1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: The Mets take the series from the Dodgers. Francisco Alvarez hurt.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Not great news, but the team is playing well and

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: we're taking shots at Andy Martino. That and so much

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: more on this episode of The Mets the Podcast.

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 2: What Is Up?

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Mets Fans, Welcome back to another episode of The Mets

Speaker 1: The Mets go into La take the series. Granted, we

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: don't need to talk about Sunday. Sunday was ugly, don't

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: worry about it.

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: We were due.

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: What are the Mets gonna win seven in a row?

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: This isn't the twenty twenty two Mets. We're still working

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: up to get there. But the Mets are playing some

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: baseball that is encouraging again, taking two out of three

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: against the big bad Los Angeles Dodgers. James, I believe

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: you were still in the same country that you were

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: on the last episode. But new city where we at.

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: Still in Spain, Sevilla, beautiful, lovely, wonderful city, great old architecture,

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: so so many churches, so many pictures of Jesus and

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: saints and stuff on the Street's very very religious, very

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 3: religious city. There's an entire section of the one section

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: of the city. Every street is named after virgins, like

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: different kinds of virgins, Virgins Delos montanias Virgins Day Victoria. Yeah, yeah, exactly,

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: Mark the street named after Mark the Virgin. But amazing

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: place accidentally was here during the fetia, like their big

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: Sevilla festival, which is like the biggest festival in the

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: whole country of Spain that goes for a week where

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: everybody gets pists drunk in these tents for a week straight.

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: Went on Saturday, and they do like a section of

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: this like everyone just like dressing really well in tents

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: and like getting drunk, like suits and gal the woman

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: wearing the flamenco gowns with the little hair things. And

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: then the other half of it is like the Jersey boardwalk.

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: But in Spain, I've wrote some rides. They have like

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: fried foods, they have like kebabs and hamburger stands. It's hilarious.

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: But we have very fun time, wonderful city. Last Angria

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: a good place to be.

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: And honestly it makes it even better when the Mets

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: are winning and playing some baseball game. One actually really

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: got the vibes going because we had Yoshinobu Yamamoto enemy

43
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: number one, maybe number two, I don't know where with

44
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: him is six. Yeah, I mean now that we saw

45
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: him pitch, it's really not that important to us anymore

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: because that fastball is absolute meat. I don't like it

47
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: looks so hittable. I don't know what's going on. I

48
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: thought he had a good fastball.

49
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: We tell people about the concept of a heavy fastball,

50
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: which is when the guys who pitch have like the

51
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: really steep approach angle and throw a fastball just gets

52
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 3: into the bomb of zone quickly. Yamoda has a light fastball,

53
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: which something's better, really good. The fact that he has

54
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: the low arm angle, not the low arm angle my

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: brand doesn't work fair. Oh now the flat arm angle,

56
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: and it kind of rise up on you in the zone,

57
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: but it doesn't rise enough to really get over your

58
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: bad just stays on your back. And it seems like

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: Yamo and you guys probably saw us watching this game.

60
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: I mentioned it to you during the last episode. He's

61
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: just throwing them all right down the middle, like I

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: don't know it. There's definitely an adjustment coming over from Japan,

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: where won the ball is different, So you're gripping them

64
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 3: the seams differently. It's probably moving differently, probably not getting

65
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: as much action, or maybe too much action or less action.

66
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: Something is probably weird. They still us to adjust to it.

67
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: I still thing is going to adjust. The whip is

68
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: still low. You can definitely just see. It was like

69
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: a few ball. A lot of balls are put in

70
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: play really hard, but probably a couple of stars. So

71
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: gall Mother gets his gets his feet wet here. But

72
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: the Japanese strike zones much more east to west. The

73
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: American strike zones much more north to south. And the

74
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: Dodgers like to keep these fastballs low, and I guess

75
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: the gallam modo should probably get them higher. Or maybe

76
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: he just like move to a two seam and keep

77
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: it more middle, left and right. I don't know what

78
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: they has to do, but every fastball is right down

79
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: the middle, and the Mets did so much damage to

80
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: those fastballs. Stuart DJ Stewart's big home run and his

81
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: deep sack five that should have I thought it was

82
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: gonna be another home run. Those were both on fastballs.

83
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: Bayther's RBI single and double were both on fastballs. Overall,

84
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: we put seven of Yamo's fastballs in play the softest

85
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: hit one was ninety four miles an hour. The softest

86
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: and the Averageacks have lost in all the fastballs we

87
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: put in play were one hundred miles an hour. So

88
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: we had a game plan to hit that fastball and

89
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 3: we teed off on it.

90
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: And it seems like the Mets game plan as well

91
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: was to be aggressive early because his curveball and his

92
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: splitter are disgusting.

93
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: Those pitches are.

94
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: Nasty, and it seemed like the Mets consciously went into

95
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: this game. We know that he seems to throw this

96
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: fastball over for strike, and that's something that we saw

97
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: with code I Senga early on in his career too

98
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: with the Mets. Remember last year where it was like

99
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Senga really would go fastball, sweeper goes fork every single time.

100
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: It got a little bit predictable, and seems like Yamamoto's

101
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: falling into that same thing where first pitch he's looking

102
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: to get that strikeover so he can go to those

103
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: secondary pitches. And that fastball, as we know, is super

104
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: hittable and the Mets jumped all over it, which was fantastic.

105
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: And as a guy who chose to go to the

106
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: Dodgers instead of playing for the Mets and got paid

107
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: all that money. It just felt really really good. Again,

108
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: not a petty podcast, Not a petty podcast. We're always

109
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: professional over here on the Mets of the podcast. But

110
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: felt really good to smack him around just a little bit.

111
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 3: And also really nice to get this all out of

112
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: the way again before it seems like he's probably going

113
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: to figure it out. He right now, as far as

114
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: fastball starting pitchers in baseball, I'm just wanting to make

115
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: sure I get this for guys who've made at least

116
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: three starts. He has the first, second, third, fourth, fifth,

117
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: sixth highest average acts of Las City, our highest hard

118
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 3: hit percentage on that fastball. It's just it got crushed.

119
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: And again, I think he's gonna find a way. We

120
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: saw that Cola Sanaga last year. Took about a month

121
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 3: and a half and then he kind of made the

122
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: adjustment to use the color more and then to play

123
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: that with the ghost fork and then it went ballistic.

124
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: We're seeing Shota e Managa.

125
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, ready to go.

126
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: He's he's having the best start to the season of

127
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: anybody almost in the league right now. Like the let

128
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: alone rookies are people coming over from Japan, so he's

129
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: like a special breed. But just it was so nice.

130
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: We talked about the last episode just to be like

131
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: also just a wingy get up early game one of

132
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: the series hit this guy who spurned us felt amazing

133
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: and then our guy in response to the seam and

134
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: I another start where totally fine, got threw, did what

135
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 3: he had to do. But you guys definitely seeing like

136
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: the straw the straw house mentality I talked about last

137
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 3: episode him where it's just it seems like if it

138
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: doesn't all come together, it doesn't all really work. It's

139
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: just gonna you're gonna labor through five and you're gonna

140
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: just pray the guy every inning.

141
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but luckily for Shan and Ayah, we got Reid Garrett.

142
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: We got Reid Garrett. It doesn't matter. The best reliever

143
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: in baseball question mark Reid Garrett is that the TikTok?

144
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Is that the short Because this guy has been discussing

145
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: he did get a little bit of trouble because Joey Wendell.

146
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: I guess maybe he was still time traveling at the time.

147
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: He didn't get back into the current era yet he

148
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: was making errors at third base and what was it

149
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: the sixth inning that just really cost his team. It

150
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: made the game closer than it should have been, led

151
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: to that Chris Taylor hit for the guy who was

152
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: I think had like three hits on the year, had

153
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: been playing so incredibly terrible. Yeah, Joey Wendall making some

154
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: horrendous plays over there got Mets fans particularly mad on Twitter,

155
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: and I get it because Joey Wendall up until that

156
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: point really hadn't done much besides that one big hit.

157
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: But he did redeem himself later in the series getting

158
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: a few more hits there. I saw a really funny

159
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: tweet again in that Mets Twitter community, which if you're

160
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: not in it, it's just there's content in there, man,

161
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: there's some good stuff. And someone was making a tweet

162
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: about how comparing David Stearns to Billy Eppler, and he's like,

163
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: we know that Eppler was forcing Buck to play Vogel

164
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: back and we gave him a lot of crap about that.

165
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: When are we going to start to turn on David

166
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: Sturts for forcing Carlos Mendoza to play Joey Wendell instead

167
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: of Zach Short And I'm like, buddy, have you looked

168
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: at Zach Short's numbers, Like, I'm sure he's a nice guy,

169
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: he's got a good story, but it's not like he's

170
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: doing anything to deserve this playing time either.

171
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: No, it sucks.

172
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: That's just again, Wendell will show himself too. He's gotten

173
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: some of this, but he's on the team to play defense.

174
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: Now we've up to basically three errors in two and

175
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: a half weeks of baseball. It's not in the spot

176
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: you want to be for someone that is only guaranteed

177
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: major league contract for a couple of million dollars. Where

178
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: every time I watch Joey Wendell playing again and there's

179
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: nothing really specifically against Joey Wendell, but it's just I

180
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: wish that that roster spot was being occupied by healthy

181
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: Ronnie Maurcio. The addition of some power, some vibes, some energy,

182
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: just some flare that would have for this team right now,

183
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: I think would just be such a fun addition to

184
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: what's already been a really really fun season so far.

