could

747
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: look up and see what the pitchers have been.

748
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: Maybe that's it again.

749
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 4: Also maybe like that was like prawl to being like

750
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 4: I don't want to see that. I don't want that

751
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 4: on mean, like that's fine when he comes out of

752
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 4: the game, give it us. Let us see that.

753
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me see a little something.

754
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: I would I would like to see fastball change up,

755
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: fastball slither. Like I just wanted to know what the

756
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 4: pitcher's doing. I think it helps us all get into

757
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 4: the game. Maybe it's just us, maybe it's just me

758
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 4: freaks of nature, but I do I do like seeing

759
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: that in the ball game.

760
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 3: You had, you had a couple of beers. What are

761
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 3: the prices looking like? Do we get a price spike?

762
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 4: Unbelievably expensive, dude. I grabbed the gluten free beer from

763
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 4: gluten resection like a loser, I am before the game

764
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: for a nine dollars small beer. Fine whatever, New York City.

765
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 4: The surf side ram me twenty seven hots.

766
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: Oh and that again, it's a tall Boy two full

767
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: beersize vodka.

768
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: Right. I don't even know what it is. It's just

769
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 4: it's just not gluten. It's all I care about. It's

770
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 4: a nice tasting beer. Like we're there twelve o'clock in

771
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 4: the afternoon. But like, that's a that's a toose.

772
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: You get two of those, you're spending sixty dollars.

773
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. You're gonna get too. If you

774
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 4: get one, you're gonna get second one. Yeah. Well, I'm

00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 4: Oh this is it.

00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: Cake Corner's gone. Really, Cake Corner's gone. No more Cake Corner.

781
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: Apparently it's gonna be like offices for the hard Rock

782
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: or something like that. Even this season, yep Cake Corner

783
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: is gone, doesn't exist anymore.

784
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 4: That's a botch.

785
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: It's now and Ebbs is now Willet's Point Brewery, which

786
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I just I hope it's better.

787
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I definitely hope it does. I mean the

788
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: Mets mostly in this podcast talk about what goes on

789
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 4: in the field to this team. The things, the things

790
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: that go on off the field are neither here nor there.

791
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: We want to focus on what's going out on the field,

792
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 4: but it's it's it gets kind of ridiculous at times.

793
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 4: I mean again, pack your guys, food sneaking a flask,

794
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 4: whatever you have to do, do what you gotta do.

795
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: Enjoy the Mets and enjoy the win because that was

796
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 3: a great, great opening day.

797
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 4: Anything else here, James, I dude, I'm still buzzing that

798
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: when Britt Bady hit that triple.

799
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: That was I'm buzzing because because the Mets plays as well,

800
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: and just also Baseball's back, it's just so great that

801
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: it's We were recording this at one o'clock in the morning.

802
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: I was finishing watching Guardians Mariners before this. I can't

803
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: get enough baseball right now.

804
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 4: No, I'm not gonna go back for hours. I'm excited

805
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 4: for watch baseball. I can't watch the highlights. It was

806
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 4: beautiful to watch his team. It was nicely Fred Peralta

807
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: and just I know a lot of the Mets fans

808
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 4: out there, maybe you guys listening to this are a

809
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: little bit like gress Fallen will upset that there's a

810
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 4: lot of players you guys used to are not in

811
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 4: this lineup. But I do want to tell you guys,

812
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: like the at bats that Boba shd hore P, Uncle

813
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 4: Luis Robert, like even Brett Baity Marcus sent me and

814
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 4: Carson Bench like, this is a lineup that has a

815
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 4: stupid amount of potential in terms of the difficulty of

816
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 4: getting each guy out individually, one after the other. And

817
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 4: I want to tell you guys to be excited about

818
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 4: it because this could be special.

819
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: Dude, Boba shed came up with what runners in scoring

820
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: position every single time he came to the plate today,

821
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: like only one hundred and nineteen rbs to go for

822
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: the one twenty Yeah, And I was gonna say, and

823
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: he only drove in one and the Mets still scored eleven.

824
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: Are you shitting me.

825
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 4: Bobas shed by far the worst game in this entire

826
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 4: team today, and it was still not really that bad.

827
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 4: Like that about where he found off like six or

828
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 4: seven and second pitches and seventh inning, I was like, nice.

829
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: He led to the Jorge Polanco four pitch walk right

830
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: after him, I asked, it was like, it was like, fuck, dude,

831
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: I'm gassed. I just threw seventeen pitches.

832
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 4: That was funny as hell. Where after like I'm just

833
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 4: got chill. It's like, I'm good, I'm not going out

834
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 4: right now. That was That was honestly even the fifth inning.

835
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 4: Think about how long the game was. That was the

836
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 4: fifth inning.

837
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: I mean that bad itself was like ten minutes.

838
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 4: So when that ending started, there was only six four

839
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 4: mets and there was there were some people in the

840
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 4: ball bar that will little trepidacious. I was like, we're good.

841
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 3: I was like, I as soon as we put up

842
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 3: the five spot, knocked out Skiin and said games over.

843
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 4: Which is funny that that is like such a difference

844
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: of feeling from last season, and maybe we're just better

845
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: turning the page seeing these good players not caring about it.

846
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 4: The fact that we knocked Paul Skins out in the

847
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 4: first inning for the first time is major league career

848
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 4: through for the pitches before we knocked them out of

849
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: that game again, no crew is a big reason for that.

850
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 4: This mess line up made me feel very special things

851
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 4: and something that I think could carry this team this year.

852
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that, uh, you know, we've been

853
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: talking to people that were like, can't believe Paul Skimes

854
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: didn't come out and throw throw one right at Francisco Indoor.

855
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: Get the game started, knowing they's got the broken handma Mets.

856
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: Mets came out to play and they jumped.

857
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: All over the Pirates. I love it.

858
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 4: I told my friends before the game, because they were

859
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: trying to do baseball petting like Opening Day, like everybody does.

860
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 4: Like Nerfy, no run's in the first inning, there's a lock.

861
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 4: I was like, let me see the odds on that,

862
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: and I was like, just bet the earthy because yeah,

863
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 4: have some fun. I was like, these two pitches are

864
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: really good. Those odds are really juiced up because I mean,

865
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 4: this nationally televised game Pulse game is the best pitcher

866
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 4: in baseball. I was like, come on, fade that, like,

867
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 4: this is two bal teams rail and this. This Fire

868
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 4: team might be the worst defensive team I've ever seen.

869
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: Oh it's the Jared Ruell a fantastic shortstop everywhere else

870
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: not sure how they're gonna get out.

871
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 4: And Jared schill is probably a great third basement and

872
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 4: second basement's probably an average short stop.

873
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

874
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 4: Like that that road bet like ball that went.

875
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: Through the hole, it was like, all right, and at

876
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: least probably gets stopped by another short stop. I was

877
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 2: gonna say, Francisco Indoor, Bobby Wood, like Ellie Da La Cruz.

878
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 4: They probably j P. Crawford probably put the glove on

879
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 4: that ball, but not Jared s Hull. Again, whatever, respect

880
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 4: the Pirates, respect them.

881
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: Two more games against them.

882
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: We got David Peterson versus Mitch Keller on Saturday, and

883
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: then Noel McLam versus Bubba Chandler Sunday.

884
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: I know, I wanted to go to the Saturday and

885
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 4: Old Clay game so badly, and the fact he's pitching

886
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 4: a Sunday sucks. Yeah, well we'll figure it out, guys.
