So 7 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: the Mets have beat the Diamonbacks eighteen of the last 8 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 2: twenty two times they've played. Today, we'll make it nineteen 9 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: out of twenty three. Complete domination for a team that 10 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: is competing for a wildcard spot. We talked about this 11 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: like these games still matter for the team, These games 12 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: are still important.

Not wet, not wet, 23 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: not wet. 24 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: The wet episode's going to be like one of the 25 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: last series of the year, either Marlins or Phillies. We've 26 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: decided yes, and we got to get you the full 27 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 2: jersey as well. I want to do both the same time. 28 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: I think that Marlin series we're gonna pinpoint that. 29 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: I think it's either. 30 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 2: I think it's a Thursday night to just do both. Yeah, 31 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 2: just go home wet, just be wet in a hat 32 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 2: and jersey. Yeah, we have no John here today either, 33 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: So that's that's part of the reason why John's gotta 34 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: be able to see it. 35 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: Of course, I think he just wants to be the 36 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: one that dumps the water on me. Definitely a little. 37 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: I mean it's Indiana only lost play twenty points. That's 38 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: a way. 39 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: That's a huge one for Indiana football. But this series 40 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 2: like overall pretty good one, really good one. 41 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: Again. 42 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: It's funny that this team, the Diamondbacks, has been one 43 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: of like the field good stories in baseball all year 44 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: and the Mets have just completely destroyed them with every 45 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: chance they could six and one against them now in 46 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: the season series, three games in Arizona, we swept back 47 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: in July four games here we swept Also kind of funny. 48 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: I'm I'll just all housekeeping stuff. 49 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: We're not doing the episode in City Field Sunday because 50 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: I'm going to a wedding, the same wedding of the 51 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: bachelor party they went to in July that was also 52 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: in the Mets were playing the Diamondbacks. 53 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: That is weird. 54 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: That's really bizarre. Those are both happening the exact same time. Okay, yeah, 55 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: little coincidence, Yeah right, big coincidence. Degrees of coincidences. I 56 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: guess the small quinsy isn't big coincidences now. But it 57 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: was really good series, and it's just it's funny that 58 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: the Mets, as what's ever happened this year? You come 59 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: up against two pitchers who were some of the best 60 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: pitchers in baseball on Wednesday and Thursday and Zach Allen 61 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: and Merrill Kelly and just completely obliterate them. No, it's 62 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: it's run through them like nothing like paper doesn't make 63 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: any sense. It doesn't make any sense. The more you 64 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: think about it, the less sense it makes. You know what, 65 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: We'll just take it. There was like a lot of 66 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: good things that happened in this one and started off 67 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: with Game one. 68 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: This one was like. 69 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: Probably the weirdest of the bunch, to be fair, this 70 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: was a little weird because they got at i'd say 71 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: a little bit overshadowed by something else happening in New 72 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: York on Monday night, Monday Night football with the Jets. 73 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: It just it was a weird thing. You one, you 74 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: want to just talk about that for a second. You 75 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: need to get it out too early in the episode. 76 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: But two minutes of football. Put the timerround right now, 77 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: stop watch, ready to go. I'm just a lot of 78 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 2: Mets and Jets fans out there. I'm sure you guys 79 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: all had pretty crazy run of emotions Monday nights. Aaron 80 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: Rodgers brought the American flag out of the tin al 81 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 2: at East Rutherford on nine to eleven and took four 82 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: snaps and ruptured the entire Achilles crazy. 83 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: It was bizarre. 84 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: And then the Jets miraculously coming back and winning the game. 85 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: Vide though Jets fan two, you know, he knows we're 86 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: going through here. John also Jets fan out here today. 87 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: But it's just it's just it's a surreal thing that 88 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 2: you just you just can't have nice things. Yeah, really 89 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: hurt my fantasy team. I was really banking on Rogers 90 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: having a great year. 91 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: No one cares about your fancy team. 92 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: And you heard the New York Jets have gone through 93 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: fifty years of anguished command and reason for one second, 94 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: we have a chance for about four minutes when it 95 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: was happening. It was like nine minutes total, from him 96 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: with the American flag to him in the blue medical ten, 97 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: it was just it's shocking. And then you have Zach Wilson, who, 98 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: by all intentsive purposes we're going to get every single 99 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: chance to like win football games for this team, just 100 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: looks so afraid and like there were some videos that 101 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: went viral because he did come back and win the 102 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: Jetsam did they really emotional victory? It was really it 103 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: was really cool to see that the fans were still 104 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: good the whole game. Everyone was like just really excited. 105 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: But there was a clip that went viral with Zach 106 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: Wilson the other Jets receivers and they were like like 107 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: patting his shoulder blade, tell him how great he was. 108 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: Like he was like a like a like a kid 109 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: or something, the little pep talk. Yeah, but it's just 110 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: we can't have nice things as Jets fans. It was 111 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: I was so sad the whole day Tuesday. It really 112 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: just hurt my week. It was hard to sleep on 113 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: Monday night after watching that whole thing happen. 114 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and like. 115 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: Waiting for that MRI and it's just only a minute, 116 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 2: twenty seconds. So it's just you can't have nice things. 117 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: Jets are cursed, will never be great. Being my dad 118 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 2: not Jets fans, but we were watching the game on 119 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: Monday night. My dad looks at me. He's here in 120 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: house for the episode watching Luino, and he was like, 121 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: I'm sick to my stomach. Yeah, he's it's not right. Yeah, 122 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: And especially the fact that like Vinnie Testaverdi was like 123 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: the honorary captain. He did the same thing in nineteen 124 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: ninety nine after he took the Jets the AFC title 125 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: game the day before, and that there was Edwin D's 126 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: connection to it too. Oh. The day that Aaron Rodgers 127 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 2: officially signed with the Jets was the same day the 128 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: w World Baseball Classic where edwind Dis went down. 129 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, tough, tough. It's just if you're a Mets and 130 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: Jets fan, like you know the pain it never goes away. 131 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: This is life. 132 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: I tried to get away for a bit, but being 133 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: Washington fan doesn't really help either. 134 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: It's just so bad. It doesn't. 135 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, seeing ghosts, ghosts of Jets pass even like the 136 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: far Thing too, is like so funny in contact because 137 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: he only played the one year and his year got 138 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: struck by an injury too, and it just missed the playoffs. 139 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: They started out like eight and three or something. 140 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: You told me, you said that I still don't believe 141 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: it's real. Yeah, I told you the whole time. I 142 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: never I let myself get excited that just when the 143 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: game began he came out of the tunnel and it 144 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: was with her Broddy Drew and he's like an honorary 145 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: Jet since he moved to New York, and then just happened. 