32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: you were there on Sunday, packed house, I mean, Cideville

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: felt like it was rocking this weekend. It was let's

34
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: do a really funny job on Sundays for kids Day

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: at the ballpark. We hadn't been to a Sunday game.

36
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: I was at Sunday Night Baseball last week, but it

37
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: wasn't as a kid day up because again hopefully not

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: bring the kids to Sunday night baseball, but Sunday Day baseball.

39
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: Great day for the kids and all the kids drawings

40
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: on the board and like the kids dance dancing stuff.

41
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: It was.

42
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: It was fun, it was cute.

43
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: They did the Mahana song that neither of us have

44
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: ever heard before. Felt super Old, super Washed for the

45
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: eighth inning sing along. But I say feels a great

46
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: place like anyone. It's if you can, if you have

47
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: the means to get there for at least one game

48
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: this season is what worth it because they've done such

49
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: an amazing job year and every game this series, again

50
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: the fans came out to play. The place was rocking.

51
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: The team played with a lot of energy. They were

52
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: giving energy, the fans were giving it back like it

53
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: was really just it feels like it's always so with

54
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: such a no sum game when you play these horrible

55
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: teams like the Rockies, who again, as Mark said, stisically

56
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: right now the worst team in the modern era through

57
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: fifty five games or whatever, fifty nine games they're through

58
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: right now, nine and fifty you have to win them.

59
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: But we did win them. So it was great.

60
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, two hundred and seventy on Friday, six hundred and

61
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: eighty one on Saturday and Sunday we were there and

62
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: there were not many empty seats. You know, it's packed

63
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: when the upper decks and left field last railway field.

64
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: So it's really cool see if the Mets fans are

65
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: coming out supporting the team, teams playing good baseball, and

66
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: we know that they love playing at home. They now

67
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: have again still the best record in Major League Baseball

68
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: at home. I think they're up to twenty four and

69
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: seven on the year, which is incredible. They're beating good teams,

70
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: granted the Rockies weren't one of them, but things are

71
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: looking back to normal for the Mets, and they started

72
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: off in Game one, Francisco Lindor going off doing what

73
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: he does best, hitting home runs, playing well at home.

74
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: That guy loves playing at Cityfield, which.

75
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Is so funny because if you go back to what

76
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: he started, who's the thumbs down guy, and now he's

77
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: the most loved player on this team possibly and he

78
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: loves playing in front of city field crowd. It's past

79
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: the energy and playing in front of the cityfield crowd.

80
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: He just I don't think there's any person, athlete, man

81
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: in the world that loves their family more than Francisco Lindor.

82
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: And when he knows that his wife and his kids

83
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: are near him, he just gets a surge of energy

84
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: that's completely unstoppable, and he's just he's the man that

85
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: game on Friday Night, he the lead off home run

86
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: that's set the tone. And then he's somehow and some

87
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: way now somehow in some way, because he's done it

88
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: five times, he's tied the Mets record. Hit the home

89
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: runs from each side the plate. That is one of

90
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: the coolest things you can do in all the sports.

91
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: Have the precision hand, die coordination day, the home runs

92
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: lefty and a righty inside the same game.

93
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: It's magnificent.

94
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's one of

95
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: the coolest things you can do in SPORTSA.

96
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: I think it is.

97
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: I think that's your hot take. I'm not going to

98
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: go there. I think there's other things that you could

99
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: do in baseball that are still cooler. It is cool, though,

100
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: because not many guys get the opportunity to do that,

101
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: because not everybody's a switch hitter, and to hit two

102
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: home runs in one game is hard unless you're one.

103
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: So to do it for both sides is cool. I

104
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: will back off it being one of the coolest things.

105
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was just nice. He's swinging the bat

106
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: so much better. Shout out to us talking about James,

107
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: I think word for word was like the guy I'm

108
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: most concerned about swing right now, based on the underlying numbers,

109
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: is Francisco Indoor, What.

110
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: Does he do this two runs?

111
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: The next day, Carls Mondoz had a great quote about

112
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: how well Indoor swinging the bat right now too. He said,

113
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: when you see him going, especially from the left side,

114
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: going to left center like that, that's when he's clicking.

115
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: We do see that.

116
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: A lot of to ask from Phaciscal Indoors, just keeping

117
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: that shoulder in being able to drive that opposite field pitch. Also,

118
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: the first one running this game, I mentioned that the

119
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: five home runs from both sides to play ti Carls

120
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: Beltron's club record. The first one run for Ciscol Indoor

121
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: hitting this game brought him to twelfth all time in

122
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: Mets home runs, passing at Guardo Alfonso. And that is

123
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: incomprehensible to me. Think about how quickly the last five

124
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: years have gone by Franciscool Indoors. Are they someone that's

125
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: climbing the Mets record books. Yeah, and I mean he's

126
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: climbing the Mets record books. He's climbing, climbing the shortstop

127
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: record books. I think he's like fourth all.

128
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: Time amongst shortstops minimum fifty percent games. What was that

129
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: crazy stat for most.

130
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: Home runs fifty percent of games shortstops fourth, Hormos Everett.

131
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: I think he tied or went ahead of gither over

132
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: this past weekend as well, But those stats keep a

133
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: rout on them. I hate when people pars out to

134
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: shortstop stats to how much you played in your career,

135
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: because it's like he wasn't shortopped the last eight years

136
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: of it. Most like his power production when Joe Mauer

137
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: got put into the Hall of Fame as a catcher

138
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: despite playing first base in DH for the last ten

139
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: years of his career. So you know, it's whatever fits

140
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: the narrative, that's what people like to go with. But

141
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: he's playing extremely well. The defenses look sharp two Over

142
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: the last week or so, he's been playing much better

143
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: there and it's cool to see too that. On the

144
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: pitching side of things, David Peterson didn't have his best

145
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: stuff necessarily again, but he's just a good pitcher now.

146
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: And we've been saying this all season long. He goes

147
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: out there gives them Mets a chance to win every

148
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: single time he's on the mound. I'm not gonna say

149
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: I love watching David Peterson pitch, because I think that

150
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: would be a bit of a stretch. But I feel comfortable,

151
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: and that's something I never thought i'd be able to

152
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: say about David Peterson. We talk about a lot with

153
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: pitchers and their maturation. That's just it takes longer for

154
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: a pitcher to mature than a position player because a

155
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: position player, you're so much driven by your athleticism and

156
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: your raw talent, where a pitcher's just there's so much

157
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: more mental and so much more consistency, repeating mechanics and

158
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. It's amazing to see the way

159
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: that Peterson's.

160
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: Improved his floor over the last couple years, last.

