00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: Mets Stuff Podcast. James, I'm doing the intro this week.

3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: We're just trying to change things up because things suck,

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: things are miserable. The Mets just had another horrible series

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: against the Marlins. Ed Edward Diez blew another save Christian

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Scott got bombed on Friday and we got shut out.

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: But Jesus Azar though, once again salvage the series and

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: saved it with one win on the Geatherway Days for

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: a nice happy flight home. But it was horrible the

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: Mets need to Get Me Right series and went to

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Miami and it was the exact opposite happened. And we're

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it as well as just Mark and

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,600

00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: had like a like a more like a We mourned

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm not intro guy.

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not an intro guy.

29
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: I mean you dropped Facebook on us, which was that

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: was That's the biggest twist that I've that's happened all day,

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: and that included seeing OJ and Obi play five minutes

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: and then again like a man.

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 2: Bad weekend, Oh good weekend. That weekend.

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: If you guys are like us and your Mets and

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: Knicks fans, this was as as bad as sports weekend

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: if you've probably had in the last decade of your life.

37
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: It's just it was such a good punch. Nicks lost

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: both games. The Mets got pants in a series in Miami,

39
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: which always seems to happen for no reason in Miami.

40
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: A team that doesn't deserve to win, team that you

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: should beat the whole Edmunds situation is a complete fucking debacle.

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where to go with this mess team.

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: We don't even having notes for you guys this time.

45
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: We're just gonna yap. We're just gonna talk, like, let

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: our feelings out about the Mets because they're bad and

47
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: we're upset and I don't I don't. I don't know

48
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: the recourse. I don't know what to do. I don't

49
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: know where they go.

50
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, lock in for another forty minutes of yapping here.

51
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a yap session for sure. I tweeted

52
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: out after Edwin Diaz blew the game on Saturday, Mets

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: fucking suck, and I was like, I hate being that,

54
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: I really do.

55
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: I hate being negative.

56
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 3: I know we've been probably a little more negative than

57
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: we even like to be, but it's just like, at

58
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: what point are things gonna turn around? And I can't.

59
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: I can't give you this the same thing we said before,

60
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: like last episode of like, well technically they're only like

61
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 3: a couple games out of the Wildcard. Like I can't

62
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: give you that speech anymore because we're forty seven, forty eight,

63
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: forty nine fifty games into the season and things just

64
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: are not gonna get better. I mean, like maybe, but

65
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: like how much? At what point are they gonna turn around?

66
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: Like in the Edwin daz thing sucks because we if

67
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 3: he didn't blow these three saves this week, we talked

68
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 3: about this earlier, what a great week of Mets, this

69
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: would be the mess. We have three more wins, you'd

70
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: be looking at a team that I think was either

71
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: above or at five hundred, and things would be feeling differently.

72
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: But unfortunately, Edwin's just not there right now, and I

73
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: don't know when how if he gets there outside of

74
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: next season right now, I think it.

75
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: Probably happens before that. But it's just it's even a

76
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: probaber discussion, Like you heard like reports from Steve Gellips

77
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: and Tim Healy that Edwin was emotional after the game

78
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: that Edone's like basically beside himself, felt like he left

79
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: the team down, and like not saying he didn't, but

80
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: it's also just like this is a guy that was

81
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: such a rock for so long, something you can rely

82
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: on so heavily and so easily, something that was such

83
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion, like Edwin Diaz came in the game,

84
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: you get to the timer on your watch for six minutes,

85
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty seconds, and the game was fucking over.

86
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: That was it.

87
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: You didn't have to think about it. You don't have

88
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: to watch the TV anymore. You just watch because of

89
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: how electric he was, how much fun of us to

90
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: watch your pitch. And it's not the case anymore. And

91
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a like a like a step

92
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: ladder where it happens against him, happens against the Phillies.

93
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Once you're like, all right, he blew a safe. It

94
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: happens against the Phillies twice, you know, like I'm really

95
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: nervous Edwin Diaz. Then it happens against the fucking Marlins

96
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: and Josh Bell and you're like, oh my god, like

97
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: this is actually a catastrophe, and I'm I'm blessed, I'm lucky. Saturday,

98
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: I was at a concert most of the day and

99
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: I did not have service, and Mark really really blew

100
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: my afternoon by texting me, holy shit, did you see that?

101
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: And I was like, I just got on service, gotne

102
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. I was like, what do you mean?

103
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: And I looked at my phone and I saw everything

104
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, and I've like

105
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: spent this weekend. I haven't been Twitter in two days.

106
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: It's been amazing. But I'm not have to get back

107
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter eventually. Now I'm just like, I don't want

108
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: to go back to that, says Pool. It's horrible. It's

109
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: a horrible what happened in Mets this week.

110
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: It sucks. Yeah.

111
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 3: I was watching the game at a grad party, shout

112
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: out Mike, graduation congratulations, and one of our friends came

113
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: up to me and gave me a fist bump when

114
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 3: it was nine to five going into the ninth inning.

115
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: So what's that for? Is a good win? And I

116
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: was like, this game is not over. I was like,

117
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: you just gave up the lead off double. I don't

118
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: feel good about this. And I had another friend around

119
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: me who heard the same thing. I was like, this

120
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 3: game's not over. I got a bad feeling. And as

121
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: quickly as I got that bad feeling, it happened because

122
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: edwin really just I didn't even get nowt he got

123
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: maybe one, two outs whatever, it was, just got shell

124
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: Josh Bell hanging that home run.

125
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: They're piecing him up.

126
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: He pointed to the sky again, which never ends up

127
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: being the right thing to do. He isn't such a

128
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: blender of emotions and whatever is going on with him

129
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 3: right now. Like you said, Steve Gelb's old moonface was

130
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: talking about how he was crying at his locker and like,

131
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: the human side of me is like, man, that really sucks,

132
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: hate to see that, doesn't deserve it all that. But

133
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: then like the psycho Mets fan part of me goes, God,

134
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: I don't hear many other players crying and it's not

135
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: like a thing at Edwin Diaz just more so again

136
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: this idea of like the Mets just don't have fucking killers.

137
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: Killers don't cry like that. And it's nothing against Edwin.

138
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: He has gone through a lot. The injury is super serious,

139
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: and he's battling and he's struggling.

140
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: He feels like he's letting his team down.

141
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: So I get it from that standpoint, but also I

142
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: almost wish he was more of a like throw my glove,

143
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: throw a tantrum rather than a cry guy.

144
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: I didn't like the way Steve gelps were poor that

145
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: I thought that if a player going through a hard

146
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: time is like having an emotional moment in the locker

147
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: room and was supposed to be like a private, sacred

148
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: space for an athlete. I think there's a much more

149
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: apt way to say that than say this player is

150
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: crying at the locker. I think that just invites I

151
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: don't know, it invites bad vibes. What I just said, basically,

152
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: like and again, like Edwin did As is someone who

153
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: was on the top of this game for a while.

154
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Like stistically speaking, he's literally one of the best relief

155
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: pitchers in the history of baseball, which is crazy think

156
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: about in terms of like his strikeouts and his walks

157
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: and swings and misses and the singular years he's had

158
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: where he's been on top of his game. But it's

159
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: just this injury is very serious and there's something that's

160
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: not there right now. And then you even just look

161
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: at his commands in this game, like he left so

162
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: many sliders in the middle of the plate, Like the

163
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: Josh Bell home run wasn't such a fat pitch, And

164
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. I thought for Steve Gelps

165
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: to say that was kind of I don't know, it

166
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: was like doom pouring a little bit where he was

167
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: just he was trying to like fade in and get

168
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: the clicks for some some shit that's going horribly for

169
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: the team right now. Again, I don't like that.

