1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: None of us want Monday. Nobody wants Monday on either team,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: either podcast, either fan base. No one wants to deal

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: with Monday, basically, and you know it may not be

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Winner Take All by then, Welcome to a crossover edition

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: of a podcast featuring Hammer Territory and metst up you

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: would imagine in the middle of a big time playoff

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: atmosphere kind of series. Half of this podcast is happy.

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Half of this podcast is not as happy. That was

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: gonna be the way it went, no matter what the

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: result was on this Tuesday evening with the Brims gonna

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: five to one win. My name is Brad Roland. I

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: am part of Hammer Territory alongside Steven Tolbert. Hello Steven,

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: we talk all the time.

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: How are you, Brad? How's it going?

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm good? And the messed up guys are here, Mark

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: and James.

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 4: I mean I was really hoping this is going to

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 4: be a little bit different, different of a post game

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 4: reaction coming from us, but you guys really handed it

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 4: to us. It was not a good game by the

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: Mets in almost any facet of it, and that.

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 3: Was That's a tough way to start the series.

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: With the context that we have of the Mets and

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: the Braves late in September didn't love that.

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like gu I said, you figured to be something,

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 5: Marcus said, figured to be something different. But the worst

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 5: part about every Mets fan watching this game is that

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 5: this feels like very much more of the same. And

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 5: now I think that those feelings were a little bit

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 5: pervasive before this game, but every Mets fan was like, no,

32
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 5: this is different. We don't want to think those thoughts again.

33
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 5: And now because of the way this game started, because

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 5: of the way this game ended, that is the front

35
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 5: of mind. I can speak for basic every single Mets

36
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 5: fan right now. That's all I can think about. I'm

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 5: sure it's all Mark and think about any Mets fan

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 5: watching this and listening to this can think about right now,

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 5: and that is a horribly unscary thought.

40
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's RECs from from the Braves perspective. You know,

41
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: all year long we've said if this team scores, they win,

42
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: and you know, they've got one of the best here

43
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: in the second best era in baseball. As a team,

44
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: they struggled all year being able to score runs, and

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: when they score, they win. And they scored five runs

46
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: tonight and you know, the pitching was outstanding like it

47
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: normally is. And it really is that simple for them.

48
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: If they score three, four or five runs in a game,

49
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: they win the game typically, and so that's the key

50
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: for them. And obviously they took care of business tonight.

51
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: On the vibe side of things, Uh, I had I

52
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: had that thought that you guys might say that about

53
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: how them this the Mets feel give given the recent history,

54
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: I will say, you know, coming in, the pressure is

55
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: all on the Braves, right the deficit is what it is.

56
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: I know that maybe it doesn't feel that way to

57
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: the Mets having been in the position they've been in

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, but they're kind of in

59
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: the driver's seat here and the Braves have to win.

60
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: The Braves have to win these games or they're just

61
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: going to be dead. That's going to be the stakes

62
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: for them. And you know, the famous adage is like

63
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: you can't make a statement and can't swep a series

64
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: unless you win game one. They won game one, but

65
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: it's still I mean, we'll get into it later, I'm sure,

66
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: but the pressure is kind of still on the Braves.

67
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: It even there's kind of a comfortable win in some

68
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: respects the Mets are still the team ahead. The Mets

69
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: are still in control of this thing to at least

70
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: some extent, even if I'm sure judge by the reaction

71
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: from Mark and James, it does not feel that way

72
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: necessarily on a Tuesday.

73
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

74
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: No, I got to give a little shot to my

75
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: cousin Ted. He we were texting during the game, and

76
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: he was saying, how this Mets team all year is

77
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 4: kind of played with house money. They've been playing a

78
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: lot loose, feels like they got nothing to lose because

79
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: there was no expectations. Tonight was the first time, at

80
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: least in my opinion and my cousins as well, where

81
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: it felt like the Mets felt the pressure. It felt

82
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: like the Mets knew they had something to lose, where

83
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: these previous games playing the Phillies and everybody else that

84
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: were doing a lot of chasing, even chasing the Braves

85
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: and the Diamondbacks and the Padres at some point, But

86
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: now this game against the Braves, it felt like things

87
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: in their brain at least for a little bit changed

88
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: where they started to feel the pressure more than they

89
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: have all year, and that is not something I was

90
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: hoping to see tonight.

91
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 5: I also think that weirdly, the Mets off day they

92
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: had yesterday on Monday killed them because this Mets team

93
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 5: haf been playing dad day after day. I think it

94
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 5: was just what like fourteenth straight days or seventeenth straight

95
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 5: days they had the game and they had to deal

96
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 5: with the Lindor injury and Stride, they had to deal

97
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: with everything happening in Stride those blown saves last weekend

98
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 5: against the Phillies and this last seven straight days of

99
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 5: City Field. It was just momentum, momentum, momentum. There was

100
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 5: no thinking. There was just playing next day at bad

101
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 5: that bad picture and now similar building off of Mark said,

102
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 5: like there was a moment of thought and like this

103
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 5: moment of like really like oh wow, we're really doing

104
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 5: it really in this spot. Maybe possibly a little bit

105
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 5: of like reading the press clippings. I know Mark and

106
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 5: I probably read the press clippings too. Oh we kind

107
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: of were some of the press clippings the other day

108
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 5: where and it's just like now the realization happens. You're like, Okay,

109
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 5: now this is like the ultimate moment. You have to

110
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 5: dig deep because Chris Sales on the mound the next game.

111
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 5: Whenever it happens and you have to basically win it

112
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 5: to secure all the good things that happened this season.

113
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the fascinating part of this series is

114
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: that we don't know when the next game is gonna

115
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: be played. I mean, there's a hurricane. There's a hurricane

116
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: coming at some point in the next two days, and

117
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: so winning game one, I mean game two might not

118
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: be till like Monday. We really we have no idea

119
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: when game two of the series is gonna be. So

120
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: getting off Turt. Winning Game one was was you know,

121
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: for the Braves, of course, it was just of massive importance.

122
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: I mean, they could not afford to lose Game one. Honestly,

123
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: it was I agree with Brad. It was way more

124
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: important of game for the Braves, probably than the Mets.

125
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: Even that side. I know they're dealing with a lot

126
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: of demons. They're dealing with twenty twenty two and all

127
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: the bad thoughts that came from that series. But just

128
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: from the standing standpoint, the Braves had to have this game.

129
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: I mean, they just they had to have this game.

130
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: I know, you guys were talking about that.

131
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: It feels like it's the pressures on the Braves and

132
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: you can see mine and James's reactions to everything that's

133
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: being said, and we're just so incredibly a ball of

134
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: stress right now.

135
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 3: Is because we felt on Sunday night.

136
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: Because it's completely gone right now, it does not feel

137
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: the same you guys, like you guys just do this

138
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: to us all the time. So do you actually feel

139
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: any pressure, because it doesn't feel like you do at all.

140
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 2: No.

141
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: I will say it's been and I know you guys

142
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: want to don't want to hear this. It's been a

143
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: very angsty Brave season, like throughout. I know they've been

144
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: in kind of decent shape the whole way, but all

145
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the injuries they've had, like it's been like nothing has

146
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: gone right for the Braves all year long. So it

147
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: may not feel like it's supposed to be angsty, but

148
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: it's been really angsty all year and coming into this

149
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: like they've been playing really well recently as well, like

150
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like they probably should be with their roster,

151
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: but they keep winning series. Then you look at the

152
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: standings and they've lost ground in the last six weeks

153
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: to the Mets and the Diamondbacks because they've been playing

154
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: so well. As you guys know, the Mets have been

155
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: so hot for so long that it Braves like Canna.