185
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: But also luckily this did not matter at all because

186
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor, Lefty Lindor came up and finally hit a

187
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: home run left handed. Now, this entire series got to

188
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: hit every single game left handed, and it feels like

189
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: the page is starting to turn. Lindor you got a

190
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: really funny tweet about it, talking about fuck the Lindorks.

191
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: He's black, and again, it's just gonna be a thing

192
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: where you guys are gonna look up in four weeks

193
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, Lindor is hitting two forty five with

194
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: seven homers and twenty five RBI's just like we thought

195
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: he would be if you would have just got hitting

196
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: on the head or been in Europe for two weeks

197
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: for the season to start and not really realized how

198
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: bad he was to actually start the year.

199
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: So I watched Brandon Nimmo on Mookie Betts's podcast over

200
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: on bleacher Report. I don't know if you caught any

201
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: of the conversation over there, but they actually talked about

202
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: the slow start to the season for the Mets, and

203
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: they talked about Brandon Nimmo being like a captain on

204
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: the team, and Nimo's like, well, this team's a little

205
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: bit different. We all lead in different ways. Nimo's like,

206
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna be the raw, raw guy. Pete's more

207
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: of the raw, raw guy. He loves the big moment

208
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: loves getting people excited.

209
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: He goes.

210
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: Lindor has a little raw rah in him, but he's

211
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: more of a lead by example and the fact he goes.

212
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: He's the most even keel person I've ever been around.

213
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: He goes, you can't tell if he's hitting one hundred

214
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: or if he's hitting five hundred. Can't tell if he

215
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: had a good day or a bad day at the plate.

216
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of something that us Mets

217
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: fans and just in general sports fans forget about, is

218
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: that it's such a long season. I mean, think about

219
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: how we were talking even just a couple of weeks

220
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: ago about this Mets team and what we're saying about

221
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: them now. Very different vibes. But that's what makes Lindor

222
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: one of the best shortstops too. Is Yes, he's stunk

223
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: to start the year, he's been hot ever since he

224
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: got the standing ovation. I actually think he's hitting over

225
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: three hundred with a couple home runs in RBIs, which

226
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: is just it's funny, that's gonna be the date that

227
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: we all like artificially use as the turning point for

228
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor season. But I'm about it because good. I'm

229
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: glad that we cheered for him. But I like to

230
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: hear Brandon Nemo talk about like the kind of chemistry

231
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: or how this team works, because we don't get to

232
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: hear that a lot too often. How many podcasts even

233
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: get to talk to this guy, not many, and it's

234
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: not like they're asking these kind of questions. So the

235
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: fact that he was able to talk about that and

236
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: brought up Lindor being so calm, being so even keel

237
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: it showed in the series like this where if you

238
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: didn't know, if you took away the numbers, you would

239
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: have thought Francisco doing the stuff that he did last year.

240
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 3: The team definitely has a unique level of camaraderie. I

241
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: think a lot of that comes from a lot of

242
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: these guys having been together, whether it be in the meds,

243
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: minor leagues or the major leagues for a very long time,

244
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: especially guys like Nimo Empede who probably were aware of

245
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 3: each other for going on seven full years now, I

246
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 3: mean drafted many years apart, but not that different age,

247
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: just because the difference of going to college versus going

248
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: in TOTO the league try to high school. Then it's

249
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 3: also I think hard for people, especially new Yorkers to

250
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: understand that mentality with Lindor, where it's just like we

251
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: get mad about everything, and we get really happy about

252
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: everything too. It's like you're rolling, You're riding down the

253
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: street to get caught at the stop sign. Fuck you.

254
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: Then you're like, you go to your grocery store. There's

255
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: there's a deal on salami. Let's fucking go. It goes

256
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: up and down, it goes up and down. Everything changes

257
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: a lot. So the concept of being even keeled for

258
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: one hundred and six two game season it's kind of

259
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: foreign to you and I and most people in general.

260
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: So the fact that he can do that at the

261
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: level he's at, with the pressure he's under, with the

262
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: money he makes, with the talent he has, with what

263
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 3: he's done the major leagues, with what he will continue

264
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: to do in the major leagues, it's amazing. And again

265
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 3: it was always a matter of time. The full season

266
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: line still looks pretty ugly. But now we're going on,

267
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: like you said, like a week and a half and

268
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: we're definitely gonna make a mental note. We're gonna do

269
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: a little bookmark. We're going to take that little thing

270
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: right there. That's the day we're gonna use for the

271
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: risisical endorse since X date, and we're gonna rank him

272
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 3: for all the stats and get a bunch of impression.

273
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 3: It's gonna be amazing. But that was a big play

274
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: in this game. And also just the fact that he

275
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: says that after the game. I was really happy to

276
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: pick up Wendel. He was like, he made a bad play.

277
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: He's been going through it, he's feeling the pressure doesn't matter.

278
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: We got your word team, like we're gonna win a game.

279
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: And just Martain and Stewart added on, got got some

280
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: insurance late and just to beat Yamoo that first game,

281
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: and like keep this winning streak going because you can

282
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: beat the Royals, you can beat the Pirates. Suddenly you

283
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: walk into Los Angeles, you beat a three hundred million

284
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: dollar pitcher and the Giants and then the Dodgers, and

285
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: then you mostly keep Freeman Lindor, Freeman Betts and Otani

286
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: at bay. And I think that a lot of that,

287
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: and we'll talk about more as we get into game

288
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: two with Budo, especially with Mina in this game and

289
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 3: all the relievers, really seems like Hefner's game plan was,

290
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: we're not letting these.

291
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: Guys beat us. So glad you said that, because.

292
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 3: No strikes throw those guys almost the whole series.

293
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: And in game two now, which we'll move into that

294
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: one or I guess we'll talk about al resident second here.

295
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: But even like in Game two, you could notice with

296
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: Budo it almost looked at at times, I told you,

297
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: as mechanics were all over the place against Otani, Betts

298
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: and Freeman, I was like, what's going on with mechanics here?

299
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Like he's missing way away, like he's not really particularly close.

300
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: But that for sure was the Mets game plan. We

301
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: are not going to let Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman show

302
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: Heyo Tani beat us because those are three of the

303
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: best players in baseball, and relatively speaking, the construction of

304
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: this Dodgers team, as insanely good as it is, this

305
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: is not a shot the Dodgers. Dodgers fans, if you're listening,

306
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna probably get mad and take it out of context.

307
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: But after the top end guys, and this is most teams,

308
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: but there is a massive fallout in production right now.

309
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: Like James Allman, I don't think is a bad player,

310
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: but he's hitting like one fifty. Chris Taylor, I don't

311
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: think is a bad player, but he has three hits

312
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: on the season. There's a bad drop might beta maybe

313
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: he's bad now there's huge drop off. Same thing with

314
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: the bullpen, like their bullpen arms are just kind of

315
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: not very good. They get hit, they had their erratic

316
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: they're not consistent. And this is why you see the

317
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: Dodgers team maybe have a little more struggles than you

318
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: would expect for what is supposed to be like the

319
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: odds on favorite to win the World Series this year.

320
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Gratherol's injured as well. Will Smith's still

321
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: hitting really well. Task Hernandez is producing so much. But

322
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 3: that's why it kind of the Tiawska Hernandez signing that

323
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: a lot of people were like, why the Dodgers doing

324
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 3: this, This is ridiculous. They didn't need him. Now it's shouting

325
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: teams like they probably need another one of him. They

326
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: probably need the second Taskar because him hitting fifth really

327
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: bridges or fourth or fifth, I can't remember the guys

328
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 3: are hitting anymore. Sunday was a weird, weird game to watch,

329
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 3: But you're just this team and this is the struggled

330
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: they've gotten into the last few years where they get

331
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: into these playoffs series one or two of those type

332
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: guys get cold and then they go two winnings where

333
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 3: no one can really get a hit.

334
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: Shout out Ernie, Shout out Ernie. This is this whole

335
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: argument that he's had with us. We have a friend again,

336
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: friend of the podcast, Ernie or Venezuela, and friend for years.

337
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: We have argued with him, and he's like, the Dodgers

338
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: can't win in the playoffs. It's not sustainable. Blah blah blah.

339
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Starting to see it a little bit, starting to be enlightened,

340
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: just based on the fact of how this roster is built.

341
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: They can't afford guys to have a series off.

342
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: The other thing we have talked about now with this

343
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: game ending is the horrible versus Coalvera's injury, which sucks.

344
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 3: And then this is just this is what happens when

345
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: one year better players is a catcher. You're gonna get

346
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: beat up, You're gonna get bruised when Mendoz is giving

347
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: him these off days. Shame on, Shame on everybody for

348
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: being like, why is Alvarez not on the line up

349
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: more often these days? That dumb got hit really hard

350
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 3: the last game this series against the pirates. It didn't

351
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: get hit in a backswing, got hit in like a

352
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: swing swing. I don't remember who was was rather than

353
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: Henry Davis. Henry was Henry Davis, right? Another catcher. Catcher

354
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: catcher crap the pitch. But also the Mets have gotten

355
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: calls for an inordinate number of catcher inferences this season.

356
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: I don't know why. I don't know.

357
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: I personally think we have to make a change to

358
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: that rule. And it's not because of what happened to Alvarez,

359
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: but just around in baseball, it is stupid that the

360
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: batter gets rewarded for theoretically taking a bad swing, because

361
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: you can do catcher's interference every single swing. If you

362
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: want to take a late swing, swing backwards, hits the glove,

363
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: there's no penalty for the hitter. As long as you

364
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: make contact with that glove. You were getting awarded first

365
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: base no matter what on the swing. So there's got

366
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: to be some way to change. I don't think Henry

367
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: Davis is doing that on purpose. I think he just

368
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: got blown up on a fastball that he was laid

369
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: on and Alvas was trying to be quick with it

370
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: and frame it, and that's part of it. Too, people

371
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: trying to steal as many inches as possible, the catchers

372
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: being more aggressive, catching more out front. But yeah, he

373
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: went down in that one. I actually thought he was

374
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: gonna come out of the game. I was like, oh no.