170
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: And I don't.

171
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: Defense Steve Gelbs a little bit here in that, at

172
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: least in the like the more contacts we got behind it.

173
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: It was more about trying to show that these guys

174
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: are humans and that they do care. And I think

175
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: I think that was his intent, was to be like, hey,

176
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: Edwin Dias going through right now, like, let's feel for

177
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: this guy.

178
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: You don't think so, No, it's that's a that's a

179
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 1: reporter reporting something that's juicy as fuck.

180
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: And he.

181
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: But again like Edwin did as in this game, he

182
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: threw he threw five pitches left handed batter six I

183
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: think they were all that were all the Josh Bella

184
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: at back. Five of the six were in the heart

185
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: of the zone and one of them bounced on the plate.

186
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: That's just not a guy that has his best stuff

187
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: right now. That's it. And if you keep putting pitches

188
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: and mid of the zone because you can't look at

189
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the same similar thing with Christian

190
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: Scott in a little while later than the show. It's

191
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: just when you keep giving pitches and hit the bule

192
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: locations like even as good as your stuff is, edwind

193
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: didas the stuff is still good. It's not exceptional like

194
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: it was two years ago, but still quite good. You

195
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: keep playing pitches in the hard zone, eventually players are

196
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: going hit it like that's it, that's that's what, that's

197
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: the heart of his own Like it's really bad. I

198
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: don't I don't even I don't know. Like we're good,

199
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this podcast for a while, but then

200
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm also like I don't know what the fuck to

201
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: say about this. It's really really really bad. I was

202
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: happening to this team and we're like, if Edwinda doesn't

203
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: plow any saves this week, we're over five hundred, and

204
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: we won a series against the Phillies. We won a

205
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: series against the Marlins. You're going to Cleveland feeling good

206
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: about yourself, but now you're four games under, like a

207
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: quarter of the way through, and you're just like everyone's

208
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: looking at each other like who's gonna step up? Like

209
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: who's gonna make the move? Like Pilanzo again is like

210
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: hitting fine, but like not great, like Edmund, like Francisco

211
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: indoors bagging Arverice dropped back under two hundred, like Brandon

212
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: wo keeps hitting, but he can't do it alone, like

213
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: and he also is still hitting like what two seventeen. Yeah,

214
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: there's there's this this whole vibe of people looking around.

215
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale just reported after the game on Sunday that,

216
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: like executives believe that both Pee Alonzo and gd Martinez

217
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: will be available before the trade deadline, which is July

218
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: thirtieth this year. I do not like that to keep

219
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: moving the day of the trade dead What I like

220
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: when we were growing up that July thirty first was

221
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball trade deadline, no matter why, it

222
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, rain, sleet, hail, snow, July thirty first, that's

223
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: the trade deadline Baseball. The fact that changed the day

224
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: for you. I understand it is probably better for these

225
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: executives to have them like a like a weekday or

226
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon or a Thursday after noon or something, But

227
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: I don't like that. But seeing that report in the

228
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: middle of May, that's more just doom gloom bullshit, like

229
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: using the mesa get clicks. I hate it. I hate

230
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: it's what's happening. We even fucking did it on Friday.

231
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: You guys probably saw a TikTok Denmark and I made.

232
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: But also we were like, it's fucking true, like what's

233
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: wrong with the team right now? Like why is everything

234
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: else to focus? And said, what's happening on the field.

235
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: What's happening on the field is horrible and it sucks

236
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: to watch and seems not fun and they keep losing

237
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: games and I hate it.

238
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

239
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: I spoke with again a couple more friends at that

240
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: graduation party and they were like, still tuning into the

241
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: Mets as much as you normally would. I'm like, yeah,

242
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: I mean i am. I'm sick in the head. I

243
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: watched this team. I was like, They're like, yeah, I'm not.

244
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: And I was like, let me guess why, because you

245
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: watched a couple of games and they're not a fun

246
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: team to watch, right And they're like, of course this

247
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: like whether they're winning or losing, they don't play fun

248
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: baseball either way. And that is the other thing is

249
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: like the Mets teams have been like in the past before.

250
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: The players on this team are likable, but they're just

251
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: playing such a boring, awful brand of baseball that it's

252
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: it's hard outside of us doing this podcast to be like, yeah,

253
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go watch these games.

254
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: That's not I feel again, it's still good players. So

255
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: I just like the laws of averages. Like I hate

256
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: to say, but like things are gonna start tipping better eventually. Like,

257
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: although I don't know, Francisco and Door is the lowest

258
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: batting average balls and playing in the entire Major League Baseball,

259
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: every single player this year was qualified, he has the lowest.

260
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: And they did.

261
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: So fuck the fucking inbred Pacers. I fucking hate Tyres Halliburn.

262
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: God damn it, I hate that fucking team. God the Knicks.

263
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: I haven't even morened the Knicks yet. I'm still just

264
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: sad about the Mets and we're doing the show, and

265
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: like Mark and I had got a couple of beverages

266
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: and just like I haven't even gotten to the mental

267
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: point Where'm going to war in that team. But it's

268
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: just this Mets team day and day out. And even

269
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: just like talking about Friday, like I was so excited

270
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: to watch Christian Scott pitch before the game, and then

271
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: he was leaving a lot of the balls in the zone,

272
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: which is again, this is the thing we talked about,

273
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: which is the one concerned with Christian Scott, which is

274
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: control over command where the balls in the strike zone,

275
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: but he's not exactly placing on the edges and corners.

276
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: And my whole thing was eventually that probably comes back

277
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: to buy him at some point in some outhings. I

278
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: didn't think that was gonna come against the Marlins. I

279
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: think that was gonna happen after you shut down the

280
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: races and shut down the braves. Like I just it sucked.

281
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: That sucks so bad that that happened against the Marlins.

282
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: But he got bleeped and he got blooped, and there

283
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: has a couple of balls dribblers found holes and then

284
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: of all the pitch guys in the world for Nick

285
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Voortes hit it threw around home run and Scott hangs

286
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: on through his four innings and like he keeps he

287
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: keeps the malls off the board past that. But it

288
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: was just like, oh damn it, like this is this

289
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: is now our stopper. But again you have to remind

290
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: yourself he's a rookie still and it's gonna happen, and

291
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: it's still like there's nothing. I'm no less bullish on

292
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: Christian Scott long term, even at the show I was

293
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: at on him on Saturday in Williamsburg. Shout out Solomon.

294
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: Great show in the naval Yard. One of the bartenders

295
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: rocking are like a really old dirty Mets hat, and

296
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: like I'm as an owner of a really old dirty

297
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: like be the Mets hat. Like when you see an

298
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: old dirty be the Mets hat, you're like, ah, how's

299
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: it going. This was right after you texted me that

300
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: the Mets blew the game, and he was like, ugh,

301
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: at least weak got Christian Scott to watch. I was like,

302
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: this was right the day after he got bombed. I

303
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: was like, you're right, we still have Chrisian Scott to

304
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: look forward to. So still excited about Scott, but watching

305
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Nick Fortes just just heard her Lar King was painful.

306
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Nick Foortes at a home running this one.

307
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: Christian Bettencourt, who we were talking about, you know, home

308
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: running game three. I mean, go figure out the game

309
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: if they won. But Jazz, yeah, Jazz played played pretty well.

