26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: are so so amped to just talk endless trash on

27
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: this Philadelphia Phillies team who we've seemingly played and feels

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: like every other series this year, and we've kind of

29
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: stomped them. It's been really, really nice and it was

30
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a great way to cap it off with this sweep

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: period to basically end the month of May. So we'll

32
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: go over all the games that happened this past weekend

33
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,920

Speaker 1: how you doing.

41
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: Good brother, Good brother, Solid weekends, said weekends for both

42
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: of us.

43
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Here, great weekend and the Mets sweep just makes it

44
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: that much better. I mean, we're kind of busy, so

45
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: if the Mets loss, it probably would have been okay

46
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: because we had other things going on, but a Mets

47
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: sweep on top of a great weekend.

48
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: I can't ask for much more, No, definitely, especially just

49
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: knowing that we had so many games against this Phillies

50
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: team and that it was going to be a lot

51
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: of games a very short period of time, something that

52
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: I talked a lot about before the season, even the

53
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: beginning of it, that was going to kind of set

54
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: the tone for this first kind of sector of the season.

55
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: The core there, the half, whatever you want to call it,

56
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 3: and the core they're the third whatever you want to

57
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 3: call it. We've done so far, and this flying color

58
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: is like a big reason for this mets incredible start

59
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: and the Mets being one of the best teams in

60
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: baseball right now is our handling of the Philadelphia Phillies.

61
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: There's no two ways about that.

62
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we have single handedly made the Phillies like,

63
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to say like uncompetitive because it's still

64
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: again fifty games into the season, but they're ten games

65
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: back of the National League East fifty games into the season,

66
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: and a big reason why is because we have just

67
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: handled them. We have not struggled against the Phillies really

68
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: at all this year, and this sweep I think just

69
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: further proved we are the better team and that was

70
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: something I know you said coming into the season. It

71
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: was this was a test over the entire stretch going

72
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: up to June because of how many games we played

73
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: and the Mets passed with flying colors.

74
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: I think absolutely and talk about like what we've done

75
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: to this team, Like the mess have single handedly put

76
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: Joe Girardi in the hot seat. Some Mets have single

77
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: handedly made the Phillies realize that Cory Knievel was probably

78
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: not the answer they thought they were getting at the

79
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: back end of their bullpen. The Mets have made the

80
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: Phillies guests question their entire lineup decision. The Met I

81
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 3: feel like we played this team twelve times, like the

82
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: lineup has been drastically different in every single series we've

83
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: played them. They're just constantly tinkering because it's not really

84
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: playing that well, and there's probably a hot streak in

85
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 3: this team. They're too talented for there not to be

86
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: if Bress Harbor can never throw a ball again and

87
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: actually give them competent outfield defense relatively speaking, But it's amazing, incredible.

88
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: It's nice because it seems like in every facet of

89
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: the game, we are just better than the Phillies.

90
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: Which overall makes us a better team.

91
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: It feels like every game they have some problem with

92
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: their bullpen, their defense, makes a blunder, makes an error,

93
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: makes a bad play, something stupid that costs them runs.

94
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Like you feel for guys like Zack Wheeler, a former Met,

95
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: because he pitched really really well yesterday and even after

96
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: the first sitting, like he kind of was able to

97
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: clean it up. But it's just really really hard to

98
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: win when they don't make almost any plays behind you.

99
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Johann Camargo, I think is the only guy

100
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: whoever makes play because he owns the Mets for some reason.

101
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: But everyone else Schwarberg, Castianos and no double Horrare in

102
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: the outfield is a mess.

103
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: No, it was a disaster. We should just start with

104
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: that game, because your card does to go over Zach

105
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: Wheeler because he's such a good pitcher. And even in

106
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: that first inning where the Mets jumped down the Phillies

107
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: again as they seemingly have done almost every time they've

108
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: played them this year, like there wasn't really any reason

109
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: why a rally should have occurred in that first inning,

110
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: Like he started with a fly ball to left field

111
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: that an average leftfielder would have caught against Lusky or mate.

112
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: But kosh Warburg has turned around, can't make a play,

113
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: winds up being a double. Phillies defense just pours it on.

114
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: After that, there was a ground ball the Francisco Indoor

115
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: hit to Reee Hoskins with first and third nobody out,

116
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: and you could see in real time his brain just

117
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: completely decomposing inside of his head and dripping out of

118
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: his left ear. I love, I love seeing Reece Hoskins.

119
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: That stuff.

120
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: I tued out immediately.

121
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Sick play re sick play like it was such a

122
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: tailor made double play that would have been so huge

123
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: in that inning for the Phillies, could change the whole

124
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: outlook of this game.

125
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: And he just he just fucked it up. He's a

126
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: bad first baseman.

127
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: He also, I mean, you shout that, Johan Kamargo, you

128
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: Unkomargo also should have just realized what was going on,

129
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: just gotten the out sitting there. It looked like you

130
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: probably could have had the abbe either. It seems like

131
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: that call was not what I would have made, being

132
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 3: as the neighborhood play where that was the Chase Utley rule,

133
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: which we also passed the anniversary of the s and

134
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: the jackpot this weekend. I guess we'll talk about that

135
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: when that comes up. But usually now, if you're just

136
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: kind of around the base and you kind of just

137
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: drag your for the round, it within reason of you

138
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: having the ball, you should get the out at the stalk.

139
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: They should have been out second base and John Kamargo

140
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: for some reason through your home I don't know. It

141
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: was weird play, just this whole team just dragged each

142
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: other down.

143
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean, part of that, too, I think has to

144
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: be that Johann Camargo is not really a shortstop either.

145
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: He's playing shortstop.

146
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Because that team has not figured out that's one of

147
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 1: the most important positions on the field.

148
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: It seems like they've they've.

149
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Understood catchers important, but shortstop they don't care. Center field

150
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: they don't care. And it's like, maybe this is why

151
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: you guys don't play good baseball, because you just don't

152
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: seem to really understand what it takes to build a

153
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: good team.

154
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: Once this rally was over, the mess are winning through

155
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 3: nothing in the first inning, and if it does feel

156
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: like the Mets are scoring and almost every single first

157
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 3: inning is kind of because it's been true for the

158
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 3: last few weeks. Sunday night was the nineteen time the

159
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: Mets score the run the first inning this year, which

160
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: is a ridiculously high number. And with that, it was

161
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: a fourteen time they did so in May. That's an

162
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: insanely high number. It's like almost half of the games.

163
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: It was only May twenty ninth.

164
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they came out swinging hot. Marte smoked the

165
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: ball to in that first inning. He hit the hardest

166
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: ball of the season, and it was like, you should

167
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: have hit it softer, because we couldn't send your mail

168
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: on that. All the other plays happened. But yeah, I mean,

169
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: the Mets, I don't know what it is. I don't

170
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: know if it's game plan. I don't know if it's

171
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: just they're they're feeling the crowd, they're excited, they're ready

172
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: to go. But the Mets come out swing in the

173
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: first inning and then then they like to do that

174
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: thing where they disappear for about six innings.

175
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also that's just because j Zacq Wheeler is

176
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: incredibly good and we knew this was going to happen.

177
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: That first inning. Getting through runs against him was a

178
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: was a legitimate miracle, and you knew, like from that

179
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 3: moment like there was. He was not gonna let anything

180
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: else happen. There was that little rally. I believe it

181
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: was the third inning where La Door was up in

182
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: the man on third and just went out. He struck

183
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: out against Zack Wheeler. This was just because it was

184
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: Zach Wheeler. Shit like that happens. The Phillies also got

185
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: to run back in the third, but that threw the

186
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: one score held for a very very long time in

187
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: this game.

188
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Chris Bassett again just doing the Chris Bassett thing, being

189
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: a really solid pitcher. I saw a great gift by

190
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: pitching Ninja on Twitter, where it's like I wish that

191
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: I could think about pitches as much as Chris Bassett does.

192
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: On the mound, He's like, shook off Mezika, no, No,

193
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: like six times.

194
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: It's like what pitch? Wait, what pitch are you looking for?

195
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: And then they eventually switched to PitchCom which I don't

196
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: know if you caught that, But him and Mesica they

197
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: always seem to never be on the same page. But

198
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter because Bassett, again, while he maybe

199
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: wasn't as sharp as he has always been, still really

200
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: good dude.

201
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: I think again, it's just because he has six pitches

202
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: and he threw all six of them. Again, and he

203
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: threw five of them, all his pitches besides the change

204
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: up at least eleven times. Wow, So he threw five.

205
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: He threw one hundred pitches total in this game. He

206
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: threw five of them over ten percent of the time.

207
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: So that's again how you get into all these shakeofs here.

208
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: But by the end of the start, Baskett went six

209
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: innings and seven strikeouts, gave up two hits, one and run,

210
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: just one walk, and only three hard hit balls to

211
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: this prolific Phillies offense.

212
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: And what two of them had to have been those

213
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: like hard lineouts at Bryce had that just got.

214
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Caught because City Field plays so big.

215
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: I would think one was the very long flyout that

216
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: looked like it was it was Gonzo, but yeah, yeah,

217
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: froze in my seat. Yeah, I think that was over there.

