37
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: comeback and get a win win this series. The Cardinals

38
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: team hasn't won a series since the middle of May,

39
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: so tough to see us be on the other side

40
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: of them, maybe getting off the schneid with the worst

41
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: record national league. It's disappointing. It's real disappointing. Way the

42
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: end the series, Yeah, it would have been nice to

43
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: get a win on Father's Day too. It was a

44
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: very winnable game. I mean, we'll talk a little bit

45
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more in depth about it in a

46
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: few here, but just overall a bit of a series

47
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: that left you wanting just a little bit more, Like

48
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: we saw some good things here and there, Like the

49
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: offense did have a good game one, did have a

50
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: good game three, like they hit they hit for power too,

51
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: which was and Friday Night was one of the most discinct,

52
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: easiest Mets wins of the entire years. Like it was

53
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: just wonderful. It's a two hour woman a game, shortest

54
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: Mets game in the entire season, and it was just

55
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: very straightforward. They won even like before the game we

56
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: got to shout out Pride Night on Friday Night was

57
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: a great event. Crowd was really amped up with bad weather,

58
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: especially in Queens during the day. Yeah, it looked like

59
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: it was gonna be possibly washed out if not delayed.

60
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: Didn't happen, which is so the opposite of Wednesday, where

61
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: it was beautiful all day and the Range Lake came

62
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: out of like the clear blue sky. But Friday, bad

63
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: weather all day, not to laid. Alice Cohen was like

64
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: handing out fans a bunch of like down downstairs. They

65
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: had the purple Pride shirts that were a huge hit.

66
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: Janceport did national anthem. She was great. The crowd was

67
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: really rocket. It was they had the Pride flag in

68
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: the rotunda. It was. It was a very nice event,

69
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. The team played really well, which also

70
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: builds on top of it, like good energy, good vibes,

71
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: good play, love to see it. Some other little housekeeping things.

72
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: We have a new member of the Mets family, you

73
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: guys know very well. New baby has been born. Francisco

74
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: indoors baby, of course, is the one we're talking about here.

75
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm a poll of Chloe was born on Saturday. Saturday,

76
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor got the first day off he's had in years.

77
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure even somehow got the pinch it. I figured

78
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: you would save this to after we talked about the game.

79
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Let's get to that. Let's just talk. Yeah, because he

80
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: wasn't here to start the game, and then he pinched

81
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: it in the ninth inning. Yeah, and got hit by

82
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: a pitch by Jordan Hicks, which like imagine becoming like

83
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: having your second child and then getting hit by one

84
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: hundred two mile and hour saying it's dad strength. I

85
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: know it's the second daughter, but dad strength, like you

86
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: just you probably didn't feel it, No, probably not at all,

87
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, nice and also we shouldn't also mention I

88
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,560

00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: So I can I can give you a rundown. Yesterday

108
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: John text me in the middle of the day. He goes,

109
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: we're texting about something else, and then he goes, this

110
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 4: baby's coming and I said, oh, like, is she close?

111
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 4: And he said, I'm at the hospital and she's pushing.

112
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 4: And that was at like he's like five thirty.

113
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

114
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: I like, honestly, I knew me and John were close.

115
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: I didn't realize we were like not close.

116
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 4: I didn't realize I'm one of the first people who's

117
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: gonna text me.

118
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: That's ridiculously to make sure he gets time. Of course,

119
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: also he had the upstage Francisco Indoor. He had this

120
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: baby the same day as Paciscal Indoor, and you know,

121
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna tell us about that forever, and

122
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna make sure Sophia knows that her and Amapola

123
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: have been born on the safe.

124
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: He's gonna run up till the door the second he

125
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: gets a chance.

126
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: What It's also funny because since his daughter was born

127
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: so June seventeenth, that's going to fall on Father's Day.

128
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: Sometimes a lot. So John's gonna give me a little

129
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: hornery having to share Father's Day with his interesting Yeah,

130
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: definitely all right, But back back to baseball. We'll talk

131
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: about some good things that happened on Friday night on

132
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: the field. First of all, McGill had I think, probably

133
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: the best part of the entire season. Definitely best he

134
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: looked all year. The fastball was very crisp, the slider

135
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: looked really good, got a lot of the whiffs on it,

136
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: especially low in the zone. Went six innings, seven strikeouts,

137
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: no walks, one and a run, only four hits, completely

138
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: in control, not that much trouble. Like usually it's McGill like, oh,

139
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: got his two mannine, We gotta work around some stuff.

140
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: Only happened but once or twice. Also, the seven strikeouts

141
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: with no walks are the most Tyler McGill's ever gotten

142
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: in his career with no walks. Yeah, no, I mean

143
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: he looked really good. I was talking to my dad

144
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: and we're constantly texting throughout the game, and we're like, wow,

145
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: like this game has gone really, really smoothly. He got

146
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: into a little bit of trouble, it felt like at

147
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: one point where like he did have to battle but

148
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: he did. He went right back at them, which was

149
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: really nice. And to get six innings at McGill, who

150
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: has been struggling a bit, hasn't been the most consistent,

151
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: it's super big. And one thing that stood out to

152
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: me was that fastball. His location, his command was really

153
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: really good in this game. And you mentioned the zero walks,

154
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: but the fact that he was able like he's always

155
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: working the outside corner. It seems like with that fastball

156
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: trying to build off that slider or use that to

157
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: build with the slider, and he was able to locate

158
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: that in the zone and get some called strikes on

159
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: the corner. That made the slider look even better because

160
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: now you have to keep an eye out for that,

161
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: make it a chase. Pitch just had a really really

162
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: good game, went really smoothly, which was nice. It was

163
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: just it was a very fun and easy game. Vogel

164
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: back back for the first game, hit a home run,

165
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: looked a lot better, the at bats were better, the

166
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: confidence seemed to be there. And it was the shortest

167
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: game of the year two hour and one minute. I mean,

168
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: it was nice. How do you guys feel at home

169
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: about the pitch clock Like games like this have to

170
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: be a lot different than what you're used to.

171
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: Well, we were used to that at one time because

172
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: we grew up on baseball moving very quickly. Two hour

173
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: games where they know, I'm back in the day. But

174
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: it is good to have that back because sometimes it

175
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 3: just gets to be too much and the pace of

176
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 3: the game is definitely better. There are some games that

177
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: maybe one slow down a little bit more so, maybe

178
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: the pitch clock could adjust a little bit, especially in

179
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: the postseason, maybe after the seventh inning, things like that.

180
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: But I think it's it's a it's a welcome edition

181
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: so far. I feel that way anyway.

182
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, it takes you back to when we were kids.