310
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: Josh Bell hadn't done anything all year, played well, had

311
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: that home run. It's just whatever is going on right

312
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: now with the Mets, it's there's no I'm tired of that.

313
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: It's going to get better. How about it's going to

314
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: stop we were going to play better. Like, I'm so

315
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: tired of the if this happens, if we if we

316
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: just stay.

317
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 2: Positive, if we do this, if we do that.

318
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: Even like Harrison Bader talking after he after the Phillies game,

319
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: this is something I forgot to mention that podcast because

320
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: I was blind with rage still from the series. But

321
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: he was like, yeah, we just we try to keep

322
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: a positive attitude around here. We know things are going

323
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 3: to turn around. And I'm like, that's such fucking loser talk.

324
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: I hate like positive vibes, positive attitude. I hate No,

325
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: I hate like the positive vibes only Gary v type

326
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: bullshit like that to me, Like, not about that.

327
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: I think that's major. It's the same thing.

328
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: That's not the same thing.

329
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: I it got the.

330
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 3: Same feeling of like we know where good players, we're

331
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: gonna turn around, Like, then fucking do it turn it around.

332
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: The Marlins are so so bad. That team is terrible.

333
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: They're one of the three teams in baseball that legitimately

334
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: has no ship, no chance of making the postseason, and

335
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: it's fucking May nineteenth. I will stake my claim on

336
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: that if they make the postseason, I'll become a Marlins fan.

337
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: And move to Miami whatever.

338
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: But like they're one of the three worst teams in

339
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: baseball stiving close and you got you couldn't even score

340
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: a run in the in the first game, then blew

341
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: a second the second game, and then even the third game.

342
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: It's like six dough Sanchez, you got four runs on

343
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: them and then you didn't do anything. You lost eight

344
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: innings of that game, and you wanted because six do

345
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: Sanchez is a fat piece of shit who can't throw strikes.

346
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: Like that's pretty much all it is.

347
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: Wait a second, that's not sure. The the Mets score

348
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: about four runs in nine inning of that game. They

349
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: came back late Tyren Taylor, like slawyer, roll for a second, don'

350
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: don't shoot the six six out game. Those runs in

351
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: the first seating. Absolutely actually it probably does this starther.

352
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: But he made the team as a reliever. They just

353
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: made him start. Everybody got hurt, true, but like.

354
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: Also like at the same time, it was like fucking

355
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: jump all over this guy.

356
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: He's bad.

357
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: They didn't even want him to be the starting pitcher

358
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 2: this team.

359
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Again, the problems in the series live from again, Like

360
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: if Christian scot loses the pitcher's duel, against Haysuszar on Friday.

361
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: That's okay. His schs are in that game. Also, I

362
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you noticed, it was starting ninety four

363
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: miles an hour. Yes, it was his lowest fastable lots

364
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: the season. He's doubled Arbo trouble, elbow troubles. Does it

365
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: seemed like the Mess maybe should have gotten shot there.

366
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: And then they switch up the batting order for on Saturday,

367
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: which I guess we would talking about too, this new

368
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: Mess batting order lindor Pte Nimmo, which is kind of nice.

369
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: I kind of like it, truth dig it. It's really

370
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: not bad at all. They've scored I think, at average

371
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: of eight runs per game with the new so like

372
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: maybe we should keep it, but they just the Edwin

373
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: d has blown save is the taste I cannot cannot

374
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: get out of my mouth. I can't figure it out.

375
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: And like they still found a way to win on Sunday,

376
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: and luissev Reno definitely wasn't good on Saturday. It was

377
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: all so the same thing with Mendoza where he left

378
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: him in for the seventh inning where he probably also

379
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: again should have taken him out in a game. Luis

380
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: e Ye very clearly he didn't have his best stuff.

381
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: He missed almost no bats. I think I'm looking at

382
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: it now. He had eight five swings and misses the

383
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: entire game. It was, and it was like it was

384
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: a sweeper heavy game for sever Reno, like the first

385
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: time he really featured this year, because I think it

386
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: was because his color and his change up and his slider,

387
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't have didn't have feel for any of them.

388
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: So it was a lot of sweepers.

389
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: Was for some reason that Marlin's played a lot of rities,

390
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: even though they had a lot of Lefti's line up

391
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: against Scott on Friday. But it's just it was off.

392
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: It was bad, and it just seems like Mendoza's kind

393
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: of chasing once in a while. And he left him

394
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: in for the third time to do the order and

395
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: that seventh inning and the Marlins got to him and

396
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: that's what even made the game closer, and it never

397
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: should have been. And when he has came in the

398
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: game and a game that not saying against anybody else's fault,

399
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: but it should have been nailed down anyway. It's just

400
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: the Mets almost when they're winning, they're like, let's really

401
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: push the envelope and like really push this victory. But

402
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: it's like, just just bite down, cut the neck, slip

403
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: the throat, let the blood poor out, and win the game.

404
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't know if they have that.

405
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: No, I, like you said earlier, I really wish I

406
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: knew what I wanted to talk about more. But this

407
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: team is just it's sucking the life out of me.

408
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: Like it's just it is so And between that and

409
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: then like the Knicks and the Rangers, two of like

410
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: actually caring about like really important games right now, draining

411
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: them to turn this team on and see them play

412
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: the way they.

413
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: Have been playing.

414
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: It's a bit of the group chats so on my cousin,

415
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: shout out Matt, Robbie. It's just right now where it's

416
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: like who are the Mets? Like what's baseball? Like, I

417
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: don't even know who are the I don't know. God,

418
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: I know you guy don't want to listen to it's

419
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: like pontificated about the Knicks. But the Knicks losing two

420
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: games this weekend when they're up through two in this series,

421
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: Jalen brunts and breaking his hands, oh G, getting hurt

422
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: and missing the whole series, And I one fucking Pacers

423
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: fan friend. I'm not even shouting him out, Fuck you Ross,

424
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Like he just texted me NonStop college by all this

425
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: shit about how much better the Pacers are the next

426
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, guys are hurt. The whole team's injured,

427
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: Like this just sucks. But God, and this next team.

428
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: It was so funny to have a juxposition against what's

429
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: going on in some met season right now, because this

430
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: NIXT team this year. Anybody out there, Knicks fan, this

431
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: is some of the most fun I've had the professional

432
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: sports team I've rooted for in decades, my entire adult life.

433
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: Going back, I was like telling it to Martin Forest,

434
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: probably the twenty fifteen Rangers. It's twenty twenty fifteen, twenty

435
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: fourteen Rangers, twenty fifteen Mets, twenty ten Jets, Like these

436
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: were the moments where I was like, I can't wait

437
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: to watch this team play in like the middle of

438
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: the season, the fifty to fifty percent mark, but I

439
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: can't wait to watch Jaylen Brunson at the time, ojnob

440
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: and Julius Randall like just just body players up and

441
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: for this season end. Like this still a great season.

442
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: Bad taste in the mouth and then to flip on

443
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: the Mets, and it's just like, oh, it's painful. And

444
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: again it's so annoying because so many things, especially I'm

445
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna keep harping on this game, Savay. So many things

446
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: went well. Every hitler for the Mets four through nine

447
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: had the base hit, and almost all of them had

448
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: multiple base hits. Thomas neither had two balls hard, Jeff

449
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 1: McNeil two way, Jeff nil starts to swing a little bit bad,

450
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: a little bit better. Our boy, Jordan, we got not watched,

451
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: he said. Jeff went back to was all bad.

452
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: He was the fu was using that.

453
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: They all went back to him, went back to the

454
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: old bad. So shout out Jordan. Jordan Simpson Mets me

455
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: like you guys, definitely see him on Twitter all the time.

