1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: Get up, Get up, Get up? All right, Welcome back

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: to another episode of the Mets of Podcast. Episode number

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: one twenty eight stripped the band aid off. This one's this.

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: This series was, I think, without a doubt, the worst

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: series of the year. And we've been very, very positive

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: Mets fans, and we still are. I don't think either

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: of our confidence on the team is waivered, but there's

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: no doubt that the Mets played bad this series and

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: haven't been playing as sharp.

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: As they have all year.

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: So this episode, we're gonna talk about this cub series.

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk about the games too much. We're

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna talk about more so the narrative of what's gone on,

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: because I think that's more important.

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: We can't dissect every single play.

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot the Mets didn't lead, I think,

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: for the entire series, so there's not really a whole

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: lot to dissect.

19
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: I mean, David Pearson had a rough start. Jack de

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: Ground wasn't necessarily his sharpest.

21
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: He still was good, but so great even then, it's

22
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: not worth going as deep into every game as we

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: have in the past and said, We're just gonna kind

24
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: of have a conversation over the next half hour for

25
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: five minutes. We never end up going that quick, but

26
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: maybe this will be the episode. You guys will know

Speaker 1: We do appreciate it end after a rough series. I

37
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: think we could we could use a reviewer to it

38
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: would make us feel better. But James, we're here in

39
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: the control room. We've spent the lot with each other

40
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: for two of these three games. Yeah, you were here

41
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: for all three.

42
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: It's tough. We've been here tough. Yeah, as bad as

43
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: it gets. We've been here nine hours today.

44
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: It's been a long day.

45
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean we did start off the day great, just

46
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: on some positive news and a little insight for you guys.

47
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: We still have the Mac sus or an interview that's

48
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: coming at some point once he comes off the IL,

49
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: and then we have nake Win I believe dropping later

50
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: this week, so that's gonna be really exciting Canada too.

51
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: We also talked to how we roast today for about

52
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: forty minutes. It's like gonna be like a full episode.

53
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: It was absolutely incredible. James, I know, he's like, I

54
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: don't want.

55
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: An icon role model.

56
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's an idol. Yeah, he's an idol of yours.

57
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: And we had a really really good conversation. So positive news.

58
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot a lot of really good content coming

59
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: at you today. It's gonna be good content too, which

60
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: just we have to talk about the ugly right now,

61
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: and that is the way the Mets played against the

62
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs, because it was it was pretty bad. I

63
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: don't I don't think there's really any way.

64
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: To paint it better than that.

65
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: It was the first episode literally the entire season, where

66
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: there's almost nothing positive to even pull, Like we can't

67
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 3: really say anything concrete that happened this series. He'd be like, yes,

68
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: this was good, this was this was this, this was that.

69
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: Like the bullpen pitch pretty well. Overall, Pete is probably

70
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: getting a little bit hot, but just overall, like you

71
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: just take all the three of these games together and

72
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: there's very little that we can, you know, be like

73
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: our usual selves and be like, yeah, but we had

74
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: this and this will regress to that. It's just it's

75
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: you don't feel like that right now. And while it's

76
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: not really that cool in a vacuum, and some Mets

77
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: fans probably have that weird empty feeling right now that

78
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: they felt a lot in the past couple of years,

79
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 3: it's not something that you should be feeling overall about

80
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: the state of this team. It's really just a collection

81
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 3: of bad games here more than anything else.

82
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, the timing is unfortunate for when it's happening, because

83
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: in baseball specifically, I mean any sport really, if you

84
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: play a little bit colder or you have your downstretch

85
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year, people like to throw

86
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: around different words as to what is going on, like

87
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: what collapse, choke And we're trying to tell you guys

88
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: that it's okay to be upset with the way that

89
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: the Mets are playing, but like it's it's just simply

90
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: not this collapse or this choke that is happening. The

91
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Mets are not playing well, for sure, and this is

92
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: the easier part of the schedule, which is also like

93
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: the word the narrative is so annoying.

94
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: But that's almost like the most hilarious and ironic part

95
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: of this whole thing. It was like, the Mets have

96
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: to get through their schedule to walk to September, and

97
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: then you kind of just throw your gloves on the

98
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: field and they'll probably just get through and figure it out.

99
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: And now somewhat the exact opposite has happened. The Mets

100
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: played these incredible stretches, this incredible stretch during August late July,

101
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: against some of the best teams in baseball, the Dodgers,

102
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: the Braves, the Phillies.

103
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we have a winning record against the Dodgers

104
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: this year, we have a winning record against the We've

105
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: dominated the Phillies, like all these really good teams. And

106
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: this isn't really Cardinals. Don't forget the Cardinals too yet.

107
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: Like I feel like the really confusing part about what's

108
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: going on right now on the field, off the field,

109
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: fan base, whatever it is.

110
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: Is just that everybody feels so so tight right now.

111
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: I mean on the field, off the field, everybody just

112
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure right now.

113
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: And I get it. The division is super important. I

114
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: want to win the division.

115
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to play in wild card round. If

116
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: we can avoid it at all costs, I would love to.

117
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: But the idea that like this team isn't good now

118
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: because of how they've played over the last what fifteen

119
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: to twenty games?

120
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: Thirty games? Five hundred and thirty games.

121
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's weird because we've seen what one

122
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: hundred plus games of them playing exceptionally good baseball. So

123
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: and even in those thirty, like if you're gonna take

124
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: everything on a one game sample, the sixteen wins have

125
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: all been pretty good wins. I mean, we had some

126
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: good smacking rounds of teams that Dodger sprinkled in there.

127
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: We won a series against them. It's just it is frustrating.

128
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: It's definitely frustrating having watched what just happened this past weekend.

129
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: We can what day is.

130
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday. It's Wednesday. I don't even know, Yeah, turning

131
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: into Thursday. When the Mets play like that, I kind

132
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: of lose track of time. It's I don't know, it's

133
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: it feels very strange, and I know we've been talking

134
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: about for the last few hours, but something is is

135
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: a little off. But I'm not worried like people are worried,

136
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's crazy.

137
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: Those sound I think the words like bizarre and some

138
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: things that have happened that kind of were like a

139
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: prelude to this one was and we mentioned it last episode,

140
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 3: like Max scherz are leaving his start two weeks ago. Yeah,

141
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: I kind of see him to take the air out of

142
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: the Mets sales at least for a moment in time,

143
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: but definitely made them play worse that series and also

144
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: over Labor Day. It was a weird feeling series than

145
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: the Starling Marte injury news That kind of trickled out slowly,

146
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: and now it's starting into him missing a few weeks here.

147
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably one of the huge things

148
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: that we're missing right now is Starling Marte's bat in

149
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 1: this lineup, Like he was so good for this team

150
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: all year. He was an All Star, he had been

151
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: one of our best offensive players. And now you go

152
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: from losing a guy who's hitting second in your lineup

153
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: every single day guaranteed playing great outfield, out and right field.

154
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: You're losing an All Star and now you're replacing him

155
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: with guys that are still good, but it's just it's

156
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: not to the level of Starling Marte. So you lose

157
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: your two hitter and now the guy slots into the

158
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: seven or eight spot. Like there there is a big difference.

159
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: He makes this line up so much deeper. And I

160
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: think when you lose a bat like his, as you

161
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: can see it, just it makes almost every app bat

162
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: feel more valuable, more pressure, just because you almost have

163
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: less of the good at baths coming.

164
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

165
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: It's also it's been like good days and bad days,

166
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: without those middle days that you can always hang your

167
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: hat on. When a team is good, you can just

168
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 3: kind of hit that middle ground. Like I was talking

169
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: to a fan on Twitter yesterday, just like you trying

170
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: to interact with people, see how people were feeling, and

171
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: they're feeling bad, but trying to see if I can

172
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 3: make them feel better. And he was like, the offense

173
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: has been really bad September, and as of yesterday, the

174
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: Mets have scored the fourth most runs in all of

175
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: baseball in September.

176
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: That's which is funny.

177
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: But then when you look at more closely again, and

178
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: there were four of those twelve games they play in

179
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: September to have the fourth most runs in the league,

180
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: thirty seven runs were scored. Yeah, whre's the bulk. So

181
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: it's like the hot and the cold, going back and

182
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: forth to hot in the cold instead of that like

183
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: nice middle ground, that floor that we've relied so much

184
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: on for the Mets this year. It's just weird. I feel,

185
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: it's just I don't know. It's also like these are

186
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: the dog days of baseball season. We haven't had like

187
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: a hotly contested September since twenty sixteen. No, like it's

188
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: been a long time since we had meaningful baseball games now, players, fans,

189
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: everybody alike.

190
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Well, it's like if you would have told us at

191
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year eighty nine wins, at this

192
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: point in September, you're you're in the you're in the

193
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: race for first place.

194
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: Half game half a game up, you're leaving, you're leading,

195
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: you're leading, defending World championship braves.

196
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, in case everyone forgot, we still are technically in

197
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: first place.

198
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: Now.

