51
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: couple of nights the last few a little late.

52
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: A couple couple of nights. But Sunday was beautiful. This

53
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: was like the first spring has sprung day. And something

54
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: I noticed greatly hanging out around Brooklyn Williamsburg green Point today,

55
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: lots of METS hats. I saw so many METS hats

56
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: around the city today was amazing. And then I was

57
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: taking a walk with one of my friends, just like

58
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: around the block, just chit chat and catch it up.

59
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: And we walked past this nice, quiet little street and

60
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: that's held in the corner of green Point, and like

61
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: from the end of the street, we saw a garage open,

62
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: some guys and some nice lawn chairs hanging outside. We're like, Okay,

63
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: it seems like a good vibe, something good to look

64
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: at about seven eight old dudes, a lot of white hair,

65
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: a lot of like cut off sleeveless shirts, but like

66
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: barrel chested men. Pironi's two boxes of pizza and sny

67
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: Mets game spring Training in the corner. Pizza, beer, baseball.

68
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: That's that's what springs all about.

69
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: That that really is. I mean, listen, if we didn't

70
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: go out the last two nights, I think I would

71
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: have been about pizza, beer and Mets baseball today as well.

72
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: But we need a little break, A little break on

73
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: the the gut is not a problem. We did also

74
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: indulge in so much Korean meats last night, which was phenomenal.

75
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Shout out John grow Yeah.

76
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 2: Any restaurant we have a good time that we're gonna

77
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: shot him on the podcast. Always free. We will get

78
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: free as if we like your food.

79
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: But of course, a lot of.

80
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Mets stuff talk about from the weekend. A lot of

81
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: mess stuff in our context, not really a lot of

82
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: mess stuff really in the scope of the world. But

83
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: we got we have some picture performances. I'm get very

84
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: excited to talk about Luis Eaverno, Blade Tidwell, Christian Scott,

85
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: Mike Fassel, Jose Budo got back on the mound. Sean

86
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: and I and Adrian Howes were not very good at all.

87
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: These guys were actually in the rotation with that's so

88
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: much less fun than the guys who might be in

89
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: the rotation actually do look pretty good.

90
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: So where do you want to start off? Severino? Is that?

91
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Is that where we want to go? I feel like

92
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: that's the big name right now.

93
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sevan is the big name, and he's the one

94
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: guy who we were able to actually watch on TV

95
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: and have the day that backed it up, because like Saturday,

96
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: you guys know how much I really wanted to watch

97
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: Christian Scott to spend Mike Vassel, which is like watching

98
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: on the Marlins Press broadcast from like behind the plate

99
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: in the mezzanine.

100
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: It was like, this is painful.

101
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: But had Radio Howie, Keith Rad Pat McCarthy and just

102
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: getting all the stackcast day that was still worth it.

103
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: But Severino on Friday, I think it was a really

104
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: encouraging debut and all Mets fans should be encouraged by this.

105
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: He got up in ninety seven eight on the fastball,

106
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: pretty good shape, not elite, but like pretty good, significally

107
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: better than it was last year. We kind of wound

108
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: up in like a dead zone. Was fourteen fastball. It's

109
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: a big reason why his year spun out of the whack.

110
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 2: His slider is still awesome. Savan said he was throwing

111
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: it harder and with less break, But I think that's

112
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: just like it's spring training for baseball. Savan two, so

113
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: pitch recognition. I think he just grabbed a couple of

114
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: colors and thought they were slyders and mashing them together,

115
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: so it made it look like he was throwing it

116
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: harder with less break. Really, there's probably just two distinct

117
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: pitches being thrown and something that was really cool.

118
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: Change up.

119
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: Severrio talked about the change up this offseason.

120
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: A video of him a.

121
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: Drive line went viral because he was just working on

122
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: change ups and looked disgusting, and it really looked really

123
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: good again on Friday, he only threw five of them,

124
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: and it was down a whole mile an hour compared

125
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: to last year, but he had six more inches of

126
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: drop and three more inches of armside fate, So that's

127
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: nine extra inches of movement on this pitch compared to

128
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: the last year when he was throwing with the Yankees.

129
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: Last year he was throwing the Yankees, the pitch was

130
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: not good. It was a blow average pitch in terms

131
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 2: of mo movements, vlostly everything. It was just kind of

132
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: been a useful weapon for him to just have something

133
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: different than the fastball in the slider, something just moved

134
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: in a different way at a different speed, just like

135
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: existing he thought was helping him. But if this looks

136
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: like a big change and this movement, Prile makes it

137
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: look like it's actually probably a plus pitch, huge thing

138
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: for him to add to his toolbox.

139
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean super encouraged what we saw. Again, it's

140
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna be like little baby steps with them as we

141
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: go through spring and picking out those little nuggets that

142
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: make you hopefully believe that Louis Severno can be someone

143
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: that's going to be very useful in this rotation. But

144
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: like you said, seeing that ninety seven ninety eight mile

145
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: an hour fastball, that was the thing that I was

146
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: the most excited about, just because like the live arm

147
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: is still there early in spring, only gonna get stronger

148
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: hopefully as the season goes on. And if we want

149
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: Louis Severino to even come close to returning to form.

150
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna need that fastball to be in that elite

151
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: level totally. But that was also something that he never lost.

152
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: Last year's bad that shit got like he still was

153
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: ninety six, ninety seven, got ninety eight. It was all

154
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: the other stuff that was ruining him. And one of

155
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: the big things I was ruining him was that fastball shape.

156
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: It still had the velosity, but there was just something

157
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: about the way he was throwing it, which is coming

158
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: in flat. It was getting a little too much run

159
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: on it, where he used to have that like nice

160
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: popping fastball get up on you. So what he did

161
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: last year and he expanded on that on Friday again,

162
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 2: was start throwing more sinkers. I don't know if I

163
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: really like this, but again I kind of trust with

164
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: the best coaches, with Jeremy Hefner and Sevrena. We're doing

165
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: internally right now. And he introduced the sinker severino last year.

166
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: Like towards the end of the summer, again, when the

167
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: fastball was dead, you couldn't get anybody out.

168
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: He don't was swinging to the missing at it.

169
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: He just needed to do something to get batters out

170
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: and the Yankees brought the sinker on slowly, and the

171
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: Yankees have been kind of notorious for sinkers, I think

172
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: in baseball the last few years, as the pitch has

173
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: really been revived where it was like it was the

174
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: biggest pitch like twenty years ago, and then everyone was like,

175
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: we just want to throw hard fastballs to make people

176
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: swing and miss. But now these last couple of years,

177
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: I think the Yankees have kind of catalyzed it where

178
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: sinkers are kind of becoming cool again, for lack of

179
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: a better term. And he threw a little bit a

180
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: little bit the last five six starts of the year

181
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: last year, and then by his last two starts of

182
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: the year he was throwing a ten eleven, twelve percent,

183
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: So it was a legitimate pitch. There's a repertoire. And

184
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: Friday it was then pitching through the most. So I

185
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: think that's probably partially spring training working on stuff, but

186
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: also probably like the fastball shape again was fine, but

187
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: it will it's not going back twenty seventeen Luis s Everino,

188
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: So it's just having another wrinkle for hitters and if

189
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: anyone wants like really get into the weeds for spring training, data.