456
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: He's not blotched. He's a bad hound. But Jeff has

457
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: finally looked better, like jaj Martinez hitting the ball really well.

458
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: Right now, Fiano's has come up and he's done what

459
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: should have happened with Vanta. He's playing against the lefties

460
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: and the defense isn't great, but he's he's hitting the

461
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: lefties brought reasonably well. He gets two smoked balls off braxticing.

462
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: Garrett Marte's getting hits now in the bombing the order,

463
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: which is like as his ops is like six ninety,

464
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: which again is league average right now, because no one

465
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: can hit in baseball. That's nice. Harrison Baylor's on base

466
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: every single game, his wall in the middle. Feel like

467
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: every time I watch him, there's something just so wrong.

468
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why we can't put it together. I

469
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: don't know where the chemistry is weird. I don't know

470
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: if the players are weird. I don't know if your

471
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: organization's weird. It's just it looks like it's a trying

472
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: effort every night, and you could feel Gary and Keith

473
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 1: getting annoyed too. It's just like there's there's like this

474
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: kind of like feeling in this organization that's not going anywhere.

475
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: Do you think that the frustration and the way that

476
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: we feel is also because this is now like the third, fourth,

477
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: fifth time we've seen these guys playing together, and it's

478
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 3: just we're we're having the same questions that we've had

479
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: except for that one year twenty twenty two where it's like,

480
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: why isn't this working like that? Is that maybe why

481
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: it's frustrating? And we're getting so tired of him, Like, ah,

482
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: it's because it's kind of the same bunch a bunch

483
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: of guys running out there and still not doing anything.

484
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: And I guess that's just humans. We like new toys,

485
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: we like shiny objects. And the fact that this is

486
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: the fifth year, the sixth year that we've had again.

487
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: Lindor came a little bit later, but the Alonzo Nemo

488
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: McNeil triumphant, like as as the core guys. It's been

489
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: two winning seasons in five years, zero playoff series victory,

490
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: So it's just but also like, is that like toxic?

491
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's toxic because these guys were

492
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: all still objectively good players. Like I don't know to

493
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: say about Rsisco and Doorna right now. I just don't thin.

494
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: Guy's hitting one ninety five and through two hundred play appearance.

495
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I know we should

496
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: be better. His bad bit is the lowest in the league.

497
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: That's batting average of balls and play. He has the

498
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: worst batting average in all of baseball, and he makes contact,

499
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: which is insane. All of his expected stats say he's

500
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: getting tremendously unlucky and watching him play. I feel like

501
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: he hits balls hard, they don't find holes. But Molso

502
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: just like, why aren't you stats better? And he's still

503
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: playing fantastic defense, But I'm like why just bad? And

504
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: I watched I'm like, okay, we have Cowo good weeks,

505
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: two bad weeks, two good weeks, two bad weeks. I'm like,

506
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: why why aren't your stats better? And like Nimo nimms

507
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: hitting the shit out of the bar right now, and

508
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: I love brand Nemo, but it's also just like that's good.

509
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: And then Nimo has a situation on Saturday which really

510
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: fucked the Mess. I Mendoza got some unwarranted shit for this.

511
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: I didn't like that, but he basically he was out

512
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: sick for two days. I think there's been a stomach

513
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: bug going around the Mess locker room, which is like,

514
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: of course, the stomach bug. Yeah, why would yeah, why

515
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: went through Why wouldn't everybody had be having diarrya right

516
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: now in the mest lockero metric playing and watching the

517
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: team every single day. And he said he was having

518
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: stomach convulsions late in the game and people know this.

519
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: He had to come out and we lost the d H. Yeah,

520
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: because Tyrone Taylor who came in and he had to

521
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: go Nimo for left fields. Then we had a pinch

522
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: hither Dj Stewart hitting as Tanner Scott in a tenth

523
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: inning when the Mess really needed to hit. And it's like,

524
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, this comes back to all the short

525
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: bench stuff that we're talk about last episodes of the team.

526
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: It's just like, how does this shit keep happening? Like

527
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm again, if you're having stomach convulsions, I probably don't

528
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: want you on the field anyway. It's like you're having

529
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: Stumbach convulsions now, Like I'm not holding against brand Nimo,

530
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: but this right now, I think grabbing stomach convulsions, Like

531
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: what the hell? Like, I don't know.

532
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: Jake Deegman's the stomach guy too.

533
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: He was probably like it was, this is when it's happening,

534
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: like I've got colitis, I've got crons. I don't know

535
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: how this shit just keeps happening Like such insane shit

536
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: happens to the Mess all the time, Like I had

537
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: the tweet throwing viral a month a month ago. Now

538
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: where there's just like regular teams, Oh my god, Baseball's fun,

539
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 3: let's play, and the Mess is just like SpongeBob Silent Hill,

540
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: like in the dark room with shadows all around me.

541
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: It's like I turn on S and Y at night

542
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: and I don't know what the fuck is going to happen,

543
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: and I'm not excited.

544
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit scared, oh, terrified, terrified, frustrated, bored.

545
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 3: There's it's all the things that like aren't aren't good,

546
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: all the things all adjectives to describe things that are bad.

547
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: Is how I feel. Bored, Uh, disinterested.

548
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: I I don't know if that's gonna play trump this

549
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: next time. I've been des pitching the city field.

550
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. I don't think they should.

551
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: There were conversations again like we we really lean into

552
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 1: this ship and we're just trying. We're trying to make

553
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: some tiktoks and get some views. You guys know that,

554
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: so the lifers you're with us. We got a lot

555
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: of shit in our comment don't read the comments, but

556
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: people were like, you guys are part of the problem,

557
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: which I honestly agree we are part of the problem,

558
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: like making it TikTok like that one hundred percent. But again,

559
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: after the game, what Edwin says, he's willing to pitch

560
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: in the seventh and the eighth inning to get his

561
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: mechanics and his timing right, and Mendoza echoes that are

562
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: they going to tell Mets production maybe don't blare the

563
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: led lights and do strobes when z comes in the

564
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: seventh inning in the sixth round game, like, I don't know.

565
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: And then you watch free gear pitch on Sunday and

566
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: he's completely fucking lights out electric again, Yeah, he's switching

567
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: on back to back day's two winning save, but it's

568
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: just like, now does he have to pick a song?

569
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't know. I just I want

570
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz to be okay because he's so good. I'd see,

571
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: I know how much he cares. And this is painful

572
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: because he's so awesome. It sucks and I can feel

573
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: how mad he is. And the whole game on Saturday,

574
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: you felt his heart rate and he had something he

575
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: said after the game on Thursday. We didn't mention it

576
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: because we were doing the podcast right away, and he

577
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: said in the post game that I didn't realize and

578
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: shame on me for not realizing it. But this is

579
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: the first time he's ever pitched with the pitch clock,

580
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: and Edwin d As traditionally is one of the slowest

581
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: guys to home plate through twenty twenty two and twenty one.

582
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: And that's that's a hard thing for you, especially when

583
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: guy like Edwin Diaz who throws max max effort every

584
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: single pitch, Like the pitchclock's a big deal because you're

585
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: not resting as much in between your pitches. So that's

586
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: probably something elevating his heart rate. That probably is something

587
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: as screwing with this command. That is something as screwing

588
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: with his timing. And it's not an excuse, but it's

589
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: just it is something that I was like, oh my god,

590
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: I even realize that because he missed all of last year.