146 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: I was like, that's what. 147 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: This is why I think get excited. This is why 148 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: I never believed it. This is why I would never 149 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: really bother in two minutes of football. Now we're back 150 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: to baseball. Let's talk about this one. Hose a Kingtana 151 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: on the mound for the Mets. Pretty decent, definitely not 152 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: one of his better starts. Had got in trouble a 153 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: little bit, a little bit of traffic on the base pass, 154 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: but being able to minimize that damage. Think something we're 155 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: gonna just be used to with Hosei Kingtana. Yeah, just 156 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: even even the start, we definitely gonna have his best stuff. 157 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: So I got through five innings still only gave up 158 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 2: two runs. There were a lot of base runners, but 159 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 2: no one really hurt him that bad, and just the 160 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: only diamonback that really was able to get to him 161 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: and get to Mets pitching in general. This game was 162 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 2: the inevitable Tommy fam Of course, he had an incredible series. 163 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: He has returned to City Field. He was taking pictures 164 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 2: of Alex Combe before the game. Everyone seemed happy to 165 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 2: see him, and he just he just played unbelievable baseball 166 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 2: game once again. He was three for five on Monday 167 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: night to start what was a really good series. He 168 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: really pushed the Diamondbacks over the edge and the only 169 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 2: game that would eventually win this series a double, a 170 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: home run late to tie the game, and three balls 171 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: and play a hit over one hundred three miles an hour. 172 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: He's a goodball player, really good. We got that. 173 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: We got to see him for half a year and 174 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: we knew how good Tommy fan was. I had to 175 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: see him helping Arizona. It's good. 176 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: But he's the only guy pulling that and you waiting 177 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: that team anymore. 178 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean today we had a little bit of 179 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: a flashback where it was like, man, it's like three 180 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: innings and tom FAM's the only guy with a hit. 181 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 2: It was zero zero in the third inning on Thursday 182 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: and it was only one hit and it was Tommy 183 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: Fams single in the first. 184 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, that's what I remember. That feels like. Yeah. 185 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Ryan Marisio smoked the double as well, which was nice. 186 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: Just continues to hit the baseball hard, just good baseball player. 187 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: Jeff McNeill's first of two home runs this series. Swinging 188 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: the battle lot better Jeff. 189 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: That ops. 190 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if it has officially gotten above seven 191 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: hundred again, but it was like hovering. 192 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: Around six ninety five, six ninety eight. 193 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: Area hit the home run today, which should help six 194 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: ninety nine, six ninety nine, Jeff. We gotta get through 195 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: that seven hundred and two sixty six batting average. Get 196 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: that the two seventy five, seven hundred. The year is 197 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: gonna turn off five for Jeff. But again, this game 198 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: Monday was a little bit like Dystopian, but based on 199 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: what was happening with the Jets, I. 200 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: Got on the other channel one hundred percent. Yeah, end 201 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: of his arre. 202 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: Of course, we had to watch my least favorite, one 203 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: of my least favite players in baseball right now, Paul C. 204 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: Wall get that saved, which sucks. I was really hoping 205 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: he was gonna blow. He got, he got it, got 206 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: a little Harry got a little hair, but he got. 207 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: Out of it all. 208 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: Seawold is an expert of the Harry save two two 209 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: men on a two run game or something like tying 210 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: Rome will get the first base and then then then'll 211 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: find I still watch him and it doesn't make any sense. 212 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: He's there's really nothing different than when he was here, 213 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: and he's just better. 214 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: Sight is different. The fastball was a little harder, which 215 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: we could close the book on Pola. Yeah, he's got 216 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: to get back in again. 217 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: But Tuesday night game too. Mark was in the park. 218 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 2: This one really really fun night at city Field. Mark 219 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: was in the park for Bark in the Park. Mark 220 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: in the Park for Bark in the Park. Bark in 221 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: the Park was pretty amazing. The SIMBA cam was awesome. 222 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: Shout out you guys for thinking of that. That was incredible. 223 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone here actually, no John, No, you know, all. 224 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: Right, guys, we shout the Mets. People that shout out 225 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: the Mets aren't here. 226 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really good, Like the it was like 227 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: hysterical to be in the stadium. And I don't I 228 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: don't know if they instructed the people who brought a dog, 229 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: but when they put on the Lion King song, everybody 230 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: just lifted their dog up like Simba. I don't know 231 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: if there was a memo that went out, but great planning, 232 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: great execution. 233 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: Viral clips. Also Hockey Night in the ball Park, Yes, yes, 234 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: big one for John. Yeah. 235 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting that when running Ratio his 236 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: home run that we'll talk about in a little bit, 237 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: they played the Ranger full song rather than the Islander 238 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 2: goal song. And I kind of feel like that was 239 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: probably a lot of John's fingerprints. 240 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: Gotta be John. 241 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I feel like there's no way John would 242 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: allow the Mets contingency. I feel like Lean's, especially like 243 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: you guys working a lot like I feel like it 244 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 2: Lean's Islanders, yeah, more more than anything else. And I 245 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: think a lot of people work, like do a little 246 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: bit of work as well. Yeah, that's what I mean. 247 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: And also the colors blue an orange. Yeah sought. I 248 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: thought that was kind of funny though, but cool hockey night, 249 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: bark in the park, just keep everything fun there. And 250 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: most of my part of this game, I think was Jose, 251 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: but I mean lights out, lights out. We were talking 252 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: in our group chat and I was looking like through 253 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: the box scorners and Jose Budo is sixteen swings and 254 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: misses through four innings. 255 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, like what what? Like where did this come from? 256 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: Wound up with seventeen five innings with seven strikeouts, only 257 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: one earn run, and this guest start was just fastballs 258 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: and change ups. The thing that got Jose Buddou to 259 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: the major leagues originally that was the main scathering report 260 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: with him always and like again, like his velosity kind 261 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 2: of tapered downs the game went on, but he's still 262 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 2: sat around ninety five. And the last fastball he threw 263 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 2: of the game with the second hardest he threw the 264 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: entire game, and it was about two miles an hour 265 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 2: harder than the previous fastball through so really was able 266 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: to dig deep and get that last pitch out, and 267 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 2: like the Dinmbacks just really didn't. It seemed like the 268 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 2: couldn't figure out which pitch was coming, because the fastball 269 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 2: is really good at getting the called strikes and the 270 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: change up was really good at getting swing stripes. Specifically, 271 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: that change up thirteen swing strikes. That is the fourth 272 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: most swings and misses on it for a change up 273 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: by any pitcher in a single game this season. 