15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: now that we've we've thought about Bishette for a few days.

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: Feeling good?

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: This felt like the first time before an episode of

18
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: the video that we've actually been able to kind of

19
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: prep a little bit and catch our breadth because it

20
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: felt like the last basically the whole calendar month like

21
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: since since Edward ds I with the Dodgers. It's just

22
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: been kind of pandemonium the entire time, but it's been

23
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: fun to kind of like digest the Bashett thing. I

24
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: think now, especially more so on Friday, I'm significantly significant

25
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: more excited about it, especially with the fit the player,

26
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: like the contract, everything now is making me kind of

27
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: feel like a little bit, a little bit a little

28
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: giddy about this.

29
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there was ever a moment where

30
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: I was like upset that we signed Bobaschett. I know that. Yeah,

31
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: it was more shocked, and I know people were dogging

32
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: me for saying I would have had Pilanso over Bobaschett,

33
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: and that's fine. I stand by my take. But like,

34
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: at the same time, Bobachett is a good ball player.

35
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm my biggest question is not gonna be whether he

36
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: hits or how well he hits. It's really about playing

37
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: third base again, because just we've heard so much about

38
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: defense and how that's been so important this offseason. That

39
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: was David Stern's thing. The entire offseason is about defense, defense, defense,

40
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: and we took a guy who didn't play the position

41
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: he played his entire career well defensively and now we're

42
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: putting out a position he's never played professionally, Like I

43
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: am yeah, talk about Y Polanco and Bobachett like we're

44
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: doing it with two guys. That's that's the interesting thing

45
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: to me here. That's the only thing that makes me

46
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: have any sort of reservation. But also like true to me,

47
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't I don't give a shit actually about the

48
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: defense at all. I have Bobachette, which is like he

49
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: has I'm gonna be very happy. Yeah.

50
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: And also the worst case scenario is like, oh, we

51
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: can't play third he just DH.

52
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's my take is I think he's gonna

53
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: end up being the main DH on this team.

54
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: Actually this year, I think he could probably hang at

55
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: third base. Like we've had a lot of reports out

56
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: there that just Boba Schett's his It seems like a

57
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: lot of the problems for him are very shortstop specific.

58
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: It was just the fact he had to move both directions,

59
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: Like third base is hard though, because you have to

60
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: figure out if you're going in your staying back, like

61
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: that's a totally new thing.

62
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: The like yes and no, he's still charge. You still

63
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: charge a lot of balls at shortstop.

64
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: It's it's different reactions short compared to third.

65
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: That also, like the positive thing too is now having

66
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: Kai Korea. He's our bench coach, right, I think, yeah,

67
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: bench coach, and yeah he's the fielding guy. He made J. D.

68
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Davis into a competent third baseman, and that guy played

69
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: third base about the worst that I've ever seen when

70
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: he was with the Mets. So the fact that he

71
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: was able to get him to be much better defensively

72
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: for a guy who really had no business playing in

73
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: the position, I'm sure it's gonna be fine with Bashett.

74
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: I am just interested to see what that looks like.

75
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 2: Kai Kra probably is the most under not underrated because

76
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: we an't know, we can't rate yet nothing happened, probably

77
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: the least talked about, most important thing that's happening inside

78
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: the Mets world that maybe us as the public are

79
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: a little bit not as key in with.

80
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: It.

81
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: Feels like the Mets have a supreme confidence in changing

82
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: players positions this offseason, like something that you will only

83
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: do in MLB the show, or like FIFA swap the

84
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: wings and you're getting You lose a little bit those

85
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: the chemistry points. But I think there is something to

86
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: like the Mets just must have. The defensive metrics that

87
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: these teams have internally are so much different, I think,

88
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: probably better than what we're getting ourselves between o AA,

89
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: TRS US are. So they have to have some kind

90
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: of key indication that they know that these things can

91
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: actually work, like they can pull this stuff off. And

92
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: I think that's probably them working with that kind of

93
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: confidence again gives me more confidence. And also one of

94
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: the best stories that happened last week before the chaos began,

95
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: we spoke about this, but the great videos that went

96
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: around with Brett Baity, Jet Williams, Marcus Semian working out

97
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: together in that field in Texas. Yes, apparently that was

98
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: set up by Kai Korea like Kai Kraai like has

99
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: him and Semi and have been speaking about like what

100
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: to do with this team, and that they kind of

101
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: organized that workout with those three guys purposefully intentionally, and

102
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: that was like Brett Baby and one of Will Salmon's

103
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: articles this week and Will and again three Banger articles

104
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: unbelievable forty eight hours, every single one more illuminating than

105
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: the last. But first of the bashette as well, first

106
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: of the Bashett and Drop the note. There's a cool

107
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: quick aside here. So Will's been talking all about the

108
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: Mets this whole offseason. Every He's been on the top

109
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: of every single move, every single rumor, everything. And in

110
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: this article on the Athletic over the weekend, he mentioned

111
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: if the Mets had reached out to Bashett for the

112
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: first time back in November at the meetings, and that

113
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: there was a connection with these guys the whole time,

114
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: but it was kept very quiet. They even had very

115
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: substantial meetings last week before the Kyle Tucker stuff was

116
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: going down. Sick by Will to hold that close to

117
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: the vest, because for that to get public, that would

118
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: push that would make the Phillies have pushed harder, and

119
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: you wouldn't been able to kind of swoop in and

120
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: do this at the last second. So it's very very

121
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: cool to see that Will had this incredibly juicy tidbit

122
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: that would have gotten him tons and tons of clicks

123
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: if he put it out any moment over the last

124
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: two months, held it team got to make the move

125
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: kind of probably with that added leverage.

126
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially because we know that the Phillies Bob Baschett

127
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: asked for six six for two hundred or something like that.

128
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: Seven for two hundred. The Phillies gave it to him

129
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: and he said, actually, never mind, I'm gonna go to

130
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: the Mets. I want to go. I want the Mets

131
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: to offer a little bit more. Because he got the

132
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: one year opt out, he got the opt after year two.

133
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Like if if the Phillies knew, or maybe if it

134
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: was more public information, maybe that offer changes. Maybe he's

135
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: playing for Philadelphia and it is huge not only to

136
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: get Bashett onto this team, but also to make sure

137
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: he's not playing in Philly too, like he would have

138
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: been a great spend that lineup.

139
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again that that's probably where a little bit

140
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: of this aggressiveness came. And I do think that us,

141
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: like a lot of people, when the news dropped, it

142
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: kind of felt like a panic move, like a reaction

143
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: not signing Coyle Sucker. But it's nice to know that

144
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: there was like seemingly the concepts of a plan to

145
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: get both of these guys crazy, which that would have

146
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: been talked about a news dump right.

147
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: There, Oh, genius dumpster Dave was almost gonna spend three

148
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars.

149
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: Like that, and like this is there's reason to believe

150
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: This could be the most player friendly contract in the

151
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: history of baseball.

152
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, this is I mean like Bregman's was pretty

153
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: close to it and had to firend. Yes, Juan Soto's

154
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: is probably the number one. But I think if one

155
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: got seven hundred and fifty million dollars or fifteen years,

156
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: that's the best contract that's ever been given to a

157
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: human on the face of the earth. I will knock

158
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: that one off. This one.

