1

2

Speaker 2: Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: Up Podcast, wrapped up a pretty putrid series against the

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds. I don't think we're gonna be like, well,

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say. Wait, I'm a little old man and

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: crotchety right now. I've got some takes that are gonna

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: might feel the same way. I'm just giving you a disclaimer. Crotchedy,

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: old man mood right now. I just got a lot

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: of things to say. James might be a little bit better.

12

30
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: there in Jersey. How are you feeling, what's going on?

31
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: Feeling good? Coming off a nice, wonderful backyard day with

32
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: the family. Also, like really wanted to come on this

33
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: episode and be able to talk a lot about like

34
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: David right in the weekend and being at the ballpark,

35
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: but we kind of can't really talk that much about that.

36
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: At least we will talk about middle later on in

37
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: the episode, just because there's so much bad baseball to discuss.

38
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: More of the same stuck in the mud feeling with

39
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 3: this team. Just the same day, game in, game out, horrible,

40
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: setting the tone the first game after the break, playing

41
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: a disaster shit game on Saturday too, hondred David Right, No,

42
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: by the way, the Hunter David Right, they're playing very

43
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: bad baseball. You have to deal with that his entire career.

44
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: But and then you barely salvage the series on Sunday

45
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: in a game you like, don't even deserve to win

46
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: really at the end of the day. So it's just

47
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. I can't really shake this feeling with

48
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: this team right now. It just doesn't really feel great.

49
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: No, something needs to change.

50
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: I don't something has to change because the Mets are

51
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: now going on And we talked about this when we

52
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: were on our way home from the game on Saturday

53
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: on David Wright.

54
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: We had our dads with us.

55
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: So it's good, good baseball talk going on the subway

56
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: back to Astoria. They've played about sixty games of being

57
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: five hundred baseball now where they're not not particularly great,

58
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: and especially over what has now been the last month,

59
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: they have been horrible.

60
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: They've not been good, and you look across the board.

61
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: The offensive numbers are some of the worst in Major

62
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: League Baseball over the last month. The pitching numbers have

63
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: gone down quite a bit. We know that there's injuries,

64
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: know there's guys coming back. I have a little bit

65
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: more faith though, weirdly in the pitching than I do

66
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: the hitting at this exact moment, which might sound crazy

67
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: to people, but I don't know if people realize how

68
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: bad the hitting has gone. And just specifically in this series,

69
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: we scored nine runs in three games against the Cincinnati Reds.

70
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Nick Martinez started one of these games, like,

71
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: we couldn't get anything going at all at the plate,

72
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: and it is really really frustrating as a fan to watch.

73
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: And it's been a month plus of this now.

74
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: It a lot of it does come back to, like

75
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: I really hate to say, because there's no blame being

76
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: thrown in the surrection, but it does a lot come

77
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: back to win Francisco and Door broke his toe towards

78
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: the beginning of June during that Dodger series.

79
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: It does, and it doesn't because like Lindor has not

80
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: been good. I think we can just objectively say he's

81
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: been pretty bad actually over the last month, like not

82
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: playing well I think is like averages below two hundred.

83
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: We're not on average podcasts, but I think the OPS

84
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: is hovering around six point eighty if I had to

85
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: guess over the last month or so since he broke

86
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: his toe. But we kind of understand what's going on there?

87
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: The swing looks really slow whatever, But as of a

88
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: whole as a team since what June thirteenth, that was

89
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: like kind of the time when they started to fall

90
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: off against the Rays, right that was the I think June.

91
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: Thirteenth was the day.

92
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: Can you guess where the Mets are in the league

93
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: on for ops since that time? Where do you think

94
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: they rank?

95
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: Twenty ninth?

96
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: Pretty close twenty fifth. The only team's worse are the Royals, Giants,

97
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: White Sox, Pirates, and Guardians. There's not a lot of

98
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: winning going on with those baseball teams right now. Especially

99
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: the Giants been ice cold.

100
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: I was going to assume, like Ozzie second last bait,

101
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: it just feels like it actually has been that bad

102
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: and since that day against the Dodgers that it was

103
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: that second game that happened. That was June third, I

104
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: believe is when he did file the ball off his toe.

105
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: Just gonna reclick this little game a lot. Here in

106
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: a second, he has a seventy eight WRC plus and

107
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 3: a six fourteen six twenty four ops.

108
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah bad, I was close to six to eighty. I

109
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: gave him too much credit. It's just a bad hitter.

110
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: When one of the four best players in your team

111
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: who had stop the other every day can't hit for

112
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 3: an extended period of time, it is hard to like

113
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: really drive the offense because I think a lot of

114
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: the focus has been on the bottom level lineup the

115
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: other guys like us include they're doing the classic y

116
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 3: spn Someone's got to step up, someone's got to step up.

117
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: Who's going to step up? Sometimes you just have to

118
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 3: kind of get there with your guys. And a few

119
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: games that we have won, like decidedly over this poor stretch,

120
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: it has been with those guys driving the boat. We're

121
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: only going to go as far as those guys at

122
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: the top of the other take them. We've been saying

123
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: that you guys over and over and over again this year.

124
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: So when one of those four isn't doing it, and

125
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: also we're going on a month and a half of

126
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: Pilonzo also just being kind of whatever kind of normal.

127
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: As hot as he started the year, that guy hasn't

128
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 3: really been there. The home runs have really tapered off

129
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: in a profound way. The OPS is now under nine hundred.

130
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: It's just been steadily dropping since the beginning of May.

131
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: It's just the part of this team that was supposed

132
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: to be the strength hasn't been anything close to his

133
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: strength so far. And then you always kind of hope

134
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: that it's turning around, something's going to go go right,

135
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: but it just hasn't. And also, weird, the same thing's

136
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: happening to the Texas Rangers. I feel like those Dodgers too.

137
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: I mean, the Dodgers have been ice cold as well.

138
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: There shut us up, also broken toe and playing even

139
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: way worse than Francisco Lindora is right now.

140
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's just like it's just it's again I

141
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: said at the top of the show, it's stuck in

142
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: the mud. I keep getting that stuck in the mud feeling.

143
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 3: That is how this roster feels at the moment.

144
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: The thing that that does bother me is that again,

145
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: we're going now on a month of the Mets being

146
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: a bottom half of the league offense. Right, So we're

147
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: going on thirty forty, maybe even fifty games of them being.

148
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: Either average or below average offensively.

149
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: And I hate to keep being a broken record, but

150
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: at some point there has to be an adjustment made.

151
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: Someone's got to adjust and take it away from Like

152
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: of course Lindor has been cold, and Pete has been cold,

153
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: but he still has like an eight to fifty two

154
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: ops over the last month. It's not the level he

155
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: was at to start the year, but that is still

156
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: very much a capable player. Brandon Nimo's playing better, Juan

157
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: Soto has been scalding hot. How can we continue to

158
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: get zero zero production from anybody outside of those four

159
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: guys not named Jeff McNeil, forre Bey's even be good.

160
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: So where what's going on? There has to be some

161
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: sort of adjustment. I feel like there's just no there's

162
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: no game plan. It feels like at times, even today

163
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: in the game on Game three, that the execution at

164
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: the plate at times first off, there was so much bunting.

165
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: And I know the Mets can't hit right now, but

166
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: I think bunting is not how you fix trying to

167
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: score more runs by giving up outs.

168
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: I think that there were two bunts. The first one

169
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: I think was a player trying to bunch for hitting.

170
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: Jeff McNeil. He does that time. At the time, it

171
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: felt like that there's Jeff mcdille's not sacrifice bunting. That's

172
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: just he's not that's not the kind of player he is.

173
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: I think he was trying to sneak one down ACCOUNI

174
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: I think was kind of sacrifice bunting, and it actually

175
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 3: did lead to a run. But Wilso, I told you, guys,

176
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: this is about Andrew Abbits last episode. He's going to

177
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 3: throw a lots of fastballs down in the middle. You're

178
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: going to be like, why can't we hit these fastballs?

179
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: He's been statistically one of the best pitches in the league.

180
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: You keep talking about this lack of game plan. I

181
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: don't really see that at all.

182
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: This is this is.

183
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: This is like the part that I think you might

184
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: slightly miss where.

185
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: It's like progressive. They were like getting their spots, like

186
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: they were hitting the ball moderately hard. Like I do

187
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: think that this was just an issue of it wasn't working.

188
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: But then do they Is this team just bad?

189
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: Because if because if it's not, if there's not a

190
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: fundamental issue right now with what's going on with this

191
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: team at the plate, if there's not an approach issue,

192
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: if there's not a philosophy issue.

193
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think this approach issue at all.

194
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: I think there is for sure.

195
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: I think what is it?

196
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: I think they have horrible approaches.

197
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: Three one what's the bad approach?

198
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: Louise Entz today three to one, pitch a slider. It

199
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: was a filthy slider, but he was not looking for

200
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: a pitch that he could do damage on. He was

201
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: trying to find a pitch on three to one to

202
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: hit the ball the other way and maybe get a single.

203
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: I think that's the entire loser mentality of this offense

204
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: is that at times they're not trying to do damage.

205
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: They're trying to put the ball in play rather than

206
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: hit the ball hard when they need to. And I

207
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: think that's their major problem with runners in scoring position

208
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: is that this team's trying to place the ball in

209
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: get their singles, try to move the guy to the

210
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: next base station by station, take fucking warhacks. We've seen

211
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: Wan Sota does it. I know he's been struggling with

212
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: runners in scoring position as well, but these guys they

213
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: tighten the fuck up when runners get in scoring position.

214
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: There is a fundamental issue, and I know you keep

215
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: saying that there's not, but this offense fucking sucks. At

216
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: some point there has to be accountability for the coach

217
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: or if not, these players are bad. So what would

218
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: you rather it be? The players? Are bad, or the

219
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: coaching staff's not doing their job. They're never fucking ready

220
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to do right now.

221
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: Baseball is fine because you keep saying these things about

222
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: the approach, the approach, the approach, but there's no there's

223
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: no dat there's no information behind it.

224
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: Like what do you want?

225
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: Will you think can prove what you're trying to say?

226
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: You can't?

227
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: What stats are you looking for?

228
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: You have to watch because it's like, okay, three to one,

229
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 2: we're swinging out a pitch that's in the dirt. How

230
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: the fuck does that even happen? You should never be

231
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: swinging out of pitch.

232
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: It's a bad position.

233
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: That's bad.

234
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: That's a bad decision. That's not like a pandemic issue.

235
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: That's approach that's a one hundred percent of pro.

236
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: Kind of or it's one decision by one player that

237
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 3: was made incorrectly.

238
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: But they all do it. Mark Fiens has the worst

239
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: fucking approach and.

240
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 3: They don't want to take me. I don't want to

241
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: take anything Mark Fian is doing right now and plastering

242
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: him over what the entire team is doing. That's unfair

243
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: to the other players in this team.

244
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: So Eric Shavin Jeremy Barnes can't make any adjustments. They

245
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: can't fix anything.

246
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: What you mean, what's the adjustment? What's the adjustment?

247
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: Work on? Get into a mental state with this guy.

248
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: He's fucking broken and they can't fix anything. He's not

249
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: hitting the ball hard, his swing as slow as shit.

250
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: He continues to swing at bad pitches. How is there

251
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: no adjustments being made at all? Other teams have bad players,

252
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: they make adjustments. They at least have good at bats.

253
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: The Mets bad players do not have good at bats.

254
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: They're uncompetitive and if they're that bad of players, they

255
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: should not be on the MLB roster.

256
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: This was saying, I think this is just you being

257
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: winey and bitchy, because I really think that what this

258
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: is at the end of the day is a team

259
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: that's just being tight. Like I think this Mets team

260
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: this whole year is played tight. I don't think that

261
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: they've like I don't know, last year, like they kind

262
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: of were spurned by magic and by vibes and by friendship.