199
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: I'm not happy about being half a game up.

200
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take that as a big reward like, ooh,

201
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: half a game up, but the Mets are still in

202
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: first place.

203
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, I would have signed.

204
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Up for that if you told me on opening Day

205
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: this would be the Mets record, this where they would

206
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: stand on September fourteenth. I take it every time, but

207
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: I do understand why it feels different because of the

208
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: team had played so well all year. Like you said,

209
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: this is really the first time they've had a stretch

210
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: where they haven't been playing really really top level baseball.

211
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: Well, this is the first time they've been swept in

212
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: three game series and it's September fourteenth. Yeah, the first

213
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: time is swept in a three game series. Like that's

214
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: a pretty unbelievable thing to think about. And then a

215
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: lot of people think about baseball in terms of halves.

216
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: The Mets this year went fifty eight and thirty five

217
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: in the first half, and even after Wednesday Night's lost

218
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: at thirty one and twenty in the second half.

219
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: Well, and what makes that so funny too, is when

220
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: you compare it to the Braves, because I mean that's

221
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: what it is, guys, It's Mets braves. We know that everything,

222
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: everything is Mets Braves right now. Like the Braves have

223
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: been super super hot. We know that, but when you

224
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: compare their first and second half records with the Mets,

225
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: shockingly it is almost identical. The Braves are fifty six

226
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: and thirty eight in the first half, thirty two and

227
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: seventeen or thirty two and eighteen.

228
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: Now maybe after the loss today in the second half.

229
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I don't know, well, no, I know that

230
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: they lost. I don't know if I counted this in

231
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: the stat that I routed down, But the Mets and

232
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: the Braves basically all year have been playing dead even baseball,

233
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: outside of when the Braves had that like awful start

234
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: to the season the first two months and then they

235
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: got crazy hot.

236
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 3: But even still, that's kind of what the Mets have

237
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: done now in their last thirty games, kind of going

238
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 3: five hundred somewmers the Braves in their first thirty.

239
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: So it's a combination of like, the Mets aren't playing

240
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: their best baseball right now, the Braves are playing good.

241
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: But really as a whole, these are both just really

242
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: good teams that are battling it out. It's just again,

243
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: the timing allows for the narrative to be spoken about,

244
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: which is losing games of September, which Mets fans love

245
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: to bring up, which what.

246
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 3: We've talked about is before Mets fans and we all

247
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: know there is PTSD without a doubt, and like we

248
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 3: have seen some bad stretches of teams. We have seen,

249
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 3: especially the last four or five years, teams kind of

250
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: get progressively worse as seasons have gone on.

251
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: And it does feel like that relatively for this team.

252
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: But in this team, like the getting worse is going

253
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: from like a six eighty winning percentage like a sixty

254
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: winning percentage, so that everyone's right, it is getting worse

255
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: for sure. Like one guy tweet at me last night,

256
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: like open your eyes? Have you never watched the Mets before?

257
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: And I'm like, what have you not watched it? Like

258
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: this season? Like it's different, Like there's but that's PTSD,

259
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: that's trauma. That's people who've been affected by things in

260
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: their past and letting it kind of affect the things

261
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: in their future. Definitely, you can't do that. And then

262
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 3: we had one Mets fan, I think this something we

263
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: want to break down some jerk. I don't even want

264
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: I don't even want to give him a name right now,

265
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: but He basically said that if you don't think that

266
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: this season reminds you of two thousand and seven, you're

267
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: not paying attention. And took it took that guy. That

268
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 3: guy has not even the faintest idea what he's talking about.

269
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: It took me.

270
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: It took all all the strength in my body to

271
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: not go at a new Mark nuclear on him on Twitter,

272
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: because instead I put into the notes here for you

273
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: guys who are listening because Twitter, I don't I don't

274
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: need to be on Twitter right now talking about the

275
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: Mets because anybody who's coming at you is just is

276
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: really really down the dumps, and I don't really I

277
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: don't really care to see that. But the two thousand

278
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: and seven Mets guys, for those of you who don't remember.

279
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: Obviously they had the collapse. That was a collapse, for sure.

280
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 3: It's one of the worst collapses literally in the history

281
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: of the sports.

282
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Seven games was seventeen left. The Mets in two thousand

283
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: and seven had eighty eight wins as a team. How

284
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: many they have this year James nine eighty nine. So

285
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: the team already is is better without a doubt, Not

286
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: to mention that the last time the Mets were up

287
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: seven games was on August tenth, which is not that close,

288
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: like thirty five days ago, thirty five days ago. And

289
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: it's again, it's not because the Mets really playing bad.

290
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: The Brigs are also playing good baseball. Like I feel

291
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: like to compare the two sentand and seven team to

292
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two team, you have to have just

293
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: like been in a coma for fifteen years and like

294
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: wake up and be like, oh my god, like I

295
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: don't know anything like it.

296
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: They're they're not the same, they're not even close to

297
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 2: the same.

298
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: But it's kind of like if you do think like that,

299
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: it's almost like you've been watching this entire season, like

300
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: this very good team, one of the best stacistically speaking,

301
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: Mets teams of most of our lifetimes, with a lens

302
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 3: on where you're like, you're again trying to anticipate this

303
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: horrible feeling, You're trying to expect it, You're you're almost

304
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: like eager to see it, and that's there's just no

305
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: way to even go through life.

306
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: No, And we talked about this too when we were

307
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: watching the game, Like the negative and I'm not normally

308
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: like a negative energy person, but there's been like a

309
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: lot of people, and it feels like there are some

310
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: Mets fans. I know you guys listen at home. You're

311
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: not part of this, but you can probably appreciate what

312
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: we're gonna say. You probably have a friend who thinks like, yes,

313
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: you definite, or an uncle. At the absolute worst, people

314
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: like want to see this team not do well so

315
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: that they can say I told you, and I don't

316
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: understand that they're they're are active Mets fans were like,

317
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: I knew this team was going to be like this,

318
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: but they the thing that they're claiming they knew isn't

319
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: even correct.

320
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: They don't know what they're talking about.

321
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: And that's like the most frustrating is because not that

322
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: our job is to like tell you guys what's right

323
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: and wrong or like to be, you know, the voice

324
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: of any reason, but it is frustrating to be active

325
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: on like social media, talking to Mets fans at times

326
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: and them not understand that this is so catastrophically.

327
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: Different and we're not also saying like this team and

328
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 3: this stretches without faults, like yeah, there are plenty of

329
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: players we wish we're playing better. There are plenty of

330
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: things that we wish went the other way, there's there's

331
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: a certain circumstances that every Mets fan knows are not

332
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: exactly perfect. Right now, We're clear and obvious.

333
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: We're frustrated just like you guys, but it's a different

334
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: it's a different kind of frustration. It's not a frustration

335
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: of this team is terrible, we're done. It's just a man,

336
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: it would have been nice to be playing better.

337
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: Like could you imagine if we were the Milwaukee Brewers

338
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: right now? Like they the Milwaukee Brewers have literally catastrophically

339
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: collapsed over the last six weeks and the season. Traded

340
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: someone who's been one of their best players for the

341
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 3: last handful of years, their actually best player for the

342
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: last handful of years, and off like christ they traded

343
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: Josh Hader. Christian Yellich has been one of the best

344
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: players former MVP player has completely crater. He's now become

345
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: basically what a different version of what he was like

346
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: six years ago. At this point, they're not getting any production.

347
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: Most of their offensive team they like move after move.

348
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: You've seen them kind of cut costs and try to

349
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 3: be agile to try and maintain the playoff race, and

350
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: is literally going to cost in their playoffs, but it's

351
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 3: probably gonna cost people their jobs and go. It's it's

352
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: kind of I'm sure it's frustrating the fans of that team.

353
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: This isn't a collapse like this is anything remotely like that,

354
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: Like that's a team that's collapsing. This is just a

355
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: team that's kind of in a swoon swoons.

356
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: September swoon instead of the June swoon earlier. I think

357
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: that it's came up with like a three game lead

358
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: in September, like we had to go at three and

359
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: a half lead the All Star.

360
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically the same.

361
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: It's just the narrative is annoying, and we are with

362
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: you guys again. This stinks.

363
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: The series, the serious stinks is such a bad series.

364
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: You can tell because we have not even talked about

365
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: a single really inning.

366
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: Of this entire series. We don't want to really.

367
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: I mean, like Michael Hermercy, you were runn four feet

368
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: out of the baseline. That was really annoying him also

369
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: making two amazing plays crashing into the center field walls,

370
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: frustrating his house ersaal freddie Be really put on literally

371
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: all Mark's fault. Martin Hermacy. Our friends posted the picture

372
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 3: on Twitter with him. Connected with him for years.

373
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've known he's pretty, he's WOA. I won't call

374
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: him but jerky.

375
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 4: He's a good guy. He's a good guy.

376
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: He' sure he's a good guy. But to me, he's

377
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: a very nice guy.