274 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, do you know who the others were? 275 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: It was a lot of guys tied between like thirteen 276 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: and seventeen, and it was like Cole, it was Jordan Montgomery, 277 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 2: it not there Caled Logan Web maybe cool, a lot 278 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: a lot of the guys who have like very good 279 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: change ups, But Jose Budo was in there. 280 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: Command was really good. 281 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: There was really good graphic I put on Twitter on 282 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: Wednesday where all of Jose Buddo's fastballs were in the 283 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 2: upper thirds stripe zone and all the changes were from 284 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: the lower third, a lot of them called black on 285 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: both sides, and that back had no answer. These are 286 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: the things while you watch these late games in September, 287 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: start to see a guy who could very much be 288 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: a part of this rotation. Next the way he's pitching 289 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: for sure, Like you talk a scale of confidence of 290 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: the guys that are maybe fighting for these last few spots, 291 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 2: Jose Buddo's right around the top. Yeah, we're getting the 292 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: spot where it's hard to doubt them anymore either because 293 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: he comes out every single day and while it is 294 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: still probably someone who's best pitching between three and five innings, 295 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: not able to extend past to get the six or 296 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: seven Yeah, yeah, mostly because that third pitch is still trying. 297 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: We've seen the cover, we've seen the slide. 298 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: They're coming along, but sometimes he seems like he doesn't 299 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: really have a feel for them, and the velocity is 300 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: such a big deal for budo and they kind of 301 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: usually again falls off after sixty to eighty pitches. He 302 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: there just there has to be a role. There has 303 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: to be a role for a guy like this. He's 304 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 2: pitching super well. The development, we tell you guys all 305 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: the time, development is not linear for these pitchers. There 306 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: was probably a time where most Mets fans between the 307 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: last six months and the last eighteen months, like, I 308 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: never want to see his guy. I never want see 309 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: Belue in a Mets uniform again pitching. But mister Luino 310 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: probably says something like that to a time or as possible. Right, Yeah, 311 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: it got thumbs up, and now you look at the 312 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: guy pitching and like, oh wow, there is really something here. 313 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 2: It just really really goes to show that, like there's 314 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: no quitting these guys. You just gotta keep going, keep grinding, 315 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: keep getting better, and eventually you'll get an opportunity. And 316 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: when you get it, you gotta take it. 317 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. 318 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: And you talk about guys who just seem to be 319 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: getting better and better as the season goes on. Brandon Nemo, Yes, 320 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: had quite the series. Yeah, quite the I mean extra 321 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: base hits left and right. He had three extra base 322 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 2: hits on Tuesday night, three hard hit balls, two doubles 323 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: in a triple, scored a couple of runs, got a walk. 324 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 2: Been playing great defense out in center field today, especially 325 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: on the last game of the series. It's a bunch 326 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: of balls that were like kind of hitting the gap 327 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: that he made look very routine, easy plays. Just one 328 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: of the most underrated players in baseball. In every episode, 329 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: I feel like, but he just continues to show why 330 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: he got that contract, why he's lead off, why he 331 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: center fiel, why he is a huge part of this 332 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: team's future. Yeah, Fangres being weird from me right now, 333 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: I want to click. I want to see his stats 334 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 2: since he took those few days off with the with 335 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: the tired legs in August, but since then, so since 336 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: August first, technically a two ninety three three sixty nine 337 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 2: five thirty six triple slash, one forty nine WRC plus, 338 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: so fifty percent better than the league average hitre with 339 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 2: eight home runs and ten percent walks, nineteen percent strikekofs. 340 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: That's the league Baseball player, GOOTBA player. That's a player 341 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 2: who's a premial los star. Those stats extra played for 342 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: a whole year, and that's kind of what Brandimo feels 343 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: like he's basically becoming as the season goes on. Yep, 344 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: Francisco Indoorto and Pete Alonso a couple of RBIs that's 345 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: just smacking around the Diamondbacks says it feels good. Yeah, 346 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: and three more hits for DJ Stewart and the big 347 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 2: exclamation point in this game. Two before was Ronny Mauricio's 348 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: first career home run, and it was a mammoth shot 349 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: deep into the Coca Cola corner four hundred and forty feet, 350 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: hundred and twelve miles an hour off the bat, twenty 351 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: seven degree launch angle with a nasty bat flip, and 352 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 2: really really watched that one. 353 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: Enjoy it for a second. 354 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: Eighth longest home run by a Met this year, also 355 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 2: the eighth hardest hit home run by a Met this year, 356 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 2: and hardest hit home run by a Met that's not 357 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 2: named Pete Alonzo. I mean that makes sense, Yeah, next 358 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: lost sense. He hits the ball really hard. He's gonna 359 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: make Coca Cola Corner his home. Yeah, for the for 360 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: the foreseeable future. The Mauricio Mezzanine, ma Risios Mezzanine. 361 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: I think we'll work on that. We can work shop now. 362 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: That was off the The marketing people can handle that. 363 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: And as of right now, ten games through his major 364 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: league career, roun Ritio has put twenty eight balls in play. 365 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: Fourteen of those were hit hard, eleven of those were 366 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: hit over one hundred miles an hour, and four of 367 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: those are hit over one hundred and ten miles an hour. 368 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: Having I was sitting down the first base line and 369 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: off the battle. Oh my god, like that ball made 370 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: a different noise, It carried differently. 371 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: It went so far. 372 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: It was cool too because we could see who caught 373 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: the ball, because of course it was Ryan Mauricio's first 374 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: home run. 375 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: Caught the ball. 376 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: Security swarmed him, swarmed him, took him right out there, 377 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: like here, you'll get yourself assigned back, get your signed drews, 378 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: you get to meet him. Did we see If they 379 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: was any publication of what happened, not the same hoopla, 380 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: I would say, as like, you know, the Elie de 381 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: la Cruze, like first career home run that happened earlier 382 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: this season, where like the dude and his friends like 383 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 2: held out for innings and eventually just got like a 384 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 2: nineteen person bro pick with Elie de la Cruz. Mets 385 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 2: fans are salt of the earth. Yeah, we're just happy 386 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: to be there. I want I want to give him 387 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: the ball back. Want this young man to enjoy his evening. 