156
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: They can't seem to make up any ground. So they

157
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: kind of came in like we all know the deal here.

158
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: The Braves have to win a series, so they're going

159
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: to be going home. So yeah, there's some pressure, but

160
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: I guess once you could take a three nothing lead

161
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: and you kind of realize it's the Mets and all

162
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: the all the recent history kind of seefs in. I'm

163
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: sure maybe we had a little bit of reaction, but

164
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: I don't know about Steven. I didn't feel good about

165
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: this one until it was five nothing, and even then,

166
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: like nothing is safe in a high stress game. It's baseball.

167
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: You guys knows how this is. It's like until the

168
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: final out, no exhaling, and even then it's like, oh,

169
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: by the way, they got to do this again tomorrow.

170
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: Well maybe tomorrow, maybe doubleheader, Monday, whatever, it's gonna be,

171
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: like guys said, but no matter what happens, it's like,

172
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: all right, they got one, now they have to get

173
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the next one. Whereas the Mets kind of have a

174
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: little bit board.

175
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: I didn't sit down to watch a pitch until Jimenez

176
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: came in in the eighth inning. That was the first

177
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: time I actually sat on my couch to actually watch

178
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: a pitch. So no, I never I never felt good

179
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: about this game until it was until the game was over,

180
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: quite howso. And and in terms of like stress, it

181
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: is funny, like relative to expectations, because you know, the Mets,

182
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: I feel like the Mets are playing with house money

183
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: a little bit because no one really expected them to

184
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: win anything this year. This was always going to be

185
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: kind of a bridge year for them. You know, they

186
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: went for big and twenty three it didn't work. They

187
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: kind of you know, spun it back a little bit.

188
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: And you know, for the Braves that the expectation is

189
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: always to win a World Series, even with the injuries.

190
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: You might think with the injuries that that changes. But

191
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: like for the fan base, especially when you have the

192
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: you know, basically the number one staff in baseball and

193
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: have all year, like, the expectation is at the very

194
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: least to make the playoffs. And so yeah, I mean,

195
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: our stress level has been through the roof for most

196
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: of the season and it hasn't helped that. The Diamondbacks,

197
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: the Padres, and the Mets I've been like the three

198
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: hottest teams in baseball since the All Star break, like Brad' said,

199
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: with the Braves have been able to gain no ground

200
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: despite playing really well for about six weeks, and that's

201
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: just added to the stress. So yeah, Braves fans have

202
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: been I would say highly stressed over the last well

203
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: all year really, but especially over the last six weeks

204
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: or so.

205
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: But you know this too, like not just to finish

206
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: that thought, I we all, we've all been circling this

207
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: Mets series for six weeks probably I'm sure you guys

208
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: have too. It's like, all right, it's probably gonna come

209
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: down of this to this series in late September. We

210
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: all kind of understand that. And if if the teams

211
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: are close, everyone has this big red circle on this series,

212
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: So that maybe I guess swings a little bit of

213
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: the of the vibes of this thing. Because no matter

214
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: what happened with the Braves totally collapsed, it was going

215
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: to be a chance this week and winning game one

216
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: of the series. That kind of I guess it proves

217
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: that change.

218
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 5: And it was even only until our big winning streak

219
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 5: two weeks ago where we actually got to have you

220
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 5: guys in the standings consistently, like we have been weirdly

221
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 5: chasing you like you talk about all we've been playing

222
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 5: so well in can't g ground. That's how fell from

223
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: our perspective for the last three full months. The Mets

224
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 5: have the best record in baseball since June first, The

225
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 5: Mets have the fifth best record in baseball since the

226
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 5: All Star break, and we're still like, how could we

227
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: be a game and a half behind the Brave, still like,

228
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 5: thankfully we won the nine out of ten last week,

229
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: and then we just won the six out of seven

230
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 5: this week, so like, okay, we're head by two games,

231
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 5: but those two games felt monumental compared to where the

232
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 5: rest of the season has been. How these National League

233
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 5: wild card standings have shaken out through the second half.

234
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 4: And I think it's also important for Mets fans too,

235
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 4: like a little bit of heat check because again we're nervous,

236
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: we're stressed again, deja vu, PTSD, whatever you want to call,

237
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 4: like we're having it right now. But this team really

238
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 4: has stepped up a lot all year. There's been a

239
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 4: lot of big games for this team. There's been a

240
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: lot of times me and James have said there must

241
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: win games way earlier in the season.

242
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: The Mets step up. They do it.

243
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: Not that our opinion really matters on what it must

244
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: when game is or not, but this team has.

245
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: Stepped up before. Schwellenbach is like a good pitcher.

246
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 4: I think a lot of times too people get caught

247
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: up in the narrative of a rookie pitcher pitching in

248
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: a big game. You don't find out these guys are

249
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: dogs until they actually step up in those moments. This

250
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 4: is schwellenbax big moment. He stepped up severo did not

251
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 4: for us. The offense completely crumbled for the Mets in

252
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 4: tonight's game. But at the same time, like once in

253
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 4: a while you can tip your cap and like they

254
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: beat us. There's nothing that the Mets did in this

255
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: game that gave me the apparent appearance of what like

256
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: Mets fans like to say, like the choke. Besides just

257
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 4: simply not hitting, like five runs is a game that

258
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: you can win. This was a winnable game from the

259
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: pitching side of things. It was just the bats got

260
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 4: shut down because Swellenbach was just simply better.

261
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: He was, and he seemed to get better as the

262
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 5: game went on, like as you guys built the lead,

263
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: like it seemed like he was growing stronger and stronger.

264
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 5: And last time we finished Swellenbach that Saturday in citney Field,

265
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 5: he was good differently because he was just Slyly after

266
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: Slyther and everybody was swaying and missing. This one he was

267
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 5: so comfortable with to lead. He was like, hit it,

268
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 5: hit it, hit it. You guys played great defense. I

269
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 5: was watching the roommate who watches three baseball games a year,

270
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 5: maybe if that, and he's like, the Brace have really

271
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 5: impressed me with their defense. I was like, shut up,

272
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 5: don't don't say these things out louding where I'm doing

273
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 5: with this. But like the Mets were hitting the ball well.

274
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 5: The two three, four and five hitters combined for oh

275
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 5: for doing the quick math fifteen for the Mets. But

276
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 5: brand Nemo had three hard hit balls. Mark Fianzez hit

277
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 5: that home run, hit another ball on the cruise. Nemo

278
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 5: hit that ball down the line, And that was the

279
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 5: seventh or eighth where if Alsen doesn't get the glove

280
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 5: on there, you're suddenly looking at second and third, one

281
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: out of the hard of the Mets lineup, looking coming

282
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 5: up in a four three run games. It's like it.

283
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: That's when I stood back up there you.

284
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 5: Go exactly, because it felt like it was tense for

285
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 5: those moments, but even as the game weirdly, I think

286
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 5: it felt out of reach for Mets fans. In a

287
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: much more real sense, it wasn't that out of reach.

288
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 5: We just couldn't really muster up anything. We couldn't string

289
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 5: hits together. We only four hits in general in this game.