183
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: Games are over quick. You were able to follow along more,

184
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: keep your interest more. I think it's good for the

185
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: game going forward, to grow the game. Where before people

186
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: were annoyed that it would take so long and it's

187
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: boring and this that the other thing, and if you

188
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: were unless you were a real baseball guy and you

189
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: really love it so much, you didn't care. But I

190
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: think now going forward, it's good because it'll attract a

191
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: different audience.

192
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna speak for your mom. You

193
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: can speak she's also here. But I know my mom

194
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: likes baseball casually because be and my dad are a

195
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: crazy Mets fan at this point. But I feel like

196
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: she's she's more in tune now and I'm sure the

197
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: game time has to do with it a little bit.

198
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, she was. Her attention span was not good

199
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: for baseball game, but it's on point now.

200
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: Your mom also has no break because it's just you

201
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: and your dad. Yes, Like at least my mom has

202
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: my sister the battle software. It's like there's someone here

203
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: who's not to the Mets and watching the Mets and

204
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: talking about it's all day long. So I know, like,

205
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys do the same thing. Whenever I

206
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: come home now wherever I can call my dad on

207
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: the phone, like there's no small talk. It's right into

208
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: the Mets. It's like this that when you think about

209
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: this one, will we think about that one? I can't

210
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: believe that, and maybe hopefully this there's nothing at all,

211
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: hands like Mom's like what are you doing? How's it going?

212
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Like would you eat today? It's very very very different

213
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: types of conversations. Sickness sickness, we're diseased and we can

214
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: thank you guys, for that. Yeah, I appreciate that. Another

215
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: big part of why we want to do is father

216
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: this day suff because Mark and I definitely wouldn't be

217
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: Mets fans probably at all. It's not as big of

218
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: Mets fans as we are without all the stuff doing

219
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: with their dads, like going to crazy games as they're young,

220
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: playing baseball, like them coaching us, all that stuff, and

221
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: then just just again having these conversations about the Mets

222
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: every single possible moment, like constant texting, which is crazy.

223
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: We basically like have podcasts with our dads on phone

224
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: calls every single day. Whenever we watch a game, it's

225
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: like the next day that's the first conversation. Yeah, but

226
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: those have to be edited a lot. Yeah, definitely a few.

227
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: Last thing I want to shout out from Friday night,

228
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: Josh Walker looked really good again. Awesome, crispy, two winnings,

229
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: twenty two pitches, a huge hand, and how this game

230
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: became so short with Josh Walker's breezing through the last

231
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: couple got three whips each with his fastball and his curveball.

232
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: That curve ball was really really looking good, a lot

233
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: of drop on it, and that fastball got up to

234
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: ninety one, so now ninety five met messed up there,

235
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: but left side there's a lot of last year. It

236
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: was very good to see him growing into like a

237
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: more trustworthy role in this ball pep Yeah, And like

238
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Buck said, he just attacks batters. He's like, hit it,

239
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: come at me. You're like, you're not gonna do it.

240
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: You're not gonna hit me. And he's been very successful.

241
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm super excited to see more of him. He's also massive, huge,

242
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: He's huge. I can't be how big his dad. You

243
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: met one of his family members on Wednesday night, right, Yeah,

244
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: I was.

245
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 3: Here Wednesday night, actually ended up sitting in the family section.

249
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: you know this, it's interesting to be in the ballpark.

250
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 3: It's a very rare event where you know, people rooting

251
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: for the opposite team, many people, so but it brings

252

335
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: we were friends.

336
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,080

00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Here, you know you're out there.

341
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 2: Right.

342
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: She's incredibly pleasant. She's very nice and very very nice.

343
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, now back to the game. Yeah, well let's

344
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: talk about the bad stuff now. Yeah. Now, now it's

345
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: two games lot Saturday. It started off really rocky. Paul

346
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: Golshpit and Jordan Walker each hit kind kind of serious

347
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: home runs early in the game, Off saying the Goldman

348
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: one was just like a fastball right down Broadway and

349
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: he crushed it. Because he's defending MVP, possibly a future

350
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, and Jordan Walker hit the pitch. And also,

351
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: if you guys really hit to Jordan Walker, hope this

352
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: series kind of made you realize that this is probably

353
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: one of these the future like superstars in the making.

354
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: He hit the pitch, the sang of throwm a ninety

355
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: six mile on there fastball at his eyes to right field.

356
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, three hundred and eighty feet. It was.

357
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: It was totally ridiculous, And like you think he's twenty

358
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: one year old kid, he's what he's drafted out of

359
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: high school in twenty twenty. They were talking about on

360
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: S and Y. They were like, he didn't even get

361
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: to play pro ball the first year who was drafted

362
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: because there was no minor leagues because of the COVID season.

363
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: So he's basically played two full years of pro ball

364
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: after high school and he is now starting every single

365
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: day at the major league level and nuts And it's

366
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: not like with Alvrez, who gets signed when he's sixteen

367
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: and gets to get a little bit of a taste.

368
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: Just got thrown right into it and he's been awesome,

369
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: and he's changed his position on the fly yes, which

370
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: is like, that's the most incredible thing of this. He

371
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: was a corner infielder and they're like, oh, we have

372
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: two future Hall of famers out the corner infield. You

373
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: wh I just try playing the outfield. He was like, yeah, okay,

374
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: and we'll jumping around a little bit. But he made

375
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: a pretty crazy play to help get Brendon Neimo out

376
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday where do for a ball in the corner?

377
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: Ball got past him two runs score a big moment

378
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: at the time, but then he got up recovered very quickly.

379
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: Great athlete got to the ball. His arm is one

380
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: of the best in baseball. Through the cutoff man it

381
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: was like a Bbie And then Demo was out by

382
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: a step at their base, which is unfortunate. But back

383
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: to that game, that was a rough star for Sanga.

