00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: right of the season this week. So if you have

37
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 2: a chance to come out to the City Field, definitely

38
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: give him a shot.

39
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: Come out there.

40
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: We'll be out there. I'm gonna be out there for

41
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: pretty much every single game. I think James is going

42
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: to miss a couple of them, right, I'm gonna be.

43
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 3: There every every day except Friday and Saturday. But okay, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday,

Speaker 3: I'm there.

45
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: And Thursday in particular, is gonna be a special day

46
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: for you because let the people know.

47
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess Thursday. So if you guys can keeping

48
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: track listen regularly we do the estimate every episode. John

49
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: usually comes in when he's feeling like it, and he'll

50
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: come in and give us a trivia question. Not trivia question,

51
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: more like something that Mark and I will guess for

52
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: the next series, whether it be the hardest ball someone

53
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: will hit or how many times someone will swinging miss,

54
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: but something game specific series specif I will guess On

55
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: and I lost in the first half of the year,

56
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: and the punishment that we decided for the loser would

57
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: be you have to wear a full kit to the game.

58
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: So Thursday the second last, second last series ender of

59
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: the year. I got my pants to come from Amazon.

60
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: I got an awful customized Mets blue pinstripe jersey. I'm

61
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: gonna get a hat from the team store. I'm gonna

62
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: walk around my neighborhood this week and try and get

63
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: some metal spikes, and I'm gonna show up. I have

64
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: Mets socks that go up to like my midcalf. I'm

Speaker 3: I'm gonna show open the full kit Thursday. So if

67
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,200

Speaker 3: I want to see people's reactions when you walk through.

72
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 3: I don't. I honestly, I don't think I'm gonna be

73
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: able to do that because I'm not gonna take the

74
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: train wearing that outfit. I'm gonna I'm gonna get beat

75
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,399

00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go in. I'm gonna wear I can't. I

81
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: can't walk in like that.

82
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: I can't.

83
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: It's not that I can't walk in like that. I

84
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: just can't take public transit like that. I can't.

85
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Okay, that's bringing myself in harm the content though.

86
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: If you walking through the media entrance in full full

87
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: jersey and cleats and hat and everything.

88
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 3: You're gonna film it, like maybe, but I still don't

89
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: even think I could do. We go to the game,

90
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: I'll be in the game and the kid we'll play

91
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: it by year, see how that one goes. Also, if

92
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: you guys see us, say what's up.

93
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the end of the season, so we're

94
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 2: gonna have a bunch of stickers to give away to

95
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: you guys.

96
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: As always.

97
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: Last year, like towards the end of the year during

98
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs, we gave away some stuff like some hats

99
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: and some gift cards and stuff like that. So hopefully

100
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: we get to do that again. But if you see us,

101
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: definitely say what's up, because it will be the last

102
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: time you see us until next season, so you never know,

103
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: that would be cool to see all you guys out there.

104
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: In terms of other stuff going on, I mean, not

105
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: too much.

106
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: I guess what.

107
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: We'll hold what we did maybe the rest of the

108
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: week for a little bit later and just kind of

109
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: push through these games real quick for the people, right, Yeah,

110
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: for sure.

111
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the games that happen and then get

112
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: to the more fun stuff. Yeah.

113
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: So Game one, David Peterson, uh, he did the thing

114
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: that we've said now for like the last five six starts,

115
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: which is he gave him four runs in four innings,

116
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: but you struck out seven and you had swings and misses. Weird,

117
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: like strange, strange start again for David Peterson.

118
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: The other part that was weird about him in this

119
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: one is I've talked to you guys a lot about

120
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: Peterson Slyther that he's been adjusting a little bit now

121
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: it's more of an up and down slitherer, but still

122
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: comes out to slaviers spit and the gyro Slyder and

123
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: that's been his big wif pitch recently. But that came

124
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: Thursday night. Slyly got zero swings and misses. It was

125
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: a lot of fastball sinker change up and yeah, just weird.

126
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: It's just it's strange that he's ending the season like this.

127
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: Like it's just been a really bizarre two plus years

128
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: now for David Peterson where you have like the moments

129
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: of prosperity followed by some puzzling situations followed by oh

130
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: that was like that was a nice moment for him,

131
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: and then again it was like, oh, that wasn't that

132
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: nice either. So it's another offseason where Dave Peterson's gonna

133
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: be involved in this roster. He's gonna be on the team,

134
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: He's gonna have a shot to win a role in

135
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: spring training again depending on how the off season goes,

136
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: most likely, and she's just gonna have to kind of

137
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: take it as it comes with David Peterson.

138
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, just keep seeing what's gonna happen.

139
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: I mean, like the strikeout stuff is what always makes us,

140
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: I think believe is just like you can get strikeouts,

141
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: you can be a very very successful pitcher at the

142
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: major league level, but the ability that he still gets

143
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: hit at is just it's it's so bizarre.

144
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: Tough day for your boy. Brigham as well.

145
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: He did strikeout three and niting in two thirds, but

146
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: gave him another run five two six ERA on the year.

147
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: Now, I mean you said it before, no.

148
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: I know, the Brigham thing was really fun early in

149
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: the year, and at the end of April the highest

150
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: trike ra in the Mets side was I was I

151
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: was pretty jacked up about that, but yeah, it was

152
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: just he had to maintain the velocity. The bias that

153
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: bit issue he had of the last few years has

154
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: really taken a couple of ticks off his fastball. The

155
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: sweeper still looks great, but just never got that weapon

156
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: to be lefty, and that fastball wasn't never really had

157
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: enough velocity despite having good enough shape to really get

158
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 3: past people in the strike zone.

159
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the field, on the offensive side, Jeff McNeil

160
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: had a great series outside of one just unfortunate foul

161
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: ball that caught Jeff. I mean, all of all the

162
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: men listening at home and watching it at home knows

163
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: exactly what we're talking about.

164
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: We felt, we feel for you, Jeff.

165
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: Glad that you continue to play the guys like played

166
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 2: I think one hundred and fifty five of one hundred

167
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: and fifty six games for the Mets this year. But

168
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: in Game one he was a home run away from

169
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: the cycle. Always plays well in Philadelphia. It feels like

170
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: I think Jeff is like, this is pretty easy ballpark

171
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: to hit it and over here.