263
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: It feels like they've been searching for like something like that.

264
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 3: This year it hasn't come all. So in hitters counts

265
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: this year, the Mets have the third best hard hit

266
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: percentage baseball. Don't you want balls hit hard and hitters counts.

267
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: I think I think one Soto's carrying that.

268
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 3: I don't think one hitter can carry that whole thing.

269
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: No way that one hitter has enough bad the balls

270
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: the Mets have hit. The Mets have seen four thousand

271
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: pitches and hitters counts this year. Also, that's another one.

272
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 3: The Mets have seen the third most pitches in hitters

273
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: counts this year.

274
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: Actually, they're super patient, but I think that also allows

275
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: guys to get into a fucking rhythm. Sometimes, like Nick Martinez,

276
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: they jumped all over him and then they take take, take, take,

277
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 2: take it, and you go and you're like, oh, Nick

278
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: Martinez went six innings, gave up two runs.

279
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: How the fuck did that happen.

280
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: I'll switch it right now, and even I'll even get

281
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: the dates, because I still think at the end of

282
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: the day, you keep winding about these things, but I

283
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: actually don't think any of the day that bears out.

284
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: And I think at the end of the day, it's

285
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: a team playing tight, and the team playing tight goes

286
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 3: back to the runners scoring position thing, because it's kind

287
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: of like, oh, guy, I really hope I hope, I

288
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: really hope I come to I really hope I come

289
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: to it. Really hope I come through. But they're just not.

290
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: There's no looseness of this team. It feels like there's

291
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: not as much of a joy in the day to

292
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: day grind of the season, especially like we saw last year.

293
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: But you'll never get the joy like you saw last year.

294
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: Of course I understand that part, But like I think

295
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: that the things that you're saying, the second we find data,

296
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 3: it's incorrect, but not necessarily. You said when they're ahead

297
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 3: in the count, they have bad approach. We're seeing we're

298
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: seeing that they get ahead in the account more than

299
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 3: almost any other team in the league. And there are

300
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: ahead in account, they hit the ball harder than almost

301
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: every other.

302
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: Team in the What's what's the percentage fifty.

303
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: Hard hit rate? And when they're in hitters counts.

304
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: And what's what's like the give me some other teams

305
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: around them. The Red Sox are first at fifty two,

306
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 2: the Yankees fifty point two. We're forty nine point six,

307
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays.

308
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Are three or four. The worst, I want to know

309
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: what the worst is to be.

310
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: The worst is the Cardians at forty point one. That's

311
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 3: so that's two percent low and everyone else. And then

312
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: we've seen over four thousand pitches in hit his counts.

313
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: We're only one of four teams in the league to

314
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 3: have seen four thousand pitches and hit his counts.

315
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: But you've watched the games and you know that they

316
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: fucking stink too. But I'm telling you it's a tightness thing.

317
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: I think that the Mets are doing the approach things

318
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 2: that they're fine. They keep getting an advantageous situations all weekend,

319
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: every single inning, they're an advantage of situation. Then the

320
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: game on Saturday branded them on Francisco Indoor, come up

321
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 2: down by three.

322
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 3: With the basis loaded, one out and nobly puts the

323
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: ball in play. That's not an approach issue. That's a

324
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: tightness issue.

325
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: But they were. No one was prepared for Scott Barlow

326
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: to throw a curveball to these.

327
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: Guys, because whoever's in reds Advanced Scathing is listening to

328
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: you run your mouth on this podcast, and they.

329
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: Know that is not my fault.

330
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: Don't all you say every single fucking week is that

331
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: Brandon Nemo jumps on the first pitch relief pitchers, but

332
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: men on bass at Scott Barlow drops him too, and

333
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 3: NAT's breaking balls at.

334
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: A Dammitary Francona, listens when you look at these stats,

335
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at this right now, in hitters counts

336
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: on Baseball savon, the top teams in hard hit rate

337
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: against the Red Sox, Yankees, the.

338
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 3: Mets, the Blue Jays, than the Braves. I don't know

339
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: how the Dodgers, the Oriels. The bottom teams are, you know,

340
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: the Padres, the Royals, the Giants, Guardians, the Reds like

341
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: those are the teams that don't. Oddly, the Cubs the

342
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: best offensive baseball actually one of the lowest heart hit

343
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 3: rates in the league in hitters counts, and the Cubs

344
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: have seen that's kind of the middle of the pack

345
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: and everything else. But I do think that it's more

346
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: about they're getting into the situations where things good should happen.

347
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: It's just not getting like the game that the one game,

348
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: because aculously, the so overlying this whole thing is that

349
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 3: the Phillies cannot get out of their own way and

350
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: do anything with this krats.

351
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: What do I do.

352
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: I'm in a bind, and I need to make some

353

Speaker 5: food at home. I would like it to be home cooked,

354
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 5: but I don't want to deal with any of the

355
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 5: grocery crap.

Speaker 5: by plan.

375
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: Baseball is so fucking broken right now. The Dodgers are

376
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: getting their ass beat. The Phillies can't get out of

377
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: the way. The Blue Jays are sweeping everybody. I don't

378
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 2: know what's going on in baseball. It's just n L

379
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 2: central supremacy.

380
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: But there, in that same situation, the Phillies almost got

381
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: swept by the Angels if not for the fact that

382
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarper hit them a miracle grand Slam to win

383
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: them their only game. We had so many chances for

384
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: miracle grand slams in the series. We didn't even get

385
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: one of them. And even that game on Saturday, Wan

386
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: Solo was this close to hitting a home run that

387
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: would have tied the game in the last inning, and

388
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: then he got screwed on some bullshit. Not on the

389
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: checks wing because that became a marginal call. He got

390
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: screwed on the fucking pitch clock that they called time

391
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: when the pitch clock was running out. There was a

392
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: lot of so much nonsense. But still, if there was

393
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: one player who made one clutch, had one clutch at

394
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: bat in the series, we probably win the series because

395
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: you probably find a way to get ahead in either

396
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: of the game Friday or Saturday, and you still win

397
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: the game by the skin of your teeth. On Sunday,

398
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: the Mets are getting in the advantageous situations. The approach

399
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: is still good. We'd say, you can you adjust it

400
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: for the last month, I'll do. I'll start it from

401
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: June or if you if you can give me that

402
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: they're still up there, I'll go hand up.

403
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm probably wrong, but it's what I feel because you're.

404
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: Feeling as I understand that. But I keep telling you that,

405
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 3: which I think is just someone has to be great,

406
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: someone has to be better, because like again, since June first,

407
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: the Mets have seen the Mets have seen the second

408
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: most pitches to get ahead and the count in all

409
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: of baseball. And since June first, the hard hit rate

410
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: is still in the top ten of baseball.

411
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Where's that though? Has it dropped?

412
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: It dropped one percent less than a little bit more

413
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: than one percent forty eight point six.

414
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: Percent because like their ops with runners of scoring positions

415
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: in the in the streak where they've been horrible, it's

416
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: twenty fifth.

417
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: Again, it's like that's bad. But then yeah, again, we

418
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: do this every episode when we look at the processedats,

419
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: we looked at the chase rate, and we looked at

420
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: the hard hit rate, and those are still good. So

421
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: at the end of the day. It's just you have

422
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: to just someone just has to be great. That's what's

423
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: coming down with Last year was Lindor the beginning of

424
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: the season was a Lonzo for a while. A couple

425
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: months ago it was so though, like it's just but

426
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: there has to be more cohesion, has been more consistency. Also,

427
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: this is also magnified because we just have to be

428
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: in every fucking close game. You can't just blow a

429
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: team out. We don't have these leads, so every time

430
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: these guys fail, we see it much more readily. And

431
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: again that it gets compounded by the fact that every

432
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: day we usually two guys in life that just can't

433
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: hit it each So all this happens then like a

434
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: game on Saturday, we're running. Ratos played a great defensive

435
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: third base off season. He has by far his worst

436
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: game at their base that I've ever seen him have,

437
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: And like that gets magnified because you don't score enough runs.

438
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: And then because theholmesside of the game is like everything

439
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: just keeps compounding and snowballing, which comes back to what

440
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: I've been saying that they're just playing tight. Carlos Bindoz

441
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: is managing tight. I think David Stearns is GMing tight.

442
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: I think the hitters and hitting tight. The pitchers are

443
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: pitching tight. I just think that this team right now

444
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: hasn't really loosened up this year to the point that

445
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: we thought they could have even should have hoped they

446
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: still do.

447
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: It's so frustrating.

448
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: It's just like it's a pretty unenjoyable baseball to watch

449
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: right now.

450
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: It's like Ryan watch. It is exhausting.

451
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: Like today's game is like, oh my God, Like can

452
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: we put a run across the board? Can we hit

453
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: the ball with some authority? Can we put a ball

454
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: over the fence?

455
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Like It's just.

456
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: Ironically, the guy who was in the middle of both

457
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 3: the rallies in the first two rallies in this game

458
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: was Luis and Helicunya, who hasn't been able to hit

459
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: that he wouldn't have been able to hit wall if

460
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: he fell out of a boat for the last two months.

461
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: And we can't get the swing speed on the double.

462
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: And as soon as it happened, I texted you, I

463
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: was like, I need the swing speed. And Eric Chavez

464
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: has paid Baseball Savant hush money to make sure that

465
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: we don't see Luis on Helocunia swinging the bad harder

466
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: being successful.

467
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to subscribe with Mark's talking about right now,

468
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: every single time a Hither puts a ball in play,

469
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: Baseball Savon has the bad speed as part of the

470
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 3: scoreboard metrics. And for some reason, Louis and Helaicunya's double

471
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: we have no bat speed recording. It's one of two

472
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 3: battered balls in this game that doesn't have a bad

473
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: speed reading on it. I have no idea what I've been.

474
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: I've been ready to quote sweet tweets for mets Up

475
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 3: about the double since he got the hit. When you

476
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: texted me that, I was already on Baseball Savan waiting

477
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: for that bad speed so I could play it in

478
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: the tweet. But for some reason we don't have it.

479
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: But again shatout him, like at least he played well,

480
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: having a game good game defensive as well.

481
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: Someone not a good game defensively. It's actually sure the

482
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: h Yeah, you're right, And in the first inning he

483
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: made that running throw for no reason that I also

484
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: his feet wherever the feet the whole game, well, I

485
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: was gonna say, bad throw. You gotta take your time.

486
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: You had plenty of time.

487
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: TJ.

488
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: Friedle is a good athlete, but he wasn't fucking sprinting

489
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: it down the base where you need to make a

490
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 2: running throw.

491
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: And the kun has done this a couple of times now.

492
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: But Viento's I understand why they didn't feel comfortable with

493
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: him playing first base a lot either.

494
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: He I don't. I'm not sure how much better he

495
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: plays first base than like near you.

496
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: Right now, he's falling down, he's getting his feet mixed

497
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: up on the base. It was just I wish it

498
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: was a game that we could have had Keith, because

499
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 3: would have been like, oh man, oh brother.

500
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: And to be fair, I'll cut him from slack if

501
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't play first base. That the footwork can be

502
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: a little bit difficult at times.

503
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: So that that that's not like an easy adjustment we

504
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: know from Ralfael devers Hart just go across the diamond

505
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: with no practice.

506
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: But also like god, damn it, you can't do anything

507
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: productive for us right now, I think my life just

508
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: went out.

509
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: That's so funny.

510
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: I saw the guy I got a little dark though,

511
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: which just happened.