218
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: And then David Cohne. I love listening to David Cone

219
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: call Mets game. Sometimes I want David Cone to call

220
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: more than one game a month. And overall, I don't

221
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: think the ESPN crew does as well as no, we're

222
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: close to as well as anything that Mets could put

223
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: out there. Even with the Mets B team goes even

224
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: when you're dazzle, goes into TV. But still it's still

225
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: miles ahead of ESPN. But like he he sad knowledge

226
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: about pitching. It's fun to listen to talk about it.

227
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: And he was going crazy over Chris bassist sinker, saying,

228
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: how that's the bread and belly, that's the pitch he's

229
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: always looking for. They had Pete miked up for a

230
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: few winning and he kept talking about the basket sinker,

231
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: the beast sinker, the basket sinker. He got four whistle

232
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: with it, four called strikes, didn't allow ballo and play

233
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 3: over one hundred miles an hour. A great pitch was

234
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: great pitch. He was pulling all over the zone all night,

235
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: inside and outside, righty's and lefties. His color looked great too,

236
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: which he had every single thing working in a way

237
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: that just was able made him able to compete against

238
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: Zach Whieler where.

239
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: The basket hounds at the baskett Hounds. I mean he

240
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: just comes out every five days and was exactly what

241
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: we need. And then that linked into Drew Chains who

242
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: oh man, Drew Drew Smith. He was looking good again,

243
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: looked like he was you know, kind of clicking again

244
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: and ground ball up the middle sticks that bare hand

245
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: out and it looks like he fucked up his pinky.

246
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: Dude, And you were at the game, but just watching

247
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: on TV, Cony was like, I think it's something wrong

248
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: with pinky. And they showed Drew Smith's pinky just hanging

249
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: off his finger, just like pending the other way. It

250
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: was gross, it wasn't as gross it could have been,

251
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 3: and also not as gross as other pictures because while

252
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: Joelle was warming up after because you get limited the

253
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: time to warm up. In between, they were showing the

254
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: booth with Ravi and uh David Cone and Jial Perez,

255
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: and David Cone revealed that his right pinky has been

256
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 3: deformed like his entire career because on something similar I

257
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: don't remember if it was on he said in a

258
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: comebacker and a player where he was hitting he shatoed

259
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: his pinky at one point in his career, and he

260
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: said he never he just never got it fixed, like

261
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: it just healed wrong, Like he didn't really wear his splint,

262
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: he wasn't really on top of it. And his pinky

263
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: is literally like a claw. It's like deformed and facing

264
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: the wrong way. And he talked about how once that happened,

265
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: he was like bummed about it. But then he when

266
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: he started pitching again, he realized that the pinky the

267
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: way it was clicked and made it sit off in

268
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: his hand now and all of his pitchers started moving more.

269
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: He was like, yeah, I just started I just started

270
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 3: pitching with it. And he said he compared himself to

271
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: a three finger Brown, more than Kay Brown from like

272
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: the nineteen twenties who lost a finger in a half

273
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: in a farming accident. It just gave him a wiki curveball.

274
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, as soon as that ball got hitp the middle

275
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: and I saw us put out his hand when drew No,

276
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: not the bare hand. Drew not the bare hand.

277
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: And even funnier with that, earlier in the game, there

278
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: was a dribbler behind Bassett that Kiormy was positioned well

279
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: for made a nice backhand to play over the bag,

280
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: and my Dad's like, that's a great play by Bassett,

281
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: not trying to do too much, knowing his defenders right

282
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: behind him, letting that ball get through. Also, because Bassett

283
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: just Phillies put twelve balls and played nine of them

284
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: were on the ground, so lot of balls in the

285
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: ground this game in general, but yeah, once Drew Smith

286
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: sucked it out, I was like fuck yeah.

287
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: And again, since you said, you know I was at

288
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: the game you were watching on TV. After that play,

289
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: he was walking round around the mound for like a

290
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: good minute.

291
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: Screaming, screaming.

292
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: He was screaming, and then like lind Or Giormy went

293
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: over to him, We're like, can we see your hand?

294
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: And then they saw They're like, if someone's gotta come out,

295
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: he can't pitch, Like, look at his pinky. There's no

296
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: way he was. Drew Smith was trying his hardest to

297
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: stay out there, and then Hefner came out. They looked

298
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,599
Speaker 1: and like, stop, don't be ridiculous, you're coming out of

299
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: this game. Do we get a diagnosis officially?

300
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, after the game they just said it was dislocated finger.

301
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: X rays were negative, so he is day to day.

302
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: So hopefully we'll have him back for the Dodgers next weekend.

303
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just a nice couple three days off here,

304
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: beat the Nationals a few times and have Drew Smith back. Luckily,

305
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 3: thank god they avoid major injury because that was ninety

306
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: five off the bat and it could have exploded his

307
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: pinky that hit at the wrong angle. Yeah.

308
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: No, we need Drew Smith on this team healthy, because

309
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: when he's in that bullpen, this team is better as

310
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: we do.

311
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: Yeah a lot. And Joelle did come in and looked fine.

312
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: He didn't. He wasn't like the sharpest after the updown

313
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: that ending. But Joelle is the king of coming in,

314
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: throwing one pitch and getting avid inning. People have tweeted

315
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: us too. I would love to like find a way

316
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: statistically look that up to see how many one pitch

317
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: havings I could find for Joelle this year. But he doesn't,

318
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: like more frequently than anybody I've ever noticed, like ever,

319
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: when he comes in and he's fresh, he's money. It's

320
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 3: just it's the sit and then the comeback up and

321
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: it seems like he's just never really particularly prepared for that.

322
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: And I'm not I'm not gonna blame Buck for this

323
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 3: one because obviously that was not the plan to go

324
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: to Joeli.

325
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: They thought Drew Smith was gonna be able to finish

326
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: the inning. But I mean, Joelle does what he does.

327
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: He gets the lefties out. He's gonna be a little

328
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: erratic at times, but at the end of the day,

329
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: he's still pretty good in this bullpen.

330
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: Dude, it seems like the arm slot which he throws

331
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: from makes him more susceptible to not getting calls on

332
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: certain corners of the plate, especially coming as a lefty

333
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: coming to the right side of the plate as if

334
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 3: he's facing it. He seems like he consistently missed his

335
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 3: calls on that corner on the walks he gave up

336
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 3: in the eighth inning lead off to Johann Cao Marco,

337
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 3: which you can't do. You can't walk to the leadoff

338
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: man who's also the ninth tiler ahead of the top

339
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 3: of Phillies order. Awful there, but there was a call

340
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: right on the corner there with two strikes and three

341
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: balls full count that just kind of nipped it and

342
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: looked it really looked good. It came up as ks

343
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: on ESPN didn't work, and he missed another one like

344
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 3: that to Alec Bohm to put two men on for

345
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: eventually became the uh the Nick Castiano's three run homer,

346
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: which we can talk about here for a second, But

347
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: it just seems like, I don't know, maybe his arm slot,

348
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 3: it's just umpires don't like him. Maybe it's just they

349
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: are actually balls and the k zones are screwed it up.

350
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: Every single time he tries to nip that corner, it

351
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: gets missed. Yeah, I mean, it's it's a really tough

352
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: angle too. But you would think because of the lefty

353
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: coming inside to the righty that could it would almost

354
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: fool the umpire more, that he'd be able to get

355
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: more inches. I think it's because like the balls kind

356
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: of like intercepting through the strike zone but then still

357
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: winding up in the glove a little bit outside the zone,

358
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: like you know what I mean. Like if he's coming

359
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: from the lefty to go inside to a righty, it's

360
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: like shooting across the plate goes like yeah, it's like

361
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 3: like think about the box right now, but like three

362
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 3: dimensional and you're going through the corner of it, but

363
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: you're still winding up in the outside of it once

364
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: you're already behind it. Yeah. Yeah.

365
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: So like essentially where it's being caught is not where

366
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: it crosses the plate, but because the umpires are stupid

367
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: and it's it is moving ninety miles.

368
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: No, yeah, it's not an easy call. Yeah, it's not easy.

369
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: But you see it caught outside of the zones, You're like, oh,

370
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: that's a ball, Like it's not a strike.

371
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm sitting in my childhood Benajer right now. I just

372
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: saw David Cone signball. I forgot I had. That's on

373
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: my desk. There you go. Yeah, mem I thinking like

374
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: a sports authority or something, or like Da Cone is

375
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 3: a sports authority, either David Khone or Al Lighter. I

376
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: have the outlier one right here too, met El. Either

377
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 3: it's sports starty.

378
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: Good pictures, good pictures local guys of course. But anyway,

379
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: back to the game. We talked about Joe.

380
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: Ellie, we got to talk about Autavino. Though.

381
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: This is a situation that I felt okay with. Ottavito's

382
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: been good at times. He does the atom a Ountavino thing.

383
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: He either is untouchable or he can't find the strike

384
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: zone sometimes like it just happens.

385
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: But you being those two guys that we think he is,

386
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: Like throwing that first frisbee slide there's Nick Castianos that

387
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: he missed by four feet. I was like, oh, we

388
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: have good out of you tonight.

389
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: This should be okay, Yeah, I thought I when I

390
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: saw that swing, I said, throw it again. And then

391
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: he threw the fastball and went by and I said,

392
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: throw the slider again, and then threw that fastball up

393
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: and into a guy who's dead red, who crushes crushes

394
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: up and in fastballs. That's like one of the hottest

395
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: zones for him when you look at like ops Per,

396
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, section of the strike zone, and.

397
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: He just crushes fastballs. In general, the casts always been

398
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: a dead red.