190
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: I would definitely recommend you guys checking out someone on

191
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: Twitter TJ stats Thomas Nestico. He gets deep and deep

192
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: and deep. He has his own stuff plus modle that

193
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: grades out pretty well. It looks like reasonably comparable to

194
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: the other ones. And he's pumping out all the spring

195
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: training stuff every single day. And he said that the

196
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: sinker graded out just below average and stuff plus his

197
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: fastball was just about that average, So not that much

198
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: of a difference in terms of where those pitches are

199
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: stuff wise, but just having two distinct ones another tool

200
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: in the bag always helps.

201
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think too with Severina like you mentioned,

202
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: like the swinging miss issues or whatever that he was

203
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: having last year, having a hard time putting away guys,

204
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: this sinker could definitely be that pitch to try and

205
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: maybe get like a quicker out, get an easier out,

206
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: allows him to go longer in the game without theoretically

207
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: throwing his main pitches trying to work for that strikeout.

208
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: We've seen pitchers do this in the past as well,

209
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: Like if you can get the strikeout way better, obviously,

210
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: but if you're having difficulties, like you said with that fastball,

211
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: getting that swing and miss this sinker still gives you

212
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: or sinker not stinker. Sinker gives you that sneaky there.

213
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: It gives you that ability to still like throw like

214
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: a fastball but get out. Yeah.

215
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: I think another part of it is probably the fact

216
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: that he's now gonna pitch in the stadium mostly that

217
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: where you're not that afraid of contact, where when you're

218
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: pitching a Yankee stadium you kind of want to run

219
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: away from contact, Like you can now throw some sinkers

220
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: and kind of let guys pull the round the yard

221
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: and let like a very revamped in field outfield defense

222
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: be able to make the plays on that, whereas a

223
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: Yankee stadium like you, I just my goal would always

224
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: be to not let bat touch ball like Garykll actually

225
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: did go away from that last year he start throwing

226
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: color for the first time his career and helped him

227
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: win the Cy Young but also with strikeouts went way down.

228
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

229
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: There's a lot of push and pull with this stuff,

230
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: But that's what these first few weeks spring training are

231
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: all about, like see what you have, see what you're

232
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: working on, see if that works. Maybe it doesn't try

233
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: that one the other way, because like the sinker still

234
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: isn't really gonna help him against lefties, which was the

235
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: big problem, Like, I don't want Luis We're gonna throwing

236
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: sinkers to left eas like that just has to be

237
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: fastball change ups and maybe the sly sharp enough or

238
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: maybe the colors in the spot where you can get

239
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 2: to them. But again, every single thing we saw, I

240
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: would be very encouraged by. I've lost the better, better

241
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: change up and still very good slider.

242
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: Keeping it in. Guys that are gonna be in the

243
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: rotation for sure. Sean and Iyah made an appearance yet

244
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: on Saturday, right Saturday, Yeah, Saturday, because how's their pitched today?

245
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: My days are all mest up. Manaya didn't look great.

246
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: But here's what I respect about Sean maya baseball guy

247
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: pitched poorly in spring training. Cut the hair immediately gone.

248
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: He's got short hair like me and James right now.

249
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: He just completely changed his look in spring training after

250
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: a bad start. He's like done. He apparently hasn't gotten

251
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a haircut in four years, I think is what he said.

252
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: Four years, and now he's got the close cut, the

253
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: clean look. I like it. I'm about it. That was

254
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: something that we talked about jokingly with Cody Bellinger when

255
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: he just shaved his head after like growing out the

256
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: hair a little bit. We're like, that's a baseball move

257
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: right there. Like the guy's willing to do anything to

258
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: get better, and I like seeing Sean Maya do that. Yeah,

259
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: changing stuff up. We always hear how insanely superstitious these

260
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: guys are, even like talking to some of them last

261
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: few years, Like it's very real, how superstitious lot these

262
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: players are. But Manaiyah was something else funny.

263
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: He's he shaved the beer totally down and you can

264
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: so hardcore see the beard tan line on his face.

265
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: That's something I've always been horrified about for shaving my beer,

266
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: because I've had a beer in some degree on my face.

267
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: We're going on like basically a full decade at this point, wow,

268
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: which is crazy. So I guess man I was probably

269
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: like said four or five years, I'm terrified to taking off.

270
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: My skin's just pale and this is tand I'm like,

271
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: I can't, I can't walk around.

272
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: Like, oh, you're totally gonna have like a little baby skin,

273
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be like like crazy what it would

274
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: look like.

275
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, but again, I appreciate many because

276
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: all the pictures look bad like this. Zlasty was down

277
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: like it was just maybe again this is like a

278
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: start to work on stuff.

279
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: But it looked, it looked very bad.

280
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: And not again it's it's March third. You guys listening

281
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: to this on March fourth, he pitched on March second.

282
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: We're not so much caring about result right now. We're

283
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: much more concerned with like process and what guys are

284
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: doing that could actually make them better pictures. And Manaia

285
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: maybe for him it's shaving the hair and loosening up

286
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: the handsome guy clean the shape at that hairshore I

287
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: got to say.

288
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: I also like could be your cousin. I feel like.

289
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: I think we look a little similar. I think he's

290
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: so owing though no Hawaiian.

291
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe so as well. I don't think he's

292
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: got a dialion in him. But we still like it.

293
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: We still like it and just hopefully hopefully gets better.

294
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: Just get another star in there. Wouldn't hold two innings

295
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 2: of bad spring training results against the guy.

296
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: No, and same thing with Adrian Hawser today. We didn't

297
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: get any of the numbers on him yet, right, I

298
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: believe because there was the rain. Also was a little

299
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: bit weird too with the Mets game, but Howser did

300
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: not pitch well against the Astros. Watching the game, it

301
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: looked like the wind was blowing out, like the balls

302
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: were just kind of just flying a little bit, and

303
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: seems like he just got hit. That's gonna happen with

304
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: Adrian Hawser too. Yeah.

305
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: One thing with Howser I think that was interesting is

306
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 2: that just it was all sinkers and sliders and they

307
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: the Astros actually didn't even make contact with a single

308
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: one of his sliders even throw very many in the

309
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: zone either just didn't seem very sharp, but they were

310
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 2: just they were just putting that sinker in play in

311
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: the fastball. I think he threw a couple of them,

312
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 2: but one of them got.

313
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: Smoked slastly was down.

314
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: But how there's another guy where it's not this isn't

315
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: really much of a concern, like he's here to be

316
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: a metronome.

317
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: He's a field guy too.

318
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: Where it's like, and we said this when he was acquired,

319
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: like as a field guy, the days where you don't

320
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: feel it, you're gonna get smoked because if you're just

321
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: if your commands a little bit off if your movements

322
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: a little bit off, like you don't have the stuff

323
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: to get by guys and make mistakes, and it'd be okay.