512
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: Like just went out. I forgot the charge before I

513
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 3: came to Jersey, damn it. But it's just he's I again. Yeah,

514
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: you told me you were going to be crashing the

515
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: yelling at the crowd high I knew I had to

516
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: check you and step back to you, and I got

517
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: more about this team. Yeah, keep going. But I'm just saying,

518
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: like some of these things you're talking about, while it

519
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: feels true, I don't really think it actually has been.

520
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: I do think the problem is that why.

521
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: Is it that the Mets have like the lowest They

522
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: are in the same group right now as the Royals

523
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: and Titan But if they hit the ball so hard,

524
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 2: why is it not falling. You can't just be this

525
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 2: unlucky forever. I mean, why not, because that's not how

526
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: this works. No one's ever this unlucky.

527
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: I guess. I mean I would say similar things. Literally,

528
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: I think the same thing is happening to another team

529
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: in the league right now, the Texas Rangers, like they're

530
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: they're the same thing is happening to them. On the

531
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: other side, they should have one of the best offenses

532
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 3: in baseball, and it's not even close that it's actually

533
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 3: closer to one of the worst offenses. The Texas Rangers

534
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 3: lineup right now looks makes our lineup look like look

535
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: like murtherers Road like the nineteen twenty nine Yankees, like

536
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: we can that was near for murthers Road whatever I

537
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: can't remember right now, but they like that's even a

538
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: degree past how bad we've been. Like if we've been bad,

539
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: that text Rangers team is what scored the few runs

540
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: and they were coming into like the most projected to

541
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: be the top offensive baseball. It's just it's I just

542
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 3: can't have to keep coming back to the tightness. But

543
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: I do think the tightness right now it's kind of

544
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: like a snake eating its own tail, because it seems

545
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: like every single person in the organization is a little

546
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: bit tight, way too tight. Like we saw it absolutely

547
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: painstakingly clearly in the first game, the first decision Carlsman

548
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 3: Dooz had to make coming out of the All Star break.

549
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: Black, I blacked that out.

550
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: I forgot about that because like Shaum and I have

551
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: pitches while coming out of the break. I actually when

552
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: they when I after we talked to you guys last

553
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 3: the schedule came out. I love the fact that they

554
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: went and I first started out of the break. Do

555
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: you're like, he's probably our best pitcher, is skillfully second

556
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: best behind Kodi, And I mean I don't even give Maybe Peterson,

557
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 3: I lo he hated it, but okay, I liked it.

558
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: I'll like be aggressive, push the envelope. Let's get him more.

559
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 3: He needs more work too. I don't want him that

560
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: long for the layoff four innings, the velossit dips down

561
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 3: in ninety miles an hour. I'm you gotta take him out.

562
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: Understand that, seventy pitchers. You gotta take my right stition

563
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 3: and take him out of the game.

564
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 6: End.

565
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 3: I'll even say this, putting out his career in that

566
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: game in the fifth inning, I don't think was a

567
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 3: disaster decision. I'm not saying I love that to same,

568
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: But at the same time, that wasn't something where I'm like,

569
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: this is ridiculous. How can we bring this guy in?

570
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 3: Because you do have to bridge the gap from the

571
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: fourth to the sixth, and at that time that was

572
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: he was facing eight nine one. Alex Crew should be

573
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 3: able to get eight nine to one, and he did

574
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: get eight to nine, and then he fucking hits TJ.

575
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 3: Friedler with a damn pitch in a two to one count,

576
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: a slider that was nowhere near the plate. And then

577
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: Matt mclaan hits a fat phone, fat fastball for a

578
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: home run. Damn that sucks. Blue lead to hate this

579
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 3: for some reason, and Carlos Mendoza echoed this in his

580
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: postgame press conference after that game on Friday. He then

581
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: brings Alex Carew back for the sixth inning after he

582
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 3: just had half an implosion in the fifth. He's right

583
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: now at the bottom of the totem pole and your

584
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 3: current relievers in your bullpen, and you bring it back

585
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: off for the sixth against the heart of the lineup.

586
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 3: This is not eight nine one because then Matt McLain

587
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: comes up and then Carew does strack out out Ellie

588
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 3: de la Cruz to end that inning. Then you're facing

589
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 3: Austin Hayes who's been on fire. Spencer Steer has been

590
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: on fire. Noel V Martello like he's he's there, Mauricio,

591
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: that guy's crushing the ball right now, and like Tyler

592
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: Steveson like these are good major league hitters. You're in

593
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: a one run game. Why why is that the case?

594
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 3: Because then the rest of this weekend, carlsm does maage,

595
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: especially Saturday down three, uses the best relievers. Yeah, so

596
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: this is the same thing we've been talking about about.

597
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: Why is there disconnect and the way you're managing these

598
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: games differently in the same situations, you're now handling them

599
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: differently gaming game out, which feels making me upset.

600
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: Process wise, organization feels disjointed.

601
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: It feels very I told you that everyone's tight.

602
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: I told you that Friday.

603
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: I was like, this is one of the first times

604
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: in like the Stearns era, we'll call it that where

605
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't I don't know what the plan is,

606
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what the game decision making is.

607
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't see the process.

608
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: Right now, it feels like the process has been crumpled

609
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: up into a low ball. They shot it at the

610
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: garbage and they hit an absolute fucking brick. They hit

611
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: off the side rim out Like there feels like there's

612
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: no plan. There feels like there's no process. It feels

613
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: like it is very much flying by feel and seat

614
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: of the pants type stuff, and we know that is

615
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: not the way to operate at all. Like this weekend

616
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: truthfully felt like we were watching fucking Aaron Boone like

617
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: manage this team, like the shit that was going on,

618
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Like really, like this is what's going on. It's the

619
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: decision that we're making I couldn't That one on Friday

620
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: was disturbing. I saw it was a disturbing decision for

621
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: a couple of reasons.

622
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: One Viento's hitting two. That's a disturbing decision.

623
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: There's no world where Mark Viento's I don't even know

624
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 2: if I want twenty twenty four Mark Vienzo's hitting second

625
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: in this New York Mets lineup. I know then Door

626
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: has been struggling, so you have to mix up the

627
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: line up a little bit. I don't want twenty twenty

628
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: four Mark Vianzo hitting second on this team. He hit

629
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: second the Careo one. When they brought him out for

630
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: the second inning, he hit eighteen pitches. I couldn't even

631
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: believe they brought him out for a second And that

632
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: was a stunning decision. And then the icing on top.

633
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: It's still what like a two run game or whatever

634
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: it is, and we just well we called a third

635
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: down punt. We're like third down, you know what, We're

636
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: deep in our territory the four.

637
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: Run game at that point. Okay, we went game and

638
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 3: it was just that was because of the second Creo inning.

639
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: Yes, but and Waddell was up though early he was

640
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: a guy that they were considering using anyway, and I

641
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 2: was like, really, out of the All Star break, everybody's rested,

642
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: none of these relievers have been used.

643
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: That we're going Koreo Waddell. How is that the answer?

644
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: I just especially again going back to the postgame press

645
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 3: conference after this game, I touched I touched on what

646
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: Mendos has said before. He basically said, once it was

647
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: losing by one, he's like, hey, we tried to get

648
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: one more out of Koreo. Why this is first came

649
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 3: out of the break, everyone's rested, and then leaving him

650
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 3: in the game, he just totally implos he throws a

651
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: wild pitch, he throws another just it was. It was

652
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 3: a fastball right down the middle of Tyler Stevenson just

653
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: blasted to left field. Carea goes on the mic after

654
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: the game, and I thought, I, actually, I really liked

655
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: it perspective, that's honesty, where he was like, I'm gonna

656
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: be like, I'm gonna real with you guys, this is

657
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: my first time pitching here. Packed house. He said, this

658
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 3: place was crazy. It's like, I love the fans, I

659
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: love the support, but I was a bit overwhelmed on

660
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 3: the mount That is a key manager, get him out

661
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: of the fucking game. But he gives up a first

662
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: pitch home run, a fastball basically down the middle of

663
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 3: Austin hat to start the inning, and then after that

664
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: he walked Spencer Steer and four straight balls out of

665
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: the strike soon after getting strike one, and then during

666
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 3: the next bat he throws a wild pitch. He's freaking

667
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: the fuck out on the mound. Don't let this game

668
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: get out of hands. You're down two runs in the

669
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 3: sixth and you're going to get to the red bullpen suit.

670
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: It's like And also on top of that, I think

671
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: at nick Lo Dola retired sixteen of the final twenty

672
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 3: nineteen battersy face in that game too, after we put

673
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: the runs in the first two winnings.

674
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: So it's just Mets, let him get into a rhythm.

675
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: We see a lot of pitches, and I can't remember

676
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: ever in my life watching the Mets that and back

677
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: to back days you score a run in the first

678
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: and second ending and finally lose both games. I get

679
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 3: mystified by that. But it's just there were so many

680
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: little things that happened that game on Friday, where I

681
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: was sitting there being like, how could this be the

682
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: decision that was made? And it's like, this is the

683
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: I'd never felt this way about Mendoza at anytime last season.

684
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: I'm still not this is definitely still not anti, but

685
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 3: it's still just like it's like, what was the idea here?

686
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: It's like why the logic was seemed gone? And I

687
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 3: shout out Laura Albany's because she was pressing Mendouz a

688
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 3: little bit on the decisions with Careo and with Brandon Wadell.

689
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 3: I mean, she's taking she taken it to me. Only

690
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: Seed said, that's a great reporter right there.

691
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 2: A lot of the Mets reporters don't ask any hard

692
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: question all. Like she was like, hey, Career for the

693
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: second inning, what was logical by them? And I was like, yeah,

694
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: we want to get a second inning out of him.

695
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 2: She was like why with the full rested bullpen? And

696
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: they also break said like what was the logic? It's

697
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: like he just kind of like played it off. It's

698
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 2: like maybe there's something. Maybe they didn't expect Manya to

699
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: not be able to get to five. Maybe when that

700
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: volosity went down they freaked out a little bit because

701
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: again he threw an eighty nine mile on an hour

702
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: fastball in that fourth inning, and he was electric in

703
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 2: that first mania, and then you kind of saw it

704
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: tick down a little bit.

705
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: He did start to lose command. The fastball is still

706
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: getting swings and misses in the zone. Though even around

707
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: ninety ninety one, which is where he was a lot

708
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: of the time last year, he did get up to

709
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 3: He pushed like ninety four, ninety five, ninety six in

710
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 3: the playoffs I on occasion, but he's a ninety one

711
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: ninety three guy, and that's where he was most that start.

712
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 3: He was missing bats in his zone. Like that was

713
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: when I was watching Manaia, I was like, this is

714
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: the good Deanaia. I was like, this is awesome, Like

715
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: this is exactly what we want. Just even sixty nine

716
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: pitchers through four innings, it's not like super efficient, but

717
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 3: it's also fine for guys second appearance of the year.

718
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 3: It's like, I there was no way will to anything

719
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 3: pretty efficient.

720
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's totally funny.

721
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: He could have easily gotten six if he would have had

722
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: one hundred pitches in the tank easily. So it's just

723
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: like it's almost like they were surprised that they only

724
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: got seventy pitchers out of him. But also they kind

725
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: of seemed like the plan. And then and then also

726
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: get on top of that, like the bats just went

727
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: completely absent for seventh straight innings.

728
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, just see that.

729
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: They allow these pictures to get hot, like I get

730
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: comfortable once little Thank god he jumped on that fastball.

731
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: I was right down the middle that Nicolodola threw. And

732
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: then after that, it was.

733
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: Like, so that was that was the that was the

734
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: hardest home run. Why so it's ever hit in his career.

735
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: I have the pissed by the sandolo because I rather

736
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 3: bad for NBC. On Friday after that, did Jeff McNeil

737
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: rbi single after the Brandon was stolen base a second,

738
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 3: Ladella retired ten in a row and seventeen in the

739
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 3: final nineteen batters he faced, which also can we like, uh,

740
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: I understand.