375
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: And then rounding first on one of the plays.

376
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: Even before this though, that same game, the game against

377
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: the Pirates, Twitter loved it. But Alvis stalls second base,

378
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: and immediately Keith went, oh hey when he slides head first,

379
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: because you saw it, and he slid and he hit

380
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: the thumb and the wrist, everything bent back on the

381
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: base and you're like, oh no, I'll see that. Yeah,

382
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: they're good, can see that. So then now all that

383
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: comes together and then, like you were just saying about

384
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 3: to say, he rounds first hard, he slips. He picks

385
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: himself up with that hand. I think it's the right

386
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, is the left hand.

387
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: Gets the right hand had left handed left hand.

388
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: Is probably worse the throwing hand. Yeah, god, damn, this sucks.

389
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: Just picks himself up with he's really riding and pain

390
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: he puts on the little mit. He winds up coming

391
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: around to score after the Hustle double, which wasn't that

392
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: big run to score and then now he's he the

393
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: reporting round. This made me really upset too. He goes

394
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: all the student. Mendoza comes out of after the game, refreshing,

395
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: coming after from a buck being a smug asshole the

396
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: last few years, and like this is really bad. He

397
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: looked like he was really in pain. I'm like, I'm

398
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: not excited about this. It was like, Okay, I think

399
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: the real breath of fresh air for Coss Mendoza being

400
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: really genuine. So far in these pressers, he's been doing

401
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: it a lot.

402
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

403
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just because he's green, the team's playing well

404
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: that we love it. Maybe he's gonna start being less

405
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: contrite if the team starts not playing well or pr

406
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: is like, hey, you can't just start saying these things, dude,

407
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: because who knows. Then you get it, like a day

408
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: after the a little while after the game, they're like, oh,

409
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: Justine Sprain, we're good. No structural damage. He's gonna avoid surgery.

410
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: Everyone just tweeted that, and then Anthony Decomo right after

411
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: again not jumping around a little bit. The great feelings

412
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: after the big shutdown win on Saturday, the night as

413
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: the Knicks were pushing through the second half bang breaking

414
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: Newsisco offers, torn you seel on the stump six to

415
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: eight weeks.

416
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Fuck, like, damn it, why can't we have anything? We

417
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: can't just have can't have anything nice in this world? Yeah,

418
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: that that is a blow because while Francisco Alvarez has

419
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: not hit really consistently yet this year, he is just

420
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: so much better than Almar Nerviez. And we know the

421
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: impact that he's made defensively for this team and especially

422
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: with the pitching staff. You can see that. And now

423
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: that means Thomas Nedo comes up to the team. And

424
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: as much as we love the Needo King, I mean,

425
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: the guy swings the world's heaviest bat like I don't

426
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: know what it is, but that bat's got a weigh

427
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: five hundred pounds.

428
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 3: I mean again, we say that and jo and that

429
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: we're just jumping around at having some fun. But as

430
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: bad as Novius's defensively, Nito is not. Needo's awesome defensively,

431
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 3: always has been, always will but he's throughout them as

432
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: first base runner of the season on Sunday, which was

433
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 3: hilariously Will Smith, that's a that's a really heat check

434
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 3: by teams playing the Mets trying to steal a bag.

435
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: So thank God for that one. But I don't know,

436
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: it's just it sucks that now with especially that lineup

437
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 3: on side also did still didn't have Brett Baity in it.

438
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: And then I know, right now Harrison Bather is Willie Mays,

439
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: but like eventually he won't be anymore, He'll be harrisonually again,

440
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: goed back to Harrison Bader, So eventually if he's Harrison

441
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 3: Bather again, and then either almost neither on my advisor

442
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 3: hitting night two, like this lineup has just suddenly lost

443
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 3: a ton of punch.

444
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely, it's a little bit scary.

445
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: But Game two, they came out, they started swinging again,

446
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: Lindor at that lefty swing, getting an RBI in the first,

447
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: which felt really good. Rare time that we've been able

448
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: to take early leads, and especially against the Dodgers, is

449
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: nice to just kind of have their backs up against

450
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: the wall. And what felt like was going to be

451
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: a chaos game because Gavin Stone couldn't throw any strikes

452
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: was walking everybody. Jose Buddo couldn't throw any shrikes, was

453
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: walking everybody. I feel like there was four or five

454
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: opportunities in the first three innings between both of these

455
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: teams where they had bases loaded and it was a

456
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: one nothing game the Dodgers.

457
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 3: Keith said it as who said, Gary said right? Someone

458
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 3: said during Sunday when the Dodgers had basis loaders for

459
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 3: like the second time of the game, already in the

460
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 3: fourth inning, they were like, it's gotta be a fifth

461
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: or six times Dodgers had basis low and the last

462
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 3: twelve innings and they really I think it was it

463
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: was true, but Bulo tried so hard and in terms

464
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: of what it could have been, it really wasn't that bad.

465
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: Like there was a lot of moments where he was

466
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: super nails to do it. And similar to what we

467
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 3: talked about, he was all over placed against the big

468
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: guys because I think Heffner was just like we're not

469
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: letting them beat us, Like just get tough in the

470
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: at bats against Will Smith, oskar Hanand's, James Altman, Andy Paies,

471
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: and like we'll just get through those guys and we'll

472
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: we'll only give up maybe one or two runs, but

473
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: like at least we won't get these games busted open

474
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 3: like wounds up happening on Sunday and that first inning

475
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: I think was a really good microcosm of that for

476
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 3: a boo though, because he did load the bases and

477
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: a run may have come in No, I don't remember

478
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 3: from came in the first inning, but he got the

479
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: two Basi's lowest strikeouts of Altman and Pajes, and that

480
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: Pies at bat was like one of my favorite bats

481
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 3: I think I've watched in baseball so far this first

482
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: month of year. It was awesome. It was just between

483
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: a good young pitcher and a good young hitter was

484
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 3: just making his first week in the major leagues. Pie

485
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: is a good player. I'm putting the stamp on for Pies.

486
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 3: He could do a lot of things well. I don't

487
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 3: think he's ever going to be a star defense, base running,

488
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: good at bats and power speed like good arm. He's

489
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: like he's he's just someone who you want to come

490
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: up and have on your team for free, like he's

491
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: a good ball player. But the sequencing was just so

492
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 3: pretty on this at bat. Basis low with it, some walks,

493
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: two outs, sweeper for strike one just dropped it in there,

494
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 3: really nice pitch. Then next pitch sweeper down just below

495
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 3: the zone. Pie has gave a little flinch on it,

496
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 3: no chase, Okay, nice. Then he beats him upstairs ninety

497
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: five middle high, and then he throws in about sat

498
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: like same spot on the plate but three inches higher,

499
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: ninety six. No chase. They're like, okay, we got two

500
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: strikes on him, but he didn't take that each other.

501
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: So then was Boodo doo goes to the bread and butter,

502
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 3: Change up, blowing the zone. Foul tip. Beat me again,

503
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 3: change up, blowing the zone. Another foul tip. Like, all right,

504
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 3: step off, look at the batter to the little time out.

505
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: This is really nice. That bad They threw a sweeper

506
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: bad miss too too, and they just threw a ninety

507
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 3: six fastball in the zone nine beat him, got out

508
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: of the inning. I was just like that was that

509
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: bat where like that's That's not a picture who was scared.

510
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: That is a picture with a plan. That's someone who

511
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: was ready to execute. And just think he's stronger willed

512
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: than the guy at the play and that's how he

513
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: got through that inning.

514
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jose Buddo's got balls. I think the nature's anything

515
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: to note he has got some fucking balls on him

516
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: when he's pitching. Gotta love that, especially when we've seen

517
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: pictures on this Mets team that don't have balls and

518
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: like to nibble and don't like to attack batters, and

519
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: it's infuriating as a fan to watch, especially like jose Bus,

520
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: like I got good stuff, like go ahead and try

521
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: and hit it.

522
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 2: Beat me.

523
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: What I also thought, again going back to this brand

524
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: Nimo Mookie Betts podcast, he talked about that sometimes the

525
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: fans don't know what's going on on the field, and

526
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't like in a bad way. He was like,

527
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: you might see someone drop down a sacrifice spun. It

528
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: might be because he doesn't feel comfortable with the guy

529
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: but at the plate, but that the mentality of the

530
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: team is we're going to do the things that we

531
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: think are the best to win. Mendozo's like, what Mendoza says,

532
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: whatever you think is going to help this team win more,

533
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: I'm fine with you doing it. And I think this

534
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: pitching around Otani bets Freeman, this whole scenario thing could

535
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: also just be like the pitcher being like, this is

536
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: not necessarily the best matchup for me. I feel better

537
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: against a Taioscar Hernandez. I can strike out this guy

538
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: who strikes out forty percent of the time. Like, I

539
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: feel better than trying to challenge Freddy Freeman with two outs.

540
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: And you saw that in this game.

541
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: Again, it wasn't pretty from Jose Budo, but he battled

542
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of bulldog in him. Everybody loves to

543
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: use that term when you're talking about pictures in baseball,

544
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: but he was. He was really good. The issue was

545
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't have faced show heo Tani though in the face.

