53
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: gonna come out. It's gonna be like an eight part Yeah.

54
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like it's like a thirty for thirty just

55
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: about every single thing that happened in Mets from like

56
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 4: two thousand and five twenty ten, which that was.

57
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: That was like our prime of a Mets fans.

58
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: So I hope a lot of you guys were maybe

59
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: a similar age, a little bit older, maybe a little

60
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: bit younger. You guys missed that era. You guys will

61
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: enjoy that a lot. But if you think nine ten

62
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: year old Mark and James ever thought they'd be talking

63
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: to omarmonya not just for like small chances, not just

64
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: like a hey, how are you? But like two hours

65
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: and now we're gonna do another couple hours being complimented

66
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: by Omarmonia. Yeah, that'd be nice. Gets stories from woman

67
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: and Iya. Yeah, that was it was.

68
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: It was pretty amazing. That was like a little every

69
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: single time we do this, like a little culmination, like

70
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: one more step forward, one more cool thing.

71
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: Cool.

72
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: At some point, you know it's gonna be great. It's

73
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna be great.

74
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

75
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 4: Now let's talk about some Mets stuff here. At first,

76
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 4: Silver Slugger nominations. The Mets had a ton of them

77
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: because they had a really good season. A lot of

78
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 4: good heathers to see appropriate time to use the word

79
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 4: of litany. Yeah, litany, Okay, nice sat word of today.

80
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: Haven't haven't dropped that on you guys in a while.

81
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 4: We've been so focused on baseball when we first started

82
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: the podcast, the Mets we're not playing so well, so

83
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 4: we could just drop in those fun I say, tea words.

84
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 4: Now it's all baseball, but as we know, it's the

85
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: off season. So at first base, of course, the Mets

86
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 4: got Pete Alonzo. He's going up against gold Schmidt, Freeman Olsen,

87
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: and Christian Walker. Peter Alonso is my pick, no kidding,

88
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 4: I think Osma probably won or it's a really tough

89
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: position there. Definitely definitely third though, Yeah, definitely definitely third.

90
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: Second base. We got Jeff McNeil, who got nominated, going

91
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: up against Jake Cronworth, Guitel Marte, Colton Wong, and Brendan Rodgers.

92
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: If Jeff McNeil does not win.

93
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: This, I was gonna say he has to be the

94
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: odds on favorite Riots, right Marte even play this year,

95
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: that's crazy he's on here. He also, I think had

96
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: a bad year. I don't think even played well because

97
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: he was on My Friends Night.

98
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: He got hot and cold at times. I'm gonna get it.

99
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 4: Is that bats heere because that's just kind of ridiculous.

100
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one hundred percent of Jeff McNeil, not even five,

101
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: not even five.

102
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: How does he qualify?

103
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean five to fifty eight play appearance is

104
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: one hundred thirty seven games like that part is not crazy,

105
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: But twelve homers and.

106
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: That's two for the average. It's gotta be Jeff one

107
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: oh two w Orc plus it's probably Jeff McNeil here

108
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: a medding title and he was also cald sneak.

109
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: He had a good year.

110
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't care she should. Jeff Niel the best year

111
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: of that list for sure. Didn't get anyone at third base,

112
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: as we know shortstop we did get someone though, we

113
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: got Francisco Lindor, which that makes a lot of sense

114
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: going up against Trey Turner, Willia Domas and Dansby Swanson.

115
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: This one's close. You probably won't win it, though.

116
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 4: This one's probably for Turner, and then they'll probably give

117
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: dance Be the gold glove and I'll just be another

118
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: chip on Lindoors shoulders for next year.

119
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like if this was maybe like nineteen

120
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: eighty four, Franciscool and door can haven't locked up because

121
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: he drove in a ton of runs, but try turned

122
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: the higher batting average y four. I think he still

123
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: finds the way to look maybe, Okay, it'd be a

124
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: bit close. It'd be close in the outfield. A couple

125
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: of mets as well, which I like to see because

126
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: these guys definitely deserve to get some recognition. Offensively, Starling

127
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: Marte and Brandon Neimo. They going They're going up against

128
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts, Kyle Schwarber, Juan Soto, Jock Peterson, Michael Harris,

129
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds, and Hunter renfro So. I think both of

130
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: those guys legit have a chance because they picked three right,

131
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: So what's the un foy has shocking the good year.

132
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I was about to chastise that pick, but he actually

133
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: played quite well this year. Yeah, no, he did. Jock

134
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: obviously had the hot start to the year.

135
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nimo, theres no reason Nimo should win that or Marte.

136
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: Even I know Martine didn't you know, play at the

137
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: end of the year.

138
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: But I mean, I think Harris, Harris and Mookie is

139
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: gonna be hard to defeat. It's gonna be hard to

140
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: beat Schwarber as well. Maybe with the home runs, Yeah,

141
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 4: maybe get one in there. Yeah, I'd like to like

142
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: to sneak in one and outfield end as well. Jeff

143
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 4: McNeil got nominated again, this time at the utility position

144
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: because they also have a utility for Silver Sluggers, so

145
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: he could in theory, and he should based on this list. Yeah,

146
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 4: win two Silver Sluggers in one year, which I don't

147
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 4: think he's ever been done before. Everyone is so horning

148
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: for Tommy Edmond after this year, and they're going to

149
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: find a way to give him as many awards as possible.

150
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: They probably does not deserve going up against Brandon Dreury,

151
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: Edmund tyro Estrada and Chris Taylor.

152
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: I mean, did that have great year.

153
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: I don't want to chastise Admint, but I think Jeff

154
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 4: McGill's had a better one, especially if you just say

155
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 4: the play just strictly hit it, Yes, just strictly.

156
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: There's no almost no argument there.

157
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: It's gotta be. Jeff McNeil is a finalist. Yeah, had

158
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: a sneaky good year.

159
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: He had a good year. He was on my fantasy team,

160
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: as I think the bigger grape is Chris Taylor. I

161
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: don't think Chris Taylor should be anywhere close Tyrostraw.

162
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: That carried me in like my.

163
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: Deepest fantasy baseball league because he just I took him

164
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: in like the forty seventh round just base just based

165
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: on the fact that he had like really good triple

166
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 4: A stats last year in a great batt rate and

167
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: a very small sample and he just played every single day.

168
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: Tyro part of the great players that I was able

169
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: to pick up on the waiver wire this year to

170
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: really boost up my dynasty team in the league. I'm

171
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: in with you so absolutely. I know for sure he

172
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: had a great year. And then we got Buck show

173
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: Walter being nominated for the National League Manager of the Year. Yep,

174
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean dead grey year Gray Year. Great people out there.

175
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: Good luck to Buck. Yeah, good luck, bring another one

176
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: home for the Metals too, luck Buck, good luck Buck,

177
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: good luck, good luck Buck. And then I guess we'll

178
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: just talk about the World Series briefly, right, I mean

179
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: we should.

180
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: It was too It was unbelievable. Weekend of baseball was

181
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 4: a really good weekend. Like both games were good, and

182
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: but one game was good because it was a good game.

183
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 4: Another game was really good because Phillies got smoked.

184
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: Would have preferred if Dusty Baker woke up a little

185
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: bit in Game one and didn't let Justin Verlander go

186
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: out there again, because I don't like that the Phillies

187
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: were able to sneak one away when they were down

188
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: five to nothing.

189
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, for all the.

190
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: People out there, maybe aren't as closely tuned into the

191
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 4: World Series as possible.

192
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: I mean I wasn't super closely tuned in until the

193
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: World Series.

194
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: The Astros jumped out to a big lead against Aaron

195
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: Nola in the Phillies hit him well, yes, and then

196
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 4: Justin Verlander just kind of let them.

197
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: Bleed away, blee the way blee the White bleed away.

198
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 4: And I do feel like as a manager there has

199
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: to be a little bit of like a discomfort in

200
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: the fact that you're like, absolutely, you're your ace.