159
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: The fact that he can opt out after one year

160
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: while being like the sixth or seventh player all time

161
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: to make forty two million dollars in the seasons with

162
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: no deferrals and a full no trade clause. And there

163
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: is that clause that we're kind of waiting for clarification

164
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: on what was called the opt out bonus. Will didn't

165
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: reference any of that in his pieces. I DM's Will

166
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: ask him what actually was the if we could validate that,

167
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: and he said not yet. So I'm all right, we're

168
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: gonna keep it out of there. But that's gonna be

169
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: something that's going to be fun to see when the

170
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: official announcement comes, hopefully this week.

171
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Yes, but uh, like overall, let's talk now a little

172
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: bit about what bobashit does to this team because we

173
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: briefly talked about in our reaction and one thing that

174
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: we were like, does he hit second? Does he hit third?

175
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: What kind of way do we I kind of like third.

176
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking myself into third because he's just so hyper

177
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: contact focused and the fact that Lindor and Sodo we're

178
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna get on base at such an elite rate, especially Sodo,

179
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna have one, if not two guys on in

180
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: front of him most of the time when he comes

181
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: to the plate. For a guy who does hit for

182
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: average hit over three hundred last year, that feels like

183
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: a really easy way. While we're not gonna probably be

184
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: able to recoup necessarily the power that we lost from

185
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: this team last year, but in terms of like run

186
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: scoring ability, RBIs in this lineup. If Bobashev hits three

187
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: eleven in the number three spot or hits two ninety,

188
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna drive in one hundred and ten runs.

189
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, that's how That's how the Blue Jays

190
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: used him, especially the playoffrunt. He was hitting fourth for

191
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: them every single game, which is, you know, second leadof spots.

192
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: That's something to keep in mind. There, But just get

193
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: stack as many guys on base as you can in

194
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: front of this guy because he has he has an

195
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: ability that those other guys don't have. Friend in front

196
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: of the program at Eddie dm us talking about that

197
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 2: on whoever it drops, just like he's there. Probably isn't

198
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: a better contrasting player talent wise for wat So in

199
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: all of baseball. Yeah, like here you have the uber

200
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: pation left handed slugger is gonna walk more to anybody

201
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: in the game, possibly right behind if you're going to

202
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: have a right handed hit or who swings at every

203
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: single pitch and just ready to put the ball in

204
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: play no matter where it goes, doesn't care about pulling

205
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: the ball, doesn't care about shut like. That's it's fun

206
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: stacked those guys together right now.

207
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: It's also it's funny seeing all the Blue Jays fans

208
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: like messaging us and telling us they're like, good luck

209
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: with Bop, keep them safe. But also at the same time,

210
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna love him and there's gonna be times where

211
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to rip your hair out because like

212
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: you said, he will just swing at everything. He is

213
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: not interested in walking. He's putting that ball in play

214
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: as much as he physically can in for a lot

215
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: of Mets fans who clamored that this team didn't do

216
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: that enough last year. Perfect, this is perfect for them.

217
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: And there's also just like there's something about the way

218
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: this entire offseason's gone about seemingly the types of players

219
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: the mes have wanted to add to this clubhouse. Everyone

220
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: says incredible things about Marcus Smi, and there's been that

221
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: story going around this winter that Marcus Semi was trying

222
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: his hardest during the season to get the Rangers together

223
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: and too many of the players were like, no, basically,

224
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: it's just so lame, like trying to organize. Yeah, like

225
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: team Beers, team Dinners, like stuff like that. Like everyone

226
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: says that stuff with Hori Polanco too, And one of

227
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: the quotes from this the Samuraco gots me where he is,

228
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: as one team source put it exactly the type of

229
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: guy we want on our team and we kind of

230
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: poo pooed. The idea in the beginning of the off

231
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 2: seasons came from the Fraw You Kids podcast Baseball Prospectus

232
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: Jared Sidler, Jeffrey Batler, Rostro that David Searns was enamored

233
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: by Boba Schet. Like, when the offseason began, wanted to

234
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 2: find to way squeeze on this team. We were like,

235
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: how the world's gonna fit in this team? And we

236
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: found the way squeezehim on this team.

237
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's position he's never played before. We should

238
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: have considered that he would have played a position that

239
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: he's literally never even taken one rep professionally at. He

240
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: just did that in the World Series maginage. But he

241
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: played second base in the miners. He literally never even

242
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: played a single pitch at third base in the miners.

243
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: And I don't think you're taking that far off that

244
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: him playing third base might be the strangest part about this,

245
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 2: especially just because he's for years running he's basically the

246
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: worst defensive short stop in the league.

247
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: But don't don't tell the don't tell some people. They

248
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: they they're like, he's actually not that bad. No, he's

249
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: horrible at the short side.

250
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: That was the first time I tangled the Blue Jays

251
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: fans two off seasons ago, and I I said, like,

252
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: this guy, people are trying to call him the top

253
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: five shortop league.

254
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: He's definitely not even close because the defense. But I

255
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: like this there's.

256
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: Guys like who don't have the strongest arms. The third

257
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: base Alex Bagman was one of the best defensive third

258
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: base league.

259
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a very strong arm, and like Io

260
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: now doesn't have a strong arm, still grade to well defensively.

261
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: And like the run prevention thing keeps coming up. You

262
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: led with it the fact that fans everywhere like, what's.

263
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: Actually the goal here?

264
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: I do think that if you played short stop, I

265
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: think you could probably play other positions.

266
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: Well, I just love I'm banking on that one, James,

267
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: What do I need to tell you about the guy

268
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: who's got one hundred pounds cinderblocks for feet that had

269
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: played third base the last couple of years. Fo No,

270
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: you plicked the seventeen years old, very late short He

271
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: was a shortstop at one point. They all were in

272
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: high school. Oh yeah, everyone starts as a short stop.

273
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: But again, like maybe, like again, the joke is that

274
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: the Mets are building his whole team of second basement.

275
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: Maybe we're just building a whole team of shortstops because

276
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: where all these guys started. So it's nice that it's

277
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: true if you did play shorts up here to do this.

278
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: Another cool note from Will apparently Mendoza coach Baschett's brother

279
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: in the Yankee system.

280
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: Oh Dante, yeah, Junior, Yeah, he was a horrible player,

281
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: but said.

282
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: There was like a nice little piece of connection there

283
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: that they actually had something to kind of talk about

284
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: their help to help those meetings go. And does it

285
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: kind of feel like this Mets team is pushing to

286
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: be more contact oriented a little bit?

287
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: I think that they probably it's not even necessarily about

288
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: being contact oriented. I think one of the things that

289
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: we spoke about a lot on the podcast last year

290
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: was that too passive. There was a passivity at times

291
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: at the plate where Bobaschet's probably the complete opposite of that.

292
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: If there's a pitch down the middle, he is going

293
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: to take a war hack at it. He doesn't get cheated.

294
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: He almost has like hmm, no, I won't say, but

295
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: he's almost heavier by asking that he's gonna go up

296
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: there and he's gonna be soa squat. Yeah, he's he's

297
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: taking hacks where a lot of the guys last year

298
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: on this Mets team, how many times did we see

299
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: a pitch down the middle where we're like jump on it,

300
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: like be ready? It felt like at times the METS

301
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: weren't ready to do damage.

302
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 4: Nobody likes a bloated cell phone bill. It can consume you,

303
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: it can take over, it can be very annoying. So

304
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: I know that twenty twenty five ended Crafts and that's

305
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: when you have your end of your sales, but there

306
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 4: actually is still one sale that is running until the

307
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 4: end of the month.