399
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: Heather absolutely smoked it. I frozen my seat. I did

400
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: not get up to even see because I said, that's gone.

401
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: That was hit way too hard. The most annoying part

402
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: about this, besides that, you know, the mess blew the lead,

403
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: was that we had these two idiot Met fans. And

404
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't like saying this because I love all the

405
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: Mets fans, but don't be these Mets fans. We said,

406
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: don't be chancing overrated this weekend at Bryce Harper. Luckily

407
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that at the game. I heard no

408
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: overrated chance.

409
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: I heard a few one Friday, especially as the game

410
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: got later, just a few not early later.

411
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't hear overrated.

412
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: But we had two idiots sitting down the line who

413
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: might have been maybe twenty years old, who were probably

414
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: having some of their first alcoholic beverages because they were

415
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: blasted in the first sitting. Every pitch that Harper and

416
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: Castianos were up. You guys are frauds. You're frauds.

417
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: Harper, you don't got a good eye. Castianos, you can't hit,

418
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: You hit for no power.

419
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, I was shut up.

420
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: Shut up.

421
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: And then they were screaming that, and then the ball

422
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: leaves and we had Philly fans around us and immediately

423
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: started giving them shit, which that's completely fair. I was

424
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: cool with that because I didn't like these guys, but

425
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: I hate I hate that so much.

426
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: Talk shit to Odubal Herrera. Don't talk shit to Nick Castianos,

427
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: who's a.

428
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: Prolific hitter, Stot Camargo. Yeah, even real music right now,

429
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: talk shit to all these guys, but I don't. And

430
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: you just kind of leave wondering, like why why that

431
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: pitch was a fastball? Like whose idea was it? Throw

432
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: a fastball there? And I don't know. I don't know

433
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: if it was Mosica, I don't know if it was

434
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: out of Veno, I don't know if it was a dugout.

435
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: I have no idea who called that pitch, but it

436
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: was incredibly incorrect. It wasn't even again in a bad

437
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: spot like it was an up and in fastball that

438
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: was like kind of like blackish cornerish. It's just he

439
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: seemed to be completely prepared for the fastball and complete reserved.

440
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: The fact that Adam Adam even threw him a slider

441
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: he would have struck out. It was just you're bailing

442
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: him out in this situation.

443
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: And that was deflating.

444
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: But I will say again, I was sitting next to

445
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: a Philly fan that I was at the game with

446
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: a shout out to Shelfy. If you guys know him

447
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: on YouTube, it will be the show guy. He was like,

448
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: six outs, this game's far from over. He's like, I've

449
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: seen this way too many times.

450
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: It goes.

451
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: We still have to get six outs.

452
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: And granted they got three really easy ones in the

453
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: year Sir Anthony went. When Sir Anthony's on, he's one

454
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: of the nastiest relievers in baseball.

455
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: I'm willing to say that true. And even before that,

456
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: the Mets couldn't score against brad Foot for the second

457
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: time the series, which was ridiculous because Bradfoot, Yeah, Bradfoot, Okay.

458
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't make sure that I was a conscious choice.

459
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: No, it was intentional. I was yelling that at him.

460
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: I was down low on Friday night at the game,

461
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: and I kept yelling brad Foot and people around me

462
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: were loving it. They were laughing. So I'm just gonna

463
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: stick with it for a while.

464
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a funny one. Brad Foot's good, bra.

465
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 3: And Sam with Jerry's familiar like, we couldn't touch him.

466
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: Familia hasn't get up a run against the Mets this year,

467
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: because this.

468
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: Is me and you were always fighting for Familia. We're like,

469
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: we get it. Like he does do this shit every

470
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: once in a while, where like he can't find the

471
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: strike zone, but his stuff is so filthy. There's just

472
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: no one who throws a ninety nine mile an hour

473
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: sinker like he does in baseball.

474
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 3: No, And at this point, the Mets had gone eight

475
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: seven straight inning because out even scoring a run and

476
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 3: only getting close to tim er two. So I was like,

477
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: I fuck, this is it. I mean, we don't sweep teams.

478
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: This is okay. It's Sunday night. We won the first two.

479
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 3: Tomorrow's Memorial Day, Like, take another series win. We can

480
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: go to the bank with this one. Really can't be

481
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: upset about this. I we'll have loved to step on

482
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: the throat. That's fine that we didn't. And then at

483
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: the clear blue sky after you texted me, why is

484
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: Nick Plumber coming up right now? The first pitch that

485
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: he saw against Corey caniebel right in half. He just

486
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: spun on it and sent it into the Coca Cola corner.

487
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: I have some gift where when I when I slander

488
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: whoever is hitting at the bottom of the order of

489
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: the Mets. I did it with Giorme back in twenty nineteen.

490
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: I did with Mazeka this year. And literally as soon

491
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: as I hit why is he hitting? And sent it

492
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: to you and my dad, I doubled down. I sent

493
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: it to two people. Boom cracked the bat again. I'm like, ah,

494
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Nick Plumber, I almost put out a tweet. I'll changed

495
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: my last name to Plumber. Like I thought about it.

496
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: I was like, it's another perfect time to maybe get

497
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: another viral tweet. He just he was so ready for

498
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: that fastball on Corey cadeb to put in a beautiful

499
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: spot for him to hit, and he put in the

500
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: upper deck too.

501
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: Coca Cola corner crushed and.

502
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: Think too had a great great, great tweet after that

503
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: home run. Crazy stat about Plumber in the Mets in general.

504
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: Oh I know it, but say it.

505
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: Nick Plumber is the fourteenth Met in history to have

506
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: his first career hit via home run, the last Mets

507
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 3: pitching coach Jeremy Heffner ten years ago to.

508
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: The day to the day to the day.

509
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: That's I mean, I was that was awesome from Nick Plumber.

510
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: They're also been playing the Super Mario Bros. Or Super

511
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: Mario theme song when he comes up to the plate,

512
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: and when he was running around the bases, they played

513
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: the theme song when you hit the flagpole in Mario

514
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: and they're like.

515
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: I'm such an idiot that I always thought that Nick

516
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: Plumber had the Mario theme song just because he liked

517
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: video games, not even realizing that his name is Plumber. Yeah,

518
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: Plumber and Mario was a Plumber.

519
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

520
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: No, it was great.

521
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: It was great. That was like whoa.

522
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: And then McNeil comes up and I'm like, hey, maybe

523
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: a little back to back when Neil swung the bat

524
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: well on Saturday night, we didn't. We went down quietly

525
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the inning. But this this is where

526
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: it gets really exciting. Edwin Diaz comes in for the

527
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: tenth the Trumpets after a home run, first home run

528
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: of his career, first hit, the stadium was jumping.

529
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: It was electric. It was one of the most electric

530
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: entrances I've seen of Diaz.

531
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 3: And the stadium was completely dead before that Plumber swing.

532
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: Oh it was Oh, it was dead, absolutely no life whatsoever.

533
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: Like four hours into a game that's hadn't scored in

534
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: like almost three full hours, and it was just there

535
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 3: was no juice at all. Like even on the broadcast

536
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 3: they're talking about like, Wow, this place was really loud

537
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: a few minutes ago, and now we haven't heard anything. Yeah, no,

538
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: it can't really really quiet. I think Ravish said there's

539
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 3: a lot of people here for it to be this quiet, and.

540
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: You know what, he wasn't wrong, and I can't blame

541
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: it was a really I'm gonna be annoying here. It

542
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: was a really boring game after the first sitting until

543
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: the eighth inning, Like it's just kind of how it was.

544
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, pick it up. In the tenth, Edwin Diaz had

545
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 3: a shutdown inning with the ghost runner on second base

546
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 3: to keep the game tied. And when the game stays tied,

547
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: nextra innings like that you put the home team in

548
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 3: just the capert seat. It takes a lot for need

549
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: a team to score an extra inning, and Edwin Diaz

550
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: puts in just for the win. Pantisca Indor. I was

551
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: bitching a moan and he struck out to lead that

552
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 3: inning off with the man on second. I was really pissed.

553
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: I was the second time he had a man score

554
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 3: position lessan too has in this game, and I was

555
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 3: very upset. But it's why the West Cobar Edward away.

556
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: Yep, we were talking about why is he hitting fifth?

557
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 3: Because I was talking so much of the game. Plano

558
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: intentionally walked twice in this game.

559
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's already.

560
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: Been intentionally walked five times this year, his previous career

561
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: high six.

562
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's he can't hit it ward of westbar fifth,

563
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: But in this game it ended up working out in

564
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: the end. Do I think that's the decision we should

565
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: continue to make going forward. No, I don't think Escobar

566
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: should be hitting fifth. I don't think he would be

567
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: with Nimo and McNeil in the lineup when those guys

568
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: are back and ready to go.

569
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: But in this scenario it worked.

570
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: He also came off of making that nice play reaching

571
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: over the guardrail on the third baseline in the inning before.

572
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 1: So it was nice and it felt like he needed that.

573
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: It felt like he was he got to hit and

574
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: almost like a weight was lifting on his shoulder, like

575
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: I know I've been playing like shit, but I got

576
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: the hit when we needed it.

577
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: Ah, Like, thank god, that's he was pressing. He was pressing.

578
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: His bat looks slow.

579
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: He did not look good. But he got around on

580
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 3: that one.