172
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: So that's just je comfortability. We talked about with you

173
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: guys last episode. We're going on almost two full months

174
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: of baseball where he is doing the same thing he

175
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: did all of last year, even with this smidge more power,

176
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 3: which is kind of funny to say. I know they're like, oh,

177
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: these two months don't really matter as much as the

178
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: three and a half before that. You guys are right

179
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: if you're to say that's true. But it is at

180
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: least something again positive, taking into the offseason, some momentum

181
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: that you're building on the fact that someone who is

182
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: here and will likely be here, coming off an amazing

183
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 3: year as a batting champion now is able to put

184
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: together baseball that you kind of expect from him, and

185
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: he expects from himself that he can carry it to

186
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 3: next season.

187
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, San Francisco Indoors steal a couple of bases, got

188
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: up to thirty on the season. He currently sits a

189
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: twenty seven home runs, which he hit later on the

190
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: series to break his own franchise record for shortstop home

191
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: runs for the New York Mets. It's a chance to

192
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: be thirty thirty, hits three more home runs thirty thirty

193
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: from your shortstop who plays goalgal defense. You guys know

194
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: we're massive Francisco Lindor fans here. It's just it can't

195
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: get set up. How good of a ball player this

196
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: guy is.

197
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we're not gonna get greedy. I would like

198
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: to see Francisco Indoor go thirty thirty. But I think

199
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: even just exactly at least one more hit, I think

200
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: he would be really cool. Just one more hit, one

201
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: forty seven, it would be awesome. But it's a great

202
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: another great season for Cisco Indoor, even getting his average

203
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: back up to two fifty, which is like a really

204
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: huge step forward from against not batting average podcast. You

205
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: guys know that, but even just it looks a lot

206
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: better at the end of the yearn two twenty and

207
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: we know that, and getting that average from like well

208
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: below league average and now significantly above league average with

209
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: the ops still around eight hundred. Like if if you

210
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: guys can tell you someone opening day your short stop

211
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: of play goal glove defense and go thirty thirty. But like, oh,

212
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: as one of the best players in baseball, I really

213
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: like to have him on my team. And then if

214
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: you were to think that you would be correct, And

215
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: it happened again.

216
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Mark Viento's also got a home run, and this one

217
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: I think that was his third home run in like

218
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: two days, swinging the bat well. But at the end

219
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: of the day, Phillies just beat us out Baumn Castianos

220
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: with a couple of home runs and their bullpen just

221
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: kind of shut us down at the end, which was

222
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: like one of the few times recently at this bullpen's pitch. Well,

223
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: they've been scuttling a little bit going into the postseason

224
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: here it has.

225
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: But the cool thing about this Phillies bullpen, that's kind

226
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: of the thing that was their lynch pin last year,

227
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: is that, like they're not necessarily like a good bullpen,

228
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: like especially I'll never get you to admit that, but

229
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, like bullpens are just

230
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: experience incredible mats variance because of how little they pitched

231
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: in any given day. So three runs given up by

232
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: one reliever will kind of change their entire statistical output

233
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: for the season the way like it's seemed like er

234
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: and whatnot. But the end of the day, this team

235
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: just has like four guys that are gonna sit in

236
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 3: ninety a plus in any given night. So I know,

237
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: sometimes he's like large samples of the whole season you're like, oh,

238
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: this Phillies bullpen and really had a bad year. But

239
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: then like you get into a game and it's like

240
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: it's kind of cold, and like you get a pitch

241
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: on the inside, your hands start to sting a little bit.

242
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: And St. Anthony Domingez despite his high ra is extending

243
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: like halfway the home plate through ninety ten miles an

244
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: hour with movement. You're like, I don't want to hit

245
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 3: this guy now sometimes I don't really think I can.

246
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: So that's kind of what I said to you specifically.

247
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 3: And then this podcast few years ago when I was like, oh,

248
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: think the Phillies have kind of turned a corner, like

249
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: with their brains, like more than we have in you,

250
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: Like they're kind of not playing together together. A bullpen

251
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: that's not good again, like in quotes good. This isn't

252
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: like a great era bullpen. I'll get it up now.

253
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: I'm finishing this diet tribe, like where they actually rank

254
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: in terms of bullpen era. But they're just there's a

255
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: lot of guys who really don't want to face any

256
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: given night. And I think that's kind of the key

257
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 3: to the building a bullpen that you know can be

258
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: good for the postseason.

259
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, bullpens are volatile. They are among some

260
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: of the most volatile bullpens in baseball. But regardless whatever

261
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: lost Game one, moving on to Game two. Friday Night,

262
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 2: Apple TV shout out to our guy Alex Faust who

263
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: we interviewed right before, did a little Phillies preview, also

264
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: interviewed him just talking about his life. Check it out

265
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: on the New York Mets YouTube channel. Check it out

266
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: on our podcast feed if you have not yet done so.

267
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: He was doing the play by play obviously over on

268
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: Apple TV. This one again was a little bit closer

269
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: when to extra innings. Mets fought back late, came back

270
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: against that Phillies bullpen that we were James was just

271
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: giving flowers to there. But I mean again, good to

272
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: see like Francisco Indoor, Peede Alonso swinging the bat well there,

273
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: especially good to see Brett Baidy getting another home run

274
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: in the ninth inning off of Craig Kmberrill, someone who again,

275
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: like you were, like, this is not an easy at

276
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: bat despite maybe what his numbers.

277
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: Say this year.

278
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: No, and again like talk about flowers, like Craig Kimbell

279
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 3: statistically is one of the best relief pitchers in the

280
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: history of baseball. He was yeah, no again as a

281
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: career like yeah, looking at it, I'm not saying like

282
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 3: now he's like, but like he's a guy who probably

283
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 3: gets Hall of Fame consideration very legitimately. I think he

284
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: has the highest one of the high strike ut rates

285
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: ever in modern baseball.

286
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: I don't think he does. Man, Billy Wagner can't get in.

287
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: Carry Craig Kimberl's not getting in, But I.

288
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: Think Wagner will get in. I think it's gonna take

289
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: a while. And I think that when Camberrell becomes eligible

290
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: in like seven eight years, six years, I guess maybe

291
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: if he hangs it up after next year, probably he's

292
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: a guy who people are gonna look at me like, oh,

293
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 3: for a decade he was the best closer in baseball,

294
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: and that no for sure.

295
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: I think I don't know, Like you're right, his peak

296
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: was incredible, like twenty eighteen. From twenty ten to twenty eighteen,

297
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: he was disgusting. But he's been like pretty horrible since then.

298
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: And I don't know he has four hundred saves. It's

299
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: a lot depends depends what the writers are thinking, and

300
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: we know that they are just kind of sometimes it

301
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: makes no sense the way that they're thinking. Fanley Jansen's

302
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: another one of those guys too. You're probably gonna look

303
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: back and be like, wow, it's one of the two

304
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: or three best closers in baseball. History and like people

305
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: don't really appreciate him right now.