308
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: Mid Mobile they still have their fifty percent off their

309
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: unlimited premium wireless offer that you got to go and

310
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: get and take advantage of him because it's not necessarily

324
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: But both still does. He still avoids strikeouts. Again, he

325
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: will chase. He'll have some of the worst swings and

326
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: missing chases that we're ever gonna see in our lives. This

327
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: year we're gonna have to deal with that. But I

328
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: think the play that kind of like was the foreshadowing

329
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: to the Mets offseason was it was against the National

330
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: second to last week of the year. We had the

331
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: two guys on the ninth and Nimo struck out like

332
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: on three pitches. All you do is put the ball

333
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: by that game, and it kind of felt like that.

334
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: And again like Nimmo and Alonzo especially not McNeil lit

335
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: were like big strikeout guys, like they sat around league

336
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: gabage with their strikeout rates. But guys like Bashett, Sami

337
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: and Clacka last year with the greatest, the greatest the

338
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: shrinking of a strike out rate in history in major

339
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: legue baseball, what season to the next? Like these are

340
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: low strikeout guys like there's and we talk about this

341
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: all the time.

342
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: I think also were so.

343
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: On the wind up with that lineups. You love having

344
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: guys that do different things in the line up together.

345
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: So the fact that.

346
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: There are different archetypes of Solo Lindor and now Bishett

347
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: as your top three hitters, like that's a fun thing

348
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: to have forced pitchers the game plan against.

349
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and even look at what the Blue Jays

350
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: did last year with that lineup where Bo's coming from,

351
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: Like that was that was a hyper contact. Folks lined

352
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: it hyper hyper and vlad gird Junior obviously brings the

353
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: pop and George Springer brought the pop last year. But

354
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: even like looking at the Dodgers, they have a bunch

355
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: of guys that do different things. Like obviously they have

356
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: some of the best players on the planet, but they

357
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: were playing like Mickey row at times, they were playing

358
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Andy Paz. Those were guys who were not anything similar

359
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: to all the other good hitters that they have on

360
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: their team, but they did serve a role on a purpose.

361
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: And this also brings it back now to where Brett

362
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: Baby kind of lands in this whole thing, because I

363
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: think just the fact of how Ken Rosendal tweeted about

364
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: the other day that there was like the fact that

365
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: he mentioned Brett Baity and trade in one of the

366
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: initial tweets about Bobaschet that kind of got everyone's brain turning.

367
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: But the Brett Baty for Jarons rand room kind of

368
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: got started by wildfire because it does make logical sense.

369
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: But I really want to keep Brett Batty still I

370
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: do too. I do not want to trade this guy.

371
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: He is pure insurance across the board. Like there's no

372
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: no baseball team has ever had the problem of too

373
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: many capable players, never never had its never been an

374
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: issue before the fact that Baty. Like just the way

375
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: he picked up second base last year, I'm like, you could.

376
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: Probably pick up first right, could probably pick up left,

377
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: Like he's a good acthute.

378
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: He played thirty games and left in the miners. Like

379
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: there was that clip that went back around from Syracuse

380
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: when he's liken the guy down from left field to home,

381
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: Like don't I don't really want Brett Baby paying left

382
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: field opening day? But like he just Brett Baty's gotten

383
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: to himself to a point with me where it's like

384
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: I just believe in what he can do next, Like

385
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: the toughness, the pliability, Like I know he's got something

386
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: with him.

387
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: It seems like he's gonna be the McNeil role. And

388
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: also like, and people are saying that now too with

389
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: Brett Batty, Like, so someone is going to get hurt.

390
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: There's going to be someone that gets hurt at some point.

391
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: He's a very injury prone team right now, go super

392
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: injury prone team. Bobachet and his bad knees. Hori Palako

393
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: has been hurt like every single year. Marcus Imian's old Like,

394
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be guys and you know what, They're also

395
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna be days off and there's gonna be matchups. And

396
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: I think that something that we've talked about that we

397
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: thought the Mets did well, Like in twenty twenty four.

398
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: You've got to use every roster spot on this team, yeah,

399
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: and have a purpose and have some value. And last

400
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: year there were a lot of spots where guys were redundant,

401
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: guys didn't really serve a purpose, and at times we're like,

402
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: not even really a major League baseball player right now

403
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: is filling the spot where I think right now, like

404
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: while Brett Baty might not have a starting spot on

405
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: opening Day, probably still gets five hundred played appearances and

406
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,239
Speaker 1: probably still gonna be a pretty valuable player for this team.

407
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: And there's definitely a difference in the way the Mets

408
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: view a guy like Baby, who again seems like he

409
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: low key in the short term might there's got to

410
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: push to have a spot when you compare it to

411
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: like the comment I sent you on Twitter with Nico Hornet,

412
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna give up some days off so you know,

413
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: sean young kid get up playing time. No, like it

414
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: seems they hate that guy if they do not like

415
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: him in that clubhouse seemingly, and I really just can't

416
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: figure out why, but it's there. There's just something to

417
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: having a glue guy like Baby on the roster who's

418
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: left handed hit, their all platoon advantages, and like it's

419
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: seems like these.

420
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: Guys are ready to ride for him.

421
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: He's like that that was cool when they went to

422
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: do that work out again, Like saying that again, like

423
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: the younks taking over and flip side of that too,

424
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: like Boba Che's probably only here one.

425
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,479
Speaker 1: Year pretty much like the only way is here two years. Truthfully,

426
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: something has to go catastrophically wrong for him where he

427
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: can't opt out or just or or really want baseball

428
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: crazy mega lockout and he's like, you know, what I'm

429
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: just gonna I'm gonna take my forty two million and

430
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: play sixty games with the Mets this year.

431
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: I'll say this about that too, Like, do you think

432
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: these guys would be signing these crazy short term high

433
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: av contracts if they thought they were missing games next

434
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: year and losing more money per game miss than they

435
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: would have?

436
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think so you still want that security. Like,

437
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if there is a

438
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: lockout and let's say the seasons one hundred games, obviously

439
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: your contract's gonna get pro rated or however they work

440
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: that out. It's probably like the off season is gonna

441
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: be a mess too. You don't want to be a

442
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: free agent in a lockout offseason. If there's an opportunity

443
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: for Bobush if he plays well, he's gonna opt out, obviously.

444
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: But like, at the same time, let's pretend it is

445
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: so bad, and let's pretend baseball doesn't start until June, Like,

446
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: you don't really want your off season to be because

447
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: the lockout would happen what like in late September or

448
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: early December. Yeah, so you don't want your off season

449
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: to basically be like three weeks and then possibly start

450
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: up again in April or May.

451
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, not wrong about that at all, and it is

452
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: I also like the idea that everyone was like and

453
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: we kind of played to this too because that was

454
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: our instant reaction, but turned out now knowing the reporting

455
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: wasn't true, like a panic move by the Mets, then

456
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: everyone really conveniently forgot the fact that no team panicked

457
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 2: more than the Philadelphia Phillies, who paid thirty five year

458
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: ol j th real Muto fifteen milli year for three years.

459
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: Like moments after the Bobachheit news broke, we were joking

460
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: about like the guys that were happy, like when Ragers

461
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: wore has got that contract Framer Valdez. People were celebrating

462
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker getting paid, everyone celebrating nobody's happier than Jay

463
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: thro Muto. He's like, he's like, the Mets just signed

464
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: a shortstop to play a position he never had and

465
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: I got a three year deal out of it. How

466
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: did that work? Literally?