201
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: The cy Young in the American League.

202
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 4: Probably, Yeah, the guy was one of the best pictures

203
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: in all baseball this year when the best pitchers led

204
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 4: in the last genration of baseball. He just is he

205
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 4: continues to not be able to get it done the

206
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: World Series. I think after that game, any pitcher with

207
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 4: at least thirty innx pitch, he has the highest World

208
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: Series ra of all time. Yes, epistically, Justin Verlander might

209
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: be the worst World Series pitcher ever. It's always something

210
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: that you almost because you're not going to take that

211
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: as bonds, like a thirty inning sample, and you can't

212
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: you almost can't believe he's still going to be this ineffective, right.

213
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like at some point you think he's

214
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: got to figure it out because he's just he's so

215
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: good and you just saw him pitch off of Tommy

216
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: John a phenomenal year. But at the same time, sometimes

217
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: guys just can't get it done in that scenario. Maybe

218
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: that's the case. I mean, we've seen with the Dodgers.

219
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: You look at the Dodgers every year and you go

220
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: they should win the World Series. On paper, that's the

221
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: best team in baseball arguably, and they haven't won a

222
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: real World Series since the eighties, so.

223
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: I mean the old format there will have one plenty

224
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: of World Series, like all those Yankee World Series Dodgers

225
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: one half when there was eight teams in the league. Yeah,

226
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 4: and then one team won. One team throwing straight from

227
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: the National League to the World Series.

228
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.

229
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with uh, you know,

230
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: Verlander in the postseason. It's tough, but we're not an

231
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Astros podcast. We don't even have to really worry about

232
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: it too much. I want to look at it briefly.

233
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 4: That kind of like being able to look at this stuff, like,

234
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: go take a loft of last He's fine, Like.

235
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: What's crazy? Is he was perfect? Yeah? Nine up nine.

236
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: It felt like that was gonna be it. That's like

237
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: the curse almost too though, is that because he was perfect?

238
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: It almost gives like a false sense of security to

239
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: a manager where it's like, well, he was so dominant

240
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: and then must just be one batting, must just been

241
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: a fluke.

242
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 4: Here's the big thing here, John justin very lines didn't

243
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 4: get any whistle with a slider.

244
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: Mmm, and you all I got one with non fast

245
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: that's big.

246
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: So I think you feel like it's a magic Maybe

247
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: you saw that at time through that these pitches aren't

248
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 4: really biting. That could have been your inclination and maybe

249
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: only captain four or five. Then it's like it's like

250
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 4: it's respecting, Like you're gonna take justin Verland Ra have

251
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: a World Series game the fourth inning.

252
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean down to that.

253
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: The offense stopped hitting as well after they put up

254
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: completely stopped against the phil His bullpend that we know

255
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: is very hittable, So it's very hittable.

256
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 4: But you gotta re you gotta give credit work. It's

257
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: been awesome this whole postseason run.

258
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they have. But Jose Alvarado into it.

259
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: You felt confident since I was.

260
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 4: Alvarado came back up to the major leagues after his

261
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 4: like sitting down. He's been incredibly effective back guy. I'll

262
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 4: give credits that.

263
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: Gothlin's a dude. I've loved that. I'll give Ethly credit

264
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: the p teller issue. We learned how to follow through

265
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: only about four years ago. Now, if the Phillies are smart,

266
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: he'll never start another game for them. Yeah, I mean,

267
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: he's got good stuff. It's all right.

268
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: We got to talk about this for a second because

269
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: it's pretty upsetting and aggrivating. But the Phillies are like

270
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 4: on the doorstep winning a World Series with the Mets strategy. Yeah,

271
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: having two monsters and then the freakiest clothes you can find.

272
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

273
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 4: Just the fact that their monsters are a little bit

274
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: younger and their closer isn't is per We don't perceive

275
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: hims being as good.

276
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: Sir.

277
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: Anthony Dominguez has been one of the best players in

278
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 4: the entire postseason.

279
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: He's like really good.

280
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: So the birth of a superstar has the way it's

281
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: he comes into the game. There's almost like there's no

282
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: chance for anybody to get a hit. He made like

283
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Alvas look bad. Yeah, it's tough to make or

284
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: not look bad. I don't know, that's that part of it,

285
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: especially frustrating for me. David Robertson, though, looks very hittable.

286
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: So if you're the act, way you want David Robertson

287
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: to come in the ninth again, because.

288
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: They had him on the ropes in the tent.

289
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: Historically historically bad at bat for a guy who looked

290
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: like he had zero interest in hitting. I've never seen

291
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: someone like that overtly showing they don't want to be

292
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: in a moment at all.

293
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: I was out.

294
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: I was at the Halloween party Friday night, and I

295
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 4: went watching the game a little bit there.

296
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: That was a Halloween party.

297
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: Great time, Halloween party. Good question, Yeah, I so I

298
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: get trying to get creative Halloween. I don't want to

299
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: buy anything.

300
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: So I listen, now, come on, absolutely not, That's how

301
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: it works.

302
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: I have this black still grobe though where sometimes like

303
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: certain concerts or even sometimes just like around my house

304
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: to be got Yeah, some once in a while Brooklyn, John.

305
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: I didn't know that they did that in Brooklyn, all right.

306
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean some one time I wore with like black jeans,

307
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: like a black T shirt. It was like a formal look.

308
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: It was isolated. You've seen John, you've seen Yeah, you

309
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: don't know anything about James outside the city field, but

310
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I so I rocked. I rocked that with whatever proper

311
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: term was used for that.

312
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: That's the one.

313
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: What's the other one? You'll be that style of white

314
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: tank top with the lines and everybody knows that's.

315
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: A little under shirt under under it was.

316
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: It was a tank top. It's like it's it was

317
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: a white undertank whatever put in the log though, I mean,

318
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: of the two options, thought that one was better.

319
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: Glad you said.

320
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: I wore that with Gray's wetpants and I had a

321
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: newspaper with me and I was a stay at home dad.

322
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: That's why it's funny. It cost you nothing, you.

323
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: Know, it cost me nothing, And it was a big hit.

324
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: I was scrambling though I was gonna make it to

325
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: that party. I was scrambling for ideas and you marked

326
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: the party and he was like I'm gonna go. I

327
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: need the costume in the last seconds like I'm not coming. Yeah, whateverson.

328
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: In retrospect, it was good because we didn't have a

329
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: day on Saturday.

330
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a DA day.

331
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: But so I went after that to a bar in

332
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: green Point shout out the Twins Lounge.

333
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: It's definitely more of like a like a funky Brooklyn

334
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 4: bar rather than a place with like beer in sports.

335
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: And even though there is good beer there but no TVs.

336
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 4: So I was sitting in the corner literally by myself,

337
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: watching the game on my phone, like banging on the bar,

338
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 4: like I separated from all the people. I went I

339
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: was like, I'm gonna watch baseball for twenty minutes, and

340
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 4: then then I went back.

341
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 3: I led him as dis man.

342
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: It was just like I've never seen someone not wanted more.

343
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: David Robertson was on the rope on the right, Like

344
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: the only guy who wanted it less than David Robertson

345
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: happened to be the guy who played it. Let me

346
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: is the because Robertson wanted nothing to do with that.

347
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta shout out the Phillies in that game.

348
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: They kept You're down off the board al to only

349
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: got it hit late like they I mean, I just

350
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: guess they're playing good baseball right now, like as much

351
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: as they hate them, Like Kyle Tucker's been really credible.

352
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: He's one of the best players in baseball.

353
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 4: And I'm happy the lot more of the world is

354
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 4: starting to realize that Alex Bregman is just statistically like

355
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: the best World Series.

356
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: Player every none of them as far as their basements go. Especially,

357
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: But the Phillies got tight you when they had to,

358
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: and that that was a massive win for them to

359
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: change the entire complexion of the series. As Dominae Game

360
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: two dominated game to dominate game wasn't close. Game three

361
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: will be happening as we are currently recording this. Basically,

362
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: uh no, no, Kinderguard bounced out of this one. Sometimes

363
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: the moment's too big. You know, we can understand that.