290
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 5: You can't win a game of four hits when you

291
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 5: have the team has five runs. You can't do it.

292
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you guys something the Mets guys,

293
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: so like, from my perspective, it feels like it's a

294
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: it's like a house money year for the Mets, Like

295
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: because I didn't expect them to do much. Most people

296
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: didn't expect them to do much. They got off to

297
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: that horrible start. I think you guys were like eleven

298
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: games under five hundred and like the early part of

299
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: June or something like that. A lot of people kind

300
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: of wrote you guys off, and I'm one of them.

301
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: To be honest, I wasn't thinking about the Mets at all.

302
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: So from your perspective, from Mets fans perspective, does it

303
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: still feel like like a house money year? Or is

304
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: it the fact that you're already here and now in

305
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 2: the playoffs, like expectations have flipped.

306
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: You got to ask me that in November. I can't

307
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: answer that question Seceember.

308
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, because right now the crazy Mets fan brain is

309
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: telling me. As much as this season has been surprising

310
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: and better than we expected, I'm still gonna be heartbroken

311
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: if we don't make the postseason Like this, this season

312
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: has been so great, it has to end with the

313
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: postseason birth. It has to end with some sort of runs.

314
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 4: It would leave a bad taste in our mouth for

315
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 4: what overall, like for the grand scheme of the Mets

316
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 4: in their future, would be a successful good season. But

317
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 4: I'm also tired of saying that, and I would like

318
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 4: an actual successful good season for once. It's it's tough

319
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: to answer. On September twenty fourth.

320
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: I'll be way more dramatic than Mark because we've tasted

321
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 5: the forbidden fruit over these last few months. Now like

322
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 5: we've been in a playoff spot again, the best record

323
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 5: in the baseball since June first, it would now totally

324
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: flip and the expectations have now overcome me, and I

325
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 5: think I would be very disappointed if this team didn't,

326
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 5: especially because, like we opened with it all, we always

327
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 5: knew for three straight months it was coming down to

328
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 5: this exact series against the Braves in Atlanta. Three games

329
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 5: against the Braves in Atlanta. The Braves are missing most

330
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 5: of their best players. There's not much of excuse right now.

331
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 5: On paper, you probably very much have a better team.

332
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 5: Not definitely, not better pitching, definitely, not a better bullpen,

333
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 5: but one through nine you should really be able to

334
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 5: hit with these guys. And the fact that this is

335
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 5: how they showed up after the first games, it's really

336
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 5: hard not to get these horribly terrifying flashbacks.

337
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, before we talk a little bit more,

338
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: because obviously there's a few more games to talk about

339
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 4: too coming up, and some more little itty bitty details.

340
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 3: Let's run a quick break and we'll be right back.

341
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 6: I love a great deal, but I'm not gonna run

342
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 6: sprints in the outfield just to save a few. It

343
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 6: has to be easy, no hoops, no bs. With Mintmobile,

Speaker 1: if you want to hate listen to one of them,

365
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: which is probably the majority of both audiences. You can

Speaker 1: support us by supporting our fellow follat Territory guys. So

367
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: even if it just feels dirty. I get it, but

368
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: go ahead and do it for us. It would be

369
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: very much appreciated. I guess we could keep going on

370
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the weekend. I know we kind of

371
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: mentioned the potential of the weather. Should we talk about

372
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: the weather for a second, because like, it's really a

373
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: chance to like ruin everything, and I feel terrible about that,

374
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: and I would I would even if the bridge had

375
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: lost tonight. I would still say the same thing. But

376
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: there's a chance, like Thursday might be a total washout

377
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: with the way the projections are and Wednesday if they

378
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: don't get the game in when it's supposed to start.

379
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: We joked about it earlier, but it William could be

380
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: like a double header on Monday, and nobody wants that,

381
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: especially because even if it's the team that wins it

382
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: in that instance, if it's a battle for one playoff spot,

383
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: et cetera, they gotta turn on and play on Tuesday

384
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: in a three game series when you just had to

385
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: like go absolutely, forgive this, forgive this speech, balls to

386
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: the wall on Monday and a doubleheader for your season

387
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: and then play on Tuesdays. Like nobody wants to do

388
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: that on either side. I'm very sure. So, I mean,

389
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the even the takeaway is other

390
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: than just like pray for no rain at least for

391
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: one of these like gotta get one of these two

392
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: games in right once.

393
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're looking at what eighty one percent rain at

394
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: seven pm, ninety nine percent rain at eight o'clock, seventy

395
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: seven at ten ninety eleven for tomorrow.

396
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't sound like we're playing baseball. You know, I

397
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: went to school in the South.

398
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: It rains a little bit different down there, and I

399
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: think a hurricane might be a little bit different than

400
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: the normal rain we're used to during a baseball game

401
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: the occasional times. Doesn't seem like these games are gonna happen,

402
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: which is probably the worst.

403
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: That can happen for the Mets right now. I think,

404
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

405
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: I hate the idea of the doubleheader on Monday, That

406
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 4: to me is taking a nightmare and just extending in

407
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: another week longer.

408
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 3: I don't want that.

409
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 5: There's also this weird question, now, what would each of

410
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 5: these teams do this weekend? Like are you holding back

411
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: some pitching? Because I like, let's say the next schedule

412
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 5: started for the Mets is David Peers and then would

413
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 5: be Sean and Iya in the last game of this series.

414
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 5: Do you not pitch those guys on Friday because you

415
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: want both of them to pitch on Monday? Like how

416
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 5: do you handle us? And the Braves are supposed to

417
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 5: pitch Sale on Wednesday and then Max Free on Thursday?

418
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 5: Like how like this? Both team still need to win

419
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 5: the games that they'll be playing, but then also the

420
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 5: game against each other could wind up being the most important,

421
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 5: and you're on less time And I don't know where

422
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 5: the Braves pitching depth right now is. I know it's

423
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 5: not tremendous all the injuries guys had the Mets isn't

424
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 5: that great either behind the five guys who've been pitching

425
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 5: every fifth day for them, And even that kind of

426
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 5: gives me some odd of that as well, So like

427
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 5: where do you how much do you hold back?

428
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: Then?

429
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 5: Are guys taking a full week off before they go

430
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: on the mound. This would be a once in a

431
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 5: lifetime thing for all of these managers and players here

432
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 5: to wait and see how the strategy will be for

433
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 5: a possible tie breaking double.

434
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: Heather Well, the interesting thing for the Braves is that

435
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: they held Sale back for tomorrow's games. So originally the

436
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: conversation in Braves Country was do you pitch Sale on

437
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: Tuesday tonight's game so that he can pitch on Sunday

438
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 2: in a game one sixty two scenario where you needed

439
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: that game to win to make the playoffs. They didn't

440
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: do that. They held him back for Wednesday's game, which

441
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: is now interesting because if you have to play Monday,

442
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: that means Sale for the Braves would be available on

443
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: normal rest to pitch a Monday game. So, you know,

444
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: the team and the manager and everybody in the organization.

