1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Somehow it gets worse in Mets world. They win the

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: last game of the series on a walk off, but

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: it was a nightmare of a weekend. Brett Baty versus

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Mark Viento's is a big storyline. The media marvels are strong,

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: including ourselves for this episode. I mean, it's been a

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: bad weekend for the Mets. Let's go ahead and talk

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: about it. What is up? Mets fans, Welcome back to

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: up a series with the Giants. It was the baseball

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: games were played. It was more day weekend, so hopefully

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: you guys didn't have to watch a lot of it.

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you were busy barbecue in, eat some burgers out

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: in the ocean at the beach, doing anything than watching

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: this Mets team. Because it was a miserable, miserable weekend. Hey,

Speaker 1: hand up on us two. We play. We played into

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: the misery that was the New York Mets. But we're

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: gonna talk about everything that's going on. A lot of storylines.

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz, Brett, Baby Viento, Door, Christian Scott. I mean,

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: the list goes on and on. It somehow never stops

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: at the New York mets and that's why you guys

00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: going on? It's good? Great weekend, Ne York.

37
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: I think it's the first time since I moved here

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: that I stayed in the city for Memorial Day. Your

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: job got to do some we're working weekends, so like

40
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: kind of stinks, but also kind of fun. Like on Tuesday,

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be off and everybody's morning and growing and

42
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: back of work, and I have such a nice day

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: by myself, but lovely again. Never spent a memorially weekend

44
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: in New York, and there's tons of stuff to do.

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Things are a little less crowdy because nobody's here, beautiful weather.

46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: I hammicked back to back days in mccaren park, been

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: reading about Marvin Miller and challenging the reserve clause in

48
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: the sixties and seventies and baseball history. But pleasant weekend.

49
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: The only thing that went wrong for me this weekend,

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: because even the Rangers went to we no, was the Mets,

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: because this was again somehow it just keeps getting worse

52
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: and worse, Like thank God they won the game on Sunday,

53
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: which was a pure miracle. I can't even believe it

54
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: happened anyway. Tim Healy had a tweet after the game.

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: The Mets are eleven and sixteen at City Field this season.

56
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: Five of the eleven wins walkoffs.

57
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Were the Mets. What jerseys were the Mets wearing today? Blue? Okay,

58
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: so they've won now in an alternate jersey, which is

59
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: the first time of the year that they've won in

60
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: New Jersey is not or the home or away. I

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: know marketing is going to love that one. That's great

62
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: for them. But yeah, let's just let's talk about I mean,

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: let's get the good out of the way. First. Omar

64
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Nerve's first hit at City Field as a walk off winner,

65
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: which this year, Yeah, this year. Well, welcome Omar Nervaaz

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: as a member of the New York Mets in twenty

67
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: twenty four at home. Thank you so much for showing up.

68
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: And Harrison Beata again, I mean, listen, he's not gonna

69
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 1: do anything particularly sexy, but he's got some big hits

70
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: for this team. And I'll give him, I'll give him

71
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: some credit. He's stepping up and playing with some dog

72
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: when a lot of players on this team seem to

73
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: be kind of hiding a little bit.

74
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: It's a weird thing happening with the team because we've

75
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: got Baity and Vanto's talk about as well that the

76
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: guys who seem to be competing for their jobs seem

77
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: to be finding ways to play the best and even

78
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: Beta like he said, what two to eighty with seven

79
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: six stolen bases, Like.

80
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's playing great defense.

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: It's a really good season from a guy were only

82
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: paying ten million dollars. But I seeing them rally sticks

83
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: with the same rhetoric that for some reason, like the

84
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: Mets are the only team in Major League Baseball for

85
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: the last three years to find the way they hit

86
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: Tyler Rodgers. He's unhittable, I guess the rest of the league,

87
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: but some for somehow, some way, the Mets always get

88
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: to him. But save to Day really saved the day

89
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: because the Mets we have lost again on Sunday, and

90
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: it felt for eight and a half innings like they

91
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: were going to that it could have been just disaster

92
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: written all over this whole thing again, because you blow

93
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: a lead on Friday, you blow a lead on Saturday.

94
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: Two games that were really winnable, and that's kind of

95
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: the worst part about this massive skid for the Mets.

96
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: But I think they've lost I think it's like twenty

97
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: two out of thirty two games something like that right now,

98
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: and it's like you just feel like half of those

99
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: losses are very winnable. And now you have I think

100
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: five blown saves mixed in there from edwind Diaz. You

101
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: have read Garrett giving up a monster shot to Patrick

102
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: Bailey on Friday Night, Into the Into the Queens Sky.

103
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: It's just it's pain and like I know, like I

104
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: don't hate to say same shit every time.

105
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: It's good.

106
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: Things are like they're good at like there water will

107
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: find a level. Like I think how we talked a

108
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: lot about Murphy's Law today in the broadcast, him and

109
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: him and Keith Rath a really fun weekend, just totally

110
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: like getting to the line of my chastising the team

111
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: and then stopping to talk, like how we would just

112
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: go silent for like four minutes in a row, just

113
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: like I know how he wants to really say something

114
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: you can't really say right now. But it's just like

115
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know if I had hell edwuind

116
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: thing pisses me off. It's just the lineup is actually

117
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: hitting a tiny bit sometimes kind of Friday night at

118
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: least as.

119
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: As they can't. There's no click, there's no click in

120
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: their roster. Yeah, I know you're talking about like water

121
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: roll level. I'm unfortunately of the mindset of I don't

122
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: think it will. I just don't think this team has it.

123
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: But the one thing I think will eventually level off

124
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: is Edwin Diaz. That being said, right now, that is

125
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: not the case because mentally he's all fucked up. Physically

126
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent, and whatever else you got to

127
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: add in there, there's a huge problem here. And the

128
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: Mets did a really weird thing where after he blew

129
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: that game against the Marlins or yeah, the Marlins, right,

130
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: they were like, we're not gonna use Edwin as our

131
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: closer for right now. We're gonna use him in different

132
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: situations to make sure he gets comfortable, get him right.

133
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: They used him one time. He struggled in that inning.

134
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: It really wasn't that great of an appearance. Statistically speaking,

135
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: if you looked at the box score, you would think

136
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: it was great, but if you watch it'd be like, oh,

137
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: Edwin really still wasn't his sharpest. And then they said,

138
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: you know what, tomorrow, you're back to the closer role again.

139
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: And it blew up in their face. And I can't

140
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: understand how or why they came to that decision when

141
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: they were so publicly against it for a while.

142
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: Even worse than that, they were so protective Edmund DIDs

143
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: for the first month ish.

144
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: Of the season.

145
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: I think he only had two or three back to

146
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: back appearances until this point. In the season in total,

147
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 2: I understand that he had a full week off, no

148
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: six days off, so Sunday, mar full week off, so

149
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: Saturday to Friday, so six days off in between that

150
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: Marlins fiasco and then pitching on Friday night, And even

151
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: after he pitched on Friday Night in the seventh inning, like,

152
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: the Mets were still noncommitted about him being in the

153
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: closer role. But I think the thing that changed and

154
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: forced their hands was the fact that Reed Garrett gave

155
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: up a monster shot grand slams of Patrick Bailey which

156
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: lost the game on Friday Night. So I guess for

157
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: the Mets team, for the management of Carlos Mendoza the

158
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: second now you don't think you have the other guy

159
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: who you wanted to close, ready, you don't trust him

160
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: as much anymore. Now suddenly you go back to Edwin.

161
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure there were conversations with Edwin like, hey, if

162
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: we need you in a one run game, so they

163
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: could do it, and I'm sure he said yes. But

164
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: I think it's just horrible the way they've handled this

165
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: because again, if you yeah, look at the box score,

166
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: like you said, Friday night was a fine appearance read

167
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: in thes I think he gave it a hit and

168
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: it was it was. It was a clean ending. Besides that,

169
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: no strikeouts, no walks, But jorgece Hulaier put the ball

170
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: to the wall. He had tons of fastballs and sliders

171
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: that weren't even close to the strike zone. He did

172
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: get to ninety nine miles an hour, which I think

173
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: might have been something they saw and been like, okay, cool,

174
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: But the IVB still wasn't back to the spot that

175
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: was before his injury. But maybe I don't know, maybe

176
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: it doesn't even get back to was before his injury.