161
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: Basically year calendar years since he came back from the

162
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: hip thing, which is basically the last two weeks of

163
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: May in twenty twenty four. Like, that's the difference for him,

164
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: where there's no longer the spiraling out of control. He

165
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: doesn't really slump his shoulders anymore. He finds his way

166
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: out of jams basically at will. He did get bailed out,

167
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: and I think it was about the second third inning

168
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: of this game, with the bases load the two outs.

169
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: I think McMahon hit a hot shot and the door

170
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 4: snagged it.

171
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: I think it was Tyro Estrada in his first game

172
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: as a rocky I think it was tyro'strota could call

173
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: him that, but he snagged it and that kind of

174
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: saved saved a couple runs, at least two runs, if

175
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: not more. And then the next thing after that, the

176
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Mets tacked on. They tacked on again in the fourth

177
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: and that was kind of what helped us kind of

178
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: relax and be able to chill out in this game.

179
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 2: But that fall gets through.

180
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: We probably talked about the start very differently, but it

181
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: was a good job by Peterson to get not.

182
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 4: Have his best stuff, but still pitch a really, really

183
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: really good game.

184
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: Before going into Diavid Pearson a little bit more. Tyro

185
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: Estrada got shot, right, that was the thing.

186
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: I I, what the fuck are you talking about? Didn't

187
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: he like get shot as a prospect, like shot with

188
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: a gun?

189
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: I think you're so making this up. I'm looking it

190
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: up right now. Is this a Joey krus situation? Someone's

191
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: waiting from outside and stamps him on the way of

192
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the bus. I'm gonna look, Tyro Astrata, there's no way

193
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: this happened. Tyro Astroda recovering from a gun shot wound

194
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: inteen I was shot.

195
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I knew that, I knew it wasn't crazy. Yeah.

196
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: In January twenty eighteen, while I was hometown in Venezuela,

197
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: Estrada was shot in his right hip by robbers in

198
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: a robbery attempt. Doctors were who performed the surgery were

199
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: unable to remove the bullet from his hip. He still

200
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: has the bullet in his hip.

201
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: He's playing baseball. Bullet in his hip.

202
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it was only removed in July, six months later.

203
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: He was hanging around with a bullet in his hip

204
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: for six months. That's incredible. He played minor league baseball

205
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: games the bullet inside his him. Yeah, that's incredible. My

206
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: bad for doubting you, because that was a crazy pull that.

207
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: That was really good podcasting right there. Back to David Peterson,

208
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: though we talked about this all the time last year,

209
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: the Mets basically won every game that David Peterson started.

210
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: This year, the Mets are eight and three and David

211
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: Peterson starts. He's four and two on the season, and

212
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: the games that they lost David Peterson, the Mets loss

213
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: the Yankees eight to two. He went six innings, gave

214
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: up one earn run, not his fault. The game against

215
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: the Arizona Diamondbacks that they lost. He went six innings,

216
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: gave up tour in runs, they lost five to one.

217
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: They didn't hit.

218
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: And then the game against the A's early in the

219
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: year in Sacramento, he went six innings, gave up tour

220
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: and runs, the Mets lost three to one. So he's

221
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: literally pitching just winning baseball every single time. The eras

222
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: down to two point six y nine the fippest, fantastic

223
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: for people who care about those numbers as well.

224
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: He's just a good pitcher.

225
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy, like, where would this team be without David Peterson.

226
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: He's a guy who he's coming up in free agency

227
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven.

228
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: He keeps us up. He has to be back on

229
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: this team for a while. That's crazy thing about it.

230
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: Francisco Indoor Climbing thes Mets Leader Boys and David Theaters said,

231
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: approaching free agency, what kind of contract? I can't believe

232
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: for having either of those conversations. This was also so

233
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: impressive for Pusing because he again, like we alluded to

234
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: it before, he didn't have anything close to his best

235
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: stuff nor his best command. Like this was a lineup

236
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: that the Rocky stacked with Rdy's I think it was

237
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: eight out of nine right handed batters, and you were

238
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: hoping that Peterson would use the opportunity to go to

239
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: a change up more often. He had no command to that.

240
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: You going through nine in the whole game. It's the

241
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: least least throwing pitch. But usually what he does the

242
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: circumvent that he gets right handed batters, he takes that

243
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: like nice litt ty slider and he buries it in

244
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: the back foot. He couldn't do that either. He missed

245
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: almost every single time he tried to throw that pitch.

246
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: So really it just became a lot of David Peterson

247
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: fastballs and sinkers, pulling them wherever he could to miss

248
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: the bats and the curveball. Again, something's been a huge

249
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 1: deal for David Peterson this year, kind of being that

250
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: new weapon from against right handed batterers has come has

251
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: come forward. That was the pitch who relied on through

252
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: those middle innings in that game when he was in

253
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: trouble and passed the David Peerson shoutout Wasscar brosubon. Because

254
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: Peterson did leave in the middle of a jam. He

255
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: couldn't get through that sixth inning and Brasebon got out

256
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: of it. So it's just it's a it's a team effort,

257
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: as it has been all year, but just that this Friday,

258
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: the game really felt teemy. Yeah no, why, I mean,

259
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: wasscar Brosbon stepping up for them was huge. He's been

260
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: so good this year too. It's insane to say all

261
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: out and again, it does help that you are playing

262
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: what could be the worst team inaball history. Yeah, it's

263
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: sad how bad the Rockies are because a lot of

264
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: baseball teams are really bad the last couple of years.

265
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: Like it's very telling that every single year we have

266
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: this new worst team baseball history that comes around. But

267
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: the difference is that a lot of these teams are

268
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: bad on purpose. Like the Marlins few years ago were

269
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: bad on purpose. The White Sox last year were bad

270
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: on purpose. They ripped their team apart from the seams.

271
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: And so we're gonna suck ass until we can get

272
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: any kind of talent possible. The Rockies are being bad

273
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: by accident. They just don't know what they're doing. They

274
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: have a team where they think this, they think they're

275
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: doing things well, like I'm pretty sure the director of

276
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: analytics we've referenced this before is one of the owner's sons, like,

277
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: this is what happens here.

278
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: There's people in that organization.

279
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: And you guys should read Jake Mitz starticle on Yaho's

280
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: Sports kind of talking about how the Rockies have gone

281
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: to this point over the last few years where it's

282
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: like we did. I think we mentioned in the preview

283
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: there's people working in that organization who were in their

284
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: roles in the baseball ops department before the team ever

285
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: played the game. So in the early nineties, I think

286
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: you can look around the basically every other team in

287
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: baseball and there's almost no one who's like an underlaying

288
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: that's been with the organization for thirty some years. I

289
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: think Cashman is the only one who's probably been with

290
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: the team that long, and.

291
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: He's he's been really good at evolving.