388 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 2: But it's really amazing was doing so far. He looks 389 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 2: fluid in the field, looks really good at second. He 390 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 2: looks very confident when he's taking his hacks. He's not 391 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 2: really even chasing as much as I kind of thought 392 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: he would be, as much as like, well, his minor 393 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: league SATs with indicator would be and we even heard 394 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 2: We'll talk about a little bit Joe Lukez just talk 395 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: about the fact that in Triple A the automatic balls 396 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 2: and strikes is a bit of a weird thing. Yeah, 397 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: especially going from that to the major leagues, Like so 398 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: wrapping out that rapidly just so consistently, like it is 399 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: very different. So maybe it's just like having regular umpire 400 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: umpire again doing that. He's also like he's still chasing up. 401 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: He's really not swing and missing much at all. And 402 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: with that, he's not striking out very much. Like this 403 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: isn't a massive sample size, but ten games for things 404 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: especially like Chase Ray and Wiffright, which are part pitch, 405 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: like that's kind of settled thing already. Once you get 406 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: to twenty twenty five games strike I Ray this too. Yeah, 407 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: and if he can have a year next year where 408 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 2: he has a fifty percent hard hit rate and twenty 409 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 2: percent strike out rate, like they're kind of is no 410 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: stopping him. It feels like it's become evident that the 411 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: lack of walks is not because of a misunderstanding of 412 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: the strike zone. I think it's just he's incredibly aggressive 413 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: and just wants to hit. It's also not really like 414 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: a supreme lack of walks. It's five percent walks. Yeah, 415 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: but I'm saying like the idea that, like, because the 416 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: whole conversation with Ryan Marisio was about his plate discipline, Yeah, 417 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: about walking getting on base. They want to see him 418 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: do that more or whatever whoever saying that, and it 419 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: doesn't seem like it's something that he's trying to not do. 420 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: Like you watch some guys who don't refuse to walk, 421 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: like Luis Garcia or something like or Robby Bayaz and 422 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, I understand why these guys don't walk. 423 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 2: Ron Maursio, You're like, oh, he's he's just really aggressive. 424 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 2: He gets a pitch and he crushes in the zone. Yeah, 425 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: Like he's walking more consistently than like, let's say a 426 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 2: comparable player like an Mickey Moniac, Yeah, who came up 427 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: with massive physical tools, significantly older than Ryn and Marisio. 428 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: But even in three hundred played appearance, he's walking two 429 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: percent at the time thirty five percent strike out rate. 430 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: Ryan Riso is a five percent of twenty percent, like 431 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: Salvador Perez, possibly a Hall of Famers walking three percent 432 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: of the time. Everyone's favorite for him met James mccannon 433 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: three percent of the time. Like, there's a lot of 434 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: guys in baseball who don't have the same physical tools. 435 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: Ryan Riso, don't have the same hit tool, don't have 436 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: the same natural power. Bob Bishett four percent walk rate. 437 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: Wow's that long? 438 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, even a guy like Zeko Tavar one of your 439 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: favorite Mael prospects. I know he doesn't walk also, four 440 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: percent walk grate and the twenty three percent strike I 441 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: ray with significantly less physical tools. 442 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: One home runs on the season for Ezekiel Tobar. No, 443 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: he was not such a way. 444 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: Was this mind you have you have a different No, No, 445 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: this is from this cam't be that's wrong. That's something 446 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: that's wrong regardless. Ron Marisio, absolute stud. Moving on to 447 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: Game three. Yeah, Zach Allen on the bump going up 448 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 2: against Joey Fuego fifteen home runs. I was looking at 449 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: Johann Rojas one one thing below a little different, but yeah, 450 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: Joey Fuego on the mound for Zach Allen. Little did 451 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: you guys know is gonna be an aceoft because Joey 452 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: Lukazy he makes he starts for the Mets this year 453 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: and he's unhittable. Yeah, no, no one can touch Joey 454 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: Lukes and chatty Joey lukeazy too, because he's had great 455 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: results to the majors. He's been shovel back and forth 456 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: with being majors of the miners a lot. Every single 457 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: time he's come back and gotten to this opportunity, he's 458 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: taken advantage of it. Seven innings pitch for Lukes, he 459 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: only gave up one run and it wasn't earned. Down 460 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: to a two eighty three ERA on the season, thirty 461 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: five inchs pitch and that is a higher IRA in 462 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: his era and triple A which spawned the comments about 463 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: him and the Automax strike zone. He's made seven starts 464 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: this year, two of them have gone seven innings. Like 465 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: what what I like? I'mna be honest, I didn't expect 466 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: this at Joey Lukesey when the season was starting and 467 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 2: it's We talked to him and one of the big 468 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: things that he mentioned was like making this conscious effort 469 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 2: to be able to go deeper into games by using 470 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: the cutter to get softer contact to get ground balls, 471 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: and we saw that in this game he got a 472 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: ton of ground balls, a bunch of double plays to 473 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor. Yeah, not many swings and misses, with three white, 474 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 2: three walk and just two strikeouts. But the Diamacks couldn't 475 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: score anything up, not all. And that was kind of 476 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 2: the kind of the theme of the series. The mess 477 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: pitchers just kept them really off balance and the turf 478 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: trave it up and the other side the Mets basically 479 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: not Zach Gallon out of this young conversation, someone who 480 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: some people thought was a favorite up until that week. 481 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: And a half ago. 482 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 2: Crazy like, I don't know if this is true, but 483 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: I feel like Zach Gallen has always struggled against the Mets. 484 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: I feel I feeling in my phone somewhere you're on 485 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: Baseball Reference going yeah, too long now. 486 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: But and it was just it wasn't even like the 487 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: Mets had wants to stay in rally knock him out. 488 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: They just were chipping away every single time they got run. 489 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: The first inning with Lindor and Pete, then Raphael or 490 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 2: take hit aw out two hour be a double out 491 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: of note six, Raphael Ortaga to get Jeff McNeil home 492 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 2: from first base, and a play where he literally flew 493 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 2: into home plate. 494 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe he was safe. 495 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 2: It took everything, It took everything going wrong for him 496 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: to be safe. There can tell Marte made one of 497 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 2: the worst throws I've ever seen on a baseball field, 498 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: and he was still almost out. 499 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: But he was safe. So we let me a little bit. 500 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 2: This all happened just because I'm starting Zach Gallon a 501 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: really really hotly contested fancy baseball championship, and I knew 502 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 2: the Mets had to get me back for that one. 503 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: We've had some big pictures go and I really crumble 504 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 2: really bad. 505 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: Wheeler and Gallon are killing me this week. 506 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: Danny listens to the show sometimes, even though his Yankee 507 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: fan always lessens. He wants you here my misery because 508 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 2: he's beating me and we're so bad. But and then 509 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: pi Alonso got two more RBIs later got to one 510 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: hundred eight on the season. I think he also had 511 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 2: one or two more yeah on Thursday as well, second 512 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 2: most Majors behind Matt Olson. And he missed almost a 513 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: month of baseball yeah, which is pretty amazing to think about. 514 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 2: Just he's doing things from a rum production standpoint that 515 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: basically no Met has ever. 516 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: Done, no basis. 