177
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: It's just you're you're a different picture when you're pitching

178
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: ninety seven verst ninety nine.

179
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: That's a huge difference. But it's just I don't know.

180
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate it.

181
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: I hate it the way the Mets did that. I

182
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: think right now they're doing Edmund did As tremendous disservice.

183
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: And again, he's a competitor. He's used to being one

184
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: of the best pitches in the league, so I'm sure

185
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: that he's like, give me the ball. I want the ball,

186
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: like I am the closer. If I have to get

187
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: back to myself, I'm going to get back to myself.

188
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: But the whole point of coaches of front office people

189
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: is to put your players in the best position possible

190
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: for them to succeed. That is your job right now

191
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: as the coach, the manager, the executive, and the Mets

192
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: did not do that with Vandez's weekend, to use him

193
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: in a back to back, to use Hi when he

194
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: still looked like one hundred percent like himself, and to

195
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: use him in a one run game like that, It's

196
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: just all those things together. It was probably the worst

197
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: possible scenario code throw him back into and they did

198
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: it anyway, and it.

199
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Totally came back to bite them. Yeah, this one, I

200
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: don't know who the finger goes to. I guess it's

201
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: pointed at Mendoza, mostly because he makes the decisions. It's

202
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: a little bit on Sterns too, just as as a

203
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: whole for the organization to botch it the way that

204
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: they have sucks. And I think there's gonna be a

205
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: bunch of fans out there too that are probably like, well,

206
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz needs to be better. He's our closer. Enough

207
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: of this bullshit, Like if he can't do it now,

208
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: like what are we waiting for? But in the same

209
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: time again, Like we've mentioned on this podcast many times,

210
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: what are the pictures I've ever had this injury? How

211
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: have they come back? Like, there's just not a lot

212
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: of data on what goes on. And for a guy

213
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: like Edwin, who I don't want to say relies on

214
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: being electric, but he was able to get away with

215
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: his mistakes in the past, like he could throw a

216
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: fastball down the middle because it was one hundred miles

217
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: an hour, or he can maybe miss a little bit

218
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: with the slider because it tunneled so well off that fastball.

219
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: But because he doesn't have that stuff working right now,

220
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: he's just very hittable. He's vulnerable, and the Mets let

221
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: him left him out to dry and again, like in

222
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: what has been such a top us included toxic a

223
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: little bit at times like media World, Frenzy, Twitter, whatever

224
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: is going on, they just let him out there to

225
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: get to fail again. Because if he gets to save,

226
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: you're like great, but when if he botched it like that,

227
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: This now continues of what four or five blown saves

228
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: in a row for Edwin Dias where this is now

229
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: becoming a problem. There are Mets fans that are pissed.

230
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: There's Mets fans that are gonna boo this guy. It's

231
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: like we did such a good job to flip the

232
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: narrative on him when he became that lockdown closer, and

233
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: it feels like we're trying to piss it away for

234
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: a team that's ten games under five hundred.

235
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 2: Also, fuck the narrative, like that doesn't matter, Like this

236
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: is a guy who's a ceentral part of this team.

237
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: If he's the guy that he's he could be and

238
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 2: used to be and problem hopefully will be again, Like

239
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: this entire two week stretch is totally different. Yeah, if

240
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: he just saves that Monday night game against the Phillies,

241
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: I don't even think this slide really happens, But that

242
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: affects everything. You're on the team, and the roster trickles down,

243
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: and the team's done a reasonably good job of picking

244
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: him up, like everyone's been positive with him.

245
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: But just after that.

246
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 2: Marlins game again, going back to that GELP report that

247
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: like whatever, he's crying, he's crying his locker. Okay, the

248
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: Met's saying he's not the closer. We're gonna gi him

249
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: some time off. Still not the closer, Still not the

250
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: closure to keep going publicly, Mendoza is saying he's not

251
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: the closer.

252
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna evaluate it day by day.

253
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: And just because your other reliever gets bombed and now

254
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: you go right back into it. As the trumpets. Blair

255
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: also so awkward. They played the trumpets and the seventh inning.

256
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: That's bad. That was bizarre.

257
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: The Strobe lights blaring, and he's the seventh inning. Of course,

258
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: how could they not They had the lights. They literally

259
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: bought those lights for that reason. But it's just it's

260
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: it just seems like there's no cohesiveness in what they're doing,

261
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 2: decision making, and it's just to say publicly he's not

262
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: the closer, like you're trying to misdirect the Giants, like

263
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what the plan is. And then the

264
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 2: old Bill Belichick, Tom Brady's probable every single week he

265
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: got he gotta get ready for uh whoever is going

266
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: to be the Matt Castle, You never know. And then

267
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 2: you could just see how deflated the team was. And

268
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 2: on Saturday after that happened like they went out so

269
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: easily in the bottom of the ninth inning of the

270
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: tie game, and then they and then then the Giants

271
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: should open the floodgates on Sean red Foley and John

272
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Walker in the eleventh.

273
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: It's just again. Also, the stremskiy w always seems to

274
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: get big hit against the Mets. I don't know how.

275
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: I don't know why he always seems to get big

276
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: hit against the Mets, but it's just painful. It's every

277
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: single time. It's just a different reason of how this

278
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: whole thing gets screwed up. And I just don't know

279
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: what to do.

280
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: And now, now, when's the next time he pitches? What

281
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: happens next? Like now with you do you keep back.

282
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: Yourself to the corners? And also this could have been

283
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: such a good win because it was a nice moment

284
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 2: for Brett Bayley to had a huge go ahead home run.

285
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: He was super amped and went to the upper deck.

286
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: He was another great star by Luis Severino, who's had

287
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: such a good season. He's been such a fucking beam

288
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: of light into this team. And if they if again,

289
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: if the Mets end up doing well like Louise everbody's

290
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: gonna be it takes in the second half, if the

291
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: Mets stay around five hundred. He's a guy who can

292
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: offer the qualifying off and I'd love to have a

293
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: rotation next year. If the Mets fall out is further

294
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: and he's a trade piece, you probably get a haul

295
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: for him because it's a half year and an option

296
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 2: for a guy who suddenly again looks like one of

297
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: the thirty best starting pitchers in baseball.

298
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: And he was.

299
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: He was throwing gas in this game. He got out

300
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: to ninety nine miles an hour. He was perfect through

301
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: five innings. Like it was again, I'll just gas, gas gas.

302
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: And I saw a good note from Tacomo that he

303
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: readjusted his sweeper grip.

304
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: He put it up.

305
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: I think he it was a I don't remember what

306
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 2: it was. It was either on the lace or just

307
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 2: off the lace. He fat, he saw, he saw his

308
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: finger was drifting and he got more sharper movement on it.

309
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 2: He got three more whiffs in this game with that

310
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: pitch and only seven swings. He threw in the zone

311
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: more often. It was.

312
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: It looked good again. It was just everything worked with else.

313
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: You know, he's been awesome.

314
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: But for all these pretty good things that happen in

315
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: this game, they all got snapped away like that, just

316
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: like that gone.

317
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then they lost seven to two. Yeah, like it

318
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: score more than two runs. I understand that, but like,

319
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: come on, no, they again they don't. This team's not

320
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: playing good baseball like we we talked about this season,

321
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: like the Mets were gonna at least play good baseball.

322
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: And David Stearns even got in the booth during the

323
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: game it was like, I've been disappointed with the defense

324
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: and it's like they're they're not executing the way that

325
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: this that's this team in front office had hoped. And

326
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: part of it is just that a lot of the

327
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: guys are not even really having good years, like Francisco

328
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: Lindor swinging the bat a little bit better again, but

329
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: until those numbers really start to ride, Like, I'm not

330
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: gonna buy it completely. I'm just I'm being very very

331
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: cautious and patient with him. But I did see him

332
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: pull that ball down the right field line left handed.