741
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: I think what Mendoza and the Mets are trying to

742
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 2: do by hitting McNeil a little bit lower in the lineup,

743
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 2: I think we gotta throw that away. I think we

744
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: just gotta be like, bottom of the lineup sucks. Whatever happens, happens,

745
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: don't even it out. Nothing says Summer like long days,

Speaker 3: off hit there, and it's like everything gets pushed down

777
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 3: a little bit, and Brendon Nimmo continues to hit lefties

778
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: so well, Jeff Beckill till where it's just like, why

779
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: are we maneuvering this lineup so much? Like I understand

780
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: the platoon situation, but like, can't fian just can't hit anybody.

781
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: If Mark Fiento's was Pete Alonzo and you're like, we

782
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: gotta get into against lefties, sure, totally.

783
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: He's so fucking bad this year. He's horrible. He's terrible.

784
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: There's not a redeemable quality about his game in twenty

785
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: twenty five. He cannot be the decision to get the

786
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: second most theoretical at bats in the game.

787
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: It does. It's it is fucking stupid. That's a dumb

788
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: person decision.

789
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: Imagine for a second, after the rally puts again in

790
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: the ninth inning, Let's say Francisco Lindoor instead of popping out,

791
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 3: gets a single through the hole.

792
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: It's all I was saying on my stream. I was like,

793
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to Mark Fiento's hitting. Fucking second,

794
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe it.

795
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: Lindor shited down his leg, But like I couldn't believe

796
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: that it was gonna come down.

797
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: To Mark Viento's possibly.

798
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: Imagine also at the end of April, if I told

799
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: your brand Nemo would be well passed Francisco and door

800
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: in Ops by the middle of July be shocking well

801
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: clear of him. Right now, it's just it's it's again.

802
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: This it all comes back to, I think a lot

803
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: of tightness because then again, before we even get to

804
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 3: the game. In the celebration of David right on Saturday,

805
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 3: Brandon's Broke has another tremendous start for Triple A. He

806
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: hasn't given up a running almost a month right now,

807
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: and it's like, I know that there probably are still

808
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: some concerns in the organization about whether or not Brandon's

809
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: Broke can get left handed batters out. I get that,

810
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 3: but we're throwing guys every couple of days, like Brandon Wadell.

811
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 3: They want to get right things they can't get. They

812
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: can't get right handed batters out, So we would rather

813
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: have Brandon's brother can't get He can't get left handed

814
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: batters out either. He can't get anybody out Brandon Wadell.

815
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: And this is now an idea that's really permeating the

816
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 3: mess journalists where John Harper was tweeting about it all night.

817
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: He's like Stern's has done this in the past. Tons

818
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: of teams do this, where like you bring up the

819
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: prospect picture and you let them bite off a little

820
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: bit of the apple. At the time, I think I

821
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: talked about Bill Walsh weirdly like a good bit in

822
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 3: this podcast because that was his take with rookies. You

823
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: give the rookies like four plays at a time, they

824
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: master the four plays, then you move on. I don't

825
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: know if Brandon's Broker just followed Manaia or Clay Holmes,

826
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 3: one of these starts, I think that'd be great. I

827
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: wouldn't think that'd be awesome because then if you bring

828
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 3: him in strategically so you don't de face the top

829
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: of the order until they get around a full time,

830
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: they pitched two to three innings a fourth inning, if

831
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 3: they're cruising, yeah, what, I really don't know why. The

832
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: only shred of logic we can find from that is

833
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: that if they're actually considering trading them the deadline. But

834
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 3: I don't see that as being even remotely likely considering

835
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 3: the options that they're available. No, Like, yeah, with the

836
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 3: options available, I actually definitely don't want to trade these

837
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: guys because I think that these guys have value to

838
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: this major league team. I can think it can help

839
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 3: them win, and I do think there needs to be

840
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 3: a serious look at how this roster.

841
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: Is constructed, and we got to cut some of the fat.

842
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: Now from the bullpen side, I understand there's there's five

843
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: major injuries to guys that were expected to be in

844
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 2: this bullpen pretty much all year long, and I do

845
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: think people forget that, and the bullpen has been horrible,

846
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: but AJ Minter was a major piece that the Mets

847
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: signed out for the year. Max Crank was suppose used

848
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: to be an arm in this bullpen. Him and dead Neielle.

849
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: You could share those two together, right. Jose Budo has

850
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: been missing for a couple of weeks with the weird

851
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: illness that I think he's eventually gonna come back from.

852
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 1: He's been great this year. As much as like there

853
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: was that weird little moment with Buddo.

854
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: You look back, he's got a sub three yr He's

855
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 2: been fantastic Jose Budo and then Danny Young. I know

856
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: he's not the world beater Danny Young by any means,

857
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: and Brooks Raley now is kind of taking that role

858
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: with shout out Brooks back looked great, fucking lost OFSRAELI

859
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: happy to have him back to use him yeah on Friday,

860
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: would yeah. But like there's definitely there's injuries that are

861
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: affecting this bullpen. Understand it because people like it's a

862
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: triple a bullpen.

863
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: It looks horrible. We're not.

864
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: We're not denying that, and the Mets need to go

865
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: out and get guys because of these injuries. But at

866
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: the same time, I think we have to start cutting

867
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: some of the fat on this team, or at least

868
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: bring up the guys that are playing well in Triple A.

869
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna I'm I'm making a claim that I

870
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: want to se Drew Gilbert on this major league roster

871
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: soon for whose spot hot take? I think if I don't,

872
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: we don't know what's going on with Siri. I don't

873
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: think we need I don't think we need a Kunya

874
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: on this major league roster right now. I think I'd

875
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: rather have Drew Gilbert than Akunya. And I'd rather have

876
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: Drew Gilbert play against the righties and let Tyrone play

877
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 2: against the lefties.

878
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: And I think I think that Kunya this is very

879
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 3: specifically trying to trade him. I think if they can't

880
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: trade him, they probably do wind up sending him down

881
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: and being like, all right, whatever. But this is David

882
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 3: Stern definitely being a little bit cute. And this is

883
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 3: also something too cute we have to acknowledge because these

884
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: are things that objectively, in a vacuum we do like

885
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 3: about David Stearns. Is that David Stearns wins on the edges.

886
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: We said all the time about Davids just wins on

887
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 3: the edges. These are moves to win on the edges.

888
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: And then also the devil's advocate of all this is

889
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: that David Stearns could be like, this is a team

890
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: playing a ninety one pace. That's a game out of

891
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: the first place, you know what I mean. So while

892
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 3: you're trying to be cute for this full month of baseball,

893
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: and then I hate that because we know how important

894
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: one game is in the course of a season, how

895
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: one game can make all difference. At the end, it

896
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: all still is working inside of the spectrum of what

897
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: we wanted actually to look like and how we wanted

898
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 3: to go. So this is there are two sides of

899
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: this coin. The same thing that we like about David

900
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: Searns now when he's nut cutting time and our feet

901
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: are against the fire. Now we're starting to kick a

902
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 3: screaming freak oather bat it. Oh, it's a little bit

903
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: about that us being like, all right, take a two

904
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 3: brothers gets a fucking trade deadline. Let's actually see what

905
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: this looks like. I just think that that's an important

906
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: date in this calendar. I just big knowledge.

907
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: I just can't see through it. I can't, I can't,

908
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: you can't read through it. Right now, I'm seeing fucking

909
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 2: Red Lake. I love Tyrone Taylor as a player. I

910
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: don't know how many more times I can see him

911
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: take at bats five games a week like he's just

912
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: so bad. Again, love Tyrone.

913
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: He's a great defensive center fielder, fantastic, awesome phenomeno. He

914
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: should be in the eighth and ninth inning every single

915
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: time when we know he's not going to get in

916
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: that bat. And he's fastest shit, so we can steal bases.

917
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: Great base runner.

918
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 2: But I'm seeing Drew Gilbert smacking the ball around in

919
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: triple A and he's what twenty four years old now

920
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: twenty five?

921
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: However old he is twenty four.

922
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 3: I think he's twenty three. I'm twenty four, he's twenty

923
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: twenty four. He turned turning twenty five September.

924
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: In September, I think we got to give this kid

925
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: a shot. He might just this Mets team.

926
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: While this might drive people crazy, and we've talked about

927
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: it off air a lot, and Robert Murray said this

928
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: as well. Probably gonna have a pretty boring trade deadline,

929
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: probably not gonna do anything really exciting.

930
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: And I hope to believers, I hope we're so wrong.

931
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: I want to be so so wrong.

932
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 3: Will you think Drew Gilbert so psa trip play.

933
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: Is I see it. It's seven eighty seven.

934
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 3: It's it's seven to sixty two.

935
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: Okay, so it updated for today.

936
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 2: But in the month of maybe yours update for to

937
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 2: take his fangras updates. Okay, yeah, seven eighty two. He

938
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 2: had another day where he had a hit or whatever

939
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: he was doing. But like he's under thirty percent hard

940
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: hit rate, the max exit vlos last one last two months,

941
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: he's got eight home runs.

942
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, as he actually playing center field though, don't care.

943
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: This Bets team can't score. If we're scoring three runs

944
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: a game, it doesn't really matter how.

945
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: Good he's playing center field every day.

946
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 5: Okay.

947
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 2: So I'm like, it doesn't really matter how good the defense.

948
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: If you're scoring three runs, it's like just hard to

949
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 2: win baseball games. You're not going to win very often.

950
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: So I think Drew Gilbert, even if him and Tyrone

951
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: Taylor fifty to fifty split time right now, I think

952
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 2: that gives his team one a little bit of youth,

953
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: a little bit of excitement. Drew Gilbert is a fucking

954
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 2: shithead where it's like he's kind of like a great Yeah,

955
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: I'd love This team needs some ship heads right now.

956
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: This is something we've talked about in the past, like

957
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 2: we need a low chaos right now. Maybe we're missing

958
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 2: Winker a lot too for that little edge that we had.

959
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 2: But like the fact that we think they're gonna have

960
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 2: a boring trade deadline. I think one of the ways

961
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: that you can bring in some good players. And we

962
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: talked about how we love a twenty fifteen deadline, like

963
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 2: this team would kill for a one ur Rebay Kelly Johnson.

964
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: We're not gonna get that veteran presence. I't think it's

965
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: gonna happen, but maybe there could be some youth guys

966
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: that come up. Maybe it's a given no uh, Drew

967
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: Gilbert a shot. Alfredz is coming back up on Monday,

968
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: which is awesome, Thank goodness.

969
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited.

970
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 2: He's been hitting the ball really, really hard. That's been

971
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: phenomenal to see down Triple A. Maybe it's broke, maybe

972
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: it's McLean, Maybe it's those guys.

973
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: They're just there needs to be some sort of freshness

974
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: brought to this team that feels very stagnant right now.

975
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: It's in you need infusion.

976
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 3: He's something you need, like a bit of a jolt again.

977
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 3: This is what I've been saying, stuck in them up.

978
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: Team's playing tight. Yeah, like you need the youth to

979
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: do that. I do think that guys like Baby and

980
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 3: Risio have helped out a bit.

981
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: But base playing great.

982
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 3: It's very good baseball player. I'm very high that we're

983
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 3: getting to the spot of Brett Bailey where it's like,

984
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 3: day after day you're like, I can I can trust

985
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 3: that Brett Baby will take that bats and play good defense,

986
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 3: like that's.

987
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: All he does.

988
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 3: That's a comforting thing. But at the same time, it's, well,

989
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 3: I just can't go over the tightness of this team.