591
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, that was a I think even the last

592
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 3: episode I mentioned how Mendoz is, like, well, we saw

593
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: that he's slowing things down a little bit, and it

594
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: didn't even remotely cross my mind about the pitch clock.

595
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: And he was back in Marlin's Park now sny tweeted

596
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: it before the inning. I looked up, like, what are

597
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: you guys doing again? Social media? Person working that job,

598
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: they're probably a wage worker who's just like probably kind

599
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: of funny. It probably loves a job. They're having probably

600
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: a dream job situation. They get to tweet Mets games

601
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: and live tweet Mets games. But that tweet, to say,

602
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: is the first time Edwin Diaz has been back in

603
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: Marlins Park since the World Baseball Classic? What the hell like?

604
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: What an omen that is? Uh?

605
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: God?

606
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 3: I wish the next one that I could at least protect.

607
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: I could be happy talking.

608
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: About this, that one, I'd be vibing right now, I'd chill.

609
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: But now I'm just not.

610
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: No, I'm not now.

611
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 3: I'm sad. I'm sad. I'm frustrated, I'm whatever. This Mets

612
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: team is so frustrating this season so long. I'm gonna

613
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: ask you a question right now, because it's still be nineteen.

614
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 3: It's still a lot of time to go.

615
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: And the Mets have had bad weeks and good weeks,

616
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: and bad weeks and good weeks. We have what eight

617
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: weeks until the actual trade deadline?

618
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

619
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: On August first, it's Pee Lionso on the Mets lineup. No, No,

620
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: you think.

621
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: I think Pete's gone. I think Pete traded on August.

622
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: By August first, to me, the trajectory that this team's

623
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: going and the way that the Mets seem to think

624
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: about things like Steve Cohen last year's siting, like we

625
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: ran the numbers and there was like an eleven percent

626
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 3: chance that we still even make the playoffs if we

627
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 3: keep these two guys with Verlander and Surerzer that I

628
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 3: think it's going to be like a cost benefit analysis

629
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 3: type thing where it's like we hold on to Pete Alonzo.

630
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: No one's coming to the games anyway because his team stink.

631
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 3: So we know that winning is the ultimate marketing, not

632
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: not trumpets and lights and all that nonsense. What what

633
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 3: does it actually do to keep him here? How much

634
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: better can we be? And just because we trade him

635
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: doesn't mean we can't bring him back, Like I know,

636
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: that's always like the crazy theory everybody has, Oh, we'll

637
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: trade him and resign him, and most of the time

638
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: it doesn't work.

639
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: Most of the time it doesn't work.

640
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 3: But he's having such a weird year where again, and

641
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: if he turned down seven for one fifty eight like

642
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 3: the reported deal.

643
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: We've got more reporting on that now. Patrizzo Patrigazzo in

644
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: the Mets. It happened last summer, okay, pre bors pre starts, okay,

645
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: really is a a total non story. That's being blown after.

646
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: Super non story, then all right, super non story. But

647
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 3: let's just say that that's what Pete wants more than that,

648
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: I don't know how many teams are going to offer

649
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 3: him more than that.

650
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 2: So it's like, what is his market? Really?

651
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: The only thing is, and we talked about this when

652
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: we did that entire video about trading Pete Alonzo, is

653
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: what can you actually get back for him? And it's

654
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 3: not that he has no value, it's just first baseman

655
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 3: do not They don't get stuffed back. Paul Golchrmant was

656
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 3: traded for a bag of balls like Luke Weaver, Carson

657
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: Kelly and Andy Weavers.

658
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Awesome, one of the best relievers in baseball. Yeah, it

659
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: wasn't with the Diamondbacks, that's for sure. So like, what

660
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: what do you get back for Pete? And how many

661
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: teams are really interested in Pete that could use him.

662
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: I know you can use about the DH spot that

663
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: opens it up a little bit more, but you look

664
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: at the good teams and you're like, yeah, I don't

665
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: know if a big, lumbering first baseman is the guy

666
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: that they need right now. It's also just it's if

667
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: a team's not gonna sign Pete because they still expect

668
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: them the test free agency. How much do they actually

669
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: give up to get Pete? And we're gonna talk a

670
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: lot about the trades inline what happens. We can't we

671
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: can't do this every single episode. But again, as shitty

672
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: as it sounds right now, on fangrafts the National League,

673
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: the Mets have the six bets odds to make the playoffs.

674
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yes, what six, I might be growing one, two, three, four, five, six,

675
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: eighth pasaspect, that makes more sense. That's twenty two percent.

676
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: But that's still again, at the end of the day,

677
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: a fringe playoff team. It's one playoff spot. The Nationals

678
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: got swept against weekend. Nationals is not a good baseball team.

679
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 2: They played well.

680
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: It's the Mets. It's the Cardinals who suck. It's the

681
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: Pirates who're gonna get too late. The It's the Padres,

682
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: the Diamonbacks and Giants. That's it. That's nationally. All those

683
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: teams have just one. There's two spots for all those teams,

684
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: all those teams and the Cubs too. Yeah, exaems like plans.

685
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: It's two spots for all those teams. I don't think

686
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: it met as much worse than any of those teams.

687
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: Maybe the Cubs now with showtalk keeps being as good

688
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: as he is, But it's just like this is still

689
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: just like it's between a seventy five and eighty five

690
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: win team, the same way it wasn't January the same

691
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: way it was February, the same way in March and

692
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: April and hour in May.

693
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: I know we talked about bad time love baseball to

694
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 3: watch this team, and I'm like, I love preting it.

695
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: You're testing me hard.

696
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: This is the biggest test I've ever had watching this

697
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 3: Mets team.

698
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: I thought there would be a lot more fun to

699
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: watch this year. I really do way more fun. I

700
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: thought fun in losing. They're not fun in losing. I

701
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: didn't think Lindora is gonna hit one ninety. I think

702
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: Nimo was gonna hit too ten. I didn't think Starling

703
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: Marte against might saying actually impeditant expect.

704
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: Jef McNeil's it in two twenty.

705
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: I didn't think Jeff and Neil would not be a

706
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: major league baseball player. I didn't think that. I don't know,

707
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't think Edwin Diaz blow half

708
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: his same opportunities. It just sucks. It sucks to Seams

709
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: sucking the life out of me, and it's painful. I'm

710
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna watch. I'm gonna watch the whole season, and of

711
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: course not gonna stop watching his team. I'm going to

712
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: watch every single game the rest of the season. But

713
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: it's just it's painful. It's painful. But I don't know

714
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: when to stop, and I don't know what to do

715
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: about it.

716
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 2: I don't know either. I don't know.

717
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: You want to want to talk about Media Marvels, I'm

718
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: done talking about this. Meths team down and move on.

719
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: This series sucks.

720
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: Series sucks. We got The Guardian's Preview coming up after this.

721
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: But Media Marvels, your guys, maybe second favorite segment that

722
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: we do on the show. I think the Prospect Report

723
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: does the best, but Media Marvels is fun. We get

724
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: to talk about just stuff going on in the world.

725
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: Stupid idiots saying things. First one being Ron Washington calling

726
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: out Luiski or May which Washington. I don't know if

727
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna put the sound clipper, not James. I'll let

728
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: you decide. You're gonna be the editing guy here. No pressure,

729
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: but I'll grab it. Ron Washington base called out Luis

730
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: Ski or May for not getting a suicide squeeze down

731
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: on a bunt on a pitch that was safety really hard. Yeah,

732
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: safety squeeze to uh on a pitch that was really difficult,

733
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: ended up, you know, causing outs and whatnot.

734
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: He can handle a bat. He didn't do the job.