467
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: Literally how did that work? And again, it's very fun

468
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: that we got to steal Bobachhet from the Phillies and Hessie.

469
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: Also the fallout of the Phillies people getting really pissed

470
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: off about it, but.

471
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome that they're gonna hate Bobaschett's guts.

472
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: I love that. We that's like great, they're going to yes,

473
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: oh great for the river, but they're gonna boo bo.

474
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna boo bo. That's just chanting his name, boo bo.

475
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: It's it's it's fun right now as you think that,

476
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 2: there's also conversations that would be fun to have about

477
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: the Mets planned direction. I had a huge argument my

478
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 2: buddy Ryan in a group chat on Friday talking.

479
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: About shout out Ryan.

480
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: Shout Ryan, right guy, shout out Brendan too, Hopefully listeners.

481
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: Brendan shot Brend's the man. But there's like Brett Baty.

482
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 2: As much as we love Brett Baby, and I think

483
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: still almost no one loves Bret Bady more than.

484
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: You and I like, no, now we're the number one.

485
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe his his fiance, that's probably his parents, mother

486
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: and father.

487
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: Like we've been leaning the breath Baby fan club for

488
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 2: years now. He's still wasn't a sure thing going into

489
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: the season, like he we like to think.

490
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: That like that Brett Baby was a pretty sure thing.

491
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 2: But he has like hundred good major league games under

492
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: his belt and a one hundred and fifty bad ones,

493
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 2: So it's like it could have still gotten in both directions.

494
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: So for the people that are maybe frustrated about the

495
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: Mets plan blocking young players or just like kind of

496
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: like looking talking at both sides of their mouths, like

497
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: the Mets got something way more certain for something that

498
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: was a bigger question mark in the starting lineup, and

499
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: they got better forward and they got deeper for it.

500
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: So it's it's fun to see us like still pushing

501
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: chips in after it kind of felt like we'd recede

502
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: back after the Kyle Tucker thing. We also don't have

503
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: a DH still, so like, yeah, no, this space for

504
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: all these guys. And something that like we've always talked

505
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: about too is that unless you're having like the Kyle

506
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: Schwarbers show Heyo tany like those kind of DH players,

507
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: it is a position that probably should be a little

508
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: more fluid, Like you.

509
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: Don't want to like one of the biggest issues last year.

510
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: And this is gonna sound probably crazy to bring up,

511
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: like Jesse Winker basically being on the team only to

512
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: DH and we know he can't play the outfield. That

513
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: kind of ham strongly team a little bit because you

514
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: now roster wise like and it's hard to put Jesse

515
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: Winker in the game in the outfield because you can't

516
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: put him in a close game because you can't play

517
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: that position. So having DHB opened it allows for kind

518
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: of half days off. It allows for a guy like

519
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 1: Brett Bady and Boba Schett to be in the lineup

520
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: still every single day if you really wanted to, if

521
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: you're worried about the left handed you know, arm or whatever.

522
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: This also gives Mark Vento's now an option to maybe

523
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: be the DH I'm still not crazy about it, but possibly.

524
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: I think he might get squeezed out of this roster

525
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: sooner than later. But he's been squeezed out, yeah, because

526
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: I everyone talks about Brett Baty losing playing time, like

527
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: Mark Fiento's has gotta be on another team by opening dead,

528
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: there's no shot now like Brett Bady could force his

529
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: way into playing time.

530
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 2: Because still, this is a conversation we had last year

531
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: Beta versus Fianto's when that was still kind of like

532
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: we don't know who's going to win out the job

533
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: for that season.

534
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: And we were still kind of the baby side, which

535
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: is crazy yeah, I mean we did.

536
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 2: That was one of our ball takes that the preseason

537
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: that Baty would have a better season, that Mark.

538
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Vano's worth more f wor and everyone thought that was crazy.

539
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: But again, no matter how you slice it, and this

540
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: will problem we go through the rest of the off season,

541
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: Brett Bay is still probably the best third base defender

542
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: in this team. Yes, so if you're the best third

543
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 2: if you're the best defender and they position on your

544
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: team and you can hit, and he can hit, Brett

545
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: Bay can hit everything. We saw in the second half,

546
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: we believe it's like there's a good chance he does

547
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: force his way into playing time. And again like Bobashet,

548
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: Horiy Polanco, very injured dudes. Yes, bad knees, bad ankles

549
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: on those guys, So like something is just probably going

550
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: to happen. So it's just it's nice to have a

551
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 2: good guy that can glue the entire roster together.

552
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I'm excited. I'm definitely liking the Boba set

553
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: move more and more as the days gone. It's just

554
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: it is insane that he's going to make more money

555
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: than Aaron Judge next year.

556
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that there's also something going on here. Where

557
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: it's kind of change in the way some of these

558
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: big market teams seem to be thinking. We talk about

559
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 2: a lot how finite roster spots are and how important

560
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: they are, and like, especially the way Will framed the

561
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: big article about it was like the Mets knew they

562
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: needed a star. Didn't matter who what position this guy played,

563
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 2: they had to squeeze in a very high level player.

564
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: And that's because part of the reason you lose lose

565
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: star level hitting production. But the way that Kyle Tucker

566
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: negotiation went crazy, and the way this Bobashet thing came

567
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 2: together for this crazy aav and the way that seemingly

568
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 2: open open, seemingly open minded to do this with both

569
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: Fraan Bravaldez and Cody Bellinger, Yeah, thats it continues, Like

570
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 2: it's we kind of have to throw out a lot

571
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: of the ways that we talk about the value free

572
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: agent contracts because like, these teams don't fucking care.

573
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, a short term they definitely don't care, not at all.

574
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: Like and that's again the bigger market teams, but also

575
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: these smaller market teams could totally take advantage of this

576
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: exact same kind of pay structure. And like the again

577
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians could do this, they would still have

578
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: one of the twenty lowest payrolls in all of baseball,

579
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: and their team would get infinitely better. They'd run away

580
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: with the American League Central. No, it's but there's just

581
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: because a lot of times people like talk about dollar

582
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: per war and all this stuff, and like, oh, ten

583
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: million dollar per war, like eleven million dollars poor, eight

584
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: million dollars poor, or you'd like wind up with that calculation.

585
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: But like the Dodgers, we don't give a fuck, Like

586
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: we're giving a four we're giving a four or five

587
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: win player, sixty million dollars doesn't matter. And that's we're

588
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: giving a three, four win player forty two million dollars

589
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. It's like this is the market is is

590
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 2: going to be irrational when you only have a few

591
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 2: good players available like that, and like if the good

592
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: teams want guys, they got to get that. But I'm

593
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: still like I still left this weekend being like I'm

594
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: knowing we were completely used for leverage on Kyle Tucker.

595
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: Of course, I was still very happy that we were

596
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: gunning for him, Like we really want to do everything

597
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: we can to get this guy in our team and offered.

598
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: Him an insane amount of money, so like we offered

599
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: him also one of the most player friend of the

600
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: contract the history of baseball too, but like it does feel.

601
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: Like the one thing that changed the panic of the

602
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: Panic move after missing Kyle Tucker was letting Bobashett opt

603
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: out after one year, which again is fucking crazy, but

604
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: they're thinking about it.

605
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: They also said they felt like they had to because

606
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: the Phillies gave him what he wanted, Like, fine, will

607
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: give me the one your opt I was like, okay, well, yeah, deal, yeah.