581
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: And also, wait, we have to talk about the big

582
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: thing too, that we were able to intentionally walk Bryce

583
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: Harper in the tenth with Diaz on the mound because

584
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: they put in Roman Quinn for defense for Nick Castianos.

585
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: So Roman Quinn had first and second with two outs

586
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: in the tenth inning, and I mean he stinks, so

587
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: he was out, he had nothing. But I was like, oh,

588
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: Joe Girardi once again, thank you, Like Joe Giardi has

589
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: to if you're gonna commit to defense, commit to it.

590
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: Don't just do it.

591
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: In the ninth inning of the game, a one run

592
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: game of Corey Getable on the mound, there's a good

593
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: chance Nick Castillo's hits.

594
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 3: You might as well just start Roman Quinn over bo

595
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: Horrera if you really care about that much, and then

596
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: bring a Dublin to hit fourth, because at least he's

597
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: not disastered to play like Romanquinn. No, not disaster, Romaquin

598
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 3: just not a hitter. He's not on this team to

599
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: hit or Duba Herez not this team seemingly to do anything.

600
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: But he at least can hit better than Roman Quinn. Yeah,

601
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: it's just this. This Phillies roster is a complete mess.

602
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know what they do if the

603
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: hot streak doesn't come for the Phillies in the summer.

604
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 3: I don't even think Joe Girardi makes it. Through's be great,

605
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: that'd be great. I don't think it'd be great. I

606
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: love playing at Joe Girardi. He is probably the worst

607
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 3: manager in baseball.

608
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll probably bring back like Charlie Manuel. I bet

609
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: you were.

610
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: They'll get like Larry Bowa back because that just that

611
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: feels like a Philly thing. There again, doesn't seem like

612
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: they're very forward thinking on the offensive or defensive side

613
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: of the baseball.

614
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: So she's like, all, we need.

615
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Another old school guy in here that can really get

616
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: it back into shape.

617
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: I met Charlie Manuel at the at the home run

618
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 3: derby in twenty nineteen when it was in Cleveland. Drove

619
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 3: up there one of my buddies and we were just

620
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: we got there early and we just like got gatheray bottles,

621
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: strank at the Gaitheraide filled the other half of vodka,

622
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: and we literally planted ourselves in the hotel right next

623
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: to the Progressive Field. We just walked around trying to

624
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: meet as many people as possible. We met Charlie Manuel,

625
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 3: We met Rob Manfred, We met Nick Wright, the asshole

626
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: from Fox Sports. But yeah, Charlie. Charlie's great guy. I

627
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: probably like a fifteen minute conversation with Charlie and he

628
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 3: had that like southern long Yeah, he's like that nice

629
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: Southern droll like. He was really nice. He wanted to

630
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: talk about baseball. He was cool. But he's another guy

631
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: I'd love to see manage my least favorite team in baseball.

632
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's great. That was a great way to

633
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: cap off the series. We got the sweep, feeling good.

634
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the other games though, because obviously we're

635
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: not just gonna talk about one game in this episode.

636
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: We still have two more to go over, because there

637
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: was some stuff to talk about. And start off with

638
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: Game one now where they pushed back Zach Efflin for

639
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: Bailey Falter to make the start and Boyle Boy was

640
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: out a mistake for.

641
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: No reason whatsoever. There's a great clip on Twitter so

642
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 3: about the Phillies post game guys just freaking the fuck

643
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 3: out that Zach Efflin was push backstart this game, talk

644
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: how much money he makes, basically how this generation is soft.

645
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: You gotta try and put that in here when you

646
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: ad it, because it's like thirty seconds of these guys

647
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: losing their minds about Bailey Falter being in instead of

648
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: Zach Effler.

649
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 4: To push Zach f Flynn's start until tomorrow. Whoever made

650
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 4: that decision, whether it was John Middleton, whether it was

651
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 4: Dave Dombrowski, whether it was as was suggested in the

652
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: pregame program, the performance people, or whether it was Zach

653
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 4: Efflin himself and said, you know what I need another day,

654
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 4: Please stand up and be counted. Please have the guts

655
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 4: to let us know. We the fans of this team

656
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: who want to know that why Zach Efflin couldn't pitch

657
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 4: today and why was pushed back. There's probably a reason

658
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 4: for it, but I'll tell you what if it was

659
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: Joe Girardi's decision, because you know what, I just don't

660
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 4: play my players like that. I want to make sure

661
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 4: that they're as healthy as can be. They just make

662
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 4: you know, they don't make enough money for me to

663
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 4: expect them to go out on regular rest. Then take

664
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 4: a hike, Joe, take a bleeping hike, because we're.

665
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: Sick of it.

666
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 4: You know, we're sick of it. I want to know

667
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 4: whose decision it was to push back Zach Efflin start,

668
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 4: it's absolutely again, if he's injured, then by all means

669
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 4: you got to do it. But this old kind of

670
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 4: amorphist we don't know why he was pushed back. He

671
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: was asked about Joe Girardi asked about Bailey Falter three

672
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 4: days ago and he just kind of well, it's not

673
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 4: I have nothing to do with it. Who did have

674
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: something to do with it?

675
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they told Girardi to take a hike.

676
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: That if it's if you decided to push back Zach Efflin,

677
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: you need to take a hike, And it's like, okay,

678
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: hold on, it's Zach Eflin. Also, I think this was

679
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: more of a pushback for Wheeler than I think it

680
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: was for Efflin.

681
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: Probably probably need an extra day, But also I don't know,

682
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: maybe you still could have done Efflin Walter Wheeler just

683
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: to start trying to start the series off, not with

684
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: Bailey Falter, because the mess just got all over him immediately.

685
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: And again it wasn't really as much of a fault

686
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 3: to himself as I think people may have to believe.

687
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: Like Bailey Falter, I don't really think pitch poorly at

688
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: the start. The game got away from him. Of course

689
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: they Philly probably shouldn't left him as long as they did.

690
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: But first play the game was a very casual ground

691
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: ball the shortstop and Bryson Stotch just threw it into

692
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 3: the first row.

693
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: You didn't get to listen to Uncle Cracker before the

694
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 2: game when he came.

695
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 3: To the play. Yeah, why the ball drifted away?

696
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: Oh nice, good one, And I see what you did there.

697
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: And after that the single for Thiss Golen Door had

698
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: a walk, and then we had back to back sackflies

699
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 3: that were two hundred and thirty feet away from home

700
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: play the newd Alarm Costianos, and neither play was even competitive.

701
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: He has one of the worst arms I've ever seen

702
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: of an outfielder. It's it's like it's it's that of

703
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: a child.

704
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 3: It's almost shocking that he came up as a third baseman,

705
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 3: Like why was he ever trying to make that throw? Either?

706
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: How how was he not a first baseman? And maybe

707
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: because Migough Cabrera was already there in Detroit when he

708
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 3: had come up, and they knew he couldn't play there.

709
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: I get, yeah, maybe, I don't know.

710
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: It's just it's shocking to me that he hasn't found

711
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: his way to play first base becausistly. I know they

712
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: also have ree Hoskins, but it's not like Greeze Hoskins

713
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: really playing particularly well this year either.

714
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, Breeze Hoskins still is I mean he's not.

715
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: He's heading better of late kind of ish. But also

716
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: Nimo and Marte both coming around to score and those

717
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: sack flies. Those guys are both very fast runners. That's

718
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 3: not a joke, but it's just it was like almost

719
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: bullying when when we hit the second fly balls and

720
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: the costianos in that inning and he like took this

721
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 3: massive crow hop and he's like man and rolled into

722
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 3: the catcher. They said one was like rolled in, one

723
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 3: sailed to the right. It was ridiculous.

724
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm confident we could throw the ball as far as him,

725
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: probably almost as far as him would probably similar with

726
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: the crow hop.

727
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: Yes, too close. It's just like a competent right fielder

728
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: out there, or even just like the great right fielder.

729
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 3: They have Bryce Harper, who is suffering with the parcel

730
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: tore in UCL. If he's out there, the Mets don't

731
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: even score any runs.

732
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: Yeah you can't.

733
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: You can't run on Harper. They're no shot. There was

734
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: even a moment where like these balls were like pops

735
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: up in the air and I saw him getting back.

736
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: It was like, hool shit, they're gonna do it like

737
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: first inning, only one out, still the middle of your oiler,

738
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 3: Like maybe you hold the guy away for the next one,

739
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 3: but it's still that's still Glen Cherlock at their base.

740
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: Don't know what's going on with Joe kra And I

741
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: think you're bloke Dick Scott. Joe Friday was definitely Glen Chaerlock. Okay,

742
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 3: Joey core was back for Game three, so okay, well

743
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: there you go. So but Glenchaarlock, channel's in your Joey

744
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 3: Cora and you put his foot in the gas and

745
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: the Mets got three runs out of in the first inning,

746
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 3: also after a nice Markanna clutch two at Riyby single

747
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: Marky Cheerios. The man loves singles.

748
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: I think he might be allergic to extra base hits.

749
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: Singles are his game, and that's fine because he's Marky Cheerios.

750
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: After this, though, Pete hit a big, big, big two

751
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 3: run home run, still off of Bailey Faltered the third,

752
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: and then Pete and Lindor had back to back RBI hits,

753
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 3: and suddenly it was seven nothing in the fourth. We

754
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: had already chased Bailey Falter, We'd already gotten to Nick Nelson.