306
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And Kimberll also just has a lot of the

307
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: like the per inning stats that you're like, whoa like

308
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: he the amount of guys he's like for his career

309
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: is fourteen strikeouts for nine innings, Like his career whip

310
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: is under one, Like he's a these nine time All Star.

311
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 3: As a reliever, he has the world serious championships. I

312
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: feel like people kind of hold a lot a little

313
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: in terms of relievers. In fact, you be able to

314
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: get it done the playoffs and again, it just it

315
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: makes me so frustrated with that there's no consistency with

316
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame voting. The fact that Marian Rivera

317
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: could be the first unanimous guy but other closers can't

318
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: even get into the Hall of Fame doesn't make any sense.

319
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: Pissed me off. But by that account, I think Kimberlell

320
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: is someone who he might he might not get in,

321
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: but I think he will. Like when that's coming around,

322
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: you're gonna get people being like, why Craig kimberle is

323
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer, Like there is sure there is

324
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: nar going to be made and I'm not saying he's

325
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 3: definitely going to get it, but I wouldn't be surprised

326
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: if he actually does get it. He's yeah, he's our lifetimes.

327
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: Like you can't really talk about baseball, I'll talk about

328
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: Craig Kimberle again. Like you said, he was one of

329
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: the best closers. It'll be interesting to see what the

330
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: h the narrative is gonna be whenever that time does come.

331
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: It's not there yet, still thirty five. He's got a

332
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: few more years underneath his belt.

333
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: I'm sure Sneaky Philly's actually seventh best ballpen the Ray

334
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: in baseball. Finally, teams with better E Ray are the Orioles,

335
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays and Mariners, the Dodgers, the Brewers, and

336
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: of course the New York Yankees.

337
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: Everything everybody except one team there. What have they got

338
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: in common, James Velocity? No making the playoffs. All of

339
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: them are playoffs teams, except for the New York Yankees

340
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: because that team stinks.

341
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: So we can extend that to eight. The Astros actually

342
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: might miss the playoffs, but they they could get into

343
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 3: the playoffs one of either of them. Surrounderusy how the

344
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: one that is going to miss and then uh, Tampa

345
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: Bay nine right there, then Cleveland ten, so you know,

346
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: the top ten like a playoff teams for bullpen the

347
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: array one hundred percent.

348
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: Now back to the game here, Tyler McGill on the

349
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: mound going up against Taiwan Walker. McGill like, look solid,

350
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: you give us six innings, six strikeouts, three and runs

351
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: clapp every time. Like if that's what Tyler murkill can

352
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: lock into quality start every time?

353
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's that's perfect. That's great.

354
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: And this Phillies line up again, it feels like we

355
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: haven't played these guys that much this year because it's

356
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: just a lot of time in between these matchups. But

357
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: it's awesome, especially when Turner and Harper and Costianos and

358
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: even now Real Muta all hitting him the same time.

359
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: It's like, oh god, this is a really scary lineup.

360
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: And then even you got like Alec Bohm is like

361
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: as an outside shild one hundred RBIs like there's a

362
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: lot of justest guys who could hit here. And McGill

363
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: was truly cruising until that third time through the order,

364
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 3: and that was like the moment where eventually like he

365
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: kind of ran out of options and then realmut hit

366
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 3: the big run home run, but that was again the

367
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 3: only blemish, like his fastball a great life. It sat

368
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: ninety five, ninety six up to ninety seven again, which

369
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: is where we say time and time again, like that's

370
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: where he has to be to be successful. And it

371
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: was there basically the whole night, and commanded the slider

372
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: pretty well, I think, better than he had in most

373
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 3: of his previous starts. He hung a few. I remember

374
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: he hung one, the harp, the Schwarber. I was just like,

375
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: oh God, he didn't didn't, he didn't, didn't didn't leave

376
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: the park thankfully, but just it was nice. It was

377
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: nice to see him work that fastball and slide together

378
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: and get to again. He didn't really get through line

379
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: the third time because the third time threw there was

380
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 3: a big three home run hit, but again six Indy

381
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 3: three runs. Like you say, it's not exactly something that

382
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: we're gonna be scoffing at anytime.

383
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: No, and the bullpen did a good job too, like

384
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: the Mets this game of course, but being able to

385
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: come back late against that Phillies bullpen, Brett Baty being

386
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: a big part of that. Again to tweet about how

387
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: happy I was for Bet because I know that there's

388
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: just some haters out there that are starting to pop

389
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: up a little more and more now because they've seen

390
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty games of a twenty four twenty

391
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: two year old kid play third base, and they like

392
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: to make a decision right then and there. This is

393
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: exactly the kind of player he is, which is just

394
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: so silly. I mean, we talk about all the time,

395
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: like the exit velos, all the peripheral stats are just

396
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: so great with him. It's gonna click at some point.

397
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: And I think there's like beginning to be a different

398
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: like way that between Mauricio, Bathy, and Vianto's are all

399
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: being considered right now because they're kind of all being

400
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: considered for similar at bass going to the next year,

401
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: and the results aren't really that much different. Riso has

402
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: by far as small sample size out of all of them,

403
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: and Babe by far the most, but still not exactly

404
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: a situation where they're so spread where it's like you

405
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: can definitely say one way or the other, so confident

406
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: in all three of them to like at least worst case,

407
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: snaroud be contributing members like positively contributing members to this

408
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: team as we go forward, but it's really it's hard

409
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: gonna be hard to make any true inferences in any

410
00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: of them right now.

411
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

412
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that was pretty much Game two. Nothing else

413
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: to really talk about on that one. Moved on to

414
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: Game three. Another former met on the mound, Zach Wheeler,

415
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: going up against Jose King Tana, and this one who

416
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: had one of the weirder Jose King Tana starts, definitely

417
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: the weirdest as a met I think we can say

418
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: for sure this was a little bit of Jose King

419
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: Tana like when he was with the Angels that one

420
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: year of like striking out a lot of guys but

421
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: giving up a lot of runs. That's just what happened.

422
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: Six innings, eight hits, five earned ten strikeouts. Like, explain

423
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: to me how that even happens.

424
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ten strikeouts is by far his most hasn't

425
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: met He only actually had more than five strikeouts once

426
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: and that was August sixth I started in Baltimore. That

427
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: was another one where he of course through six innings,

428
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: but just I think they were just swinging and missing

429
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: a lot Like usually Cantin lives in the shadows and

430
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: that's how it gets him that soft contact or usually

431
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: makes his bread and brother, but they were just swinging

432
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: through them. So I think part of that is because

433
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: the Phillies were like, we're gonna just try and take

434
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: some hacks because we know when we connect, we're going

435
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: to connect. And the connected a few times, namely Bryce

436
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: Harper with a four hundred and fifty foot home run

437
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: where it was just like was different. Yeah, it was.