608
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't wait spend here in Queens like

609
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: I do. Like hearing the Blue Jays fans talking about

610
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: Boba sheet. I went on local Toronto radio television.

611
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: I went local news on Friday. But like, these guys

612
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: love Bobashett. They did, they loved Bobashett. I can't wait

613
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: to get a guy in my team that these other

614
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: fans love so much. And from what I'm seeing from

615
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: the Mets fans that hate my guts, they love Bobashet too.

616
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: Where based on my comments, I mean, let you want

617
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: to hash that out real quickly.

618
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 2: Let's the first little teaser at the media Marvel Mark

619
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 2: going on foul Territory on Friday with our guys FT

620
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: fan saying that he'd rather have p Alonzo than Boba

621
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: Schett and you got you got a viscerated.

622
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: And I'm and I'm right, I stand by that. But

623
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: p Alonso is a better hitter. It's just Bobaschet does

624
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: the thing that I think is really easy for the

625
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: fan to be like, that's better, and that's he hits.

626
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: He hit three eleven, so all those kind of baseball

627
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: fans are like three eleven, he's a better hitter. But

628
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: then we know Peede Alonzo HiT's about thirty more home

629
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: runs a year. So like, I give you the power

630
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: all day. But at the same time, like there's there's

631
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: a different ways to skin a cat and Bobachette Pete Alonso,

632
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: They're both gonna have value in this lineup. Bobachett might

633
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: not do it in the power department, but again I

634
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: still think it in this lineup, he's gonna drive in

635
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: like a hundred runs.

636
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's probably something to the fact that,

637
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: like we said before, you want different hitter hither archetypes

638
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: in your lineup, and last year, like maybe one of

639
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: the reasons that it did feel like this lineup got

640
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 2: stale for extended perians.

641
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: Well, there's no way they ever should have because of

642
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: the talent. Is that approach? Wise, a lot of these

643
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: guys were very similar.

644
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: Yes, like Nimmo wants to be passive and Harry Shravas,

645
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: of course he got buried in the zones.

646
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: We couldn't really be passive anymore.

647
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: And then like Petez so Lindor, they are kind of

648
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: all just hunting for power. They're kind of hunting for

649
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 2: their dingers. Like pet Pete definitely did especially last year's

650
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: a lot better and making consist in contact driving the

651
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: ball in the alleys. But like at the end of

652
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: the day, like if Bobache is not the worst defender

653
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: at his position in the league, he probably gave and

654
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: give himself another full war of just not being horrible defender.

655
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: And yes, Bobasche probably is a better chance to be

656
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: a five win player than Pete. That's in fact, yes,

657
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: Pete likely has a higher OPS than bo. Yes, And

658
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: that's that's really where I was going with that entire comment.

659
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: It's like I'm gonna take the guy with the higher OPS.

660
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: Like you look at run scored RBI defense don't care

661
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: about it.

662
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: Might not be good, so might might be still be

663
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: terrible at their base. But if bose your DH's like

664
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: all right, whatever, like he's probably.

665
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: Hit three hundred and then and then I would really

666
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: rather have Pete. But then it's the whole third basically under.

667
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: But also at the same time, it's time to get over.

668
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: Ped Alonso is not a Met anymore. No, he's not.

669
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 2: I also do hate the thing that sometimes fans are doing.

670
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 2: This happened that replies on that tweet with you and

671
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: people in the quote tweets just like vilifying ped alonzoving.

672
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't make me hate Polonzo. I'll never hit

673
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: him for a second. The same thing with the grom

674
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: two people he left. How could you still like this guy?

675
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: I like paid more money because he was a Met.

676
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: Did you watch him pitch for this team? He was incredible?

677
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: How would I hate his guts? One time simple Man

678
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: came on, like I got cried, like I have like

679
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: a tear in my eye. I was like almost this guy.

680
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: My cousin got married and the first song with her

681
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: husband and his mom was simple Man. I was like,

682
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: oh my god, I got chills. No, it was.

683
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: It was the night he came back last year for

684
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: the Rangers. I was finishing my roll the World Shift.

685
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: I was going to meet you guys out. I think

686
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: you're all rock and roller for something. I think so,

687
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: and I was like, I gotta watch the grom do this.

688
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: I think I just played simple man by myself. But like,

689
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: I'm emotional watching Jacob to gron come back to the mound.

690
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: But we do have to move on. We do have

691
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: to move forward.

692
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: Bobush it's a very very good player.

693
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: I think the Mets believe they got a star caliber

694
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 2: talent and I hope I'm yeah, Like again, whatever it

695
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: takes a take. Weve we live in the take ecosystem here.

696
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: It's still crazy to me about the qualifying off for

697
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: stuff because now it makes me think that we're ready

698
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: to rumble.

699
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: And one of the most fun things about.

700
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: This move from my perspective is that this is we

701
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: have so much left to do this off season. This

702
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: is so sick that we have We're gonna have a

703
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: fun January of mess content.

704
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: Because I know I'm about to I'm about to be

705
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: in Porto Rico for a week. I'd love for this

706
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: next week. Just calm down a little bit, no emergency episodes.

707
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to sit on the beach, hang out, enjoy

708
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: my time. But we're we're linked to Bellinger more than

709
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: we have been all off season, and I think a

710
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: big reason why is because of the contract that Bobashek

711
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: just got. Now, Scott Borisch is like, well, give us that,

712
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: give us that contract in Cody Bellinger's yours.

713
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: And seems like the Yankees are a little bit perturbed

714
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: to Cody Bellinger at the moment, being like, dude, we're

715
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: giving you five years over thirty million per like it.

716
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: If they don't sign Cody Bellinger, that team is dead.

717
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: That team's over. But like kind of also if they

718
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: think about the contract is huge. No, no, no, here's

719
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: why I say dead. Obviously they're still very good. It's

720
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: not anything about that, but like it just builds up

721
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: more to like they can't get over that hump. They

722
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: they run into speed bumps. They can't finish anything. They're

723
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: not the big bad Yankees anymore. Like they they are

724
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: losers if they lose out on Cody Bellender, not even

725
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: to the Mets, just to anybody else. He should be

726
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: a Yankee there's no way he shouldn't be a Yankee.

727
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: But on the flip side of that, like I understand

728
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: them standing their ground, being like, dude, this is a

729
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: better than market value contract for you, who you're not

730
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: a sure thing at all, you would failed before the

731
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: five offseasons.

732
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: Will be really cool for them is that their team

733
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: will be actively getting worse next year and they think

734
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have a better performance, which was what

735
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: getting bounced in the ALDS. So what the hell just happened?

736
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: It was either Brosiers or Doyn't just drop something on

737
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: what's going on over there? But that was so loud.

738
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: That was incredibly loud. It's everyone okay, it's like a

739
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: very full bowl probably just fell on the ground.

740
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: But the q on penalty, now, the fact that we

741
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: got got rid of it for signing Bow just refreshed, guys.

742
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: The Q penalty for this. The Mets are losing their

743
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: second and fifth highest selections in this year's draft.

744
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: So one, you're losing those elections. Two you're losing the

745
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: slot pool moly that those picks would have given you

746
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: to your pool. And we also lose a million dollars

747
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: from our international bonus pool for next year signing. But

748
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: they didn't just get their big guy that what's his name, Wanda?