384
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: Long ball kind of bit him a little bit. But

385
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: that Jordan Walker Homero was actually last hit that he

386
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: allowed in the game. Wow, And that was in the

387
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: third inning, okay, yeah, and he went through six Like

388
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: watching it, he did settle in which is kind of

389
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: a Mets pitcher's theme if yous like, but a little bit. Yeah,

390
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: he wound up with eight strikeouts in one walk overall

391
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: and another one more sad thing that happened though Brandon

392
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: Donovan had the second hard hit ball off the ghost

393
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: fourk all year. That's tough, I know, very tough. It

394
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: sat loan inside and got a round on it. But overall,

395
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: sanga again pitch. Weall enough of the teams to win,

396
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: just didn't score any runs. And it was it was

397
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: Adam Wayne Wright, like Adam Waynwright doing the Adam Waynwright

398
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: thing he's done to the Mets forever hit him so

399
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: much twenty years or whatever it's been now. I mean,

400
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: we know how his career started against the Mets. We

401
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: don't have to talk about that one. But the fact

402
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: that this guy's out here throwing like eighty two eighty

403
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: three and the Mets were hitting the ball really hard

404
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: to start, which was like really encouraging because I think

405
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: they got quick three runs, but the fact that he

406
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: was just able to shut them down and like seven

407
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: hits three runs. I think he even walked a couple

408
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: guys like he wasn't sharp, and it's just frustrating that

409
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: we couldn't jump all over him. Mets had ten hard

410
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: hit balls off Adam Wayne Wright in six and one thirds,

411
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: ending seven hits, two walks, only three strikeouts, and the

412
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: hardest pitching through the entire game was eighty eight miles

413
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: an hour. I want to ask you, guys, because Adam

414
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: wayn Wright, I feel like maybe for me and James,

415
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: it's just like them, we hate them. It was a

416
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: picture that has always owned us. A part of the

417
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals who we hate. We have so much animosity towards them,

418
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: despise them. Who was like that guy for you guys

419
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: when you were like growing up as Mets fans or

420
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: even our age, who was like the Met killer John Tudor.

421
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know who that is. He used to

422
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: kill us in the eighties.

423
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: He was such a nemesis. And you know, back then

424
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: free agency was kind of early on, and players hated

425
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: the players. There was no love between the teams, and

426
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: John Tudor was just he was the bane of my existence.

427
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he hated him, Hey like me.

428
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: We don't know, No, definitely, I remember those teams, I

429
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: mean the Cardinals and the Mets. The animosity goes way back. Yeah,

430
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: it's not just from now, and yeah, we feel the

431
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: same way back those late eighties teams, mid eighties teams.

432
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: You know, that was our biggest hurdle to get over

433
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 3: the Cardinals.

434
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: That was it. We had division in our division.

435
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: Year, remember that. I mean we won ninety eight games,

436
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: we went home.

437
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: I mean that's tough, that's incredible thing.

438
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: You know, baseball was very different. You don't win your division,

439
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: you're out and that's it. And it was yeah, you know,

440
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: guys like Terry Pendleton were on that team those years.

441
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: Tommy fake people, they're.

442
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: Not fake people. Hitting the ball on the ground was.

443
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: Everywhere, like there were very few snames they didn't have

444
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: asr and just hit it on the rug and it

445
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: would roll the wall, trip trip, trip every time.

446
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 3: And which we spoke about this last night. James and

447
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: I were at barbecue mine. He's got married.

448
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: But Willie McGee, oh yeah, this is unbelievableink about William ggee.

449
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: So I've shot out my uncles in the show a

450
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: few time. If either wants me to stop talking to

451
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: them because they're probably toxic. But it's okay. My dad

452
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: and his two brothers and I hang out. It's like

453
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: Encyclopedias of baseball literally, and we're just and of course

454
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: you guys could probably guess this. My uncle's favorite player

455
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: right now is Luis Rias. Yeah, they think he's the

456
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: coolest thing in the world right now. Throw back old

457
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: school batting average. I love it so much. And then

458
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: we're just like sitting around talking and like, I wonder

459
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: if any other players won a batting title in two

460
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: different leagues. And I said that sentence, and my dad's

461
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: brother or uncle lou in in a millisecond, a microsecond,

462
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: a purely involuntary response, he was like Willie McGee won

463
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: one with the Pirates or there was pirates right the

464
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: Cubs Cardinals one way said I forgot to secause. Then

465
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: he said, but then he got traded a couple of

466
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: years later to Oakland August. He only played about thirty

467
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: games with them, but he still won the batting title

468
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: for the American League, but he played most of the

469
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: games in National League. And I go in Baseball Reference,

470
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, how that did you have that in your head?

471
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: And then my dad's pulling out like seventies eighties baseball

472
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: names never heard. Bill Madlock was the guy who said, yeah.

473
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: I want to hit another met Killer too in division

474
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: with Yeah, it was just crazy.

475
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: He's like, Welt's this baseball encyclopedias, these like things you

476
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: build up over years, like the imagine, like the other

477
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: knowledge we would have. It's like, these aren't the things

478
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: we thought, Oh my god, yeah, like science, art, me,

479
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: all this stuff. History. I guess the mytory you might

480
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: have it. I mean, it's just there's so much of

481
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: but I think all four of our brains that are

482
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: taken up by not just baseball in general, but Mets, baseball,

483
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: toxic sludge. It's a lot of space.

484
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: It takes up my fandom, you know, that's how it started.

485
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: I mean my oldest brother, lou uncle Louis James mentioned that.

486
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: You know, it was nineteen seventy three. I remember I

487
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: was eight years old, and probably the first games I

488
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: watched were the World Series games in seventy three. I

489
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: remember sitting in front of the TV in the afternoon

490
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: with my brother's. One of my brothers is a Yankees fan,

491
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: so I just happened to lynch it because the Mets

492
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: were in the World Series that year.

493
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: I became a Mets fan.

494
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: That's the first time I remember actually watching the Mets

495
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: was the World Series in seventy three.

496
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, by your dad.

497
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: I remember like a little bit of sixty nine just

498
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: a little bit. My family, they really weren't sports guys.

499
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 2: Safe to say, yeah, but exactly your uncles don't really

500
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 2: know much about sports. But seventy three was probably the

501
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: coming of age where it clicked for me, where you know,

502
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: really was into it. I remember Pete Rose taking out

503
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: Buddy Harrison and that whole brawl. And I mean in

504
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: years later, we're in Vegas and we'll go to We're

505
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: in some hotel whatever, and Pete Rose has a.

506
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: Set up there. We could sign it empty. There was

507
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: nobody in there, so we went in there. You were

508
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: about fourteen.

509
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: Four, yeah, and they're like, you could ask Pete anything

510
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: you want, but be prepared because he's going to give

511
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: you the straight And so of course I was like,

512
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 2: so Pete, what to deal with?

513
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: You know? Buddy Harrison, that was my guy. And he

514
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: was quick to say just like, well, you know, he

515
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: came in and it was that was it. That was it.

516
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, sorry, you're good.

517
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: But it's also funny think about you just mentioned the

518
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: fight we kind of forgot. Last year, the Mets and

519
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinals had one of the bigger baseball brawls we've

520
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: seen in the last few years. This is the first

521
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: time we played them this season. Yeah, and then we

522
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: played them twice with two series early and then got

523
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: rid of them, and that kind of like sent the Met.

524
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: I feel like those Cardinals series kind of sent the

525
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: Mets season like got their momentum going last year because

526
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: you had that big brawl and then you had the

527
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: big comeback in Saint Louis. Yea, it's a good one.