378
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: But if I didn't have any personal connection to him,

379
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: he'd be going on that ender in cr T. Let

380
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: you guys know all about because of the the bunt

381
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: with two strikes. And actually I spoke to him before

382
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: the game too, which is to tell I will say

383
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: that coming off of the bench cold when O two

384
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: count and dropping a perfect bunt down that was impressed. Well,

385
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: that's what I want to talk about because ninety hour heat.

386
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: I talked to him and I was like before the

387
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: game today on Wednesday, and I was like, hey, like,

388
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: first off, stop like stop doing this against us, please

389
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: play worse.

390
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: But also, you know, congrats.

391
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm like, how did you

392
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: feel going from the bench to being like, oh, I'm down.

393
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: O two to Jacob the ground? What do I do?

394
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: He's like, Oh, the bunk was such a great idea.

395
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: He's like, because if I get out it's not negative

396
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: to me. It goes to Rafael Ortega. But if he

397
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: gets to hit, it's.

398
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: Positive to him. He ended up getting the air.

399
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: He's appealing it to major League Baseball because he's like, boyle, boy,

400
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: do I want to hit against probably the greatest pitcher

401
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm ever gonna face in my lifetime.

402
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 3: Batting average is also like o eighty eight, so I'm

403
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: sure he wants to get that one hit to bump

404
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: it up to the triple digits.

405
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, he had he had a good series.

406
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: Also, that whole inning just because was kind of a

407
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: microcosm of what happened this series, a little bit of

408
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: the series we're going to talk about.

409
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: Because he has blew that call it crazy.

410
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Cubs are just playing like this really

411
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: like an annoying, frustrating brand of small ball that bumped

412
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: up the first base line that he kind of hesitated

413
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: and threw the ball on the wrong side of the plate.

414
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: They got a couple of seeing I singles against a

415
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: Gram like a sack fly. Like it was just that

416
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: was it. If you felt like kind of deflated. You

417
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: heard the Gram talk about after the game how disappointed

418
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: he was with his outing when I think he still

419
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: had like twenty four whitths or something on Tuesday still

420
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: was incredible, bumped his era up from like one six

421
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: to like two to one. Yeah, it's just it was

422
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: just very frustrating beginning to end. The whole series was

423
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: like that, with plenty of chances to score in all

424
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: three of these games. Finally, anytime we actually got something going,

425
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: someone hit to a double play. Yeah, hit double plays

426
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 3: as well, like a couple tonight, Like right before Pte

427
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: hit that eighth inning home run, Lindor hit a scorcher

428
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: that was double play. What was the hour double play too?

429
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: You had the stats on the ground balls right Oh, yeah,

430
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: you pull that up because right now, because it feels

431
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: like there's been a crazy amount of double plays recently

432
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: since August first, the Mets have the sixth lowest ground

433
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: ball rate in all baseball.

434
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: Which is kind of shocking.

435
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: I was I was taking back when you told me that,

436
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: because I definitely expect it to be like in the

437
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: top ten, because it feels like we're hitting the ball

438
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: on the ground a lot and into double plays, which

439
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: is gonna happen at times.

440
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: Le plays a part of the game.

441
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: We also have the fifth lowest pop up rate. It's

442
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: interesting since August first, a lot of line drives.

443
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: We're think a lot of line drives and fly balls,

444
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: exact things you want to hit to be advantageous to yourself.

445
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: It's just it stinks. This this stretch stinks. I don't

446
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: really know how else to say, Like, if you guys

447
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: want us to scream and yell and say all the nonsense, that's.

448
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: Like completely overreacting. That's not going to be us. That's

449
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: never really been us.

450
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: I mean, the Mets are still literally like on the

451
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: doorstep of clinching a playoff berth, and to not appreciate that,

452
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: I think would be incorrect and kind of foolish. Like

453
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 3: it's not like everything's falling apart in front of our eyes.

454
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: It really is not like the worst case scenarios that

455
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: we have three home games in the first full weekend of.

456
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: October when the Mets it's not great, but it's fine. Yeah,

457
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: And I mean, how many three games series have we

458
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: lost this year? I think I think they're fuss six now, like,

459
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: and we've.

460
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: Won how many like all the other ones, countless other

461
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: ones Like.

462
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: I like our chances even then, but yeah, I don't

463
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: want to play the wild card game at all. I would,

464
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: I really really want to win the division.

465
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: And of course that's still not even anything close to

466
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: before gon conclusion.

467
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: We're in first place, literally first place, in the first place,

468
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: first place.

469
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: Right now, you would think that the Mets are ten back,

470
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: You really would, the way some people are like the

471
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: Red Sox right now are like the Brewers with the

472
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 3: Angels and really fallen by the wayside.

473
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: Listen, like, we get it. There's there's some bad juju

474
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: going on right now.

475
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: But throughout the game today because we were watching and

476
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: it was it was pretty much over from the first setting.

477
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: Dave Peterson didn't give us much of a great start.

478
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: It happens whatever. Trevor Williams did a great job in relief.

479
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: Shout out to Trevor woodv wins. Oh my god, dude,

480
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: absolute struck out what six in row?

481
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: One point yes, six in rows? Shook out what eight?

482
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: Think was the stwn Trevor Williams.

483
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 4: He struck out six in a row that was the

484
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 4: longest span of his career. He also had eight strikeouts

485
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: out of the bullpen that was tied for the second

486
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: most by any Mets reliever in a relief outing in

487
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: team history, and he had fifteen whiffs, which were his

488
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 4: most in any outing this season. So big shout out

489
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: Trevor Williams.

490
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: Huge and especially on the doorstep of another four game series,

491
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: no off day to have him come in and throw

492
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: legitim and bulk save a good portion of this bullpen

493
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: with David Peterson was only able to get with a

494
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: one out or two outs. One out, he was only

495
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: able to get one out. That one out, of course,

496
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: the strikeout, of course the Mets struck. The first eight

497
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: outs the Mets actually got on Wednesday were strikeouts, which

498
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 3: was just a really funny caveat to a chaos game.

499
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: But big ups to Peterson for giving the bullpen a

500
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: break a Brie Williams, Williams're right, Trevor Peterson, Peterson, Yeah,

501
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: i'd be that would be a hell of a pitcher.

502
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: It's midnight. It's midnight on Wednesday nights too. Yes, it's

503
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: for a while. But that's that's what we do for

504
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: the content. That's what we do for you guys. Whatever

505
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: we're done, we're done. Yeah, it's just an anything else

506
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: we want to talk about from this as we sat

507
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: in the City pavilion.

508
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, only really cool about to watch a game, swivel seeds,

509
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 3: like benches with cup holders, really cool spots to watch

510
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: a game.

511
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Unlimited alcohol, Yeah, be paid for it, but well, yeah

512
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: you pay for I guess you pay for beer, beer

513
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: and selter. We were giving the tickets from a friend,

514
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: which was nice.

515
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: That was really cool.

516
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 3: Shout out Mike.

517
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: Shout out Mike. Yeah, shout out Micah.

518
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: If you guys are FIFA players, you know who Mike is.

519
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, so today we had a lot of time,

520
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: like we said, because the game was over in the

521
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: first inning the game.

522
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: We got close ish she did, but like I never

523
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: felt like it.

524
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: It felt like it for a second.

525
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we helped a couple of different seconds

526
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: and then Pete hit the home run and it was like,

527
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, like what could have been? But okay,

528
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it anymore because we're

529
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: done with that.

530
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 4: Now.

531
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: We're done being sorry, We're done being upset.

532
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: The Bets have another series coming up and they have

533
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: an opportunity to win up a bunch of games against

534
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates. So during this we're like, we gotta

535
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: change up to juju. We gotta do a bunch of

536
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: different things. You guys know I'm gonna pull it out now.

537
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 2: You guys know.

538
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: About the rally, but it's still here. Uh, it was

539
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: in the freezer. I think we've made the conscious choice. Yeah,

540
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: this is John. Shockingly, the guy who talked about being

541
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: not superstitious at all is the one who's fighting for

542
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: it to stay alive.

543
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: But that's not true. Would you consistency from you?

544
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: You have to know it's being able to adapt die? John, Yeah,

545
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: it's like what this is.

546
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: You have to know sometimes it became unlucky when they

547
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: when the magic runs out, you know it's time and listen.

548
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: Everything's got expiration date, bread included, John, you want to

549
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: you want to bite the vibes expire?

550
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 2: Would you take a bite?

551
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: John?

552
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 4: If I take How about this? If I've been into

553
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: that right now for vibes for three out of four?

554
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: Would you signed for that? If I've been into that

555
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: thing right now?

556
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: If you buy into this and the Mets win tonight,

557
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: are you guys listen to this? Yeah? It's sick. Ye

558
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: oh my god.

559
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 4: The dentist in a while, so hopefully.

560
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 1: Just from the Dodgers series, definitely thought by now right

561
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: there we go, Johnny Buns over here, let's John's doing

562
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: the content. We're back, all right, We're back to rally

563
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: buns back. Put it back in the freezer, all right,

564
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: keeping it out. Wow, that was dramatic. But you know what,

565
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: this this stuff that we were talking about, we have

566
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: to change the energy, We have to change the vibes.