324
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: If you're off, you're off, But he's not.

325
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: He'll be on.

326
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: There'll be like there'll be one time this year Adrian

327
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: Howser goes eight scoreless, like exactly, it happened exactly once

328
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: is there will be about four months this year.

329
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: What month June? June? Okay, a squirrels and June Adrian

330
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: hows are messed up podcast watch it happen.

331
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: But there's also been like four or five times at

332
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: least where he is at the game the third inning

333
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 2: with five runs.

334
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: On the board. It's just gonna happen. For sure.

335
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 2: It's all gonna wind up as like a four to

336
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: four era by the end of the year, and probably

337
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and four of the innings. But it's just

338
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: it's not it might not be that fun to get there.

339
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the fun guys now though,

340
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: Now now the guys that you've been waiting to talk about.

341
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: One more point.

342
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: Adrian Howser after the start today was wearing the classic

343
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: shirt with Doc and Darryl and Mike Tyson with the punch.

344
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: So that's a Mets guy right here. Someone's excited to

345
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: be part of the franchise.

346
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that he's embracing the Mets culture,

347
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: not the low Mets culture. All right, now the exciting guys.

348
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about my guy first. Let's talk about Blade

349
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: did Well. Because I had been like so excited when

350
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: the Mets drafted Blade did Well. They got him in

351
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: the second round. He was my number one pitcher in

352
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: the draft that year before the Mets even got him.

353
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: So before he says, oh, you're just Mets biased, he's

354
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: on the team all of a sudden, he's great. Was

355
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: a huge fan of him, and the big reason was

356
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 1: heavy fastball. And you got to watch him And what

357
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: did you tell me, James was the first thing he said.

358
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: It's a heavy fastball. Yeah, heavy fastball. I mean he

359
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: just the way that Blade throws and how big he

360
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: is and the shoulders and everything. He just comes on

361
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: such a downward plane, like he really fires and rocks

362
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: at you. And it just when we say heavy fastball,

363
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: the idea is that it's really hard to lift it,

364
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: like hits the glove. Heavy. It sounds like deep. It

365
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: sounds like he's throwing a heavier baseball than he actually is.

366
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: It's a bizarre pitch that I've been trying to categorize.

367
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: I was talking to a friend of the podcast some

368
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: when you met last year, my guy Alex Eiser, who

369
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 2: wrote for Fangrafts. He's with the Blue Jays now and

370
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 2: his whole thing last year, research wise was seeking out

371
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: unique pitches. He wrote great article about saying and the

372
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: goest for it originally, and like he ranked every single

373
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: pitch in baseball by its uniqueness, and sang has had

374
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: like the ninth most unique pitch in baseball.

375
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: Like it was.

376
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: He's really good rither if you get there into like

377
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: nerd the nitty grady baseball research he wrote with it

378
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: was it. I think he wrote his master's thesis about

379
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: like the concept of tunneling, and that's like it's like

380
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: not as I've read the part of it because it

381
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: was so over my head, but it's like not as

382
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: true as it's made out to be. But it's just

383
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: like it was a constant late break actually doesn't exist.

384
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: It's just how good you can tunnel a pitch. That's

385
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: what gives a proced like break, so he's a freak.

386
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: I was talking about genius about how the kind of

387
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: try and characterize his heavy fastball because it's just like

388
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 2: it's something that never grades well in these tough models.

389
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: But I looked at it like I took the fastballs

390
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: that Blade was throwing. Again, got these stats from my

391
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: guy TJ stats Thomas Testico on Twitter. Because he has

392
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: vertical proch angles, horizontal approach angle, his release height, his extension,

393
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: the velocity of the carrier, the ivy b all this stuff,

394
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: and it's like it wasn't really like any other right

395
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: handed pitchers fastballs like can fine in the league, but

396
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: it was like some left handed pitchers fastballs.

397
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: But I took the right handed fastballs.

398
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: It was like and the one that was most similar

399
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: to was Derek Law doesn't really not know if for

400
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: throwing good fastball. He's not as big of a guy

401
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: as Blade, so Derek guy, doesn't he come a little

402
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: side Derek.

403
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: I think it's thinking of Jabo. Okay, okay, Derek Laws

404
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: over the top guy. But then lefty and it also

405
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: came out similarly as Nick Pavedo's, but Nick Pavetz has

406
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: much more backs and much more Carric He definitely is

407
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: like a down Yes, he's not over the top guy.

408
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: And then it was also really similar from the left side,

409
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: the fastballs that grayed out so much better. Daniy Kolmbey

410
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: was one of the best left handed relievers in the

411
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: league in the Orioles and Cole fucking Reagan's who's taking

412
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: the whole league by storm in three months. Call Reagan's

413
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: he can be the best pitcher in the league or

414
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: back on the operating table, and there's nowhere.

415
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: In between for him.

416
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: But like this, this pitch is again never gonna grade well.

417
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: It has that steep approach angle. He throws a straight up.

418
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: He's throwing a ninety eight miles an hour, And when

419
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: you're throwing that pitch ninety eight miles an hour with

420
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: that steep angle, with that carry, you're almost like it

421
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: almost feels sinkersh to me because he's throwing it low

422
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: in the zone. I think it plays better low in

423
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: the zone as well, because that's how it gets on

424
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: these hitthers better and just. And there wasn't a lot

425
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: of hard contact on to me though. The only ball

426
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: that was hit hard I think it was a Jordan

427
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: Walker tripple right before Blade left the game, which was

428
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: on a two strike change up just called little too

429
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: much play, But I get I want I want to

430
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: talk to Alex and now he's very busy working right now,

431
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: but I want to try and like characterize this heavy

432
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: fastball thing and find other guys like this, because this

433
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: pitch gets such bad grades and the stuff Miles plays fastball,

434
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: it's like a well blown average pitch because it just

435
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: doesn't have good iv B, but the WHT don't square

436
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: it up. That's what I'm saying. It's this thing that's

437
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: like a shift and where like scouts eyes have pitches

438
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: and where the models have pitches, and it has to

439
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: be somewhere in between.

440
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of old school versus like what

441
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: you're learning in like the new school of how to

442
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: build a fastball, because this is the way that he

443
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: throws out fastball is very much like old school, like

444
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: big guy on the mound throw the ball down because

445
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: they can't hit it up, Like if you come from

446
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: a higher spot than they're gonna be hitting it from.

447
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: They can't hit the ball near. And I think that's

448
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: kind of what makes Blade super interesting, is that fastball

449
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: and I mean the other pitches are also pretty good

450
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: as well. For Blade.

451
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: That's cool thing about Blade, And we talked a lot

452
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: about this happened last year. Tim Heley row in a

453
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: great article that Blade like went to the pitching lab

454
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: and revamped the whole arsenal. I think a big reason

455
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: for that was because of the uniqueness of his fastball.