546
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: No, No, he definitely shouldn't have it. And it's just like,

547
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: I think there was a situation where we now know

548
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: that Brooks Railey's injured, so I think the Mets were

549
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: kind of a man down the bullpen, so you're like,

550
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: please just get through one more inning. And he got

551
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: Mookie Bets the inning before at the end the inning,

552
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 3: but it was a long flack ball. And it's just

553
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 3: you saw that Budo was pushing so hard in those

554
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: early innings to get through, like he was sitting ninety

555
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: five ninety six every fastball, and then it took down

556
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: to ninety four and then ninety three, and then he

557
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 3: was throwing some ninety twos back Once we got to

558
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: that fourth inning and we were like, okay, just take

559
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: him out, like take these four innings in the one

560
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: run or two runs I think it was one run whatever,

561
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 3: it was just like be okay, It's just it was

562
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: he thrown so many pitches, but I think they just

563
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 3: tried to juice that one more, which maybe that's something

564
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 3: you do in April, but not in August. It's just

565
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 3: like it might be a little bit of a player

566
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 3: development things, a little bit of try and save one

567
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: more inning at the ballpen thing, a little bit just

568
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: try and like get him back to the clubhouse with

569
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 3: like a real grin on his face instead of like

570
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: I got either. Okay, so like I'm not going to

571
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 3: falls up. But if we're just trying to spimpley, think

572
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: of this so one dimensional rum prevention the game we're playing.

573
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 3: He should have gone back out to the face with Tani.

574
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: And the third time Otani saw him, he just he

575
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 3: just lays a double on not even a bad pitch.

576
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 3: It was a slyer lowing out side, just the way

577
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 3: Thattani has those freaky arms. The things he should do

578
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: with the bad head, and just like I can't even

579
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 3: believe sometimes then he still got the out of Freeman

580
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 3: after him, and then he got no Otani's after Freeman,

581
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: he got will Smith Wade, I know Freeman's after Atani yourself,

582
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: I gotta have that one. But then he got to

583
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: Oscar and Nano's two strikes too, and then just hits

584
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: him with a sink of that got away, So like,

585
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: all right, now take him out now. It just feels

586
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: like now you're loosening here, and then talking let win

587
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: in and tie the game after that, and he's just like, damn,

588
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 3: I that one run didn't have to stay on the board.

589
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: And the time they're like, I don't know, now we

590
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: might lose this game because that decision. We would not

591
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: lose this game because that decision, because coming up not

592
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 3: long after that is the best two hitter in baseball,

593
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 3: the best two hither that this team could ever have,

594
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: Starling Marte a big home run to take the lead.

595
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 2: We got to apologize.

596
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: We own an apology to Mets fans, to listeners to Starling Marte,

597
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: Carlos Mendez, and David Starr. Turns was not familiar with

598
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: her games. Starling Marte. I forgot I mean saw you

599
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: play last year for a month. I was like, holy shit,

600
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: we're so fucked, and then forgot how good he was

601
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, and he's been phenomenal ever since

602
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: they moved him to the two hole. Obviously, the offense

603
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: has been better, Lindor's been better. I don't know what

604
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: it is. I don't baseball brain tells me everything is

605
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: wrong about this, but it's working.

606
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: So I will applaud it and say, Starling Marte, well done.

607
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: I was actually recording a video live when that home

608
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: run happened. Got the live reaction in the video.

609
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 3: Nice, and also just looking at like some very basic

610
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 3: batting order's splits on Baseball reference, Marte's got a one

611
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: fifteen OPS plus two on ninety four OPS plus fifth

612
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: and sixty five OPS plus at six and that is

613
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: not that many at bats there, eighteen twenty five, forty nine,

614
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 3: but that's a huge difference. And the fact that right

615
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 3: now in the year, he has four home runs and

616
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: he's slugging the way he's slugging. And something else I

617
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 3: like about what Marte is doing right now is he

618
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: seems like he's just taking more pitches. He's getting deeper

619
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: into these counts, which we said was the biggest thing

620
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 3: for him. The two biggest threasons we said we didn't

621
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: want him hitting second where he doesn't really get deep

622
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 3: into counts and he doesn't have enough power, you know what,

623
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: deep in accounts, and he has tons of power.

624
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: So this is frank you guys, you don't know me.

625
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: I love being proved wrong. Let's played that well because

626
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: of it, and Marte Fair I think the second or

627
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: third time this week one that's a baseball.

628
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: Game, yep.

629
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: And also love love love that Carlos Bendoza went to

630
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz in a non safe situation in the eighth

631
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: inning to face the best players and best hitters on

632
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: this team. Just love love when I see smart baseball

633
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: like that, It's just so good. And especially when you

634
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: have the second best closer in baseball, Read Garrett, going

635
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: behind him to get his first save of his career,

636
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: you don't even have to worry about that anymore.

637
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 3: That's the key for it, because when you now have

638
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 3: another guy in his ball playing I'm we're here. We've

639
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 3: been here for like two weeks. All my data nerds

640
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 3: on Twitter get behind it too. Everybody is starting to

641
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 3: ride the Red Garrett train. My guy TJ Stats Thomas

642
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: nest Too says, what.

643
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: Is he on a fantasy baseball team out of yours.

644
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: He is in the process of a waiverclaim pickup right now.

645
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 3: I hope no one's listening because it's a saves and

646
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: holds league and my cousin I talk fantasy with a lot.

647
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 3: We talked about he picked him up in the deep

648
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: saves in whole league last week, and this week he

649
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: got to save and a win at Ree Garrett. So

650
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: you huge for the categories early in the season. We

651
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 3: love seeing that. But Rigarrett did the thing again, guys again.

652
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 3: I did a tweet abat that I got that did

653
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: really well on Saturday night while I was in the

654
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: middle of the night watching the Knicks in bed, trying

655
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: to get the Regarret tweet because I was like, this

656
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 3: is my content. I need to get this out. The

657
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: guys should doesn't throw fastballs and it's it's I don't know,

658
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 3: I don't doubt that this can last, but I don't

659
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: know how far the Mets are going to push it

660
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 3: until teams really start to sit. But you can't. You

661
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: can't really sit splither. Can has anyone sat splither before?

662
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: But as I don't know either. And then because then

663
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: he drops the sliders after it that actually get the

664
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: calls strikes. It's so bizarre how he's pitching. I can't

665
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: wait to like really be back in America and like

666
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: watching these games significantly more intently. And I'm watching them

667
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: now just to see this. But on Saturday, one fastball,

668
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: one sinker. On Friday, one fastball, four sinkers. On last Tuesday,

669
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 3: two fastballs, too sinkers, Last Friday, one fastball, zero sinkers.

670
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: He just doesn't throw fastballs anymore. It's all two slider

671
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: variations and splithers, and the splizers are never in the

672
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: strike zone. Pillers keep chasing them because I don't know

673
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: how you can't chase that splither. It looks like a

674
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: strike ninety percent away and it totally falls out. He's

675
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: doing things right now that nobody else in the league

676
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: is doing this is this is unique psycho shit. We

677
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: saw Matt Whistler try this a few years ago. Matt

678
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: Wilson is one of my favorite LEAs ever because he

679
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: would just throw ninety percent slideres.

680
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: But even Judas, yeah.

681
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 3: Jacob Jus did this actually as as like a glue

682
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 3: guy for the Giants last year, where he was throwing

683
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 3: like seventy percent slides. But this is like, this is

684
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 3: even crazier. Like he's having these Tuesday thirty one pitches.

685
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 3: They're only four fastballs. I guess that's kind of the

686
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 3: same percentage as the two of the thirteen and one fifteen.

687
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 3: But the fact that he's mixing two fastball variations, neither

688
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: of them are getting above seven percent usage in any

689
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 3: individual outing since the first few of the season. It's

690
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 3: so rare, it's so unique. I'm wonder if we're going

691
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: to see more copycats. I would love to hear Mets

692
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 3: people talk about this, but Jeremy Halfner, I never want

693
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 3: to speak to the media, so it's okay. I just yeah,

694
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 3: this whole thing is so fucking cool and it makes

695
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: me feel like such a geek and such a nerd.

696
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 3: But the fact that we right now as Mets, as

697
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: the Mets, we have the pop up believer in April. Guys,

698
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: we're the team doing it. We have the guy everyone's

699
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: talking about, and he really, truthfully is good.

700
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been phenomenal. Shout out David Stearns for keeping

701
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: him around.

702
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: He was here last year.

703
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: Don't know what happened why it didn't work last year,

704
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: but he's here now and I'm glad it is.

705
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 2: So that was good. Mets get the win, win the series.

706
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: Again, wasn't a pretty game, but a good win all

707
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: in all at the end for the Mets to take

708
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: the series against the Dodgers, which when we started the

709
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: year zero to five, to take another series from the

710
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers Sunday, you're playing with house money at that point,

711
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 1: and to be fair, it was gone pretty quickly. Adrian

712
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: Houser got in trouble, gave up Shoeo Tani's one hundred

713
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: and seventy sixth home run of his career, the most

714
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: ever by a Japanese born player, so he passed the

715
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: Decie Matsu. We had significantly less games, I think five

716
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: hundred less games than the Dekie Mats sue he did

717
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: that in shoe Tani is a freak. I don't know

718
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: if we'll ever actually fully appreciate how insanely good this

719
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: guy is as a baseball player. Again, I read that

720
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: sat out to you guys before the series last time.

721
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: He was hitting like four forty coming into the series

722
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: without runners in scoring position, and he was like one

723
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: for twenty five with them. So he's just he's unbelievable.