364
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: You know, he's skipped the game against the.

365
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 4: Mets too, just a couple games against Yeah, I mean also,

366
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: like if I'm the Phillies, like I'm not stupid here,

367
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: Like he's a guy who can only give you three

368
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: four innings Max.

369
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to.

370
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: I want to push that back until we absolutely know

371
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: we need it, especially after they did use Ragers Swartz

372
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: in relief in Game one, so they needed that extra

373
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: rain delay brain day buffer Alwaukee. I mean, hey, sometimes

374
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: you get lucky. That's Team out baseball, where Team of

375
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Destiny vibes is too much.

376

00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: Pat Hoburg one hundred and twenty nine out of one

380
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty nine properly called non swung at.

381
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: The Jew, and I do believe he is the highest

382
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: scored umpire in baseball during the regular season as well.

383
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: And then in the World Series. With literally the world watching.

384
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: You to be perfect, perfect, good.

385
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: That's one of the greatest feats in baseball history when

386
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 2: you think about it.

387
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: Okay, harder, Yeah, none of mine. Never mind, I'm not

388
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: gonna say nope, I'm gonna hold that one. I was

389
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna ask a questions.

390
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 4: You have one two grand slams of one inning, Yeah,

391
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 4: that's going down. Is probably one of the craziest.

392
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: I mean crazy, sure, but like you need the basis

393
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: to be loaded, that's true, you're just hitting the hole run.

394
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: Pat Hoberg was one nine World Series game.

395
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: Didn't Burley have fourteen straight perfect innings.

396
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: Go after his? Yeah? Say yea perfect maybe?

397
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 4: I remember you went in a little bit into the

398
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: next game with one too. That was one of the

399
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 4: most impressive feests that'll be right, especially on a stage

400
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: like that. And we've seen umpires like a few alter

401
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 4: series before, Like it's cool to see it pure.

402
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: Especially with barking from both sides.

403
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: There are studies about this with umpires and any referees,

404
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: like when home crowd and you know, there's a lot

405
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: of influences that impact human beings, of course, so to

406
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: not let any of that excess noise impact the way

407
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: that you are going about.

408
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: Officiating in a World Series game.

409
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: I mean I I umpired some little league baseball in

410
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: my day, and you know I pride myself as someone

411
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: who knows the strikes some pretty well.

412
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

413
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Can we so we've we've had John the ball boy.

414
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: Can we get John the umpire for something we gotta

415
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: get No, not major league game, get a little league

416
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: field and let umpire. Maybe we developed our teams lace

417
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: up the cleats again.

418
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: But I wear the bubble chest protector over the s

419
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: of course you do.

420
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: You do the hold in front or just holding in

421
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: fron school because you don't want to caught in the

422
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: collar bone.

423
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: You want to have the ability to move that thing around.

424
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: We got to hear the strike call.

425
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: What do you want to hear? Strike one or two

426
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: or three? I mean, there's they're all different. One two,

427
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: give us one two three? All right, dragon, that's good.

428
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: That's strong. That's a strong call.

429
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to.

430
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: I like to. That's pretty good.

431
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: And the punch, the punches, I mean we're always punching.

432
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always punch anyway. Yeah, anyway, I made a

433
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: kid cry once. Really it was a girl from our

434
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: high school's younger brother. I got very dirty looks for

435
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: every single time I ever saw. I was more of

436
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: a basketball referee than I was an umpire. I just

437
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: it was more prolific. I at one time had to

438
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: officiate through a massive brawl a fourth and fifth grade.

439
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 4: Elemetric. There was like there was like a man half

440
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: left in the game and I was there. The way

441
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 4: we set it up, always there was like an older

442
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 4: ref and a younger ref. I was like, oh yeah,

443
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: I was like a sophomore. I remember the time. I

444
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: think the other kid was like a college kid coming

445
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: back or even a senior, and it was just like

446
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 4: a chippy game.

447
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: There was like one never was like young. Basketball league

448
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: is always like.

449
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: That one big kid.

450
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the kid was just he was a big

451
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: kid and he was like he had a lot of

452
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: masks too, and he had a lot of size.

453
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 4: And he was getting hacked. I'm not gonna call every

454
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: one of those fouls. You can never call everyone of

455
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 4: those fouls. And I was getting schirprise Dad the entire game.

456
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 4: Rect League, Yeah, oh of course, nice. It was the

457
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: it was Rector League was the Cuyo, so it was little.

458
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: His parents were much less tame.

459
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

460
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: I mean depending on the day sometimes you never know.

461
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: We can go back and forth. But the other team

462
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: had like a very aggressive point guard.

463
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: I remember this Vid Leagues, especially because he was someone

464
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: we went to school with younger brother er oh nice

465
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: ouy yes so. And there was just a play where

466
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: they basically came to each other at the front court

467
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: like the two stars, and there was a shot and

468
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: then another kid jumped in and it was like we

469
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: were just like grabbing arms and bodies and like like

470
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: separating children.

471
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 4: And the crazy part but the first planing was we

472
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 4: didn't end the game. We didn't finish the game. We

473
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: got everyone off the court. People were pissed about that.

474
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 4: Greatest part about the story is a few months later

475
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: in the win in the summers, i was a lifeguard

476
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: at the town pool and I'm sitting in Westville Morial pool.

477
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: They had a beautiful water slide, one of their best features.

478
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 4: And I'm sitting at the bottom of the slide taking

479
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: to the bomb of the slide. It's a good slide,

480
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: great slide. I'm in the pool like lounge, and I

481
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: got my float. I'm hanging out, I got the whistle floating.

482
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 4: We're having a good time.

483
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: And someone comes behind me and said hey, and I

484
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: turned back and it was the dad of the big

485
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: kid from the rec.

486
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 3: League game and let it go.

487
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: Man.

488
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: I had to sit there for the next like fifteen

489
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: minutes because that was how long the post took. And

490
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: he charted me the whole time about rec league basketball,

491
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: his son getting not getting foul calls in January was July.

492
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: What a loser memory? Well it was.

493
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was my story from from that was all

494
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: stories from officiating games. And that just shows the true

495
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: appreciation we can have for perfection of pass.

496
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 3: What a job.

497
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 4: What a job, And we should wrap up World Series.

498
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 4: I want to say one one step before we go.

499
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 4: Something I told Mark on Saturday that was pretty disheartening.

500
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 4: If if the Phillies do wrap this up, they do

501
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: the whole thing. I'm not gonna say the sentence, but

502
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: if they do finish it, this will be the third

503
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 4: consecutive full season of Major League Baseball that the Astros

504
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: lost the World Series to a team from the National

505
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: League East with less than ninety five wins.

506
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: If that happened, the season sounds like we're due. If

507
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: that happens, I mean, theoretically, or we really missed the boat.

508
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: Either way, the third straight year. Either way, we don't

509
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: have one this year, and this will absolutely completely destroy

510
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: any dynasty that they thought they were building in Houston. Yeah,

511
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: it's like the best, this is a big dynasty, but

512
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: this is a huge teether moment for a dynasty if

513
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: they lose.

514
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 3: Is it not a dynasty?

515
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: Like and I don't know, it's like it is in

516
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: all sense of like we understand what they've built there.

517
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: It's an impressive run, but it's definitely not dynasty. It's

518
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: not enough champions. Are the bills of dynasty when they

519
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: had that run where they kept losing every year, certainly not.

520
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: Guess history says no. Yeah, I don't know.

521
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: It's tough. I mean, like, it's so hard to get

522
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: there over and over and over and over.

523
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take I'll take what the Astros

524
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: have done. I'll take it ten times all day. But

525
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: it's just I don't think they could be concerned.