333
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: I said, that's the swing I've been looking for. That's

334
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: an aggressive swing. That's something we needed to see. But

335
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: then he had that awful, awful take on the three

336
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: to two pitch to Jordan Hicks, which it was Manuel Rodriguez.

337
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: Was Manuel Rodriguez, Okay, my bad. Apologies to the Rodriguez family.

338
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: Fry Rodriguez Randy Rodriguez. Manuel is the Twins prospect we love.

339
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: But Randy Rodriguez in Lindor said he couldn't see the

340
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: spin on his pitches. He was having a hard time

341
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: tracking it and he basically just took a pitch with

342
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: two strikes and obviously it was strike three down the middle.

343
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: And it's probably one of the most frustrating videos I've

344
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: seen in a long time of a player on the

345
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: New York Mets. Yeah, it's also worse because it was

346
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: a man's scoring position. It was an insurance run that

347
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: I think the time they were actually still tied, was

348
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: a run that if you score another run, you'd likely

349
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: win this game. And it was bad. It's super bad

350
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: visual and just like we love Francisco Indoor over here

351
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: and I said it last episode, it's getting frustrating. He's

352
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: doing stupid shit that is preventable and he's continuing to

353
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: do and it's like, just swing. If you just take

354
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: a bad swing there, people say you suck whatever. You

355
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: can get over that. You're professional baseball player. You take

356
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: a pitch with a three to two pitch like that,

357
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: with a man in scorn position with a chance to

358
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: make a big moment. The story's changed. Now now you

359
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: look like an asshole, and like, I don't think you are.

360
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: I have no beef with Francisco Indoor, but he's doing

361
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: a lot of stupid shit that's making it really hard

362
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: and tiring to defend this guy. Now.

363
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: It was just a really weird moment. And he like

364
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: saying he didn't pick up a spin after the game.

365
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: I've never I've never heard the player say that before.

366
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the Beat reporters were like,

367
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: what do you mean? He just kept like kind of

368
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: saying the same thing. I don't know, it just it

369
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: seemed like a like a lack of focus for a moment.

370
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: Howie was like, was he not ready for that pitch?

371
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: Like was it like a pitchclock thing? That? Was he

372
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: trying to call time? Like everybody was vex and never

373
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: was saying like that before. Also, your Physcal Indoor season

374
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: has been this year.

375
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: How weird? Now it is a higher ps lefty than righty?

376
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: What I mean, they're both very low. I'm assume they're

377
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: both probably like six thirty versus six ten. If I

378
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: had to guess, Yeah, I think it's like I think

379
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: it was like six ten versus six ninety or something. Okay, yeah,

380
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: it was still bad. Yeah, but it's it's just a

381
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: weird game.

382
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: Also in that ninth inning for Edwin, just to go

383
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: back to that, like he got super belled out by

384
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: the fact that Starling Marte who got the big hit it.

385
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: Was it was also Y Strepsky.

386
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: Wasn't Wilmer. It wasn't Wilmer. I don't remember it was

387
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: with Bailey might even Patrick Bailey lamon a medicular by

388
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: the way, Patrick Bailey official mecular. Well, we'll talk about

389
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: that with Tacomo in a little bit. I don't know

390
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: why you keep poking the bear and keep keep bringing

391
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: back a really bad joke. Tocomo's I think almost worked

392
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: his way out of the trust treated beat reporters.

393
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but.

394
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we got smoked at ending. Every almost every

395
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: single ball was hit hard. He did get one strikeout

396
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: and a bunch of fastballs, but it was it was

397
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: not there. It wasn't even close to being there. And

398
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: it's just it's it's terrible to see this time after

399
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: time with him because now it's as it was physical before,

400
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: but I think he was getting through it with the mentals,

401
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: but now it's becoming as much mentals to this physical,

402
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: if not significantly more, and after the game that like,

403
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: how do you feel?

404
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Where's your confidence? Like he's like, I'm fine, but it

405
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: was not. These eyes are glazed, looks dead inside. He's

406
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: just I'm flying. Yeah, he got the fun, you got

407
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: the mentals. He's got neither of them right now.

408
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: It looks like a college freshman after their ninth child

409
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: the Fireball at ten twenty six pm.

410
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: Cras mean, he's loozy, not fine.

411
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: God, it's just it's so frustrated team to get so

412
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: close to doing something okay, and it's just it's just

413
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: it's it's comical how they lose these games.

414
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Now.

415
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: I guess we'll even go through Friday night now, just

416
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: trying to be somewhat on topic, but also just like

417
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: dis horrible. It's like, I guess talk about chrisian s

418
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: good for a little bit first, because he had a

419
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: game that wasn't in anywhere close to his best game

420
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: as a met but also I think something that was

421
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: really encouraging where he very clearly had nothing and he

422
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: still went up and down this Giant's line and didn't

423
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: really let them do any damage at all to him

424
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: it was. It was weird, like he had one swing

425
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: and miss and no strikeouts entering the fifth inning of

426
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: this game, and he's still only allowed to run, which

427
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: is even amazing. But he had no command of the

428
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: sweeper at all. They were just bad spots the whole game.

429
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: They were way out or way in. And I don't

430
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 2: think he got one swinging mess or maybe it got

431
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: one on touple check on stack cast a second, but

432
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: he got the quality start. He got the last twelve

433
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: giants out that he faced, and he struck out four

434
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: of the last six battests that he faced. He still

435
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: gave up the home run. That's just gonna be something

436
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: that happens with Christian Scott. He's gonna give up home runs.

437
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: But it's just really cool to see him as a

438
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: rookie like cut this thing out when he didn't really have.

439
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: Shit, a little bit of dog in them. Like the

440
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: young guys and the dudes who are fighting for spots,

441
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: like you said, have been the ones have been performing.

442
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: And I think I mentioned in the last episode that

443
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: there is this It's not entitlement in the way of

444
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: like how you would think about it, like a spoilered

445
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: little brat kid, But there definitely is a little bit

446
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: of the entitlement thing going on of the Mets, where

447
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: the guys who don't have a guaranteed spot are fighting

448
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: hard and the rest of them, I think are still

449
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: fighting hard, but they're not performing. So what is it like?

450
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: What's going on? And it's the classic everything's gonna be okay,

451
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: We'll be all right, none of that anymore. But two

452
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: guys who are fighting for spots that are kind of

453
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: turning into a little bright spot here. The competition seems

454
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: to be good. Brett Baty, Mark Viento's Batty had that

455
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: big home run, had another hit I think on Sunday,

456
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: starting to swing the bat a little bit better. Still,

457
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: some head scratching at bats for sure, and I think

458
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: that's just a team approach thing that we've talked about before.

459
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: But it seems like having Mark Vento's there, Vento's getting

460
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: playing time looking as good as Mark Viento's has kind

461
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: of a little fire under these two asses. And that's

462
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: that's one good thing to take out of this team

463
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah.

464
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: He at the time of Friday night, it felt like

465
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: that Viendo's had basically taken the job before Baty got

466
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: two straight starts Saturday and Sunday, and again played well

467
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: in those Tames, made a great he made a great

468
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: spending play, and Saturday hit the big home run Saturday.

469
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: I don't even think Baty's problem, though, is like a

470
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: Mets team approach thing. I think he is just someone

471
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: who seems like he really struggles to pitch recognition, similar

472
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: similar to Viento's. I look at pure veloci splits, but

473
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: if you look on Baseball Savant, they have run values

474
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: for every player in every pitch. It's a good sense

475
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: to get like a snapshot of bathers because you could

476
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: see like if there's a certain pitch they struggle with,

477
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: and Baby is bad against fastball, it's horrible agains fastball.

478
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 2: So I think early in the season he was just

479
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: kind of cheating for those pitches, and now he just

480
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: looks like kind of lost me gets up there.

481
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes.

482
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: It's how he looked last year, which was the shame.

483
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: But as of Friday night, after this game, Fiantos has

484
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: started six out of nine games.

485
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: His OPS was almost twelve hundred.

486
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: He had three home runs I think four home runs

487
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: whatever it was, and the home runs he went back

488
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: to back with j D and they were feeling good

489
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: and they both crushed the ball. Pete had a huge

490
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: one too, and it was like nice JD went second deck.