567
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: It was Islander night at the park.

568
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: I suggested we cut the wings off of Sparky, who's

569
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: the Islander's mascot.

570
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: He's a dragon.

571
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 3: I considered putting them in a soup, maybe eating it

572
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: as like some kind of like official events, Like.

573
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: We probably can't sacrifice like anything that's actually live, but Sparky,

574
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: the mascot, I think cutting off it was nothing that

575
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: big should be able to fly.

576
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 3: I suggested sending some kind of possuma raccoon carcass to Atlanta. Yeah,

577
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 3: that's a good move for us. Possible. And now, maybe

578
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: like if you guys usually put your right shoe on

579
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 3: before your left shoe, maybe just this week, can't switch

580
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: it up, you know, change that. Maybe if you like

581
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: to wear black socks, are wearing white sox.

582
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: For a couple of days.

583
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we got this this wiki how article that's

584
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: gone a lot of ways to brilli good, to get

585
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: rid of bad luck. You got you know, the classic

586
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: pinch salt over your right shoulder with your left hand.

587
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: My mother does that. I know she's listening to this

588
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: right now, so she'll think this funny. My mom does

589
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: that multiple times a week.

590
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: While I was telling you, and I'll fill the viewers

591
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: in and John and everybody, and Mendez's in here. Shout

592
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: to Mendez helping us out staying late. My grandma Yaya,

593
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: shout out Yaya. I know she's listening to this. She

594
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: standards no, she she knows ya ya.

595
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 2: She knows Yai.

596
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: My mom's translating to her currently as she's listening to this.

597
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: She's she's got magic powers. I've spoken about this before.

598
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: But whenever it gets sick, or whenever she does her thing,

599
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: it's it's always with salt.

600
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 2: She just she says her stuff and she looks you

601
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: right in the eye.

602
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: I think we might have to roll Yaya into the

603
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: city field and start start to evilizing the whole place

604
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: and start taking some salt and throwing it and giving

605
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: it to random fans and they have to Yeah, you

606
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: have to eat have her hand, which is a little weird, but.

607
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know she'd like that from

608
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 3: random fans. Yeah, but she's as long as she knows

609
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 3: that from the Mediterranean, she.

610
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: Can maybe like take it from her hand, pour it

611
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: into their hand and then I think that's a little

612
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: more safe. But Eucharist the salt is definitely something we

613
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: got to start start doing a little bit of on here.

614
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: We can get Kyrie Irving in here, like some stage. Yeah,

615
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: lights definitely need kill the vibes as possible. You know,

616
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 3: where do you buy Well, then where.

617
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: Do you buy stage?

618
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: I'm not going to go there.

619
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. You live in Brooklyn.

620
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: If anyone breaks a mirror, remember don't throw away the pieces.

621
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: No, do not do not do that. But how do

622
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 3: you dispose the broken mirror?

623
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 2: You don't worry about it? Worry about it. Incense? Anybody

624
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 2: got incense at home?

625
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: Just just light up a little incense, carry around protective charms.

626
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

627
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: Maybe some crystals four leaf flover, a horseshoe or rabbit foot.

628
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: I like the crystals. The crystals. Crystals are a little crazy.

629
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 3: If if if things don't go accorn to plan this weekend,

630
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: there's a non zero chance there's some crystals in the

631
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: building next week.

632
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: Here's a good one. Here's a good one that I think.

633
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 3: Here's a called Patrick.

634
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: Everybody could do, though, do a good deed.

635
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: Do a good deed nice the best.

636
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: Way to change your luck.

637
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Do a good deed, do something nice for somebody, helps

638
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: them out, help them all men across the street. Yeah,

639
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I like this one too. Cleanse your

640
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: chakras with fresh flowers. You guys aren't doing that. You're

641
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: really missing on. Apparently you have to make like a

642
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: hot water soup and put some flowers in there and

643
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: then drink the soup.

644
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know if that's safe.

645
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 3: Is to bring the basin into the bathroom, well, I

646
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: can't the word basin. Basin's like a natural word.

647
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: Use a washcloth to bathe in the flower energized water.

648
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna starting to get a little crazy.

649
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: Here, here's a good one to clothe you're home. Yeah,

650
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: spend spend an afternoon this weekend, just you know, clean

651
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: it up. You hear about sprinkling. Do some fall cleaning,

652
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: just like great in the spring. Clean something out the

653
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: morning ten am. Clean a shelf, clean a drawer, clean

654
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: the drunk jar, out.

655
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: The power of light.

656
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: This says, try turning on all the lights in your

657
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: house and lighting candles so there are no dark spots

658
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: for bad energy to hide in.

659
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: I mean that's huge. That sounds like a good one

660
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: to me. Can we do that in the field? Do

661
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: you think how many spots are dark energy hide crevices here?

662
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: I know the lights take like a few minutes to

663
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: turn on, but yeah, I think we could just keep

664
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: them on for like twenty four hours.

665
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean we could probably talk to ballpark op.

666
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you he'd be down.

667
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

668
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 3: Yeah. If we told management like only a couple a

669
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: couple grand to get rid of all the bad luck,

670
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 3: that's the best investment I've ever heard.

671
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: I think Buck would be all in on that travel

672
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: to another country. That this might be taugher.

673
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 3: Maybe if we have any you know, listeners of the show,

674
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 3: you know we we were the number one baseball podcast

675
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: trended out to Bagel for a long time. Yeah, Dreda

676
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 3: were close to a boiler hop over for like the afternoon.

677
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: Canadian fans come come come catch a game this weekend.

678
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe if you're if you're close again, like, if

679
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: you're close, maybe Texas listeners just crossed some kind of

680
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: a boiler if you can, if anyone's in Europe, sing

681
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 3: Us in Europe, do whatever you can across the board.

682
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: That's a quick train ride for you. Yeah, just just

683
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: hit this up.

684
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you twenty dollars toward the train ticket

685
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: and match.

686
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll match, I'll match. And then I got some

687
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: some other stuff too about goodluck superstitions, because now we

688
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: were talking about breaking bad luck. Yeah, now we need

689
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: some good lucks, some superstitions. Well, now that we cleaned

690
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: out the energy, we have to bring good energy in. Yes,

691
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, there's there's a bunch of different

692
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: countries that do it different ways. The Greeks and apparently

693
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: the Danes as well. They throw dishes, they break dishes,

694
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: which I mean, it's fun, it's great. Do it safely.

695
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: My big fact of course, don't stereotype marks is good. Right, Yeah,

696
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: that's right here. Yeah, come on, job, please believe talk

697
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: about Yeah. Yeah you could think you say anything you

698
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: want now, No, but we there is breaking of dishes

699
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: and it's fun. Well.

700
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 3: Also, this is something I was gonna start talking about too,

701
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: because I'm sure there's also a lot of Mets fans

702
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: who are doing some anger right now. We know based

703
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 3: on like if the vocal minority on Twitter where they

704
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 3: whoever they are. We have some also strategies for them

705
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: similar to this, break something, smack something. Throw your old

706
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: printed you haven't used in four years on the front lawn.

707
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: Take a baseball bat you probably have used eight years.

708
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 3: Smash the hell out of it.

709
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, just beat that thing to pieces. Scream into a pillow. Yeah,

710
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: stream to allow one. Here's one that I like, and

711
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: this comes from Spain. Eat a dozen grapes, easy, and

712
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: wear red underwear to ring in the new year. Now

713
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make an adjust, Okay, I think it's eat

714
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: a dozen grapes and wear blue underwear because the more

715
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: orange or orange blue or orange and to ring in

716
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: the new year. I mean, let's be honest. The Mets

717
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: and the Braves right now, it's there's they're owing. Oh yeah,

718
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: and whoever finishes the best towards the end of the

719
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: year is gonna win this division. And you know everyone

720
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: says playoffs, who new season, whole new season. So I

721
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: think that's a great way to ring in the new

722
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: year for these Mets. Eat a dozen grapes or blue

723
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: or orange underwear.

724
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: I like that one.

725
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe draw paint, do something artistic, do something, step

726
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: out of your comfort zone for a little bit, get

727
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: take the anger and chat somewhere.

728
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 4: Well.

729
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: A lot of greatest artists and writers of the world's history.

730
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: That's how they got their start.

731
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: And the Mets have had some players too that have

732
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: been very superstitious, specifically Turk Wendell. Turk Wendell had tons

733
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: of superstitions. He would eat tons of He would have

734
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: black or licorice on the mound, I believe during the games,

735
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: or go out to the mound with black licorice. Made

736
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: sure he would always brush his teeth and keep his

737
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: teeth clean whenever he needed.

738
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 2: Love the number ninety nine.

739
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: Everything he did, number ninety nine in it, his approach,

740
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: every batter, batter, his necklace, which was made out of

741
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: the teeth of the hunted animals that he killed.