724
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: Adrian Hauser just got shelled. This is what we've known

725
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: about Adrian Hauser is that against the bad teams, he's

726
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: gonna look like Greg Maddox. Against the good teams, he's

727
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: gonna look like Adrian Hauser. Like that's just how it is.

728
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: I want to give Adrian how some credit because we

729
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 3: got to win this game, and it was it was

730
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: two nothing Dodgers, and like the Dodgers moved the schedule

731
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: around after we ended the recording and it was Tyler

732
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: Glass now against Adrian Houser instead James Paxon against Ageab

733
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: Adrian Hauser. That's really different for the Mets and for

734
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: Adrian Hauser. Like you guys got the up closing personal

735
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 3: look at Tyler glassnow for as long as you decide.

736
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: To keep the game on.

737
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: If you weren't watching the Rangers, let's go Rangers. He's

738
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: so good, he's made a pitching lab like he is,

739
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: like everything is perfect. He's now gone. I think back

740
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: to back starts where he's gone to through eight innings

741
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: with less than one hundred pitches. I got two hundred

742
00:29:59,160 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: one pitches today.

743
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: Turn it off.

744
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: But it's just freak of nature. It would be very

745
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: Dodger's too for Tyler glass out to get there and

746
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: have his first like two hundred thing healthy season. But

747
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: it's just this was the game you weren't really going

748
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: to win. To show how weird this game was for

749
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: the Mets.

750
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: Smart.

751
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: Who do you think had the hardest hit ball for

752
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: the Mets? Yeah?

753
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's gotta be someone weird. Uh Tomas Nito, Yep,

754
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: nailed it.

755
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: Yes? Was it a line drive to centerfield?

756
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: One hundred four? I mean line driving the books, Let's

757
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: see what actually was because I think a single?

758
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: Oh single, you got a hit on it?

759
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: Okay, because thirteen degree launch angle on the eighth inning.

760
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: I was driving back from Long Island. I went to

761
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: go visit my Pokemon streamer friends. Shout out Josh and Elliott.

762
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: They got a retro video games store out in Long Island.

763
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: If you want to check it out Retro Island, go give.

764
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: It a look.

765
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: But I was listening to the game on the radio.

766
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: First time I've been hearing the game on the radio.

767
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: Shout out Keith radshed out Pat McCarthy. I wasn't familiar

768
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: with your guys work. I just don't listen to the radio.

769
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: We're friendly, but I've never really listened. You guys are great.

770
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: You're awesome. And Pat McCarthy and particularly had a hilarious

771
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: moment where I don't remember exactly what inning it was.

772
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: It was kind of I think during the blow up

773
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: with the matter, maybe even the fourth inning after Otani

774
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: hit the home run, foul ball gets hit back into

775
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: the press area where they are and he's announcing. He's like, oh,

776
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: foul ball going right over my head. And then you

777
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: hear bang and smash and he's like, oh god, ah.

778
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: He's like, the ball just hit me in the chest.

779
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: He's like, it just hit my computer, broke my laptop,

780
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: the laptop completely white screen, hit him in the chest.

781
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: He missed it. Keith rad check it out. He's like,

782
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: are you okay? He's like, are you good?

783
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: Like I'm genuinely concerned about your well being right now.

784
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: That thing was hit hard. He was more embarrassed that

785
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: I didn't make the play. Very funny moment.

786
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: The one time I listened to the radio, I get

787
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: I get some good some good content going on there.

788
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a sneaky all time radio moment. Pat

789
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: McCarthy was tweeting back an after he was like, I'm

790
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: waiting my whole career for this, and I messed it up.

791
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: I messed it up.

792
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: He was so upset. He was so he was like,

793
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: I can't believe I didn't catch that ball, And.

794
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: Now would you do that? You're just in California for

795
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: another couple of days doing games. You just don't have

796
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: a computer, he was saying.

797
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, gotta let people know I'm not

798
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna be able to give them updates, like I can't.

799
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: I can't really do any work right now, besides when

800
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: I actually call the game to be fair. If there

801
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: was ever a place to be able to go get

802
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: a computer fixed, probably California is one of the better ones.

803
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: Just the fact that there's a million tech people out there.

804
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's some runoff that company failed and

805
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: they're like fixing computers now that they could do that

806
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: for him.

807
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 3: This funniest too. When we started this podcast, I was

808
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: of course on like a six week long weird solo

809
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: trip where I was going through like the southeast, the Southwest. Yeah, literally,

810
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: march apro I love doing one of these Arizona utai

811
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: Wan up in California, And we started doing these episodes

812
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: for I like the the fifty people who are maybe

813
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: still listening to this that listen to that one. And

814
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: h I the adapter I got for the microphone. I

815
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: just bought it broken when I was on the road,

816
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: so I was like, shit, I just I ran to

817
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: a random best buy in San Diego and I got one.

818
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: I record one episode right after.

819
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: That, so I was like, turn it right back.

820
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course you can always get computer stuff in

821
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: in California. It's stupid. Also, the other stupid thing about

822
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: the game, Angel Hernandez, he's just he's just he's I

823
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: got so bad.

824
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: It's funny now because Angel Hernandez, I think for a

825
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: while everybody knew was bad, and then like Twitter came

826
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: along and everyone on Twitter really blows up every time

827
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: Angel Hernandez is bad, which is pretty much every single

828
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: time he's behind no hi plate, even at first base,

829
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: whatever he does. He's terrible at his job. But now

830
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: even the announcers on TV on the radio, they are

831
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: just taking shots at Angel Hernandez every single chance they get.

832
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: And I love it because this guy tried to play

833
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: like the racist card about why he doesn't get the

834
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: World Series games.

835
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: He was like, it's because I'm Latino.

836
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: They're like, there are plenty of other people of minority

837
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: races that get into these World Series games.

838
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: You're just fucking bad at your job, dude.

839
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: Terrible at man. He just has such a brash arrogance

840
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: about being bad his job, which seems like he enjoys

841
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 3: making these calls. If there was an agent, and again,

842
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 3: it didn't matter. Of course, we're not baally Sports. We're

843
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: not gonna complain about miss miss strikes in the game

844
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: digit runs, We're okay with it. But if it has

845
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 3: your pitch right down the middle it calls the ball,

846
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, thanks, Angel, we'll get you next time.

847
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: But I think that's it for this serious. The other well,

848
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 3: I got one thing.

849
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: What I don't know if you caught this, but did

850
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: you hatch the intro to Gavin Stone's outing on S

851
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: and Y.

852
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Gary, yeah, little stony Gary.

853
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was awesome.

854
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: He was like, uh, how appropriate, perfect fit that Gavin

855
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: Stone is making an appearance on April twentieth, today, the

856
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: Angels Dodgers.

857
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: You had one lay in the game of SNY tweeted

858
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 3: that that was like a lot of free passes in

859
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: this game, so extra time for you guys at home

860
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: to get some more snacks if you're watching it.

861
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: I like that.

862
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gary define used to be a bit of a

863
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: hip you guys see the picture of s Y puts

864
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: it up like every year used to I don't know

865
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: what music used to listen to it that hair, but

866
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 3: it was definitely something crazy New York guy Columbia Ivy

867
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: League like he was definitely doing some doing some hallucinagenics

868
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 3: up there in Harlem. But it was funny. Hear and

869
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 3: Gary get into the four twenty humor. And last year

870
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: the Mets were also in LA on four twenty because

871
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: I was there. I remember I was at the game.

872
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: Did it?

873
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: I was sure they got ejected. Think about how long

874
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 3: ago that that was?

875
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: Four twenty? Was that on?

876
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: For I was four nineteen, I believe, Okay, that was

877
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 3: the same series. And that was also when Brett Baidy

878
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: got called back up to the team, which is bizarre.

879
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: It was like a million years ago. Last year is

880
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: such a blur to me. I don't ever want to

881
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: think about it again.

882
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: All right, So sorry for mind you, but last thing

883
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: baseball talk before we get into this week's medium Marvel

884
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: Andy Martino. JJ Martinez gets to go into the field

885
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: for Saint Lucy, got two hits the soft return day.

886
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 3: People are throwing at their little breadcrumbs Friday, which also

887
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: happens to be my return to City Field. James's back,

888
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 3: James D. Martinez gonna be back in City Field on

889
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: next Friday night. But it's gotta be hilarious for JD.

890
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 3: Martinez to go play a game in Saint Lucy, like

891
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: that low way has to feel like Beer League Softball.

892
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 3: For JJ Martinez. You just take some swings, chop the

893
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 3: first base, like hang out.

894
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 2: A couple guys throwing like ninety five, but they don't

895
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: know where it's going.

896
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: He's like, all right, good, look, all right, guys, I'm

897
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: thirty one hundred guys. So here's a single for you.

898
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then, oh, you know what.

899
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: He might be back just in time for the Mets

900
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: City Connect debut, which, of course, if you guys saw

901
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter and all social media the Mets released their

902
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: City Connect jerseys.

903
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: They were the leaks. They looked just like it.

904
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: I made it TikTok and the Instagram and a YouTube

905
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: short on it. So I'm not necessarily gonna get my opinion,

906
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: but I haven't got a chance to hear yours. James,

907
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: we know I like it. What do you think about them?

908
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 3: I think they're totally fine. I've been critical of the

909
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 3: city connects, I think on this podcast and just to

910
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 3: you behind the scenes, I'm very old man. Sometimes my

911
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: baseball takes, my schedule takes, my jersey takes, just like

912
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: sometimes simpler is better. And I applaud the Mets for

913
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: not doing too much an organization internally that a lot

914
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 3: of times really tries to do too much. Very proud

915
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: of them for showing restraint and not making this like

916
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 3: a color explosion of purple and orange together. And like

917
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 3: the only thing is funny to me about this stuff

918
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 3: is that when you have to release like an explainer

919
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: with like size fourteen font about why this jersey's cool,

920
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 3: sometimes just isn't that cool Because of that.