456
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: And the big thing that people always say pitching development

457
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: is like if you can learn pitches, you can learn pitches,

458
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: but your fastball you're almost kind of born with it,

459
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: Like that's just the way you throw, Like that's gonna

460
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: be your fastball. You can't really change a fastball. Sometimes

461
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: you can get more backspin on it. I know a

462
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: lot of teams are doing a lot of like biomechanics

463
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: stuff like getting those fastballs great, like whatever the asterrois,

464
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: State of Christian have vair last year that was that

465
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: was voodoo witchcraft. Like I don't know how they did that,

466
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: And if other teams knew how to do that, I'm

467
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: sure they would, and I'm sure they're actively trying to

468
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: replicate that. And same with Justin Erlin's fastball when you

469
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: went back there. But I think the Mets did a

470
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: lot to create a repertoire for Blade Tidwell around this again,

471
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: this strange fastball. And he threw six different pitches in

472
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 2: his appearance out Fry the fastball, a color, a sinker,

473
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: a change up, a curveball, and a slyder. And that

474
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: slider was the kind of one that was like kept

475
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: like jumping out to me as a pitch that was

476
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: really good. It was very Gyro wish where it was

477
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: just kind of dropping hard down, but they had a

478
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: little more movement that I think most Gyro sliders had.

479
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: He threw some nice ones with Nolan Gorman, Jordan Walker,

480
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 2: Nolan Arnado, and it was just like that was a

481
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: pitch that I was like, I was watching, It's like

482
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: this is a major league pitch. And I was talking

483
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: to our friend of the show, matd Eddie about it too,

484
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: and he's like he's probably a little less bullish on

485
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: Blaye tidd Well, especially just again, this fastball shape is

486
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: something that you're like, I don't know if you could

487
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: build a star's arsenal around it. But he said the

488
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: whole thing reminded him a little bit more of familiar

489
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: with the sinker. It was a different pitch but just

490
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: the fact that he's like coming down at you. It's

491
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: like a big guy in the mound. It's like the

492
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: shape's never going to be great, but the velocity could

493
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: be overwhelming. And Blade did get to ninety eight. That

494
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: velosophy was overwhelming. The slyder and the color were really good.

495
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: The change up in the curveball I think were totally acceptable.

496
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 2: The sinker was also weird. I think that's kind of him,

497
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: like I wanted to different shape because I don't think

498
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: these pitches are good, so I'm just gonna throw some

499
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: variation with it. And I think the way that he

500
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: also went about this outing was something that I liked

501
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: a lot. I'm trying to add more pitching analysis into

502
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: the way guys act on the mound, the way guys

503
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: respond to adversity, like things like that that think are

504
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: very important on like a when you're pitching in a

505
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: baseball game, and we take that yeah, more or less,

506
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: Steven Massa, because I think we've taken too much pitching

507
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: analysis now. There's so much data available publicly. Everything is

508
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: way too like what's the word I'm looking for. Everything's

509
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: way too theoretical. It's like I have these three pitches,

510
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: I can do this, Like Nick Pollock from Pittulss has

511
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: really helped me, like see this more so like what

512
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: happens on the field. And Blade gave up a lot

513
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 2: of soft contact, a lot of the balls found holes

514
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: that probably shouldn't and then Paul Goldschmand hits a number

515
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: off like off the handle of his bat or the

516
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: knob of his bat to Pete, and Pete and Blade

517
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: kind of converge on the ball and Blade freezes for

518
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 2: a second in Pete's like, go cover first, and He's like,

519
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 2: oh my god, yeah, I gotta cover first. So then

520
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: the second he gets there actually beats him by his step.

521
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: He gets there. Now there's two just one out second

522
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: and third earlier run home and Nolan Gorman. Nolan and

523
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: I were coming up and Blade a guy who's never

524
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: pitched the majors before. I think he's a ripe twenty

525
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: two years old. He's a year and a half off

526
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: the sec. He stands in there after a meeting from Jerby,

527
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: after and he strikes out Corman and Rana though where

528
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 2: it's like that's a moment where there's adversity, there's chaos.

529
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: He kept his head high. He refocused on what he

530
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: had to focus on. He dug deep, but he got

531
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: the outs he had to get. And there's a lot

532
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: again in terms of fastball shape and all this stuff,

533
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: maybe back end potential, maybe relieve a risk.

534
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: That's like just talked about a lot Blade Tadwell's future.

535
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: But being able to do that the first time he's

536
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: ever worn uniform and said mets on it, I thought

537
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: was very cool and made me encourage hopeful.

538
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: Blade did some big stuff like that. Like you said,

539
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: the pitches and stuff, you can break that down, but

540
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: the makeup and the feel of what he's got on

541
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: the mound, that's the s The SEC difference right there,

542
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: talk about the best conference in all the sports. You

543
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: know who's another SEC guy who Christian Scott sure is

544
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: S difference.

545
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: I'll say this before we get too Chrisian Scott caause

546
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 2: have a lot of stuff say about Christian Scott.

547
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: Florida. The Gaylors are the fakes SEC team in school.

548
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Right there's the least SEC SEC. No, no, no, no,

549
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: Missouri Okay, but they're not pure SEC. Like they bounced around.

550
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: They don't. They's like not they're forever home. I'm talking

551
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: about pure SEC Kentucky Vanderbilt. No, but Kentucky's pure bread SEC.

552
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt is also pure bred in the University Florida is

553
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: so phony.

554
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: Nah, I'm not gonna go there. I'm wont go there, Gated.

555
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: The Gators are a real SEC team. I gotta say that. Well,

556
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: we love the Gators on the Mets because we've got

557
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: Harrison Bada, We've got Pi Alonzo, and now we have

558
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: my guy, Christian Scott.

559
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: And this route too very excited for this one. I

560
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: can't wait for the next one. We can actually watch

561
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: him on television. And I think it also is worth

562
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: talking about right now that Blade, Christian Scott, Dom Hamill,

563
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: Mike Fassel, all of them were part of the first

564
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: round of roster cuts on Sunday that came through. And

565
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: I think all that means is that those guys, as

566
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: the Mets have said repeatedly, those guys are not part

567
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: of the major league depth right now. Those guys are

568
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: not SP six. Those guys are not SP seven, even

569
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 2: without Max Kranick. Right now, McGill's the five, Lukes's, the

570
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: six Buddos, the seven.

571
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: I think that's clear.

572
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: Today's roster decisions make that apparent. And that's okay because

573
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a rush for these guys. And

574
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 2: also compared to a team like just for an example,

575
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 2: like the Yankees, like they kept Will Warrant through the

576
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: first round of cuts, they have a little less pitching

577
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: depth like he because he's staying again, like he's gonna

578
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: be sp seven now. But that's the difference I think

579
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: right now between Scott Vassel and with the guys in

580
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: this team, like everyone's gonna be the minor league to start.

581
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: But I don't really think that's that bad of a

582
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: thing either.

583
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not, Like I mean, a little more time

584
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: in the pitching lab. Cool with it, no problems at all,

585
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: very cool.