292
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: I think that was that's one of the things Brian

293
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: Cashman has done the best in his long tenure with

294
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: the Yankees. But the Rockies are so incompetent and they

295
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: can't believe that they're unable to win or succeed. Yet

296
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: they'd make almost every single wrong decision you could possibly make,

297
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: and they do spend money like their payrolls aren't low.

298
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: This is not White Sox peril. This is not a

299
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: Marlins peril.

300
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: It's not Pirates payroll where it's like, oh, if you

301
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: can before the extra million dollars into your guys corner outfield,

302
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: you'd probably be a playoff team.

303
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: The Rockies try to spend money.

304
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: They try, so they give signed high market relievers and

305
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: they just still suck and they're they're like, never going

306
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: to stop sucking until this changes.

307
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 5: FT fan by now you know, if you're buying, selling, trading,

308
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 5: collecting cards, Arena Club is the spot. We've been talking

309
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 5: about them all season long. But I do want to

310
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 5: focus on the slab pack experience, Crats, since you've been

311
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: ripping some slab packs digitally and what happens.

312
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 6: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open

313
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 6: the packs. How can they do this digitally? Oh baby,

314
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 6: this is exciting. How the graphics come out and everything,

315
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 6: and oh yeah, the card that you pull you can

316
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 6: actually get that John physically, so it's perfect. It's all

317
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 6: in one place and it's a super exciting experience.

318
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, they send that to you from the vault if

319
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 5: you want it, but if you look at it and

320
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 5: you're like, it's not the card for me. I want

329
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: I remember from that article they were like Dick Mondfort like,

330
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: can't believe how bad they are. I'm like, I love

331
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: the idea of Dick Mondford and his family sitting at

332
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: dinner and they're like, how is this happening? How can

333
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: we be with the worst team ever. It's like, dude,

334
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: this roster is horrendous. They're just they're such a bad team.

335
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: We saw baseball played poorly all weekend by them, and this.

336
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: Was just a statard baseball.

337
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: We're playing again next week, We're playing the next week.

338
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we should beat the piss out of them too.

339
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: Then it doesn't matter, like I won't show them respect.

340
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: I won't do They are able to lose close like

341
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the series was close. The series they

342
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: just got swept by the clubs was also close. They

343
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: had just it's just six straight losses and for them

344
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: with two runs are fewer. That is it's like, boy,

345
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: that far is hard and again like some of these

346
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: relievers are good. And it says how when Seth Halverson

347
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: came into that game a boy on Friday night, who

348
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: is your boy? Shotout you for that call. Keith was

349
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: gushing over him. You know, Keith is really in a

350
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: was Friday night. He's always really into a pitcher reliever.

351
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: When he starts to reverence their legs, Oh yeah, he's like, oh,

352
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: Salverson is really strong down there. But something else that

353
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: was cool, and Halverson came in. Brett Bady came into

354
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: pinching from Mark Fiento's As we keep getting the falling

355
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: and falling of Mark Fientos and his team, it's happening fast.

356
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: Bathy turns around a hundred and our fastball and Seth

357
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: Halverson ropes it for a single to the right fielder.

358
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: It's like, oh wow, Brett Baty's now suddenly pulling hundred

359
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: mile and hour fastballs. Like that's just a continuation development

360
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: of Brett Baity and also Edmund Disna's game pitch against

361
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: Sunday locked it down again, but as of Friday, he

362
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: had thrown almost a perfect game. He'd thrown a no

363
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: hither because he had gone nine straight appearances, nine and

364
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: third innings, pitched, twelve strikeouts, four walks.

365
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: It's insane.

366
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: And then you add you add now ten innings when

367
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: you had Sunday start, and he's up to I think

368
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: there's two more strikeouts that game and no walks, Like

369
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: it's it's stupid. He's been able to do for the

370
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: last month plus, like since he's kind of aligned himself

371
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: and got together here. Yeah, I mean, we'll talk about

372
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: it more in game three. But it's so funny how

373
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: as soon as the guy got in scoring position Edwin's

374
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: like time to lock in adrenaline junkie right into my

375
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: veins at the exact moment He's like, now I'm through

376
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: every single pitch exactly where it's going to be.

377
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: And who tweet? Did you show me?

378
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 4: It was Sny was a pitching ninja who just cut

379
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: up every single.

380
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Oh I think it was s and Y. They just

381
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: cut up the strikeouts of everybody. On Game three, and

382
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and it was like, oh my god, these

383
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: are unhittable pitches. He's at such a level of locked

384
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: in that we haven't seen in a while where you

385
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: you it's over. He comes into the game this past

386
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: week or so of these past ten, you cannot do

387
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: anything against him. And we were sitting for Sunday's game

388
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: the third base side where Marquess is, Marcus his seats,

389
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: the season tickets shot a season ticket holders out there everywhere,

390
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: and so when you're sitting on the third base side,

391
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: you have a really great, unique vantage point of the

392
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: right handed pitchers. And we were just marveling at the

393
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: fact that the boy the boys had fun night Saturday.

394
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: So you know, some of the thoughts in this game

395
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: weren't exactly the most coherent, but we were marveling the

396
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: fact that when Edwin Diaz pitches, the way he extends

397
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: down the mound and the way he's able to just

398
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: whip his right arm through it's like he's releasing the

399
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: ball like basically over where the lip is between the

400
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: dirt and the grass on the pitcher's mound. It's just

401
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: amazing the extension he gets, and like the way his

402
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: back again like it's that whip, that whip, how he

403
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: comes through his own with it's it's amazing to watch

404
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: that guy pitch. When they talk about extension on baseball,

405
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: savan seven point three, I'm assuming that's seven point three

406
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: feet of extension.

407
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think that's from the mound.

408
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, ninety six percentile on extension with that fastball, with

409
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: that slider, it's pretty pretty unbelievable to think that anyone

410
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: ever gets hits off this guy like they do sometimes.

411
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: No and obligatory, we have to shout out Starling Marte

412
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: in the lineup, hitting six against a lefty Kyle Freeland

413
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: and murder.

414
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: Of four hundred and thirty foot home run.

415
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: All right, I got a hot take. Shout out Chris.

416
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: I saw him on the subway back. He always comments

417
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: about Starling Marte on our YouTube comments, that's his guy.

418
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: Marte has been playing some decent baseball, has been ing well,

419
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: but getting on basin stealing, which is also like that

420
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: version of Marte. That's what we want. Happy to see

421
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: him play like that. If he's going to get on

422
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: base and he's going to run. What we saw were

423
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: in the was old man Starling Marte, who was not

424
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: doing anything, and he's getting these roles in positions that

425
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: he's more likely to succeed because especially Friday night and

426
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: then Sunday as well, he's in the lineup against the leftie.