526
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 4: I think that this World Series, it really changes the

527
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 4: full perspective of how we're going to view this generation

528
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: of Astros team, even the generation of baseball in general,

529
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: because then you lose that one dominant team becomes this

530
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 4: hodgepodge of bad National League's teams that weren't the Mets

531
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: winning World Series.

532
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 3: Oh boy, all right, let's end it on that note.

533
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: Let's end the world through your stalk on that note,

534
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: Cuz we haven't talked about the minor leagues in a

535
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, obviously, this season's over. No kidding, thanks

536
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: for that one, Mark actually months. Yeah, it's been a

537
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: really long time and it's too busy. You guys always

538
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: tell us you love to hear about the minor league

539
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: stuff whenever we talk about it, because there's not really

540
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: a great place to get a lot of this information

541
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: if you're a Mets fan. So let's go ahead and

542
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: start talking about that. I did a super super super

543
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: deep dive into all the guys that had good years.

544
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: If you don't hear us talk about a player, it's

545
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: probably because they had a disappointing year. Guys like Brett Baty,

546
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez, guys who made up to the majors. Not

547
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna even talk about them. Because they made it to

548
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: the majors. You heard about them, they've done well. And

549
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: we're also not going to talk about the picks from

550
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: the past year, like Jeff Williams Kevin Prada. Just because

551
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: their samples are so incredibly small, it's not really worth

552
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: speaking about. Yet they all played well.

553
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: We should at least mention that all three of those

554
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: guys had very encouraging starts to their careers, especially in

555
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 4: a Mets team right now where they're really looking for

556
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 4: impact pitching prospects. Blade Tedwell god Rave reviewers looks away

557
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 4: from Scot fastball sly they're both look amazing. He has

558
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: that true that size of a frontline pick shoulders. Yeah,

559
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 4: he's a he's a big fella. So we're really excad

560
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 4: ab all three of those guys. Hopefully we maybe talked

561
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 4: to them at some point in the future or tell

562
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: you guys more about them when they play more, but

563
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 4: push those off for now.

564
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: Yes, So let's talk about Alex Ramirez, who is probably

565
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: the highest ranked prospect that we can talk about. Me

566
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: are losing a lot of guys. He might be might

567
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: be their number one possibly going into next year. I

568
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: think he's definitely number one. Yea, yeah, I think he

569
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: should be finding on how you compare him to Marisia.

570
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: But he had a really good year second year. This

571
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: was a guy that you found before anybody was really

572
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: on to the top. Shout out to you, James, tip

573
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: your cap there. Great year for f him two eighty

574
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: one average, three forty six on base four thirty six,

575
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: slugging seven eighty two oh ps. He the highest batting

576
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: average in the Mets farm system, which is a nice

577
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: little thing to you know, put.

578
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 3: It on your resume. For Alex Ramirez, who was also young.

579
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: To eighty one, was the highest batting average Mets farmsists

580
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: of guys that are actually like franciscoare like, those guys

581
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: don't really count again its actually probably wasn't even well.

582
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: He was like, you know, those guys eventually did come

583
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: up one nineteen WRC plus which was really good, and

584
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: he saw a six home run improvement from twenty twenty one,

585
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: which is hu huge. This was a guy who was

586
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: really young, playing at a pretty high level for his age.

587
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: He's continuing to improve. Also cut the k rate down

588
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: to twenty two percent and walk went all the way

589
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: up to eight, which is nice.

590
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 4: That was critical for Alex Jamiroz because when you have

591
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 4: a prospect that's as tooled up as him, tools are there, Yeah,

592
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 4: the tools are insane. You really want to be able

593
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 4: to see play discipline comics. That's the one thing that

594
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 4: can really hurt these guys, and we saw some meteoric

595
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 4: rises of guys in single A this year. I think

596
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 4: about Jackson Schorio and the Brewers system, who out of

597
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: nowhere just stopped really striking out.

598
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: He started the truck out a lot.

599
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 4: But just like he married the power with the no strikeouts,

600
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 4: Ramira still is definitely behind the elite class of like

601
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 4: these top ten right now prospects. Is not to say

602
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 4: he's not someone can get there in the future, and

603
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: a big reason for that is because he caused Kray dramatically.

604
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: Yep, he jumped. He jumped the level.

605
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 4: First of all, his k rate stayed the same while

606
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: he stay out sorry the year Saint Lucie where he

607
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 4: played all of last year, and then the ended the

608
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 4: year at Hi A and Kraate was way down.

609
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: No play hit it in Brooklyn's hard, in Brooklyn's very hard,

610
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: and he didn't.

611
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 4: I mean he didn't really hit that well in Brooklyn's

612
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 4: only six percent better than league average in terms of

613
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: WRC plus. But just the fact he was able to

614
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: go there and not struggle, He's what twenty nineteen, he's

615
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 4: still nineteen season nineteen, so we'll play next year at twenty.

616
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 4: He'll reach double a twenty years old, which is that

617
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 4: kind of like elite level yep, And just comes down

618
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: to whether he can draw the walks and keep the

619
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: shrackcass down and find the power because he's still he's

620
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: still more tools than production, especially in terms of power. Yes,

621
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 4: he's got the long lever, he's got like the twitch

622
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 4: up body of like, we need to see that become

623
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 4: power one hundred percent.

624
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: And it's not just not saying can't. There's also not

625
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: no saying that it will.

626
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 4: I've just I don't know, I've become more I've started

627
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 4: to think prospects so much more in terms of like

628
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: data and stats in the last like year or so,

629
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 4: just like working with more like day at work, and

630
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 4: like he has a lot of what you want to see,

631
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 4: but we still need to see one more level before

632
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 4: we're like this guy is elite one hundred percent. That's

633
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 4: a complete Like everything he's put in this foundation, it's

634
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 4: everything you want to see from a guy at this

635
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 4: age level in production.

636
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of another prospect, we've got Ronnie Mauricio.

637
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 3: You guys.

638
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: Obviously, Alway's been one of the top prospects in the

639
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: Mess system for a long time. He had a pretty

640
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: decent year as well. Two fifty nine average, two ninety

641
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: six on base for seventy two, slugging seven to sixty

642
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: seven ops. That is the highest slugging percentage of his career,

643
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: which is big, huge. That also builds into the next

644
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: ats I'm gonna tell you about twenty six homers and

645
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: twenty stolen bases.

646
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: It's kind of sick for a.

647
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Guy who can be a twenty twenty guy at the

648
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: age I think he's what twenty twenty one years old

649
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: as well, He's another young buck. Most home runs by

650
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: anyone not named Francisco Alvarez in the farm system, so

651
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: that's a cool thing. Daniel Palca I think technically tied him,

652
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: but that's whatever.

653
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 3: John's boy.

654
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: He also had the most RBIs in the Mets farm

655
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: system and fifth most stolen bases. The problem with Ronnie

656
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: is that he doesn't walk. No, he's never gonna walk.

657
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: I think I've just accepted that he's never going to

658
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: learn how to walk. But he did cut down the

659
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: case a bit this year, so that's something to you know,

660
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: keep in mind, especially when he showed a boost of

661
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: power and.

662
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 4: He was able to jump a level and not seem

663
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 4: to get crushed. Yeah, that was a big deal. Like

664
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 4: the fact that Rhyn Vers he was able to go

665
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 4: to double A and be able to play good baseball

666
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 4: still be by the league average, still just twenty one

667
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: year old, which is still young for the level.

668
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: That's a big deal.

669
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 4: And the power is real and the speed is real.

670
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 4: The speed's even funny because there have been some videos

671
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 4: going around of him in the Winter League.

672
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: He's playing for Lise.

673
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: He's playing so good by the way I got I

674
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: think he was just player of the Week of the

675
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: month or something. He just got a war there. So

676
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: he says Instagram. Ten games, two homers, five doubles, eleven RBI,

677
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: stole five bases and he has a ten sixty eight

678
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: oh ps get inside the park home run Towo's I'm

679
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: talking about because they're I like, Ryan Rizio is so big.