749
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice pronunciation. I hope that was right. I was,

750
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: I guess from the name.

751
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: But if we saw another player with a QO, now

752
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: we're going to FOURD for their third and six highest picks.

753
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: And you know what's crazy. I don't think any team's

754
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 2: ever done this before. If you sign a third guy

755
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: with the QO no penalty.

756
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Free, well, the Dodgers, what are they They've what Dodgers

757
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: did for this year for Tucker.

758
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: I think they lost their two, their three, their five,

759
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: and their six and two million dollars bonus po.

760
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: But if they get a third, then they would be

761
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: the team to do that. That's what I'm saying. So

762
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: I do think that they're done. I don't know if

763
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: they're done, dude, they're Their payroll is still lower than

764
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: it was last year with kylet because they had a

765
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: bunch of money they could for them made like almost

766
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: twenty mil last year.

767
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: That's the worst players in the league. Kershaw had a

768
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: pretty fat contract for the legacy deal. I'm pretty sure

769
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: maybe not, but I remember Kirby Yates had the one

770
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: year deal that was pretty fat, Like there was a

771
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 2: weird I said. I said this in the wind their

772
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: creation prediction, which is why I thought talk would be

773
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: in that team. They had like fifty million coming off

774
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 2: the books. I'm like, they're just gonna give that the

775
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker and they did wind up being sixty, which

776
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: is so crazy. But like, I think there's something now

777
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: with teams like the Mets and the Dodgers. These good

778
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: teams were like maybe ready to care less about the

779
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: QoS because like you have a deep ass farm system,

780
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: you have a deep major league roster, you just trade

781
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: the guy and you get back something commensurate of like

782
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: a second and fifth round picks.

783
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

784
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: If trate code I we'll get like a qualifying offer

785
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: penalty package back.

786
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And the fact that the Mets have

787
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: been able to get guys in the eighth, ninth, tenth,

788
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: eleventh round and they're now becoming some of the top

789
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: prospects not just in the organization, but top one hundred

790
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: prospects in baseball, Guys like aj Ewing and Jack Wendinger

791
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Like that is the well oiled

792
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: machine that Steve Cohen talked about when he came here,

793
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: the tongue in cheek about wanting to be the Dodgers

794
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: East where it's like when someone asked him first, of

795
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: course someone did ask him, but like, at the same time,

796
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: being able to have that farm system and build it

797
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: up allows you to be aggressive and truthfully not care

798
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: about the qualifying offer when a lot of teams clearly do,

799
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: especially because if you want to get the best free agents,

800
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: they're going to have that qualifying off Yeah, so if

801
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: you want to be and again the fact that we're

802
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: willing to do it for Tucker and bo willing to

803
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: do both of them at the same time if it

804
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: possibly could have happened, like, that's kind of sick. I

805
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 1: also think this is now reach flow state chaos mets UP.

806
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: I think this Mets organization not only obsessed with Carson Bench.

807
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: I think they're obsessed with aj Ewing. Yeah, what makes

808
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: you say about Ajewing. She's just been reading a lot

809
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: more baseball perspectives lately.

810
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: A lot of what they're getting defensively in Ajewing is

811
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: that he could be like a plus plus a center

812
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: field defender and a plus second base defender, like being

813
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: in a chess piece like that. Two spots on the

814
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: roster makes tons of content contact, and it seems like

815
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: they just didn't want to lock up outfield long term.

816
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: I think that they're very, very confident internally about these

817
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 2: two outfielders, which is fun for us.

818
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, I mean it does feel like more

819
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: and more every single day that Carson Bene one way

820
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: or another, will be on this team. May first at

821
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: the absolute worst, so Will Samon said.

822
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: The article came out Sunday about what kind of where

823
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 2: the Mets are going next. The New York Mets are

824
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: eyeing a versatile outfielder who can handle center field and

825
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: support the corner spots. People familiar with their plants set

826
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: and then he's specifically named Harrison Bayther Large New bar

827
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: Jake Myers and Louis Robert.

828
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know, I want lou Bob

829
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: so badly. It kind of fits perfectly for what this

830
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: team's building here. You Louise Robert, give me the fucking

831
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: chaos everyone's volatility right now. Give me give me the

832
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: nonsense of he's either going to be one of the

833
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: worst hitters in all of baseball or we're gonna get

834
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: an all star caliber guy with elite defense in center field.

835
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: Give me that, give me that chaos. This team has

836
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: a lot of guarantees now by adding the Bobaschet, Batton

837
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: there and Soto and Lindor. Give me the high, high

838
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: volatility guy.

839
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: And it's telling that Will specifically said you want someone

840
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: that can handle center field and possibly support the corner spots,

841
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: which again you're saving Tyron Taylor's roster spot. That fits,

842
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: that fits the multiple cars and Benes, but probably still

843
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: just don't want the guy on the team opening day.

844
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: So it's like unless he like literally plays so out

845
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: of his mind, where like, oh, he has to be

846
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 1: on the roster, so now again something else. Oh, I

847
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: wonder if also the Mets feel a little more confident

848
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: too about giving up the qualifying offer because Noel McLain

849
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: or Carson Bene Rookie of the Year stuff.

850
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: Or sprokete or talent like we have for the next

851
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: for the next two years, and next year could be

852
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: a could be the next picture we're not even choking

853
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: about yet. Yeah, could be jet Like, we have so

854
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: many guys ready to go, there's a really good chance

855
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: we're getting We're getting picks that the Astros even got

856
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: to pick this year for Hunter Brown because he's still

857
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 2: pre arbitration. He plays for then Young, Yes, Young second

858
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: or third. So it's like you if you start to

859
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: actually like you can kind of weaponize these prospects and

860
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: just get picks and picks and picks. And I think

861
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 2: the Q thing is fun too, because it seems like

862
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: we're really ready to give Frame for the short term deal.

863
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: And while Framer is a very imperfect free agent by

864
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: a lot of accounts, like he's exactly what this team needs.

865
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: Just talk and talk about steady.

866
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: If we signed Framber Valdez, I can say with really

867
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: good confidence, like we're going to give Zach Gallen a

868
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: one year deal?

869
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah you think so? You think, oh yeah, there's no

870
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: there's no penalty for the third Yeah, so I think, like, also,

871
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: are the Dodgers are going to try and do that

872
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: at that point? Because like, why not, he'll take a

873
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: one year deal, take a one year deal. God, Dodgers

874
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: might be the only thing that maybe isn't because you

875
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: talk talk about they have ninety pictures, they have ninety

876
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: starting pictures. I know you can never want to talk

877
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: about value. I know, I know you can never have

878
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: too many. But like at some point, Gavinstone, River, Ryan

879
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: Land and Knack Justin Robleski, like those guys are gonna

880
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: have to make a start one day or be traded.

881
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: They put this because they're gonna be in Triple A forever. Yeah, definitely.

882
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: But I think the Dodgers and I think we're gonna

883
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: start to see this with the Messo over the next

884
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: few years. I think that you want to keep some

885
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: of these guys in Triple A forever, yeah, because you

886
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: want to start their clocks when they're in their prime.

887
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: Like if these pictures start coming up, we just KNOWL

888
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: McLam like get married over the weekend. Like you come

889
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: up at twenty five years old, you can buy out

890
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 2: twenty six to thirty two for the years that are free,

891
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: Like that's that's what you want.

892
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: To be free agency.