427
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: Like if Starling Marte can be the lefty Maager and

428
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: play just good enough left field to not be the

429
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: worst outfielder in baseball and steel bases once in a while,

430
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: like this probably still is a guy who's going to

431
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: wind up the end of the year with a seven

432
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven thirty ops.

433
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 4: Again, like that's that's not what you want.

434
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: For twenty million dollars as a part time player, But

435
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: in terms of how he could fill in this roster,

436
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: it's now becoming a DH competition on with the Lefti's

437
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: around the mound between Starling Marte and Mark Fiento's. Yeah,

438
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: which is a crazy that's a great magic we had

439
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: that if you told you guys we'd be having that

440
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: conversation in June.

441
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: Back in February, Yeah, I.

442
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Mean it really sucks that all offseason we talked about

443
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: how worried we were about Mark Fieto's going into the season,

444
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: and specifically you catching a lot of flak from people

445
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: online being like, I just don't know how sticky it

446
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: was with how good he was last year counting numbers wise,

447
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: performance wise, I don't know if it translates, And right

448
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: now really wish he had an option, because that's a

449
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: guy who needs to get down and just figure it out.

450
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: Mentally, physically, mechanically.

451
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: Everything is so broken with Mark Vento's and I hate

452
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: to sound like a broken record because I think we

453
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: talk about it once a week, but it's not getting better,

454
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: and I don't know when it's going to and I

455
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: don't know how it gets better. Yeah, shout out the

456
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: famous feud between Billy Eppler and Buck Showalter, when you

457
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: know Eppler wanted to play Vento's and Buck was like,

458
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: I want to play Luis Kiormet.

459
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: But that could be a story for another day, but.

460
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: It's Carls Mendoza addressed this specifically and some media availability.

461
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: I believe it was Thursday or Friday when someone asked

462
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 4: about Vivento's.

463
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: They said that he believes his slump is more defensive,

464
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: and that's kind of just dragging down his whole mindset.

465
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 4: Right now, we talked a lot about Vento's.

466
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talked about Vanto's last week a lot when

467
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: we did the full team hitting breakdown, where right now

468
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Fianto's has a long and slow swing. You can't really

469
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: marry those two things and be successful and letting the

470
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: ball get deeper than it ever has. It seems like

471
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: Viento's tried to trade some power for contact, which first

472
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: bad idea second, it hasn't helped.

473
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: He's not making more contact and he's lost the power.

474
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: So he either has to figure out the way to

475
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: get his swing mechanics back to where they were last

476
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: year or he's I mean again nothings. We're not going

477
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: to cut Mark Vento's helping out of my league. He's

478
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: staying on this roster, but he's becoming someone that is

479
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: it's difficult to justify playing every day at this point,

480
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't really know how you can, honestly, especially

481
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: when our boy Brett baty Brett the bag so good

482
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: I mean defensively, we know he's awesome. What we saw

483
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: him make a bunch of plays on Sunday in person,

484
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: and he's just so smooth over there, there's never a

485
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: doubt when the balls hit his way. But then go

486
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: to Game two comes in with that huge basic clearing

487
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: triple early on the game.

488
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

489
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: The Mets just it was nice to see them face

490
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: Antonio sens a Tella, who throws seemingly ninety percent fastballs

491
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: right down the middle, and we're just like, hey, wait,

492
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: eight hit, seven runs, thank you very much.

493
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: You suck and the game.

494
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say there was like a tenuous

495
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: moment in this game because we kind of just crush

496
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: them and walked to a victory. But after Ezekiel Tavar

497
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: hits the home run the first inning, and I was

498
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: ever worried about by the saying. And again after Ezekiel

499
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: tovar home run, the Rockies literally did nothing against him.

500
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: That was of course a hit being a home run

501
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: and a hard hit ball being a home run. After that,

502
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: he got all the way to the seventh inning, the

503
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: Rockets only had one more hit and three more hard

504
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: hit balls.

505
00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 4: He was incredible.

506
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: But you don't want to we had a basis lot

507
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: of no out opportunity the bomb that first sitting after

508
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: giving up a first shitting home run. You don't want

509
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: to let an opportunity like that be squandered and give

510
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: a team like the Rockies the chance to believe they

511
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: can win well, their tenth win, their tenth game of

512
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: the season, and in the last day of May. But

513
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: for Baby to step up and get the two al

514
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: Arbi hit one at the time still I remember, but

515
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't remember smash the triple over Brenton Doyle, who

516
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: wasn't as impressive defensively as I think he's made out

517
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: to be this year. Here's my hot take, and I

518
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: want people who actually have this information that are listening

519
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: to this to correct me if I'm wrong. But I've

520
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: had this opinion with specifically when the A's used to

521
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: play in Oakland and when the Rocky's playing Coors. Brenton

522
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: Doyle is a phenomenal athlete. I think there's no doubt about.

523
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: He's got a canon of an arm and the dude

524
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: covers a ton of ground. I think he gets a

525
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: little OAA juice because the outfield is so big and

526
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: catch probability wise, He's just making plays that a lot

527
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: of guys just physically can't make because of space. So

528
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see if that's the thing I had

529
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: that when they were in Oakland, I was like Matt

530
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: Chapman's catching balls that you physically can't stadium. So I

531
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: wonder if this has anything to do with even the

532
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: absurdly high OaaS they're obviously still great fielders. Yeah, great, incredible,

533
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: But it is the difference between Brenton Doyle, who I

534
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: think one Sports Info Solutions Platinum Glove Award they give

535
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: out every single year last year is like the best

536
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: metrically reraaded defender in baseball. But he's again, while I

537
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: think he is good, like, he's definitely one of the

538
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: few bright spots in this Rockies team that was not

539
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: a great player in that ball I think I think

540
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: someone like Michael Harris, like some of the best interviewers

541
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: in baseball, even Tyron Taylor, might get to that ball

542
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: and stop that rally, but he didn't. That's all that matters,

543
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: and re based standing out third base with through on

544
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: triple and he's oddly become the guy that we're comfortable

545
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: with and we're relying on with runs of scoring position.

546
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: I wanted to look.

547
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: I always tell you guys how much I hate using

548
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: a stat like war and a short sample. It's one

549
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: of my least favorite things on baseball to where they're

550
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: in baseball.

551
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: What about scoring position, I think that's the reallyst favorite thing.

552
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: I think both of these two might be tired for

553
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: my favorite thing when people talk about the differences in

554
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: one decimal point of war. But I want to do

555
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: it in this sense just because I don't think there's

556
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: no better way to have like an amalgamation of value

557
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: for a short period of time. Because Brett Bay came

558
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: back up on May seventh, Since then he is second

559
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: on this Mets team in war Francisco and Door had

560
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: in the for the month of May or some May sevenths.