755
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 3: This is the recipe for beating the Phillies on their

756
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 3: bad days, Nick Nelson. I love facing Nick Nelson.

757
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've seen him so much.

758
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 1: And I was at my cousin's engagement party, so, you know,

759
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: checking score some TVs here and there, keeping a close eye.

760
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: Saw the seven nothing, went oh, all right, we're good.

761
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: We can we can kind of relax. And then when

762
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: we were getting ready to leave the engagement party, go,

763
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: oh my.

764
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: God, what just happened? What's going on here?

765
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 3: We'll pull back to the kimono. I was, you know,

766
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 3: seven to nothing game. I was sitting there. My dad

767
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: met me there sweet the car. So when it was

768
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 3: gonna be able to get back to Brooklyn pretty quickly,

769
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: I was texting our buddy Drew. I was like, what

770
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: are you doing tonight? He's like, Kep going to the

771
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: Commedy Cellar at eleven. I was like, Oh, the Mets

772
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: Wedning seven. Nothing, I think I can make that. The

773
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: second I said that, the philly started the rally and

774
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: he saw TJ. Miller do a live set there like

775
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: he did like twenty certain mints of improv, and they

776
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: saw Bobo then Kirk in the crowd. What Yeah, all

777
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: the Commedy cell on a Friday night in the city.

778
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: That's a great night, right, great night. And I was

779
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: gonna join them there. But the Phillies just had this stupid,

780
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: freaking annoying rally with two Winfield hits, a ball through

781
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: the shift, Carrasco dove trying to make a diving play

782
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: off the mound. He ended up jamming his thumb, threw

783
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: a ball for no reason. Also afterwards two and then

784
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: after that he was kind of like you saw him

785
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: look a little uncomfortable, but didn't look like it was

786
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: enough to send the trainers out and then you saw

787
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: him not really finish his pitches. They didn't look at sharp.

788
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: He stuck around, He let more guys come on base,

789
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: a couple of runs came in, and then Jason Shreeve,

790
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 3: who has not been very good for the last few weeks. No,

791
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 3: he came in to face left handed catcher Garrett Stubbs,

792
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: which Joe Girardi must have been taking his middening nap

793
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: because for some reason, Joe J. T Romuta remained on

794
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 3: the bench on an off day against a left handed

795
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: relief pitcher. But a fucking course, on a one to

796
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: two pitch, Garrett Stubbs just sent one into the fucking

797
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: right field seats. I was so mad. This game was

798
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 3: seven six and there was a Phillies fan in my

799
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: section who was getting shit talk to hell. The whole

800
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: game really like one of those classic like really large

801
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: dudes with like a beard that's like it kind of

802
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 3: it's exact same from like right as his eye to

803
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: like basically where his shirt is. It's just like a

804
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: bunch of hair and he had an eagle sweatshirt. It

805
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 3: was like exactly what you yeah, and the second is happened,

806
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: he just stood up. He just clapped. He looked at

807
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 3: every single Mets fan in their eyes and section and clap.

808
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: Deserved it. That was a respectful way to do it.

809
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: That was not very Philly like I'll say.

810
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: That, no, but you mean his son was there. Son

811
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: was probably ten years old, Max, So that was very reserved.

812
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 3: Yet only only like the level B curse words. Okay,

813
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: shit ass yeah, crap, crap, Well, crap's a good one.

814
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: Crap's a classic, Crap's a great one. But this ending

815
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: kind of screwed up. What was another like really really

816
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: good star for Carrasco and all the people who just

817
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: checked out the box score, he'd be like, oh, the

818
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: Phillies got to Carrasco. But realistically the five and two

819
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: thirds five earned seven streakouts. What was going on beforehand

820
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: was incredible. He was cruising solemnly through the first, second, third, fourth,

821
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: and fifth innings like he looked like in complete control.

822
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 3: He was going to go to another one was eight

823
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: inning outings when he just like cruised with the Mets

824
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: with a big lead. It was great. He was heavy

825
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 3: with the fastball in the change up again. He only

826
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 3: threw ten slides, but they got two whiffs. Looked decent.

827
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: His fastball got up to ninety six miles an hour.

828
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: Like that box score didn't tell the whole story. He

829
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: was in complete and other control for this entire game

830
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: until just a couple in field singles and then eventually

831
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: chasing shreeveyetting up through run home run.

832
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's annoying because I mean, I don't

833
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: think Carasco has like haters necessarily by any means, no,

834
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: but it's just more so annoying, like you said, because

835
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: we've been banging the drum that Carasco has been really

836
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: really solid, and like we knew that it wasn't going

837
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: to stick forever. But this makes it feel like it's

838
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: not happening, or it's happening sooner than later, you know,

839
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: because like the e RA and all those numbers get

840
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: inflated because of like just unlucky.

841
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just I even just wrote this note because

842
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: I listened to a fancy baseball podcast Saturday morning, like

843
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: recap stuff and talking about how Carasco was like had

844
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: a rough start, he struggled. I was like this, and again,

845
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: if you're doing large baseball shows like that, no one's

846
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: watching every game. That's impossible you look at the box score,

847
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: you make an assessment. I'm sure I have misspoken things

848
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: on the First Pitch podcast before not watching games and

849
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: being this guy the good started, this guy the bad one.

850
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: Really it was not true, but Crasco looked great. Crasco

851
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: went five very clean innings and it was literally two

852
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: winfield singles, a squeaker through the hole, he jammed his thumb,

853
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: and then two of his five earned runs were when

854
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: he wasn't on the mound. Like. He looked very good

855
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: and very comfortable with him least for the near future.

856
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely, I feel great about Carrasco. But luckily

857
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: for us, the Mets score quickly right after that. A

858
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: little bit of insurance answered back.

859
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: Great sign after giving up those six runs to get

860
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: right back out to the next inning and get a

861
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: run home. Thomas new had leadoff walk, which as the

862
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: Phillies bullpen to give Thomas Need a lead off walk

863
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 3: after just six runs on the board. What a fucking

864
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: gift that way.

865
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: That's that's like one of those things where you're Joe

866
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: Girardi and you just like you bang your head into

867
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: the wall.

868
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: You're like, what the fuck do I have to do

869
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 3: to get this team to win. It's like that moment

870
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: from the office when Angela is dating Dwight and she's

871
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: like singing a stupid song or doing something ridiculous, and

872
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 3: it just pans over to Dwight sitting in his chair

873
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: and he's looking at the ceiling. He's like, every single

874
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: things crumbling around you. Why in the world did you

875
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: just walk tomasni though we got that run in the

876
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: Phillies made a dice in the eighth also with Joelle

877
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: another dumb shy you control little things happening, but Seth

878
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: Lugo came in, got out of it nice out and

879
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: Edmund dsay of the game trumpets were sounding. Made a

880
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 3: game that was very easy, got very difficult, wound up

881
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 3: being a pretty stressless end.

882
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: Did you see Diaz's first pitch in warm ups when

883
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: he came out in the ninth, No, sailed it right,

884
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean like straight into the netting behind home plate,

885
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: like almost like directly to where someone's face would be

886
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: in the first row.

887
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: Wasn't even close. And I saw that on Twitter.

888
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, but afterwards he was nasty, but they're like,

889
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: you see that as your first pitcher, go huh.

890
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 3: I'm happy I missed that because there were two fans

891
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 3: in my section, one directly in front of me and

892
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 3: run directly behind me, and they were both had present

893
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: mostly bad thing to say about Diaz, and I wasn't

894
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: gonna argue. I was at all beverages. I was calming

895
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: them down. I was like, hey, hey, hey, we'll know

896
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 3: from the first pitch. We know from the first pitch,

897
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: and he broke off an incredible slide at the first

898
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: pitch of the geting. They're both like, are you gay?

899
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: You got it? You got it? We're good, We're good. Now.

900
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: This one guy's girlfriend behind me. I hope he's listening

901
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: to this. Lord knows if he is his girlfriend. For

902
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: the last four innings of this game was complaining about

903
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 3: not being at DJ's down the shore, and I was hysteric.

904
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 3: I just couldn't stop laughing. Like I kept like laughing

905
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: to myself personally that she was like, we could be

906
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: at DJ's right now. Instead were watching the fucking Mets.

907
00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: Oh man.

908
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine someone I'd rather less be than DJ's

909
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend.

910
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: Gross. Nevertheless, very good game from the Mets here jumped

911
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: out early ended up doing just enough to win.

912
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: And got this series going on the right foot, yep,

913
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: and let us feeling good into game two. Like you said,

914
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: the anniversary of the famous asses in the Jackpot Game,

915
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: which is just an all time classic, no cinderguard thrown

916
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: behind out getting tossed for not hitting him, and Terry

917
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: Collins and Tom Hallian just going at it, which is

918
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: still one of the best baseball manager clips ever. Managers

919
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: and umpires should be umped up or should be miked

920
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: up at all times, because that was gold.

921
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 3: Did you actually see the hot mic from an ump

922
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 3: this weekend? I think it was the Yankee game. I

923
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 3: think it was actually the Rangers in the A's game

924
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 3: where a call got reviewed and they sent it to

925
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: New York and Chris Woodward was chirping at the umpire

926
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: and he said, hey, once it goes to New York,

927
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: it's their fucking call. Like, stop argument with me. It

928
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 3: wasn't me thet the umpires. I'm sure you use consistently

929
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: colorful language and that makes sense. But I have a

930
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 3: funny story about that asking the Jackpot game from my

931
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: days in college. I hope my friend Ryan's listening to this.