445
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: Quite honestly, they caught a lot of flak for not

446
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 2: having Sale pitched tonight because now you know, obviously when

447
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: he pitches in this series, it's going to be the

448
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 2: last time he pitches. And funny enough, if the season

449
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: gets extended to Monday, then that's not the case, then

450
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: Sale could very much pitch on Monday. So I think,

451
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: listening to you guys, my guess is the Braves are

452
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: a little better set up for that potential of having

453
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: to play on Monday because Sale would be available on

454
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: regular rest to do it. And also they have Ronaldo

455
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: Lopez who's supposed to come off the il Thursday, who

456
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: could also potentially pitch a game. So if they had

457
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: to pitch both of those guys, say they had to

458
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: play double Hearon on Monday, which is obviously is the

459
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: night mer scenario, they could potentially pitch both of those

460
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: guys on Monday on normal rest. So I think the

461
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 2: Braves are probably a little better set up for that

462
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: eventuality than the Mets are. But nobody wants. I mean,

463
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: I have tickets for Tomorrow's game, so like, I really

464
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: really don't want that canceled. But the weather is just abysmal.

465
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fully opposite of the Mets because if we

466
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 5: play tomorrow but they get rained down on Thursday, then

467
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 5: you guys miss manayah, And if we play Monday, I'll

468
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 5: pitch on Friday, so you would wind up missing him completely.

469
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 5: So we'll get your best pitcher twice and you will

470
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 5: never see our best pitcher. So yeah, and the dirty

471
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 5: nightmare scenario for the.

472
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: Mets, and the dirty secret is the Braves I believe,

473
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: even including today, are five hundred when Chris Sale does

474
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: not pitch, and twenty two and seven when he does

475
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: for the season, So essentially they are as average as

476
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: could be without Chris Sale and pretty awesome when Chris Sale,

477
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: which is logical he's the say young front runner, it's

478
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: like that that's a huge secret. But they've been pretty

479
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: pretty mediocre when he's not pitching, and that's we referenced

480
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: it earlier with Schwellenbach being so good today, and I'm

481
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: sure Steve and I weren't so were terribly surprise. He's

482
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: been nails for most of this season. But still it

483
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: was the biggest part of his life and he goes

484
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: out there, especially given the mostly local controversy but still

485
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: local controversy about not pitching Sales tonight. It makes you

486
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: look a lot better when your rookie goes out there

487
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: and throws seven to one run innings against a competent offense. So, like,

488
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if maybe the brands will be proven right.

489
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: I actually candidly didn't like it, and I said as

490
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: much on the show. If Sale was healthy, I would

491
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: have pitched him today. But it looks like that's gonna

492
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: work out at least for the short term. But I mean,

493
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: the weather talk is boring. It does matter. We had

494
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: to do it. We didn't want to talk about the weather,

495
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: but it's like it. Really. If it wasn't a hurricane,

496
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a story. But it's a hurricane, so

497
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: here we are.

498
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 4: The one thing that would help with the weather is

499
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: that hopefully Francisco Lindor would be able to then play

500
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: into out of the games in this series, because the

501
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 4: way that he looked walking in today. I caught a

502
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 4: lot of flak on Twitter for saying he looks stiff,

503
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 4: but he didn't even come in the game, so I

504
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 4: mean he might still be a little stiff. A back

505
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 4: injury serious at least, that's my silver lining. If they

506
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 4: were to play a doubleheader on Monday, Francisco Lindor, that's

507
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: the best chance he has to probably play the rest

508
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 4: of the year. Would be a game two games on Monday,

509
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: and they would arguably be the two most important games

510
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: of the series. There's also like the weird thing going

511
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: on right now, and you mentioned like Schwellenbach being picked

512
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 4: for the Mets, and just like managerial decisions getting undermined

513
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 4: or talked about a little bit, Mendoza has been a

514
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 4: guy who's been moving people around so much today. And

515
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys know as much as

516
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 4: Braves fans but US Mets fans seeing Starling Marte hitting third,

517
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 4: coming up twice with men on base, multiple men on base,

518
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 4: and having some of the worst at bats possible that

519
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 4: we've seen really discouraging, especially because, like we said, we

520
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 4: had opportunities of time to get back into this game

521
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: and just kind of let it off the hook.

522
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it just doesn't really seem to make sense for

523
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 5: the mess perspective, but they continue to do it, not

524
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 5: only hitting him in prominent spots in the order consistently,

525
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 5: even though again he's played this year, not hit for

526
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 5: much power and not really hit well at all in

527
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 5: general recently, and then also continues to playing him in

528
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 5: the outfield. I understand that Jesse Winker is a is

529
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 5: a bit of an adventure in the outfield. You don't

530
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 5: want to play him there either. The Mets have an

531
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 5: embarrassment of riches that specifically designated hither but that throw

532
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 5: home from Marte in the third inning allowed the Braves

533
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 5: to get extra bases was ill advised. It wasn't close

534
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 5: to getting out Michael Harris, who has amazing speed at

535
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 5: home on that single That from Albi's was just it

536
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 5: was kind of a compounding of issues for Marte like

537
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 5: overall game after as this game went on, play after play,

538
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 5: where again speaking from marketized perspective and other Mets fans

539
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 5: in their lives, like it just didn't really ever seem

540
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 5: like he was someone that was ready to make a

541
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 5: big gamepack in this game and multiple times who's thrust

542
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 5: into being one of the most quintessential players in it.

543
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: What's that saying the ball finds you, the ball always

544
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: find like I mean, for a Braves fans perspective, Sure,

545
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: people yelling at their at their phones right now listening

546
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: to us, it's been Orlando RCA for the Braves for

547
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: the last like two weeks. Who's probably their worst hitter.

548
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: It feels like every time they have a big ad

549
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: bad it's him, and he's been a disaster. So we

550
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: identify with you in solidarity on that one.

551
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 2: Suppose at least I'll say this about sever Reno. I

552
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: didn't think he actually pitched as bad like that one

553
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: inning where he got away from him. It was a

554
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: swinging bunt by Orlando that ended up as an error.

555
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: I'm not even sure the air was his fault. His

556
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: catcher got in the way as he was trying to

557
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 2: throw it. And then you know, Michael hit a rope

558
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: double that was a real hit. But then after that,

559
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: like Ozzie had a broken bat, little ground ball single,

560
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: Loreano had a broken back ground ball single. You know,

561
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 2: he didn't get like crushed. You know, Michael came back

562
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: and hit the homer off of that after that. But

563
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, I didn't think sever I thought Severino

564
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: looked better and pitched better than maybe his line is

565
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 2: gonna end up. You know, it looks like he gave

566
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: up four runs and four innings and didn't pitch great.

567
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: I will say the Braves did a really good job

568
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: of getting his pitch count up. They laid off a

569
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: lot of those sweepers, which to me was the key

570
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 2: to the game. The Braves have so many right handed,

571
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: right handed hitters in their lineup that I was really

572
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: worried about that sweeper. That fastball sweeper combo just devastating

573
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: them all night long, and they were They were able

574
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: to lay off it quite a bit tonight, and he

575
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: got his pitch down up. He was at like eighty

576
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: something pitches in the fourth inning. I thought that was

577
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: I actually thought that was a bigger key to the

578
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: game than the couple the runs the Braves scored, because

579
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: again I don't think sever Reno pitched as bad as

580
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: maybe some of those hits made it look.

581
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we kind of got a Spencer Strider

582
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 4: there a little bit. We got a couple couple of

583
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 4: soft hits that dropped like he didn't have his command.

584
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: And I'm sure James will give us some more numbers

585
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 4: here on, like his whiffs and stuff like that. But

586
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 4: overall wasn't a good start, but it also wasn't a

587
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 4: bad start, if that makes any sense.