561
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: Right now, Junie first fristcal Indoor is worth one win

562
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: Fan grafts Brett Bay's zero point seven.

563
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: Wow, it's good.

564
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: And another one would be like this, Brett Baty has

565
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: a nine hundred ops in that time too, like that

566
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: more I like that album more.

567
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that tells me everything I need to know

568
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: right there.

569
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, But it's just it goes to show how incredibly

570
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: important this guy's been to his team over the last

571
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: month and now he's an elite baseball player on both

572
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. And me again, I think that

573
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: there is going to be some variants in Brett Bady's

574
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: and Brett Bay at the plate. He still is not

575
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: making tons of contact at least he's freakout races low.

576
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: But the fact that he's not able to draw his

577
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: walks not able to kind of like when this quality

578
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: of contact dips down, as it will for anyone whenever

579
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: they go up between hot and cold. He's still not

580
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: drawing walks and being he's being more patient for sure,

581
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: but still not like that peak level of patients that,

582
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: like the best hitters in baseball will show you. Just

583
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: there will be a cold streak of course, Governed Baity

584
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: just want to put that out there. But as of

585
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: right now, again he's won. He's actually somehow one of

586
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: the most support players in this team.

587
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: The weather is warming up up, and with that being said,

588
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 5: you need to check out what Roeback is bringing to

589
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 5: the table. If you're a golfer especially and you're looking

590
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 5: for golf shirts that just have the perfect style and

591
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 5: also are soft. They're lightweight and perfect for the summertime,

592
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 5: Roeback is the spot.

593
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: Of course.

594
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 5: FT's hooking you up with the code for twenty percent

595
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 5: off at rowback dot com. That's foul on r ho

596
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 5: bac k dot com for twenty percent off all shorts, hoodies,

597
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 5: Polos and more.

598
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: Shout out Brandon Nimo, shout out Wan Sodo, back to

599
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: back home runs. Nimo was celebrating with Lenor in the

600
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: dugout and then all of a sudden, Sodo hits, and

601
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: you see them they're like pointing, shout out again, s

602
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: and Y forgetting the awesome, awesome shots that they do.

603
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: They're like, oh my god, get.

604
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: Back to back pitches like shot, pointing out, screaming Sodo,

605
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: running around the bases, swing the.

606
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: Battle lot better. This is a good got better listen.

607
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: It helps when you face double A pitching, for sure

608
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: that that helps a lot. But whatever gets him right mentally,

609
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: and it seems like this series maybe could be something

610
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: that we look forward to with Jan Soda where he

611
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: just got to take a deep breath and be like,

612
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm so good at hitting. Watch what

613
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: I can do. That home run he absolutely smoked the

614
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: left center again. I mean it was a three day

615
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: period one, so the razors ops by like thirty points.

616
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: He's up to back seven ninety almost eight hundred. The

617
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: home runs back to back days are amazing. Drawing the

618
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: walks he's still doing like he's hitting the ball hard

619
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: every way I don't think there's any There's never any

620
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: down in this podcast, of course from one so though,

621
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: weirdly there was a little kid behind this in the

622
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: stands on Sunday heckling, so though wearing all Range, wearing

623
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: all mets up. I think he was a coverd Yankee fan.

624
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: He asked his mom point blank. He was like, mom,

625
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: is one solo was sellout? And the mom goes yester

626
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: year sold right out for the money. And I was like, what,

627
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: he's a professional athlete. Like, if someone offered you two

628
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: to three times your salary of work, would you take

629
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: the job or not?

630
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: If it was in the same city, Like, god.

631
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: There's very few things I wouldn't do for seven hundred

632
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: and sixty five million dollars, very few, very few. But

633
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: I it's just he's looked very nice, very comfortable. Again

634
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: just shout out COVII. Not an the IRA podcast, but

635
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: at one point sixty ra and June first is fucking incredible.

636
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: I do believe that is the lowest a mung qualified sorters.

637
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: Nice. That's cy Young twenty twenty five, So why not?

638
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: Why not?

639
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'll I'm ready to pump those tires

640
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: and get some love for Coda. He's been he's been incredible.

641
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: And again it's we say this every episode. I still

642
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 1: think there's more. I still think there's more to come

643
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: anymore to think, which I don't think he's hit his

644
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: groove yet. Truthfully, that might that might be crazy to

645
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: say and crazy to year, but I do think there's

646
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: a lot of things that Sanka can do better, Like

647
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: I think he can still be figuring out those breaking

648
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: balls more. It's still just a slider, sweeper, curveball are

649
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: all kind of nonsense. He had that sinker that he

650
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: flashed in the spring training. He has not really been

651
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: able to bring that back this year, the splinker, but

652
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: just that ghost fork is is, pound for pound, one

653
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: of the three or four best pitches in all baseball.

654
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: When you have that, it's very succeed and he's doing

655
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot more on top. But he's just he's awesome.

656
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: He's I'm so happy he's on this team. And I'm

657
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: so happy that opt out didn't kicking because he missed

658
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: all of last year and now we get you code

659
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: that Sanaga for the next three years, which is crazy. Also,

660
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: Jose Boole feel like might be getting over the hump.

661
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: A little bit, a tiny bit, it does feel like it.

662
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: He's he's now gotten out of a couple of consecutive jams,

663
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: and he came on with Harry the runners on base.

664
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: He got swinging miss with all four of his different

665
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: pitches on Saturday.

666
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 2: It was ton the slives. What he's doing is.

667
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: Just spamming, spamming, spamming, spamming, spamming that slider. I think

668
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: the team is like, this is your best pitch. He

669
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: can throw any change up in that game on Saturday,

670
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: which is crazy to think about who Jose Boulou was

671
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: and now who he's becoming as a as a reliever.

672
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: But it's I feel like we're getting over hump a

673
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: little bit here. Also shout Jeff McNeil. This is a

674
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil podcast. We've been telling you all year. It's

675
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: a good baseball player. Nice home run in that game

676
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: against Colorado. Definitely gonna be having the conversation about, like,

677
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: like why didn't he play against Carson palm Quist. That

678
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: I may be trying to get Acunya going, because, like

679
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: you said, he'd be like the fifth best starter.

680
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: In Double A Binghamton right now, Carson Pomquist.

681
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: But like I would love to see Jeff play more,

682
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: especially against lefties. Like I don't really think there's a

683
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: big lefty lefty problem with Jeff just from eye test

684
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: type thing. Or Carson Pomquist who went out there saying

685
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: through sixty percent and nine to one mile to narrow fastballs,

686
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: I think that in terms of getting But again, I

687
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: think that's a good thing for Akunya. Here's a fastball

688
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: pitcher that you're gonna see. Well, that's probably not as

689
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: good as most of the pitchers you faced in the

690
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: minor leagues.