491
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, they're gonna win. They were

492
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: all over. They were all over Kyle Harrison. It was

493
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: a great game. Everybody gets up and down the line up.

494
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: I got to interrupt you too. That was another three

495
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: home run game that the Mets, I know, yeah, and

496
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: that's three in a row, which surely has to be

497
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: the first time in major league history. I think someone

498
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: might have said it was like Mike Mayor to Calmar

499
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: one of those guys, that was the first time in

500
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: major league history.

501
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: But it's just so painful. It's so painful.

502
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: I don't know how or why this team he's doing

503
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: and it just sucks that like edwind did come in,

504
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 2: and I also miss book before he did the two

505
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: strike guns and look.

506
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: At the box score now on Friday.

507
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: But then just Regarrett just gives up little dinks, little donks.

508
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: He walks a guy, and then Patrick Bailey hits a

509
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: piss missile. Who's just Patrick Bailey is an awesome player,

510
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: Like I don't think he gets the credit he deserves

511
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: as being mostly because Anthony Dicomo as a top five

512
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: draft pick and a guy who right now has an

513
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: eight like a fifty ops as a catch up.

514
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: I don't think he was top five. I think he

515
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: was like a top twenty guy. But he was the

516
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: first eleven, eleventh overall or something like that. Eleventh might

517
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: sound right, I can get behind eleventh, yeah, something like that.

518
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: But just a horrible lose a game like that, and

519
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: then it gets so much worse because Hory Lopez allows

520
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: insurance run in the in the eighth inning, and then yeah, wait,

521
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: who someone gotta run. I'd just sell with we get

522
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: such a blur. He allows the insurance run when he

523
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: pitches the top of the knife, and then we actually

524
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: do rally in the bottom of the ninth from doors,

525
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: a big RBI hit. He hit the ball so hard

526
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: off the wall he couldn't even get a double.

527
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: He got single. And then they end up loading the

528
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: bases for JD.

529
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: Martinez with one out and he fucking strikes out against

530
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 2: Camille d'vall after Pete had a surefiud double play ball

531
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: and Mark Luciano. But it it was like nice baseball

532
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: gods have given us a chance here and for JD

533
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 2: professional hitter like that veteran to strike out with one

534
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: out and the bases loaded and leave that run out there,

535
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: and then Vianto's hits the dribbler and Mark Matt Chapman

536
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: makes one of the best infield plays I've seen in

537
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 2: like a calendar year, and get you. You have to

538
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: give Matt Chadman crazy is an awesome baseball player, Like

539
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: people kind of racked on him for the last few years,

540
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: but he's still fantastic and he's now hitting well again too,

541
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: just making it all look worth it.

542
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: But god, I was so annoying watching that game. I

543
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: was like, Mark Viano's couldn't be like even just a

544
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: little bit faster. He was moving so slow. Not his game, No, no,

545
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean like it's it's just like you said, this

546
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: team finds new ways to lose every single night, and

547
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: it's just getting so exhausting. It's so exhausting to watch

548
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: this team play. And I don't blame anybody who doesn't,

549
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: but I do appreciate everybody who still comes and listens

550
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: and watches us, because Uhia.

551
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: And else, we have to talk about these games before

552
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: we start making fun of media people. Sean Manyah, Yeah,

553
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 2: Manaiah look good on Sunday. Manaiah, He's crazy. He has

554
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: a three point one sixty RA this year. This como

555
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: floated that he like looks like a potential All Star bid,

556
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: which is gonna be so sad to watch him and

557
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 2: I get the Mets.

558
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: On the All Star bid. Is he gonna get the

559
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: Taiwan Walker bid?

560
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: He's I'm saying he's gonna get the sad bid, like

561
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: he's gonna be like the Royals from two thousand and

562
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: five and the Mets from twenty twenty twenty twenty four.

563
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: Coach Shaper that the sad bids.

564
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: But Mike Sweeny got those bids forever, for like four

565
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: good years he had in the late nineties two thousands.

566
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: But it's just he got ten swings and misses his

567
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: two seamer and like I've talked about Night's two seamer

568
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: a little bit. I think it could have been savant

569
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: miss marking two seamers and four seamers, or I haven't

570
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: heard him talk if he like made a switch. But

571
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: about seven starts ago he started only like it started

572
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: only registering two seamers on SAVAN and the ten swings

573
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 2: and misses are the most swings and miss he's had

574
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: in that pitch in any game this year, and that

575
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: two seamer, based on Baseball Savan's run value is one

576
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: of the most effectsive pitches in all Baseball's top ten

577
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: pitch in the whole sport for a starter, So whatever

578
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: he's doing is really working. The sweeper looks like he's

579
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: a little more by down to two recently, and Night

580
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: is one of the guys in his team that keeps

581
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: the vibes very high. Really good start, really really really

582
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: good start for him. He's just been nice steadying force

583
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: in the rotation like a lot of the other guys have.

584
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter when all this other.

585
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: Shit goes bad. Yeah, imagine if you said Shrum and

586
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: I had a three one era and Luisa Verno is

587
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: like a two ERA, he'd be like, oh the mess

588
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: and Mets are winning the National Leagueese, No, the Mets

589
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: are ten games under five hundred.

590
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: Oh god, but that's I mean, I don't know Sunday

591
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: other fun things from Sunday. I think McNeil had a

592
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 2: nice double. He just keeps like kind of hanging doun

593
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: this meriandering area, trying to get it we had not

594
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: watched from Jordan that Jeff is still using the same

595
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: bat that was comment coming here in a second.

596
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: It's deep in my Twitter. It's bad podcasting. This is like,

597
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: it's not I'm still hungover from Saturday. It was just

598
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: a long day. It's just pain right now.

599
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: Jeff one of the rights when he started with left

600
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: his way out good at bath from shore than Okay,

601
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 2: so he's now using a much shorter, a much longer bat.

602
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: But that's nobless. It's like kind of it looks like

603
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: a plank of what that Jeff, Well, that's kind of

604
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: what he told us when we interviewed. To remember, like

605
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the bat, like he used

606
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: such a weird bag. He's like, yeah, I like a

607
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: longer bat and like get rid of the knob and

608
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Yeah, the one the right is when

609
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: he started with this year, and it was just more

610
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: like a standard bat and it had like a diagonal

611
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: knob on it. It's kind of it's almost like I'll

612
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: put this in the video of YouTube. It's stark to

613
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: see these two bats next to each other. It's kind

614
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: of ridiculous, but it's okay by him.

615
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: And again just like a game where the Mets is like,

616
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: really couldn't hit and it was logan, why but he's

617
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 2: like one of the best pitchers in baseball. But he

618
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: hit the ball hard a lot and just kept finding gloves.

619
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: Just get frustrating game for that. You just had a

620
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: couple of good at bats. Also, I've forgotten Saturday I

621
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: mentioned how bad Cebe Buckner was behind the play.

622
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: He was, Yeah, bismalal hiring this weekend. It was such

623
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: a bad moment too. You had bad this weekend.

624
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: Him and uh Mendoz were really drawing at each other

625
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: from the dug out within the mound visit where they

626
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 2: left Severino in to get the last out of I

627
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: think it was the seventh inning and sebe Buckner was

628
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: coming out to break up the mountain visit and when

629
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: Carls Mendoza saw him coming out, he turned and went

630
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: back to the dugout so fast.

631
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: It was not in ber it was. It was a

632
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: funny moment.

633
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: But again, there's another series where you could live on

634
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: two out of three. You even had probably now that

635
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: chance to sweep this team. Yeah, I also get just

636
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: mentioned Sunday, britt Baby had a walk and he hit

637
00:24:58,560 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: the ball one hundred twelve miles.

638
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: An hour on the ground.

639
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 2: But he's like, there's just like I tink having these

640
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: two guys on the team together is kind of going

641
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 2: to do something to both of them.

642
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: They're also friends, which is cool.

643
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: And then Alvarez tried to do the Jalen Bruns and

644
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: celebration just but like two hands on his face, which

645
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: was really funny.

646
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: Protectly Son a gay. You bet all costs.