517 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 2: He's doing it all and it's like, we know he's 518 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: a better hitter too, Like we're not an average podcast, 519 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 2: we know that, but like this is a career low 520 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 2: average for Pete this year, and he's got one hundred 521 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 2: and ten RBIs. Yes, Like, imagine if he were hitting 522 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: two fifty, which is something that he's like very capable of. 523 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: Do I think last year it was like closer, closer 524 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: to two seven. 525 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, if he was hitting that, he might have one 526 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five hundred thirty RBIs. There was a 527 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 2: fan in the stands today who looked around at us 528 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 2: very earnestly and was like, you guys think he's gonna 529 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 2: get six hundred home runs? 530 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know. It feels like 531 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: a lot, Like I need to calculator to try and 532 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: figure that one out. You're making me extrapolate numbers across 533 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: probly twelve years. I will work on my aging curve. 534 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. 535 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: I'm worried about Pete Alonzo finishing the season strung. Yeah, 536 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: about six hundred home runs, But like he's in that 537 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: category of just like we say it all the time, elite, 538 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: elite power hitting first baseman in baseball history right now 539 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 2: to start a career. 540 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: Yes, there's no literally, no doubt about it. 541 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 2: The only guys are even near on his level Ryan Howard, 542 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: and we looked at the upper pool holes pool holes. 543 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: Yeah maybe, uh I think like any Matthew hit a 544 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: bunch of Mathews too early in his career. 545 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: Also, these are guys who kind of came up a 546 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: little later as well, Aberpools of course, because his age 547 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 2: probably wasn't twenty one years old. He started out the 548 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 2: major leagues. But he's just it's just he just hits 549 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: the ball hard every single time and does a lot 550 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: of damage. Another guy hits the ball hard a lot 551 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 2: and does a lot of damage. Mark Vientos, Yes, hit 552 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 2: the big home run to just put that nice cherry 553 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 2: on top of Gallon's line. Six earned runs and I 554 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: love last three home runs down. Mark Fiantos has hit 555 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: have been off a role as Chapman, Luis Castillo and 556 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 2: Zach Allen, Like whatever figure end he got that that 557 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: smoked the double off Felix Bautista, he did, like, wen't 558 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 2: forget that one. Like Mark Viento's Yes, keep it up, 559 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: And I think everybody's these guys, yeah right, And this 560 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: is a really solid game for Brett Baby, multiple hits, 561 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 2: couple hard hit balls, then he leaves with the growing 562 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 2: mile day of the day. The MRI came back pretty clean, 563 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: so hopefully we do see Brett back this weekend. But 564 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 2: very frustrating. They finally got through a few times and 565 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 2: immediately had. 566 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: To leave the game against Sach Collins. 567 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I'm sor right, and he was. He 568 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: was repping his by the Gara Wilson from football of course. Yeah, 569 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: who just made one of the best catches I've ever seen. 570 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: That catch was discussed, so smacked it up to himself 571 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: on the same play he played offense and defense. Yeah, yeah, literally, 572 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: he deflected the pass and caught the touchdowns. He's very 573 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: talented athlete. 574 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: So good. Him and Bruce holl are so good. So good. 575 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 2: Oh all right, normal football talk Game four, Game four 576 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 2: in the building for this one, Code I Sanga, Code Ace. 577 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we got to have a real conversation. Let's 578 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: just a breakdown first. 579 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, but Corbyn Carroll rookie of your favorite Code ice 580 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 2: AGA Rookie of the Year contender for sure, though those 581 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 2: are the top two guys I think right now in 582 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 2: the National League. Right I don't even think anyone else 583 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 2: is close, and a year has been I think rookies 584 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 2: have been kind of pretty good, routinely, not routinely like 585 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: inordinately strong for a particular season. And if Corbyn Carroll 586 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 2: wasn't doing things that basically no other rookies have ever 587 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: done the history of the game, and that's having a 588 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: twenty five to forty five season. The only other player 589 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: in the history of baseball to ever do that was 590 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 2: been Mike Trout, and now twenty twelve. If you bring 591 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: those numbers down to just twenty and forty, you have 592 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: Mike Trout, Corbyn Carroll, Tommy Agy, met Legend Lamb. He 593 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: did that with the White Sox before he came to 594 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: the Mets in sixty six. And then Mitchell Page, who 595 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: I've never heard that. 596 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: I've never heard of the name. 597 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 2: Twenty one forty two his rookie year, he did not 598 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: win Rookie of the Year. What year nineteen seventy seven, 599 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 2: Mitchell Page? What team Oakland? 600 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: Never heard of this guy? 601 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: But again, this is the year where you look at 602 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,479 Speaker 2: Kodai Sanger right now and after his incredible start on Thursday, 603 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 2: he's down to a two point nine to five VRA 604 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: in a year where pitching has been a bit of 605 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: a struggle for a lot of guys in the league 606 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: with the rule change, and maybe that's been advantgd for 607 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: Koli not having to deal with the league before and 608 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: now being able to just walk into the league. 609 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: He's still pitched in Japan. Japanese games are really long. 610 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: No, of course, I'm just trying to make things up 611 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: right now, say some stuff. But two nine five yra 612 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: fourth lows in baseball behind Garakle, Blake Snell, and Justin Steele. 613 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 2: So most likely both of the cy Youngs and then 614 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: whoever in the NL doesn't win the Cy Young and 615 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 2: he's done by walking into the major leagues and just 616 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 2: automatically has had the best pitch in baseball. I think 617 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 2: I think it's without a doubt the best pitching baseball. 618 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 2: It is the best pitching in baseball. The ghost fork 619 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: still is the highest wiff rate for Indy individual pitching baseball. 620 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: It's been throwing at least five hundred times, and it 621 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: has the high the lowest soft contact, highest highest soft contact. 622 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: Right too, Yeah, I got confused. My highest and lowest 623 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 2: there my double negatives and stuff. But a pitch that 624 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: isn't hit hard, still has not even given up a 625 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 2: home runs entire year, and they can't swing it. 626 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: They can't hit it. 627 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 2: Well, what did I tell you today? When we were 628 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: sitting and watching him, He was cruising, cruising today. It 629 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: was like one of the most relaxing, calming, like just 630 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: low key, dominant sorts that we've seen in a while 631 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: at the stadium. Yeah, he just looks so confident on 632 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: the mound and I'm like, when are people going to. 633 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: Figure out the ghost fork? 634 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like they ever will, because even a 635 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: guy like Kodai Sanga who's been throwing that ghost fork 636 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: a lot this year, this game on Thursday, this was 637 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: the second time all season it's been his primary pitching 638 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 2: a game, and that both of those times have happened 639 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 2: in September. So in his last four starts, two of 640 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: those sorts. Yes, and just me making the league. The 641 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 2: color went up for a while. First it was a fastball, 642 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 2: now is it goes forward? And with that goes forward 643 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 2: being the most thrown pitch in a game, he was 644 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 2: throwing in the zone war the second highest rate of 645 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: in zone goes forks in a game so far this year. 646 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: On Thursday. 