586
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: And again, fucking wish the Scott start was on television

587
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: because of some of the stuff looks so crazy. I

588
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: was again I was watching like the Marlins press angle and

589
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: it was like, oh, there's a slide.

590
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: There's a slider.

591
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: Also, the guy who is kind of funny on Mets Twitter.

592
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: His name is Nathan I think at Nathan nym lind'or

593
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 2: or something. He did the cutup of that angle. He

594
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: put every single Christian Scott pitch on Twitter. So you

595
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: guys can check that out. But there's so much of

596
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: this Christian Scott arsenal that looks so much fucking fun.

597
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: The fastball, the sweeper, and his little color gyro slide.

598
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: They're all gray out, super well by stuff. Plus all

599
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 2: of them seemed like the Marlins couldn't really grasp them.

600
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: I think I think it was some hard contact end

601
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: one run. But listening to Keith rad and the radio

602
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: was like, that looks good. That one looks good, and

603
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: this fastball can be such a unicorn. I was talking

604
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 2: about this, and I'm the Pictureless Discord. If everyone reads

605
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: Pictureless Discord is an amazing deal because just there's so

606
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: many high level baseball conversations happening all day. It kind

607
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: of got me thinking about Mark two, like maybe making

608
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: a little messed up discord or something that you guys

609
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: want us know, because that might be something we get

610
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: going before the season starts. But Christian Scott, the thing

611
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: that makes his fastball so cool and unique and different

612
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: and weird is that he comes from a very flat

613
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: release angle. But it also is at three quarters, which

614
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: reminds me a lot of another guy that Mess used

615
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 2: to have whose initials were ZW. But I don't want

616
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: to compare anybody to anybody yet because I don't want

617
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: to say it.

618
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: Yes, Zach Wheeler, it looks.

619
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: Like that in the mouth, and maybe it's like the

620
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: skinny guy with the scruff who's like kind of athletic

621
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: but lanky, but he's coming from that three quarter but

622
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: also kind of like the kind of shallow and just

623
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: like it feels and looks like Baby Wheeler. It's ninety

624
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: five ninety six instead of ninety eight ninety nine. That's

625
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 2: the huge difference here. But especially now that he's doing

626
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 2: that with two distinct sliders, like that feels it all

627
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: feels kind of similar to me.

628
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: And just the way he throws like that three quarter

629
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: right there, it's.

630
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 2: It comps really really similar in terms of his horizontal

631
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: release angle is very release angles release highest extension. The

632
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: two guys who each have very good fastballs, but on

633
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: different side of Christian Scott's velosophy. Once Tyler Moley, who

634
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: before all his surgeries, had a fastball that always grayed

635
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 2: out amazingly and even sat ninety two ninety four, they

636
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: always got great results. And the other one he's a reliever,

637
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: but similar Matt Brash, who is probably one of the

638
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: most devastating fastballs in the league with a sweeper that

639
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: matches it. Sliders crazy, it's insane. But Scott's kind of

640
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: right between those two guys, and the angles are also similar,

641
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: and it's very rare for someone to have that flag

642
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: of an angle while coming that far in three quarters.

643
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: Not many guys in the league have it, and that's

644
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 2: what makes Scott so interesting. Then he was also very

645
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: sinker heavy in this, which we've heard he's moved away

646
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: from a sinker towards the fastballs like as he's gone

647
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: through the Mets system. So I'm not sure if these

648
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: were just miss marked fastballs or actual sinkers. I was

649
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: talking to some guys on Twitter about that guy I

650
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 2: talked about last time, MJD Analysis, who was just like

651
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: they were moving distinctly, but they weren't moving that differently

652
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: from the four team, So maybe they're just dead zone fastballs.

653
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

654
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: It's got spring training for Savants as well, But there's

655
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: there's so much with those three pitches, the fastball, the

656
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: color of the gyro, and the sweeper that there's such

657
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: a high on this guy.

658
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of stupid.

659
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 2: He didn't even really look that good seemed like wasn't

660
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 2: really commanding the zone super well, and he's still a

661
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: forty five percent whiff right and a thirty five percent

662
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: called swing striker in the marbles in ending and a half.

663
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you guys are not watching the

664
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: YouTube version of this, you should because you can see

665
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: James face light up talking about Christian Scott. He gets

666
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: excited about this guy. But like like you said, there

667
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: are just a lot of good things where the Mets

668
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: haven't had a pitching prospect of this possible caliber in

669
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: quite some time. Yeah, since since some of the guys

670
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned that he's pitching similarly too, so

671
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: to be able to see it and know that this

672
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: could be somebody that's coming through the organization is exciting. Again,

673
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: we need to probably see him on a regular TV

674
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: to like really get a feel for what these things

675
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: are going to look like, because it's impossible to actually

676
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: tell from that press angle from behind home plate in

677
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: the press box one hundred feet away. But the stuff

678
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: that you are able to see, the stuff that we

679
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: can just look at and understand, like the forty five

680
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: percent whifts in the game, that's great, that's fantastic. And

681
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: something else cool.

682
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: Again, we had these public stuff models and he creates

683
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: like all these pitchers graded plus plus and every single

684
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: one of them. And he threw one split change, which

685
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: we heard is the pitch he's working on, and the

686
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: one moves a lot.

687
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: I don't know.

688
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: I want to see him through exactly one. I was like,

689
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: oh my god, and we should move the tons to

690
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 2: complete opposite directions slider two, which is cool. But then

691
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: the other thing about Scott, which is like trying to

692
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: help me temperate expectations. Something I've read I think and

693
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 2: Eric Loganheggen, the respect guy in fangrass right up on

694
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: him and the Mets recent prospect rankings on Fangraphs is

695
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: that he gets all this credit for this incredible command

696
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: because these walk rates are insane. Lowis walker in the

697
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: minor leagues while the best strike guy MS walk rates

698
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. And it seems like watching him

699
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 2: now and seeing I tweeted out like the pitch illustrated

700
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: that Savan puts out where every pitch lands, This seems

701
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: to me it's very much control over command, where it's

702
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 2: like the stuff is so good that he's just throwing

703
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 2: it into the zone because the guys probably can't hit

704
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 2: it and there's so many weapons that they're not really

705
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: gonna know what's coming. But it's not command where it's

706
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: like I'm picking a corner. I'm picking a corner, picking

707
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 2: a corner, picking a corner, I know exactly where it's going,

708
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: which maybe that is like the next step of development.

709
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: Maybe that's how he gets to the next level, because

710
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: maybe maybe he just shouldn't be afraid to walk a.

711
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: Few more guys.

712
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: It's kind of like where George cur he get stuck in,

713
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: or it's like to change Sports where Aaron Rodgers got

714
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 2: stuck in for a while, where it's like you have

715
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: to throw some interceptions to really take enough chances to

716
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: be good.

717
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: You have to do that. Can't maybe at FARV, but

718
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: you gotta. You gotta try and make a big play

719
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: every once in a while.