990
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 3: Like maybe it's Aalveraz kind of comes back up because

991
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 3: now we know he's coming back up from Monday's game.

992
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 3: Maybe he doesn't. But Francisco Alvarez when he was down there,

993
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 3: they just told him fucking warhacks.

994
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: And he did, and what do you know, he was

995
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: hitting home runs.

996
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: His contact grade is it was low, strikeer rate was high,

997
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: but they were like, just take hacks, Like maybe that's

998
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: what it has to be. Just take some fucking hacks.

999
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 3: But also like as Alvarez coming back up, funny, this

1000
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 3: is the best Torrens is hitting like a month and

1001
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 3: a half. Even though he made one of the worst

1002
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 3: defensive players ever seen a catcher making that game on Saturday,

1003
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: it was still I just do something, just as not

1004
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 3: clicking back in and again with I think also a

1005
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 3: big problem is that there's still this desperation of getting

1006
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 3: Mark Fianto's going, yeah something at this season, we might

1007
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 3: have just cut the Mark Fianto losses because the bats

1008
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 3: still don't look good. He still is not hitting the

1009
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: ball hard really ever besides those couple of bad of

1010
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 3: balls the week before the All Star and then he's

1011
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 3: still hitting a prominent spots the lineup every single day.

1012
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 3: And even it's not even like he's splitting up the

1013
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: rights and lefties, like in the game on Saturday, he

1014
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: hits fifth in between Pilonzo Jeff McNeil. It's like, I'd

1015
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 3: much rather McNeil hitting in that spot, Like I just

1016
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 3: every single time he comes up, I'm like, I don't.

1017
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 3: There's just he doesn't strike any ounce of fear into

1018
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: the opposing teams.

1019
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: And you talk about so slow, and the teams are

1020
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: just like fastball, fastball, fastball fastball, and then he's like

1021
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: he fouls it off.

1022
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: He fouls it off. He fouls it off, and he's like, Okay, I.

1023
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: Think a fastball might become the curveball in the dirt

1024
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: and he's fucking one hundred feet n even close to it.

1025
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 3: And just you talked about like it'd be cool for

1026
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 3: this team to have to be able to get like

1027
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 3: a Wanda Rebery or Kelly Johnson. That's Mark Fiento's's roster spot. Yeah, no,

1028
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 3: I know that, but that's where the stuckness is. Where

1029
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: it's like, does a player twenty to twenty six roster

1030
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 3: spots are so precious, specially, only four of them are

1031
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 3: used on bedshitters. So when there's someone that doesn't have

1032
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 3: versatility and is not pretty so much the table right now,

1033
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 3: it's just not as hard to find his. I don't

1034
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: know what he's doing. He did him and he did

1035
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: driving a run that game on Saturday, one of the

1036
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 3: two runs, so I guess maybe it'd be a little

1037
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: hard specifically.

1038
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: But whatever. He hit two home runs the other night too, So.

1039
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 3: I mean Fantas hit the single in the first like them.

1040
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Fantos baby drove in the only runs

1041
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 3: and David right day, I think, really go figures. But

1042
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 3: I just it's he's nothing you can do with him.

1043
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: I don't. Again, Like similarly, how I feel about this team,

1044
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't.

1045
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 2: I can't see how he gets out of what he's

1046
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: doing right now, besides being a different person than he is.

1047
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 3: But then where what happened last year? How did that happen?

1048
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 3: Was that the vine intervention? I mean, was it the

1049
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: kinship of living things? Why was he doing that?

1050
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: Think about the conversations that we had off air, We

1051
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 2: didn't know how he was doing it. None of them

1052
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: made any sense at all. Maybe that's just what it was.

1053
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: Like you just told me the Metro just getting unlucky

1054
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: this year. Maybe he just got lucky for an entire year.

1055
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, But also he was hitting the ball much harder,

1056
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 3: he was weighing much harder, Like the boundary was very high.

1057
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: You know, I got to make sure.

1058
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: I hate being right about this.

1059
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: He didn't.

1060
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: He didn't have a good year last year, James. Didn't

1061
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: you know that he hit two sixty. I want to

1062
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: see you hit you know, to eighty.

1063
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 3: It's such a good fuck year last year. Should win

1064
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: the Silver Slugger. But just it's someone just has to

1065
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 3: find a way, because even this game you play like shit.

1066
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 3: Rizio makes the error, like Clay Holmes gives up a

1067
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 3: bunch of dinks and doings as you always does. Still

1068
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: pitches a fine still pitches a fine game overall, just

1069
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 3: literally a lot of bullshit. And then rigarritts again or

1070
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 3: even got the ground ball he needed, just threw the

1071
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: ball wide. Then then the Q shot goes down to

1072
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: the right full corner. Afterwards, you have so many chances

1073
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 3: right after that, even if you score one run the

1074
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 3: following inning, when you have Basis lowly one out and

1075
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: brand Nemo at the plate, do you feel like you're

1076
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 3: back in this game? You shift momentum back the Reds bullpen.

1077
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: They're not a bunch of world beaters, like they've had

1078
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: pretty good seasons. They're bullpen. I think it's objectively fine.

1079
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 3: I don't. None of these guys strike fear into me,

1080
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 3: and you push Amelia Paganta throw forty five pitches in

1081
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: the first two games the series, and two games you

1082
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: weren't even really close to winning at all. It's like

1083
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 3: you should have been able to jump on these guys

1084
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 3: a little bit more so, but it's just you can't

1085
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: scrounge up and get that momentum back. Just can't do it.

1086
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: And then while so the was inches away from hitting

1087
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: home around the Ties game, Yeah, that's just those just

1088
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: the bricks.

1089
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: But that's that's that's baseball season. I guess. I don't know.

1090
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm so frustrated. I'm so frustrated watching this team.

1091
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: It's just it feels like ground Hog's Day over and

1092
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: over again. It's just like, do the same thing, hopefully

1093
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: it works today. It didn't work today, Okay, let's try

1094
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 2: it again tomorrow. Oh, it didn't work today. It worked

1095
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: on Sunday though, because they won even though they scored

1096
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 2: three runs. But it's like, I think, I think there's

1097
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 2: an objective problem somewhere. I like to blame Eric Schovs

1098
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 2: and Jeremy Barnes. Those are my favorite scapegoats. I want

1099
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: them gone and I'm gonna continue to do that until

1100
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 2: they are, especially because they're not Sterns guys, and they're

1101
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: not Mendoza guys either. They were there from the past regime,

1102
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: so I don't know why they're still here. But that

1103
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: being said, the Mets are playing like shit, just terrible.

1104
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 3: And also I do Gary had a great comment too

1105
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 3: about the game on Saturday Sunday. Also, they're getting crotchety,

1106
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 3: Gary Keith ronic getting crotchty. How we getting crotchty? These

1107
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 3: people are watching this game, these games every single day.

1108
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm so positive, I'm so fucking crotchety.

1109
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: Me and Gary are like this. I always say, you,

1110
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: Mark Leno, Gary Cohen, just like this, just like this.

1111
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 3: They said that the Mets haven't had it. I forgot

1112
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 3: it now. I should have wrote it down when I

1113
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 3: was watching the game. Mets haven't had a picture like

1114
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 3: getting out in the seventh inning since, But that wasn't

1115
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: David Peterson since like may or something.

1116
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: You know, what's crazy is is I like, I feel

1117
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: like we really do hyper focus on it, and I

1118
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: just I don't even think that's even close to the problem.

1119
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: I don't think so either, But I do think it's

1120
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: like that is how this ballpen thing looks worse than

1121
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 2: worse day after day.

1122
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: But especially because five guys are hurt that was supposed

1123
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: to be.

1124
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: Here, and we also get into this game and and

1125
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 3: reed Garrett gets pulled with a man on first and

1126
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: two outs. I thought that was a kind of another

1127
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 3: tight move by Carlos Mendoza. Red Garrett just got two

1128
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 3: guys out and then I think, didn't he hit? Was

1129
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 3: did he hit McLain? I forgot. I have exactly not

1130
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 3: eighth inning. I'm pulling up the game block right now.

1131
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 3: But that was a situation where I was like, really like,

1132
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 3: now he walked Matt McClain. Yeah, But like I was like,

1133
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 3: now he's going to Diaz with a man on first,

1134
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 3: who you know is going to second if he has

1135
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 3: comes in the mound.

1136
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: And then Diaz hit him and in the run and

1137
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: then we couldn't use Diaz of the ninth and it

1138
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 2: was up to stand and who.

1139
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: Got a splitter? Got a splitter?

1140
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: Wif to that to get another splr whift today and

1141
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 3: he got a couple of fastball with But also like

1142
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: the first ball that ending I thought was going out,

1143
00:42:59,400 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: they went to the.

1144
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 2: Nooelvie Borte hit it four oh seven to the four

1145
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 2: to eight. It was at the game with Ernie and

1146
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: I just I put my hands in my head. I

1147
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: was my head in my hands. I was like, oh

1148
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: my god, that ball's fucking nuked.

1149
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 3: But again, this is another thing with the process of Mendoza,

1150
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: where It's like, first of all, Okay, the game you're

1151
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 3: losing on Saturday, you bringing a lot of your better relievers.

1152
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 3: Now the game you're winning on Sunday, you're bringing the

1153
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 3: better relievers again. But now you don't trust re Garrett

1154
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 3: to get through the good hitters like I. And then

1155
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 3: after Diz gets in trouble and he did look like

1156
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: you freaked the funk out. I mean the walk and

1157
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 3: the hip and the hits batsman to let the game

1158
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: tying run come in. He gets back, he strikes a Stevenson.

1159
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 3: You were willing to give him a four out saved.

1160
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 3: Now you don't bring it back for the ninth. Yeah,

1161
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 3: and give Ryan Stanek, who's been giving up runs left

1162
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 3: and right, Like this is it keeps going in the circle.

1163
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, why is that the decision that's being made.

1164
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 3: I can't see the process anymore.

1165
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: No, that's that's my honest, truthful, biggest issue, both sides,

1166
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: everybody involved.

1167
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: I don't see the process right now.

1168
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 3: Shout out one so though, because that's what great players do.

1169
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 3: When he came up to begin that eight ending, he

1170
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: drew a tough walk. Was really a tough walk. He

1171
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 3: just took a walk that's a one. So it does

1172
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 3: boy a lot of tight pitches and the base as well.

1173
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 3: He went he got I thought there was a chance

1174
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 3: he could have scored and then making a double, but

1175
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 3: also was happy for him not to push it.

1176
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: I think.

1177
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: I think when Ellie caught that ball, Soto was just

1178
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: turning third, and Ellie Doctors has the best arm in baseball,

1179
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: so howitz there.

1180
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 3: But then Luis Rantz, who's had really good at bats

1181
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,959
Speaker 3: the last couple of days, even going into the break,

1182
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 3: he fight, he fights a long at bad foul balls,

1183
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 3: long count. He hits that ground ball and Soto just

1184
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 3: pops off. And there was someone who put it on

1185
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 3: Twitter that so though on that run had ninety third

1186
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: percentile sprint speed on that on that run from third

1187
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 3: to home.

1188
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: What yeah, holy shit, he was flying.

1189
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 3: I know, it was incredible. I'm gonna get his name right. No,

1190
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to find this sweet because it was such

1191
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: a good tweet. But I was like, that is yeah.

1192
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 3: And Antonio Slater onan solo had a sprince beeed twenty

1193
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 3: eight point four feet per second on this play, and

1194
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 3: it was it was a clip of him beating the

1195
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 3: throw home. That's a ninety third percentile major League base

1196
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 3: twenty eight point four twenty point four feet per second.

1197
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that is the ninety third percentile.

1198
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it might not be. People say wrong things all

1199
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 3: the time.