438
00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: You heard that. You were like, oh, that guy does

439
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: things other guys can't do, and to make it look like.

440
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: A golf swing, Like and I know you're not a

441
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: big golf guy here, but like sometimes when you hit

442
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: it and then it hits like that second level of

443
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: getting up and you're.

444
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: Like, whoa, that ball got launched.

445
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, four hundred and fifty feet, That ball was truly launched.

446
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: Boem hit in nice one too, and it was just

447
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: like And even Harper, as slow as the year started

448
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 3: coming back from the time of John surgery, definitely struggled

449
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: to find power for a while. The fact he's still

450
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: gonna end up as a three hundred almost three hundred average,

451
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: four hundred on base, five hundred slug guys like it's

452
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: one of the best players in the world. It's you

453
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: can't like. I think people love to hate him. I

454
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: think the hate is less now that he's like a

455
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: little bit more like mature, secure themselves as chilly compared

456
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: to Washington. Like he used to really get the hate

457
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: from the Mets fans. Now I think it's just I

458
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 3: don't like you, but I really respect you, which is

459
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: a positive, positive move, I guess for our people. But

460
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: guy's just incredible at baseball. It's stupid obvious watch football.

461
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: So so good, painful that he's gonna be there forever

462
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: and trade Turner and all these guys hear him be

463
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: there forever got paid, and I mean, like, listen, we

464
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: know how these two seasons have gone for both of

465
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: these teams. Phillies are gonna make the postseason. They might

466
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: make another run here, especially because if their pitching can

467
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: just kind of keep close enough and shape this lineup's

468
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: really really good to compete with the Dodgers and the Braves,

469
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: who were obviously the two favorites.

470
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: In the National League.

471
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 2: But even on the metside, again like just taking some

472
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: positives out of here, especially from the younger guys. Brett

473
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: Beaty two more hits against a top pitcher in the game,

474
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: and Zach Wheeler. Ronnie Maurisio got a hit in this game,

475
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: we saw jumping you with a couple more hits.

476
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: Viento's got a hit.

477
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: Like.

478
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: These are just little things that as the year goes on,

479
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: year goes on, and we I mean even saw it

480
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: with like a guy like just say like ce j

481
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: Abrams getting a little bit of a shot last year,

482
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: starting the year a little bit slow, He's ended up

483
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: having a phenomenal year this year. These are all building

484
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: blocks that they can push into the twenty twenty four

485
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: season and hopefully make a huge impact for the team.

486
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, just making Wheeler work hard, Like we know how

487
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: good a pitcher Wheeler is, Like since he left the Mets,

488
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 3: he's been a perennial top ten basically in the whole game.

489
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: And the fact that there was a lot of the

490
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: balls in play score five runs on him if you

491
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: were were not earned, and then like just kind of

492
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: grinding out of that bats He got really comfortable in

493
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: the middle of the game, like once he got that

494
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: they're getting their time through the order, it felt like

495
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 3: the Mets really starting to see him and then really

496
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: starting to make his competitive had that nice rally in

497
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: the seventh inning to draw close and again like that's

498
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: kind of what we're playing for right now. That sucks,

499
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 3: like that didn't didn't guess what we're gonna be and

500
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: that at This was actually the day after or the

501
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: day the Mets were limited from the postseason, right Saturday. Yeah,

502
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 3: so just nice to see these guys still again grinding

503
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: through it because while it feels like from the outside

504
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: sometimes there's not that much to play for, like we

505
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: tell you guys, there's always a lot to play for

506
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: in the inside, Like guys like baby Mauricio Fianto's every

507
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: single day is like a tryout for next year. Basically

508
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: everything you do could impact the way a coach sees

509
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 3: you in the future every single night.

510
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: I gotta shout out a Reds fan of mine on

511
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: Twitter who like tweeted me the other day about how

512
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, listen, like Mets season's over, Like we

513
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: all know what it is. They're not gonna make the playoffs,

514
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: but I gotta give them credit, like they're still playing

515
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: extremely hard, Like these guys are not giving up at

516
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 2: all these games. Theoretically again, like we said, like don't matter,

517
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: but to them, they're playing as if they're the most

518
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: important games of the season, and that, to me, at

519
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: least from you know, the outside perspective, is some that's

520
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: so huge that there's there's so it's so easy to

521
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 2: just kind of shut it down and kind of coast

522
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: through the end of the season. Got the last week here,

523
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: you could just be like, Eh, these last few games

524
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 2: don't really matter that much, but these guys are still

525
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: playing hard every single day, and it's you got to

526
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: appreciate as a fan.

527
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: Definitely. You look around some other teams around baseball who

528
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 3: have had similar fortunes as the Mets this year, where

529
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 3: it's just like, hasn't gotten their way. I'm not gonna

530
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: name names, but I think you could probably know I'm

531
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: talking about. But there's a few teams that go out

532
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: there every single day. You're like, does look like they're

533
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 3: super engaged all the time. Yeah, And this Mets team

534
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: does look really engaged all the time. They still look

535
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: really excited to win games when they do, so that's

536
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: it's it's meaningful.

537
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: Yep, obviously lost that one, got swept the series. We

538
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: went on the game four. You got anything else from

539
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: that last game or time to talk about the last

540
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 2: one here?

541
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: That was really it's just again the continent thing. I

542
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: feel like that was strategic from the Phillies to be like,

543
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: let's just take some acts like if we whiff, we whiff,

544
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: Like is where he's going to live. We knows where

545
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: he's going to live, so let's just try to connect

546
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 3: on a.

547
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: Few Game four Jose Budo on the mound really really

548
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: needed him for my Fantasy Baseball Champion or a semi

549
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 2: final there.

550
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it wasn't his fault. My team lost by one

551
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: hundred points.