742
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: I mean, the dude was a walking superstition.

743
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: It's hunting season. If you guys want to hunt, that's

744
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 3: probably not the worst idea either. Right now, we'll make

745
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: a necklace of the teeth like Turk went will do

746
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: it for Turk. But there's a lot of things that

747
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: we can do out there. It doesn't have to be

748
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: all doom and gloom, because it's not doom and gloom.

749
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: No, the Mets are still a very very good baseball team.

750
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: But I agree there's been some there's been some bad

751
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: jude ju. There's been some bad energy toxicity, yeah, a

752
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: little bit, and we need to change that. So hopefully

753
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: you guys take some of these ideas, you use them. However,

754
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: please you know what tweet that us maybe says a

755
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: picture of video.

756
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: If you do any of these strategies we've given you

757
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 3: and we will, we'll give you a retweet and a

758
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 3: shout out.

759
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 2: I know someone out there has got crystals.

760
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god, plenty.

761
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one wild. I like this one a lot too.

762
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: Ring a bell or a gong. I would love to

763
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: ring a guy. I think every Met player playoff go Yeah, playoff.

764
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 4: Gong sounds like a pretty good idea.

765
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: I think every player should have to ring a gong, like,

766
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: give it a good smack. I feel like that would

767
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: be a good like like Darren, Darren ruff the biggest

768
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: mallet that the city of New York has to offer,

769
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: and let him smash the crap out of a gong. Yeah, Darren,

770
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: he needs a little tickle, he needs a smile a

771
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, I got a nice hit in Game three.

772
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: He's hit the ball hard, hit the ball hard. I'd

773
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: love to get him on the show. Yes, we saw

774
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: what we did to Tomas Neo after our interview drop

775
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: with him. Thomas NEOs now hit two home runs on

776
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: the season, is only two, but he's been blazing hot.

777
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: So hopefully I don't know. I don't know if it's possible,

778

00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 3: question accomplished.

796
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: It's stunk.

797
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: That's bad.

798
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: This is bad.

799
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: That's the last we're gonna talk about it. Because the

800
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: Mets are gonna turn around. We've got faith, We're feeling good.

801
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: You gotta believe, you gotta believe. That's literally the slogan

802
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: of this team. I mean, the Mets. They've they've been

803
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: through some stuff. They've been through way worse, way worse,

804
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: with way worse teams. You guys, remember Mike nikkias Mike Nikias.

805
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: That's a name.

806

Speaker 1: How about uh about brad Amos Braddy That's another name.

807
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: It's another name I think some other ones named some

808
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: random Mets players from some bad.

809
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 3: Team Carlos Torres, Jason, Marlon Byrd, the good stratch of

810
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: the Mets. Yeah, but it's the the vibe of Marlon

811
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: Bird getting his e y great guy on some bad

812
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: Mets teams.

813
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

814
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: So Aaron Harang, Aaron Harang, Aaron Harang, Remember Jason isring

815
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: House in the second stint with the Mets. Yeah, of course,

816
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: Nanny Acosta, you have who else? There was another one

817
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: that was thinking of the.

818
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: Frank Francisco, don't bring up Frank France.

819
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: Don't bring up the next guy. Don't do it. Maybe no,

820
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: John Rausch, see, get rid of it.

821
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: We're done.

822
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: We're done, no more, no more.

823
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: This is what it's been like for most of your guys'

824
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 3: lifetimes watching the Mess, and this is what we have

825
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 3: now for ours. But I'm sure most of our listenership

826
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 3: is similar age to our similar range, the older, little younger,

827
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: we're kind of in between. We met a nice like

828
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: seven eight year old fan today, which is pretty crazy

829
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 3: to you and shout him out, what did you guys name?

830
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: Didn't get his name?

831
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: Really, he's listening, but we got you man Grave Media

832
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: rocking the rally cap you know, whoever you were, you

833
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 3: were out love the rally. Yeah, good move in left field,

834
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: good kid. That's the energy we need, that's the vibes

835
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: we need right now. So that being said, that's the

836
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: end of it. I'm not going to talk about the

837
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: bad juju anymore. Now, remember the bad, appreciate the good.

838
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about another loss that happened well for me

839
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: at least that'd be the estimate. Because James big one,

840
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: big win for you that moves you do.

841
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: Now, what is the record?

842
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: Nine to seven? I believe to seven. Well it's really

843
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: ten to seven. But John took I went away.

844
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: The fans took it away from you. They voted, the

845
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: people decided you missed. You miss brow with that black pole.

846
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: You had every opportunity to tweet it as well.

847
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: I was.

848
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: I was not.

849
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: I was sleeping a rare time where you were sleeping

850
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: and I was a way bizarre.

851
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: That's that's weird.

852
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the estimate for this one here, John, Uh,

853
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: what what are we looking at?

854
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 4: We're gonna look at Francisco indoor walk up songs used

855
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 4: during the series. But before you guys give your answers,

856
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: and I didn't give you paper, so I have to

857
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 4: hand that over.

858
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: They give us a rip of that spiral note.

859
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: But I just kind of want to follow up on

860
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 4: what you guys were saying the John. I think that

861
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 4: there's a part of this fan base that you know,

862
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 4: like you said, has seen a lot of bad in

863
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 4: the past and has scorned. And I feel like there's

864
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 4: a lot of this fan base and you mentioned this,

865
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 4: James before, fans who were kind of like, see, I

866
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: told you this is gonna happen. I know someone like that.

867
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: My cousin Jamie, absolutely nut job. I have to put

868
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: my phone on silent.

869
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Rob was texting me all week about the trade deadline.

870
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: My uncle George, love him, Bud, He's nuts. Uncle lost.

871
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 4: We've all got one. And I was thinking about it

872
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 4: and like, I get it, and I think people act

873
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: that way to protect themselves so much, and.

874
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 3: It definitely mirrors their emotional standing in life as well.

875
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 2: It's a lot.

876
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 4: Easier psychologists James James over here.

877
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: It's a lot easier to cha to be okay if

878
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: something bad happens later, if you start not caring now, yeah.

879
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 4: And if you expect it, and then if you could

880
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 4: say I called it, I knew it. You know something

881
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 4: bad has happened. It hurts, But I'm smart, right exactly,

882
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: I knew this and you didn't. Thus, you know, I

883
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: have the leg up in this situation. But deep down,

884
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: they're not going to be happy, like we all want

885
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 4: the Mets to win. That's still and we're all upset.

886
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: So I think that's where a lot of this comes from.

887
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: And I said this to you guys earlier. If on

888
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 4: September fourteenth, now it's going to be fifteenth, twenty twenty one.

889
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 4: Someone came to you and said, hey, this time next year,

890
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: the Mets will have eighty nine wins yep, and be

891
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 4: a half game up in the division. Would you take

892
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 4: that or no? All that all Mets fan that would

893
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 4: say no, it's not good enough for me.

894
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: I feel like you'd be just up lying if you

895
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: start We're five hundred in the last month. It's just

896
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: short missed opportunities. Every team has their peaks and valleys,

897
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: like that's it's all means hundred and six games and

898
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: like we said, like every game matters like this, these

899
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: games are technically no more valuable than games.

900
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: And that's why when you guys heard us in April,

901
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 3: before we even doing this stuff with the Mets, before

902
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: we ressociated with the team, we were we were talking

903
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 3: about how how manrd we were to lose a game

904
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: to the Nationals. Yeah, like literally the first weekends the

905
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 3: first series of the year, because we were like, I

906
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: want that game in September. Yeah, like that, all these

907
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 3: games matter, so it sucks to lose these, but like

908
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: you still have to maintain view of the big picture.

909
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 4: Yes, yet positives right now Tomaso. This team has gotten

910
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 4: very little production from the catcher spot most of the season.

911
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 4: They're getting a lot of it right now. Pete Alonzo's

912
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 4: homeward three times in his last six games. The bullpen

913
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 4: seventeen innings, pitch twenty eight strikeouts, just three walks in

914
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: the last three games. I know a lot of Mets

915
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 4: fans are worried about the bullpen. The bullpen's been one

916
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 4: of the best parts of this team. And you know

917
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: the last week, yep, during the quote unquote struggles struggle. Yeah,

918
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: we'll get to estimate, but I just wanted to throw

919
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 4: that in there for sure. A lot of things about

920
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 4: this team that are going well. And look we're finding

921
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 4: out Darling Marte damn important playing.

922
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: Really important, important, really important, And I mean like you're

923
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: even talking about other good things like McNeil.

924
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: I think you guys splashed it on the scoreboard today

925
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 2: at one.

926
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: Point eleven for the last twenty on base Yeah, played

927
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: appearances up there, which like he's playing such good baseball too.

928
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: Like it's really really, really really easy to put on

929
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: the blinders and just see losses and just.

930
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: Be like ready to call it a day. Really easy.

931
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: But like we're We're trying our best to keep you

932
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: guys calm, ground level headed, and like we said, just

933
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: get rid of the bad luck. Do some of the

934
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: things we suggested, and I think we're gonna be just fine.