921
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: I like to say, every team does that. That definitely

922
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 2: might just be like a hole.

923
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: I won't take the shot at the Mets for that

924
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: because every team does it, but yeah, it definitely like

925
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: makes it a little less cool and you have to

926
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: explain like the reasoning behind things.

927
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 2: It's not obvious.

928
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know they were like great for concrete, for

929
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: the city that we of it. It's like, okay, well,

930
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 3: great for concrete, I get it. Good one great. A

931
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 3: little more purple would have been nice. A lot of

932
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 3: people love the hats. I think the hat's kind of

933
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: stink that the hat sucks.

934
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 2: I think that the worst part. That hat's horrible. It's

935
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: queens Bridge. I don't want that.

936
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 3: Looks so dumb. There's no color in the heat all.

937
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: It's just a gray hat with a little purple thing

938
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: on top. Like the ny would have been purple. Take

939
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 3: away the bridge, give me a skyline like the old

940
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 3: fucking That's jersey. And a lot of people didn't like

941
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: the NYC. They wanted the queens. I'm fine with either

942
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: of those. I'm in partially either way.

943
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: I got a hot take why they didn't put queens

944
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: on the front of it. There should just be some

945
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: guys who are like I don't. I would love to

946
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: not wear a jersey.

947
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 2: That says queens. I'm a man, I'm not a queen

948
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: like I can see that being a thing.

949
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 3: Also, just like I'm from Brooklyn, I don't want queens

950
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 3: on my jersey.

951
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: But also you have to keep in mind the Yankees

952
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: are not getting City connect jerseys. So this is the

953
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: only New York City City Connect Jersey. Had the Yankees

954
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: gotten one, I think there's a chance that has Queens

955
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: or Flushing or something more. Yeah, probably Queens rather than

956
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: just New York City. But this is the only New

957
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: York City Connect Jersey.

958
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: And then just something else I'm really proud of the

959
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 3: Mets for doing is the white pants. We've seen so

960
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 3: many teams I've talked about this specifically go monochromatic head

961
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 3: to toe, the Rockies going green ups, green downs, the

962
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: Dodgers going blue head to toe. It's bad, it looks

963
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 3: really bad. So really happy that the Mets did this,

964
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 3: Like blue the Phillies out of the water just probably

965
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 3: released the worts uniform any sports team has ever will

966
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 3: ever wear in the history of organized sport, like going

967
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: back to the days of the Romans and stuff. So

968
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 3: it's just I think that the Mets did totally fine,

969
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: which in terms of the Connects is really good. But

970
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 3: also I just I just to pleat the Major League

971
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 3: Baseball Can we just wear some of the old school

972
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 3: jerseys more like we should have weeks every single season

973
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: where the Mets have the series against the Cardinals and

974
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 3: we're rocking seventies eighties uniforms. The Mets are playing the Cubs,

975
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: We're in eighties uniforms, you know what I mean. Like

976
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 3: we're going we're playing the Phillies, We're in the nineties uniforms.

977
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: Like we should have rivalry weeks in the old uniforms,

978
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: Like all teams should do this, Like I'd love to

979
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: see the Yankees in the A's Play series. I mean,

980
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 3: the Yankees. Every uniform is the same, so maybe they're

981
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 3: not the best example for this, but make them were

982
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: the Burlapsack again, like yeah, sure? Or when the when

983
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 3: the Diamondbags headed to play the Yankees like they were

984
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 3: the two thousand and one Purples like they like, like

985
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 3: I love to I'd love to see the Rockies break

986
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 3: the vest back out, like just these old school jerseys

987
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 3: are so much better than anything anyone's come up with

988
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 3: in the last twenty five years. We should you guys

989
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 3: should really lean into that because people will buy them.

990
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 3: People buy them all the time from China, and they

991
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: spend tons of they spend no money to do it.

992
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: Well, it's the stupid Major League Baseball rules where you

993
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: can only have four jerseys for the season. And I

994
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: don't understand, ever, why leagues limit that, because all you're

995
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: doing is limiting money that can be made. Like you said,

996
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: the Mets, where you're I guess it was twenty sixteen,

997
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: they wore the eighty six jerseys on Sundays.

998
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: I love that.

999
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: I love the yanky six jersey. Look when you sprinkle

1000
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: it in on certain dates. Like you said, bring back

1001
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: the old school, look the ninety jersey. The black jersey

1002
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: obviously looks great. You know what jersey I wish they

1003
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: would bring back that I think they really only wore

1004
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: once or twice was the nine to eleven white No

1005
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: Pin trench New York across the front Hobby Bias Lindor Era.

1006
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: That jersey's like one of the best jersey the Mets

1007
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: I've ever had. You can't get it anywhere. I wish

1008
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: they would sell it. Why is major League Baseball so

1009
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: scared to make more money?

1010
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 3: I don't know. And we know this year they're cutting.

1011
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 3: They've saved a lot of money on jersey preparation, so

1012
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 3: I think we can we have more in the bank aoun,

1013
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 3: but we can offer teams a fifth one for this season.

1014
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 3: But it's enough Jersey Talk baseball soff now we've got

1015
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 3: to get to, you know, everyone's favorite news segment of

1016
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 3: this show. We've had some people drop some names on there.

1017
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 3: If someone does get one that sticks, we again, man,

1018
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: men of our work, we will send you Jose Boo

1019
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 3: the autograph card. But it's media marvels right now. I

1020
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 3: love the idea of branding this either for buster or only,

1021
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: or for this week's for this week's participants, just because

1022
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,959
Speaker 3: I'd like to keep someone's name, like really take shots

1023
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 3: to someone over and over again. Only fans only scams

1024
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 3: are two of the ones I like so far. I

1025
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 3: think I even just like the term busted. But then

1026
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 3: there's no media tournam in it. But just for now,

1027
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 3: still media marvels. This week it goes to the one,

1028
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: the only, the person that this really is about, Like

1029
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 3: we hate Buster only. The Buster only is kind of

1030
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 3: like when when you're with your girlfriend and the really

1031
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 3: hot girl walks by. I'm talking about that meme everyone's

1032
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 3: seeing you turn your head and you look, but this

1033
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 3: is the one that you're always with, the one that

1034
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 3: you always remember is being probably one of the worst

1035
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 3: people for the New York Mets ever. In media is

1036
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: none other than Andy Martino. He dropped possibly his magnus

1037
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 3: opus this weekend Friday afternoon.

1038
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: I believe. Yeah. I don't know. If you have the

1039
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: exact tweet pulled up, maybe you can read it more.

1040
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 3: That's coming.

1041
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: It's but he was taking shots at the rally pimp,

1042
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: Max Wiener, the rally pimp.

1043
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: Everybody knows them.

1044
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: You've seen the guy with the crazy hair, dressing up wild.

1045
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: It's up like a pimp for the games. Andy Martino

1046
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: said this, what do you say?

1047
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 3: Andy Martino cooling a Mets merized tweet, which again amazing

1048
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: for them because this tweet went yeah great, and they've

1049
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 3: been doing a lot of rally pimp stuff going on.

1050
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 3: He was on their podcast, he was on he was

1051
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 3: on Barstool's podcast. Like, maxw just seems like a dope guy.

1052
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 3: I'd love to I want to do like awkward podcast

1053
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 3: shit with him. I'd love to like get really drunk

1054
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 3: with him in the game. I think that'd be fun.

1055
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 3: He's like a twenty four year old Mets fan who's

1056
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 3: trying to stand up calmly. He lives in the East Village.

1057
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 3: Kind of feels like our vibe. But Andy Martino tweets

1058
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 3: this quoteweet the picture of this twenty four year old

1059
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: who's been an inspiration to Mets fans so far earlier

1060
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: this season. Pimp imagery is problematic on so many levels.

1061
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 3: Let's think about it for two seconds. Can we please

1062
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 3: not make this a big part of the twenty twenty

1063
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 3: four Mets imagery? Cue the cue, the replies about woke culture,

1064
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 3: blah blah.

1065
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 2: I don't care.

1066
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 3: I'm right about this. Why would you not want this?

1067
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 3: Say I don't want to make this big part of

1068
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 3: the imagery? All you did, any Martinez, You just guarantee

1069
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 3: this be the biggest part of the Mets imagery for

1070
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 3: as long as Max wants this to be. And you

1071
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 3: are so dense, you're so annoying, You're such a little

1072
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: effeck and grambling and weasel. I just can't stand Jay. Motherfucker.

1073
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 2: Well, he's a Philly fucking rat.

1074
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: That's why Andy Martinez from Phillies, and he's another There's

1075
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 1: so many sleeper cells in this fucking organization between Andy

1076
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: Martino and Michael Tonkin and I don't know, eddrancy Rte

1077
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: played some games for this team, the original rat bastard

1078
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: like sleeper cells. I'm tired of them, Andy Martino being

1079
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: one of them. Did you see Max's TikTok Instagram reel

1080
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: that he made in reply to this, He was like,

1081
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: here are some other ideas instead of being a rally

1082
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: pimp at the game. Incredible, He's like rally Ebenezer Scrooge. Yeah,

1083
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: dressed up in the pajamas and everything with the candle.

1084
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: I was like, if he starts pulling those out, I mean,

1085
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: it's almost gouldna be a reason to go to the game,

1086
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: because you know, you can buy upper deck seats for

1087
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: like five bucks.

