1
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Wow, sweep sweep Mets, gotta sweep four game winning streak.

2
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: Thank god.

3
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I the Angels fans on the internet hate me because

4
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: I talk a lot of trash. I talk a lot

5
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: of trash about the American League teams in general. Angels

6
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: are one of my favorite to take shots at. Over

7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: on my Twitter draft, Neckmark followed me there.

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, sweep by the Mets. Was it pretty? No?

9
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: Was it clean? No? Not at all?

10
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: But did the Mets beat the Angels because they're a

11
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: better team, Oh, one hundred percent. And we will talk

12
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: about everything that was going on there. The bats woke

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: up a little bit at times. I mean, it's still

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: the Mets. It's still the Eric Schavaz school of hitting,

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: so they can't get too too hot. But they scored

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: more runs than they had previously against Cincinnati Reds, And

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this Angel's pitching is horrible, so I'm glad

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: that they were able to at least swing the bat

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: effectively at times during this series. We've also got a

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: little bit of a media marvel for you guys coming up.

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: We have Daniel Murphy coming on the podcast tomorrow morning.

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: We're recording with him, so that episode will be out.

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: I believe on Friday, maybe Saturday for you guys, depending

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: on when we want to drop it. We're gonna talk

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes of hitting with him. So make sure

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: you are subscribed to the YouTube channel metstup podcast so

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: you can see the video version of that. If you

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: want to listen to us on your commute to work

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: wherever you're gonna be, maybe you're taking a trip this weekend.

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Mets up podcast on Google, Spotify, iTunes.

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: What's the other one? Apple? Apple podcasts? I'm changing it up.

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: I have the time machine time machine, but regardless follow us,

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: we do appreciate it. And social media at mets up

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. James a little bit of

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: a late night episode feels like the series ended eight

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: hours ago, because it did. We are recorded at midnight.

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: But how are we feeling coming off this sweep? After

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: this was a weird series against the Reds.

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: I'm feeling good. You almost put me this sleep with

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: the longest intro ever. But this was these games, I

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: said in like the notes I drop on Twitter after

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: every game, these wins felt like the shitty games that

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: we were winning, like in April and May, when I

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: don't like I know we're a better team, we don't

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: usually act like it. But when the other team did

46
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: wind up making a mistake or two, that was when

47
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: we took our opportunities and pounced on them. That is

48
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 2: what this series felt like. We got, at least towards

49
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: the end of the series, big contributions from the top

50
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: of the order. We got against the beginning of the season.

51
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: Good starting pitching in this series, oddly enough, from relatively

52
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: unlikely sources, everyone besides Cordasanga, and it was it was

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: just you kind of put on you, kind of let

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: the other team make mistakes, and when they make them,

55
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: you take advantage of that. Because this Angels team is

56
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: future defensively one of the worst I've seen all season.

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: Keith and Ron let them know that too many times

58
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: in these broadcasts. But just a good, solid series where

59
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: you come out with a sweep. When when's he even Mets

60
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: last weep the Rockies, Keys, I'll scroll get that right now.

61
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: The last one when they beat the crap out of

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: the Rockies or the National Nationals.

63
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: I think it was. Mets are also the last team

64
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: to beat the Blue Jays in three game series unless

65
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: they lost again today. I don't I mean the Brewers

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: in the three game series unless they lost again today.

67
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: I haven't checked that one back. But the Mets last

68
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: weep was the Nationals on June tenth through twelfth. Yeah,

69
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: so that's way over a month ago. Nice. Yeah, good,

70
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: right before Pride and Night love that. But it was

71
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: again just a good series that we were better, and

72
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: we acted better and a big driving force and being better.

73
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: This series was the return of Francisco Alvarez and his

74
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: bat especially on Monday and Tuesday, really pushing us to

75
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: these victories.

76
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is so back. You texted me when the

77
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: call up happened. You're like, I think he's just back.

78
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: I think text you last week.

79
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Was it that long ago? I thought it was like

80
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: right before the call up. It was one when I

81
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: saw him do the toe tab pull home run over

82
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: the batters ires, try the waye centerfield batterers ie in Syracuse,

83
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: I was like, I just I feel something. I see

84
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: something in his eyes. I think that's it. He's ready

85
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: to go.

86
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: You would be correct, because if you look at all

87
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: his batting stands statistics over on Baseball Savant, he is

88
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: fifteen degrees. Oh and again he is in the same

89
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: spot he was in the box. He's backed up off

90
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: the plate, and he's taking absolute daddy hacks.

91
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: The swing speed is way way, way up.

92
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: From where it was on the season averages, and right

93
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: now even on Savant because Alvarez still doesn't have that

94
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: many swings, it's been going up steadily and steadily. Right

95
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: now it's at seventy three point six, but I think

96
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: before even this series, it was a little bit lower,

97
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: and he took multiple swings around like seventy seven to

98
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: seventy eight miles an hour. It's fantastic to see Francisco

99
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Alrez at least appeared to be back in his old

100
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: form when we fell in love with him as a prospect,

101
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: when everybody in baseball did and went, Wow, this guy

102
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: has the chance to be something special. He was pulling

103
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: the baseball, he was taking his big fucking hacks, and

104
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: he was hitting the ball hard. And that's exactly what

105
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: he did this series, which.

106
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: Was so amazing to see, so amazing, especially as that

107
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: game moved along on Monday, it felt like more of

108
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: the same olds where it was like, oh, we can't

109
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: buy a hit against Tyler Anderson, who's a certified Mets killer.

110
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: Baity did get us off the schneid, But then it

111
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: was that big double by Alvarez late he was the first.