647 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 2: I remember he got that really really nice call strike 648 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: against gabrielle Moreno. 649 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: That was an unfair at bat. 650 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: To Gabriel Rato, another pretty solid rookie, but you like 651 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 2: them more than I think it's a good ball player. 652 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 2: But he put the Ryanto one the first at bat, 653 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: and the coda was like, you're gonna try to hit me, 654 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: all right, go fork, You're not gonna hit me anymore. 655 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 2: And one of my favorite terms when describing a pitcher, 656 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: it's like really cruising in command is they're in a 657 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 2: rocking chair. And it really just felt like Coda Sanga 658 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: was back and forth, just get the ball, throw the ball, 659 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: get the ball, throw the ball. He had seven strikeouts 660 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 2: by the time the third inning was got. By the 661 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: fourth inning was underway, I think the like Caesar's like 662 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 2: bet thing that they do in the stadium was like 663 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 2: over under three and a half strikeouts for Code I 664 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: Sanga and the guy was like over and I think 665 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 2: he got it out in like the second or third ending. 666 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: It was unhit thea ball. 667 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: And this Dingbacks team that has a lot to play 668 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: for right now, they had the infield in when the 669 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 2: Mets rallying in w was. 670 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: At the third inning. 671 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: Well that's something to talk about too, is that, like 672 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 2: these games, we know the Mets are not technically out 673 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 2: of contention, but it's gonna take a lot. 674 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks are very much fighting for it right now. 675 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 2: And if you look at the wild card standings, I 676 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: don't know if they've updated yet with the game today 677 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 2: they have quick, yes they have. They are technically out 678 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 2: of the playoffs right now. They are tied with the 679 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 2: Giants and the Reds theoretically for that last spot, but 680 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: the Giants, I think on tiebreakers and whatnot, are technically ahead, 681 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 2: so the Dimembacks would be missing the playoffs. These games 682 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: were incredibly important and we saw some super weird decisions 683 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 2: made by Tory Leavello in this series. One if you 684 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: guys were watching on TV on the first game of 685 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 2: the series, where they let Tim Lecastro steal after he 686 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 2: got after he pinched ran steal second. 687 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: He was the winning run. They just let him have it, 688 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: and Gary was like freaking out. He was like, I 689 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: can't believe. 690 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 2: You're letting the winning run get the second base, Like 691 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 2: he was going nuts. Keith as well, but even today 692 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 2: he pulled the starters early in this sixth inning. Like 693 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: I can understand Pullingkata Marte because he does have injury 694 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 2: issues and he was he was out. It was in 695 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 2: out the last couple of weeks. I think anything he 696 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: looks he looked slow this series. But he pulled Tommy 697 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 2: fam he pulled Christian Walker. Christian Walker to tell Marte 698 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: who else there was one more more guy, one of 699 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 2: the outfielders, because then he moved and even that you 700 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 2: take your took out Garriel, Yeah, and who's effectively been 701 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: your best player all year, Corbyn Carroll, and not take 702 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 2: him out. He just moved him to the other corner 703 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: in the middle of a game when you're in a 704 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 2: pennant race, Like I'm not saying that you should be 705 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: like you know, like we can win every single game, 706 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: but like we've seen teams make seven run comebacks and 707 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 2: for sames and like again where we're objective podcasters year, 708 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 2: I don't think the best ballpen is anything right home about. 709 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: It's not like a team that's in the playoff picture 710 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 2: can't make up runs against any like a bullpen in baseball. 711 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: But it was like the sixth inning. It was it 712 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: was the sixth inning. 713 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 2: So like chip Away, Chip away, chip away, and then 714 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 2: you see what happens. It was just wild to me 715 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 2: that they seemingly said, you got this one. We'll just 716 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: we'll catch you in Arizona. Shout out to Colin and 717 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 2: the PA who had to go through like over three 718 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: different battles to get every single substution that was made. 719 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: Because Diamback's took five players out of the game. 720 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: He was going like, now, it's like in base coming 721 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 2: into the game before can tell Marte is gonna be well. 722 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 2: George Lawler moved there, and Aldo Perdomo is at third 723 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: and in the game playing shorts up fras on Diamonbacks, 724 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 2: Ordan Laller moving from shortstop second base. Herd Peromo pros 725 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: pro yeah, and then he weigh another bat and he 726 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: was like moving from third base to first base for 727 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: Arizon Diamondbacks River taking place Christian Walker. It was like, wow, 728 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: it took three Backs to get it all done, but 729 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 2: he did it professional pro. It was really really weird 730 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 2: that the team, especially we just saw the Diamonbacks last 731 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: weekend in Wrigley Field. He saw them take three out 732 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: of four last week and we saw the Pirates we 733 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 2: just saw before we went there. 734 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: It was really weird. 735 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: But we saw this team take three out of four 736 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: games from Chicyle Cubs, the team they were chasing the 737 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: wildcard race. So they it's not like they came in 738 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 2: really limping. They've had they happened a good second half 739 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: in general. This was a team playing good ball, who 740 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: had their two best pitchers lined up for its series 741 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 2: with a team that has mostly fallen out of the 742 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: playoff picture, even though the team that handled them in 743 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: the first half, and we just kind of got them. 744 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: And really this game and Merril Kelly again, Merril Kelly 745 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 2: is not really a name that will incite fear into 746 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 2: his opponents, but he's one of low cras in baseball. 747 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 2: It is like two out of three years now he's 748 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 2: done this until this game. He still has like the 749 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: fifth Locra National League. Yeah, it's like three two and 750 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,479 Speaker 2: a half. So but then you see Brandon will get 751 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: multiple hits on him, but double down the line just 752 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 2: like scorted one down there just Glendora's on base score, 753 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 2: the run, the Lonzo hit the home run, the home run, 754 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: Jeffing Neil the home run. 755 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: Jathannweruz hit the home run late. 756 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 2: DJ Stewart got two more RBIs like Jonathan Anderu's two 757 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 2: more home runs Intom Anderson. 758 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: Yes, good fact, Jonathan two. 759 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: More home runs in Tim Anderson this year and one 760 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 2: Lagaris has hit the ball hard than nolanar noo ever. 761 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: Has true, So one you take that might be one 762 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: of my favorite ones. Yeah. 763 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: Even Mark Vantos drew a walk, two hard hit balls, 764 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: got another hit, score two runs. Like everyone was just 765 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 2: kind of doing it and you look at this Diamondbacks 766 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: team and you're like, why, what's wrong? 767 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: What's wrong? Guys? 768 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna drop I'm gonna drop a word for you. Yeah, 769 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 2: a little bittersweet is a little bit, a little bittersweet. 