647
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 2: I can't wait to get back in the field. And yeah,

648
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: just thank thank god they won a game. Thank god

649
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: wasn't a sweet thank god, this is not six game

650
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: losing streak. They always find ways to win on Sunday.

651
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: They keep finding ways to walk it off at home.

652
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: But this team keeps sinking lower and lower. The Braves

653
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: keep winning, the Phillies keep winning, the National League Central

654
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: keeps winning games. You've now lost four out of six

655
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: games the Giants this year, Who's now firmly gonna be

656
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: heavy in the wildcard race? Like still trying to keep

657
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: that in our perspective because it's still middle of May,

658
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 2: and we're not going to say the season is over

659
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: yet because there's too much time for it to be over.

660
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: I think right now the Mets of like the same

661
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 2: records of twenty twenty two Phillies through about the same

662
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: amount of the season. So that's something that if we

663
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: can all hang our hats on, there's a long way

664
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: to go, and this team finds new horrible ways to lose,

665
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: but they all seem relatively.

666
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: Fixable, so just fix them. I can't find them. But

667
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: someone left on our last video about Francisco Alvarez vibes

668
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: and like I think we talked about like there is

669
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: no raw rod leader, and they were like, it's Francisco Alvarez.

670
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: And while I don't necessarily agree with that just yet

671
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: because he is twenty two, twenty one years old, whatever

672
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: he is, there is just a weird correlation between the

673
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: time that Francisco Alvarez got hurt and how poorly the

674
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: Bets have been playing since then. It's not untrue, and

675
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: he has a catalyst of vibes.

676
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: And we talked about this in the off season a lot,

677
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: where it's like, when you want to have a good

678
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: team that beats expectations, it's good to have some youth

679
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: mixed with some veterans because the youth will bring some energy.

680
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: The veterans won't really be able to bring as much, and.

681
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: Alfarez is that baby is ad Vanto says that they

682
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: just have to beat that a little more. But I

683
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: also saw a tweet in the Mets community which is

684
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: so hilarious. It's such a combination of like cesspool versus

685
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: just chaos. Yeah, and someone did like a montage of

686
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 2: like Ryan Maracio, like I miss him, and people are like, oh,

687
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: if only we had Rhyan Reso, Ryan Risio he had

688
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 2: He's I think he's a really exciting player and he's

689
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: really toolsy, but he like had not very good stash Solawist.

690
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone knows that, but yeah, I would

691
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: like to have him back to this team. Think would

692
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 2: have been a lot better the first month to have

693
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 2: the season with him. But just so funny that like

694
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: the narratives that US Mets fans build about players we like,

695
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: fors players we don't like.

696
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into media marvels. And I've had

697
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: enough talking about this team. Let's get to what the

698
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: people want to listen to us making fun of media people. So,

699
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: James or do you want to start this one off?

700
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: Do we want to we want to take blame for

701
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: our ourselves first. We definitely have to start with ourselves. Yeah, okay,

702
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: hand up. We made a lame tweet, but we knew

703
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: get interaction, we knew get posts I made. I made

704
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: this tweet originally on Mets up, and I think we

705
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: used it word for word right, like it only took

706
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: away was was an emoji at the end? Okay, yeah,

707
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: because no more emojis on Twitter. But on August eighth,

708
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, I tweet out from the mess Up

709
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: podcast Mets need a Terry Collins pep talk badly. This

710
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: post game rent was legendary, and James took it, put

711
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: the same video with the same tweet and tweeted it

712
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: three years later and it did well again. And it

713
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: was just like it was free engagement. It was an

714
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: easy way gained just what like thirty forty followers, you said,

715
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: But hey, up media, Marvel, we knew what we were doing.

716
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: We were feeding to all the Annie mobs.

717
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, like I'm I'm on the record, I

718
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 2: thought Terry Collins was objectively a horrible manager. Terrible vibes though, Yeah, sure,

719
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: great vibes. Also, like, it's just funny that that rant

720
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: did coincide with both the Mets going on a nice

721
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: run to make the playoffs this season, and also you

722
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: want assessment it's coming back off the IL. A few

723
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: days later, I think it was a famous quote for

724
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: I want to say Billy Martin if I can't remember

725
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: right now, that he said, if you're ever gonna have

726
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: like a big meeting like a play you could throw

727
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: a chair like players only meetings, like make sure Ace

728
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: is pitching the next day. It's like that that's kind

729
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 2: of the best thing about like doing shit like that,

730
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 2: where it's like you have to just be like, here, gay,

731
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: we're gonna do something crazy.

732
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Oh I know, actually for really a good chance to

733
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: win the next game. But hand up on us, Like

734
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: we fed.

735
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: The toxicity again a little bit intentionally because we also

736
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: were just like we we know that Mets people are

737
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: pissed right now, and we know that this tweet for

738
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: no reasons is gonna get a bunch of engagement, and

739
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people called us out. So good on

740
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 2: you guys for calling us out, because we deserved it.

741
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: But we we took a calculated measure and we were like,

742
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: fuck it, let's just let's just feed in because we

743
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: have a lot of fun on social media these days.

744
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 1: I had a great week here.

745
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: I made I made some funny tiktoks that Sidney Sweeney

746
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: videos up to like twenty five thousand views.

747
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

748
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: On Instagram, I made like I did like a little

749
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: voiceover pretending I was like talking in the shower, which

750
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: she's like smiling and crying in the mirror. It's like

751
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: a meme going around TikTok Instagram reels right now.

752
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: But it's just fun.

753
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: I think we're up to like eleven million impressions on

754
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: Twitter since the season started, too, which is insane to

755
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: think about a couple hundred followers.

756
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: But it's a lot of fun.

757
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: And again that fact that we can like push the

758
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: limits again with it. I love seeing where that can go.

759
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think someone even commented on our last episode

760
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: They're like, it's pretty funny. I wonder what this podcast

761
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: episode would sound like if you guys are still affiliated

762
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: with the team. I feel like it might be a

763
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: little bit different tone. And it was like, I mean, yeah,

764
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: no kidding you yourself. You've been so whiny recently. You've

765
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: been such a little sour pus. It's pain so so yeah,

766
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: but like crazy because I this is this is all

767
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: I have and they're playing so bad and I'm so

768
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: tired of it, and I like we had like last

769
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: year was such a wash where I have a year

770
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: and a half worth of negativity I need to get out.

771
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: So you just gotta bear with me every once in

772
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: a while because like it's I just need some diary

773
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: out of my mouth every once in a while to

774
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: get it out.

775
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: Okay, So here's a funny one. You said, this team's

776
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: your everything. This is a question I've asked a lot

777
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: of like friends. I think we've had a conversation before,

778
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: but I want to just pose on the podcast. Maybe

779
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: like you guys can chime in with stuff. Let's say

780
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: you have one hundred points and you have to push

781
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: those around to all the sports teams that you like.

782
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: This includes college affiliation. Okay, how many points would you

783
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: give each of your teams? I'd give the Mets eighty

784
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: five of the hundred of the hundred, that's crazy, I'd

785
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: give them Mets eighty five of one hundred. That one.

786
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: That's like if, if, and when the Mets ever win

787
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: the World Series, it's like I'm gonna I might pass out.

788
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: I might not i might wake up like a week later,

789
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: like what's just happened? Like I'm gonna have an out

790
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: of body experience. I'm gonna be watching myself. But I

791
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: would go, like Mets eighty five, I would go Nicks eight.

792
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: I'd go Game Cocks. And I think that leaves two

793
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: percent between the Commanders and the Rangers, and I think

794
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: that's about right. That's funny. I gave them.

795
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: I give thirty five points each to the Mets in

796
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: Ohio State, and then I gave the Knicks I think thirteen,

797
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: the Rangers twelve, and the Jets five.

798
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean makes sense. I listened to the

799
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: Mets have been around a lot longer than the game

800
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Cocks have for me, and the game Cocks also give

801
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: me fucking nothing. So I can't that team either. I

802
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: got spoiled Ohio six, like my freshman year, they want

803
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: a championships. No, you got spoiled. And I've never felt

804
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: anything like that in my life. So I was like,

805
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: oh my god, I have never seen a team of

806
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: mine win a championship in any sport ever. Think about that.