1200
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: That's twenty eight point four would put him in the

1201
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 2: top one hundred sprint speeds.

1202
00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably not can't be right.

1203
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 2: That's definitely sorry, harder in your stat but I think

1204
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 2: that's faster than he normally runs.

1205
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: He still went fast. He's had a great year. I

1206
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 3: want those hands. People told us once of the game here,

1207
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 3: that's be like he's gonna hit. Horrible defense, horrible based running,

1208
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 3: all a bunch of bullshit.

1209
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: He's been so good on the bases this year.

1210
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah he's cutting them. Well, he's going for the third

1211
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 3: except the twelve stolen bases, nimmos up to eleven stolen bases. Now,

1212
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 3: look at don't do that. No, I mean, but we

1213
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 3: don't give a ship. But he doesn't. It doesn't matter.

1214
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 3: But I just that was a great play.

1215
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 1: That was all slid.

1216
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 3: The whole thing was just like I'm the best player

1217
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 3: like I have. We have to win this game. I'm

1218
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 3: gonn I'm gonna help us win it. Right now, it

1219
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 3: would be nice to bait for baby help us out

1220
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 3: insurance runt there because he has mister risk. But again,

1221
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 3: you win this game, you hang on your salvage the series.

1222
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: Very important salvage this series because the Reds are a team.

1223
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 3: The nationally wildcard race has bunched up hard, hard, and

1224
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 3: it's going it's going to be like last year where

1225
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: you're going to need eighty eight to get in. Yeah,

1226
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 3: eight last year and we won tiebreaker to get in.

1227
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 3: Like I know, we're only a half game behind the Phillies,

1228
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 3: but we're also at the same time only to four

1229
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 3: games out of the Reds. So it's like it's fucking

1230
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 3: t It's very tight right now. You have to win games.

1231
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: These nationally games are incredibly important. There's a lot of

1232
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 3: good teams in this league. Fucking Marlins seven and a

1233
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 3: half games out, my Miami Marlins. But I'm just saying,

1234
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 3: like you gotta who have gotten swept this year? Is

1235
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 3: would have been a cadoch cosmic disaster in terms of

1236
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: what the rest of the season could have held.

1237
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: The Reds would be half a game back of us.

1238
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 3: We lost, we would have forty five losses. They would

1239
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 3: have forty seven loss. It's still two games back, but

1240
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 3: it went from a two to a four. It's a

1241
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 3: huge difference in the standings.

1242
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, oh two to four. Yeah, you're right, you're right, Yes, So.

1243
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 3: I get these these nationally games are very very important.

1244
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: So to think a sweep would have been a fucking disaster.

1245
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 3: And I almost offered have this game that we kind

1246
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: of deserved it. Peterston did really well to like absolutely

1247
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 3: just lock in, settle in hard in the middle. Brasubm

1248
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 3: look good. Reguarrett again. I don't know why he had

1249
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 3: to get taken out in that moment, but whatever. I

1250
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 3: just it's it's every single game. I can't really track

1251
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 3: or figure out what call from those is going to do.

1252
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 3: And that's part that's scaring me. Did we give him

1253
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: a little too much credit last year? But the whole

1254
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 3: thing with him is like, just be the vibe guy,

1255
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 3: and he was the vibe guy. Now the vibes are gone.

1256
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,479
Speaker 3: Why can't you have to try and pre ignite the vibes.

1257
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 3: You were the vibe guy. This is not it's all

1258
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 3: a little fucking tight. It's just the team is tight, tight,

1259
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 3: tight all the time. And I don't know how they

1260
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 3: loose it up.

1261
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: All right, the change the topic here, talk a little

1262
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: bit about David wright retirement ceremony.

1263
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: We were both in attendance for it.

1264
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 2: Uh, it's pretty cool. I mean, my my hot take

1265
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 2: is like, I think maybe retirement ceremonies are a little overrated.

1266
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. I shout out David Wright. I'm glad

1267
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: he got his day.

1268
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: He deserves it.

1269
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: It's nothing about that. But I will say the experience

1270
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 2: at the stadium I thought was completely fine. Is that

1271
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: Is that a hot take to say?

1272
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 3: I think that you get that take because we've retired

1273
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 3: the flight of numbers the last few years. That might

1274
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 3: be it. Because number retirements are supposed to be a

1275
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 3: special thing that happened every so often. We retired four

1276
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 3: numbers in two years. And I think the tightness of

1277
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 3: the oh yeah, five O. I wou keep forgetting about Kuzman,

1278
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 3: But I think that wait, Oh, I was going, oh

1279
00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 3: you're going Willie Mays.

1280
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 2: No, I was going Keith, Willie Mays, Darryl Doc, David Wright.

1281
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: That's five, and I.

1282
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 3: Mean Willie Mays was It wasn't a number of terrior

1283
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 3: missurve for Willie Mays did retire his number. But it

1284
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 3: wasn't like a day devoted to Willie Mays. It was

1285
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 3: like a moment to vote to Willie Mays. But yeah,

1286
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 3: I totally forgot about Kuza. That's my badge. I'm sorry

1287
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 3: to Kusman family. I do love Jerry Kusman. Doing a

1288
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 3: lot in quick succession doesn't happen very often. I do

1289
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 3: think it's smart that they did do it, because the

1290
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 3: will Ponds were just some cheap fucks and they didn't

1291
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 3: do it forever as times should have happened.

1292
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: That when David we mentioned the willpo Ponds that everyone

1293
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 2: bowed and my dad was like, you think he's gonna

1294
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 2: mention the Willponds when he's gonna get booed, Well, not him,

1295
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 2: they're gonna get booted. He cracked a little smile of

1296
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 2: I was like, that was that was one of my

1297
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: favorite moments. I still it was really I really like

1298
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 2: being the ballpark that day.

1299
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 3: I love David Wright. I think for us people are

1300
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 3: age specifically know a lot of you guys listening to this,

1301
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 3: who I've seen the first game of somebody's career and

1302
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: then watch their number get retired. That's kind of surreal,

1303
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 3: Like that's like a that's like an aging moment for us,

1304
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 3: Like that's like an eye opening moment for us. Like

1305
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 3: I remember the second that David Recat called up to

1306
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 3: the Mets eight. I was jacked up. I was so

1307
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 3: fucking excited. I also like, I have a funny David

1308
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: Wright story. I went to like the third or fourth

1309
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: game of his career. And at the time, I was

1310
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 3: in the Mets Fan Club for Kids, because of course

1311
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 3: I was, and the Mets Fan Club for Kids. Every

1312
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: year they would invite like they would invite you to

1313
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 3: the ballpark to do like basically like run baseball drills

1314
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 3: with like some of the guys in the team. So

1315
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 3: I was hanging out in the outfield before a game

1316
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 3: with Eric Flent Jason Phillips, who the who's who of

1317
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 3: the Mets bench in two thousand and four. He hated

1318
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 3: Jason Phillips and then, but I was still jacked up

1319
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 3: because like I got all the grass from baseball players.

1320
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 3: I had this little ball and I was going around.

1321
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 3: Then I was the Mests Fan Club for Kids. I

1322
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 3: was doing drills in the outfield, like I was. I

1323
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 3: want to see bating practice. I was like, I want

1324
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,439
Speaker 3: to see David Wright, but I was like, of course.

1325
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 3: We go down by the dugout in the old shay.

1326
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 3: You'd go right up there with those orange railings, and

1327
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 3: we're watching them take batting practice, and then right comes up.

1328
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 3: There were no nets back then, so we're talking, we're

1329
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 3: trying to get ball signed, and I go David, David,

1330
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 3: please tign my baseball. He was like, yeah, of course.

1331
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: At the same time he said to me, there was

1332
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 3: another eight nine ten year olds exactly next to me.

1333
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 3: The exact same thing happened. So we thought we both

1334
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 3: of us thought he was talking to us. We'll never

1335
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 3: know who was actually talking to both of us in Unison,

1336
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 3: throw our baseball to David Wright, the twenty one year

1337
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 3: old rookie. In one swooping motion. He caught them both,

1338
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 3: but he stashed mine in his back pocket and he

1339
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 3: signed the other kids and he passed it back to

1340
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 3: him and he looked at me and he goes, hey, man,

1341
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 3: did you throw your ball down? I was like, yeah,

1342
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 3: did you get it? Because I didn't see him do

1343
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 3: that slid the hands and he was like, oh no,

1344
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 3: I lost it. I don't know. It's like a drain

1345
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 3: down here. It might have gone down I'm really sorry,

1346
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, it's okay. Some of the

1347
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 3: other players signed up, like that's okay. I was like

1348
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 3: really sad about it, and he was like, I gotcha.

1349
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 3: Here you go, and he signed that baseball for me.

1350
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 3: I think it's around here somewhere. I think actually have

1351
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 3: it right on this desk right now that they were

1352
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 3: right this one. I have a couple over here. Oh,

1353
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 3: I want the one. I want the one with David

1354
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 3: right ed Eric fo Lentz because it was so funny,

1355
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 3: like growing up and having that I can write and

1356
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 3: Eric and Jason Phillis. I can't find it right out.

1357
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 3: I know it's around here somewhere.

1358
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 1: But autograph, yeah, one hundred badly.

1359
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 3: I was, hey, I don't know what it's doing, but

1360
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 3: it was just it was funny, like I love David

1361
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 3: Wright growing up, Like David Wright was the centerpiece of

1362
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 3: those teams. David Wright, I think in the lexicon of

1363
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 3: baseball is not really well understood and he's very underrated

1364
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 3: just because of what the injuries did and how the

1365
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 3: dimensions of city field. As many times as the universe

1366
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 3: ms themselves tried to fuck David for the incredible career

1367
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 3: production like how cool he was, Like everything, well, nothing

1368
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 3: that was so cool is like the said David Wright's

1369
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 3: best friend of the team, Dave Reccano, the ballpenk catcher,

1370
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 3: being the fucking superstar, like the guy Captain America, highest

1371
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 3: play player on the team after a certain period of time.

1372
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 3: To your best friend's the bullpeny catcher, you're a dude

1373
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 3: like that. That's a that's a cool fucking guy. If

1374
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 3: you could, you can hang out with every single person

1375
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: top to the bomb in the organization. That was like

1376
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 3: one of my favorite things.

1377
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 2: You know what, I think I've been thinking about because

1378
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 2: when your dad told me that story yesterday, a great story.

1379
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: Your dad loved that story telling us me and the ball. Yeah,

1380
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: with the ball, it's awesome.

1381
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 2: I think part of maybe why I didn't feel like

1382
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 2: it was as special as Darryl or Doc or even

1383
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: Keith that we've seen in the last couple of years,

1384
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 2: maybe just because, like you mentioned, they he like the

1385
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 2: medicine technically do anything, Like no what David Wright was

1386
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: here and it was like a his whole career ending

1387
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 2: and like the whole day were Wright story is like

1388
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 2: pretty fucking sad, tragic.

1389
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's like maybe that was part of it too.

1390
00:51:59,160 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1391
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 2: I felt like there wasn't I'm trying to find the

1392
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 2: right words to say this. It just felt like there

1393
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 2: wasn't enough, like celebration.

1394
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: Does that sound right? I think there was a lot

1395
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: of celebration about this.

1396
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 3: I shout out Mets fans because we went, oh, fans, awesome,

1397
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 3: cit fans run. There was a guy next to me,

1398
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 3: probably late thirties, early forties, there with his wife and

1399
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 3: his little kid. His toddler slept through the entire ceremony.