691
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 4: And no, no hate for Carson pop Quiz just strike

692
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 4: got a career hight.

693
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: In this game. He was don't even know how it's possible.

694
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: I tell you this.

695
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: Carson Pomkus was feeling himself, only had four hard hit

696
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: ball against him. He was not the reason the rock.

697
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: He's lost this game on Sunday afternoon. But I yeah,

698
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: there's going to be a conversation about Louis and Helicooney

699
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: soon because we see every single day Rynan Mariso is

700
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: tearing the cover off the ball in triple A to

701
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: the point where it's like becoming laughable. He's got five

702
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: hundred bating average a week, he's already smoked three or

703
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: four home runs. And there's a great note here from

704
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: Eli ben Peratt, who does some work him for Baseball

705
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: in America, and he's talked about the fact that there's

706
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: been a transformation in a lot of Ronnie Mariso's bad

707
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: at ball quality where he's now for the first time

708
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: ever as a professional, lifting the ball.

709
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: Consistently, which is scary.

710
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, standard deviation for launch angle has jumped up, as

711
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: average lone angle has jumped up. I mean santy Vasis

712
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: has jumped up, but it's created a size that's much

713
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: more reminist of guy who's going to lift the ball.

714
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: And if he's doing that in the minor leagues, he

715
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: can carry that to the major leagues. Then all bets

716
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: are off with Rydan Marisio. Then Ryan Mariso is someone

717
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: who has some of the best raw power in the

718
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: league and he consistently hits the ball in the air,

719
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: and he's good enough athlete to play multiple infield positions.

720
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: Now you have a dude, and we're probably about a

721
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: week or two away from having to decide whether or

722
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: not him or Louisa hell Cooney is more worth more

723
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: worthy of that roster spot. Yeah, I would be shocked

724
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: if Acunya continues to play like this through La and Colorado,

725
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: if we see him for that next home stand, I

726
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: think there's a very good chance he could be in Syracuse.

727
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: He's just he's not playing well.

728
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: He's playing great defensively, awesome little fielder at second base,

729
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: but when you're not barreling up the ball at all,

730
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: I thinks one barrel this year when the quality of

731
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: contact is really really soft.

732
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: It's just it's hard.

733
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: To slot a guy in the lineup like that, especially

734
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: when right now the big thing that he's bringing his

735
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: glove and speed, and Ronnie Marisio can do both of

736
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: those things seemingly not at the same level at all.

737
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: I don't think he's fast though, is it Ronnie fast?

738
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: He's he's fast, He's not fast like Luis Hlacunya is

739
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: fast like I think Ronnie is like because Ronnie's again

740
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 1: we talked abou him all the time.

741
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: He's like an NFL.

742
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: Obviously the glove is not the same, but the speeds,

743
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: but the glove's still fine. Like Ronnie.

744
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: I think Ronnie can play second base, and Ronnie has

745
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: a cannon. Not saying that not saying that the Kunei

746
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: doesn't have a good arm, but Ronnie can throw it.

747
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: Oh yea, Mo's getting crushed by the Yankees. Look at

748
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: that bend ben Rice Rose with.

749
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: The home run.

750
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: It's just that there will be a conversation. I do

751
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: know the Mets are certainly trying to be careful with

752
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: the Kunya. They want him to maintain that option. It

753
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: makes him more valuable player to have that minor league options,

754
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: so they can still kind of play around with it.

755
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: Send down for a few weeks, because I know Matt

756
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: that he gave us a note a few weeks ago

757
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: that if you go down for twenty days or fewer,

758
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: you preserve that option like Brett Bayty's done, which is awesome.

759
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: But again I don't you're not getting You're not gonna

760
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: convince me to send back down the minor league and soon.

761
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: But now we see it right now with a guy

762
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: like Mark Viento's where when things are still unsteady as

763
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: things always are with young players, because project development is

764
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: not linear.

765
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: Say it to you guys all the time.

766
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: It helps these guys sometimes to be like I just

767
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: the ability to send someone down for a little while

768
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: without without risking their their loss in your roster is important.

769
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: It's hard to make adjustments at the major league level,

770
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: pretty much impossible to do, especially when as of right

771
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: now for guy like Panto's not doing anything well, hitting well,

772
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: fielding well. We saw him hit that nice doubledout on Sunday,

773
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: and just watching watch more fiantos run around the basis

774
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: as a twenty he must he might be the slowest

775
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: twenty five year old on Earth because watching him chug

776
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: around first base, they're putting stamp his feet into the ground.

777
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 4: I'm just like, dude, how is this happening?

778
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, while still being a world class athlete some of

779
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: the best hand eye coordination on the planet. Yeah, No,

780
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: I mean when things click and that one hundred and

781
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: ten mile an hour line drive, you're like, oh my god,

782
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: look there's what you get excited about. And then you

783
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: see the at bats where he takes three pitches right

784
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: down the minute, You're like, I want to know what

785
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: your thought process was. There was a two to o

786
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: pitch to him from Carson palm Quist, left handed, coming

787
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: inside on him.

788
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: Don't like that phrasing. Yeah whatever, I said it all right.

789
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: He came in on the two O pitch to Mark

790
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: Fiento s at ninety one miles an hour, and he

791
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: got beat and fouled it off to like the right

792
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: side of first base. I'm like, dude, what is your approach?

793
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? That tells me that it's

794
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: not just even a mechanical issue, it's a mental thing.

795
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: He has no clue what he's looking for. It seems

796
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: like he's going up there and just guessing at this point,

797
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: which of course it's a mental thing. When we saw

798
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: our fans playing his best baseball last year was it

799
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: was high emotion. It was high energy, like it was

800
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: a guy who was like, I'm locked in, I can't

801
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: wait to hit and right now. That was just not

802
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: that version of him. But like you said, it's hard

803
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: to make adjustments in major league level. But I think

804
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: this we kind of saw a big changing of the

805
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: guard in this series because on Friday against left tender Picture,

806
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Mark Vanz was hitting second and he stunted the lineup,

807
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: stunted multiple.

808
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: Rallies, bad defensive place. Yeah.

809
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: On Sunday against leave nd the Picture, he's down to

810
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: seventh in the order and he did get that double.

811
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: But it's just it's it's very obvious right now that

812
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: he's not someone that's able to help the team of

813
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: the day and day out basis. Someone does help the

814
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: team every single time they're on the field. Fucking Clay Holmes.

815
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: I know, dog, what an animal this guy is. Remember

816
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: when I said he'd be an All Star? You just

817
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: look it really fucking likely at this point seven innings,

818
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: first time as a star. The lay Holmes his career.