807
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: Twenty eight years, every single sport I ever watch, and

808
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: the teams that you really like the only team you've

809
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: ever seen in the championship is the Mets. Yeah yeah,

810
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: literally No.

811
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: I like the Rangers a lot too, but that definitely

812
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: doesn't compair to what I think about the Mets and

813
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: seeing them. Also, the Rangers lost like the worst Stanley

814
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: Cup ever. Moving a great, great weekend for the Range grade. Yeah,

815
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: so again, shame on us. But we've had a lot

816
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: more fun social media, and it's like even being Negget

817
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: in these podcasts sometimes a lot of fun. But next

818
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: thing I want to talk about something that was that

819
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: was this was the eye opening spot for me where

820
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, I might have to change.

821
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: My redoric a little bit. I had to tweet on

822
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: Saturday that.

823
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: I was just all the same things I said in

824
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: the first like ten minutes this podcast, how pissed I

825
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: was about the edwind D situation. I thought, I think

826
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: the Mets have fucked it up, but I don't know

827
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: where they're gonna go from here. I didn't like to

828
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: use them the back to back days. I didn't like

829
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: the publicer moving from the closer, gave him six days

830
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: off and immediately put him back in the closer again.

831
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: We didn't even have that great as an inning. I

832
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: didn't like that all.

833
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: I listed that out and I said they botched it

834
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: and I said they basically failed him, and I was

835
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: out the whole day. I literally tweeted it and then

836
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: I left my house. I got on a city bike,

837
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: I went to a show.

838
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: I danced.

839
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: I partied for hours, and I was getting food afterwards,

840
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: like five hours, literally not on my phone for five hours.

841
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I was tweeted pretty well.

842
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: But then I was looking scrolling through like the responses

843
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: and the mentions, like getting back to people, and I

844
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: was like, why are these people were applying to me?

845
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: And this other account and Jay Tank whatever number bullshit,

846
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my god. And I look

847
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: at the tweet interactions, the engagements and fucking Frank the

848
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: Tank retweeted me and I got I was so upset.

849
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: Like I was with instantly.

850
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: I was one of my friends who was a Mets fan.

851
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm I'm finished, like I'm done, Like

852
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: I can't come back from this. I haven't tweeted about

853
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: baseball since I don't know what to say. I've lost

854
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: my whole Brhethorick, I've lost my whole. I've lost my

855
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: whole narrative.

856
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I don't I don't

857
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: you hate. I have no idea, I don't even know.

858
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: It's horrible. It makes me so pissed off because, like,

859
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: what's worse if you look down and see that Frank

860
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: the Tank retweeted one of your tweets or the text

861
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: from a girl being like we need to talk easily,

862
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: Frank the Tank retweeting on them. Wow, Okay, it's not

863
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: even it's not even remotely closed.

864
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: Like if I get that you need to talk from

865
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: a girl, like, it's probably a bad thing, but like,

866
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: you know what, there's like millions of others in the world.

867
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: Oh there girls. Frank the Tank is one of a kind.

868
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: It's a black mark. That's now. I'm me. I don't

869
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: know how to get rid of it. He's only replied

870
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: to me negatively, So I mean, you say, I've been

871
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: in the little Whiny Bitch recently. I haven't gotten the

872
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: read yet. I gotta retweet it. He was like, this

873
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: is good enough for me to put on my own feed.

874
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: That's horrible.

875
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: This guy's like the one of the worst sports fans

876
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: on earth. And the fact that he they thought that

877
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 2: something I said was good enough to broadcast himself. Makes

878
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 2: a tough die, all right.

879
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: Off of him? Now, off of him. Now let's talk

880
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: about a professional hater, and we've we've talked about Busterrolney.

881
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: It's the reason we started media marvels. He's the worst.

882
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: Obviously he hates the Mets, but I gotta tip my

883
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: cap to Buster Rolney today he just did some of

884
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: the best professional hating that has ever happened. Shout out

885
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: Meek Phil Mets community legend. Of course, he's like he

886
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: found that. Buster only retweeted a two week old tweet

887
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: from some dude named Moses Messina who says Mets have

888
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: not won a game when they were wearing an alternate

889
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: jersey this season on one in Blue Own two and

890
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: black owned Foreign City Connect not anymore. BUSTERROLI, fuck you.

891
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: We won a game in the Blues, you idiot. So

892
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: that's actually kind of incredible timing that the Mets won

893
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: after Buster only did that retweet.

894
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: But he did that retweet I think Friday afternoon and

895
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 2: Friday lost in alternates, and Saturday they lost again this connect.

896
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: So the Mets new horrible black jerseys and still you

897
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: have to win a game. Also shout out them, shout

898
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: out Kay Morris, Mets prospect beast right now working through

899
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: the system. We did them with an Instagram post a

900
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: few weeks ago, like like this we missed the old

901
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 2: black jerseys.

902
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: He liked it. These new ones are terrible, but us

903
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: roll only professional hater. Sometimes you tip your cap. I'll

904
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: tip my cap on that one there to just hate

905
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: the Mets like that. No, it's honestly good at now,

906
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: like it's such a thing that he's going to keep

907
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: leaning into and keep doing it. So again, respect, I

908
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: hate him. I think he's a loser. He wears Harry

909
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: Potter glasses and he looks like a like a dwarf.

910
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: But again, good good work by him. And now another

911
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: medium marble. A lot of media marbles week. So many

912
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: people really did some crazy shit this week.

913
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 2: So there was a really funny meme that went around

914
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: on Friday by ad Joseph Payne twelve and it was

915
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: in the Mets community, and it was like a little

916
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: funny meme format that goes around sometimes where it's like

917
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 2: these little smiley faces with thumbs up and pointing out

918
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: you're trying to be positive. Don't let anybody ruin your day.

919
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 2: It's your day ruin yourself by watching Mets baseball. And

920
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 2: this went up on May twenty fourth at one o'clock PM.

921
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: Exactly love when love when the time is perfect good.

922
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: It makes me OCD feel nice. And then that evening

923
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: at nine to twenty eight PM, as Riguarrett blew the

924
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: save metsmerized a Mets blog. I think it's run by

925
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: Joe d maybe not him anymore. I think I know

926
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: Michael Mayer is the guy there still. But they posted,

927
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: they took the same meme. They changed around some of

928
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 2: the stuff a little bit. They changed the font and

929
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: they put a different graphic on there, like it's just

930
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 2: a Mets logo in the corner, but kept the exact

931
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: same format. They posted the exact same meme and they

932
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 2: gave no attribution, nothing at all. And I'm sure there's

933
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 2: probably just someone who works in their social media department.

934
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 2: Their social media department has been good this year, but

935
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: I think that it's been for a while. And I'll

936
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: always appreciate metsmurrize, like they gave me a good opportunity

937
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: years ago to write Mets baseball, Like I remember I

938
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 2: just wrote. I think it was like a tweet or

939
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 2: I wrote the prospect article of Time for a fancy

940
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: blog and like Mike Mayris, so my DMS immediately and

941
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: he was like, you going right for a site?

942
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I wrote some good stuff for them,

943
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: but it's.

944
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: Just ironic because like our old friend Jenny Met like

945
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: they were the ones who were always beaten down the

946
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 2: door that he was stealing content and he was doing bullshit.

947
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: And then in a one day they literally took a

948
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 2: meme word for word by just some random dude on

949
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: Twitter in the Mets community and posted it as their

950
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: own and like got seventy five thousand impressions and fourteen

951
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: hundred likes for it. It's just like, come on, guys,

952
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: like this this was your thing, stealing content like it's

953
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: an introuting twist.

954
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. I thought that was just so bizarre.

955
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: And then another one that's funny, not funny, shitty Anthey Tacoma.