1400
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 3: He bawled his eyes out, sobbed, sobbed. From the second

1401
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 3: that Howie Rose took the microphone, he was weeping, and

1402
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 3: I was like, hell, yeah, man, let's go, Like guys

1403
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 3: can cry too. But I think that the whole problem

1404
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 3: is that the whole David Wright story is just such

1405
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 3: a fucking tragedy. It sucks. And like that's also what

1406
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 3: I get the overwhelming feeling every time, like watching that

1407
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 3: documentary on Friday night, shout out Joe Krause and the

1408
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 3: whole SNYT and everyone who worked on that. I was

1409
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 3: just like, God, damn it, Like this even hers worse

1410
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 3: than I remember, because like not only two thousand and six,

1411
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 3: the best chances we wound up ever having you lose

1412
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 3: a series. He never should have lost your team. He

1413
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 3: never should have lost to two thousand and seven. Like

1414
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 3: the worst sports memory I think I'll ever have in

1415
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 3: my life. Two thousand and eight, another really good team

1416
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 3: blow it again and nine completely fall apart at the seams,

1417
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 3: and then moving to a new ballpark that ruined your

1418
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 3: best players and to all of his skills, and then

1419
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 3: you can never get a good team around him. You

1420
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 3: get a good team around him degenerate. This final issue

1421
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 3: has to retire soon thereafter after World Series that you

1422
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: also show the fucking one.

1423
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 6: It was just like.

1424
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 3: Rehashing all that. I was like, how the fuck was

1425
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 3: this real? Like maybe that was how did the Mets

1426
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 3: have like a generational player, like an absolute shrifire Hall

1427
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 3: of famer, and every single fucking thing went wrong A

1428
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 3: lot of it They're own doing at every single turn,

1429
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 3: every step of the way.

1430
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

1431
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 2: I uh again, I was glad I was there, and

1432
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 2: I'm glad I got to ring my dad to the

1433
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: game as well. That was cool and it was a

1434
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 2: cool moment. But I felt like and maybe this is

1435
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 2: just the nature of number retirement, which is possible. Maybe

1436
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 2: they're just cool moments and that's kind of just all

1437
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: it is. Like I it's not something that I'm like,

1438
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: what the fuck we're looking for?

1439
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1440
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes like you're expecting this bit. This

1441
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 2: is like some some special feeling, like this bigger, bigger feeling.

1442
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 2: I didn't get that feeling.

1443
00:53:58,920 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 4: I see.

1444
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 3: I have the opposite because because we were at the

1445
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 3: Keith one, we didn't go to Doctor Daryl last year. Also, never,

1446
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever forgive the mess retired docs

1447
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 3: number on a rainy Sunday in April that it was crazy,

1448
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 3: but this was the first one I actually did feel

1449
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 3: kind of a part of. And also it was cool

1450
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 3: on the ballpark that day. I was wearing my kids

1451
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 3: excel David right jers. Yeah, No, that was eleven. Like

1452
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 3: the fact that everyone out there, a bunch of dudes

1453
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 3: like us in late twenties, early thirties, just rocking old

1454
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 3: David red jersey. You saw freight numbers, you saw the

1455
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,439
Speaker 3: reboxing seconds. They were it was the model special shout

1456
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 3: out the old All Star Game jerseys, which were so

1457
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 3: many cool Why why were there so many All Star

1458
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 3: Game jerseys?

1459
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: Was that a big thing that we missed because we

1460
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: were kids.

1461
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 3: Because because at that time that was sick that he was.

1462
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 2: I guess he was the only All Star. Yeah, he

1463
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: was so good. He was almost won the home run derby.

1464
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 2: Like I even had David Wright All Star jersey when

1465
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 2: I was a kid. I was like, what, like we

1466
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 2: loved no one All Star jerseys anymore, but they also

1467
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 2: look like shit now.

1468
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, because that jersey one was super cool too.

1469
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 3: You never used to wear the All Star jersey, but

1470
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 3: they wore them because he was in the home run derby. True,

1471
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 3: so I think that was kind of a part of

1472
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 3: it as well. But I just I felt like it

1473
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 3: was cool. But I think that we've just done a

1474
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 3: lot of these last few years, so maybe that a

1475
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 3: little bit old had and also we're not gonna do

1476
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 3: another one of these for a very long time. No,

1477
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 3: But it was it's all fair. It's a great ceremony too.

1478
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 3: How we did amazing, like everything. It was very super

1479
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 3: super well done.

1480
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, super good job for David and deserved his day mightily.

1481
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just might I might just be

1482
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 2: like turned off the Jersey retirement ceremony again, especially because

1483
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, it was it was sad.

1484
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: It felt more sad than fucking sad.

1485
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 3: Everything like everything sad.

1486
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: Keith and Darryl and Doc like those guys coming out

1487
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: like like the cheer is like a like yeah, like

1488
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: remember the fucking good old days, and David like.

1489
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 2: Oh, like was like fuck yeah, and it was like,

1490
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 2: oh my god, this hurts, Like God, damn it, man,

1491
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: you should retire.

1492
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 1: Like two years ago. Like what happened.

1493
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 3: There was so many things that almost like even the

1494
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 3: nature of the retirement with the willpods, with the insurance

1495
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 3: that they've already even touched on in documentaries. Just like

1496
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 3: the whole thing was like like you watched the Carlos

1497
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 3: Lee player just screaming at your TV. You're like fucking

1498
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 3: Walter White.

1499
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 2: Hank No, and like don't dive and then I'm sure

1500
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 2: also the fact that the Mets again ship down their

1501
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,399
Speaker 2: leg in that game to definitely did not help every

1502
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 2: single everything, but that was also a beautiful Masha David

1503
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 2: right just totally get totally let down by every other

1504
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,959
Speaker 2: person in the organization. Mets can't score in City Field

1505
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 2: Honor when you played here, and they looked terrible.

1506
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 3: When they were showing those old videos too, of like

1507
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 3: that first season. So if you get that home run

1508
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 3: against the Padres and they look at that ballpark, I'm like,

1509
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 3: what the fuck were these guys making?

1510
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 2: How did they ever think that this was a capable

1511
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:26,760
Speaker 2: Major League baseball stadium.

1512
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 3: Also, such a great story that Cliff Floyd told on

1513
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 3: Darren Me and seven Line a podcast that like part

1514
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 3: of the rookie hazing back in the day, was used

1515
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 3: to carry the bags to the airports. Rookies would carry

1516
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 3: the fatheran's bags. Cliffoyd also just dripping his swag all

1517
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 3: time left for he looks like he's in such good shape,

1518
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 3: so like good black Cliff Floyd's the man. So these

1519
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 3: David Reds carry clif Floyds back. Clifloyd's like it was

1520
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 3: mid long road trips. So I had some some new

1521
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 3: the mags back there, you know, ebony, big busty woman,

1522
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: this and that, and then the bag gets stopped by

1523
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 3: security in the card goes through. So look at David Wright.

1524
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 3: He was like it was like, yeah, just owned it.

1525
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 3: I was like, that's this is just a cool guy.

1526
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 3: Like David was just so fucking cool, like so cool.

1527
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 3: He was so damn cool like him and rays their

1528
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 3: relationship is so cool. Like it's amazing that Carlost, a

1529
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 3: guy who never really threw respect on anybody's name, really

1530
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 3: through that David Wright's name. Like that was like a

1531
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 3: big thing about those teams. It was just the whole

1532
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 3: thing was the whole thing was cool then, Like at

1533
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 3: the end of that documentary, I'm just like, the tragedy

1534
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 3: of this all is painful.

1535
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: Yes, No, I think that's just really what it was.

1536
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: It was just like umber horrible.

1537
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 3: Just I was like, I think I heard so much

1538
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 3: then I did a really good job compartmentalizing it over

1539
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 3: the last twenty years and then getting rehashed. I was like,

1540
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 3: when they blew that lead two thousand and seven, I

1541
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 3: changed me forever as a human. Yeah, that's just actually everyone.

1542
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: I think if you were a Mets fan, it didn't

1543
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 3: change you. You got problems. You should probably weren't a

1544
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 3: mess fan anymore. Just so great that I love David Wright.

1545
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 3: Very happy has moment. Yes, I'm so underscored by the sadness. Yes,

1546
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 3: no one should ever wear the number five again. Nobody

1547
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 3: will wear the number five again. Shout out the one

1548
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: shinjow Jersey that we saw.

1549
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they did the trivia during the game,

1550
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 2: who was the last guy to wear number five?

1551
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 3: Nailed it? Just as funny as hell. That was so

1552
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 3: funny looking back when David had that last game in

1553
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, and it's just like, why was Jose Rays

1554
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 3: on the team? Why was Jose Race? I meant twenty eighteen,

1555
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 3: there's a lot of guys on that team. You'll be like, huh,

1556
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,479
Speaker 3: it's a really It's also a real shame that Mickey

1557
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 3: Calloway was part of that moment because he met just

1558
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 3: had a Predators a manager and like he actually pulled

1559
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 3: David red Abbs final game.

1560
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jose Ray is Uh what was his ops that

1561
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,439
Speaker 2: year with the Mets. He played one hundred and ten games,

1562
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: by the way, six thirty seven, five to eighty.

1563
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: So that's so bad twenty eighteen Mets are like run

1564
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: him out for one hundred and ten for the vibes.

1565
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 3: All right, we gotta get this over with. Let's uh

1566
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 3: preview the Angel series coming back next. Oh my god,

1567
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 3: do you guys else but David right, and just you

1568
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 3: being upset at the world.

1569
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm just upset I'm just so mad. This team's not bad,

1570
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: but god, they're playing so bad.

1571
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 3: Uh So, if we got pitching matchups this Angel series,

1572
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 3: you're rays really lose your mind.

1573
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the Angels are playing really good baseball.

1574
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,479
Speaker 3: We are going to face in the first two games

1575
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 3: of this series, Tyler Anderson and Kyle Andris.

1576
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, great met killers. These guys just like coming to

1577
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: City Field and like, what if I throw a complete

1578
00:58:58,520 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: game shutout?

1579
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna breaking Monday.

1580
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: Who am I seeing to? Who am I seeing today

1581
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: at the ballpark? When I go there?

1582
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:10,479
Speaker 3: Codessangle versus Tyler Anderson, God Tuesday, Frankie Mantis first, Kyle

1583
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 3: Hendricks Wednesday. There's no starter listed, not a lot of

1584
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 3: the fastballs in that game. No starter is listed for

1585
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 3: the Angels, but we're going to have Minaya and a Mattine.

1586
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 3: I'm going on a different website now, try and find

1587
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 3: that schedule.

1588
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: But I think there who started Friday for that whatever,

1589
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter.

1590
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 3: I'll find it.

1591
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: I got you right now. I'm the lower up.

1592
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 3: But I also suld we should mention this Angel team

1593
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 3: is definitely not as bad as you guys probably think.

1594
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 3: I'll say that we're not going to face Oh, that's

1595
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 3: going to be a bullpen day on It was Jake

1596
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 3: Either on Friday for them as as the bulk reliever

1597
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 3: it he got lit up by the Phillies.

1598
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 2: So just for that, for everybody out there, I have

1599
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 2: nothing to say, nothing to say, nothing to say about

1600
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 2: the bullpen game.

1601
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 3: But again, talking about this Angel team for a second,

1602
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 3: say it to you guys before they just took two

1603
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 3: of three from the Phillies in Philly. It's a very

1604
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 3: difficult thing to do and they should have swept them.

1605
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 3: It's not for miraculous Kyles Shwarper home run. Their lineup

1606
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,479
Speaker 3: is full of acceptable bordering on good Major League killers.

1607
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 3: And that's the damn truth. What I respect the.

1608
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 2: Hell out of the Angels right now. They hit home runs.