893
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like all right, cool, dude, thanks for giving

894
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: us your best years. And I'll still say this fully

895
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: on the record, I want Freddy Peralta. I think we're

896
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 2: super in play for Fredday Peralta. I mean again, like

897
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: knowing that watching this Bobashette thing go down, like I

898
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: guess both could be in play like this I yeah.

899
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: Why not. I just I don't want to give a

900
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: Bret Baty for Freddy Parola.

901
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: Fuck no, not even close. And also I think maybe

902
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 2: it'd be fun to do an episode. I mean, we'll

903
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 2: see what's going on with you this week before the Rico.

904
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 2: But if there's ever any smoke around, like a Brett

905
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 2: Baby Boston trade, I think that'd be a fun breakout

906
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 2: episode for us.

907
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: Like yeah, because I'm about Duran and Bray you and everything.

908
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: It makes so much sense, it.

909
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: Does, but it's calling me crazy here. I might rather

910
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 2: have Brett Baby ooh.

911
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,479
Speaker 1: Might I might call you crazy there. I love Brett, dude,

912
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: but it's four years of Brett, two years of Duran.

913
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: Duran like had the one amazing What about Williard? What

914
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: if it was for Willier? I think I think the

915
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: I think the hips are Red Sox fans over it.

916
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: William I do love Williard. I think William is a

917
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 2: tweak away from going nuclear. Yeah, but I still haven't

918
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: seen that tweak happen.

919
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: But like, I don't know, Brtt. We got Bret till twenty.

920
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: Thirty, so long, and you can play on like the

921
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: whole infield at this point, and he's a lefty bat

922
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: with plus plus bat speed. Like it's like that's great,

923
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: Like Brenda Brett Bady and he's thirty one years old,

924
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: that's a rookie deal. Like he's twenty six right now,

925
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: we got we got four more years of service on him.

926
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: I can't even believe we're talking about twenty thirty. What

927
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: this mess roster could look like?

928
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: Right Like, I think Brett Baby is such a valuable

929
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: trade trip the Mets. They're going to listen for it.

930
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: But I also think that they know how much of

931
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: a piece that he is. I think that we should,

932
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: like we should be acknowledging that. Again, maybe it's Balinger,

933
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 2: it's still to me, it feels like it's gonna be Newt.

934
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: You think new Bar.

935
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: I feel like I know we'll keep want well, I mean,

936
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: it's just that seems like exactly what they want.

937
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: And also it seems to snubar over thirty. Will the

938
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals trade a player under thirty this offseason? They've only

939
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: been trading over thirty.

940
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: I feel like they want to. I feel like they

941
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: just want to get as much, like liquidate as much

942
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: as possible.

943
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: He wanted he was like so mid like dog, you're

944
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna trade him at his lowest value. I'd

945
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: love to buy him a love like that saying is great, Yeah, sure,

946
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: but I'm saying like for the Cardinals, like they don't

947
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: have to trade Nut this offseason. There's there's kind of

948
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: actually no reason because they also have I think nothing

949
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: behind him really to fill in that spot. They got

950
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: nothing in general Carre. I like Josh Bias, but I

951
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: don't know if if he's gonna be a big time

952
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: player like that right now. Definitely not yet, but he'd

953
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: be a fun guy to get where.

954
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: It's like I kind of gets tired of his ultrapaz passivity, but.

955
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 1: I I it's gonna drive me nuts. Yeah, swing the bad,

956
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: the fucking bad. But like he just he forefits well,

957
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: he's a fun by low.

958
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 2: The physical tools are still great, Like you could easily

959
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 2: see Lars new bravanc three what season next year?

960
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: Easily?

961
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course without an hundred percent that could be anything.

962
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: Put him in left field like Jake Myers too. Jake

963
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: Myers just like a better Tyrone Taylor, Like.

964
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: He is a better Tyrone Taylor. I feel like Jake Myers,

965
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 1: especially because he is right handed bat. I'm surely Tyrone

966
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: is not gonna stay on this team. If that's the case,

967
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 1: I feel like it's possible. I'd even love to see

968
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: Baither back, Like I'd be so happy. I would love

969
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: to see especially because I think it's sticky. He made

970
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: real changes last year.

971
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: Bat speed, he saw the bad speed, so like there's

972
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 2: there's there are options here for the outfield. Like also

973
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, like I don't know,

974
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 2: like a Randall Richard Carson benchball too and gets me

975
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 2: like probably a little more excited.

976
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: Than Randall Richard got signed. Oh we got signed finally.

977
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: I think he's like it was bad last year, but

978
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: I think he's on the Royals. Maybe now he's still

979
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: free agent, is he?

980
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: I mean he was dog Walder last year, so maybe

981
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: it's just over the I mean, yeah, I don't want

982
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: to worry about it, but like talking about talking about

983
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: the lefty matter, like even like I don't know, like

984
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: we'll probably you can still squeeze us and haze on here.

985
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of options right now for pitching

986
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: an outfield, which I think are fun and like.

987
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 1: It's it's it's cool to see how many different directions

988
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: this team can go now the next few weeks. Yeah, well,

989
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be active again this signing Bobashett,

990
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: now go crazy, get nuts. Oh absolutely, get nuts. This

991
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: was a get nuts move. You can't sit on your

992
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: hands after you make this move.

993
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: I think I think there's a clear indication to us

994
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: there's no chance they're going to set on their hands.

995
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: And it also seemed like, based on what we know

996
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: about everything that was going on that we never heard about,

997
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: the Mets never had a plan to sit on their hands. No,

998
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: never even never in the consideration, even with the Dodgers,

999
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: so Dave Sleepy Sterns.

1000
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 2: Some people are like, oh, just quit, they're going to

1001
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: it anyway. This is baseball. I'm not fucking quitting. We're

1002
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 2: playing a sport here.

1003
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: So lame. By the way, the Dodgers were two outs

1004
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: away from losing the World Series last year.

1005
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: Like and an inch from this in the World Series,

1006
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: and again like talk good good for them they made

1007
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: their move.

1008
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: Also equite better to beat them.

1009
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: We said it before the Mets got their guy Wanda Asanyan,

1010
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: the top player in this international class. Again similar to

1011
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 2: Eliam Pagnion last year. The scouts say the guys dude

1012
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: on the Mess of podcast. I think the I think

1013
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: the company line here.

1014
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: Is that we tried.

1015
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: We We're not going to remark on like the baseball

1016
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 2: talent of the children. No, let's see him play minor

1017
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 2: league first.

1018
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, our art take will constantly and always has been

1019
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: come back in five years when he turns twenty, and

1020
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how it is. Because as cool as

1021
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 1: like it is to get hype about these guys, Jason

1022
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: Domingez is just starting to break in. We heard about

1023
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: that guy forever and the Aggies refused to play him.

1024
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: Think about Robert poass On guy, the guy tried to

1025
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: become a pitcher. I think he's twenty two. It might

1026
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: not even be that old. But like it's just all right,

1027
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: wait forever under over under twenty two and a half

1028
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: for Robert boss. I think I'm gonna go under. Robert

1029
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: pass On is twenty three six.

1030
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: A good line said, the good line there. But again

1031
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 2: it's like it's so much can happen bad with these

1032
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: guys like this.

1033
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: Who knows?

1034
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 2: But nice to mess keep getting what is perceived to

1035
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 2: be premium talent. The International Internatrial Phradge, we trailed the

1036
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: boy Franklin Gomezo to get the money to keep our

1037
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 2: class and Sywandi, Yeah, so he's now we got him.