956
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: We gave Anthony Tacomo shit a few years ago when

957
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 2: Patrick Bailey had to pick him off the Mets and

958
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: he said, somebody named Patrick Bailey, it was last year,

959
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: just did this again. Patrick Bailey was an incredible college

960
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: baseball player. He was an early first round pick. He

961
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: came up as a highly regarded prospect. He's incredible on defense,

962
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: and he has great tools. Now he's turned to a

963
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: very good baseball player. And he doubled down on Friday

964
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 2: night the same bad joke that he looked like an

965
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 2: asshole for, and he was like, Oh, this will be

966
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 2: so great, let me do this one again. It's like,

967
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: what it looks bad on you, anthey Tacomo, that you

968
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: don't know who Patrick Bailey is. You're a nationally syndicate

969
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: baseball report that you right, literally for MLB dot com.

970
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 2: Like that's insane to not know who a high level

971
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 2: prospect is who was in the draft like four years

972
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: ago for a team in your own league.

973
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: And also like, let's just pretend you didn't even know

974
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: the draft right some guy named Patrick Bailey As a reporter,

975
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: you should probably just be doing the research even before

976
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: the series starts of like, hey, let me let me

977
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: look into these guys. Let's see if there's anything interesting.

978
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm a reporter, I might have an interesting story to

979
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: report on. And to not realize who Patrick Bailey is insane.

980
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, he doubled down on it again with somebody

981
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: named Patrick Bailey just hit a go ahead grand slam.

982
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Someone replied saying nice throwback, and he said, I'm sure

983
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: I'll get skewered from people who won't get it. No,

984
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: I think the people who do get it will also

985
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: make this is a stupid fucking joke. This is lame, dude.

986
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, has nothing to do with people not getting it,

987
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: Like we get that you did this last year.

988
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: Oh my guy. Everyone's glued into the Antidacomo tweets like

989
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: what a legend he is. Maybe I face told him

990
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: to do it.

991
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably who it was, mister content over there

992
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 2: and the cent why. But that's that's the end of

993
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: the media marvels in the Mets world. And there were

994
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: two other funny things just to mention things that lose

995
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: relates to the Mets. One Tommy fam legend old friend.

996
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 2: I would do anything to have him on this God

997
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: kill so he Craig Kimberll nailed down to save on

998
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: Saturday or Friday Apple TV game. Coln Kows are amazing

999
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: playing center fields to rob the home run. Colin kows

1000
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 2: a really good year. Yeah, coming together as all these

1001
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: young oriol seem to be at the same time. And

1002
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: someone quotes tweeted the video said that look on Tommy

1003
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: FAM's face is priceless. Tommy Fam, as he loves to do,

1004
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 2: replies to this random person on Twitter. I care more

1005
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: about the fact than how I'm squaring up balls consistently

1006
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: and they're only one hundred, one hundred five miles now

1007
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: off the bat when last year there was a five

1008
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: to seven mile an hour differences on the average.

1009
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: And I was like, hell, yeah, Tommy Fam, the balls

1010
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: might be different this year.

1011
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: And I love the fact that he's like so keyed

1012
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: in with all of these things and he's like, I'm

1013
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: hitting well, I should be hitting fucking better.

1014
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, Tommy FAM's the man. He tells it like

1015
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: it is. He holds no punches. Definitely didn't hold back there. Ooh,

1016
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: I had one more thing I wanted to talk about too,

1017
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: though we didn't mention the Mets playing. Don't stop believing

1018
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse before the game. Mike Puma legend Mike Puma,

1019
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: that dude is like the ping of ice s cream.

1020
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: He tweeted out for context, Mike Puma just pounds ice

1021
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: cream in the media, in the media cafeteria, like ten

1022
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: ten thirty at night. Ten thirty in the morning. If

1023
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: you see Mike Puma, he's got a cup full of

1024
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: mister Softy and he's got the swirl. He's rocking it.

1025
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 2: I will say one of the best parks about all

1026
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: of that stuff we did the last few years was

1027
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: free ice cream in the media cafe I have. I

1028
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: have a dairy a version, and I was seeing that

1029
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: ice cream like three or four times a week. I

1030
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: would my sister would come to games, like my cousins

1031
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 2: or friends or anything. I'm like, that's why ice cream

1032
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 2: be Like, all right, I got you what. I would

1033
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: go in there like ice cream and bring it out

1034
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: to them for ice cream. You can't stop free ice cream.

1035
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: But shoutout Kim, Shout out Kim. Kim is one of

1036
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: the great people I've ever known in my life. But

1037
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: I can't believe that I did that.

1038
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: Like, that's that's corny corn It's like the worst song ever.

1039
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: Who do you whose idea was it? If you if

1040
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: you had to pick someone in the locker room, who

1041
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: do you think is playing? Don't stop believing. I have

1042
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: my pick either Petere or Nemo. Pete was my pick, Yeah,

1043
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: for sure, Pete. And again the like that I love bros. Boys, Dude,

1044
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 1: I got the perfect song to throw in the ox.

1045
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna change things. We're gonna change this around. And

1046
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: then like it's like just as well dun Girl and

1047
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: Pete's like live in and he's just he goes into it,

1048
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, Pete's singing and like he's just jamming the

1049
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: air guitar. It's ever.

1050
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: I bet I bet they still had good vibes from them.

1051
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 2: I still brought them together and they did win the game.

1052
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 2: Like if we're gonna win, if we're gonna throw up

1053
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 2: the Terry Collins speech, like they just like those couple

1054
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: even tomorrow. Again, it's true, it's true might as well.

1055
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,479
Speaker 2: And then the last thing I want to talk about here.

1056
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: This doesn't really mean Edy One's new song. Oh god, don't.

1057
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna do the trump I

1058
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: don't know what they canna do about the trumpets. But

1059
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: really funny posts in New York metsa rd of the

1060
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 2: group subredded so from rather from Twitter account Rachel Millen

1061
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: and the DA There is arrow something it's cut off

1062
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 2: in the tweet, but this person apparently has been tweeting

1063
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: about the mess not having ice coffee in the stadium,

1064
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 2: and she had update on ice coffee at City Field.

1065
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: There's a long one, you guys, bear with me, it's

1066
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: very funny.

1067
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: So some of you probably know.

1068
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: I made the post about a week ago to bring

1069
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 2: attention to the fact that there's no ice coffee available

1070
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 2: at City Field. This has been a problem that has

1071
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 2: bothered me for a couple of years, and I was

1072
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 2: happy to see this. Some of you caffeine addicts feel

1073
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 2: the same way. But something that made me even anger

1074
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: was brought to my attention. Vinita Kid pointed out that

1075
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: that's a reddit named Vinita Kid. I love Reddit pointed

1076
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 2: out that there is actually ice coffee in the Delta

1077
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 2: Sky Club. Now, I'm a man of simple means and

1078
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 2: have never been able toward four seats in that area,

1079
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 2: but I had to see if this claim was true.

1080
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: Last weekend, I got tickets in Section thirteen and lo

1081
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 2: and behold, there is ice coffee and Delta Sky Club.

1082
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 2: Some of you might be thinking, Okay, bang, problem solved,

1083
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: there's ice coffee in City Field. Well you are wrong,

1084
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 2: my friends. How can we sit back? Well, the Mets

1085
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 2: cater to only the elite of the field level, not

1086
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: deserve ice coffee. Do my fellow promenade fans not deserve

1087
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: to feel that sweet, cooling caffeine boost as well. I

1088
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: am personally even more upset now than when I thought

1089
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: the stadium had no ice coffee at all. Now I

1090
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: know it's in the building. I know that they've been

1091
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: keeping it from us. They have the infrastructure to make it,

1092
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 2: but refuse to make it available to the masses. This

1093
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 2: is a disgrace, and I will not rest until there

1094
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: is ice coffee for everyone. I promise you, coffee lovers,

1095
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: that there will be a will come a day when

1096
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: you can sit in Section five or five as the

1097
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 2: sun beats down on you in a hot summer's day,

1098
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: You'll be able to feel the cool, relaxing sensation of

1099
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: a nice coffee in your hands and smile on your face.

1100
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: This I promise. I swear. This is Larry David. This

1101
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: feels like we need to stand against Moka Joe.

1102
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: This is incredible. It's also like it is kind of

1103
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 2: I think a endemic. I think the mets Kin starts

1104
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 2: to carry the elites a little bit more like luxury sweets,

1105
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 2: Cadillac Club, all this fancy shit. Forty dollars burger with lobster.