935
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 2: This team is good.

936
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 4: Now. What I think everyone needs to do is go out,

937
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 4: get one of these bad boys. Shout your seven, Shout

938
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 4: out to the seven line, Shout out to James for

939
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 4: hooking me up a little big on me. This shear

940
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 4: it's got wins in it. The Mets win tomorrow. I'm

00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 4: wear it on Saturday.

00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: But will you wash it?

944
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna watch That's right, you want.

945
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: I think I think we've I think we've turned you

946
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: around here, John a little bit. You are now sounding

947
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: a little bit superstitious. I am at least sounding very married.

948
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 4: Why because I'm not gonna watch it? Yeah, well sometimes

949
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 4: I do want you. That's a lie anyway.

950
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 3: I think more just like not caring about your must

951
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 3: We need paper.

952
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: We need paper, paper.

953
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 4: And pencil paper. What I found crazy talking about Tomas

954
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 4: Nito had a huge had a huge game today. Seven

955
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 4: through nine of the Mets line up today had eight

956
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 4: total bases in just Game three of the series alone.

957
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 3: See what five in game one?

958
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: The messed up part about this, the mets up part

959
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: about this? Oh look at that is that I said

960
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: if I lost the Mets, we're gonna have a really

961
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: good series.

962
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,319

00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:50,439

00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:25,520

Speaker 4: Now we can move on Anthony earlier.

999
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 3: All right.

1000
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 4: For all the Mets fans that have been coming to

1001
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 4: City Field, especially of the late, you may or may

1002
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 4: not have noticed that Francisco Lindor has been using a

1003
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: different walk up song virtually each played appearance.

1004
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: It's impressive to that deep library, deep deep library.

1005
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: Of songs flashing lights, Kanye Tonight.

1006
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 4: Making, DJ Razor Michael Castellani are the guru, our audio

1007
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 4: engineer here to feel making them work. So I figured

1008
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 4: what better a way to uh to encompass the Lindor

1009
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 4: music tracks than leaving it to you guys to tell us.

1010
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 3: I have a leading question.

1011
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: Yes, what if the song changes but it comes back

1012
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: later in the series's one song unique song question?

1013
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: As a sex tricky? Did that this series? That's a

1014
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: great video game?

1015
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 4: Good game, definitely, all right, So that's a good question.

1016
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 4: That's fine print. So that's a good thing to point out.

1017
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 4: But yes, how many different songs will Francisco Lindoor use

1018
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 4: during this four game series against the pitts Burg Pirates.

1019
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: Man, that's a really good question, Hans John. All right,

1020
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: so we got a four game series against the pirates.

1021
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: I gotta hide my math from James here, big South

1022
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: Carolina guy over here.

1023
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: We do math by hand.

1024
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 3: You know, calculator South Carolina.

1025
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Actually, my professors of South Carolina had

1026
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: this weird thing of no calculators, and I was like,

1027
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: it's at work.

1028
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: They get it.

1029
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: Calculators are absolutely the greatest implement for cheating that we're

1030
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: ever given to the student.

1031
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: No, not even for like the typing in the answer

1032
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: like to do like math, No, no, but the graphic calculators.

1033
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: Oh, you could just take high school.

1034
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: You can type out the everything and of course save

1035
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: no there's nothing better. Shout out Westfield. All right, I

1036
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: got my number. So many, that's so many. There's no

1037
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: way he has this many, but he really does.

1038
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like every time we're here together,

1039
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: we go, Oh it's a new song.

1040
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 4: Alright.

1041
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: Actually, I got mine too.

1042
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: Nope, I'm changing it.

1043
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 4: WHOA, No, I'm saying.

1044
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: I'm saying saying, I'm saying, I'm saying I got sare Yeah,

1045
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

1046
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 4: All right, here we go three, two, one.

1047
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: Bang, all right, I put fifteen eleven. Wow, I was

1048
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: gonna go eleven.

1049
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 3: I just I wanted eleven this time. Sticking with it. Yeah,

1050
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 3: that's a similar idea. Fifteen.

1051
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: I assume he's gonna get about sixteen at bats, and

1052
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: I think fifteen different songs can be coming on now.

1053
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: I think I'm going on to that. I think I

1054
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: think it's gonna get hot and stick with a couple songs.

1055
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 2: Which I listen.

1056
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: I would love to be wrong about this one, because

1057
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: if Lindor, he's definitely at least a little stitious.

1058
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: Maybe not so.

1059
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 3: I think he's pretty stitious. He's definitely a little stitious. Yeah,

1060
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 3: we talked to Frank. When we talked to Francisco. We'll

1061
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 3: make sure we we get that answer.

1062
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 4: Quiz the entire team, and I'm not quiz but poll survey. Yeah,

1063
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,959
Speaker 4: how many guys are actually superst.

1064
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 2: You got to imagine that, like seventy five percent of

1065
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: the team is.

1066
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: I feel like baseball and potall players, especially because baseball

1067
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: is such a weird, like finicky sport where there's so

1068
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: many there's so much downtime that you have to do stuff,

1069
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: and you do have to like somehow rationalize how when

1070
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: you hit the ball one hundred and ten miles an hour,

1071
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 1: you're out sometimes and sometimes it goes over the fence,

1072
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: like you have mentally you have to be able to

1073
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: be like it's because I didn't wear my socks today,

1074
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: otherwise you're gonna go crazy.

1075
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: I did my buttons from top to bottom to the

1076
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 3: bottom to the top.

1077
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: I stepped out on the field with my left foot first.

1078
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 3: I remember I hit the foul line yesterday and that

1079
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 3: bad luck actually just took an extra day to set.

1080
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 4: In over line. That's that's the thing.

1081
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Yeah, you can't guys.

1082
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: Do that, can not touch the line going out to

1083
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: the field. That's that's like the golden swish.

1084
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had the one also, I believe that we're

1085
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 4: not going to say on this family.

1086
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 3: Show, Swisher was begging for good luck luck.

1087
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: Tej Rivera and Kevin Ploki I believe had one as well,

1088
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: which we will not mention.

1089
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 2: But you Mets fans will know the deep cut about

1090
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about.

1091
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: But when they used to get the crown, they also

1092
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: used to get something else with them.

1093
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 4: So yeah, all right, you know what, you guys have

00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 4: about the lentils that I've never heard that one. I

1138
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,520

Speaker 4: Yeah, Jonathan Square Garden, great theme.

1144
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: I was about to ask what the theme was, and

1145
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: I was like to be hockey related.

1146
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 4: I came out on the dancing shoulders, wear my Ranger jersey.

1147
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's go.

1148
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 4: I wasn't wearing anything red, and she had a conniption

1149
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 4: in the morning, Like you know, she's getting ready. My

1150
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 4: sisters are getting ready, she asks me. I have twin

1151
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 4: sisters there, twenty eight or nine, and they'll be here

1152
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 4: on Saturday. So if you guys are around about to

1153
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 4: introduce you, you won't be here. I doubt it, yeah too much,

1154
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 4: figure something else out. But anyway, I wasn't wearing anything red.

1155
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 4: My mom melted down on me, and then I had

1156
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 4: to go put on I think it was red boxers

1157
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 4: and I had to wear them same thing for my

1158
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 4: wedding day. Yeah yeah, red red all day.

1159
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: So the two times he became a man.

1160
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's true, some might argue.

1161
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 2: As a voice crack.

1162
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we're absolutely pulling John away.

1163
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 2: From the Greeks.

1164
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: We have this bread and I don't necessarily remember what

1165
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: it's called, but it's this bread that has.

1166
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: Like a coin in it.

1167
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 3: And that sounds no, it's it's.

1168
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: Wrapped into aluminum foil. The coin.

1169
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: You take it into bread and you have to spin

1170
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: it like around a certain amount of times. This is

1171
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: a thing, spin around a certain amount of times, and

1172
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: then you make cuts in it based on how many

1173
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: people are there, as well as one cut for the house.

1174
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1175
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: So we always do that and whoever gets the coin,

1176
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: that's like, that's the good luck.

1177
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: I always get the coin.

1178
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 3: When I was at the game yesterday Tuesday night with

1179
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: my dad, we kept changing seats like every two wednings.

1180
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: Just to change the luck. Got to move down, change around.

1181
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 3: We tried today to Yeah, we did try.

1182
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: It.

1183
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 3: Took a walk to help.

1184
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 2: The visiting Spanish radio booth was not lucky.

1185
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: For us, but a comfortable place to watch a game

1186
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: great place, although my window would not stay open, so

1187
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: I got acorn box from the media room and mused it.

1188
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: The prop the window open, which I was shocked that

1189
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: it had the structural integrity to handle the window.

1190
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 3: Was he able to get lots of.

1191
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 2: Work done there?

1192
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 3: I'd love to just sit there like all day and

1193
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 3: like it's gonna do some of my other job and

1194
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 3: then do this. It's great.