552
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: Still, so shout Richie Mack forgetting to win there and

553
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: moving on to the finals up against James Unfortunately not

554
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: going to be me, but Jose Budo, I mean, he

555
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: is so great up until that sixty pitch mark, which

556
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: we've talked about so often, and that's it makes sense

557
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: because like this year, especially pitching in the miners, like

558
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: your pitching consistency isn't really that like consistent, I guess

559
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: that's the word I would use, consistently, unconsistent, and like

560
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: there were times at points this year where like he

561
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 2: was being used out of the ballbend, like even when

562
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: he came up for the Mets earlier in the year,

563
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: he wasn't being used in this longer kind of role,

564
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: so it makes sense why he might be hitting that

565
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: wall at sixty ish pitches. Again, he's throwing probably more

566
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: innings than he really ever has in the season as well,

567
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: starting to get late into the year. But fifteen swings

568
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: and misses and four innings like this stuff is still

569
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: there and my confidence in him has not wavered one second,

570
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 2: one bit.

571
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: No. And another thing with him with that sixty pitch

572
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 3: thing is it's similar to McGill and we talked about

573
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 3: this with Budou for a long time, and the fact

574
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: that he has developed this slily recently is what's taken

575
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: into this new level because always fastball change up, and

576
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: it's just when you're so fastball heavy and he throws

577
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: his fastball anywhere between fourty the sixty percent of the time,

578
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: sometimes even more in these starts that he makes, it's

579
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 3: just eventually like a bunch of fastballs that are coming

580
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 3: in between, you know, ninety three and ninety six miles

581
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: an hour, like you're gonna start to get a little

582
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: more tires. As the game goes on, You're you're maxing

583
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: out every single time. Again, you're gonna get a little tired,

584
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 3: and they're gonna start being able to time up fastballs.

585
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 3: It's major leg hiers. The shape is good, it's not great,

586
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: and the velocity is also good but not great. So

587
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 3: you only really have so many times you can throw

588
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: that fastball to hit. There's the same times, and then

589
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: I keep getting away with it and they they swung

590
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: and miss. Last night he was really, I thought, especially

591
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: crafty the way that Budo went up against lefties in

592
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 3: this game. He threw about eighty percent of pitches to lefties,

593
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: and again, Phillies have some scary lefties, namely Kyles sh Warber,

594
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: and this team, eighty percent of pitching through the left

595
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 3: handed batters on Sunday were fastballs, and every single one,

596
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 3: you guys can check out on baseball savon Go the

597
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 3: illustrator and the pitch chart. Every single one was in

598
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: the other half of the plate. Most of them really

599
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: on the other edge, working high, working low against them,

600
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: and a couple of changeups worked off there. A couple

601
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: sinkers too, were just picking off some cold strikes. But

602
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: it was really just like being very careful what is

603
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 3: fastball away from lefties? And when that pitch is good,

604
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 3: it looks really really good. It's just that he's you're

605
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: going to get a little tired. And then going from

606
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 3: ninety four, going from ninety five, ninety six, ninety three

607
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 3: ninety four is very big different in major to killers.

608
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: Like that's the difference between being in a butt like

609
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: fastball that has above average velosity versus kind of average

610
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: or blow average velocity. And when that happens, it's difference

611
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 3: between I'm a little late on it so I can

612
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: really start timing this up, and the Phillies did start

613
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: timing it up as as he got past that sixty

614
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: to seventy pitch mark, but still was a game where

615
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: it's just like I'm just encouraged by every time I

616
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: watch him pitch, like he didn't really have his god

617
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 3: feel for the change up this start he's had the

618
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: last few. The slather also was fine, but I didn't

619
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 3: think it really had as much was really fool in hit.

620
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 3: There's as much this time as recently. But each of

621
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: those pitches still got three swings and misses, which is

622
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: fine spot to be when he only they only swung

623
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 3: about eight or nine in the meach and just really

624
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: encouraged by Jose Bud though there's so many things he's

625
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: doing well, and I think there is such an avenue

626
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: for him to be an effective contributor for this team

627
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: next season. Oh one hundred percent.

628
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Budo's Buddos should be a part of this team

629
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 2: without a doubt next season opening day, as long as

630
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 2: all things go to play and he looks like he's.

631
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: Going to have a spot on this team.

632
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: And then, like, honestly, Christopher Sanchez, give him a little

633
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: credit here. He did show us down. He is disgusting

634
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: and outside Ronnie Marisio hitting that home run in the sixth,

635
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: nobody did anything against nothing.

636
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: I talked about the change up. Christopher Sanchez has a

637
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: really nice change up. He is and I mentioned this

638
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 3: in the preview. Last episode is like exactly what happened.

639
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 3: What they did with Ranger Suarez, they did redid it

640
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: with Christopher Sanchez. Swartz had a little bit more of

641
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: a diverse repertoire. But it's just like I'm gonna throw

642
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 3: sinkers like down low on you all day long. Watch

643
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: you roll them over, and then Wenna throw a change

644
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: ups look like the sinkers, but they're gonna drop out

645
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: the second you think you got with them mix it

646
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: a few sliders as well, but his change up, especially,

647
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 3: the Mets were just completely swinging through it as as

648
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 3: much as possible the season, and that with sixteen swings

649
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: and misses on change ups, that was the second most

650
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: times the team has swung and missed at a change

651
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: up against one pitcher in a game all year. I

652
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 3: talked about that Budo had the fourth most, and it

653
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: started a couple of weeks ago when he had thirteen

654
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: of them. I look back today because I was like, oh,

655
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 3: he has sixteen, Like, I wonder who actually had more

656
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: than that? And the start this year and the only

657
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: picture that have more change up with in a single

658
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: game is Christopher Sanchez on September thirteenth against the Lanta Braves,

659
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 3: which is kind of funny. Yeah, Home month with Christopher Sanchez.

660
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: That change up is big, especially this Phillies team where

661
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 3: Tywan Walker has been good. But he's probably not a

662
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 3: guy who you're gonna be like, I want you to

663
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: get me seven ings in a playoff game. As we

664
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: know from watching Tyon Walker last few years. Him being

665
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: a guy that can either piggyback with Tywan Walker in

666
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 3: a Game three or just get switched in the games too. Yeah, right,

667
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: very it's kind of very different. Pitch makes is different armslots.

668
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: They some guy that I think could give a team

669
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 3: an issue in a playoff game because you get when

670
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 3: you get those like sinkers and changes work and you

671
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: could really frustrate a team that you used to hitting

672
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: for a lot of power and if you can locate

673
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: those right. And he's heading into the playoffs pitching as

674
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: good as he has pitched as a professional. He's been

675
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: pretty lights out for about a month and a half now,

676
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 3: two months. That's a weapon of the Phillies, is something

677
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 3: that kind of changes their h what they can do

678
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 3: in a playoff series.

679
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean we talked about Ronny Marisio getting

680
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 2: that home run off of him as well, second home

681
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: run of.

682
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: His career, one hundred and thirty miles an hour. Absolutely

683
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: golf did.