680
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: We've compared to the Brandon Marshall on this show before.

681
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: He's like really that large. He's think he's sixty five.

682
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: I want to say he's a huge sixty three and

683
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: he's listed at one to seventy. There's no way he's

684
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: one hundred seven. Baseball references him at two twenty two.

685
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 4: Now wow about the height sixty three Okay, still six three,

686
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 4: but two sixty to twenty two. That is an NFL

687
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 4: wide receiver literally, and he he has those big, long strides,

688
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 4: so when he gets going, he can really go, which

689
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 4: is impressive to be able to steal so many bases

690
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 4: without that kind of jump one hundred percent. But the

691
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 4: fact he has been able to stick a shortstop and

692
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 4: get at least moderately good reviews there, I think that

693
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: raised his floor.

694
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: Something we've talked about. I think, no doubt there's gonna

695
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 1: be something here with Ronnie. I don't know what it is.

696
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: And this isn't a bold statement by any means, because

697
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: he's been a top prospect forever, but I think there's

698
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: something here with Ronnie that's cooking where you're like, this

699
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be a ballplayer and he's gonna have some value.

700
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 4: We also just heard, just from people that we know

701
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 4: in the industry, and then also from everyone that's been

702
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: talking for the last couple of years, that he's been

703
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 4: in the center of a lot of trade negotiations. We

704
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 4: will know whether or not that was actually true this year,

705
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 4: but years past we've heard. So he's a guy that's

706
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: still covered and he still has a guy with a big,

707
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 4: big tool bag, and sometimes guys a little longer to

708
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 4: actually find that that's tried.

709
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: Before we get going into some more pitchers, I do

710
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: have a couple more hitters. I just want to briefly

711
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: mention here in the Prospect report.

712
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: I wanted to give one more comparison. There's a lost

713
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 4: toy comparison.

714
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 3: Go for it.

715
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 4: It took O'Neill's Cruz, so he was twenty four to

716
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 4: make the freacht of major leagues.

717
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 3: I think it's a fair comparison. I think it's a

718
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 3: fair Comparisonnie.

719
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 4: I don't think still only think Ronnie has that ceiling

720
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 4: just because he doesn't have the eggs of Los season

721
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 4: O'Neill Cruz show that similar age. O'Neil Cruz already hitt

722
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: the ball one hundred and fifteen miles an hour when

723
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 4: he was twenty one. Ronnie is still hitting like in

724
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 4: that hundred and six hundred eight range, which is still

725
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: above average. But it's not that, but just sometimes you're

726
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 4: a bigger guy like that, and you just kind of

727
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: have a lot more limbs to deal with it.

728
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: Takes a little bit longer.

729
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: Yep.

730
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: So now to talk about the other guy, because now

731
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: we got some I got some quiet guys that maybe, yeah,

732
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: aren't hearing too much about why Young I love this dude.

733
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: This dude's gonna be a ball player, no doubt.

734
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: Again.

735
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be MVP, All Star kind

736
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: of thing necessarily, but he's gonna be. He's gonna be

737
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: on this Mets team. At some point. We talked about

738
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: him briefly and one of our last prospect reports, there's

739
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a player. He's gonna be a player. Two

740
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: seventy average through sixty nine on base three three, slugging

741
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: seven to fifty two ops. Basically played every single level

742
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: this year. How old say he is weird?

743
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: I put it.

744
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: I think he's like twenty three, twenty three. He's twenty

745
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: three technically still twenty two, but he's gonna be twenty

746
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: three next year. He just had a really really good year,

747
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: showed a little bit of pop. Seven homers, twenty doubles,

748
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: he walks seventy times. He had the highest on base

749
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: percentage in the Mets farm system for guys that weren't

750
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: in the Dominican Summer League.

751
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: So is there a catch?

752
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, he doesn't really hit for any power.

753
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty much the biggest thing. But I'm seeing here's

754
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: also he's also my size. Yes, he's five to seven

755
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: point eighty five, a little thicker than me. But yeah,

756
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: he's he's a ballplayer's wall r at thirteen percent of

757
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: the time struck out under twenty percent. There's something there.

758
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: There's any plays, second, short and third base, utility guy definek.

759
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: He's like something there. Seems like a guy who is

760
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: probably very useful at some point for any team. We

761
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: had a couple other guys I want to mention too.

762
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: Omar de los Santos. Now, this guy is a weird

763
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: story because he was a twenty two year old playing

764
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: in Saint Lucie but kind of had a sick year.

765
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: Uh take that for what it is, playing way above

766
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: his age, but he had a two seventy two average

767
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: with a three thirty nine on base seven ninety eight ops.

768
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: He's still seventy bases this year at a ball kills

769
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: seventy as tied for the most of minor league baseball.

770
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: And stealing bases at that level because the rules were

771
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 4: a little bit different. They have the pickoff rules actually

772
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 4: coming to the midor League next year. We're only allowed

773
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 4: three throws over something like that. Yeah, And I don't

774
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 4: know if they have the big bases or not, but

775
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: it's almost like it's almost like a test in baseball

776
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 4: acumen if you can dominate that level just on the

777
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: base pass Like, I am better than these guys at

778
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 4: this thing, and I will use that advantage completely to

779
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 4: the fullest.

780
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. So cool to see that stole seventy bases with

781
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: sixteen homers, twenty three doubles and five triples.

782
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's some raw talent there. Again, same

783
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: thing a lot of these guys.

784
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: You'll be hearing that about last two Guys'm gonna mention

785
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: here on the offensive side before we start, you know,

786
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: talking about pitchers in Arizona Fall League. Jesus Bayez is

787
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: going to be the hot international prospect that the Mets

788
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: have this offseason, eighteenth according to Baseball America. He's a

789
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: seventeen year old, probably gonna end up playing third base

790
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: because of his size, but he has really good power.

791
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: And really good arm. And he had a good fifty

792
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: four games in the Dominican Summer League seven homers, nine doubles.

793
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: Good, good little year.

794
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: It's crazy as early list is one hundred and eighty

795
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: punds a seventeen year old. Yes, And what's crazy is

796
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: he can still grow because he is a child.

797
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, seventeen, Yeah, he can get.

798
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: He could be six feet by next time we're talking

799
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: about him. He could be that right now.

800
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: You really could be.

801
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't know the last time they measured Jesu

802
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: spay Is. It was very cool, though. You'd like to

803
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: see just those tooled up guys that are in the

804
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: system to try and you know, make the move to

805
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: the next level one hundred percent. And the last guy

806
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: that I found out about today just doing some research

807
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: and watching videos, I'm super excited about is William Lugo.

808
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: This guy is gonna be my weirdo to watch out for,

809
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: just like you haven't heard about him. But remember though

810
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: Mark's weird though the watch Yeah, remember you heard it

811
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: here first on the METSA podcast. William Lugo, the dude

812
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: hits I put expletives in the notes, but he hit

813
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: seeds the eggs of Vilos are approaching one hundred and

814
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: ten on balls that I could find, and I was

815
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: not really looking that he is. Where did I put

816
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: his age? I put his age somewhere, Did I not?

817
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: He's like twenty? I think, oh he is twenty. He

818
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: is twenty years old. And I'm giving him a lot

819
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,959
Speaker 1: of comparisons to Mark Vento's because their build, their size,

820
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: their entire thing is very similar. Vento's is drafted as

821
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: a short stop. This guy was supposed to be a

822
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: short stop. He's a third baseman because he's six foot three,

823
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: two thirty. He's an absolute unit and he hits the

824
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: ball really, really hard, playing one hundred and twelve games

825
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: this year, mostly between Saint Lucy in Brooklyn. Fourteen homers,

826
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 1: twenty five doubles, sixty three RBIs, seven to eighty oh

827
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: ps one to twenty one WRC plus he's so incredibly strong.

828
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: I think I think we could be seeing a Viento's

829
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: like trajectory for a guy like this.