1195
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh right, I think that's probably enough for

1196
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: superstition talk. We did tweet out that we want to

1197
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: do a mailbag with you, guys.

1198
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: We haven't done one in a while.

1199
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 3: Maybe take two.

1200
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: Take a couple questions for you. First one, let's start

1201
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: it off here. This comes from Turp seventeen TV. Shout

1202
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: out Dave personal friend. This one's more of a fun day.

1203
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: Get our other friend, Ernie. Can the Mets losses be

1204
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: tied to a certain Venezuelan who has a big string

1205
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: of losses attached him when he's attending games.

1206
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,959
Speaker 3: The answers yes, The answers yes quick. Yeah. We mentioned

1207
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: a couple episodes ago. We've converted our friend Ernie, who

1208
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 3: is the biggest Jonathan VR fan on earth. Everybody follow

1209
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 3: subtape underscore talking about Jonathan VR's really heartbroken. He's not

1210
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 3: really playing right now, so maybe try to cheer him

1211
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 3: up with some VR highlights.

1212
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: One of the few vrgers I've ever seen. Yeah, literally,

1213
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: and he has a your majority too, she sports proudly.

1214
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 3: But he was only a Marlins fan because I mean

1215
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 3: gol Cobret when he was a kid, because he was

1216
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 3: born in Venezuela, and then Cabrera wasn't there a team

1217
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 3: for the last like decade plus. Kind of hung on

1218
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 3: as his team for the last few years because he

1219
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: really thought they were making positive strides. These last couple

1220
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 3: of months have broken him, especially the DFA of Hayser's

1221
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 3: Agui Lar Fellow, another fellow Venezuela, and so he said

1222
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 3: he was done. He renounced his fandom. He's been coming

1223
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 3: to Mets games US for two full years now, coming

1224
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 3: to It's been like twenty games a year. Like he's

1225
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 3: really into a yarmy jersey of Vre jersey. We told

1226
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 3: him if he came before September first to be playoff eligible.

1227
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 3: He is almost entirely jinx this almost yeah, oh wait,

1228
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 3: we're getting ready to renounce his fandom.

1229
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: Push him off, to push him off the ledge. Ernie,

1230
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: we love you, but we gotta do what we gotta

1231
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: do sometimes. Yeah, we got another question here from Richie

1232
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: Dordas longtime listeners. Shout to you, Richie, we haven't talked

1233
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 1: to you in a while, so let's take your question.

1234
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: What would your suggestion be to spark the lineup? Mine

1235
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: would be to Battleonzo second. It seemed like the offense

1236
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: found something when he was in the spot. No stats

1237
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: to back it up, just eye test, James.

1238
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,959
Speaker 3: I think a big problem with the lineup right now

1239
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 3: is that just again everyone's saying it, you're not getting

1240
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 3: that much production out of Dhe Daniel will go Back

1241
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 3: doesn't have extra base hit since the Yankee series. Coincidentally,

1242
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 3: that's the exact same game he pulled up lame and

1243
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 3: seems to have a lower body issue. Just seems like

1244
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 3: probably I guess park there, so maybe something they were

1245
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: doing I believe in the Pittsburgh series and the bats

1246
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 3: actually got hot in the Marlins series two. Move the

1247
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 3: DH down the order, put McNeil's wow to put McNeil

1248
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 3: cannon in the middle of the order, just kind of

1249
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 3: stacked your best hitters bang Bank Bank one through five

1250
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: as much production as you canad have those guys and

1251
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 3: bomb he always hot, that turns over to them again.

1252
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.

1253
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: I do like the idea of a Lons hitting second,

1254
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: But I really do think with the way that the

1255
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: team is now without Marte, I like, I like Lindora

1256
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: or Alonzo second.

1257
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 3: Might take always as that put your best hitters as

1258
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 3: close as top of lineup as possible.

1259
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 2: McNeil would be my two in my opinion.

1260
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so McNeil two, Lindor three, Aluns of four yeah,

1261
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 3: and then can of five five.

1262
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: Five, and then you figure out who's hot at the time. Yeah,

1263
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: Ascobar is hitting so all right, and Nate Win too.

1264
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: Nick Win's between.

1265
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 4: Remember a lot of guys hitting in this lineup right now.

1266
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 4: And even then it's just like not.

1267
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 3: The same time. It's weird. It's like, ok, we can't

1268
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 3: get congruent hot streaks the last two weeks, but the other.

1269
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 4: Early in the in the Cup series, especially like Game one,

1270
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 4: they loaded the bases with no outs. Yeah, that hit

1271
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 4: didn't come, but.

1272
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: You know the first the first inning Game two, yeah, yeah,

1273
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: and you know a weird player where Nimmo was called

1274
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 1: out for getting a ball hit by him but the

1275
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: by law actually states that if there's not a defender

1276
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: that you're taking away from the play, you actually should

1277
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: not be called out, which I didn't know, but now

1278
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: that you when you explained it to me, it actually

1279
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: made a lot more so.

1280
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 3: Way Wayne pointed out, because there's no reason that it's

1281
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 3: just yeah, because I was always like you, no, whatever,

1282
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: you get it, and it's like, well, because you probably

1283
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 3: are in front of someone making no one there.

1284
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point.

1285
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 3: That was a weird one.

1286
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's just been like a weird It was

1287
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 4: a weird series.

1288
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: Even there's so many guys on base, some of the

1289
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 3: guys left on base, so many double plays. It was

1290
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 3: just weird. It just wasn't falling our way.

1291
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 4: Eventually it does. The Miami series, they scored twenty runs

1292
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 4: over the last two games. The Pittsburgh series, not big

1293
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 4: offensive out. This team is going to be fine.

1294
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

1295
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 4: Falling in this series it happened. Definitely not a long

1296
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 4: season season.

1297
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 2: I mean to bring up another one.

1298
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: We talked about this a little bit earlier, but this

1299
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: comes from Anthony Viola. The offense has been an issue

1300
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: since Martez left. He also felt like the pitching maybe

1301
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: hasn't held up as much. Got to realize offense can't

1302
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: score seven runs every single game when the pitching gives

1303
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: up five or six, don't you agree? And to that,

1304
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: I would say the pitching relatively up until this series,

1305
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: I feel like has been pretty solid. I mean, Bassett

1306
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: has like what third bats start of the year.

1307
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, de Gram had his first bad.

1308
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 3: I mean three of the quality start and it was

1309
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 3: also he broke a record small ball bs like, oh

1310
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 3: my god, yeah, he broke a record, I believe, a

1311
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 3: major league record thirty nine starts in a row with

1312
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 3: three earned runs or fewer.

1313
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: And like, Peterson definitely had a bad start today. No,

1314
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 2: he just lost the plate.

1315
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 3: But the issue Peterson always is and has been like command,

1316
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 3: Like the stuff is great that he just struck out

1317
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 3: the one bat that he got out, but just he

1318
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 3: couldn't find that strike zone. There were a couple of

1319
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 3: borderline calls, and I think too that if he was

1320
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 3: a guy who was around the strike zone probably probably

1321
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 3: have gotten them. What are you gonna do?

1322
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: And then the last question will take here comes from

1323
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: Elite Jets pod. Why is McGill going to the bullpen

1324
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: when he returns I thought he was a really good starter.

1325
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: Just can't see him being limited to a few innings

1326
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: per appearance. And James, you're the guy who's been also

1327
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: always saying McGill's gonna be great on a bullpen.

1328
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm'a let you take this.

1329
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 3: It just seemed like that McGill is significantly more effective

1330
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 3: when he's able to sustain that high nineties velocity. And

1331
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 3: even when he was going really well in the beginning

1332
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 3: of the year, by the time he got around the

1333
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 3: oiler like second or third time that loss, he was

1334
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 3: going from ninety eight ninety nine to ninety five ninety six.

1335
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 3: His fastball is getting hit harder. His commanded it was

1336
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 3: very good, but also the secondary still didn't get to

1337
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 3: the point where they were like really really, really good

1338
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: enough for guys to see him three times and kind

1339
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 3: of still be caught off guard. I still do think

1340
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 3: he has long term, tons of long term potential to

1341
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 3: start there, and I think you're gonna see him developed

1342
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 3: as a start through spring training in the off season,

1343
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 3: especially given the all the impending free agencies Mets rotation

1344
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 3: does have. But I do think now in this immediate window,

1345
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: getting another high leverage reliever a guy who could throw

1346
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 3: ninety to two hundred miles an hour. And also just

1347
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 3: because when we Go tried to come back to start

1348
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 3: there a few months ago, he immediately went back on

1349
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: the shelf. It just seems like he shouldn't be pushing

1350
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 3: it that hard immediately. And also just because that's not

1351
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 3: where the Mets holes are right now. The Mets still

1352
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 3: have four starters going through this rotation every single week

1353
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 3: who are extremely extremely reliable. With Max Scherzer do back

1354
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 3: anytime now. He's a very good rehab stint for Syracuse

1355
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 3: on Wednesday night. So I don't think starting pitching is

1356
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 3: even close to the Met's biggest issue right now. My

1357
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 3: one really negative cousin has been saying that he only

1358
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 3: started saying this two days ago. They're why weren't the

1359
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 3: Mets in the mix for Castio? The first of all,

1360
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 3: I don't even think the Mets had a prospect package

1361
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 3: that could have matched New York game. Literally take two

1362
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 3: top fifty prospects, like I don't think the Mets. I mean,

1363
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 3: unless the Mets want to trade literally out for as mbaby,

1364
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 3: they couldn't have done that.