684
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: I don't really even know how he hit this ball

685
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: that hard, but that's just kind of the Ronny and

686
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: Maurusio effect, it seems like, is what he hits the ball,

687
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: it's gonna be exceptionally hard.

688
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 3: Yes, and that was as a right handed bat, if

689
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 3: I remember correctly, because Sencha is left to so now

690
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: He's got one from each side, which is nice.

691
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the last little thing to talk about in

692
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: this game on the Philly side. Very cool moment. O'riyan,

693
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: I think is how you pronounce the name o'riyan. Kirkering

694
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: made his major league debut. He was absolutely disgusting. But

695
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if you called it, James, but his

696
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: dad was hysterically crying for the entire rating. They just

697
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: kept cutting back to him and just the water works

698
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: coming down his face. I was like, ah, God, I

699
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: hate Philly, but this is a really cool moment, Like

700
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: to just be able to see this kid live au dream.

701
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 3: His dad's there.

702
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: He was disgusting. It's very cool.

703
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 3: And also Kirkering is an interesting case because he was

704
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: drafted basically with the site set in him being a

705
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: shutdown reliever, and it was in twenty twenty two. He

706
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: has about sixty professional leagues and he's already up in

707
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: the major leagues. Yes, whoa yeah, and he and he

708
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 3: was a guy who was like a darling of the

709
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: stuff plus miles. He came up through the minor leagues

710
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: and if you guys watched that fastball tonight, it really

711
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 3: had a lot of life coming in ninety nine hundred

712
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: miles an hour. And this again, this is another guy

713
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: now to add to the back of the Phillies bullpen

714
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 3: where it's like, oh, you're I don't know if you're

715
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 3: that good, but you're you're throwing the ball really hard.

716
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: I don't really want to fit against you.

717
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

718
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifth round pick in the twenty twenty two draft

719
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: out of University of South Florida.

720
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: That's yeah.

721
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 2: I mean, he had an unreal year in the minors,

722
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: so it makes sense if this guy look and if

723
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: you guys knows.

724
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: I talked about that night and I'm on our fastball sinker.

725
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: He only threw two of those and it was all

726
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: sliders besides that, and he was just whipping those sliders down.

727
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

728
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: So somebody keep an eye out for in the postseason

729
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: here because it seems like he's got a little bit

730
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: of a ten day tryout to see he's gonna be

731
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: good enough to make that postseason roster. As the Phillies

732
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: I think are pretty close to clinching the postseason, if

733
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: not already clinched it.

734
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a good team. Gress web doesn't another

735
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: feels gonna getwept against the arrival. But right now, this

736
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: team is probably the third best shot to win the

737
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 3: National League. Like that's what That's just what it looks

738
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 3: like right now. And I would even go as far

739
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: as say they probably the second best shot, because don'tally

740
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: believe the Dodgers can can actually get through a playoffs.

741
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 3: Sies is what they have pitching right now. This Phillies

742
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 3: team is dangerous. They're probably our best chance to beat

743
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: the Braves. So I know it's gonna be a really evil,

744
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 3: disgusting feeling in our stomachs when hopefully actually do get

745
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: to play against each other. But that's the world we

746
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: live in right now.

747
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 2: Enemy have a enemy is my friend, and right now,

748
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: the Phillies could be our friends.

749
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: If it means taken down in.

750
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: The Atlanta Braves, if those if it's the lesser of

751
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 3: two evils, I'll pick the Phillies over the Braves.

752
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: Like you even asked me, did we do it?

753
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: On the podcast?

754
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: We're like, do you hate the Phillies more than the Braves?

755
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, absolutely not. Braves are number one,

756
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: clear and far, but the Phillies act like I.

757
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: Hate the Phillies more. I hate the Braves so much more.

758
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: In the Phillies. Not even funny.

759
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: It's like yeah, clo, but like because part of it

760
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: is the stick too. Like Phillies fans would bite on

761
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: every single thing I ever said. I could say Bryce

762
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 2: Harper is the second best player in baseball, they'd be like,

763
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: it's great, you hate him so much.

764
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: He's not the first that you're such a biased Mets fan.

765
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: Braves fans are now starting to do that because I

766
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: could say anything about the Braves and they automatically assume me.

767
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: Like when Ozzie Albees hits a home run, I get

768
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: tagged a hundred times and I go, oh, Braves fans,

769
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: the first thing you think of when your favorite second

770
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: basement hits a home run is my face.

771
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I appreciate you guys.

772
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: Right, It's not a bad place to be. But again, like,

773
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: this is a team that is gonna be a fun

774
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: watch in uh in October baseball, And well, no, no,

775
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna call it fun, but I think I

776
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 3: think I meant it's a fun roster. Yeah, I have

777
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 3: like six really good hitters. They have two pretty amazing pictures,

778
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: two different, two different vibes in the bullpen with like

779
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 3: four guys to one hundred miles an hour. That's pretty fun.

780
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: Whatever I was playing that will be the show'd be like,

781
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 3: I probably.

782
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: Try with that team. That's fair, all right, Yeah, that's fun.

783
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 2: You love Philly too, though I have a hate for

784
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: the city. That's also part of it as well. Is

785
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: the city itself just it's so it's so mid.

786
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: It's the butthole in New Jersey.

787
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 3: It's fun. It's a fun place to have a grimy time.

788
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're feeling grindy. I don't know.

789
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: Cheese steaks. Have we talked about that? Which one is?

790
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: What's your go to?

791
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: I know you can't eat the bread now, but when

792
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: you talk.

793
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 3: About with Alex Faust, I mean I used to love

794
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: gyms and I had one Delasandras that was really good

795
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 3: one time as well. But Jim's was legendary. I think

796
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: Jim's had something having fire, something happened with them, but

797
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: I don't remember. I think the Tony Luke's man, I

798
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: went to Tony Lukes. That was great bread. Sorry to

799
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: rub it in there, but great bread. I used to

800
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 3: have great bread too. I enjoy bread now with I've

801
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: done with cheesteaks. Cheesteaks become one of my favorite gluten

802
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: free meals. Mark watching me eat this like all the

803
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: time because like a lot of things I can eat

804
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: with guile the bars, but I'll get a cheese steak

805
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: or burger. I'll tell them no bun. And I was

806
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,080

00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: It's a great mine course.

810
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,720

Speaker 2: Can you have any anytime of day. But that's the

813
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:18,800

00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 3: down the Somerset Yankees, who were the best team that

827
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: league the whole year. They had like almost seven hundred

828
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: winning percent, Like they were the cream of the crop

829
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: of that division, and we just steamrolled right through them

830
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: with all of our wonderful midseason acquisitions. It felt really good.