720
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: George Kurk has talked about this, where it's like he

721
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: just doesn't want to walk guys. Ever, Cliffly used to

722
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: do this too, where it's like, once in a while

723
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: you could throw some Waiste pitches and like see what

724
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: they do. Everyone wants to be like Creg Madx and

725
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 2: never waste a pitch get like eighty six pitch complete games.

726
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: But maybe maybe there's something in between this control and

727
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: command for Scott, or maybe that's just it. Maybe he

728
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: just is a control over command guy. Maybe not maybe

729
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: not ceiling down level. But it still looks like a

730
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: really good package for a major.

731
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: League star there totally, And we got to see some

732
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: other guys as well, Mike Vassel and would have loved

733
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: to seeing him on TV because we haven't seen a

734
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: whole ton of him, but like he looked good as well,

735
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: Like there's no real complaints from any of the stuff

736
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: that we saw. Hard to have like the true true

737
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: breakdown of exactly what they did again because of that

738
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: camera angle and because of what the availability was. But

739
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna see these guys again in spring, and it's

740
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: just all building on like very very good things that

741
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: we've already heard for about these guys totally, and.

742
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: Ax Sac guy is cool because can see how much

743
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: these pitchers are moving and Vassal it's like it's a

744
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: similar package right now the Scott. It seems like the

745
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: Mets have kind of molded these guys in a similar

746
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: way because he was also throwing a fastball a cover

747
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 2: or a gyro slider and a sweeper and how we

748
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: was talking about on the broadcast because he.

749
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: Actually talked about a story that made me quite upset.

750
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: I think I texted you about this that last year'

751
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: sweepers took over baseball and it was a whole big

752
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: thing sweeper, this sweeper that, and like, I think it

753
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: was kind of mischaracterized at first, but now I think

754
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: it's useful to distinguish them because sweepers and like these

755
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 2: little tight sliders are different. So the fact they were

756
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: in the same bucket, it's kind of hard to value

757
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: with any of them. But the hit a conversation with

758
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: the fore manager of the Mets buck Show, Walter, and

759
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 2: they were lamenting the fact about this sweeper revolution, not

760
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: wanting to call them sweepers. And that's like pretty endearing

761
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: from like, you know, the older announcer has been around

762
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: the game for a long time. That's not very endearing

763
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 2: from the guy in the dugout, especially when you have

764
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: a lot of guys in the system, top level stuff.

765
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: These guys are being taught these pitches, and then on

766
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 2: the field level stuff, this guy's ignoring their existence. That

767
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: made me really upset.

768
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: But what's a prospect? Yeah, what's a prospect?

769
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: Buck Show, Walter Baby with the Franciscal door.

770
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: Breaks his leg Buck Show Podcast. I don't think Jeff

771
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: McNeil's gonna hit well this year. Oops, I can't believe

772
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: he said that on this show. Is unbelievable.

773
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: But it's a similar package of Scott, I think, a

774
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: little less lively of an arm and he also comes

775
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: a little more over the top. Last year, Fast was

776
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: throwing a curveball through the miners. I thought that pitch

777
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: was doing well for him. But the sweeper, the news

778
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: sweeper looks really good, So maybe it's just they just

779
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 2: totally scraped the curveball for his sweeper sweeper grated. Well,

780
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: Fastball's fine, cothers fines. Just I think he's still good.

781
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: He's a good Oatmeally guy to have in your rotation,

782
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: but I don't think he has the upside of a

783
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: Scott right now.

784
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, And I think I think we all knew

785
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: that though, Like maybe maybe not all Mets fans, but

786
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: I think me and you have always been talking about

787
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: Vassal is like a major league starter, not a future

788
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: ace by any means. Yeah.

789
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: Again, we're not saying Scott's future ace, Like I think

790
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: him just settling into being good starter.

791
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: We're just telling you great is there for things to

792
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: happen here?

793
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: Like there totally, there's there's some excitement this could this,

794
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: like could something crazy could happen when Chrisian Scott. Something

795
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: crazy could not happen, but something crazy could happen definitely.

796
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: And then I think I feel like the last guy

797
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: talking about just Paul Gervais, massive human being throws weird,

798
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: throws hard. I love watching that guy throw.

799
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: He's just he has this weird release angle also like

800
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: very very side army.

801
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: Where but it's so low. It's weird. Yeah, low, but

802
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: it's not fully down there.

803
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: It's like and that I feel like that's cool for

804
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: the sinker because even though he's a big guy, he's

805
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: not throwing it and extending a lot. So the earlier

806
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: he releases that, the more time that sinker has just

807
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: bowling ball on these hitters. He's almost throwing these sinkers

808
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: and sliders in the exact same spot to both handedness,

809
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: just picking off these corners and one goes in and

810
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: one goes out, and it's just he's fun.

811
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: He's kind of cool. I like he's a reliever. He's

812
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: a reliever for those of course.

813
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's a fun one. He's an LSU guy too, sec.

814
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: SEC best best conference in the country. All right, on

815
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: the offensive side of things, now, because we did a

816
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: lot of pitching, let's talk a little bit about hitting.

817
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: I want to start off with Brett Baty having a

818
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: bit of a rough spring. Hasn't looked particularly great, but

819
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: he did get his first home run and he pulled

820
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: the shit out of it. One hundred and twelve miles

821
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: per hour. Big stuff. That's the stuff that you go, motherfucker,

822
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: there's Brett Bady. That's that's the guy we've been waiting for.

823
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: But then we have seen the rest of the yet

824
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: that's the spring, and it's been a lot of striking

825
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: out and lazy ground balls the second base. So it's like,

826
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: is that because he is consciously trying to now like

827
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: lift the ball, put the ball in the air, and

828
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: this is just a byproduct of like that transition that

829
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: he's trying to make or are we are we in

830
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: trouble here a little bit? Like I don't know, he

831
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: has talked about a lot in his media availability.

832
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: That's like, there's such a pure emphasis right now, pulling

833
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: these fly balls, like getting to that stuff, getting the

834
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: pitch out in front, not letting it travels much and

835
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: doing it so like maybe that is maybe there's just

836
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: too many things his head right now. I know him

837
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: and Chave has been working together a lot. I know

838
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: he did a little talk with Beltron two about hitting,

839
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: pulling fly balls and stuff.

840
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: But I see him get one.

841
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: He also hated all this guy Rothery Munos on the

842
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: Marlins stuff like kind of wild. He had like eight

843
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: swings and misses, like the twitch. Yeah, it wasn't throwing

844
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 2: super hard, but there was a lot of weird stuff

845
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 2: going on.

846
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: He looked really nice.

847
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: Similar elk Fianto's also with a home run off of

848
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: Matthew Libertor, who's like right in the sweet spot for

849
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: the Mark Fieto's home run. Nice little soft stuff on

850
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: the outside and just smack it out there.

851
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a strong guy, Like we know, he has

852
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: the home run power and it's just about actually making

853
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: the contact with him and Librator, who is very much

854
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: a fringe major league pitcher. That's that's where Mark Ventos lives.