735
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't anything I did wrong.

736
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: He didn't do the job. Why you make any excuses.

737
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: He was throwing the ball in the strike zone.

738
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: He did not get the bunt down.

739
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: Period.

740
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: It was just like a weird like, why the fuck

741
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: do you hate Luis Ki or my moment kind of thing.

742
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: Maybe don't bunt as well.

743
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: It was it was a shitty moment because that safety

744
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: queeze would have tied the game for the very bad Angels.

745
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: The Angels right now are in the universe where they're

746
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: like not even playing the same sport as anybody else. Yeah,

747
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: like they're just out here with bad baseball players, failed prospects,

748
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: castle vibes, relievers, bad pictures. Ron Washington, who doesn't even

749
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: know what the word document is, and they're just trying

750
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: to play old school baseball. And there was a pitch thrown.

751
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: Who is the guesst the Cardinals, I don't remember. It

752
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: was a guest this team of the Red Jersey. But

753
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: it was a safe squeeze attempt and the pitch was

754
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: in the other batter's box and is supposed to get down.

755
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: It was like a sly the way from a lefts

756
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: seed like way, way way out of way, and Luis

757
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: Germs guys knows Lefty. The pitch failed away and Louise

758
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: basically threw as bad as the ball missed the bunt

759
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: that the runner coming third base was tagged easily. And

760
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: Ron Washington's guests on the microphone, I understand it's because

761
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: I think his Brandon Drewie is coming off the il

762
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: this week, so I think they're fully no, they're going

763
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: to cut luiski Orme. Yeah, which it sucks schering a

764
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: boy this way. But he got on the microphone he

765
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: just says he didn't do the job.

766
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: I did it right.

767
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: That guy sucks. Like what get the hell out of here,

768
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: Like what kind of manager You're supposed to throw a

769
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: player under the bus, especially a player that's like a

770
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: gritty grinder player. It just came into your locker room.

771
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: It's just that was so ugly and so gross from

772
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: like a lifetime manager, like a lifetime baseball guy.

773
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: That was awful. I hated to see that shit.

774
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: It felt weird, It felt unnecessary again like bad Angels team,

775
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 3: Luis ki Erme is new to the team, difficult play.

776
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: Should he have done better? Maybe?

777
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: Sure, but like this is the hill you're gonna die on.

778
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: Ron Washington, luiski Orme versus you feels weird.

779
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: It's just loser inerury in. Ron Washington's being like that

780
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: guy fucked up.

781
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: I did. I did my job.

782
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: I called it play. This was the safety squeeze. Was

783
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: the best thing I could have possibly done. Fuck you,

784
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: Ron Washington. That was so shit. I just, I just

785
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: I hate with managers like that. Throw the players from

786
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: the bus like you should always be and I think

787
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: Carlsdos does a great job of this with the Mets.

788
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: Like you should be the last line of events for

789
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: your players. Yes, you should take everything, like you should

790
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: put your walls up. And if the media, anybody tries

791
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: to get after your players, you're the protector.

792
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: You're the saver.

793
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: You run the locker room, that's your job, and you're

794
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: going out to the public the media, and you're like,

795
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: you're chastising Luisk, your may on the veterans minimum, who's

796
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: being who has released you decide to pick up on

797
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: your team.

798
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: That's so horrible.

799
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: It's like the exact opposite of like when you call

800
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: out like Mike Trout, and it's like, if I can

801
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: call it Mike Trout, everybody's held accountable.

802
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: It's like if I call it Luis.

803
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: Ki or May, no, that's what it is. It's loser

804
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: energy for a loser. Ron Washington, but I don't know

805
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: that was an annoying one. The next media marvel. I'm

806
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: the media marvel myself, as well as a lot of

807
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: other people in baseball media who were not the most

808
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: ambitious about Paul Skins as he came through My really

809
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: last year. Skenes was came from the Air Force and

810
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: then he went to LSU and he had amazing you'r

811
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: LSU in twenty twenty three, and he came to the Pirates.

812
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: I think he threw three or four professional innings and

813
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: had no command and got touched up and like high

814
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: A or Lowa or something was bad. Came to the

815
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: minor leagues this year completely dominated. TRIPLEA had a fifty

816
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: percent strikeout. Right now, he's come to the major leagues

817
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: and he just had perfect game through. I think it

818
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: was five innings. I think he struck out the first

819
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: seven batters he faced. Yeah, it felt it felt like

820
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: carry well all over again. But the team did the

821
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: right thing and actually took him out of the game.

822
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: And it was just like, oh my god. And again

823
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: shame by myself for kind of getting sometimes a little

824
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: bit too obsessed with pitching rather rick and all that

825
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and being like, oh my god, it's God,

826
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: there's one hundred two miles an hour. It doesn't matter

827
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: what his fastball looks like. And also maybe it'll matter

828
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: when he's twenty nine, but right now he's twenty two,

829
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: So who the fuck cares. So call myself off for that.

830
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm not infallible.

831
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: I'm the media Marvel hand up, well done, well done. Yeah,

832
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: I'll call you out on that one too.

833
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes sometimes you're a little two numbers guy, your little

834
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: two numbers guys. Sometimes sometimes you gott watch the boy play,

835
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: and he will every single chance he ever played. You're like,

836
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: oh my god, nobody hits this guy because it's okay.

837
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: I watch him playing a ton too. It's just my

838
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: father's I never say anything bad about it. I think

839
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: there were a lot of people out there were much

840
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: worse than me. My whole thing was just like, I

841
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's like a top ten overall prospect. Yes,

842
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: my whole thing was like I would have considered Cruise

843
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: or Langford draft ahead of him last year. Now that

844
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: being said, Paul Skeins is what the fifth sixth best

845
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: picture in baseball? Probably I was gonna say, like nineteen sixth.

846
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: He's top ten.

847
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: I think I think maybe he's like he's pushing. It's

848
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: a lot of really good pictures in baseball. Like, he's

849
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: not better than Louis Castillo. Do you think he's been

850
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo?

851
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: No, okay, that's fair.

852
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so that's ten, fine, all right, he's top twenty.

853
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: Do you think he's been Logan Gilbert He's like twelve?

854
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: Yep. Oh man, it's tough because Logan Gilbert is really good.

855
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: So, okay, that's what I'm saying. There's a lot of

856
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: really good pitches in baseball.

857
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: Paul just does things that no other humans do. That

858
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: throws pitches on the mound as a starting pitcher, totally.

859
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: It's the fact that they have him and Jared Jones

860
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: staying next to each other, and it's like, oh my god,

861
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: it seems to actually makes some noise this summer. If

862
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: ben Chrrington didn't build like the worst tuning lineup in

863
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 1: all of baseball, it's funny too.

864
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: I feel cold Rockies.

865
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: I guess they're winning too.

866
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 2: Now.

867
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Pirates fans because they have like

868
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: the window was here, it's open, where if they would

869
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: have when they started this rebuild, like what four years ago,

870
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: they have the perfect opportunity right now to run through

871
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: the central Oh, the be the dominant team that division.

872
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: They literally have two aces, two of the twenty best

873
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: pitches in baseball in their starting rotation, like it feels

874
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen metssh where like if you get into a

875
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: playoff series against Jared Jones of Paul Skans, you'll be

876
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: shitting your pants. Yeah, because Jared Jones was one hundred

877
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: miles an hour with like the super rising action and

878
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: a slot and I'll make your knees buckle looks like

879
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: it looks like old school de Gram where he's only

880
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: throwing two pitches and they're both in the exact same spot,

881
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: and pitters can't do anything.