1609
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 2: They go up and they're like, let's let's hit home

1610
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 2: runs every single time. Mike Trout seventeen homers, Joe Adell

1611
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 2: twenty one homers, Taylor Ward twenty three homers, Logan O

1612
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 2: Hoppy seventeen, Zach Netto fifteen. This lineup hits home runs

1613
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 2: and that's a huge reason why you look at this

1614
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 2: roster think it's underwhelming.

1615
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: And then you look at the record and they're kind

1616
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: of in it right now. In the American League, they're

1617
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: they're fighting for a playoffs.

1618
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 3: They can they can't get themselves to a playoff spot. Also,

1619
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 3: their interim manager, who took over for Ron Washington, is

1620
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 3: a for them.

1621
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Alump who is their interim manager.

1622
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 3: I'm getting his name right now. I've had it and

1623
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 3: I just totally lost it.

1624
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: But now for this Angels team, I think one guy

1625
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 2: to highlight, specifically Joe Adell, your guy, Joe Adell.

1626
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 3: Never wrong. Just Y Montgomery for them, Alum.

1627
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 2: Ray Montgomery, that's strong name. But Joydelle has been smacking

1628
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 2: the base. He's gonna strike out a ton, that's that's

1629
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 2: his thing. But if you hit twenty one home runs

1630
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 2: in ninety games, I don't really care how much you

1631
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 2: shrike out.

1632
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 3: Kay's Also, the strikeout rate is twenty four percent this year.

1633
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 3: That's much lower than it's It's barely league average. Yeah,

1634
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 3: last year was twenty eight and this year it's down

1635
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: to twenty four. Joe Withdell, this is again it's a

1636
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 3: great lesson. Just you don't quit on guys with the

1637
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 3: league tools, top of the league, bat speed, unbelievable.

1638
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: Raw Poswer literally deemed the next Mike Trout at one

1639
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 2: point when he was a prospect because he was a

1640
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 2: freak athlete and hit the ball super hard.

1641
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 3: That's not fair to anybody. I never but Joe Adell

1642
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 3: has super turned the corner this year. He looks like

1643
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,919
Speaker 3: actually a legitimately quite good baseball player. He could still

1644
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 3: run well again. He hits the ball ridiculously hard. His

1645
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 3: emergence has kind of tied this lineup together because trouting

1646
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 3: healthy helps a lot. Nolan Shanniel, as much as you

1647
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,919
Speaker 3: hate him, it's just the consum to two hit there, guys,

1648
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 3: a seven to sixty ops. Why doesn't hit the ball

1649
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 3: very hard? He finds his way on base all the time.

1650
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 3: Zach Nell is a dude. The shortstop. Taylor Wards baseball player,

1651
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 3: Taylor War's almost Andrea players in baseball'll go out of

1652
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 3: the limit. I'll go out and say that right now.

1653
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 3: He's getting thirty five homes this year.

1654
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 6: He's just awesome.

1655
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's uh like one ten one twenty WRC plus

1656
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: for the last five years now.

1657
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: And fun story about Taylor Ward.

1658
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 2: I've got a personal story to share with the with

1659
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 2: the podcast Jabari Blash, friend of mine, former Major League

1660
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 2: baseball player, play for the Angels. I went to go

1661
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 2: see one of his games after he watched some videos

1662
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 2: of me like reacting to him and stuff like that.

1663
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 2: It was a deep meme on my channel. Went to

1664
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 2: a game in Chicago to go watch the Angels play

1665
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 2: the White Sox in what was I believe Otani's rookieyear,

1666
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 2: which is kind of crazy to look back at now.

1667
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 2: Is this close to show Aotani had no idea at

1668
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: the time. Jabari Blash is like, there's there's all these issues.

1669
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 2: Can't get on the field for BP. I'm talking to him.

1670
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 2: He's like, let's go to the cheesecake factory after the game,

1671
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 2: will go get dinner, We'll hang out.

1672
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy shit, this is so sick. I'm gonna

1673
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: go hang out with the major League baseball player, have

1674
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: dinner with him, and like, shoot the shit. We were

1675
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: in there for three hours.

1676
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 2: Taylor Ward comes up to the table starts talking to

1677
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 2: us when he's a rookie still kind of breaking out

1678
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 2: from being a catcher, and Jabari Blash and Taylor Ward

1679
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 2: against his deep conversation. Taylor Ward tells me he's like

1680
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 2: Jabari Blash is my role model, Like this is the

1681
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 2: guy I look up to. He's the nicest guy ever.

1682
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 2: And Jabari's like, yeah, like been a mentor to him,

1683
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 2: like when he was young. This guy's a good ballplayer.

1684
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 2: He may not know it now, but he's gonna figure

1685
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 2: it out soon. And Taylor Ward's carved out a very

1686
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 2: nice major league career for him. So shout out rookie

1687
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 2: Taylor Ward. When he was there and he was struggling,

1688
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 2: big fan, Jabari Blashes.

1689
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 3: Totally, And that's a really good story. I never even

1690
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 3: knew that. He never told me that we are lucky

1691
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 3: in this sears that we're missing the best two pitchers

1692
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 3: in this Angels seem Jose Soriano and yu se Kacucci

1693
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 3: both having quite good seasons. Gucci much more so. Soriano

1694
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 3: is a demon. And then we're gonna get probably a

1695
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 3: bullpen game, so we can keep her fingers crossed for that.

1696
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 3: This Angel's bullpen is pure unadult traded chaos as well.

1697
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 3: At the back somehow, Kenley Jansen just continues to be

1698
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 3: one of the best closers, most reliable closers in league. Still,

1699
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 3: he's gonna up like one runs as the middle of May.

1700
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 3: It's kind of obscene, actually that does happened. One earned

1701
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 3: run besides him. Names Re Detmers has emerged as a

1702
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 3: very very good believer. As much as the Angels try

1703
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 3: to ruin his career, redet Vers keeps just steam rolling

1704
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 3: pass and being decent. Jose Fermen throws hard. We were like,

1705
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 3: who's Jose for mean the other day? But he throws

1706
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 3: Hardrock has had his moments. Sam Bachmann another high draphic

1707
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 3: Dan Angels are actually trying to ruin Ryan Ryan Zephyr

1708
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 3: John had a really good start. The season has fallen

1709
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,959
Speaker 3: off an absolute cliff. Old Frank Connor Brogden and really

1710
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 3: old friend Carson Fomer is in this bullpen. He's six

1711
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 3: right in this bullpen.

1712
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like if you were opening baseball cards in

1713
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 2: like twenty fifteen. You've got a Carson Fulmer autograph somewhere,

1714
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 2: I promise you.

1715
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 3: But it's just this is this is a chaos team

1716
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 3: that's like grinding out a five hundred season, and they're

1717
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 3: like like also this like Rouinsey, Travis Darnaut, like Lamont

1718
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 3: they just signed Lamont Wade Joan Moncada like can swinging it.

1719
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: Well, they should, actually they should trade him, but.

1720
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 3: This is this is the gon't trade him to go

1721
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 3: for the playoffs. Like this is just an absolute chaos

1722
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 3: baseball team and they play like it. Just get ready

1723
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 3: for chaos baseball. And keep in mind they just took

1724
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 3: to Ether from the Phillies and Philly so this team

1725
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 3: can very easily win a series against you and your

1726
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 3: home ten. I will tell you right now, if the

1727
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 3: Mets played like they did against the Cincincatati Reds, they

1728
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 3: will not just lose this series, they will be swept.

1729
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 2: Because you can't. You can't score three runs a game

1730
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 2: against this Angels team. They're gonna hit three home runs.

1731
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen. You gotta be able to play. But

1732
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 2: I think that worst case scenario is gonna be pretty

1733
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 2: This is gonna be an interesting series to watch.

1734
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: You said it, not me. I have no comments. I

1735
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: know what the power of my words do AKA Scott Barlow.

1736
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, I was gonna I was gonna say three

1737
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 3: other word that starts with F. I'm also not going

1738
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 3: to say that because there is a good chance that

1739
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 3: the Mets get you. I mean, they're playing pretty poorly

1740
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 3: right now, so I'm not gonna say something fun I

1741
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 3: could lose. But also, we met so many guys this

1742
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 3: weekend the ballpark. I think it was so cool, like

1743

Speaker 3: see you guys come up to us, like it's amazing,

1744

Speaker 2: Mets fans made that day special for sure, brought the vibes,

1760

Speaker 2: Mets fans fault, that's for sure. Hopefully they wake up.

1762
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:06,600

1763
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 2: not this weekend.

1764
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:07,520

Speaker 6: I hope you boys have been wend I hope you

01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,480

01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 6: I was at a I was at a K pop concert.

1780
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,919
Speaker 6: But nice to end the series on a win. Let's

1781
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 6: keep the momentum going. Beautiful. To see David Wright's number retired,

1782
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 6: I cried during his speech. I'm sure everybody did. It

1783
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 6: was beautiful and let's keep winning for David Wright. All right,

1784
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 6: boys to take care. Man's talk to you soon. I

1785
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 6: can't talk.

1786
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

1787
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 3: They've right to have a great speech.

1788
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 6: This.

1789
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: I was really good just about it. I was like

1790
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: his speech was actually.

1791
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 3: Great right right, one hundred percent knocked out of the

1792
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 3: park with that speech, like he crushed it over and

1793
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 3: over again like he was he was dropping points, he had,

1794
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 3: he had jokes, he was incorporated the kids the level

1795
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame jacket for the little Brooks. That was awesome, sensational.

1796
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 3: That was a great touch by the mets on that

1797
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 3: one nice to Just the whole thing was very nice.

1798
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 2: I shout out his daughter throwing a great first pitch too.

1799
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 2: There was a lot of chaos. The daughter threw a

1800
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 2: pitch to the mom. I think the oldest daughter mom

1801
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 2: caught it to.

1802
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 3: That was an insane moment because I remember Olivia in

1803
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 3: that last David Wright game and seeing her be like

1804
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 3: an actual kid. I was like, Jesus, whoa, yeah, damn it,

1805
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 3: I am getting really old in front of my own eyes.

1806
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: But it was ended here real quick.

1807
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 2: Do you remember where you were for David Wright's last game,

1808
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 2: because I have a I have a weird place where

1809
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 2: I was.

1810
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 3: I just watched it in my house in college.

1811
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I was.

1812
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 2: I was evading a massive hurricane. That was coming to

1813
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 2: South Carolina and they closed out. They closed down school

1814
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 2: for a week. The year before, we had a thousand

1815
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 2: year flood and it closed school for two weeks, like

1816
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 2: no power, nothing, So there was another one coming. They

1817
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 2: closed school preemptively for the week. I drove drove the

1818
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 2: Memphis to go hang out shot my boy Wheels when

1819
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 2: he was living in Memphis. And it's just me in

1820
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 2: like a room by myself while like all the like

1821
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: degenerate YouTubers are sleeping at Chaos times because they had

1822
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 2: the worst sleep schedule ever for YouTubers sleeping in the

1823
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 2: same house. How crazy could that be? So I'm upstairs

1824
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 2: and I'm fucking bawling my eyes out watching David Wright's

1825
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 2: last game. He like wakes up, He's what's going on?

1826
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: Rights over? I can't believe it.

1827
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 3: I cried during David's last game for Big Time. Yeah, yeah, way,

1828
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 3: And I think I think it's teary eyes side today,

1829
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:35,600
Speaker 3: but it's like, don't so. I just I wish it

1830
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 3: would have one.

1831
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: It really would have made the vibe so much. But

1832
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 1: I think that's whatever.

1833
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this Mets fans, We're gonna play good baseball.

1834
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 2: The Mets are gonna come out swinging. They're gonna prove

1835
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 2: me wrong.

1836
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I just had to get rid of all the

1837
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: toxicity that was inside me from all this off.

1838
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 3: You were just being a little brat this whole time.

1839
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,240