855
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: At four A level. He's gonna dominate those guys. For sure,

856
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that.

857
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we're in the spot right now where that

858
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: someone has to differentiate themselves for their base and opening deyes.

859
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: I think Mendozi made a comment that like Brett, it's

860
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: like Brett spot to lose, but it's like it's not official,

861
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: and like Joey Wendell hasn't played the second spring training.

862
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: I don't know where Joey Wendell.

863
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: Is, but maybe it'd be nice time traveling.

864
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean nice if someone else can could mix

865
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: in there and maybe compete for this their base job.

866
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: But it's just there needs to be something. It needs

867
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: to be a clicked, it needs to be a step.

868
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: There's gotta be some movement here to make it to

869
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: make just you can't just walk. You can't just hit

870
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and spring training after you hit one hundred

871
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: last year walking the opening day at your job. There

872
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: has to be something happening, like this is still a game,

873
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: that's still competition.

874
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: It has to be Yeah, one guy who has played

875
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: well that we started to see you get a little

876
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: more consistent time. Sorry, Warte is looking pretty good. He's

877
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: looking similar ish to where he has been before, Like

878
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: he's running well, made that sick throw in the outfield

879
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: that you told me about that we I saw him,

880
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, that was an absolute seed.

881
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of stuff where we need Starling

882
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Marte to be, like just be that that athletic, quick,

883
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: good outfielder getting being a menace on the base pass.

884
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: That's his value to the team. He can be like

885
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: impactful without a doubt.

886
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Totally hit the ball one hundred ten miles an hour

887
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 2: on Sunday. I think he hit one hundred and five

888
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: on Friday, So it's like he actually is getting the

889
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: hitting the ball hard. That was the big difference last

890
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: year when he was doing awful in the year before,

891
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 2: where if you're gonna hit the ball on the ground,

892
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: please hit it hard.

893
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: Like that's what we need from Starring Marte.

894
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: And also there's like this has been this kind of

895
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: back and forth between Carls Mendoza where it's whether or

896
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: not he's gonna hit top of the oilder or not.

897
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: And I really don't want him to. We've been talking

898
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: about that. I'd be so upset if he did. But

899
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: there's like every day spring training so far, one of

900
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: these things has happened every game they play, and that's

901
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: to play with the starters. Nimo's either hit leadoff, Lindor's

902
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: either hit two or Piete hit three. One of those

903
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: things been true every single training game. Stars have been

904
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: involved with the Mets. But with that, Martes said one,

905
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: Martesa two. But in the days, the other guys aren't there.

906
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: So I'm on such pins and needles for the first

907
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: lineup that all four of them are in, to see

908
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: how it lines up. I I would love the metsico

909
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: full heeled, like bullsh of the analytics, piss people off

910
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: his starling.

911
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 1: Marte fourth, You've been waiting for that for years.

912
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: I think that would be so funny because I actually

913
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: think it. Also, there's a way this actually lines up

914
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: perfectly the line up because Nimo, Lindor, Alonzo, those three

915
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: are so good that should not be that should.

916
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: Not be changed.

917
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: The only way that should be changed if they switch

918
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: within them amongst the top. Maybe Lindor goes to one

919
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: and Nimo goes to two or something like. That's the

920
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: only way I could conceive that changing. But after that

921
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 2: the lineup is pure chaos. And like we love McNeil,

922
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: the concept of him being a top of the order,

923
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: but I just don't think that, and he's also hurt me.

924
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: I actually have not mentioned it at all.

925
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: He was shut down with a biceps train so I

926
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: really hope he's okay, guy, Jeff, but especially before you

927
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: go down there, if he's gonna be just stretching all day,

928
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: of course, I'll keep.

929
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: An eye out. I'll keep an eye out and on

930
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: the weekend.

931
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: But there's this idea that it's kind of like Nimo's

932
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: your best on bass guy, Lindora pe the your best

933
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: power guys, best gap to gap guys, and then Marte

934
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: is just this contact menace and like I can't I'd

935
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: like that behind Pete in a way like this sucks,

936
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 2: like but I don't know if he does right now.

937
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: So this is where I disagree with you. This is

938
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: where like old school brain mark comes in. Is I

939
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: just I can't get my head around like the speed

940
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: guy hitting forth, like I know what you're doing, because

941
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: it's like if you go one, two, three, he's your

942
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: second lead off like theoretically, but also like most pictures

943
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: have a whip above one, which means someone's getting on

944
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: base every inning, and that means starling Marte is hitting fourth,

945
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: and I'm.

946
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: Like, in terms of this entire team, who's the next

947
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: you trust the most to get a hit with men

948
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: on bass or to put the ball in play.

949
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you make a good point there.

950
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: You make thing like if he if he actually does

951
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: settle back in it.

952
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: Like that, what, Well, I know who I know who

953
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: I want hitting forth the Alvarez, Francisco Alvarez or honestly,

954
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: if DJ Stewart swinging the bat, I'll hit DJ Stewart

955
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: forth to get that lefty in there.

956
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 2: But the only thing about Stuart the lefty thinking makes sense.

957
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 2: But that's Marte Martes ready. But like the thing with

958
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: Alvarez difference is like I still want him to grow

959
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: into that. I think they're still a way and grew

960
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: into that. He's also been active on social media. Guys,

961
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: we haven't seen it. He's posting duets with the Mets,

962
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: he's posting duets with the fellows, with Venezuela and baseball

963
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 2: like the trains leaving the station. He's becoming super star

964
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: in front of our eyes. But there's something to me

965
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: about this, like hyper contact in that four spot with

966
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: these three guys, these massive on bass guys ahead of them,

967
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: where I don't. I almost want less of the swing

968
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 2: and miss from Alvarez. We're also like Marteg just gets

969
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 2: that hit there, like now now we're active on the

970
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: base pass, Like now things are chappening, things are churning,

971
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 2: and you get more contact guys behind it, and then

972
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: you put Alvarez buying him more feast or famine, but

973
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 2: then you let Marte steel it back. I think the

974
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 2: Mets lineup is really strange. I hope it's gonna be weird.

975
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: I hope they won't fuck with.

976
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 2: This one two three of Nimmo Lindora Alonzo. I think

977
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 2: it could be perfect, but just because there's no obvious four, five, six,

978
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: seven in the lineup, so it winds it winds up

979
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: a little strange.

980
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: But well, there's there's no obvious four. I think you

981
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: can like all the other guys four, but then there's

982
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: no obvious three. Yeah, of course that's the problem. Man,

983
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: he can only be one of they. He can't hit

984
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: both that the obvious three hit. You hit Marte two

985
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: and Lindor hits three. Come on, I think I think

986
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: that would be a mistake. But I think there's a

987
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: chance that does happen. But I want to see that

988
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: first day these guys are on the line together that happens.

989
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: Because another thing that we've been talking about, we're at

990
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: thirty six minutes into nonsense right now, his peer Minutia.

991
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: We're talking about how much I was excited to see

992
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: who's gonna be the the backup center fielder on this team.