1038
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: He we sent him to Cleveland for the international slot money,

1039
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 2: which again it shout of Franklin Gomez. We keep trading this,

1040
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: this pitching depth of minds, and then I want, I

1041
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: want it.

1042
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: It's been a while. This is a classic, this Nold

1043
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: School Messed Up episode.

1044
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: I got.

1045
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: I got two really good media marvels. Yes, yes, yes,

1046
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: I know one of them, the Michael kay one I

1047
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: think I missed.

1048
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: Okay, Michael kay Wan's the leader and everyone knows tell

1049
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: me about the Lion. Everyone knows that Michael kay is

1050
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 2: a huge fan that Messed Up podcast consistent listener you

1051
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: get if you guys want to find last year his

1052
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: rant about us, it's deep in.

1053
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: Our YouTube channel. But so he was talking about how

1054
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: the Blue.

1055
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 2: Jays have gotten worse this offseason, and he's spout off

1056
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: on his Twitter and again like this, it's possible the

1057
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: Blue Jay's roster right now could be considered.

1058
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: Worse than was he into last year.

1059
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: For sure, Like you think, Bobachett, you might not have

1060
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: gotten an impact. Together, We'll see what happens to Cosmo

1061
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: Okamo though, but you got Dylan ce Us, who we think,

1062
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: by all accounts is probably a top fifteen pitcher in

1063
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 2: the game. So then when someone replied to Michael Kay

1064
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 2: talking about how much worse the Blue Jays got, someone

1065
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 2: sat the Blue Jay signed Dylan Sees and then Michael

1066
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 2: Okay goes and lost Chris Bassett, Max Shuers, Are Bow

1067
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: Baschett your move?

1068
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: Michael Kay saying this not realize again, Virginally he was.

1069
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: He was structuring his common comments about Yankees versus Blue Jays.

1070
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Yankees think you're pulling a head back behind them. The

1071
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: Blue Jay thing really gets under his skin. He can't

1072
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: handle the Blue Jays can. So Michael Kay referens these

1073
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: three players Chris Bassint, Max Cheers or Bob Baschett. Mark.

1074
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 2: Do you know how many of those guys were on

1075
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 2: the alds winning roster for the Blue Jays last year

1076
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: against the Yankees.

1077
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: When they knocked out the Yankees. I'm gonna say zero.

1078
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: I think now one of those players played against the

1079
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: Yankees in the playoffs and routes to knocking them out.

1080
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: So that was a going by Michael Kay not checking

1081
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: back in his history. He knows. He's been prone to

1082
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: do that sometimes. Wait, way, Michael ka was wrong, he

1083
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: didn't know something. I can't believe it. That's free. I

1084
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: thought the lion knew everything. Now he's he's over there

1085
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: and we're over here. True that that's why he gets

1086
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: to do his job his way. Another big one here.

1087
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: So there was a cool Philly melted out after this

1088
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: Bobashette thing, which is awesome. And so the one thing

1089
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: that would have been better is if we could have

1090
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: gotten Ricky Bow and those guys on NBC Sports just

1091
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: absolutely going bonkers. The best part of about this, too,

1092
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: is that the fact how public those negotiations with Bow were.

1093
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 1: They let two of their players know and Alex Blowman

1094
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: Bryce's side, we didn't really watch you guys playing one

1095
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: of you guys who's gonna lose your job, But now

1096
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: you both have them are bad offseason for the morale

1097
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: of the Phillies right now. Bryce Harper got called not

1098
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: elite by his GM. The second base and third baseman,

1099
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: they're like, we're happy to replace you guys. And then

1100
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: with that.

1101
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 2: Again, you don't even get the guy. You let them

1102
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: know that you kill their own confidence. The Phillies are

1103
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 2: having the off season. Now that seems like a lot

1104
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 2: of Mets fans, possibly you included, wanted us to have

1105
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: get the band back together, bring everybody back, and their

1106
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 2: fans are having collective meltdown about that. But Jeff Skersky

1107
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 2: s k v e r Sky Sports and news anchor

1108
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 2: former six ABC Philly Bobbashek career stats per game versus

1109
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 2: Phillies third basement Alex bowm bobiche has better numbers, but

1110
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 2: it's not drastic enough to justify the massive difference in money.

1111
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: On top of that, New York Mets news star was

1112
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 2: one of the worst shortstops MLB last season.

1113
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: Then there's a graphic.

1114
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: This is this goes up there at all time, graphics

1115
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: like Naddi's long Lebron, James Larry Bird, what's up? Like

1116
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: James mcanvus JT Real Muto, what's the was it?

1117
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: Tony Snell? The Tony Snell line of zero zero zero so.

1118
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: Boba Shee per game one point two one hits, Alec

1119
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: Boham's one point zero five hits. And again, if you

1120
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: guys are unfamiliar with these per game hit numbers, because

1121
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: no one.

1122
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: Has ever used it before because you would have to

1123
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: be an idiot to use per game stats for baseball.

1124
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: That's insane.

1125
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: We've got one hundred fifty years of baseball stats. No

1126
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 2: one's ever broken it down like home runs per game

1127
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: point one five for Boba, Scheffer's point one zero for

1128
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 2: Alex Boem.

1129
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: That's my favorite. Breakouts per game as a stat that'd

1130
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: be so stupid.

1131
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 2: We got war per game point per game, point zero

1132
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 2: two eight. We went to the thousandth decimal place. And

1133
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: you know this is the best part of so you

1134
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: know Alec Bohm's war per game in his career, what

1135
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 2: is it?

1136
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: Point zero zero seven. To put that on the graphic,

1137
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: iess mean to the guy, it's terrible, But it's to

1138
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: think that a point a baseball stat per game, there's

1139
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: like a good game, yet four things might have happened

1140
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: in that entire game, and you need to break down

1141
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: per game. That's so fucking stupid. This is this graphic

1142
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: is otherwoke nonsense. The game is gone. You can't you

1143
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: can't be doing shit like that.

1144
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: But again, fun to see the Philly fans kind of

1145
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 2: getting at each other, like the fact that how mad

1146
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 2: they were that we got we got Bobachett from them.

1147
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: Oh it's always great to see those mutants just completely

1148
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: completely crumble like that. Yeah, I think you got anything else?

1149
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think that's that's good. A

1150
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: little forty five minutes, we got Frankie Peppers.

1151
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got Frankie. We got Frankie. So we we

1152
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 2: did the car.

1153
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: We were just we didn't get frank Franklin gets quick

1154
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: enough for the episode put out Friday for we got

1155
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: is Kyle Tucker take. We got Kyle Tucker Takes, which

1156
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: weirdly played exactly or perfectly to Bob Baschett. So now

1157
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: we've got Frankie Peppers.

1158
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: This was on twelve thirty six, so like thirty minutes

1159
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 2: after the Bobachet signing up.

1160
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: This is Frankie Pepper's on Bobachett. Frankie Pepper's on Bobachett

1161
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: sending us out.

1162
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 3: Gentlemen, this is Frankie Pepper. Say you doing I don't

00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 3: you saw my message that I said last night. But

1165
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: we got bold by set. We ain't missing out. We

1166
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: ain't missing out. This is a good move. I like it.

1167
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: He don't pull the ball in the.

1168
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 3: Head too much, but he hat shit hard and that's

Speaker 3: all we can ask. So I'm uh, I'm I heard