1365
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 2: It would have been foolish.

1366
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 3: I mean that that is neither here nor there, but

1367
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 3: just that starting pitching isn't really issue, and I think

1368
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 3: the issue is making sure that you have a healthy

1369
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill in October. Yeah, and so give him one

1370
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 3: inning of a time, fifteen twenty pitches, maybe you can

1371
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 3: work up to thirty.

1372
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 2: Be a bulk guy, be an opener.

1373
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 3: That's the guy we're actually talking about pre show where

1374
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,919
Speaker 3: if you need someone, we're talking about how good Trevor

1375
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 3: Williams has been coming out of the bullpen for these

1376
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 3: medium stints, these three to four inextentts, and it seems

1377
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 3: like that might be the best spot for him.

1378
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 4: Is for sure follow up success in that.

1379
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: Role, Yeah, to follow up after an opener.

1380
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 3: So, and we were talking about that the Mets to

1381
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 3: kind of lack that reliever who's good enough to get

1382
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 3: through the top of the team's order comfortably, but not

1383
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 3: so great that you'd be scared to burn him early

1384
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:45,919
Speaker 3: instead of burning him late, like you having him opening

1385
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 3: a game pitch the first two winnings.

1386
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 2: Like Edwin Diaz would be the best opener in baseball,

1387
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 2: but then he.

1388
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 3: Just yeah, like Ryan Standek was famous for doing this

1389
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 3: in Tampa Bay because he throws gas and he's great.

1390
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 2: Tomer Regill could really be the stand ak.

1391
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, come in for two winnings, throw thirty something pitches,

1392
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 3: blow ninety nine mile and our fastball and dropping sliders

1393
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 3: out of these guys and be sick.

1394
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 2: And he's a very very different picture than Trevor Williams, even.

1395
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 3: Though they're both ride these which kind of kills stategy

1396
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 3: a little bit, but just how different those guys are

1397
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 3: might make that kind of cool.

1398
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: A lot of you guys did chime in with questions.

1399
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: Obviously we can't get to all of them. We do

1400
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: appreciate you. We're gonna try and do more mail bags

1401
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, especially as we get towards

1402
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: the end of it. But thank you guys as always

1403
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: for interacting with us on Twitter. We really do appreciate it.

1404
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna wrap up this episode here by

1405
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 1: giving you a little preview on the Pirates.

1406
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: We did see them what.

1407
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 3: Like last week, literally a week ago, and it's kind

1408
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 3: of funny. It's kind of the unstoppable for us versus

1409
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 3: immovable object. The Pirates have won four games in a row.

1410
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 3: The Mets have lost three games in a row. The

1411
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: Pirates have not won five games in are all year.

1412
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 3: The Mets have not lost four games are all year.

1413
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 3: So I am tempting fate here, but we gotta trust

1414
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 3: in the laws of averages.

1415
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: Yes, something's gonna happen. Yeah, today techn me when you

1416
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 1: guys are listen to us on Thursday. No, even today,

1417
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: we're recording it. Yeah, it is midnight, it is twelve

1418
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: to twenty five. This is I think a new record

1419
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: for the last we've been here at the park.

1420
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too. But in terms of recording

1421
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 2: as far.

1422
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 3: As the matchups go, Thursday Night seven to twenty, which

1423
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 3: is weird you lose those ten minutes the Fox game

1424
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 3: Carls carrasco versus JT. Brubaker, Friday Night seven ten fireworks

1425
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 3: DJs anything.

1426
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 4: Fireworks, yes, DJ. And also Thursday night's game pregame Roberto

1427
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 4: Clemente ceremony, Mets pirates. It's Roberto Clemente Day around the league.

1428
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 4: All the players will be wearing twenty one. It's obviously

1429
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 4: fifty years since Roberto Clemente tragically passed.

1430
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 3: There will be the players of all time.

1431
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 4: It will be a nice pregame ceremony before the game,

1432
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,479
Speaker 4: and also a lot of really really cool players back

1433
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 4: Carlos Delgado, Carlos Beltran, Chrys Sanderson, uh for Mets World

1434
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 4: will be here. And then let me ask you this,

1435
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 4: Jimmy Rollins is going to be here. You won the

1436
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 4: award I think in twenty fourteen.

1437
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 3: Be kidding me.

1438
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 4: Jimmy Rollins gonna.

1439
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: Get bude, Yeah, you can get thinks throw it.

1440
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 2: I have to boot Jimmy Rollins. I can't. I can't

1441
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 2: clap for the guy. Good guy for.

1442
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 3: Sure, playing charity works the guides, but.

1443
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, usually he's a Philly Rights MVP. Wrongfully, the worst

1444
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: MVP given out in the while besides the nineteen eighty

1445
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: seven NFL and if we looked back before, John Elway

1446
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,479
Speaker 1: won the nineteen eighty seven NFL MVP with a fifty

1447
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: five percent completion percentage, nineteen passing touchdowns, and thirty five

1448
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards.

1449
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 3: Jerry Rice came in second with twenty two receiving.

1450
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 2: Touches, significantly better.

1451
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 3: Ridiculous, But yeah, those are two of the worst MVPs

1452
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 3: given out in the last couple of decades.

1453
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: But I didn't know that those guys would be there.

1454
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 2: There's a chance I'm there.

1455
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 3: It's it's night. I think you said you were going

1456
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 3: for sure I could.

1457
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: I am, but now my dad found someone who could

1458
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: be the third ticket, so I don't have to necessarily go.

1459
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: But also I want to hang out right here.

1460
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I have cool, have lot of like the

1461
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 3: Port Rican heritage in the ballpark, especially with the big

1462
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 3: Port of Rican contingency.

1463
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 4: Frodg'll be here too, Pudge Nice, a lot.

1464
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: Of good baseball players. Carl Stogato should be in the

1465
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame as well. I should be another part

1466
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: of that Hall of Famer list. Friday Night, seven to

1467
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: ten Taiwan Walker versus Mitch Keller. We had a very

1468
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 1: frustrating adding against Mitch Keller last week where he didn't

1469
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: strike us out. We gave Leamy said to a ton

1470
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: of ground balls and found gloves. He's he's in a

1471
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: real groove right now. He's actually probably pitching the best

1472
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: he ever has in his career. Sick.

1473
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 3: He's one of those guy who stores nine seven miles

1474
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 3: an hour and he hopes it goes where he wants

1475
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 3: it to.

1476
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't really know where, but that kind of works sometimes.

1477
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeahh he's effective.

1478
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then Saturday another night game weird Saturday night

1479
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 3: game Chris Basst versus Bryce Wilson. We saw we were

1480
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 3: able to do the Bryce Wilson last week and our

1481
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 3: lips there Sunday Mattinee simple Man.

1482
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 2: Got packed the ballpark for this game.

1483
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 3: Jacob the Ground for johann O Via though I think

1484
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 3: I was probably gonna set the new record for the

1485
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 3: season biggest moneyline favorite for the Mets that the met

1486
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 3: Jacob the Ground keeps starting, keeps breaking starry after start.

1487
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 3: Lost two of them, so hopefully it's not the same.

1488
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:24,919
Speaker 1: A little bit of quality Met fans. Not enough people

1489
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,760
Speaker 1: here the last few nights. Yeah, really shockingly empty. Shockingly

1490
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: empty for a team that is in first place in

1491
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: a pennant race, playing the Cubs, who are also like

1492
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: a popular team.

1493
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 2: I know they're not very good, even though they just swept.

1494
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: Us Chicago people in New York, but I would expect it

1495
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: to have been a little more crowded.

1496
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 2: Shockingly empty.

1497
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't empty. It was still I think,

1498
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: like twenty thousand or so, but you'd think there would

1499
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: be more. So if you're there, come to the ballpark,

1500
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: come hang out, come watch baseball. Mets are playing some really,

1501
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: really important games. Don't worry about who they're playing. You're

1502
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,879
Speaker 1: here to watch the Mets. They need some energy from fans.

1503
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: They definitely need a little bit of energy and hopefully

1504
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: guys can help them.

1505
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 2: Out with that.

1506
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 3: Absolutely, bring the juice, bring the vibes again. This big

1507
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 3: episode about flushing it that out, bringing some good stuff in.

1508
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 2: Yes, this is the last we want to talk about this.

1509
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully the next episode will be all positives because the

1510
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: Mets will have a nice series victory against the Pirates.

1511
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,399