588
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, this has kind of been the issue with sever Reno,

589
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 5: not the issue because he's had a tremendous season. He's

590
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 5: been one of the reasons, the main reason that's even

591
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 5: in this position. But I'm saying this to Mark and

592
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 5: on our show for a few weeks now, Severrino, just

593
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 5: as we got to this point in the season, has

594
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 5: no bag against the lefties. And I could feel immediately

595
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 5: in that first that bat of the game to Michael Harris,

596
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 5: it was he had him down one two immediately and

597
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 5: it got to be like an eight to nine pitch

598
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 5: at bat, and it was just fastball after fastball after fastball.

599
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 5: He didn't really seem to trust any of his other

600
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 5: pitches against the lefties. He even threw one change in

601
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 5: this game, and overall, he only threw three pitches that

602
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 5: weren't forcing fastballs to lefties the entire game, and two

603
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 5: of those three came against Michael Harris. And one of

604
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 5: those three was a cover that Keith Hernandez lamented on

605
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 5: the broadcast, didn't cut it all, just spun right up

606
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 5: the top of his own and that was the one

607
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 5: Harris laced for the double for the first run of

608
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 5: the game. So while again it felt like Seavy got

609
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 5: babbitped a lot, that that hit by Lariano, I'll never

610
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 5: I'll never comprehend to that ball made to the outfield,

611
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 5: rolling off his bat, kind of hitting it twice, but

612
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 5: in fact that he's hit. Yeah, this happened the Mets

613
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 5: Phillies game last weekend too, and Citizens Bank Park, where

614
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 5: by the time Severgno got to his third that back

615
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 5: against Bryce Harper, he just he seemed to have nothing left.

616
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 5: Harper homard off the change up, throw one more change

617
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 5: up the rest of that game, and then he's just

618
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 5: kind of stuck throwing these fastballs over and over and

619
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 5: over against the lefties, and if you can't put those

620
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 5: in precise spots against this caliber of hitters, which he couldn't,

621
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 5: and these hithers are great. Eventually, guys are gonna ful

622
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 5: pitches off like Harris did over and over again. Olsen

623
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: did too in that first rally until you get that hit,

624
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 5: and it's just it was exactly what happened. It was

625
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 5: exactly because I was terrified love.

626
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it was.

627
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 4: It was definitely not the best for Severino. Of course,

628
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 4: Michael Harris being one of those lefties you couldn't get out.

629
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: I'll let the Braves guys talk about him a little

630
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 4: bit more, but first we have another quick break.

631
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.

632
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 7: You know what doesn't make sense. Nasal hygiene isn't often

633
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 7: part of our everyday routines, and it should be. Enter

Speaker 3: So.

652
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: Going into the break, we were listening you guys talking

653
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: about Michael Harrison so and Michael Harris. I don't even

654
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: I guess you could argue Swallow Black versus Harris as

655
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: to who was the hero of the game in this one.

656
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: They were probably one A in one B. But Michael

657
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: Harris has been basically out of his mind for about

658
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: two weeks and unfortunately for the Mets, that kind of

659
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: came to fruition in this one. He has five hote

660
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: runs in the last seven games. He was three for

661
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: three tonight to open the game and he had the

662
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: fantastic diving catch in the fifth inning that was kind

663
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: of like a hat tip moment as the best guys

664
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: shake their heads as I'm saying this, But no, I mean,

665
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: and look, the Braves have had this up and down,

666
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: weird season as far as like who's been hot, who's

667
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: not been and they're so banged up, all those things

668
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: that we talked about a number of times. But it's

669
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: been Matt Olson at at the forefront and Michael Harris

670
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: is now like basically being their second star last couple

671
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: of weeks. I don't know what you've seen, Steve, but

672
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: it feels like that's a game changing thing for Atlanta

673
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: in the moment, and the timing of that is obviously

674
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: very nice considering how good he was tonight.

675
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, our fans will know. We've talked about this all

676
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 2: year that Matt Olsen is the key to this team

677
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: because they have so many right handed hitters and right

678
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 2: handed pitching can be a real problem for them. That's

679
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: why I was worried about Severino tonight because they're just

680
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: so right handed, and Matt Olsen has had an up

681
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 2: and down year. He's certainly not had the year he

682
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: had last year, but he's been red hot for about

683
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: two months, and then Michael Harris has been red hot

684
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 2: for about two weeks now, and those being the two

685
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: basically only two lefties in the Braves lineup, those guys

686
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: are critical against guys like Savarina. Like you said, guys

687
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: like him have trouble with lefties. But the Braves just

688
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: don't have a ton of lefties. You know, Jared Kelnick

689
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: has had a really disappointing second half. He's basically been

690
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: benched for Ramon Loreano, who's a right hander. So the

691
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: only two lefties the Braves had. Ozzy Obviy's is back,

692
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 2: but he's only betting right handed, So literally the only

693
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: two lefties the Braves have are Michael Harris and Matt Olsen.

694
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: And so when they play a guy like Severino, who

695
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: who can struggle with lefties, at the time, they're critical,

696
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: and tonight I thought they were, you know, I thought

697
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: they had some of the best at bats in the game,

698
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: Michael Harris specifically. You know, when those those two guys go,

699
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: and again, the people that listen to our show, we

700
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: talked about this all year, especially Matt Olsen, when those

701
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: guys go, the Braves are just so much more balanced.

702
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: They can hit righty's as well as they hit lefties.

703
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: And tonight was you know, tonight was a perfect example

704
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: of that. Olson and Harris both put up grade at

705
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,239
Speaker 2: bat after great at bat. Even though even Thoughlsen only

706
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: had one hit, he had a walk, he was in

707
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: three two counts all night. It's part of getting Severino's

708
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: pitch count up. Like those two guys had the best

709
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: at bats of the night. And when that's the case

710
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: for the Braves, they their their lineup goes to a

711
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: different level.

712
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's crazy.

713
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: One of the reasons to watch on the go Ahead,

714
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, one of the reasons to watch

715
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: on YouTube is to get the reaction that you guys

716
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: had to Jered Kelnick's name being messed on the podcast.

717
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: If you if you were only listening, you should be.

718
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: You should just to see what the mesa. It was incredible. Yeah.

719
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 4: No, uh, definitely not a pro jake like podcasts over here.

720
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 4: And I'm still waiting for him to hurt us, like

721
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 4: he hasn't heard us yet. I'm waiting for it. It's

722
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: gonna happen at some point in our lifetime. He's gonna

723
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 4: do something that is unforgivable as a Mets fan. But yeah,

724
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: it's just like annoying too, because really, like the bottom

725
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: of the order got a couple hits, they got on

726
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 4: base a couple of times, but it was frustrating to

727
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 4: be beat by the top of the order when we

728
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: know that's the only thing that can really hurt us,

729
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 4: like Giovanni Roschell, like these guys may have moments for

730
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 4: the Braves, but to not be able to get Giovanni

731
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 4: Orchell and Ramon Loreano and Orlando Arcia out as easy

732
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 4: as they should be for the quality of player they

733
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: are as compared to the top of the order. It

734
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 4: was just like such a frustrating game to watch from

735
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: the Mets fans side, And I know, like the conversation

736
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: is gonna be it's happening again. The Mets are doing

737
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 4: it again, like it's it's all starting to snowball, and

738
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 4: it feels like it's so much on our shoulders right now.