819
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: Pitching into the seventh inning and then completing the seventh inning.

820
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: The growth is amazing and he only eighty five pitches.

821
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: I think the only reason he actually got polled was

822
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: because he somehow gave up home runs to Landarcia and

823
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Freeman and they were coming up again and crossing

824
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: those like I don't want to let Clay Holmes face

825
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: the big bad duo of Orlandarcia and Tyler Freeman again,

826
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: so he came out for that. But it's just monster

827
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: animal like, it's just sinker, sinker, sinker, sinker. It's such

828
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: an uncomfortable at bat. He does so many things well

829
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: and this was a big return for Clay Holmes this

830
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: game with his sweeper because the Rockies have a very

831
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: right handed, heavy lineup we hadn't seen, yes, hasn't seen

832
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: throw as much of that recently. That was his most

833
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: whift on pitch twelve twelve whists on four swings, got

834
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: multiple swings and misses with four different pitches including his

835
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: changeup that he only threw six times, got three swings

836
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: and two of them were swings and misses, which is

837
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: just it's the bag of tricks he has now is amazing.

838
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: And i'ven't reference to you during the start that he'd like,

839
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: oh wow, he's throwing his his tight his gyro slider

840
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: more too, the pitch he's had and kind of got

841
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: away from a little bit this year. So it's just

842
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: a lot of great things together for Clay Holmes, Like,

843
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: it's amazing the confidence I have in this guy every

844
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: fifth day. Yes, and it helps too. When Francisco Indoor

845
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: Wan Soto Pete Alonzo home running the same day, Yes,

846
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: they did it, finally, love it. Pete smoked that ball

847
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: to right field that was like for an opposite field

848
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: home run in the city field. I don't remember a

849
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: ball that was hit kind of as well as I

850
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: think he hit like four to ten to right center field,

851
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: which is crazy. I know, the wind was blowing out,

852
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: but immediately off the bat you stood about your seat

853
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: like that's gone, and there was no doubt it was

854
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: an absolute shot. I was the first person in the

855
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: ballpark standing up for that home run.

856
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: The second hit, I was like, yeah, you.

857
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 4: Get that ball got so high.

858
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: I like how they flashed them the apex feet on

859
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: the city field board.

860
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 4: I'm trying to check her right now on baseball.

861
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: Think it was like a one hundred ball.

862
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: I think that was the eggs of last I want

863
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: to see how high the ball got where they have that, Yeah,

864
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: got to one hundred and twenty feet in the air,

865
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: thirty four degree lunch angle to right center field for

866
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: a hundred twenty feet high for four hundred ten foot

867
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: home run.

868
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 4: Just for comparison's sake, I want.

869
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: To load the episodos right now, baseball, which was just

870
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: a little a piss rocket about an inch off the ground,

871
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: that only got fifty nine feet in the air and

872
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: twenty two degree lunch angle, which is again it's very

873
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: different kind of hit, the very different kind of swings.

874
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: Those two half they're both amazing players also, Pete. So

875
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: those home run got out four point three seconds. How

876
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: long is Pete's in the air five point nine seconds,

877
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: stang almost twenty five percent long, and so those home

878
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: run Pete, But it's just that was a It was

879
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: nice to all three of those guys hit home runs.

880
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: Now you're like, oh, this is how it's supposed to

881
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: look and feel. Yeah, Wan Soto's swinging on one knee,

882
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: looking like Adrian Beltre out there. It was such a

883
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: sick swing too, despite even finishing on his knee. We

884
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: saw the slow mo angle again on the train back

885
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: from the game, and I was like, man, when things

886
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: are going right for Wan? So he's got like the

887
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: nicest swing in baseball, and things are going to go

888
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: right for him soon. And as of right now, read

889
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: Garrett the lowest era for any pitcher in baseball's at

890
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: least twenty innings, zero point seven zero. He he hits

891
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: such a wall last year when the other hitters realized

892
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: how much he was throwing that splither and how that

893
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: was the pitch he was using to get ahead. But

894
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 1: now the way he's mixed back in the color and

895
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: the and the sinker off that pitch, and then now

896
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: he it's these guys have no idea what pitch is

897
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: coming when he's on the mountain. He could put all

898
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: of them wherever he wants.

899
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: It's so it's so beautiful.

900
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: We've done to make Read Garrett one of the better

901
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: set of men in baseball. Yeah, he's been incredible. Him

902
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: and Diaz eight nine. It's pretty pretty light right now.

903
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: There's is Is there another one you choose over than

904
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: them right now?

905
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: In Major League baseball? Yeah, I would definitely. I would

906
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 2: definitely take Kate Smith and Manuel Class You're still really okay.

907
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: And I think I would also definitely take Griffin Jackson,

908
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: are boo or take the met to be a behmer? No,

909
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: and you know what else? Deep say it? Right now?

910
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: I think if you're seeing with Randy Rodriguez doing in

911
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco, they're doing some voodoo shit over there. He

912
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: has I think he has like a point two era

913
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: or something like that, right yeah, I think like a

914
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: thirty five strike out mins walk right and Camille do Vall.

915
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 4: He's working on twenty one consecutive scroreless appearances.

916
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: Whatever. I'm just, I mean, I love our guys. I

917
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: love that.

918
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: Right now.

919
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 2: I think I think we're in I think we're in

920
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: the pantheon. I think We're in the top.

921
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: Five, eight of eighth and nine guys easily and it

922
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: could be better than that. But I think those those

923
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: those duos are also nutty. But again, you could twist

924
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: marm we convince me that we're at least rest or second,

925
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: you can't. I'll have that good all right, good, well,

926
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tissure arm on that one. Anything else from

927
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: the series in these games? Or is it time to

928
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: move on to the series preview?

929
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 7: Ah?

930
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: This series these games?

931
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: The only thing I want to talk about is that

932
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: Sunday was the anniversary of the Johan Santana no hither.

933
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: That that's very cool because somehow we only have one

934
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: actual no hither in the entire history of the Mets.

935
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: The Mets best singular person.

936
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, by singular person, more world series and no hitters,

937
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Also, Sunday was the return of the

938
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: game Mets, and this is something going on with this team.

939
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: When the calendar turns to June, these guys just they

940
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: love the moment and they're ready to go.

941
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

942
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: Gay Mets is like the funniest little meme that I

943
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: feel like only happens in the Mets Twitter verse. Like

944
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: I think if there's there's probably a lot of people

945
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: listening to like the gay Mets, like what.

946
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 2: Are you talking about?

947
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the thing last year because the team

948
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 4: got so good in June.