882
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: It's Skins.

883
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: Skins is doing things that most people on Earth can

884
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: never ever do. Where he's what's it called. He's he's

885
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: throwing a splinker, and the splinker is when you like,

886
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: you mix the splither and the split and the sinker.

887
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: So he's throwing it like ninety four miles an hour,

888
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: but with splither motion. It's just freaky and disgusting. Only

889
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: him and Joan Durant and the only to play people

890
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: at Earth who've been able to throw that pitch successfully.

891
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: And Juan Durant is like one of the best closers

892
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: in baseball. I gave a big home run today to

893
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: lose the game to the Guardians, But he's a closer.

894
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: He does it for fifteen pitches at a time. He

895
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: he just threw one hundred pitches across six innings and

896
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: a second major league start and had the Cubs, the

897
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: team who's been really good this year, who's been the

898
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: only team that's seen him pitch as well. Yeah, that's true,

899
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: as both starts against the same team, probably the best

900
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: team in that division, and he made them, he made

901
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: them look like infants. It's just it's he again. I

902
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: forgot how fast more two was hands up for that.

903
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm so happy I didn't. I didn't dive in like

904
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: some of the other like super pitching nerds did.

905
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 2: And I love the memes.

906
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: One of my favorite meme formats where it's like an

907
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: IQ chart where it's like people between like zero and

908
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: seventy and it's like the like the super person faced

909
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: the tongue out and it's like, damn that fastball, go Burt.

910
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: And then it's like the scoop in the middle where

911
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: it's like most people are IQB bestween like one hundred

912
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: and oh my god, fastball shape is in the dead zone.

913
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: It's definitely not gonna be good enough toss best major

914
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: league level. And then it goes to the genius is

915
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: like the ones they have any Q people with the

916
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: little hold on it's like fastball go Bart.

917
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: It's almost it's like one baa.

918
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: It's like we're almost everyone's obsessed with like being right,

919
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 3: but like having the right take on some too much

920
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 3: hype and then you forget that he has.

921
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: This hype for a reason.

922
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm watching him for I was finding the round Washington

923
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: clip on on Twitter. Now the top thing of my

924
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: timeline is Anthony Edwards after beating the Nuggets, pointing at

925
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: an old white guy sitting court side and Denvers and

926
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: where are you at? Where are you at? That's awesome. God,

927
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: the NBA is so cool besides the Knicks, but the

928
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: Skemes thing is amazing everyone. The next time, Paul Skean

929
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: started thinking, it's gonna be this coming Wednesday. Everybody trying

930
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 1: to tune in and watch it must watch TV because

931
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: it's appointment television. Him and Jerry Jones pitching that rotation.

932
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: They're both appointment television pirates. Have a fun special thing

933
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: brewing over there, and they're team that again. Now they

934
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: look pretty good. Another thing is gonna be harder for

935
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: the Mets to get passing the wild card race?

936
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 3: Yeah no, and they could use the first basement too.

937
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna keep it. That's gonna be my my

938
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 3: annoying thing I do. He's the first baseman.

939
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: And then last meet and Marvel, we're going to talk

940
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: about last thing briefly. Just get back to horrible shitty

941
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: METSA METSA uh stuff ourselves because we made TikTok on Friday.

942
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: Couple people got mad at us is the fact that no,

943
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: I'm we're gonna, we're gonna talk about when I talk

944
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: about we had no plan right now where you happen

945
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: if you got to still within us year is down

946
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: here is talk. Yeah, we just we basically called out

947
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: the fact that the Mets are there's undue pressure on

948
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz right now. Yes, and he's simply not himself.

949
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: And you can kind of feel last year when he

950
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: was trying to rush back to throughout his ding back

951
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: on the team, like give the fans the trumpets. Yeah,

952
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: and I still love the trumpet. Trump is still really

953
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: cool thing. But Edwin Diaz just he's out of source

954
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: mentally right now. It's more mental and physical, which sucks

955
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: to think about. And it just people got mad at us.

956
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: They thought we were the problem, and maybe we are

957
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: kind of the problem.

958
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: Maybe we are the problem, but I don't I don't

959
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: think we are.

960
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 3: Also like that, that TikTok was not It wasn't as

961
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: much about Edwin Diaz as it was more about the

962
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 3: organization as a whole, and the focus of the organization

963
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 3: is not necessarily always on the field rather than off

964
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 3: the field.

965
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: It's like to do a lot of fun stuff, and

966
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: fun stuff is cool. I like fun things in my

967
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: ball too, But I wish this team was five hundred yes,

968
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: which is maybe they will be. Maybe they will.

969
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna have to beat the Guardians, who

970
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 3: were LOKI one of the teams in baseball statistically this year. Now,

971
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna stand for the entire year,

972
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,479
Speaker 3: but the Guardians are playing some good baseball, and James,

973
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 3: what do we got for those pitching matchups? This is

974
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 3: actually like one of those times we're gonna talk about

975
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 3: a team we've been talked about very often.

976
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: No, almost never. I can't remember the last time the

977
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: Mets played the Guardians. Might be the Oh they played

978
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: them last Oh they play them every year now yeah

979
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: wait they came here. Yeah, I don't even remember. Yeah,

980
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: render Simonez you know, oh yeah, that was the whole thing.

981
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: But we got pitching matchups Monday, six ten games in Cleveland,

982
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: which I love a six to ten star time, But

983
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: six ten on Monday, it is Tyler McGill making his

984
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: triumphant return versus Ben live who's been surprisingly good. He's

985
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: a junk baller that doesn't throw very hard, So you

986
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: guys get a good look at him. I feel like

987
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: it's a change up fly their guy. And then Tuesday

988
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: another trumphant return. This is this is I use this

989
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: term all the time, guys, sometimes I use it lightly.

990
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: Tuesday is the epitome of the ace off. It's the Aces,

991
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: It's the asiest ace off we've had the Mets team

992
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: this year. So it's Adrian Howses versus Carlos Carrasco fucking Jesus.

993
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: And then two and then Wednesday afternoon at one to ten,

994
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: Jose Gaitana versus Tristan mackenzie. So the Guardians are really

995
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: getting our best shot. We found a way to put

996
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: our best three pitchers in the mound for this series.

997
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, and also it's funny because now, like you know,

998
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: you play three game series in baseball, Mets have a

999
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: six men rotation. So it's mcguil, Howser Kintana for these

1000
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: three series, three game series against the Guardians next Friday night,

1001
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: if you guys want to set your calendars accordingly, Christian

1002
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: Scott versus Kyle Harrison Friday night.

1003
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 2: Oh I got to work on Friday.

1004
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: Fuck, I really want to see Christians. Kyle Harrison's amazing

1005
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: I'm in my laptops to the field. I'm a wi Fi.

1006
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I got the pressed WiFi still,

1007
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: But then that's gonna be Scott Safreno, MA andya. And

1008
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: then next Monday the Dodgers come to town for a

1009
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: nice Memorial Day game. So our series against the Dodgers

1010
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: as it lines up right now is miguil Houser Kintana.

1011
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 2: When will it cool? When will it stop? How cool?

1012
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: Is that?

1013
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 2: No?

1014
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 1: It's fun?

1015
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: Don't you like that?

1016
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: Yeah? I love I love this Bets baseball team. Let's

1017
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: talk about the Guardians.

1018
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: Emmanuel Class is back to being disgusting, back to being

1019
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: nasty as he's a point six two seven whip.

1020
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 2: That's insane, that's nuts.