528
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: It was. That was really big first h huge comeback. Yeah,

529
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: that Nold made the error and then we just took

530
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: the advantage, which that was a crazy moment. That was

531
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: even before we started doing the past was that was

532
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: that was my I remember that was in my old apartment.

533
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: I was listening to how we just by myself in

534
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: my windowless room in Brooklyn. That was a freelance boys.

535
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: Freelance boys like the Grinders. And then we had the

536
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: game here which also just before we started with them,

537
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: with Pete hit the home run in the day game.

538
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: We did the live stream for that, Yes, and then

539
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: with a lot of people like this is so cool,

540
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: and the one dude was like really making fun of us.

541
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: It was really funny, great engagement. Bad clicks are still clicks.

542
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: They are That is true. Yeah, all clicks are clicks,

543
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: but I feel like that was a big thing that

544
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: set the Mets up last year. And you could feel

545
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: the heat between these two teams. I got to say,

546
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: I didn't feel the heat this time. I didn't feel

547
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: like it's hard to have the heat when the two

548
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: teams are combined, like almost like what twenty five games,

549
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: one hundred heat. They also don't want to wake up

550
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: like a sleeping giant a little bit too, Yeah, I

551
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: guess that too, But I was frustrating that Saturday. The

552
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: game was just so frustrating to watch Adam Wayne Wright

553
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: do this all these years later and have nothing in

554
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: his tam. I hate him, despised him, and I hate him,

555
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: and he's he's awful right now is like six. He's

556
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: like mixing up these curved balls and these sinkers and

557
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: the Mets are crushing the ball and he's finding gloves

558
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: and it's just so freaking frustrating to why to lose

559
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: a game like that? Yeah, no, the Cardinals, especially when

560
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: specially when the Cardinals have no hits for four straight innings.

561
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: No nothing, it's just we shut them down and we

562
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: just couldn't We couldn't get more runs. Frustrating. It was

563
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: really hoping that, like I don't know, at least maybe

564
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: the hard hits would fall into Game three. Granted they did.

565
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: The offense scored, We scored seven runs. Like there was

566
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff to talk about there. But

567
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: the bad is that Carlos Crasco had a just straight

568
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: up bad start. This was Grasco's worst start since he

569
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: returned from injury towards the end of May. It was

570
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: just it was bad. He they were hitting it left

571
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: and right. He wasn't really getting any swings and misses.

572
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: John Curis was warming up, I believe one once. By

573
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: the time the second inning started rolling around. Nolan No

574
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: hit that home run really early, the first one that

575
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: he would washed. It wasn't even the worst one he hit,

576
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: but it was rough, but cool to see the Mets

577
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: again like battle back. Yeah, if you have to take

578
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: a positive like Francisco Lindora the home run his second

579
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: at bat after having a child, so his his righty

580
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: swing is just so good. It did feel like he

581
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: was taking much better at bass. They put another ball

582
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: to the warning track. I could see now you know,

583
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: the ease of no longer having his wife pregnant right now,

584
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: the baby being here, being happy and healthy. I feel

585
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: like that kind of set him on a run. I

586
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: remember I've talked about a few times in the show Mirrors,

587
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: his old Cleveland teammate Jose Ramirez. He had the worst

588
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: stretch of his career in April to June when his

589
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: wife was pregnant, and then he was the same exact

590
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: player's always been right after that. So I hope if

591
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: that from Lindor. But yeah, it was a weird game

592
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: because the Cardinals kept take getting more runs. We kept

593
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: getting really close and getting back. We did tie at

594
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: one point. Big time. Tommy the hottest hit a on

595
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: planet the Earth. His baseball savant slids just came out.

596
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: You guys haven't seen it. It's a lot of red ink.

597
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: Of course, it's a barrel raid whoa ba exit, velocity,

598
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 1: hard hit percentage, everything, top of the line, big time. Tommy,

599
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: me and Mike Petrillo, we freaking knew it. But very

600
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: moment if same was rocking, it was seven seven, you

601
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: kind of felt like then it was gonna be like

602
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: a race to ten. Like both offenses were humming. Both

603
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: bullpens have seen better days and like, all right, let's

604
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: get after it, and then everything just kind of stopped.

605
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: In one shot. We had a young kid. How old

606
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: do you think he was? That kid eight? Yeah, he

607
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: was sitting behind us up in the five hundreds with

608
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: the real fans. Oh yeah, yeah, of course. And he

609
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: was I think it might have been his first Mets game.

610
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: But he was so insanely loud, but like cheering for

611
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: all the right stuff. He was spot Was it the

612
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: kid in the Harvey jersey with the big chain, No,

613
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't. There was one. There's a kid we passed

614
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: in the five hundreds. Also, it was cool sitting in

615
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: the five hundreds for a time a while. Yeah, I

616
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: haven't done in a minute. Yeah, becase we used to do

617
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: that regularly. Now we've got a little Hollywood on you guys,

618
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: but we got we bounced around. We like to hang

619
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: in the field level now because you know, show business.

620
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: But yes, kid had an ice cream all over his face.

621
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he knew what he was talking about. He

622
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: was super loud, but it was piercing the air. It

623
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: was I've never heard someone be so loud. But also

624
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't like you know, like when little kids yelling

625
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: it gets like that crazy high pitch he had. He

626
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: had like just enough base in his voice where it

627
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: wasn't screechy, and uh yeah for five innings it was.

628
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: It was a lot, but I respected he was having

629
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: a good time. Love that fun question for you guys,

630
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: answer individually. What were we like at Mets games as kids?

631
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: I asked my dad that today. Yeah, like it like

632
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: like also like what were the age rages? Like we

633
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: were like eight to ten and then like you know,

634
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: like like eleven to fifteen, Like what how was that growth?

635
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: As fan? So?

636
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

637
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: I think Mark's first met Mets game we went with

638
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 2: his pop pool, his Greek grandfather, three years old, and

639
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: he was great.

640
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: He you know, sat still.

641
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: He was very much into everything that was going on.

642
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 2: It was the late nineties, probably ninety nine season around there.

643
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 2: The Mets were kind of you know competitive then, right,

644
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: but then like his the best memory, I think the

645
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: earliest memory was last day of the year Alier. We

646
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: beat the Pirates, I believe, and I had like fan

647
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: appreciation of the players came out, so we're talked about before. Yeah.

648
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: Uh and then as you, I mean.

649
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: You were always into the games, always never wanted to

650
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: walk around, never wanted to. You know, you weren't distractive

651
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: by anything else. It was all about the baseball game.

652
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: Piazza was your guy, of course, and so you were

653
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: mesmerized by Piazza and and yeah, and and and the Mets.

654
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean it was it was pretty cool.

655
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're the reason I called nine to one one

656
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: like ten times to and top Run wrote he wrote

657
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: nine one seven, but I read it as nine to

658
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: one one.