993
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: And we got a glimpse of that on Sunday where

994
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: who started the center field or it was ty Taylor. Yeah,

995
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: Tyrone Taylor started at center field and well Nimo started

996
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: then left. I think that's a huge key into how

997
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: this lineup could run in the season, that Nimo is

998
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: just the left fielder. Now, I gotta tell you, I'm

999
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: really like in Tyrone Taylor a lot like he is.

1000
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: He's a ballplayer, man, Like he had a he had

1001
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: a hit today against ERKEDI I think like in the

1002
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: second or third inning, right up the middle, and it

1003
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: was just like pitch, good contact, hard up the middle.

1004
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: It was a single. But I just like saw him like, fuck,

1005
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: that's good baseball. Like that's just like that's one of

1006
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: those things that like stack cast and w RC plus

1007
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: and like they can't account for because it's just a

1008
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: relatively like normal mediocre play that happened, but when you

1009
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: see it, like shit, that's so fucking pretty. Like just

1010
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: you you saw that ninety two mile per hour fastball,

1011
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: said fuck you one hundred and eighty feet up the middle,

1012
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: like I loved it. And again he just he does

1013
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: everything well.

1014
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 2: The Mets have kind of lacked this kind of player

1015
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 2: in the last few years, where it's like well rounded

1016
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: bench piece. He hits for power, it's for contact, he

1017
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 2: runs while, he plays good defense, he plays hard like

1018
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: he he's like a get off the bus kind of

1019
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 2: guy too, where it's like, yeah, I'm want to get

1020
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: off the bus with Tyrone Taylor on my sports don'tay?

1021
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: What's more them playing like I Tyrone Taylor could really mix

1022
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: it up in wreck basketball. I bet, I bet he

1023
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 2: could play some touch football and be a really good

1024
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 2: outside receiver, maybe even a quarterback. Like he's just an athlete.

1025
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 2: This Mets team, again has lacked these kind of bench

1026
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: athletes last few years because we've been cycling between JD.

1027
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: Davis you could do one thing, Daniel Vogelack, who could

1028
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: do one thing, Brandon Mark Vanda is going to do

1029
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: one thing.

1030
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: I mean, is a good off the bus guy too.

1031
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: I have to give it to him. He's heasy. He's

1032
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: the post athlete.

1033
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, big guy like Tyrone Taylor can patrol the center field.

1034
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, I feel not that bad about We also

1035
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: haven't seen bather yet. I don't know what's going on here.

1036
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 2: Some bather so he'd injuries their soreness. I thought he

1037
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: played a little bit, didn't he.

1038
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't think we seen him. Has he not played yet?

1039
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: Why do I thought? Why do I think he played

1040
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: a game? But I mean, like we're also learning with Nimo,

1041
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: like starting late. It has nothing to do with an injury.

1042
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: He was just simply like, I don't protestly on February

1043
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: twenty second. I learned that last year. It's not important

1044
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: and I'm cool with it. As long as Brandon Neimo

1045
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: is healthy, I don't give a shit what he does.

1046
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: That ball of the milla from Tyro Talot it was

1047
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: actually one O five. Okay, I smoked it. There we go,

1048
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: even better? He hit it hard.

1049
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's all like good stuff. I mean, I again,

1050
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 2: it's good. It might for some fans this year might

1051
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: be a little hard to get excited, but if you

1052
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: if you love ball, like, this is a team that's

1053
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 2: gonna be kind of hilarious and fun.

1054
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: It really is a baseball team right here, this is

1055
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: this is a baseball team that's gonna be it's grinding.

1056
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be grinding. No, as the greatest coach in

1057
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: sports history has ever said, no days off with this

1058
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: Mets team. Just k try and just hit and play

1059
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: defense a little bit, pitch a little bit, kind of

1060
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: just piss.

1061
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 2: You off, the annoy you a little bit. And you

1062
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: said last night, I think that now we're going really off.

1063
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: The routs and the shows well ended here, we'll ended here.

1064
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: I'd love for the Mets again to fight this year.

1065
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: The Mets need to get into three fights. Three fights.

1066
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: You gotta fight the braves. They they gotta throw a

1067
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: fist at the Braves this year. Have to. There's gotta

1068
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: be a fist thrown.

1069
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: It's funny, like we were kind of kidding and we

1070
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 2: say this like we're being a little we're being a

1071
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: little bit of assholes. But if you remember the beginning

1072
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two season, the White Things really got rolling,

1073
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 2: was some massive comebacks and then and then a huge fight.

1074
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 1: Yes, Steve schk thrown out for instacle Indoor's face.

1075
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 2: It's just putting it like kind of I feel like

1076
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: the league and it's been open now the last few years.

1077
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: People love to target the Mets. People like to make

1078
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: fun of the Mets. People like to beat the Mets.

1079
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 2: People enjoy this. We have the richest owner in all

1080
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: of sports besides Bomber in La So it's like this

1081
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: is we have something of a target in our backs,

1082
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: and we put targets on our backs. There was a

1083
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: post went viral this week about the Mets opening up

1084
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: their dance team, and I think, I mean, as people

1085
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: who used to work for the team, we don't needymore

1086
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 2: and those people work with the team.

1087
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: That's probably a bit of a one to one there

1088
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: in a way.

1089
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 2: But there were the memes were fucking insane, and it's

1090
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: honestly a good idea. All the teams in Asia and

1091
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: Japan have the ease and they're like massive spectacles, and

1092
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: it's like, I think it's a fun things New York.

1093
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: It's urban like, it's it's a cool vibe to have

1094
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: dance team in the baseball team.

1095
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: It's also cool. He done doing it for.

1096
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 2: New but just the way it's been being rolled out

1097
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 2: right now, could probably use a late smoothing on the edges.

1098
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe maybe not for the eighty four win team,

1099
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: Like eighty four would be great. I we've been eighty four.

1100
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm happy as out, I know, but I'm saying, like

1101
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: an eighty four win team, it's like, maybe we don't.

1102
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't drop the dance team this year. Maybe

1103
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: maybe we wait for I don't know, if we pay

1104
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: Peede Alonzo and get Won Soto, maybe we go. Now

1105
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: we can get excited about this team. But all the

1106
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: comments on there was like, oh, this is we didn't

1107
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: Louise starting pitching. Nice. Now I'm happy about that. Oh,

1108
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: of course the dance team. The dancers are making two

1109
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five dollars a game, which we shout

1110
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: out to Alex for finding that online. We don't they're

1111
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: gonta paid two to seventy five a game for five hours,

1112
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: not getting paid for practice. That's why we can't sign

1113
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: Jordan Montgomerys because yeah, a couple of hundred bucks, those

1114
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars a year, it's really it's really cutting

1115
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: back on the twenty five mil Jordan Montgomery once no.

1116
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Ending it with a little bit of baseball.

1117
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: Ryan Clifford had the hard hit ball in the Major

1118
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 2: League spring training games. Still twenty years, always gonna star