770 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: BET's playing some good ball in September against like a 771 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 2: wild card contending team. 772 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, well what could have been? 773 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: Because the funniest thing about this Mets schedule the way 774 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 2: it lines up the rest of the year. Every single 775 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 2: game the Mets are playing the rest of the season, 776 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 2: including the last four, are against teams that they theoretically 777 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 2: are chasing. The wild card standing between the Diamondbacks this 778 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 2: weekend is the Reds. We'll get to that preview in 779 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 2: a second. Oh we didn't check back in the estimate. 780 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: No, we'll take it. I'm still up too. 781 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 2: Well, we'll figure that one out, and then Marlin's Phillies 782 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 2: Marlins Phillies to close it out and again we're gonna 783 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 2: see the Momins for the first time in five months. 784 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Rogeri's is so bad, so bad Rogers thing. 785 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you said, wow, I said he have ten 786 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 2: touchdowns by the time we played the Marlins. I shouldn't 787 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 2: have said that. That was the talking to you, dude. 788 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: Shouldn't have said that you. Oh man, it'll'll be awful 789 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 2: with like maybe super cut of that. Now we probably 790 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 2: can't do. It's gonna be two hours to find. But wow, 791 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 2: I can't bestcrew that up. 792 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: That's we were so bad. 793 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: We were really talking about how we were so excited 794 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: we get to play the Marlins later in the year 795 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 2: twice because they're going to trade everybody and be out 796 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 2: of content. 797 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, the opposite. 798 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 2: Why do we talk Sometimes they got our closer, but 799 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 2: he's not their closer anymore. And now Sandy Chantra isn't 800 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:36,959 Speaker 2: even pitching anymore. 801 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: It's just like it's a whole, a whole mess. 802 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: We talked about too at the game, just like Wildcar Race, 803 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 2: just the postseason feels so weird right now. 804 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: Bla, there's nobody wants it. 805 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: This is this is kind of the other side of 806 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 2: the coin with the expanded playoffs, where as some to 807 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: some degree, the teams are fighting for these last few 808 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 2: spots are theoretically not that good. 809 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of how I describe it. 810 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 2: Because like, I mean, let's be honest, I the Giants, Diamondbacks, Reds, 811 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: Marlins and still fearing nobody, and I don't think anybody like, yes, 812 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: you can get hot. It's still the MB postseason. These 813 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: teams can make runs. I'm not saying it's not possible. 814 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: And the Giants at least have some pitching in the 815 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 2: front of their rotation. Yeah, kind of, But like the 816 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 2: idea is that, like these aren't real playoff teams. No again, 817 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: I mean last year those some of those wildcard teams 818 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: did make some noise for sure, but can't say that. 819 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: But you can look at it on a year by 820 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: your basis too, and like you can look at a 821 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 2: Padres roster no, and I like and truthfully, the Padre 822 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,479 Speaker 2: is a team that was actually passed on Thursday by 823 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Pirates in the standings well, which is pretty 824 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: insane to think about a team that was April's darling, 825 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: but their a team that still if they would sneak. 826 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: Into that spot, they would actually be able to make 827 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: thousand percent. Like that's different. 828 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 2: And the American League is a litle different because those 829 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: wildcard teams like the Rays, the Rangers, Mariners, Blue Jays, 830 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: you could see a vision for all those teams who 831 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 2: really make some noise, but make the Rays like still 832 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: are competing for the division, may not the Rangers. 833 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: They are kind of losing some pitches. 834 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Rangers got some bad news this week with 835 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 2: former metmax ers are missing the rest of the season, 836 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: which is a shame, but yeah, shame and that team 837 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: actually know is really fine on five game one streak 838 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: in spite of that, Okay, they finally got hot. They 839 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: beat the Blue Jays, they swept the Blue Jays, and 840 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: the blue are falling out and then you popcorn muscles 841 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 2: and then and the Red Sox finally falling out. They 842 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 2: fired their journal manager or president base of operations, him 843 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 2: Bloom with thirteen games the season. 844 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: Which is weird. Bizarre. 845 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, major major news this week, but on Thursday afternoon, 846 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 2: Yeah weird, Yeah, but it feels like that. Maybe once 847 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 2: we get to the playoffs, the juice will come and 848 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 2: you'll feel its nasty.

It's almost even a shock he's 879 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 2: in the Major League of twenty one years old because 880 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: he was so wrong. Yeah, completely after thought international prospect. 881 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: He think like one of the lowest, one of the 882 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: lowest bonuses in his entire pool. He wasn't even a 883 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 2: top thirty prospect in the Reds organization as recently as 884 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 2: the beginning of twenty twenty two. 885 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: Shout out me for that stot.

But he 919 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 2: kind of got really really hot last year at the 920 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 2: end of the year and gave people like a taste 921 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: of his tantalizing potential. 922 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: Was drafted a two way player. 923 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 2: Originally it was the hot side young pick of yeah, yeah, 924 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 2: like who could have been the fun sie young pick, 925 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: but throws one hundred devastating sly there he was again. 926 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: He came into the major league drafted first overalls as 927 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 2: a short stop end pitcher, and there's pitch. 928 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: Then he got hurt. 929 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 2: Then it kind of looked not so good for a 930 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 2: few years, and all of a sudden, it just happened 931 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 2: very quickly for him. And he is a freak of nature. 932 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 2: I believe he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. 933 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: I think I do recall that too, when he was 934 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 2: probably six seventeenth.

That's 937 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 2: why that's an unbelievable statement. 938 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: Would you rather be Lebron? Yeah? I mean in his time. 939 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you realized the magnitude that Baby Ruth. 940 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: I know, Babe Ruth is the man. 941 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 2: I kind of hate the Yankees though, Babe Ruth, every 942 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: I love Lebron too, you know I love Lebron. 943 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: That's my guy. 944 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 2: You hate Lebron, I don't Hatlebron.

I know that. 950 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 2: I believe they have statues for him there. Oh yeah, 951 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 2: he SaaS like Baby Ruthers. We used to travel around 952 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 2: and like take batting practice, used to sell out stadiums 953 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 2: to watch Babe Ruth just hit a b pai. 954 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: Life was different. It was different, Babe Ruth. Also, fuck, 955 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: I just got to hate the Yankees. 956 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: Babe Ruth was originally a Baltimore orial group and a 957 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 2: boys home in Baltimore. He was adopted by someone who 958 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 2: became a high ranking executive for the Orioles, and they 959 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 2: eventually traded him in the Red Sox. So if you 960 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 2: guys think the Red Sox trade for the Babe Ruth 961 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 2: Yankees Red Sox the Yankees is bad. 962 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: He was traded by his legal guardian, So keep that 963 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: one in mind. 964 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 2: That was a yeah, dude, listen, that's you gotta respect 965 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 2: the ball.