659
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

660
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: The cops I called nine one one like ten times,

661
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: and they're like, what's ther EMERGENCY'M like, I'm trying to

662
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: talk to my dad, like Todd Pratt hit a home run,

663
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: and they just the cop showed up bay Yaya Babu's house,

664
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: who don't speak any English. So you had a three

665
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: four year old men explained to the police what was

666
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: going on. They're like, that's a seven. I was like, okay, nice.

667
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: I think it called my dad.

668
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was good. That was good.

669
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: I think same thing.

670
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: I think I remember the first game that we took

671
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: James to uh. I think it was the Colorado Rockies,

672
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: and it may have been probably around that same time

673
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: nine I think they were. Their first year in the

674
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 3: league was ninety eight. The Rockies or ninety seven, but yeah,

675
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: I think it was. And we sat in the picnic

676
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 3: section out in Shae Stadium, of course, out in the outfield,

677
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, I guess the first game was

678
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: a lot of uh, you know, pretzels and ice cream

679
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 3: and things like that. But the fandom picked up pretty quickly.

680
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 3: I remember one thing I remember specifically, no matter how

681
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 3: many runs we were up or down, we would never

682
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 3: of a game. That's the thing. Didn't matter, didn't matter.

683
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: I could never understand them.

684
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I will say this too about the

685
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 2: fandom of the fandom of everybody of us or whatever.

686
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: Met fans in general, it's so easy to be a

687
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: Yankee fans so easy. It's so easy to be a

688
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: car you know, they have this tradition of winning and whatever,

689
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. As soon as they fail, those fans

690
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: are out. Mets fans do or die. We live and

691
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: die with the Mets, so we know what it's like.

692
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: We're true fans. If there's any true fan of sport,

693
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: it's a Met fan. Maybe the Cubs fans too, but

694
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: Met fans for sure.

695
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: Maybe absolutely.

696
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: But I guess you know, it starts from the old

697
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Dodger.

698
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: Yes, mentality because them bums right.

699
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 3: And you know, if I date even my fandom back,

700
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 3: it's from my uncle because he was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan.

701
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: My uncle Al and uh, that's how my brother became

702
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: a Mets fan. They lived in the same house, you know,

703
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: back then all the Italians loved in the same house

704
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: for a second third flood, thirty people in one house,

705
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 3: three families, so interesting. My dad was not a sports

706
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 3: fan at all at all. Never watched a game with

707
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 3: my dad. It was my brothers. My dad was always

708
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: working two or three jobs, so you know. And that's

709
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 3: the whole thing is that the Mets fans come from

710
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 3: the Booklyn Dodger fans and they just have that mentality.

711
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: You know, working class fans, exactly.

712
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: Proletaria's heart of the people. That's what we are.

713
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: I was waiting for exactly.

714
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: Something else we have to talk about that happens Sunday's game.

715
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: Something we knew it was gonna happen this whole series

716
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: that I was dreading. Paul the Young home runs, Yeah,

717
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: it was like, just absolutely clock Paul the Young. You

718
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: want to hear his career stats against the Mets, No

719
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: all right, Why he's played thirty games against the Mets

720
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: and he's eleven home runs. That's so many that is

721
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: the one two as the fourth most home runs he

722
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: has against any other team in his entire career. And

723
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: eighty two games against the Pirates, eighty games against the Cubs,

724
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: eighty three games against the Reds, and then thirty against

725
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: the Mets. So he's like on pace for like a

726
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: fifty if he played only against the Mets west season,

727
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: he hit like fifty five home he almost as an

728
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: eleven hundred crew ops against the Mets. He doesn't have

729
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: an ops above that, like even eight hundred against any

730
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: other team. Besides, he played three or four games against

731
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: How is that even possible? For some reason, he comes

732
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 1: against he sees the other the Colors on the other

733
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: side of the field, and he locks it. He's I

734
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: mean thirty games.

735
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: Let's think about this. So if they went to him

736
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: and they said, we traded you to the Mets, would

737
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 3: he say no, that's another only play against them?

738
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: A play the storyline this weekend doesn't happened with the Cardinals? Actually?

739
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Is that they? I guess we just mentioned this, Like

740
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: why I also could ride up some Cardinals fans, you

741
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: guys want to watch. But they asked David Freese to

742
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: being the team hall of Fame. He just said no. Yeah,

743
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: well he said no, but there was it was a

744
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: little more nuanced and he felt he wasn't deserving of

745
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: being in the Hall of Fame. I think that's kind

746
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: of cool.

747
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, very much. So I respect that a lot. I

748
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: think he's that's the right answer. Yeah, And he handled

749
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: it beautifully, and you know, kudos to him, even though he's.

750
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: Just pretty self aware. He's gonna be like stam Musial,

751
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: like Albert pool Holes, like David Freeze like And I.

752
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: Think one of the things I did read quickly on

753
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: Twitter he said that, you know, he grew.

754
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: Up there in Saint Louis. I think, yeah.

755
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: I think he said that there are too many other

756
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 3: players that are deserving that aren't in yet. Yeah, and

757
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm higher than them on that list.

758
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,239
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's that's a good guys to do this

759
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: for your life and then be all for that, and

760
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: it's that's that's pretty tough.

761
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: The only nice thing we'll say about the Cardinals. We

762
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: hate them. Otherwise I hate them so happy they think

763
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: really really just so lucky also to be at the

764
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: ballpark this weekend and have to have the grace, the

765
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: grace of the best fans in sports come to the game,

766
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: so kind and generous and wonderful. To have all these

767
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: great fans from Saint Louis and the ballpark cheer for

768
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: every team. Just think the game. As my dad was saying,

769
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: Mets fans, we're here no matter what. Cardinals fans they

770
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: start to lose for the first time in what one

771
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: hundred years, and they they all of a sudden don't

772
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: show up an exactly. I'm kind of being fetus because

773
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: they really weren't many Cardinals fans. No your shots coming

774
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: to Mets Cardinals games. It would be a big badge

775
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: of Cardinals, especially a weekend in the summer. Yeah, because

776
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: even like most road games you play here, like everyone

777
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: wants to choose to come New York. It's great city in

778
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: the world. All these people have to live in all

779
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: these other cities. St. Louis really St. Louis, No God,

780
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say what you say, but yeah, I

781
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: do not not place i'd like to live. It's very

782
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: it seems like a very you know, scary city. Will

783
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: be around. But it's always a great excuse people come

784
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: travel New York, like see ballpark.

785
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 4: What I'm going to Saint Louis in two weeks for

786
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: a wedding review.

787
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: You're a wedding in st you know people in Saint.

788
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: Louis the Okay, So it's my friend who's from Jersey,

789
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: from Caldwell, who's getting married to a girl from Saint Louis.