932
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 3: I know he listens to some times, not all of them.

933
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: But we had just a crazy, a crazy crazy evening

934
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 3: around to asking a jackpot game. We were going over

935
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: my friend Austin's house had a new boyfriend at the

936
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: time that we met a few times. We were like, Okay, sure,

937
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 3: we're going over a pregame, We're going to a concert

938
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 3: and a party together that night. This should be a

939
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: fun evening and whores there, and this the first time

940
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 3: we've ever actually got to know him. And this dude

941
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 3: from like the second we walked in and we were like,

942
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 3: this is a fucking crazy person. I am, I'm terrified

943
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: right now. He was telling these stories about how he

944
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: used to perform these incredible robberies from things on campus.

945
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 3: He had like these fucking like you know how in

946
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: all the college, like the nice classrooms they had like

947
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: those sick apple monitors. Yeah, those like thirty inch gorgeous monitors,

948
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 3: got it right next to it.

949
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 2: I have one right next to.

950
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 3: Me, motherfucker. Like three in the house?

951
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 2: Three was he need three?

952
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 3: Four? We were just like and he was like talking

953
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: about weird things. We're like, this is fucking weird. And

954
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 3: my bisexual friend and his boyfriend were not as into

955
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 3: baseball as Ryan and I were, knowing this was the

956
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: first time the Mets have played the Dodger since the

957
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: playoff series of last year's so like, we're gonna bring

958
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 3: a laptop, we're gonna watch this game. We're all gonna

959
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 3: have some drinks to have a good time, but we're

960
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 3: gonna watch this game. Well, we all pre game and

961
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: hang out, so sure. So this happened in the first inning.

962
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: And by the time this had happened, Austin Jorgete were

963
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: like off. They were like feuding or something. There was

964
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 3: like a fight in the other room, and we're just

965
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: sitting there like like keeping an eye in the game.

966
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 3: But I was like hearing screaming from that room, like,

967
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 3: oh my fucking god. And then this play happened and

968
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: we both get up when we start screaming, going ballistic,

969
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 3: watching Terry Collins screaming. Fe used to Chase oddly, just

970
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: going nuts. And this whole time this happened, we're just

971
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: watching this game. Now it was being pitched. I only

972
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: remember who came in, but it was it was a

973
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: dead game instantly because no cinder guard was thrown out

974
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: of the game, and we had If you look back

975
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 3: at that clip. One of the funniest things is that

976
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 3: the guys coming to talk to the umpires were Neil Walker,

977
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 3: Ty Kelly, and Eric Campbell. That's an insane grouping of

978
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 3: nuts that was in the Mets in field that reached

979
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 3: the postseason. But the game was dead immediately and Ryan

980
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 3: and I just sat there for like an hour and

981
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 3: a half while these two feut a major fight in

982
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: the other room after we learned that the boyfriend was

983
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: a psychopath. So crazy story. I'll never forget that day,

984
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: and that makes me. That always makes me look more

985
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: fondly upon the asking the jackpot day.

986
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about the actual game here, because again anniversary,

987
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: fun story, good stuff, as did the jackpop Fu fucked you,

988
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: Chase Utley No for sitting.

989
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: Room, though only time this series real shame. Also big

990
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: reason for that brand Nemo being scratched with is now

991
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: a rist issue where even if Brandimo was healthy, there's

992
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 3: always still just something he's not that's not that healthy.

993
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 2: It's just it's probably the lack of modern medicine.

994
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 3: If we have to take this, you can't stretch you risk.

995
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 3: Though they said it was on the slide from a

996
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 3: couple of days ago. Okay, stop, Actually it might have been.

997
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 3: It might have been from the slide from Friday, because

998
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: when he had that first inning slide against the first

999
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 3: Nick Castiano's ridiculously bad throw, he kind of slid awkwardly

1000
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 3: around Garrett Stubbs, and I think it looks like he

1001
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 3: could have jaander it on that. Also, we didn't even

1002
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: mention Travis Shancasko going on the I l with a

1003
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: finger issue. Was that on the diving play that looked

1004
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 3: like I caught underneath like a couple of games ago.

1005
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: God damn, that's not been playing in.

1006
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco and in the blowout that he came in

1007
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: for McNeil, who got hurt in that game.

1008
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So suddenly now it kind of tests. It's testing

1009
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: our center field depth because Kenna's been playing there in

1010
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: Steven Marte, which I found pretty interesting.

1011
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think again, I think it comes out of

1012
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: that thing Buck is like, I want a good arm

1013
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: and right field, I really do.

1014
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: He seems to not be moving off of that.

1015
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 3: We're called to. We're called Kennon did have a good

1016
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 3: series out there, but if this is long term, I

1017
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 3: would think that that would not be normal to be fair.

1018
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: He played center field in Oakland when Loreano had the suspension.

1019
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: So if you can play centerfield in Oakland well, and

1020
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: he was a plus OAA guy too in center field,

1021
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: probably can do it in city field pretty well too.

1022
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: He's just not nearly as athletic as I would say

1023
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: Brandon nemo Is, I.

1024
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 3: Guess, and you shure that outfield was starting Marte, so

1025
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: it was the same configuration. Okay, so I guess it

1026
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 3: makes sense and not also not saying that the A's

1027
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 3: are doing things perfectly right but no, yeah, yeah would be.

1028
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be copying them right now. But yeah, but how.

1029
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: About her boy?

1030
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: Because Nimo of course was not playing, we had to

1031
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: find a new leadoff hitter. And you talked about Marte

1032
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: not being in center field, he was also not the

1033
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: leadoff hitter for Game two or Game three, Luiski or may.

1034
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 2: King Louis, This dude is unbelievable.

1035
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: Ye at one point had like a on base or

1036
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: a I think, yeah, maybe it wasn't on base street.

1037
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: That was like seven or eight straight times he'd been

1038
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: on base. He's turned into a really good player, like

1039
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: just really good.

1040
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 3: First time is major major league career leading off, and

1041
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: he was on base in all four of his at

1042
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 3: bats on Saturday.

1043
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: He is such an old school player, Like you know,

1044
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: we've talked about it multiple episodes, but like you know,

1045
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: Buck loves him. You know, all the old school fans

1046
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: love him. He's got no batting gloves. He loves to

1047
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: get dirty. He fouls, He'll he'll foul ball one hundred times.

1048
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 3: He doesn't care.

1049
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: He'll just foul it off, fouled off, fouled off. Never

1050
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna hit a ton of home runs. But the dude

1051
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: does exactly what we need. Get on base, have good

1052
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: at bats, and play good defense. Like it's the Phillies

1053
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: would kill for a guy like luis Ki orby Luisky.

1054
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: Orme would probably have like the second most war on

1055
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 3: the Phillies team. Yeah, probably, yeah, Size Price Harper, He's

1056
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: just he's really good. Like you said, on base four

1057
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: times this game leading off for us exactly what we

1058
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 3: needed when we lose one of the best leadof hitters

1059
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 3: in baseball. Like kind of sweet as a joke, that

1060
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: is Luise Giermy the second best leadoff hit there in baseball.

1061
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 3: And I put in parentheses besides Brandon Nemo and all

1062
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: the people that followed me. They're like actual baseball people

1063
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,439
Speaker 3: who I think I lost a lot of followers, lost

1064
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 3: like ten followers two because people would like George Springer,

1065
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 3: Mookie bat, Tim Anderson. I was like, all right, you

1066
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: don't get it. Yeah, you're missing the joke here, because

1067
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 3: then he got on base two more times a Sunday

1068
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 3: and I retweeted, and I lost five more followers. You're

1069
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 3: losing so many followers from that take. Yeah, I think

1070
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 3: a real baseball fans like this guy's actually an idiot.

1071
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 3: I was following him souse. I thought he knew his shit.

1072
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 3: But coincidentally, we actually trailed for a hot second in

1073
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: this game, the only time we trailed its entire series,

1074
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 3: besides the inning and a half after the Castiano's home

1075
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: run on Sunday, which I'd happiness. It was the first

1076
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 3: time we were showing this whole series after a little

1077
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 3: little soft line draft in real muta that played a

1078
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 3: two and he. I think it was the second, but

1079
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: maybe it was the third because right away fourth inning,

1080
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 3: Jeff McNeil answered back with a very nice home run

1081
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 3: and when he swings the bat like he swung it

1082
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 3: there in a low and inside pitch he looks like

1083
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 3: who could park twenty home runs again like he did

1084
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 3: with the rabbit ball. But brew the rain great called

1085
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 3: by Waynran Daze on the radio. And this team has

1086
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: made such a habit of answering back after another team scores.

1087
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure. There's so much just gusto perseverance within

1088
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 3: this roster. Yeah No.

1089
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: Ed McNeil had a good quote after the game because

1090
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: apparently there was an eagle flying around the stadium and

1091
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: he got up on a perch or where allege whatever

1092
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: it was, and you just kind of sat there during

1093
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: the McNeil that bad apparently, and McNeil said, I was

1094
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of staring out into space, into nothing, and then

1095
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: I saw something.

1096
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was.

1097
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: It was a bird like and he was like, say, like,

1098
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: I saw it right before I took the at bat

1099
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:15,720
Speaker 1: and I hit a home run.