739
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: But the same time, like I gotta say.

740
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 4: It just felt like the Met's had to hit, Like

741
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, as bad things could

742
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 4: have been on the pitching side, you just have to hit.

743
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: And the bats simply didn't show up. I just hope

744
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: they do.

745
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 4: They've been so great it would be like ridiculous for

746
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 4: Mets fans us anyone in general to just count this

747
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 4: team out right now because the Bats had one off

748
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 4: night when they've been putting up numbers against all these

749
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: other teams all year long.

750
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 5: Totally, that's that's just the drama of Mets fans, Like

751
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,239
Speaker 5: we came on here dooman gloom the beginning, but by

752
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 5: the time tomorrow rolls around, when I wake up, I'm

753
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 5: be fully ready to dive back in again and have

754
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 5: all the hope in the world. It's just the bitty

755
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 5: little bit of frustration war. It's his war. It's only

756
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 5: just because you lose the bowts does not mean you

757
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 5: lose the war. That's that's a famous setting back there.

758
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 5: But it was a little bit of the fact that

759
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 5: this team just wasn't necessarily sharp at times, like when

760
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 5: that missed that ball was misplayed by the combination of

761
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 5: Alvarez Severino, really just Alvarez getting in Luis Averregno's way

762
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 5: on that Orlando Arcia dribbler that starts spurning the rally

763
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 5: in the third inning. It was just like, oh, man,

764
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 5: like this defense has been so good for weeks now.

765
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 5: I think that's been one of the mets under unheralded

766
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 5: calling cards. This amazing hot few months have been on

767
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 5: has been defense, which is always a huge backbone of

768
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 5: David Sterearn's Milwaukee teams back in the day. So the

769
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: fact that there was that misplay and then the flood

770
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 5: gates immediately opened and there were three straight that bats

771
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 5: fore a guy reached second base and there was not

772
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 5: an out record. You're like, okay, this is something that

773
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 5: was just hasn't hasn't happened yet, and then you guys

774
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 5: make Samaras on the other side, Orlando or Cia misplayed

775
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 5: a few balls and both times the Mess just couldn't

776
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 5: seem to get that big hit to do anything about it,

777
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 5: and it was Pilanzo once again in a game not

778
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 5: getting a big hit.

779
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: This year.

780
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 5: We talked about Marte before. Jesse Winger did not have

781
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 5: very many good at that today and we kind of

782
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 5: needed him as a guy like Schwelling back just again

783
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 5: just ran through us like a hot knife, hot knife

784
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 5: through brother and just oh, it's just there was so

785
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 5: many little moments the Mess could have gone back in

786
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 5: the game and we just couldn't get you, guys to

787
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 5: even break that sweat, even have that a little bit

788
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 5: of stress that you can carry the momentum into the

789
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 5: next day. And that was what continue to frustrate me

790
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 5: so badly.

791
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: It does seem to come out like when that that

792
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: little moment of stress is the way you It's great

793
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: that you put it that way, because it didn't really

794
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: happen like they were. It was like one little thing

795
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: away from that happening in this game. Once the lead

796
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: was built it you never had that panic moment. You

797
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: never had that that one played appearance where it's like,

798
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: all right, this might be the game right here. Because

799
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: the lead was semi comfortable. It Braves gone probably timely

800
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: all the way through, and yeah the Mets got went across,

801
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: but it was already five to nothing. You're still within

802
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: four and the bravest bullpen has been knocked on wood

803
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: lights out this year. So it didn't feel that nervy

804
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 1: in the moment, but there, you're right there. There were

805
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: several times where it was maybe one at bat, one

806
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 1: misplay away from getting interesting in a way that we

807
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: didn't want it to be on our side of things.

808
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: But obviously the Mets would have been probably feeling because

809
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: they have been playing so well for so long. I'm

810
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: sure there is an inherent confidence in that clubhouse right

811
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: now that like, hey, we're losing, we're winning every night basically,

812
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: and there's some of that just vibe that could kind

813
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: of settle in, which is why I was so big

814
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: the brain struck first and led this one to kind

815
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: of not give them that extra fuel that I'm sure

816
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: they already have kind of deep down for how it

817
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: hap it been?

818
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll say this like I was. I was

819
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 2: obviously been doing a lot of research about the Mets,

820
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: knowing that we were going to do this show. And

821
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: if you told me that the Mets were going to

822
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: have the year that they're having and you just said,

823
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: how is it going to happen? I would have told

824
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: you that Pete Alonso went nuts for a year, and JD.

825
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: Martinez went nuts for a year, and Lindor went nuts,

826
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: and Brandon Nemo went nuts, and you actually like and

827
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: like Francisco Alvarez, I would have assumed he was having

828
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: just a monster season and you actually look at like

829
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 2: what's happened. It's been very different than I would have expected,

830
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: Like Jad Martinez has had a very average year. Pete Alonzo,

831
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: by here standards, has had a very average year. Francisco Alvarez,

832
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: I think it's had a pretty average year. It's been

833
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: guys like Vientto's obviously, Lindor is incredible, you know, the

834
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 2: pitching come out of nowhere to be awesome. Like, it's

835
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: been much different. I don't know how Mets fans feel.

836
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: I'd be interest to hear y'all's perspective. But when I

837
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 2: was doing the research of the team for the year,

838
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: how good you guys have been. The how it's actually

839
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 2: you know, how it's actually played out has been very

840
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: different than I would have guessed if you asked me

841
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: in March. You know, if this team was going to

842
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: be a playoff team, how it was gonna happen. I

843
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: don't think I would have picked how it's happened so

844
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: far in twenty twenty four.

845
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think what's been really great about this Mets team,

846
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 4: And again just a reassuring thing for the gloom and

847
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 4: doom Mets fans out there maybe listening to this in

848
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 4: our massachiser, Like, let me hear forty five minutes about

849
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 4: how we just lost to the Braves after I just

850
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 4: watched that game. The team has stepped Like we said earlier,

851
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 4: guys have stepped up to different points, like brand Nemo

852
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 4: had a point this year where at the All Star

853
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 4: break thought I should have made the team. He went

854
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 4: absolutely nuclear he was discussing peel A. Lonzo's had some

855
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 4: big moments where he's gotten hot. A couple of weeks

856
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 4: ago he was on fire. Alvarez, like even Luis an

857
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: hell Acunya stepping up this last week for In Francisco,

858
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 4: Lindor's absence has been so huge it's just about now,

859
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 4: who's gonna be next?

860
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 3: Can they do this all together? We really only got

861
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 3: like a week or two.

862
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: It feels like of where the entire lineup was just

863
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 4: so hot when we were playing the Rangers and we

864
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 4: had a little bit that West Coast trip where they

865
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 4: were just swinging the bats so well. But as a whole,

866
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 4: it hasn't happened yet, and guys like Jade Martinez Jesse

867
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 4: Winker has been a little bit cold. It feels like

868
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 4: the last few days need those guys to really step

869
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 4: up if we want a chance to end the Brave

870
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 4: Series season this week. If those games even get played,

871
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 4: and it also felt like maybe this was the first

872
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 4: time since the Lindor in that it felt like we

873
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 4: actually physically missed him.