790
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 4: They live in Nashville. I'm gonna go to Yankees Cardinals. Whoa,

791
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 4: it's Roger Merrish bablehad day.

792
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: So that's it's the sports.

793
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: But I think it's the worst fans versus the worst fans.

794
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 4: But Saint Louis is actually rated one of the most

795
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 4: unsafe cities in America.

796
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: Well that's what I was gonna talk about someone on

797
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Twitter like a week or two ago. Is really funny

798
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 1: they did. They ranked every single Major League Division teams

799
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: based on further rate per captain, and the Cardinals blew

800
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: away the Central They crushed them. Saint Louis not a

801
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: place I'm gonna choose to hang out too often, That's

802
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I feel like that'd be a barbecue there. Fans, Yeah,

803
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: they're so happy the cheer for everybody. A bunch of

804
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: nerds just protecting the really pretentious. It's gotta be the

805
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: most pretentious people in the Midwest. Midwest. I love the Midwest.

806
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: You've never see hear me say a bad thing about

807
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: the Midwest except the Cardinals fans. Huckleberry Finn Oh, Tom Sawyer. Great,

808
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: you know what I learned to there's a lot of

809
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: people from Illinois that are actually Cardinals fans. Basically, Timer Chicago,

810
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: you're a Cardinals fan.

811
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: I try to say that because I think the card

812
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 3: those demograts have the largest fan base.

813
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's no teams. It's like them in the

814
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: break them bred Bridge.

815
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: Fans and back in the day KMOX. I believe it's

816
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: the radio station that was before you know TV and

817
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: that that was the biggest radio station out in the Midwest.

818
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: And they gathered their fans in that way.

819
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the Cardinals also do have like a history

820
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: of excellence like this, they're they're on Pace a few times.

821
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: Are gonna be bad?

822
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 2: Ever?

823
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? They I don't think they've ever lost games.

824
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: They haven't a last place team. And then Nelson is

825
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,080

837
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: future of flushing podcasts. You have told us before, which

838
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: is just so you know what I never thought about, Like,

839
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: is there a Saint Louis?

840
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 3: Like?

841
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: Is that like based on and there is a Saint Louis?

842
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: Really he's the patient saint of Masons and builders. Wow,

843
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: that makes some sense. I guess that's why the artist

844
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: of Luigi. There you go, Luigi a union guy Local

845
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: three Local three, that's right, which one my dad Local three.

846
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: Local three Electricians.

847
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the Cardinals have not had a losing season

848
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: since two thousand and seven, where they went seventy eight

849
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: and eighty four. That's brutal to hear they won the

850
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: World Series beat US and then had bads. Well they

851
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: were bad, don't I know. That ship was crushing and

852
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: then it was nineteen ninety nine. They they did have

853
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: a rough middle of the nineties where they had some

854
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: losing seasons. But yeah, pretty much the Cardinals are a

855
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: franchise of winning. Yeah, pretty pretty good. They have eleven

856
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: World Series and again they're having a really bold like

857
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: strategy the last few years where they're just totally snubbing

858
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: modern pitching analytics. Yeah, and they're going completely against what

859
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: everyone knows, like based on data statistics, watching good Yeah,

860
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: like velocity movement, really obvious how to get guys out nowadays,

861
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: and the card was like, no, no, we still want contact.

862
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: They're still going for that. So again, really props to

863
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 1: them for trying to just like buck every single trend

864
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: and like think that they're smarter than every single other

865
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: person in the entire league. But yeah, great for the Cardinals.

866
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: Really great to watch them get when their first series

867
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: in the month and a half. Yeah, I mean that

868
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: being said, we did lose a serious I mean it's

869
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: terrible because we're like saying, now I got them on

870
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: even gave the home run to to Nolanames. I can't

871
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: stand Nolan r Noo either. I've like everyone in baseball

872
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: always loves them, one of these great players generations. I

873
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: can't stay. I don't hate him. I don't like him.

874
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't hate him. I had him and Paul Goldschmid

875
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: are probably the two guys I have no animosity towards

876
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: on this roster. Respect the hell out of the Paul

877
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: Golschman shout out. He's my first basement of a cousin,

878
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: URI's league, my best I love miss Acquisition. Last year

879
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: just torped he was amazing. Last last thing about the series,

880
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: would you say dominic Leone still has an allowed and

881
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: inherited runner? The score it's been great. Yeah, it's like

882
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: a one and a half in the last month. I

883
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: think maybe by the next time that we're in City

884
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: Field for the podcast, I'll I'll have a dominantly owned jersey. Yeah,

885
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 1: and may maybe we talked to him him, Brigo Rayley Roberts.

886
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: I feel it could be some boy, yeah, bullpen boys.

887
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: What's like, what's his story like? The only he's been

888
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 3: a bunch of teams.

889
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: He spent a while with the Giants. He actually didn't

890
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: have that bad results there, but he got pushed out

891
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: in a roster crunch, and this year he came from

892
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: another team before US. I forget which, but he, I mean,

893
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: the stuff is again, the stuff's been grating out as

894
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: actually like good at least average a hair above, and

895
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: his command has still been awesome. So he's he's someone

896
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: He got the ninety seventh day of his fastball, so

897
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: he feels like a guy who actually might have some

898
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: staying power in his pulpons. That was really good. Fine. Also, uh,

899
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: when Jordan Hicks is on, that's pretty pretty impossible to hit.

900
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 3: Huh.

901
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan Hicks throw one hundred three mile and hours.

902
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: Thinking this is crazy. I didn't met Jordan Hicks in

903
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: the off season. Not a fun guy to be right. Yeah.

904
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Helsley, hell guy AsSalt of the art, great David

905
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: and he hates the Braves suit Ryan. Yeah, he's raised

906
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: love loves the Cowboys though. Hmm yeah interesting. Yeah. Rock

907
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: and Ezekiel elliw Jersey at the High State game was

908
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: pretty cool. But I guess when you.

909
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: Get it over one hundred miles per an hour and

910
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 3: a slide it, you know, I mean, you don't have

911
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 3: to be nice anymore.