830
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 3: Where they get him from. I don't know where he's from.

831
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: He's an international okay, yeah, yeah, international prospect, So in

832
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: terms of hitting, those are the big names I really

833
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about. We have some other guys that

834
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: are in the Fall League that we'll mention too later,

835
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: but I know we want to talk about a little

836
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: pitching too, because James has a he's a pitching whisper.

837
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 4: I tried to and Luka actually got a million dollar bonus. Okay,

838
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen, Yeah, okay, that's something there.

839
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on William Lugo. Yes, I want to

840
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: talk about your boy, Ziegler. I didn't want to talk

841
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: about boys.

842
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: Ziegler a Canadian boy.

843
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't even know if he's my boy.

844
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 4: He's just becomes such like a popular pitcher at this

845
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: point where it's almost like we he seemed to be

846
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: the guy that the Mets were hesitant to do anything

847
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 4: with and the off season a trade dead line because

848
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 4: it seems like a lot of potential in him. This year,

849
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 4: pitch the whole year at Saint Luci's sixteen stars, forty

850
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: six two thirds innings, pitch thirty five percent of strikeouts,

851
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: eighteen percent.

852
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: Walks, which is a little bit high.

853
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 4: He's also someone who didn't exactly have the most traditional

854
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 4: baseball back ground, so I'm sure he's still trying to

855
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: refine the command especially because he has very very very

856
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: very active fastball and Slyther, which is his whole calling card.

857
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 4: He's even a smaller guy, but does the specs on

858
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 4: those pitches got him drafted in the second round, which

859
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 4: is even a bit ambitious.

860
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: I believe people thought at the time.

861
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 4: Just having those two pitches, I mean, Ziegeler has a

862
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: floor of being at least at least a very good

863
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 4: reliever at some point, and the ceiling is still if

864
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 4: he can harness those two completely and even add possibly

865
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: another one, even possibly not, because we've seen a lot

866
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: of starters and that come to the league with just

867
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 4: those two pitches.

868
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: As long as it's those two pitches and you have

869
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: the very active fastball and the darthing Slyther, you can

870
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: do it.

871
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 4: I think Ziegeler is a prospect who he's probably still

872
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: a year away from being considered like a top one hundred.

873
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: This yuy I still walks so many guys, and he

874
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: still he.

875
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: Still doesn't have like a starter's build necessarily is still

876
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: concerned with how much he holds up over time. But

877
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 4: he's a guy who, like you can't watch his stuff

878
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 4: and not be excited about what he could possibly have

879
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 4: live Arm, Yes, very live arm. Another couple of guys

880
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 4: who I am excited about, A couple excited about in

881
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 4: different ways. Once Mike Vassel, who statistically was the most

882
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: impressive Mets pitcher in the minor leagues this year. He

883
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 4: won the Mets Minor League Pitcher of the Year award.

884
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 4: He threw seventy one and thirds innings, three five VRRA,

885
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 4: one seven to nine whip which for a guy he

886
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 4: was Saint Lucie and then to Brooklyn. It's a very

887
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 4: good season. Twenty nine percent strikeouts, nine percent walks. Invited

888
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 4: to the Arizona Fall League. Through twelve innings there three

889
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: six five VRA, twenty three percent strikeouts and fourteen percent walks.

890
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 3: But that small sample, small sample, but you know.

891
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 4: The walks and strikeouts, those will be a little bit

892
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 4: more indicative of a small sample, but probably a little

893
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 4: bit better of competition, and he was facing the minor

894
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 4: league season. He's someone though, who I still think might

895
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 4: wind up profiling.

896
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: This is more of a reliever.

897
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 4: He dropped out of the eighth round in the draft

898
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 4: two thousand and twenty one. He could have been a

899
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 4: first round pick, but it just he doesn't have exactly

900
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 4: like he doesn't really have the fastball that you cover

901
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 4: it as a starting pitcher.

902
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: It's it's really hard to get drafted high so out

903
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: of coming out of high school would have been but

904
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: he because he has the velocity. Yes, he has the velocity.

905
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: It's just he ended up falling a little bit too

906
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: because the COVID year killed him. He was a rigent

907
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: right get injured in college as well, but he just

908
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: everyone knows that there's something there.

909
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, fine, his Slyder's impeccable.

910
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: And it seemed like that this that the mess were

911
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: really looking for sliders in that draft twenty twenty one,

912
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: but they just took as many pitcher as they could find.

913
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and his Slyder's amazing.

914
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 4: That slytherer is a pitch that is gonna keep them

915
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,959
Speaker 4: on top of his prospect list forever, possibly drag him

916
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 4: to the major leagues one day. But the fastball, it

917
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: isn't getting the whiffs that I don't think that thought

918
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 4: it would get yet. And that's something that could definitely

919
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: still be developed, something that could change a little bit,

920
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 4: maybe something that moves to a color or two seam

921
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 4: or a sinker at some point, but it's not it's

922
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: more of a runner than a Ryther, and with a

923
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 4: guy with that kind of velocity sometimes that leaves a

924
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 4: little bit on the bone in terms of development. One guy, though,

925
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: who I think has the fastball to get into the

926
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 4: major leagues one day is Dominic Hambell, third round pick

927
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 4: of that same twenty twenty one draft for the Mets

928
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 4: to him Ziegler and Vassal tBu.

929
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 3: He went to a he did a little Juco thing

930
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: as well.

931
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: I think he went to Yavapaie, which is a Juco

932
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: powerhouse as well. Yava Pie. Yes, are you sure to

933
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: pronounce that right?

934
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

935
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: Yava Pie, yav a pie. It's why a Hebrew a

936
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: p ai. It really sounds Hebrew, Okay, I don't know.

937
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: I think it's Arizona, California, one of.

938
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 4: Those with twenty five appearances between Saint Lucian Brooklyn, but

939
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 4: the one hundred and ninteyendings on which is really good.

940
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: That's another reason why I think he does have a

941
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 4: little bit more of this uh stars built.

942
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: I think he's a bigger guy also than vassal End Ziegler.

943
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: He's got another big shoulders. Yes, yeah, you get and

944
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: you get the legs that the hips. The pitcher's hips

945
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: to thirty percent strikeouts, eleven percent walks, one point one

946
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: to five whip He he just I think he's the

947
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: guy who has the best chance to have multiple pitches.

948
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 4: His slider is very good, and the curveball and the

949
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 4: change up are coming on. The curveball flashes more in

950
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 4: the changeup has but his fastball has the physics that

951
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 4: you want a fastball. The fastball rise, it rises or

952
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 4: appears to be rising, it rides, basically when you throw

953
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: a four seam fastball and you get a lot of

954
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 4: backspin on it, so the piers like it's coming up

955
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: on the hither and it kind of even makes the

956
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 4: pier faster at times, and he has good excentria, so

957
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: it gets on him.

958
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: But he gets whiffs.

959
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 4: And the biggest thing we see the difference between pitching

960
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: prospects starting pitching prospects who make it and they hang

961
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: on that Starl's line depending on the ones that fall

962
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 4: off become relievers, is getting whiffs with your four seam fastball,

963
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 4: and his loss isn't even as good as fastals or Ziegler,

964
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 4: not that the physics are better. And that kind of

965
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 4: reminds me of a guy he's not even as big,

966
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 4: but a guy like Zach Gallen, who he had the

967
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 4: elite pitches and the fastball, even though it didn't look

968
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 4: that great. It kind of kept him under rated as

969
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 4: a project for a very long time, but it's what

970
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 4: dragged him the major leagues. Of course, Gallen also has

971
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 4: incredible command and the curve ball developed more than anybody

972
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 4: could have.

973
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: Massed Strom really helped him out too. Yeah, press would

974
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: be nice, but he was good before Ben Staum.