1088
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I want I want him up.

1089
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 3: I'll be like, I want to watch game with you.

1090
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 3: My kimono, Like you got a kimono, Like, let's have fun,

1091
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 3: Like I'll rally kimonos.

1092
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: I'll wear I have the Giraft mask, I'll wear the

1093
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 2: draft mask for the game.

1094
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: That's what it would be. James goes kimono, I'll go

1095
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: draft mask, he goes rally pimp. We watch for a

1096
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: game and get hammered exactly.

1097
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: So much about the like city Field right now has

1098
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 3: become like very exclusive, like oh we have lobster bisc

1099
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 3: on a burger, like no, I just want to get

1100
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 3: drunk and have some fun. But also like Maximiner didn't

1101
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 3: call himself rally pimp everybody else like s and why

1102
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 3: mess Maras? They kept they kept putting his name on

1103
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 3: him and he just like looked like a pimp because

1104
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 3: he had the crazy hair and the big jacket. But

1105
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 3: this kind of got Mark and I think, and also

1106
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 3: there was there was just some great replies. Jerry Blevins

1107
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 3: ratioed him our boy Jordan ratioed him a legendary ratio

1108
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 3: at one point five thousand, fifteen hundred replies and six

1109
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 3: hundred quote tweets on this tweet on sweet Manny Martina

1110
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 3: one of the best ratios I've ever seen on Twitter,

1111
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 3: and going back aways there so bad. But this really

1112
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 3: got was thinking about Andy Martino and like he he

1113
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 3: kind of deserves to take some shift for a lot

1114
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: of horrible things he said, Mark, I know this is

1115
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 3: a fight that's near and dear to you, but all

1116
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: the horrible things he said over the years, you're you

1117
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 3: being blocked by him, especially.

1118
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: So just not blocked, not blocked, not blocked, not blocked.

1119
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: That's the one thing he hasn't done. The coward John

1120
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: Hayman has me blocked. Andy Martino, that's the only thing

1121
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: I'll give him, has not blocked me.

1122
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 3: So take our listeners down memory lane some of the

1123
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 3: things that Andy Martinez said through the year. It's just

1124
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 3: to remind people about what his takes are normally.

1125
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: Like, all right, let's start off with a hot one.

1126
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: Let's go with I don't know an article he wrote

1127
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen for the New York Daily News. And

1128
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: here's the headline, New York Mets Jacob de gram hold

1129
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: On gets the hype, but Yankees Michael Pineda is even better.

1130
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: And you go, oh no, no, he's not. What a

1131
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: bad take stick to report. This is where I don't

1132
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: like Andy Martino. This actually is exactly why, because there's

1133
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: a difference between reporting and giving your opinion. Hey, Andy,

1134
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: no one gives a fuck about your opinion. You don't

1135
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: know ball, I don't want to hear, hear what you

1136
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: have to say. Report the news. And that's where he

1137
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: gets all sort of screwed up, is when he starts

1138
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: to give his own opinion or what he thinks is

1139
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: going to happen. Some other tweets of Andy Martinez This

1140
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: is a reply that I had to a tweet of

1141
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: his from last or two seasons ago. Wow twenty twenty two,

1142
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: July seventeenth, he said, would you deal Francisco Alvarez, Mark

1143
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: Viento's Brett Beaty and more for Juan Soto?

1144
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 2: Love him? The answer is yes.

1145
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: Early word is national ce Mets and Yankees as a

1146
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: fit would begin with asks like the above. Two days later,

1147
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: he's on sn Y on TV talking and he goes,

1148
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: people involved are not seeing the Nationals overly willing to

1149
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: make Wan Soto a metal bike, So what was that

1150
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: fucking report you had forty eight hours ago?

1151
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 2: Like, I don't this.

1152
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: This is what sucks about modern reporting too, not to

1153
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: take to take a little bit of the shine off

1154
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: Andy Martineau. He's not the only one who does this.

1155
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: But it's just so much about names, numbers, clicks, this,

1156
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: and that it's actually not about being right at all.

1157
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: That you can put out garbage content and then two

1158
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: days later say, oh, yeah, I was wrong. Here's actually

1159
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: what's happening, and there's really no consequence for it. So

1160
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: Andy Martino, you suck.

1161
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 2: James.

1162
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: You want to take one click click around on the

1163
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: links that I threw in the dock. You can have

1164
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: some fun with this.

1165
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I've sent one to you. I'm gonna take that

1166
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 3: one first, because this is one is just as as

1167
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 3: weird than grim and bad as it gets. Andy Martino,

1168
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 3: guy who seems very very concerned with the way that

1169
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 3: things are right now, is very concerned in pimp imagery

1170
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 3: because Maxweener is definitely you know, he's pimping woman on

1171
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 3: First Avenue. He's definitely doing everything like this. He had

1172
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 3: a tweet from twenty eighteen at this point he quote

1173
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 3: tweeted himself Jose Rays on the team as reports determining

1174
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 3: how when to move on at drewel Cabrera health complicates

1175
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 3: all this emphasize will be a baseball decision. Andy Martino continues,

1176
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 3: I amo would rather have twenty eighteen Rays on this

1177
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 3: roster than Giorme if Callaway puts Rays and more positions

1178
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 3: to secede, But the team doesn't ask my opinion, and

1179
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 3: they're looking for a way to move on from the veteran.

1180
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 3: So Andy Martino doesn't like that a twenty four year

1181
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 3: old young man who's trying to be a standard comedian

1182
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 3: is dressing funny and people have called him a pimp.

1183
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 3: But Jose Reyes, who again in terms of meta great player,

1184
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 3: was pretty pretty horrible.

1185
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 2: His wife through a glass door.

1186
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So it's a weird time for Andy Beteinen

1187
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 3: to draw these lines for someone.

1188
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: That twenty eighteen Jose Reyes was so insanely bad. He

1189
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: hit one eighty nine with a five eighty ops. That

1190
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: was the guy who were like, can't believe the Mets

1191
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: are pushing him out of here.

1192
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 3: Statistically, I think one of the worst seasons we've ever

1193
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 3: seen in baseball history.

1194
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: It's really bad. It's like Hovey Baya's levels.

1195
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 3: It's like the a fifty ops plus for like three

1196
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 3: hundred plaining appearance. There's no reason you should have been

1197
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: playing baseball at that point.

1198
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.

1199
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: Here's another one from Andy Martino, just clicking around on

1200
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 1: the Google docs.

1201
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 2: He got so many tweets here. Oh, this is a

1202
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 2: good one from twenty eighteen.

1203
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: You guys remember where you were December tenth at eleven

1204
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: to fifteen PM, Because I do. I was in my door,

1205
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: or I was in my apartment at South Carolina freaking out.

1206
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: Because Andy Martino puts Noah cindregard to the Yankees is

1207
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: a real possibility. Fucking that didn't happen. I remember freaking

1208
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: out being like, what is going on? Why are we

1209
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 1: making these trades? Who is this new g that's an agent?

1210
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: What is he doing with this team?

1211
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 2: Thank god that didn't happen.

1212
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: There's also a couple other ones in there with Andy

1213
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: Martine talking about trades and what he would do and whatnot.

1214
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 2: This uh where was it going? Where? Let me find

1215
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: it real quick and click it. I've got so many

1216
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: links going here.

1217
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 3: So Brillie Van Wagon's best non JD. Davis moves, Yes,

1218
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 3: that was it.

1219
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 2: That was the one. Yeah, best non JD. Davis moves

1220
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: Cano is good. We know that wasn't the case.

1221
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: Well, Justin Wilson and Chasen Shreeve, which what two weird

1222
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: players to pick as like great guys to be big

1223
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: moves from Brodie Van Wagonon fans seemed to like start

1224
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: in the season with Alonzo last year, though I don't

1225
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: so he's admitting for some reason that he was totally

1226
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: against having Pete A Lonzo up in twenty nineteen when

1227
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: there was no other option.

1228
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 2: Pete had to be up. He had an amazing spring training.

1229
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: It would have been malpractice if pet didn't start the

1230
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: season up, don't know why he was proud of that.

1231
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: And then he goes on say, Beltron and Rojas both

1232
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: good hires. Marisnik solid, So Carls Beltron, who never managed

1233
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: a game as the Mets, one of the great hires.

1234
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: Luis Rojas's predecessor. He didn't even know at the time.

1235
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: And then Jake Moriisnik, Like, we're calling Jake Morisnik solid.

1236
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 2: When did that happen?

1237
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 3: I'll say this, how much would you like for Pilanza

1238
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 3: I have one more year team control right now to

1239
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 3: play Devil's advocates.

1240
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be great, Like that's the only reason in

1241
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: terms of actual play.

1242
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: You gotta hit fucking fifty two ruts fifty three.

1243
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 3: I absolutely realized that this this Martinez tweet was actually

1244
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 3: in reply to DJ Shorge, DJ, great guy, love love Rolo,

1245
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 3: World of the Pod. There you go, But I think

1246
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 3: there's one more here that you have where similar to

1247
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 3: Andy martinuz having some incredible foresight with pe Alonzo, it

1248
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 3: seems there seemed to be another time where he had

1249
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 3: some incredible foresight, not when he said a trusted baseball

1250
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 3: source who's worked with Jared porl, they're down to earth,

1251
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 3: great person knows his shit. That one was way wrong,

1252
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 3: that one was way off.

1253
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 2: Not a great person whatsoever.

1254
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 3: No, yeah, we don't know if you knew a shit,

1255
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 3: and it wasn't. It didn't have the job long enough.