1100
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 3: Let's let's find that bird.

1101
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 2: Keep them.

1102
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say cage the bird. That feels

1103
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: a little mean, but let's keep it in the stadium.

1104
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: Whenever McNeil's up at the plate, I don't know, cagu

1105
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: if it has to. If that means jeff'neil'shitting home runs.

1106
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 3: If that wasn't eagle, that that's a very that's an eagle.

1107
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 3: It likes to travel, because I don't think there's that

1108
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 3: many eagles hanging out around the Five boroughs of New York.

1109
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 3: I think there's many eagles in general, I don't. I

1110
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 3: think if there's any of them there, they're significantly structured

1111
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 3: out west. Maybe a couple in North Jersey, maybe the Island.

1112
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it could have been a hawk, but I

1113
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 3: like the eagle sounds cooler. But from that moment on,

1114
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 3: we poured it on. Wound up scoring eight runs in

1115
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 3: this game, Philly thinking it anymore after that real Muto

1116
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,959
Speaker 3: two ribby single, Lindor had a RBI triple, another single later.

1117
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 3: I think Pete had an RBI mixed in and it

1118
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 3: was just just one beat. This team didn't look back.

1119
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 3: Very nice Saturday night in the ball park.

1120
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, easy, Taiwan doing the Taiwan thing which I think

1121
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: we're just going to become accustomed to now, which is

1122
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: pitch the contact, gets soft contact and be okay.

1123
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, only one strikeoun on two walks, gave up six

1124
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 3: hits scattered across five innings. Just very casually good. It's

1125
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 3: very fun to watch Taiwan pitch when you have at

1126
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 3: least a four run lead. Yeah, oh you feel great

1127
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: because he's incredible. Oh, fly ball over there, line drive

1128
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 3: over there, ground ball over there. It's not a big deal.

1129
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 3: Not a big deal. All On the other trend for

1130
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 3: Taiwan I have been talking about a lot recently. His

1131
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 3: splitter was his most thrown pitch again on Saturday Night.

1132
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 3: That's a few times now he's done that over the

1133
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 3: last month. It's a trend developing there and I'm hoping,

1134
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 3: praying that there's more whists to come from that, because

1135
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 3: that pitch is getting an adequate amount whiffs. It's everything

1136
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: else that's not. But this seems to be something as

1137
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 3: he becomes more comfortable that pitch, something that maybe could

1138
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 3: change the way he pitches.

1139
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 2: Our boy Holderman two two innings in this one. Three k's.

1140
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: Everyone's hip to him now.

1141
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just really good. We called him out Arizona

1142
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: Fall League. Remember We're like, yeah, this guy's got a

1143
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: little bit of stuff. And even this year I was like,

1144
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: keep an eye out for Colin Holderman coming into the season.

1145
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: This is a reliever that can come up and make

1146
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: an impact.

1147
00:42:59,160 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 3: He's by No.

1148
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 2: He's the best reliever in this pen, but for the.

1149
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: Job and the role that he has right now in

1150
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: this hierarchy in the bullpen, he is just dominating.

1151
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 2: He's been fantastic, And.

1152
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 3: With that, he kind of has a very cool pitch

1153
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 3: mix going on for reliever because he has the color sinker,

1154
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 3: something like a Milanson has another pitch to contact relievers,

1155
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 3: but he'd be so young and he's so big. He

1156
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 3: throws him really hard, like to have that colored sinker.

1157
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 3: Two pitches that move in opposite directions. That seems like

1158
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 3: he's tunneling kind of well because hitters don't seem to

1159
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: be able to pick them up that are coming in

1160
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,959
Speaker 3: ninety four, ninety five, ninety six, sometimes ninety seven miles

1161
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 3: an hour. You're gonna have at least a nice little

1162
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 3: run here of being successful before even the league catches up,

1163
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: or eventually in years you lose some of that velocity.

1164
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 3: So it looks like Colin Holderman is going to be

1165
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 3: a little bit of a piece here coming with this bullpen.

1166
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 3: As we need help.

1167
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, You'm gonna fill in for this Drew Smith role

1168
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: for the next probably couple days or however long. It's

1169
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: gonna be which will be nice because Holderman's got good stuff.

1170
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: And then we had Lugo pitch in the ninth, which

1171
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: was weird because we haven't seen Lugo do back to

1172
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: back days like almost at all this year, and seemingly

1173
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: he did in a game that was pretty much over.

1174
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 3: But I mean it was fine.

1175
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 2: He ended up being Okay, It's just it's a weird call.

1176
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was great. It's just this was an issue

1177
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 3: that compounded what happened on Sunday. Who would have lost

1178
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 3: on Sunday, This would have been the big story coming

1179
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 3: out of the series that you know, through five pitches

1180
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 3: on Friday, he got just one out, He only threw

1181
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 3: needed nine pitches. They get through a ninth inning against

1182
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 3: the Phillies, but you're up by six runs. And this

1183
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 3: is a guy who, as the bullpen is developing now,

1184
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 3: he is basically not basically he is I would say

1185
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: your second best healthy reliever at this given moment, behind

1186
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 3: Edvian Diaz, probably probably still a hair more reliable than

1187
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: Drew Smith. So it's just weird that they threw him

1188
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 3: out there the six run lead, with knowing they had

1189
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: a game on Sunday, no off day on Monday, when

1190
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 3: they're already so finicky with him as is, and that

1191
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 3: again put us in a situation where Adam Outavino had to

1192
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 3: get a big out against the right handed Hither on Sunday,

1193
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 3: right in Seth Lugo, where I would have been very

1194
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 3: comfortable with Adam Motevino pitching in the a six run

1195
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 3: lead on Saturday. But also seems like Ottavino is a

1196
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 3: guy who Buck likes more to come in with men

1197
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 3: on base, which I also think is counterintuitive. But also

1198
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 3: maybe I don't know. They on Friday Lugo came in

1199
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 3: with men on I don't know, it's weird. I just

1200
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 3: we're nipicking here, one tiny thing we have to talk about.

1201
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 3: I just thought it was weird that Seth Lugo pitched

1202
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 3: the ninth ending of a six round game.

1203
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: It would be really fun one day if this ever

1204
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: were to happen, to sit down with Buck Show Walter

1205
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: and just say, talk to me about the bullpen. I

1206
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: would just like to hear your thoughts. I'm not gonna

1207
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: ask you anything. I just want you to tell me

1208
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: what you know, what you think.

1209
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 3: If that was to happen potentially, I mean, I don't know,

1210
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 3: it's anything possible.

1211
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 2: Anything's possible.

1212
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 3: I don't know. We'd have to do that in a

1213
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 3: way that came off very very unabrasive, yes and polite.

1214
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: And I think we could. I think we could. We

1215
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 2: want to hear what you think about the bullpen. Just

1216
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:33,479
Speaker 2: talk for twenty minutes.

1217
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 3: I'm sure Buck likes to talk a little bit. I'm

1218
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 3: sure for sure if theoretically has to be either like

1219
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 3: long into an interview, we could possibly ever theoretically do

1220
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: with Buck, or it would be like the second time

1221
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 3: we talked to him. Yes, he would have to like us,

1222
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 3: and then we could ask him a baseball question. Yeah, no,

1223
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 3: not the first one for sure, but he first thirty

1224
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 3: minutes with Buck, however it falls. But have to theoretically

1225
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 3: be nice, happy, life stuff, history of baseball, all this

1226
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: kind of shit. Yeah, which I'm sure we could figure

1227
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: that out. Maybe some day.

1228
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, We'll see how we do. But yeah,

1229
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: how was the sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies. Like I said,

1230
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: they are ten and a half games back of first

1231
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: place in the National League East, which is just so nice.

1232
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: The Mets are really really playing some solid baseball right now.

1233
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: I know the Phillies again aren't one of the best teams,

1234
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: and we have the Nationals coming up next, which again

1235
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: aren't one of the best teams, right before this big

1236
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: West Coast trip, which is going to be a huge,

1237
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: huge test for the Mets. But at least right now,

1238
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: like I don't want to say this gives us like

1239
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: a little breathing room, a little cushion, but the fact

1240
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: that we were able to take three from the Phillies here,

1241
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: everyone could take a little bit of a deep breath,

1242
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: get through Washington play well against them.

1243
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 3: I don't want to look too far ahead, but that

1244
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 3: West Coast trip's huge. Now, this gives us certainly some

1245
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 3: breathing room in this division. It kind of again toasted

1246
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 3: the Phillies in the divisional race. Kind of not. Actually,

1247
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 3: we're only fifty games in and we've seen the mess

1248
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 3: blow crazy least the Phillies in the past. A lot

1249
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 3: of people on Twitter, we're talking about this killed the Phillies.

1250
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 3: That's just not true. The only five games out of

1251
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 3: wildcard spot and they still have a relatively talented team

1252
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 3: that will have a hot streak in them. Just happy

1253
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 3: that we don't have to see them until the middle

1254
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 3: of August even tho, if the hot streak happens, it

1255
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 3: likely won't affect us in your future. And the Phillies

1256
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 3: right now, we're six games under five hundred, and they're

1257
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 3: three to nine against the Mets. Like what we've done

1258
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 3: to them has single handedly tanked this first part of

1259
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 3: their season. Like there's no two ways about it. If

1260
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 3: we've only played the Phillies six times, they probably have

1261
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 3: slightly better records. They wouldn't have to run to the

1262
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 3: Mets twelve times before Memorial Day and lose nine of

1263
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 3: those games, Like that's a big that's a big strain

1264
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 3: on any team schedule when you lose three quarters of

1265
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 3: those freaking games, Like, that's gonna kill you. They only

1266
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 3: have three more wins than the Washington Nationals.