949
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: Then people are like, yes, game Mets, like shout Diana,

950
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: and Diana is the queen of Mets, whether she's at

951
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: the liberal goat like she had some memes that went

952
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: crazy the last couple of days too, and again the.

953
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 4: Teams will I know in June, it's all matters.

954
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: That's literally all I care about. All right, let's go

955
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: ahead and do this Dodgers preview. Paul Blackburn back, who

956
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: kind of crazy that they're like, hey, Paul, you're back Dodgers.

957
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: It's a scared street meme. They just they're shaking up

958
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 2: the rug, ready to go, ready to go. Can you

959
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 2: pitch against them?

960
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: And then once you get through the Dodgers coors Field,

961
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: good luck. But the Mets calls another huge break in

962
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: this Dodger series because for the second time in a

963
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: week and a half, we don't have to face Yoshio Weamo.

964
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: Though I know that right now he's not pitching very

965
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: well against the Yankees, but he is by far the

966
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: best picture in this Dodger's rotation, and we're getting a

967
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: shot at a bunch of guys that we just saw

968
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: last week. The Dodgers are as well, but still I

969
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: like what we got. So Monday matchup, so everyone get

970
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: ready for some late night games this week. We got

971
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: the midnight Mets returning. Can't wait ten ten Monday Night

972
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: Paul Blackburn versus Dustin May ten ten Tuesday Night, Tyler

973
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: almost at Trevor McGill. What the hell's wrong with my

974
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: brain right now? Tyler McGill versus Clayton Kershaw. And then

975
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday ten ten Griffin canning Tony Gonsolin. It is a

976
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: four game series with the Dodgers with no off day

977
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: this next week Thursday, four to ten.

978
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: David Peterson versus Landon Knack.

979
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, this is The Dodgers are obviously

980
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: a very good baseball team, but obviously obviously their with

981
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: their weakness is the pitching. We can get to this

982
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: pitching we did last series. I don't know how we're

983
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna be able to stop this offense, especially because they

984
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: just put up eighteen against the Yankees and they are

985
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: clicking on every single cylinder possible. And I am terrified

986
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 1: if Paul Blackburn's start on Monday night, I'm not gonna

987
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: lie that one. That feels like we're gonna lose eighteen

988
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: to two. But hey, Paul Blackburn, six innings, two strikeouts,

989
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: six beers.

990
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: That's how you roll.

991
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: You keep putting up the beers. Thereing, Paul black Sorry,

992
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the number is. What did we say?

993
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: I think it was three three tall boys? There you go, Yeah,

994
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: right exactly. I do think that it might have been

995
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: nice for the Mets to maybe let Blackburn start the

996
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon game with a series win already in hand

997
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: against the Rockies. I'm trying to see when his last

998
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: rehab star was. I pulled it up right now. That

999
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: would be another rehab start because you're facing the Triple

1000
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: A lineup. Yeah exactly, But that I feel like would

1001
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: have been a very logical time for him to start

1002
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: his season. He pitched on May twenty eighth, actually now,

1003
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: so the days actually wouldn't have lined up head to pitch

1004
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: on May twenty eighth the May twenty first, so there

1005
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: was a week in between those rehab stars. We know

1006
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: the weather in the Eastern League in Triple A is

1007
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: always a little bit screwy. So yeah, I guess that

1008
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: that is his fifth day, so it does make sense.

1009
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure they actually the perfect wort would have liked

1010
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: to but now we don't get Clay homes against the Dodgers,

1011
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: but this team. If you guys have been watching some

1012
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: of these Yankee Dodger games over the weekend, Friday night

1013
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: was a great baseball game. Friday Night game was one

1014
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: of the best Knights of baseball that I remember in

1015
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: recent In recent time, you said it was seven multi

1016
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: home run players.

1017
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: I think they might be juicing the balls again in

1018
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 2: the summer. It feels like the day that from the

1019
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: full season says they're not.

1020
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: If they're choosing the balls systematically that then again, we

1021
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: know they have done that in the past, so wouldn't

1022
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if they would do that, if

1023
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: they would be like, oh, juice ball game, juice ball game,

1024
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: juice ball game. But there's nothing really that we can

1025
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: see in the data without getting baseballs. If you guys

1026
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: are at games where we suspect balls could be juiced,

1027
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: let me know, because I have had some conversations done

1028
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: some work with Meredith Willis, who did some work with

1029
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: William Bradford Davis where they kind of helped uncover the

1030
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: juice ball, the Judge juice ball fiasco a couple of

1031
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: seasons ago, when he was chasing the American League home

1032
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: run record to have the seventh most home runs in

1033
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: the single season of all time.

1034
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: She's a physicist.

1035
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: She was taking apart baseballs and figuring out what was

1036
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: different about them and how they were different. So, if

1037
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: anyone gets baseball's at a game, hit me up. I'll

1038
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: send you to her, because she had asked me if

1039
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: she can get some helpless in baseballs.

1040
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 4: I'm not on the field, so I can't.

1041
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: Do that, but her getting baseballs would really be able

1042
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: to help us figure this out by the end of

1043
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: the season.

1044
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be great for us to find out

1045
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 2: what's going on with these baseballs.

1046
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: But we saw the Dodgers recently. There's not much else

1047
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: to preview here. We have anything else to talk about.

1048
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: I gotta do the Howard Johnson Jersey giveaway winner.

1049
00:38:58,800 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: Yes, you do. You have to do that.

00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: And we also we've got a lot of you guys

00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 3: where you need them to play. Homes going the furthest

Speaker 2: Oh Franky, what's better less to move? Frankie boyemel after

1085
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: a serious.

1086
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: Sweet It's true, bliss, It's amazing, shout Frankie Peppers. I honestly,

1087
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I'd welcome. What do you say,

1088
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: Danny Chestnuts. That feels like another person that could be

1089
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: a part of the universe at some point. Yeah, that

1090
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: could be that could be someone's alter ego, Danny Chestnuts.

1091
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Frankie Peppers is positive, Dany Chestnuts is negative. Danny

1092
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: Chestnuts could be like our Joe from Massapequa. Yeah, he's

1093
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: like I hate this Da Monsto overrated overpaid. I wanted

1094
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: to turn around that look kids today and be like underrated, underpaid.

1095
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 1: One more thing I want to say from the ballpark today,

1096
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: Shout out the little kid who his only objective the

1097
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: entire game. His parents were letting him stand in the

1098
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: aisle and like he would like dance, they take a

1099
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: video and as soon as they'd look away for a second,

1100
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: sprint right up the stairs. He was like, how can

1101
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: I run away? Amazing stuff. We saw it happen a

1102
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: couple of times. Shout out that kid. Great vibes of

1103
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: the ballpark. Can't wait to get back there after this long,