1256
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: But there was one more you sent me that is

1257
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 3: maybe the creepiest, most sinister thing that Andy Martinez ever tweeted.

1258
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, Andy Martino, where did this tweet go? I

1259
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 2: texted it to I texted to you. Gotta go to

1260
00:49:59,239 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: the text chain here.

1261
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: But in you guys, remember Mickey Callaway, Remember how it

1262
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: was the worst kept secret in sports that he was

1263
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: like a sexual assailant. So in twenty seventeen, in October,

1264
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: it's not funny what it is, Andy Martino tweeted out,

1265
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: Mickey Calloway seems like a really good guy, but remember

1266
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: that there is a festering evil smoldering inside each and

1267
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: every one of us. Did this guy fucking know and

1268
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: he just kept it to himself? Again, best kept secret

1269
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: in baseball apparently. But if it was that, well, no,

1270
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: and again this was a problem that I had with

1271
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 1: reporting at the time too when this Callaway stuff happened.

1272
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: Bad guy, terrible, but if everybody knew about it, why

1273
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: did nobody step up and say anything, like, you guys

1274
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: are all just as responsible as the team that hired him.

1275
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 3: No, speaking of great guys, as Marcelo's just had another

1276
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 3: home run. Literally cannot believe that he's carrying the Braves

1277
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 3: right now and all.

1278
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: But the god, you know that's also so that's so

1279
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 2: annoying to him.

1280
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: That's when I a six game win streak and didn't

1281
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: gain a single game in the division because.

1282
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 2: The Phillies and Braves also had it lost.

1283
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just said, I almost this year, we

1284
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 3: almost have to pull those guys just.

1285
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 2: Like it's just like I gotta get it mad about

1286
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 2: that for a second, I know.

1287
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 3: But hey, guys, that was the media marvel this week.

1288
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 3: Get his back. If guys thinking names for that, his back,

1289
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 3: if the guys think that's a good segment. If you

1290
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 3: guys like hearing us take shots and people, usually we'll

1291
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 3: probably do a few of those in an episode. But

1292
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 3: Martino is just such a unique, enigmatic figure in the

1293
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 3: Mets universe that we had to give likes designated all

1294
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 3: this time to him this week. But that's that again,

1295
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 3: hit us up. But if you like it. If you

1296
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 3: don't like it, we don't really care. Just throw us

1297
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 3: some comments about it. But no, I mean, I mean,

1298
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 3: I mean, we don't care if you don't like it.

1299
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 3: If you don't like it, we're not gonna take it personally.

1300
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 3: And we of course we care. That's not what I meant.

1301
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 3: We'll never take it personally. Tell us that we'll change up,

1302
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 3: we'll do new things, but good. End of the episode.

1303
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 3: Now preview of the San Francisco Giant series. Staying out

1304
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 3: in Cali for the next few days. And we have

1305
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 3: some We have pitching matchups in the series, is how

1306
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 3: I'll phrase them. We have pictures.

1307
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 2: What are those pitching matchups?

1308
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 3: Monday Jose Cantana versus keat and win Tuesday, these are

1309
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,479
Speaker 3: nine to forty fives Monday and Tuesday Luisa Reno versus

1310
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 3: Logan Web actually as off actually and then Wednesday at

1311
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 3: three forty five, I've an afternoon game, nice and nice

1312
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: little nice to drive home from work game Trump and

1313
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 3: I versus Blake's now another ace off, So three ace

1314
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 3: offs this series.

1315
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: I like that.

1316
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 3: I like the lefty matchup. These all lefties too similar

1317
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 3: had last week when it was fun to see Howser

1318
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 3: versus our team. Perez just fucking just broke covers and

1319
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,720
Speaker 3: sinkers all over the place. Nice to see two lefties

1320
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 3: getting after it here, but this is gonna be an

1321
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 3: interesting series. The Giants hard team that I think is good,

1322
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 3: but I think it's not great. I think they're a

1323
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 3: team that if you want to be a wildcard contender,

1324
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 3: like we want them as to be a wildcard contender,

1325
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 3: this is a team is probably gonna be around you

1326
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 3: when September first hits. There are a few games under

1327
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 3: five hundred now. But Blake Snow has just come in

1328
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 3: and he's not been good at all so far.

1329
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: But I think it's almost like he hasn't had a

1330
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: spring training.

1331
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 3: It's weird. He's almost like he has and he's not

1332
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 3: ready for this. But I'm assume it's something that I'm

1333
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 3: assuming they will, that he will get better. Their lineup

1334
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 3: is again it's fine, but it's not great. I think

1335
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 3: it could be better, but also it could be worse.

1336
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 3: It's weird that Nick Amda is playing like most days.

1337
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 3: Matt Chapman is pretty good but also bad like he

1338
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 3: has been the last few years. That was for some

1339
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 3: reason just starts striking out a lot. He's never really

1340
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 3: done that before. Jung lu Lee coming over from Korea

1341
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 3: has been awesome so far, but not really gone to

1342
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 3: a lot of power, which is exactly the book with him.

1343
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 3: Something Mets fans are gonna like and hate this series

1344
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 3: if he didn't know it. Michael Can four, though, is

1345
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 3: fucking back. It took him like two or three years.

1346
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 3: The shoulder is good, and he's been probably their best

1347
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 3: all around player so far in the season. It's a

1348
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 3: weird team, like it's always a weird team for them.

1349
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 3: It seems like they're a team who kind of knows

1350
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 3: their backs are up against the wall, kind of have

1351
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 3: to make a playoff push this year. But a series

1352
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 3: where again, let's take two out of three again even

1353
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 3: though we're facing their two best pitchers and just keep

1354
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 3: trying to grind this thing out and get back home.

1355
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 2: For the weekend.

1356
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: Random player that you're gonna hear about this week against

1357
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: the Giants, Tyler Fitzgerald.

1358
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 2: You ever heard of that guy? No?

1359
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tyler Fitzgerald. He's actually he's a utility player. He's

1360
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: sitting two seventy three, He's got six hits and twenty

1361
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: two at bats. He's also weirdly pitched two innings for

1362
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: the Giants, so I guess he's their mop up guy

1363
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: whenever they're getting shelled. But yeah, this is you get

1364
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: to San Francisco in April. It is going to be cold,

1365
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: it is going to be windy. It is going to

1366
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: be either be the ball's gonna be flying in or

1367
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: it's gonna be flying out. It's gonna be a weird one.

1368
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: Probably a lot of low scoring games if I had

1369
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: to guess here, just because of the atmosphere in the environment.

1370
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: But this is a very, very beatable team.

1371
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: It's just Logan, Webbin, Blake stew can literally shut this

1372
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: lineup down because they are very very good pictures and

1373
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: Logan has really turned around after those first couple tough starts.

1374
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: Gotta get to Keaton win, though first game of the

1375
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: series is super important. Go ahead and get that win.

1376
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: Jump all over him.

1377
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 3: Keen Win's not that bad. He's actually had a nice

1378
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 3: start this season. I think he's like he's a pescilo

1379
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 3: pitchers they're developing out there. Happy we're missing Jordan Hicks,

1380
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 3: who they have turned into a starther and he looks

1381
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 3: ferociously filthy. Also Kyle Harrison, exciting young pitcher with a

1382
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 3: crazy left headed fastball. Missing him too. But you guys

1383
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 3: are gonna see Taylor Rodgers, who we are, Tyler Rodgers,

1384
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 3: who we all just hate, hate, hate, hate so much.

1385
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 3: Throw on some submariners. Camille Devall is amazing. If you

1386
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 3: get to a ninth inning with him, watch out.

1387
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 2: They got names on this team. I've never heard of

1388
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 2: land landon rupe route.

1389
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 3: I knew he was just looking him.

1390
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,479
Speaker 2: Eric Miller, k Way hang.

1391
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 3: Ryan Walker's fun. He's got a weird sinker slider change

1392
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 3: up thing going on. He's like their glue guy this year.

1393
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 3: He's the new Junius. Actually no, he says he's actually

1394
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 3: a traditional reliever right now. That's crazy. He was the

1395
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 3: glue guy last year. I thought he'd be the glue

1396
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 3: guy again. But he's really funky and weird. They have

1397
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 3: a d Jeffries at Dalton Jefferies.

1398
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 2: Yea Jeffries.

1399
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 3: They they they're the king of creative players. They're and

1400
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 3: again they're just throwing everything against the wall right now

1401
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 3: because I think they really have to make the playoffs.

1402
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 3: If if far jons Ady wants to keep this job,

1403
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 3: well if he misses and he gets fired waeland Sanity run.

1404
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 3: That will go down as that one one when he

1405
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 3: was unstopped. This team was unstoppable, but Crawford came back

1406
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 3: to life and bust your posey then retired. But it's

1407
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 3: just this is again a series that if you want

1408
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 3: to be a wildcard team, take two at through from

1409
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 3: these guys, because you're gonna be against them. It'll be

1410
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 3: nice to take them from them in their park early.

1411
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 2: Definitely, it's winnable.

1412
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what the series looks like again,

1413
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: if even those extra fifteen to twenty minutes earlier.

1414
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: Love that on the West Coast games.

1415
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,959
Speaker 1: Not that I'm gonna not be awake for that because

1416
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: I go to bed at three o'clock in the morning anyway,

1417
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: but it's just it's nice.

1418
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 2: It's nice to get those fifteen minutes.

1419
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm home, come back to America for the next part.

1420
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 3: So this will be my last European podcast for a

1421
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 3: little while. Maybe for a long time, but a little while.

1422
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'st one on European soil at least for a