831
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean it was awesome. It was very

832
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: cool to be there.

833
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: We got to go onto the field because we we

834
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,000

837
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: super nice. Hopefully we'll be able to see him again soon.

838
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: Long time is also yeah, longtime listener. Also crazy because

00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: like some.

840
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: Tall some tall boys on this this Binghamton roster.

841
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: I mean there's like such a difference of like there's

842
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: me and James size guys with like Luis an Helakunya,

843
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: Drew Gilbert at Williams, and then there's like Paul Gervais

844
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: and Tyler Stewart who are like six foot nine and

845
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: six foot ten or whatever however tall they are, and

846
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: we're like, oh, yeah, it must be well where air's

847
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: gotta be a little different up there, Like it's just

848
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: you got a clear foot on us.

849
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: This is insane, right, And once again that the summerset

850
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: Yankees in the year eighty four and fifty three six

851
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 3: fifteen winning percentage, and we swept him in the playoffs,

852
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: Oh smacked him.

853
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: They so like Dom Hammill, we saw him.

854
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 2: This is the first time I've seen him pitch in

855
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: real life, and I was super impressed because he kind

856
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: of started the game often like the ninety three ninety

857
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: four range, but as the game went on more and

858
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: more started climbing up to ninety five ninety six. I

859
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: think he might have even hit ninety seven at one

860
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: point in this game, because I remember making a comment

861
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: of like ninety seven from Dom Hamill. The slider looked solid,

862
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 2: the changeab look good, and that curveball, which is like

863
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: the calling card for him, that pitch was absolutely filthy.

864
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: No He didn't even use the curveball that much in

865
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: this game. It was really all fastball and Slyther and

866
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: that fastball when he was able to get to above

867
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: ninety five and like keep it up in the zone. No,

868
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: Summers said, Yankee couldn't. Couldn't the Yankees st Patriots. Summers

869
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: and Patriots are still the Patriots. A yah shot a

870
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: Summers oft Patriots. They they really couldn't get a round

871
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 3: on it. And that's a team that has Ben Rice

872
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 3: on it, who's fast becoming one of the highest catching

873
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: prospects in the league. Spencer Jones, who enough talk about

874
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: talk baseball players. Yeah, got a tall drunk a water,

875
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: he's like ast for days. Yeah. And Elijah Dunham, who

876
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: is a good Yankee performer, who's also They had one

877
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: more big prospect leadoff hither I can name leadoff hitter.

878
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: Oh who was it? Oh?

879
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: It was a fantastic prospect. It's one of the top

880
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: prospect system. Really who is what was his name? I'm

881
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: gonna look it up real quick for you. Yeah, just

882
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: keep trying to think of it.

883
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: Great pop was just also so impressive, where Hamil seemed

884
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 3: like this Bigham the team was locked in. They were

885
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: ready to win baseball games. They were all Drew Tray Sweeney.

886
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: Of course he had former first round pick. So there's

887
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: a couple a couple of potential major leaguers on that

888
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: Yankee roster, and Dom Hamill ran right through him pitching

889
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: the eighth inning, and he was really economical. His pitchcown too.

890
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 3: He barely even got two hundred pitches until he ran

891
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 3: into some trouble in the eighth. Also, eight or nine strikeouts,

892
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: maybe maybe one or two walks, maybe no walks. Actually,

893
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go back and check right now, but it's

894
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: just pitching a lot of the motion dog dog That's

895
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: what I was saying. He just every at bad. He

896
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: just challenged guys. He was gonna go right at them.

897
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: Two walks, eight strikeouts, nowhere runs only three hits. It

898
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: was just he was After the seventh inning, he was

899
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 3: like really like flexing, really enjoying himself. And he came

900
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: back out for the eighth a lot of energy. He

901
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: was like snapping the ball back when he was throwing

902
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: warm ups, and then when he came out of the game,

903
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: he just like really like took a sauce around the

904
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 3: mounds and looked around, He's like, yeah, right, and then

905
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: we saw him even before the game. He had tons

906
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 3: of swag. He's got like an arm sleeve, he's wearing

907
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 3: a headband like he's like this, this guy's pretty cool.

908
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: And then after the game, just part of the celebration

909
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: as well deserved.

910
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we got to see our first experience

911
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: of watching Paul Gervas as well. Who I mean, I'm

912
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: sure the guys who are listening to this, who listened

913
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: to the Future of Flushing. You guys know John Vito

914
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: Rip like five episodes a week talking about the minor

915
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 2: leagues all the time, So you've probably heard a lot

916
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: about Paul Gervais. But for me and James, like hearing

917
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: about it and seeing it felt very, very different, because

918
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: first off, he's a massive human and second off, was

919
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: pretty disgustingly good.

920
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

921
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: He has a crazy arm slot where he's so big

922
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 3: that he releases I would even say like lower than

923
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: three quarters, like almost like a full side armor. And

924
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: his pitch that gives this pitch a lot of natural

925
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 3: movement on it. John was telling us as a four seemer,

926
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: but it looked very two seemy and it just looked

927
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: like there's a lot of the way that ball's coming

928
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: out of his hand. It felt sinkerish too, where it

929
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 3: was just like he kept like nipping off the low

930
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: and outside corner to lefties as a righty to where

931
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: he was a big riighty and he was pitching and

932
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: like out like almost side armish. So it's coming out

933
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: from the side view, and it's a fastball, so it

934
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 3: doesn't really have that much move, like no break on

935
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: the pitch, but it would just like shoot back over

936
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: into the lower lower third and the hitters would be like,

937
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 3: there was not a second I could have actually got

938
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 3: around hit that pitch, and he just kept putting it

939
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: there and putting it there and putting it there, and

940
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: Yankee hitlers couldn't do anything. And then once in a

941
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 3: while off that spot he would rip a slitherer off

942
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 3: and be like, oh my god, like that just came

943
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: out of my back foot and even think there's gonna

944
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 3: be a strike on the outside. It's really impressive.

945
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: No, he's been discussing on the year.

946
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 2: He has a two point zero five ERA and fifty

947
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: seven innings between high A and double A twenty three

948
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: year old from the twenty twenty two MLB Draft twelfth

949
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 2: round out of LSU six foot ten, six foot ten,

950
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: could you even imagine what an extra foot would do

951
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 2: to your life?

952
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 3: Good by just saying like that, it would do the

953
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: same to me. It's a foot for me too. I'm

954
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 3: five to nine true, even hammiled. That was four straight

955
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 3: stars for Dom Hamler. He hadn't given up an earn

956
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 3: run over twenty one innings.