874
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and another big thing is that JD Martinez, going

875
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 5: completely invisible over the last two weeks is now in

876
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 5: a game like this where Stoling Marte hits third and

877
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 5: fails in multiple key spots, that's where you can feel

878
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 5: a detriment a tweet when like semi Viral and metz

879
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 5: Twiler yesterday that show the Daniel Vogelback and JD Martinez

880
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 5: side by side and then one few were at bat

881
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 5: as Mets, Daniel Vogelback had a higher batting average, higher

882
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 5: on base percentage, and a higher slucking percentage than JD

883
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 5: Martinez has done this year. So while JD's had some

884
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 5: amazing moments and his impact on this team I think

885
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 5: has been tremendous pass what he's done on the field,

886
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 5: his tutelage of Mark Fiento's mainly sticking out. It just

887
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 5: him disappearing when they really need the most op for

888
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 5: his last thirty two or thirty three at this point

889
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 5: is bad and you feel that trickled down because then

890
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 5: this Mets line just gets a little bit shorter, and

891
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 5: when the Mets line doesn't get shorter because Carls Mendez

892
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 5: is very reactionary. He likes to flip guys around all

893
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 5: the time. If you get these like kind of dips

894
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 5: instead of this like okay, after the seven hit there,

895
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 5: everything falls off like what most teams wind up as.

896
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 5: But now you have a situation where, like in a

897
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 5: game for the Mets, they're two, three, four, and five hitters,

898
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 5: zero hits, like you just can't have that. And then

899
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 5: you get these little pieces of news about Lendois's little

900
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 5: crumbs left by the beat report. There's about Lindor's running,

901
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: Lindora's taking batting practice more aggressively. Then there was that

902
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 5: bizarre tweet from Steve Gelbs, like the fifth inning, when

903
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 5: it was five to nothing, Lindor has emerged from the

904
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 5: clubhouse wearing cleats instead of sneakers, Like what is this?

905
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 5: Is this a fairy tale character that's going on? And

906
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 5: then you look on the other side and you see

907
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 5: the Braves. We're two hours before this game, they announced

908
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 5: that their best player that could have possibly returned this year,

909
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 5: Austin Riley, was officially out. The hand wasn't healing the

910
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 5: right way, and it's just like we the Mets kind

911
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 5: of kind of pushed themselves motivate themselves more in these

912
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: little emotional things, more in like the power of friendship,

913
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 5: like Mark and I say, sometimes more in these like fun,

914
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 5: happy dancy vibes where the Braves get the worst piece

915
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 5: of news they've gotten in a month and then they're

916
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 5: just like full steam ahead, let's beat the other team.

917
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: Well, and I'll say this that Braves fans I think

918
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 2: are pretty hardened to bad news at this point this year.

919
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: Like we wanted, right, we want I wanted Riley to

920
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 2: come back, and there was a there was certainly a

921
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: hope that he could. But in an honest moment, I

922
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: don't think many Braves fans actually expected him to be back.

923
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: I mean, it would have been fantastic, But like when

924
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 2: I saw the news today, and Brad, I'll let Brad

925
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 2: talk about this too. When I saw the news today,

926
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I mean that's kind of that's

927
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: just kind of what I thought it. It wasn't like

928
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: a crushing blow, you know, when we got the news

929
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 2: at first that he had broken the wrists or the

930
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: ham or whatever it is. That was the crushing blow

931
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: the idea that he is not going to come back. Now.

932
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: You know, what you guys are dealing with with Lindor

933
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: is more of a daily drama than what we're dealing

934
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: with with Riley, at least my perspective, because for me,

935
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: like Riley, I've just kind of counted him out for

936
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: most of the for the rest of the year anyways,

937
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: and if he came back, great, But you know, obviously

938
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: with Lindor, it's it's it's it's just completely up in

939
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 2: the air every day. You guys have no idea what

940
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: it's going to be.

941
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we had done our regular Braves only shows

942
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: and I would have spent fifty man, it's on Riley probably,

943
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. But you're right that

944
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: it did seem like we were all holding our breath.

945
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: But it was like, maybe he can come back at

946
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: the earliest for the Royal Series and be maybe diminished

947
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. It was like we were holding out

948
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: for Austin Rally to be Austin Riley at all Capitol letters.

949
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: He's been out for so long and there was the

950
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: expectation it was like going to be close the whole time.

951
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: So it's not as gut punchy as any of the

952
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: other injuries have been the big ones. But yeah, as

953
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: Lindor is about to come back, and look, I'm obviously

954
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: would be easier for the Braves to win if Leonard

955
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: didn't play. I love Lindor Rocks. I mean, it's not

956
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: popular to say that he's awesome. He's very very good.

957
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: If he wants to come back on Friday, that's probably

958
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: better for the Braves. But alas we'll know, all right,

959
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: we'll have more to kind of spin forward on the

960
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: rest of this series, provided it happens on time, as

961
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: we teased earlier. But first it word from our guys

984
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 4: We actually just got some news coming out of the

985
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 4: break from Metsbeat reporter friend of the podcast over here

986
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 4: at Mets Up, Tim Healy, and it's about the game tomorrow,

987
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 4: which I guess that's a great way for us to

988
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 4: end here as well. Good timing on that, Tim, Carlosbindoza said.

989
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: David Stearns hasn't heard anything regarding changes for Mets Braves tomorrow.

990
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 4: Sounds like they'll just show up like normal. Hope to

991
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 4: get the game in a schedule. Steven, it sounds like

992
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 4: you are going to be sitting in the rain tomorrow

993
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: waiting for this game to never happen.

994
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: That's right, Poncho season, Like Brad says, poncho season.

995
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: But I was looking at weather.

996
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 5: I was looking at weather Ports today and there was

997
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 5: a line that I tweeted from ACU Weather that's a

998
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 5: potential for life threatening flooding. Have you guys, like just

999
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 5: living in the Atlanta area, taken any precautions for what

1000
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 5: could be allegedly be this kind of cataclysmic grainstorm ahead?

1001
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that that sounds stronger than I would have thought.

1002
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: But I did see that tweet from you. I had

1003
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: a bit of a chuckle and more of that like

1004
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: nervous chuckle. You know, it's like, all right, hopefully not

1005
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: life threatening for not always Steven who will be in

1006
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: the building, but even for me at home. I don't

1007
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: really want to deal with life threading flooding in my life.

1008
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I think we're in agreement. It

1009
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: seems like that it's probably not gonna happen tomorrow. Should

1010
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: we talk about the game as if it's going to happen?

1011
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: Should we preview? Chris Sale and David Peters, I don't know,

1012
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about the matchup at all?

1013
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 3: Or it's like just kind of put the Braves have

1014
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 3: the advantage. Chris Sales better than David Peterson.

1015
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: That is, that is accurate. Chris Chris salees pretty good.

1016
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: Chris sale is the so young front runner for a reason.

1017
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: And by the way, an extra day of rest. He

1018
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: didn't look his one hundred percent best self in his

1019
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: last start, which I think we probably understand was the

1020
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: reason he didn't pitch today, is that they wanted to

1021
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: give him a extra day to kind of get it

1022
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: together and get you know, he's old, he has a

1023
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: pitches spanning, he's in a long time. But I say

1024
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: that every time he's had a little bit of like

1025
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: a misstep this year, the next start's been absolutely lights out.

1026
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: So if this game happens, I expected to be good.