1021
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: Cass Class actually blew the save on him on Sunday,

1022
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: but an earned run. I forgot who may error. I

1023
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: feel like it wasn't That wasn't gymnast. I'll remember who

1024
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: mid the air.

1025
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 3: I got some relievers in here with some slow eras.

1026
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: Which which one are you the most interested in? That?

1027
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: Maybe the people don't know and not named Scott Barlow.

1028
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 3: I think he's still working back from injury. He had

1029
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 3: really hot to start to the year. I don't know

1030
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 3: if he's back activit. Yeah, but Sam Henches is fascinating.

1031
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 3: Sam Henches is like a six'. NINE i think he's a,

1032
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 3: lefty and he has an explosive. Fastball he gets so

1033
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 3: far down the. Mountain he extends so.

1034
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: Much the FASTBALLS i got in your hands in a

1035
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,959
Speaker 1: quarter of a. Second BUT i want to talk about

1036
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: Class a again, briefly BECAUSE i think Class a is

1037
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: just one of those guys doesn't get talked about enough

1038
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: because he's been the best closing in, baseball one of

1039
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: the best three fore clothing in baseball for three to

1040
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: five years. Now since that The guardians trade for him

1041
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: For Corey, klueber which at the time people gave him shit.

1042
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: For but The guardians are so good at trading pitchers

1043
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: the moment their arms are about to, explode it's uncandy

1044
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: how good they are. At this happens every single.

1045
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: Time but they Missed.

1046
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: Bieber they tried To they tried so hard to do

1047
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: and they tried so. Hard but class has had a

1048
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: FASCINATING i don't want to call the renaissance because he

1049
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: was still good last, year but he kind of started

1050
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: to get some shit last year because he got a

1051
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: little strike happy Where classe is a col guy and

1052
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: his color's so good as one hundred miles an hour

1053
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: with like fourteen inches of. Movement but he would just

1054
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: throw in the zone over and over and over and

1055
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: over and over and over. Again and he wasn't giving

1056
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: up any, walks but he just it was a lot of.

1057
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: Contact and with throwing that color over and over again

1058
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: in the strike, zone it was getting just it was

1059
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: made contact with a lot and it wasn't a lot

1060
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: of hard hits and it wasn't a lot of. Barrels

1061
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: it just winds up being a lot of dinks and

1062
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: dunks and ground. BALLS i found, holes sinking line drives

1063
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: that winds up in blowing some saves AND i think't

1064
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: five or six last, year maybe seven or, eight like

1065
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: near the top of the league for guy who had that.

1066
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: Appearance but this year class has made a fascinating adjustment

1067
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: to take his color out of the strike zone more

1068
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: often and with that strikes add is with that color

1069
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: add of the strikes and more, often the quality of

1070
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: contact for him has gotten. Better for the hitters got significantly.

1071
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: Worse his chases have gone from a guy who's a

1072
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: Round lea gab ver slightly. Blow it's one of the

1073
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: highest in the league at chase, rate and ironically he's

1074
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: walking fewer batteries as. Well it's because walk grade and.

1075
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: Half it was only like five or six. Percent now

1076
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: it's like between two and three. Percent so amazing adjustment

1077
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: from class and a good lesson to young pictures out.

1078
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: There maybe we're like buging through levels that, like if

1079
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: your stuff is that, good you don't have throwing the

1080
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: zone offen because hitters are not gonna be able to.

1081
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: HIT i Think CLASS a was a little obsessed with

1082
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: limiting free. Passes so he's. Fascinating he's one of the best,

1083
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: pictures one of the best relievers in the, league and

1084
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: he's the things the pitches that he throws like most

1085
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: people can't really throw those, things so it's really. Cool

1086
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: see Also Hunter gaddis another very interesting relief picture in their.

1087
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: Bullpen gaddis was a starting pitching. Prospect he was coming.

1088
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: UP i think it was the same draft class As Tanner,

1089
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: biby and both of them were kind of shooting through

1090
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: his system at the same. Time And gads weirdly had

1091
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: a better fastball Than. Biby but didn't have the same

1092
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: kind of breaking ball stuff That biby. Had biby's whole.

1093
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: Thing we're Missing bibby this, year he pitched an incredible

1094
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: game on him On. SUNDAY i think gets seven or eight.

1095
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 2: Straight byb was twenty twenty. One gaddis was twenty nineteen

1096
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 2: draft both fifth round.

1097
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: Picks, Though, okay SO i just know they were like

1098
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: their similar level similar. Time gadds twenty six he was

1099
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: a college. GUY i feel Like bybee was a college

1100
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: guy as. Well But gaddas just has this, wonderful, beautiful

1101
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: explosive fastball whole throw middle high in the zone and

1102
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: get past. Guys and now in this shorter stint in the,

1103
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: bullpen he's got his slyder up to eighty eight miles an,

1104
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: hour which that's slider eighty eight miles an. Hour that

1105
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: suddenly now becomes an, outpitch especially as it's just it's

1106
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: just very solid. Slider so he's really. Good gotta watch

1107
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: a good example of organizational success WHERE i can develop

1108
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: pitchers and maybe they're not gonna be the best star,

1109
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: others let me put them in the bullpen and now

1110
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: they're elite.

1111
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 3: Relievers henches is the same. Way on the offensive side of,

1112
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 3: Things Josh naylor is having a great. Season he's just

1113
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 3: one of the better hitting first basemen in the. League

1114
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 3: loki just a very very good. Player you look at

1115
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 3: third Baj Jose ramirez is still. There he started the year,

1116
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 3: slow and he has been getting hot as of recent

1117
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 3: up to eleven home runs on the. Year he was

1118
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 3: doing a really weird thing early on where he was

1119
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 3: striking out a ton because he was selling out for,

1120
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 3: power and he's kind of gone back a little bit

1121
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 3: more into being more contact oriented and the power is

1122
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 3: gonna come naturally with. Him this is a weird offense,

1123
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 3: though those are kind of the two big. Bats Stephen

1124
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 3: kwan is not going to be playing out in this

1125
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 3: series because he is, hurt still, Out but the rest

1126
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 3: of this team is like league average or below league

1127
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 3: average hitters andres him is gonna be a name you.

1128
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: See he's gonna get on, base gonna, annoying make good.

1129
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,959
Speaker 3: Plays but, like this is a weird. TEAM i don't

1130
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 3: really know WHAT i think about The, guardians AND i

1131
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 3: don't know if my opinion has changed on, them but

1132
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 3: this organization does is successful and they do it with

1133
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 3: teams like this every single year.

1134
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: They produce baseball. Players The guardians are famous in baseball

1135
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: circles for pretending they have shortstops guys who are not

1136
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: actually short.

1137
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 2: Stops, yes so.

1138
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: Guys Like Brian, rokio And brian roko is playing trusts right,

1139
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: now he's HE'S i think he's, Fielding, OKAY i haven't, no,

1140
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,880

1141
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: also in the, lineup playing every single. Day just a

1142
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: very boring little, power little, speed combo league average. Bad

1143
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: but it's just And david fry right, now who's been there.

1144
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: EVERYDAY dh Commons al came up to kind of push

1145
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: him FOR dh. Reps But David frye has like a

1146
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: four hundred bag average on balls and. Play he keeps

1147
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: hitting the ball hard enough to make an. Impact Will

1148
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: brennan hit a walk off home Run sunday Against Johan.

1149
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,399

00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 1: because WHEN i was In italy last, month every single

1152
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,640

00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: time in three years like all of his bat the

1158
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: ball metrics have taken a full nose, dive but he