912
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: Just some back. Jordan Hicks went to went to a

913
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: college football game in a labyrinth like graphic t shirt,

914
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: a big overcoat, trench code ray bands in the cloudy

915
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: day of November and leather shoes like leathers, like actual

916
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: shoes with like a strap and spikes. We were like,

917
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: he is no the tail game vibe. I think you

918
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: were going to like this And have you been to

919
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: a college football like we're in Ohio. Did he go

920
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: to college? Let's see, I wonder what school he went

921
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: to and he's from Houston, but hmm yeah. But now

922
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the series, we did lose it here,

923
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: So now we're gonna move on to estimat and I

924
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: think our dad's gonna take over estimate for this series

925
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: because John's not here any new dad. We just thought

926
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: of anything. Mark won the last one. Cardinals only struck

927
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: out Struggle sixteen times a series. Yeah, sixteen times. I

928
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: had nineteen Mark at eighteen, So that cuts it my

929
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: lead to three. Now seven series left. In the first half,

930
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: one of us is going to have to wear the

931
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: full hit for probably that maybe the Sunday right after

932
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: the All Star breakup. So I won't give any dates basically,

933
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: but we will tell you guys ahead of time. We'll do,

934
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: we'll do, we'll do. We'll have to wear there for

935
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: the episode two. Yeah, hat belt cleats, click clack, metal

936
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: cleats in the concour I have black maybe eye black.

937
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: I want to do eye black. Markell do eye black.

938
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna do eye black. I don't want to do

939
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: well you are because you're gonna lose. But when you

940
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: literally you love the eye black. So do you guys

941
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: have did you come up with one? I know we

942
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: kind of just three on the spot a little bit,

943
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: A little bit you did, Yeah, just think just throw

944
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: anything out there.

945
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: About have you done a stolen base one?

946
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: Have you guys done? I think?

947
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: Thank so we got two a right on the the

948
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: Astros and Martell and the Mets actually doing well. So

949
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: maybe between the two teams like that.

950
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: You know, back you're starting to play a little bit

951
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: better too, just as we ease into the Astros preview

952
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: because last haven't played that team and did not go

953
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: very well at all. No, but we haven't beat them

954
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: in a minute, No, not even at all, Like no whins,

955
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: no win's period. Yeah, that's what I'm saying like it's

956
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: not it's not even like hyperbole, like we literally did

957
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: not beat them last year.

958
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 3: Oh god, that sucks, But we got a game here

959
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 3: with the Astros, right and yeah, yeah.

960
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: That was also one of the first times as well

961
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: that we were doing stuff with the Mets because we

962
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: talked to Cardon and Roberts. Yes, we got some good tiktoks,

963
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: like yeah, shut out cart and you just signed a

964
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: huge deal with FS one. Okay, So I'm looking at

965
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: the stats. The Mets and the Astros are both middle

966
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: of the pack and stolen bases. They both have fifty

967
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: one this year. Exactly, it's exactly the same basis. So

968
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: where'd you get the whiteboard? Brought one from home? You

969
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: brobably from home? You b yo w bi, I gotta

970
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: buy a whiteboard. I guess yeah, John another thing you

971
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: forget to the whiteboard? John just it's not whatever the

972
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: opposite of Johnny on the spot. That's John as baby

973
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: forgets about us losing crazy big, pretty big event. Yeah

974
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: all right, I uh yeah, I got a number. This

975
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: is also a three games series. Last year, I think

976
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: we played them two two game series, but now different schedule.

977
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: Everyone plays everybody a lot so yeah, keep that in mind. Yeah,

978
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: I think I got my number here. I think what

979
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: the ass are going to do? Stolen base wise, the

980
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: guy who believed their team is Kyle Tucker, followed by

981
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: Corey Jolks. I weirdly know someone who told me all

982
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 1: about Corey Jolkes a few years ago, and I will

983
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: never forget the name. So shout out Corey Jolks. I

984
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: got my wie, I got my number. Okay, three game series, uh,

985
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: the pitching matchups of Surez or Verlander? Right, so I'll

986
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: give you the matchups, right?

987
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 3: No?

988
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean you got to see if these

989
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: guys can be stolen Monday night game? Got paper from

990
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: Mark Dylan? Thank you? We have a pencil or penal?

991
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 3: Is it combined stolen bases?

992
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: That way with my marker? Okay? Yeah right? The market

993
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: that's fine, that's fun, right, yeah combined?

994
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 2: The Dad's gonna get on this estimate too, Can we have.

995
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: Hasnt fun? Yeah? How about that? That could be a

996
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: bonus point? Where was dad good too? Yeah? So you

997
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: guys will say at the same time and we'll show

998
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: at the same time. They'll be a bonus points ed in.

999
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: But Monday Night eight ten PM Max Scherzer versus Hunter Brown,

1000
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: the Astros very very talented start the rookie starting pitcher.

1001
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: And then Tuesday, Justin Verlander returning to Houston versus Frambervaldez,

1002
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: who's just one of the most underrated players in all baseball.

1003
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: And Wednesday afternoon to ten Talbert mcgivers Christian Javier. Okay,

1004

1005
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 1: am I doing? Why did I write it's so little? Okay?

1006
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: Now it's big, combined stolen base by both teams, three games, yep,

1007
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: all right, so we're gonna count it down. We're gonna

1008
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: show it. You guys say your numbers. It's gonna be

1009
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: a little confusing, yeah, and then we'll say ours after it. Yeah.

1010
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: So this is better for you two than podcasting. But

Speaker 4: Why don't you Why don't you really quickly give it

1014
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 4: to your dads and they can just add to it.

1015
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, and then they'll hold it under with their number. Okay,

1016
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: So we do that again.

1017
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 4: No, no, no, just keep going, just keep going.

1018
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll keep it going here right right, numbers on

1019
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: them and then just hold it up. Yeah, so what

1020
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: the number do you have?

1021
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 4: Four?

1022
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: I went five? I went five. I just we were

1023
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: lower than them. Yeah, what did you guys say? Oh

1024
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: so now with the bonus point, we're just totally neutralizing.

1025
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: I had six and James had seven.

1026
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: Okay, oh so now that waited. Yeah, and your dad,

1027
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: we're under you mind that were over. This is could

1028
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: be nothing, Well, we'll figure it out. Whatever We'll say.

1029
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: Someone gets exactly this is John. John will take care

1030
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: of John John. John will just be free.

1031
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: All right, nice people, thank you.

1032
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: So now just preview this series. I do want to

1033
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: talk about these pictures because they're just both really, really

1034
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: fun and we're only gonna see the astros once, so

1035
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: let's talk about them. And I feel like these two

1036
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: guys is for as good as they are, Hunter Brown

1037
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: and tranbur Valdez, they're not really super well known in

1038
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: baseball yet for like casual fans, someone just really pays

1039
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: attention to the Mets. But Hunter Brown burst on the

1040
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: scene last year. He had an electric debut, mostly because

1041
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: people know this that he has the exact same wind

1042
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: up in delivery as justin Verlanders got a copy, yeah,

1043
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: significantly smaller. Though Brown was only six two to ten

1044
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: and he must be must suck to be that small. Yeah, right,

1045
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: must suck to be that small. Sixty too a startling

1046
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: picture though it throws ninety seven miles. No, how that

1047
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: is pretty small and brown. While he has a great

1048
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: fastball that has pretty good life, pretty good shape. It

1049
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: just sits in the middle of his zone. Nobody hits

1050
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: scause he has that good hop. He's so good because

1051
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: even so young in his career, he has two standout

1052
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: breaking balls already, his slitherer and his curveball, which I

1053
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: believe is regarded as a knuckle curve I think so yes,

1054
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: and the slider. He's gonna just go sit it outside

1055
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: and that curve ball is gonna drop down like real

1056
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: twelve six fashion and see it's really he's really good.