Wasn't 1011 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 2: that great looking at this roster for the Reds. They 1012 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 2: have one player with twenty homers, but almost everybody has 1013 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 2: double digits. The Reds move their players around a lot. 1014 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 2: They rotate, they rotate, they rotate. Their a team kind 1015 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 2: of like the Oriols, where they have so many guys 1016 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 2: in the active roster who are kind of the same 1017 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 2: skill level and sixth inning. It'll be like, oh, there's 1018 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: like three new guys in the lineup, but and they're 1019 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 2: not doing the dinebacks thing, giving up no, not quitting no. 1020 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 2: And then Sunday Mattine won for the Josekin Towna versus 1021 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 2: Brandon Williamson. Brandon Williamson another guy who figuring it out, Yes, 1022 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 2: figured out a little bit. He developed he had really 1023 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 2: bad minor league stats last few years. He came over 1024 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 2: in was he he wasn't the Winker trade. Connor Phillips 1025 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 2: is the Winker trade. 1026 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you right now. He came over 1027 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: in trade the where's Where's Where's transactions? 1028 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 2: It was? It was a Mariner's trade, for sure. It 1029 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 2: was one of was a Jadeo Suarez. Was that not 1030 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 2: the same as the Winker trade? Maybe the same trade 1031 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 2: that believe Justin Dunn Jake Free Yep, it was the 1032 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 2: same trade, okay and Jake Failey. So two huge poles 1033 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 2: for the Reds in that one trade. What everyone freaked 1034 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 2: out but for Met Justin Done, Yes, for Met Justin Done, 1035 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 2: Matt Legend. But Brandon Williamson developed a color just like 1036 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 2: as he was ending his minor league career, and he's 1037 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 2: taking that pitch to really good successful farm the majors. 1038 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 2: And we know that Cincinnati is a really difficult place 1039 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 2: to pitch, super tough, So having a soft contact pitch 1040 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 2: like a color that can work aast ops and handed 1041 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 2: bather is really important. And we've seen Williamson take a step. 1042 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 2: He's he's a good ball player, but a big games 1043 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 2: for the Reds. This Reds team was not someone that 1044 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 2: anyone expected to make the playoffs early in the year, 1045 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 2: and they have a shot to really shock a lot 1046 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 2: of people and shock the nation. And yeah, they are 1047 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 2: a team that besides this series, like I think most 1048 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 2: of us probably in baseball are rooting for to do it. 1049 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 2: They're exciting, like their new blood. 1050 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: They're different. It's fun. 1051 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 2: They just you know, they got players that are really 1052 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 2: likable too, like all young guys. I know, you've been 1053 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 2: loving Nick Sionzel forever. It's really not coming. He's definitely 1054 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 2: not someone I would even possibly even mention it, I know, 1055 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 2: but I'm saying you love him. 1056 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: He's on the team. Like, they've done a lot of 1057 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: good things. 1058 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 2: Christian and Karnossi and Stan, they're all their guys are 1059 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 2: under thirty men one guy starting line Joeyvado, Christian Karnosi 1060 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 2: plays fifty fifty. I mean like Freeley Fraley, Spencer Steers. 1061 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 2: Spencer has been awesome. Jonathan met Killer, Yeah, met Killer 1062 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 2: and met fan one of each. We've talked about. Elie 1063 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 2: de la Cruz. Will Benson has done a lot of 1064 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 2: exciting things after being cast off from the Guardians organization. 1065 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 2: So these guys just love hanging in Ohio. I feel 1066 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 2: like this happens weirdly like to Ohio, only in Ohio. 1067 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 2: The weelvy Marte. He's been pretty exciting since he came up. 1068 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 2: They got hit in the face recently, so yes, yeah, 1069 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 2: I hope, but I think he's back. 1070 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: He's back. Yeah. They also have Yankee, Harrison Bader yes, 1071 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: and Hunter Renfro yes, and. 1072 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 2: Then and Joey Vada. Always fun to have Joey Vado 1073 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 2: in the ballpark pros pro he is a pros pro. 1074 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: And of course Edwin Die's brother Alexis, who has become 1075 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: one of the best closers in baseball. 1076 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 2: So in years past, like when we talked about Alexis 1077 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,720 Speaker 2: did as well, I was like, he kind of just nasty. 1078 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 2: You're always like something just doesn't add up. Though, has 1079 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 2: it changed? I think just what'll happen with Alexis tas 1080 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 2: that he has such an obscure release point this year. 1081 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: It's so far, it's so far away. It's also really outward. 1082 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 2: And he and him, him and Edwin always said that 1083 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 2: Alexis I think had the better fastball. I want to 1084 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 2: say that everyone the bet sliders what they said Alexis 1085 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 2: slyder is like disgusting, So maybe it's the opposite then 1086 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 2: maybe that's what they said, but I was just like, 1087 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 2: I don't believe them because like it's also he's a closer, 1088 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 2: throws like ninety four to ninety five miles an hour, 1089 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 2: so it's always like I don't know, but he gets 1090 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 2: a tone of swing. Slyther Is so good. He throws 1091 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 2: the slyther In fastball each fifty percent of the time. 1092 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 2: It's they're just really discussing pitches and like maybe one 1093 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 2: we're gap, but also the Reds kind of know they're 1094 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 2: doing a little bit in pitching development. You mentioned it before, 1095 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 2: but they're really shrewd and hiring Gyle Body and all 1096 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 2: the drive line stuff. Then once he need the rais 1097 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 2: that got rid of them. Great, follow us to other 1098 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 2: Kyle Body, architect of drive Line. But yeah, Alexidas, like 1099 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 2: he always did, feel like he also walks all the 1100 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 2: guys too. I was always like a twelve percent walks 1101 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 2: ninety five miles an hour, Like this can't really last, 1102 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 2: but lasting it looks really good but really exciting team 1103 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 2: fun team. Maybe this time Lexid has actually gets into 1104 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 2: a game at City Field, as opposed to last year. 1105 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah, I guess I know. John. 1106 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 2: We're not gonna do an estimate. Yeah, no, estimate without John? 1107 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 2: Yeah no, not while he's not here. Yes, Phil, I 1108 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 2: mean we're gonna tie the end of the year. You're 1109 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 2: sure you want to give that up. I can give 1110 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 2: the one up, all right, I can give it up. 1111 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: It's all good. We know I'm wearing a tuxedo again. 1112 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: It's just gonna happen, opening the baby. It's got the 1113 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: tux seed.