1267
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: Three more.

1268
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: That's a big part because of the New York Mets.

1269
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: We are just simply better than we have beat up

1270
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: on them. We've vote won nine of twelve. Just a

1271
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: fantastic job beating up the team that you're supposed to do.

1272
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 3: And on top of that, if you remember, we lost

1273
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: the Phillies the first time we played them this year, correct, Yeah,

1274
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 3: I believe so. Yeah, that eighth inning game we blew

1275
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 3: that way back in April for the day after we

1276
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: blew that Supernationals game, last day that series. So Mets

1277
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 3: are nine to two against the Phillies in the last

1278
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 3: eleven and that game was the one we should have won.

1279
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, that was the one we were like, this

1280
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: is easy, we got this on lock. It's just I

1281
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: really do think ever since that Lindor like the big,

1282
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: big comeback, I think the Phillies have just kind of

1283
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: came into this like what do we do?

1284
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do against the Mets. They're

1285
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 2: better than us, They're really good.

1286
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 3: Also, on top of that, the Phillies have a lot

1287
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 3: of star power in this roster. But in the games

1288
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 3: that we played against them, our big time players really

1289
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 3: stepped up and done incredible things. And when you play

1290
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 3: a team twelve times, that's not really indicative sample of everything,

1291
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 3: but it's enough games to really see who's doing what, when,

1292
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 3: where and why. Francisco and Door in twelve games against

1293
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 3: the Phillies twelve runs score eleven RBIs he Alonzo and

1294
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 3: eleven games against the Phillies five home runs eighteen RBIs

1295
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 3: three sixty four fifty eight ten slash line that's twelve

1296
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 3: sixty ops. With that, it's ridiculous. Starling Marte seven RBIs

1297
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 3: and twelve runs scored against the Phillies. Brandon Nimo in

1298
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 3: just ten games, two home runs, nine runs scored and

1299
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 3: nine to seventy ops. Chris Bassett and two starts against

1300
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,919
Speaker 3: the Phillies. One point five to four ERA and eleven strikeouts.

1301
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz against the Phillies is a big one. Edvan

1302
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 3: Diesa hasn't blown saves against the Phillies in the past,

1303
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 3: specifically twenty nineteen. Everybody remembers the genius or day game

1304
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: home run, six appearances, four saves, thirteen strikeouts, only one

1305
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 3: earned run and a zero point eight three whip. It's unbelievable.

1306
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. That is how you how you take care

1307
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 2: of business.

1308
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned Lindor Nimo, Marte, our first three

1309
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: hitters in the lineup has thirty three runs in the

1310
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: twelve games that we've played against the Phillies. With those

1311
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: three guys alone that they have scored, that's crazy.

1312
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: You could have jumped in there too. I'm sure he

1313
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 3: has at least ten and I only took track of

1314
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 3: the RBIs in the home runs, because eighteen RBIs and

1315
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 3: twelve games against team with five home runs is ridiculous.

1316
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: Nuts, he's absolutely dominating them as it dominated the Phillies thus.

1317
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 3: Far this season.

1318
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 1: We aren't done, but we are done for the foreseeable future.

1319
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: And August twelfth, August twelfth, next time we played them.

1320
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 3: Wow, it's a long time. That's it's a lifetime away.

1321
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 3: They could look completely different. They might have a new manager.

1322
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 3: They might have a new manager. I'm probably can live

1323
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 3: in a different apartment.

1324
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for Sure's I'll be in a different apartment too.

1325
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

1326
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: Three big, that's so wow. All right, enough about the Phillies.

1327
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: Now we beat up on them enough, they stay their

1328
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: fourth place team. I'm gonna say all that stuff as

1329
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: long as I can. Let's go talk about the Washington Nationals. Now,

1330
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 1: who you guys will be watching that game tonight, probably

1331
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: maybe as you're listening to this episode. But we know

1332
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: the Nationals are not particularly good. I did say they

1333
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: only have three less wins than the Phillies, which feels

1334
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 1: kind of a little scary if you're a Philly fan.

1335
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: That's a good thing to scare at Philly fan today.

1336
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: Say you only have three more wins than the Nationals.

1337
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 3: That's fun, but more the Nationals Nationals bats are getting

1338
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 3: hot too, So who knows what are there?

1339
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: What's the pitching matchups for this one? I can't imagine

1340
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be star studded by any means.

1341
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 3: No, definitely not Monday night. Whether you guys are listening

1342
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 3: to this Tuesday morning, when you're going to work, come

1343
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 3: home from work, or sitting at work, you might be

1344
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 3: time traveling here, so you'll know what happened. We don't

1345
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 3: know yet. We could assume that David Peerson's gonna beat

1346
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 3: Eric Fetty, even though Eric Fetty has been a thord

1347
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 3: in our sides before and actually has been pitching kind

1348
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 3: of well, which that would be really annoying if Eric

1349
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 3: Fetty shut us down. Tuesday night, we have Trevor Williams

1350
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,479
Speaker 3: orus Patrick Corbin in a It's gonna be a balls

1351
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 3: and play game, and then Wednesday Mattine before the Mets

1352
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 3: head out to LA for a four game set with

1353
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. It starts on Thursday, which I did not

1354
00:50:58,239 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 3: realize I was a four game set until I just

1355
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 3: looked schedule. I didn't those four games either. There you go. Well,

1356
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 3: that one's gonna be Carlos carrasco versus mister TBA. We

1357
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: don't know. I think that lines up for Jona Doan,

1358
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 3: but he's been really bad, so it could basically be anybody.

1359
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: I mean, could be Kavali, who knows.

1360
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Vali would be cool, although it wouldn't because

1361
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: I want to I want to wreck him if we're

1362
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: playing him, but I want him to do well otherwise.

1363
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, the Nationals we know are not

1364
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: very good. Like you said, the offense starting heat up

1365
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. SODA's obviously a stud, Josh Bell, Nelson Cruz.

1366
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Hyler Hernandez still hits it well too, like

1367
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 3: he has good stats this year, having a lot of

1368
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 3: deep fantasy leagues doing well.

1369
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: I want to say the Nationals are not the worst

1370
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: bad team because they can hit. There's at least some

1371
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: competent hitters. It really just is we should be able

1372
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: to score a ton of runs. Their starting pitching isn't

1373
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: good and their bullpen's even worse.

1374
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,479
Speaker 3: Definitely, and a big key that is going to making

1375
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 3: sure Eric Fevy and Patrick korb Been do not throw

1376
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 3: six innings in these first two games. Because with no

1377
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 3: off day, this bullpen's bad anyway. Just get these guys

1378
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 3: out of the game before the fifth inning and you'll

1379
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 3: just be able to feast on this horrific Nationals ballpen

1380
00:51:58,239 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 3: as usual.

1381
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, really want another sweep. I want another sweepier going

1382
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: into that California series, I'm gonna ask for a lot.

1383
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 3: Sweep Happy now, Oh, I'm very sweet happy.

1384
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: After the Phillies thing yesterday, I was I was doing

1385
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: the sweeping. I was sweeping up everything, sweeping up all

1386
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: the garbage, letting Philly fans know to get out of here.

1387
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous that we can have this good of a

1388
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 3: record and that was our first sweep of the year.

1389
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 3: It's just unbelievably ridiculous.

1390
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: You know, Like I feel like people say this at

1391
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: the end of the year, like, well, if you win

1392
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: two of three every series, you'll be one hundred and

1393
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: six and fifty four or whatever it is, and you're like,

1394
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: it's really hard to do, but the metsic kind of

1395
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: doing it right now.

1396
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 3: Keep going. Now we're back to just needing to win

1397
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 3: two out of three because we lost one series. Now

1398
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 3: we got the sweep, we grab that game back. So

1399
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 3: I just keep doing two out of.

1400
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 2: Three, two out of three, we'll be feeling fine. I'm

1401
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: sure we're gonnaeel fine after this series.

1402
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 3: Too, definitely, And the series is very important because after

1403
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 3: the series, the Mets have four in LA against the Dodgers,

1404
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 3: three in San Diego three and Anaheim that at home

1405
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 3: for three against the Brewers. So that is more than

1406
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 3: two consecutive weeks of teams well over five hundred, all

1407
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 3: playoff teams as well, yes, all teams. I probably even

1408
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 3: will stick in this playoff race for a little while. Shocking.

1409
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 3: The team I have that I'm the most skeptical of

1410
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 3: is the Padres. Yeah, I mean me and you have

1411
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 3: been saying that forever. It's their pen and paper. They're

1412
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 3: just they're dumb. Over in San Diego, it seems like

1413
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 3: they just acquired so many, like such a high quantity

1414
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 3: of starting pitchers that they're able to get through enough

1415
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 3: games over and over again where it's fine, especially with

1416
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 3: many and Machado hitting like three sixty or whatever he's

1417
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 3: still hitting. But just gotta get this, get get get

1418
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 3: these wins in Washington at home against Washington, and then

1419
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 3: take this West coast trip one day at a time. Definitely.

1420
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: I think that's a perfect way for us to wrap

1421
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,960