975
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 4: No, I know, I know, but I'm saying he took

976
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 4: him to the next live fact that he was able

977
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 4: to get with in the zone with a four seam

978
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 4: fastball without a lead velocity and without elite size, that

979
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 4: is a very big deal. And I think Dominic Hamill

980
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 4: is the guy who I'm looking at from this crop

981
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 4: of Mets pitchers who's a little bit underrated right now,

982
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 4: a little bit unheralded, and who could really be a riser.

983
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that's good.

984
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: I got you're talking about unheralded guys. I got a

985
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: couple unheralded pitchers that I did some research on as well,

986
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: that I feel like are super super interesting in this

987
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: Mets farm, system, which at times is talked about is

988
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: not really having any pitching depth. So one of the

989
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be Keyshawn ask you Shaw, ask you, tenth

990
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: round pick out of Clemson twenty twenty one lefty. Did

991
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: we see him at the Fall League or in Brooklyn?

992
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: I think Brooklyn? I think, well, actually I don't think so,

993
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: because I think he was in Brooklyn this year. I

994
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: think we've seen the name around. Yeah, maybe we're We're

995
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: watching the Mets minor leagues a lot. But Keishawn ask

996
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: you has been really really good this year. Tell us

997
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, So in eighteen appearances, eight starts, five

998
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: appearances in Brooklyn for them, starts sixty six and the

999
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: third innings thirty four percent, K eight ten percent, walk rate,

1000
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: walk rate, whip at like one basically one point zero

1001
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: seven fish with an ERA under two five, which is great.

1002
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: And then I saw a crazy tweet from Michael Mayer

1003
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: back in August that he faced eighty left handed hitters

1004
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: by August twenty fourth, and he struck out forty of them.

1005
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: If you watch him pitch, he looks like kind of

1006
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: Oliver Perezi with his arm slot and everything. Six four

1007
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: one ninety promising for sure. Do you know where he

1008
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: went to college?

1009
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 3: Clemson?

1010
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: I know, I really it really hurts me to give

1011
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: anybody from Clemson any sort of props.

1012
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 4: But it was cool though that a guy like that

1013
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 4: came out of college. And I know he has a

1014
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: plus slyther and he's is he a guy who throws

1015
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 4: from like a no. One of these he throw he

1016
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 4: throws like kind of here, he doesn't. It's weird when

1017
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 4: he six for four. You think he would fight more,

1018
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 4: but he he's more of like that side arm three

1019
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: quarter slot. All right, So I mean, like think of

1020
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 4: Oliver Prez. I feel like they look really similar. And

1021
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 4: it's been sinker to Samer sly that's it's a good

1022
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 4: way to get to the major leagues quickly.

1023
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: Another guy that's really interesting is gonna be Grant Hartwig,

1024
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: which I feel like, John, you've brought that name up

1025
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: to us before a.

1026
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 3: Few times during the regular season. That is correct.

1027
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: Grant Heartwig's had a really interesting year. He was signed

1028
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: out of Miami of Ohio as a twenty four year old,

1029
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: so he was not drafted six five, two thirty five.

1030
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: This dude's a unit.

1031
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: Was that the twenty twenty draft that was a short one. No,

1032
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: I think it was after twenty twenty one. I think

1033
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: they signed him, or maybe even after this year. I

1034
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: don't know. Whatever. It was six for' five two thirty five.

1035
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: And he has been nasty and relieved this year. And

1036
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: he pitched at every level thirty nine appearances, fifty six

1037
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: and two thirds innings, one point seventy five r A

1038
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: whip at one point zero nine, thirty five percent K

1039
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: eight ten percent walk rate, pump in mid nineties, struggled

1040
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: in the airs on a fall league so far, but again,

1041
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: you're a reliever, you have one bat outing and your

1042
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: fall leagu's ruined. Yeah, I mean he was undrafted two

1043
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: and twenty one. That's pretty unbelievable. Yeah, I value out

1044
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: of a guy that nobody wanted. I mean it's pretty impressive.

1045
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean it just sounds like it's like a guy

1046
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: who's high. Probably they reached the major league as reliever

1047
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. It's a big deal. Saw a big reliever.

1048
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: Brian Bryce Monta ste Oka got a shot this year.

1049
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: That's been finding some big guys, Like I say, I

1050
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: feel like there's also.

1051
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 4: A thing that's kind of been proliferated more in the

1052
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 4: last few years where teams are specifically like, you're gonna

1053
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 4: be a reliever and we know it right now, yes,

1054
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 4: because I feel like traditionally it was like you're a

1055
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 4: star there and you're not gonna be starting anymore, and

1056
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: now you should be a reliever.

1057
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: Well, there's one guy that I want to talk about

1058
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: too as well. There you go, Eric orse Orse or

1059
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: done this so many times. I think his pronunciations on

1060
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: it's orsy okay. Eric Rsey. He is a guy who

1061
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: could be in the bullpen next year and making immediate impact.

1062
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: Like we brought Drew Smith a lot this year as

1063
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: being like a guy who was ended up being really

1064
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: really valuable in this bullpen, but he started off the

1065
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: year as like, oh, he's gonna be like the captain

1066
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: of the backup squad basically in relief. And I think

1067
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: Eric Rsey has the potential to do that. We've talked

1068
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: about him before, fifth round pick out of the University

1069
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: of New Orleans. You know what I didn't know about him?

1070
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: Dude beat cancer twice?

1071
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: What twice?

1072
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: And I think it was in the same year, which

1073
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: is insane. He had particular cancer in twenty eighteen, beat

1074
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: it then got skin cancer later that summer. Beat it. So,

1075
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,959
Speaker 1: I mean, the dude's a fighter to say the least.

1076
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: And he's a really really really good pitcher. Fifty innings

1077
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: this year, thirty three percent k rate, six point seven

1078
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: percent walk rate. That's the best kate to walk ratio

1079
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: in the Mets farm system. The one weird thing is

1080
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: that he gets hit hard and gives up nukes. I

1081
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: can't wrap my head around it.

1082
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 4: But I mean, I mean that makes sense, you know,

1083
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 4: I mean, but he doesn't, like that's the hal He

1084
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 4: missed all the bats and the one time they hit

1085
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 4: it it ghost.

1086
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: He has. He had like a two k or home

1087
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: run per nine this year, which is like insane and

1088
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: like high hits. But called that statistically insignificant. Yeah, because

1089
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: when you see thirty three percent krate in six percent

1090
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: walk rate, I'll take that all day, all day.

1091
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 3: Really good splitter.

1092
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: One one thing about Orsi and I actually got to

1093
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time with him in spring training

1094
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: last year. The nicest dude, the most focused dude, the

1095
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: most humble dude.

1096
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, you know.

1097
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: He loves to hear about other people's stories and their

1098
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: battles and talk about his own and so open about it.

1099
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 2: But when it comes to baseball and baseball secondary with

1100
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: Eric Rzy, if you look at his twenty twenty one stats,

1101
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: that home run to fly ball rate was much lower

1102
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 2: than it was in twenty twenty two. There's a middle

1103
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: ground there that things are probably going to even out

1104
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 2: at some point.

1105
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1106
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 2: No, it's an unsustainable home run rate that he had, absolutely, absolutely,

1107
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean it's impossible not through it for

1108
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: Eric Horsy and like you said, definitely a guy that

1109
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: could be making an impact here at Cityfield next year.

1110
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: I can't wait for that because I mean, every met

1111
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: fan should be a Eric Corsey's corner.

1112
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get shirres you when he comes up. Oh,

1113
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 3: one hundred percent.

1114
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: No, he's a beast, and hopefully we'll have him on

1115
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: the podcast next year when he gets his call up,

1116
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: because I'm assuming, no, I don't think so, I don't know.

1117
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1118
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: He told me you loved New Orleans, though, there we go.

1119
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 2: He went from New Orleans to Brooklyn. Yeah, that's pretty crazy,

1120
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: crazy different. Also specified from the Orals to Corney Islands. Yeah,

1121
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: is a little different, a little different than most of Brooklyn.