1027
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be a three to two game, and we'll

1028
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: see which way that goes. But I, as I mentioned earlier,

1029
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 1: the brains has been awesome when he pitches, and that's

1030
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: not only because of him, but it's.

1031
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 4: Mostly listen over here on the Messed Up podcast, who

1032
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 4: like to say the Braves have voodoo magic. I don't

1033
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 4: know what Anthopolis does over there. As a fellow Greek guy, myself.

1034
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 4: I know my Yaya had some secret powers that I

1035
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 4: haven't gotten passed down to me yet.

1036
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 3: But maybe he can just push the rain clouds away

1037
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: a little bit, get.

1038
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 4: These games in and uh because I again, I can't

1039
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 4: wait until Monday for the rest of these games.

1040
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 3: I can't do.

1041
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 5: Waiting until seven twenty. Tonight was horrible, just fester all day.

1042
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: None of us want Monday. Nobody wants Monday on either team,

1043
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 1: either podcast, either fan base. No one wants to deal

1044
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: with Monday with Basically, you know, it may not be

1045
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: winner take all by then there's a chance it gets

1046
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: settled before Monday if that happens. But we all know

1047
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. If it happens on Monday, it's gonna

1048
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: mean everything. It's gonna be the whole season on Monday.

1049
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: If that's what happens, we all know it.

1050
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 5: I will imagine.

1051
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: I will say this the Diamondbacks, like the diamond Backs

1052
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: could just the diamond Backs could just wet the bed

1053
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 2: all week.

1054
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: That's why I brought it up. And it may it

1055
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: may not matter on Monday.

1056
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 4: Maybe you guys are nice guys, but I don't want

1057
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 4: the Braves to make the playoffs.

1058
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 3: So I'm hoping it's the Diamondbacks.

1059
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 2: I understand as long as the So yeah, there all week,

1060
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 2: so that could happen. Like these games might not matter.

1061
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they probably will because that's how it goes.

1062
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: But there's a chance, like the Diamondbacks have not been

1063
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: playing well, Like they got that horrible loss on Sunday,

1064
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 2: they lost last night, they got Logan Webb tonight.

1065
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: I don't mean that, I don't I don't mean to

1066
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: go live spoil, but they if you guys haven't seen,

1067
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 1: they're currently down seven to nothing in the third inning.

1068
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: Now that may change. They just they just blew it.

1069
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: Eate nothing lead. Was that yesterday?

1070
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1071
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: Ate nothing lead or yesterday or Sunday one of those games,

1072
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: So nothing's safe. But they're not seven nothing in the

1073
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: third ending right now as we're talking.

1074
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, just have to shut out Mets legend

1075
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 5: Michael Confour though the four hundred and twenty five foot

1076
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 5: home run for the second time and two nights against

1077
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 5: the Diamondbacks to push this ahead. But there's a chance.

1078
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 5: I have all four of these teams over like a

1079
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 5: very minuscule two week sample. It seems like that Diamonbacks

1080
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 5: team might be playing relatively the worst ball, So yeah,

1081
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 5: maybe the series winds up being nothing. But I think

1082
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 5: that even the series winds up being nothing, there's something

1083
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 5: inside of all the Mets fans right now, and I'm

1084
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 5: sure all of the Mets players where you won't really

1085
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 5: feel that satisfied unless you get over this hump and

1086
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 5: can beat this Braves team, because there's no there's almost

1087
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 5: there's no joy in victory without it, even if you

1088
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 5: make the playoffs and loose these games.

1089
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean I know us as Mets fans,

1090
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 4: we definitely have a different perspective these next couple of

1091
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 4: games coming up here. Me and James are not typically

1092
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 4: gloom and doom Mets fans. I don't think we even

1093
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 4: are right now. I think we're gonna be completely fine

1094
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 4: as soon as we stop finishing recording this and wake

1095
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 4: up tomorrow morning and it's whatever is going on in

1096
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 4: New York City. But yeah, I mean, this has been

1097
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 4: a really good crossover episode with Hamburg Territory and Mets up.

1098
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 4: We want to know your guys' final thoughts, how how high,

1099
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 4: how much better do you guys feel after seeing tonight's

1100
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 4: game as opposed to coming into tonight.

1101
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: I'll go first. I think that obviously, just the sheer

1102
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: math of that, you gotta feel much better, especially with

1103
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: sale wind up the next day whenever that happens. At

1104
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: the same time, my rational brain, I'm a little bit

1105
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: more of a pessimistic doomsday er than some The brands

1106
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: are still behind in this. In this, not in the series,

1107
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: but in the overall picture of things. They still have

1108
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: to win at least one of the next two, and

1109
00:45:58,200 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: even if they win one of the next two, they're

1110
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: still gonna be behind the Mets. So the pressures in

1111
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: my mind still, Like we start this conversation, I think

1112
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: that there's the pressure is still on the Braves. It's

1113
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: maybe lessened by the win today. They don't now have

1114
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: to be perfect the next two days, but they do

1115
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: have to at least get one, and preferably by all accounts,

1116
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: they gotta get both. So I feel better, but I

1117
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 1: don't feel good, if that makes sense.

1118
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I never feel good about anything. I mean, I'm gonna.

1119
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 5: Nuts.

1120
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 9: That does sound like Steven unbelievable, But like, if you've

1121
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 9: like what we've gone through in the postseason the last

1122
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 9: couple of years, just getting dog walked by the Phillies

1123
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 9: two times in a row.

1124
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: Off teams, the Falcons are the Falcons. The Hawks are

1125
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 2: like Alan fans.

1126
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 3: Oh so sorry for.

1127
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a level of always kind of dread,

1128
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,479
Speaker 2: and that's what Brad's talking about a little bit about

1129
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 2: you know, he's always kind of not always, but we're

1130
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 2: we're both a little bit more pessimistic than some. But

1131
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 2: I do feel better. I mean I once the game

1132
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 2: was over, I felt better. Of course, having Sail tomorrow.

1133
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 2: I mean, if the game gets played. We don't know

1134
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: if the game is gonna get played, but having Saale

1135
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: tomorrow is probably what I feel most comfortable about, just

1136
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 2: because he's he's Chris Sale. He's gonna win the side

1137
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 2: young like you know, the Braves just play extremely well

1138
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 2: when he pitches, So I feel great about that whenever

1139
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 2: that game gets played. Yeah, I guess I probably. I

1140
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 2: guess we probably are feel a lot better than you guys.

1141
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 2: You guys are obviously dealing with some demons from the

1142
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: past for coming to the truest park and losing games

1143
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: that the Braves fans don't have to deal with. So yeah, well,

1144
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: I mean after this win and night, having Sailed tomorrow.

1145
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 2: I think we're definitely feeling better than you guys are

1146
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 2: at the moment.

1147
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, just wondering, now, how many consecutive division titles does

1148
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 5: a fan base need to feel to be confident? Because

1149
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 5: is it seventeen? Is it eighteen?

1150
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: Like?

1151
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 5: What actually had to have happened your guys lifetime streaks

1152
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 5: over Now from this perspective, I can't even comprehend the

1153
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 5: things that you're saying of not feeling.

1154
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 3: Mets fans were different kind of stick in the head.

1155
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but understand have had so many postseason blow ups like, oh.

1156
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 5: No, we make the playoffs every year and don't win

1157
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 5: the World Series.

1158
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 2: You know what, I like you guys, don't It doesn't matter.