957
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: Also found out something about Paul Gervais spit up a

958
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: juco bandit as well. He went to Fier University and

959
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: pit Community College before getting to LSU.

960
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,120

961
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: That's a guy who's like, I'm just here to play,

962
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 2: I'm a grinder, I'm getting better and better, And then

963
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 2: getting the call to LSU's about as good as it

964
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,000

00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: balls to left field and I called it actually right

980

Speaker 2: at after his final start this year?

985
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 3: I don't know if I like that one because it's

986
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 3: not that much. It could really move here, Yeah, but

987
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 3: like you know, it can totally move.

988
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: It's it's about being right. You can literally run a

989
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: calculation if you want to. Yeah, guess your time podcasting

990
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 2: for the people. Pull out the R calculator. It's easy.

991
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: Just type in the numbers. You pull up his baseball savant.

992
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 2: You type in the numbers, and you're telling me what

993
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: do you think he's gonna pitch in his next start?

994
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 3: It's true actually all right, Yeah, it's.

995
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: Not that bad here.

996
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 3: You just didn't like it.

997
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: You didn't like it because you know I'm gonna get

998
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: this one right. You want something that This is too

999
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: much thinking for you. This is too too much technology

1000
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: for you on this one.

1001
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like the technology. I could just feel

1002
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 3: it through the baseball.

1003
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1004
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: Technology is good technologies, it's knowledge, all right. So right now,

1005
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: let me make sure I got that right perfect. I

1006
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: got his era correct. I'm gonna say he goes this

1007
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: and he gives up that.

1008
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: All right. I've got my number. I don't know if

1009
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: you have yours.

1010
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 3: I got mine. Do you have your wipe boarding it? Yeah?

1011
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, wait didn't Okay, I I'm going I'm good.

1012
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: I got my.

1013
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 3: Number three to this number one looks like a different number.

1014
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 3: Hold on, okay, al right, it could be. It could

1015
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: be a major. I'll start fall start big. I mean,

1016
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: I'm the one to have to wear the full kid again,

1017
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna try to win this one.

1018
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. I mean, we still don't know what

1019
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 2: my punishment is gonna be. We don't know if I'm

1020
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: gonna do. I mean, I'm gonna lose. We know it,

1021
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: but we don't know if I'm gonna do. Uh, by

1022
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: the way, one the estimate Mets got swept in a

1023
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 2: four game series.

1024
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 3: Yeah right, it's not this is not a joke. It's

1025
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 3: not good. We needed me to lose.

1026
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: But ready, yes, three two one bang, I'm saying it's

1027
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: not moving two nine four, two nine six. I wrote

1028
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: him down for six and a third two earned.

1029
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 3: Runs, run down for six with two in runs, and

1030
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 3: knock them down a little bit of mine.

1031
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, because it's someone did the calculations wrong, I'm

1032
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and just say he's staying at two

1033
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 2: point nine sixes, which where he's at right now.

1034
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 3: I said two turned runs and seven innings. I guess

1035
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: I'm a real Yeah, you're a little skeptical. Wow, so

1036
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 3: that's six or seventh inning. We could be in the

1037
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 3: racer's edge. It's gonna be fun.

1038
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: That's gonna be fun. We're at the ballpark, will be

1039
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: locked in even more than we normally are.

1040
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah right, or if you just now see now what

1041
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 3: you did too is like in the way you do

1042
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 3: where the Mets lose and you win. Like if he

1043
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 3: just gives up three or four runs, you're gonna win. Yeah,

1044
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 3: that's true, that's true. I need I need him just

1045
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: pitch well. I mean, he's good, he's good, he's he's

1046
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: gonna be home.

1047
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: He loves pitching at home. We know he saw the

1048
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: Marlins recently.

1049
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 2: Maybe could give us the rest of the pitching matchups

1050
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: for the series as well coming up here.

1051
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, pitching matchups for the series is gonna be well.

1052
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 3: Marlins having Marlins if yet to name on ESPN right now,

1053
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 3: but Tuesday we're gonna have Luke Z and then Wednesday Sanga,

1054
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 3: Thursday Miguel and based on with the Marlins. They got

1055
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: bad news about Sandy a contra over the weekend, which

1056
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: it seems like it's not even the real bad news

1057
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: yet it seems like it's really bad news. There's not

1058
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 3: really saying it. And they have Lazar though Edward Cobre,

1059
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 3: Edward Cabrera and Brax and Garrett scheduled for their weekend

1060
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: series in Pittsburgh. So who braxing Garrett is scheduled for tomorrow?

1061
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 3: I saw I have Garrett for tomorrow. I said that,

1062
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 3: and then so then who else was him? Two days ago?

1063
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: Pitch for them? Uri? Could Uri be coming back? Yeah?

1064
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: I guess Uri probably will pitch. I guess they haven't

1065
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 3: been naming him to starter the because he's not really

1066
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: throwing a whole ton. But yeah, Uri makes sense then,

1067
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't know. But the big thing with

1068
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 3: the Marlins here, we you guys know, we just took

1069
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 3: two or three from them. They then just played the

1070
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 3: home series against the Brewers and took two out of

1071
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 3: three from them after they got a viscerated for sixteen

1072
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 3: runs on Friday night. They won two tight games and

1073
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 3: really got themselves back into the situation where they actually

1074
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 3: could make the postseason.

1075
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: Here.

1076
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean they're currently one game out at

1077
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 2: the time of looking at what the standings are when

1078
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 2: we're recording this, they're eighty one to seventy five, one

1079
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 2: game behind the Chicago Cubs, one and a half games

1080
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 2: behind the Diamondbacks.

1081
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: We have an opportunity to keep them.

1082
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 2: Out of the postseason, and I would love nothing more

1083
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 2: than that. I'd love nothing more than to see the

1084
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: Marlins at home in October like the rest of us.

1085
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a few times in our lives, you guys, remember,

1086
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 3: the Marlins have kept us out of the postseason. Yeah,

1087
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 3: so I would really like to do that to them.

1088
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, And I just the fact that Ernie just

1089
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: like did this to us, like within the last year

1090
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: beat going from the Marlins to the Mets, and the

1091
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: Mets don't make the postseason, the Marlins might make it,

1092
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 2: Like I can't have them make it because then.

1093
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: Because I gotta fight my friend. Well, I don't want

1094
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: to fight Ernie.

1095
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 3: Well, then we just have to demand he relinquishes his

1096
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 3: Mets fandom. And we won't do that to anybody. But

1097