1122
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: Last picture guy that I want to mention as a

1123
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: guy who's not on the radar of anybody. It seems

1124
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: like right now, Jeffrey Cologne. I want you, James, when

1125
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: you get a chance to take a look at him.

1126
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1127
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: Been in the Mets organization since twenty eighteen, turns twenty

1128
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: three next week. He spent this year with Saint Luci

1129
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. Nineteen appearances, seven starts, seventy two and two

1130
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: thirds innings. Really really good year. Quietly so, I asked

1131
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: Jacob Resnick, shout to Jacob Bresney. Yeah, no, I DMed him.

1132
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: If you guys don't follow him, make sure you do

1133
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Jacob underscore. Resnick asked him about Keshawn.

1134
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: Ask you and Jeffrey Cologne, because I can't find anything

1135
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: on cologne. He said, coloone s it's about mid nineties.

1136
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: He's not sure what his off speed is. It looks

1137
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: very slurvy, because sometimes it looks like a curve, sometimes

1138
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: it looks like a slider. That's what I say about

1139
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: his pitches. But the numbers are there, two four eight

1140
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: r under one whip on the year. Well, maybe that's

1141
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: what the Mets are trying to teach now. That little

1142
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: sweeper thing. Yeah, and I will say this too, I

1143
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: wasn't sure whether or not he was a starter or reliever.

1144
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: That was also still up for debate because of how

1145
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: many appearances he made. He started a big game for

1146
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: the Cyclones late in the year through seven innings put

1147
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: them into the playoffs. That game that they won, he

1148
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: pitched seven things. I think he struck out eight and

1149
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: gave up like a hit and a walk. They made

1150
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: it to the playoffs because of that. Dude has some

1151
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: life on it fastball. I think Jeffrey Coloon's a guy.

1152
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep an eye out.

1153
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 4: For life on the fastball. It's the whole thing, is

1154
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 4: what it's all about. There's one picture I want to

1155
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 4: talk about that we talked about a lot last year. Yeah,

1156
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 4: who was a rising star on your organization. Joel dz

1157
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 4: who he ran in some trouble this year getting bumped

1158
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 4: up to Saint Lucy. I think he was still only

1159
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 4: eighteen years old, so he's wildly used to Yeah, yeah,

1160
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 4: child and also even only it's not even a big

1161
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: guy things like six ones.

1162
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so he he is.

1163
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 4: He has a curveball that's like almost plus like major

1164
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 4: league style right now, like it just it not. He

1165
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 4: used that picture completely annihilate the DSL. Some of the

1166
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 4: best stats we've ever seen him met have down there,

1167
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 4: and it was still very effective in Saint Lucy. But

1168
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 4: his fastball is lagging him behind. Somehow he got more

1169
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 4: ticks on it velocity wise, okay, and he still wasn't

1170
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 4: able to miss bass with it though. I think it's

1171
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 4: just like one of those like just Plano fastballs.

1172
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1173
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 4: Probably, So it seems like there's gonna be a you

1174
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 4: know what, every single person in the Mess organization, they

1175
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 4: seem to love him. You guy's development loves loves Joel ds.

1176
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 4: He's very poised, he's very focused, very motivated. He's still

1177
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 4: incredibly young for as far and how good he's been

1178
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 4: so far. But he's gonna be now one of these

1179
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 4: great development hurdles. That's probab probably one of the joys

1180
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 4: of this whole industry to get this guy to get

1181
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 4: past his one hump and get to the next level.

1182
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 4: And people didn't think he developed more velocity, and he

1183
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 4: already did in the last two years without growing, So

1184
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 4: maybe there's even a couple more ticks in there. Maybe

1185
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 4: in the ninety three, ninety four becomes ninety five to

1186
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: ninety six.

1187
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 3: Next year's working.

1188
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 4: It was just ninety one ninety two, and we have

1189
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 4: so many ways to improve Velossie at this point. But

1190
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 4: he's a guy who I think need an update because

1191
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: he did struggle this year. Didn't really get many strikeouts,

1192
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 4: gave up a lot of the hard hit balls, and

1193
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 4: walked plenty of guys at sam Luci for sure.

1194
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: For sure. And then to wrap up this minor league

1195
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: thing here real quick for you guys, just to mention

1196
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: some of the guys in the Arizona Fall League, we

1197
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: have Stanley Conswegra.

1198
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 3: I believe I'm pronouncing that right.

1199
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: I think you want to just say Consuela, Okay, yeah,

1200
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: take the gut sound like that. He's an interesting player.

1201
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: Twenty one years old. He really hasn't been able to

1202
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: play a lot because of injuries in the past. He's

1203
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 1: finally been healthy somewhat this year out in the Arizona

1204
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: Fall League. Big Pop apparently has the best arm in

1205
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: the entire outfield system for the Mets, according to Baseball America.

1206
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 3: Just keep an eye on him.

1207
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: He has athleticism in all the physical tools to do things.

1208
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: Now he just has to be able to put it

1209
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: out on the field, which is tough when you've been hurt.

1210
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: For the last three years. Christian Scott from the University

1211
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: of Florida seems like he's going to be a relief pitcher,

1212
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: probably for the Mets. Yeah, big boy, good stuff since

1213
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: mid nineties. He's currently starting in the Fall League, which

1214
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: is probably just more so to stretch him out because

1215
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: he didn't get a lot of innings, but keeping out

1216
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 1: for him. And then the last few guys, Kevin Kendall,

1217
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: Troy Miller, Brandon mcelwayne, who's used to be actually a

1218
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: quarterback at the University of South Carolina.

1219
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: While I was there, he.

1220
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: Started, He was a starting quarterback. He's played as a freshman.

1221
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: Is it Jim's kid? No, no, no, As a freshman

1222
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: he started games for the University of South Carolina. Let's

1223
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: just say this, he's a much better baseball player than

1224
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: he was a quarterback. It's South Carolina. Macawayn DeepC fisherman. Yeah,

1225
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: the legendary, legendary fisherman could have been a first round

1226
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: pick coming out of high school.

1227
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 3: Brandon Macaway.

1228
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: Fun fact, I like that by the dip, Yeah, by

1229
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: the dip Luke Ritter and Franklin Sanchez. Not a lot

1230
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: on these other guys though. The Fall League is kind

1231
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: of not really been a big priority. It seems like

1232
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: for the Mets right now, there haven't been a lot

1233
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: of guys getting a lot of action because there's so

1234
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: many guys you have to swap in and out. Jordan Wall. No,

1235
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: there's no Jordan Walker, so uh, superstar take that for

1236
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: what it is, and I think that will be the

1237
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: end of our minor league wrap up here. They also

1238
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,439

1381
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,480

Speaker 2: time you go the best. The Mets won one game

1459

1465
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: I really felt good about Rick Reid. I mean, you

00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: were before. You should remember it, I know I should.

1467
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: But if it's gonna be a reliever, who else was

1468
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: a reliever? If it was Armando Benait doesn't want to

1469
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: be sick. You got to save Okay, I don't got it,

1470
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: Johnny Franco, I guess your uncle.

1471
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,759

1475
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying, don't rush an answer out. Okay, Uh,

1476
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 3: logically want to go rowa nah? Okay? Three? So the key, Yeah,

1477
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 3: the key is it's got to be a seventy three,

1478
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 3: sixty ninety.

1479
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 4: I don't remember who else on those teams. I believe

1480
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 4: Cleon was off the team before seventy three. I remember correctly.

1481

1485
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: I know that was four or five point I think.

1486
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 3: Don't worry about you have three questions left, Okay, take

1487
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 3: him behind the barn. Two players are tied for the

1488
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 3: most home runs in Met World series history. Who are they?

1489

00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm trying to think about eighty six. Someone

1492
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 1: would have had to have a big series though, rate

1493
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: nine eighty six. Nope, okay, six seventy three, give me

1494
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: a can be Cleon Jones.

1495
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 3: No, the other guy who you almost you should have guessed. No,

1496