1106
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 2: We all, we've been saying that all year, but we do.

1107
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: We're doing a lot bitching. We gotta stop. But such

1108
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: a funny tweet. And the Mets subreddit is so good.

1109
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 2: There's so much good content there on daily basis. Recommend

1110
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 2: everybody gets in there.

1111
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: Shout out to Reddit. Uh never really used Reddit. One

1112
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: of the weird things. I just never got into too

1113
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: much reading. I think, yeah, you're not the reader. You can't.

1114
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: It's a it's a forum. I'm not. I'm not a

1115
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: message board guy. It's Twitter. It's Twitter adjacent, just a

1116
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: little whackier. It looks worse. It looks bad. It's not

1117
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: it's not a clean look. Yeah, fuck it.

1118
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 2: Look it's got funny stuff on there. But here we

1119
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 2: go Mets and that new series starting on Monday against

1120
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,479
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers. We had this is the middle

1121
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: of a ten game homestand versust most of the teams

1122
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: in the NL West. It's yeah, we've got some matchups here.

1123
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: There is there's one ace off I'll tell you in

1124
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 2: this series. So Monday not an ASoft but Tyler McGill

1125
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: versus Gavin Stone good test for McGill to see if

1126
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: he can keep using that splithers you can keep coming

1127
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 2: out of at Monday four o'clock Memorial Day viewing. Tuesday,

1128
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: this is the ace off TBS game, National Game Jose

1129
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: Katana versus Tyler Glasstown ace off and as off, and

1130
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 2: then Wednesday the return of David Peterson versus James Paxton. Statistically,

1131
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, because tistically, James packs one of

1132
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 2: the worst pitchers in baseball so far this season.

1133
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: The jinks the jinx is over. If we're if we're

1134
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: the problem. Man, we we've got too much power, right,

1135
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 1: which we knew this years ago. I would have never

1136
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: said anything, but yeah, James Paxson, I think is walking

1137
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: more than he's striking out correct exactly even Okay, so

1138
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: three to five somehow the Dodgers effect the Dodgers are different,

1139
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: and I think his sierra is like six and he

1140
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: has like five or six wins.

1141
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: So it's bizarre, this bizarre situation for James Paxton. But

1142
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 2: I digress. I don't know what it's gonna happen in

1143
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: this series. I think this could be a situation where

1144
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna to try to be positive it's gonna

1145
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 2: be a doctor Jacko, mister Hyde, because you've been such

1146
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: a little pussy bitch recently, find Adam like, as this

1147
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: team plays poorly, suddenly maybe you could just win a

1148
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 2: couple games in the Dodgers. We haven't won a series

1149
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: since May seventh. It's been almost twenty days as of Monday,

1150
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 2: when you guys listen to since the Mets won a series.

1151
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 2: Really painful there. That was the day we recorded the

1152
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 2: grades for the Mets and the Cory season, and they've

1153
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: all grated since then.

1154
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: The shout out the content guys over here. But it's interesting.

1155
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: It's an interesting game.

1156
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 2: We saw Gavin Stone last time, we saw Tyler glasnow

1157
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 2: last time, and we're getting packs instead of Yamo. Though

1158
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 2: we played this Dodgers team a month ago, not a

1159
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 2: ton has changed, besides the fact they've sent down James

1160
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 2: Autman who was having a real struggle, to bring up

1161
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: micgil Vargus, who has not played great sparingly since he

1162
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: came back up. Jason Hayward's back in his team. Once

1163
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: upon a time he was a met rival in the

1164
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 2: nleast like twelve years ago, and somehow he's still bothering

1165
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 2: around still just like playing okay baseball for the Giants

1166
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: team glassdowse sensational.

1167
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: He looks so so fucking good, and I mean it's

1168
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: show Heyo TODDI. I know we were saying, like, don't

1169
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: buy Mets tickets because they stink, but like, if there's

1170
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: ever one go watch show Heyo Toni and Mooki Betts

1171
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: play like you're watching two of the best players to

1172
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: ever do it, go out there on the field, play

1173
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: every single day. If you're looking at this lineup, Will

1174
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: Smith ops plus one thirty eight, Frederic Freeman won thirty eight,

1175
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts won seventy eight. They Oscar Hernandez one twenty eight.

1176
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: Show Heo Tani won ninety show Heo Tony might become

1177
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: the first ever only DH to win the MVP unanimously

1178
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: or even just win the MVP. He's playing out of

1179
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: control right now. If he keeps us up, he's on

1180
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: pace for like a I think he might be on

1181
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: pace for like a forty or a thirty thirty season. Uh,

1182
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: He's pretty unbelievable. He's just he's worth the watch.

1183
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think also the Dodgers are probably not

1184
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 2: playing up to most people's expectations so far this season.

1185
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: I want to say, like they're also yes, but like

1186
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: thirty three and twenty one, I don't know, Like what

1187
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: else can you really they lost today? Oh okay, they

1188
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: lost to say so thirty three and twenty two. I

1189
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: don't know you strapolate that over a full year, you're

1190
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: like thirty games over five hundred. No, sure, but they're

1191
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: they're gonna.

1192
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to say this is the

1193
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 2: one thing I did want to avoid, but they're coming

1194
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: into the field of being swept by the Reds and

1195
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 2: losing their last series before too. They are in a

1196
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: five game losing streak, and I think they probably struggled

1197
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: a tiny bit more pitching depth and they thought they

1198
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 2: would this year.

1199
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: Were missing Walker Buler again.

1200
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: He's been pretty uneven since coming back from his second

1201
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: time with John surgery, which thinks, and I really think

1202
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: the Dodgers kind of miscalculated the short top position because

1203
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: they're just playing thirty one year old Moogie Bets out

1204
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: there like the probably the Quinn's most important player on

1205
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 2: their team, because again, Otani's incredible, but he's DH the

1206
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: end of the day and Mookie's amazing.

1207
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: Both sides of the ball.

1208
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: But he's not amazing a short stop because you wouldn't

1209
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: believe that he's not a shortstop crazy and he has

1210
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: like one of some of the worst short stop defensive

1211
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: metrics in all baseball. So I think that was again

1212
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 2: a massive miscalculation by the Dodgers team to head into

1213
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 2: the season literally without a shortstop on the forty man roster.

1214
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: Strange, strange move and arguably the most important position in baseball. Yes,

1215
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 1: and the Bomb of the world is not giving them

1216
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: very much at all. Gavin Loucks has been another massive disappointment. Really,

1217
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's gonna get aig hit the series guy.

1218
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: I said that Andy Paijes, who just came up and

1219
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: the mess played them last time a month ago. He's

1220
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: kind of gone downhill just by still looking really good

1221
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: under the surface. Even Freddie Freeman, now at like a

1222
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty five years old, finally looks a

1223
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: little bit more for the first time his entire career.

1224
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: The big thing that they did that's really changed their season,

1225
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: apart from Yamodo like still being quite good, is the

1226
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: ti Oskar Harnandez signing, which is one I would have loved.

1227
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: The Mets made a shot to go after but I'm

1228
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: not sure they would have been able to develop them

1229
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: the same way the Dodgers did because he is chasing

1230
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: signific lesson he ever has in his career. He's walking

1231
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: more than he ever has his career. He's been one

1232
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: of the best run producers in all of baseball through

1233
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: the early going of the season. So shout out to

1234
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: Dodgers for adding when people didn't think they needed to

1235
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: be adding. And he's been kind of an inch pan

1236
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: and helped them win a lot of games. Yeah, be

1237
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: an interview series. Mets took the series for them in La.

1238
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: Maybe those surprises and take one out in city Field.

1239
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 2: Also funny one to two former Mets watches for the

1240
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 2: series to Legends, Johann Ramirez an Anthony Banda, both actively

1241
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 2: in the Dodgers' ballpen.

1242
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: Both pitched on side. Wow. Remember when he got the no,

1243
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: he didn't get the say he had to win in Cincinnati. Yeah,

1244
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: against the Reds in that chaos extra inning game, Kevin

1245
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: Pillar or Luiski or made nonsense. But yeah, guys, shorter episode,

1246
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: not much to talk about. It was a bad, bad