1057
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: It's been one of my favorite pitching prospects in baseball

1058
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: for a very long time. Astraal the gradman a junior

1059
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: college and just kind of built him in their lab

1060
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: as as they they do. And he just looks like

1061
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 1: in a year where there's a lot of good rookies

1062
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: in baseball, he is absolutely one of the best. And

1063
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: he's he's been so good and they have so much

1064
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: confidence in him, they didn't reason I justin Verlander. I

1065
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: think about that one for a second. Yeah, and then

1066
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: forever ball does he probably the most underrated pitcher in baseball.

1067
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: He probably is. He He was always a guy who

1068
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: was more of the ground ball or the sen sixty

1069
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: percent ground ball, right, one of the highest in league forever,

1070
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, now he's just striking out

1071
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: a ton of guys twenty six per cent strikeout rate,

1072
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: highest rate his career so far, with five percent walk rate,

1073
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: which is the lowest of his career so far. So

1074
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: as he keeps getting better, keeps getting better. Evolution in

1075
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: the game. Also an amazing curveball. It's a little Slurvier,

1076
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: not Hunter Browns, more up and down. Valdez comes across

1077
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: like this, and he has the classic bowling ball sinker

1078
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: that you're just never really gonna be able to square off. Yeah,

1079
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: and anyone who was a fan of American League team,

1080
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen frambervall this beat you in the

1081
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: playoffs a few times already. The guy, the guys just

1082
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: really un hit the ball. Best stories in the league,

1083
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: and have my buddy, I've talked about a few times

1084
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: Nick Nick shout him out works at the Astros organization.

1085
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,959
Speaker 1: He said that Framber is completely wild. Yeah, he said

1086
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: that he's like flamboyant dresses and crazy clothes, like the

1087
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: master of vibes enthusiasm for that team in the clubhouse.

1088
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: And they have their managers the master of vibes too,

1089
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: with Dusty, Dusty and Buck. That's gonna be an all

1090
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: time like combined age of managers in baseball history is

1091
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: one of the oldest like managerial matchups ever. Definitely. And

1092
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: THEND you talk about Christian Vier, I did because Christian Avier,

1093
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 1: he was a guy who was ascending rapidly last couple

1094
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: of years. This year's lost a lot of life in

1095
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: his fastball, similar to what we've talked about Verlander this

1096
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: year year is just flattened out. And his thing was

1097
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: always having that really hoppy, like rising fastball because he

1098
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: doesn't really throw that hard, and he's also tiny bit

1099
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: smaller and he only has two pitches fastball and sliders.

1100
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: He was kind of doing what Spencer Striyvey was doing

1101
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: just in the American League almost as well last year. Yeah,

1102
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: but the fastballs flatted out this year and he is

1103
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: being hit harder so keep an eye on that. He's

1104
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: been giving up some home runs. Hopefully we can get

1105
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: to him too, because the other two guys are really

1106
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: good for you guys at home to eight ten start

1107
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: game or start times on Monday and Tuesday to ten

1108
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Because oh you did I said all that? Wow, yeah,

1109
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: blanked out that blank out. I was looking up, I

1110
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: was looking up the matchup I was looking at I

1111
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: was looking at their offense ahead of Kyle Tucker. Love

1112
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker.

1113
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 4: Is it?

1114
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: But he is.

1115
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: At the same time, is Jordan going to play? No,

1116
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: he's out for like a month? Cool? Yeah, well not awesome.

1117
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: Bad for baseball Love, Good for the Mets that he's

1118
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: not going to be playing because that definitely changes their

1119
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: offense quite a bit. Jose Bray, you we know, has

1120
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: been about as cold as you could be. Although he's

1121
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: heating two weeks. He had a good couple of weeks.

1122
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: Jeremy Payania World Series seventy. You guys know him well.

1123
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman like this is still a very very good

1124
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: team out two days around. They have been struggling a

1125
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: little bit. Granted their seven games over five hundred, which

1126
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: is not I'd love just struggling like that. But uh, yeah,

1127
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: this is you know, feels like a little bit of

1128
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: a world to your hangover team. We're gonna see old

1129
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: friend Raphael Montero, yep, which is always pretty funny. The

1130
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: fact that, oh he's good. To imagine that. Going to

1131
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: see a friend of mine, Brandon Black, who I played

1132
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: baseball with. Got to mention it every time my dad.

1133
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: Can ask you, is he on the roster again he was.

1134
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 1: Recently sent down. No, he's on the roster right now. Yeah,

1135
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: he's on the roster. He's been used quite a bit,

1136
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: especially like in kind of the long stretch role. Nothing

1137
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: really to worry about, I will say, like, unfortunately, but

1138
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: he was pretty he was pretty quiet. Played with him,

1139
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: I caught him. He was he was a beast.

1140
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 2: He was special. Everyone knew all the dad's you know,

1141
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: your travel team, bring the kids together from all over

1142
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 2: the place, bring the kids all over the place. Sorry,

1143
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 2: And we watched him and we were like, whoa, he's thirteen.

1144
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: He's different.

1145
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: He he was different. He hit different. It sounded different

1146
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 2: on it coming off his bat, and when he threw

1147
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: the pop of the MIT was like, wow.

1148
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: This gonna be some funny if you guys watched on YouTube.

1149
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: But you guys know both of our dads. You can

1150
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: hear our last names, Shiano and Luino. You can see them.

1151
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Brooklyn, Like these are the Italian guys.

1152
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: As they talk with their hands, they're not really used

1153
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: to having microsoftice and they start talking with their hands

1154
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: and the microphones further away. So it's gonna be a

1155
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: good shout out for Feto Fred. But I'm gonna wrap

1156
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: this up. It's been a long episode.

1157
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 4: Hold one second before we go, I do want to

1208
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: my sister at home because I came from my apartment

1209
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: that my dad changed three times before coming to the

1210
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: ballpark today to wear the red shirt. And and you

1211
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: see he's wearing this nice Mets polo. He has a

1212
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: change of clothes, his bag over there. He's carrying around

1213
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: another jersey all day, just in case he wanted to

1214
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: do the jersey instead of the polo. Listen, I was

1215
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: a boy scout.

1216
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:43,920