112
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: It was actually the walk by Alvarez. A lot of

113
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: people are glossed over that walk. And it was that

114
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: seventh inning walk where again it was still Tyler Anderson pitching.

115
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: I texted you like, as a very intentional jokes. Oh,

116
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: I was like, Tyler Anderson had has he hasn't this

117
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: guys gon through seven innings all year? This is ridiculous

118
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: and we were just chirping about that. But he works

119
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: that tough walk, not really tough walk. I just missed

120
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 2: the four pitches. But good on Alvarez, not the swing

121
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: that started the entire rally, because then coudon you got

122
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: the single nim Go hit by the pitch Lindor had

123
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: the Lindor had the RBI fielder's choice that he still second.

124
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: For some reason umbnounced to me why the Angels logan

125
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: hoppy is a bit of a disaster behind the plate,

126
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: but still in a two run game, throwing down the second,

127
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: I care much more about that guy and second than

128
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: the guy on third to not even attempt to throw

129
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: and then not and then allow Wan Solo to have

130
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: the entire middle of the field to himself, leave that

131
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: whole open while also not making throw the second base. Boom,

132
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: that's it. Tie the game. And now you're like big

133
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: moment of exhale to the kind of set the table

134
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: for Alvarez again later. Yeah, it was really nice. A

135
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: shout out Steven.

136
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: You guys may remember him from the working during the

137
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: Mets days. He would our favorite security guard at Cityfield.

138
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely legend went to his barbecues after games. Steven is

139
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: an ultimate ten out of ten vibes guy. And I

140
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: was at the game. I was doing some like filming

141
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: and stuff that I had to do for a sponsor

142
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: shout out Mumu, and I was not in a great

143
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: mood because I was like, I'm here, They're playing like shit.

144
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Anderson is locking us down. We were playing sloppy defense.

145
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: That ball down the corner that Nemo overthrew Lindor, Lindor

146
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: made the horrendous throw, then the home the guy got

147
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: another base.

148
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: Mets were playing bad, unwatchable defense.

149
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: My phone was dying, so I had to charge my

150
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: phone at one of those tables in the back corner

151
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: by the shape Bridge. I was like, this is such

152
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: a shit fucking night, Like I hate this game. I

153
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: was texting James Sex and my dad. I was in

154
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: such a bad mood and I was like, you're alone too, right, Yeah,

155
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: I was alone, so that even worse. I was just stewing.

156
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: I was just stewing mad. I was like, I gotta

157
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: change the vibe around. I'm gonna go walk around Steve.

158
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: And I knows the security guard out and I believe

159
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: it's like the Caesars Sportsbook lounge out in the left field,

160
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: that big glass thing by the foul pole. And I'm

161
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: walking and I see him and I'm like, you know what,

162
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: I just need to go say what's up to Steven?

163
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Break it up, change things around. Saw him incredible vibes

164
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: from that moment on the Mets got the huge play.

165
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: I didn't even know because I was talking with him

166
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: that Brett Baty made that great play at the plate

167
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: to get Mike Trout.

168
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: In the seventh thing to get the Mets out of

169
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: the jam. You told me about that fine play at

170
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: the play. It was it was a good it was

171
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: like it was just the play of the plate that

172
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: It's why he was describing to you that like a

173
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: winning team and a good player makes And we'll definitely

174
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: talk a lot about Baty Morren's episode because he just

175
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: kind of keeps sending it again. His home run did

176
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: kind of let the team Breathe kind of get the

177
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: monkey bid off our backs early in this game, crush

178
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: that ball, just pulling the ball with aory.

179
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a Steven. Yeah that play happened.

180
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: Come back out. I find my little spot where I

181
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: stand the entire rest of the game. I don't move

182
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: inside the pole that I was in, even though I

183
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: could have had a better view, because I'm so superstitious.

184
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: Mets put up all those runs, alt Resident hits that

185
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: double Because Chris Taylor's in right field for the Los

186
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels in the year twenty twenty five, this Angels

187
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: team will talk about a little bit more. From a

188
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: roster construction standpoint, is baffling because they're so aggressive with

189
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: their young guys. But then you have like Chris Taylor,

190
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: who shouldn't be on a major league team, Kevin Newman,

191
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: these guys still sticking around, which crazy, but.

192
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: It was amazing to see.

193
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: It was such a nice comeback, and it really did

194
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: I feel like almost lift like a little bit of

195
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: a weight off the Mets players shoulders a little bit,

196
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: felt like they got a little loose in that moment.

197
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: I think a big way off the Mets players shoulders,

198
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: because again, like baseball, when Yokiberra say it's like ninety

199
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: percent mental, one percent physical, nine percent mental, fifty percent physical,

200
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: Like this team was kind of trapped. It kind of

201
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: couldn't get that have their own way. Sometimes you just

202
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: need things to break your way, things to go right.

203
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: Kind of have to get lucky a little bit. That's

204
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: kind of what baseball is about. Can't even think about

205
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: how many times we called breaks last season on that

206
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: magical run, like how many? How many little things have

207
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: to go your way. So when little things like this

208
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: go your way, like yeah, that seventh inning, Alvarez works

209
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: the lead off walk, Luis and hellakoone hits a well

210
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: placed ground ball, and then Brandon Mugets hit by a pitch,

211
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: and then you get a field of choice in the

212
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: right spot, a stolen base for no reason. Then your

213
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: best player gets gets the big RBS single that you need,

214
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: like it just you get the snowball effect happening, and

215
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: that's when you have the confidence bills, which this team

216
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: kind of seems like they oddly desperately need right now

217
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 2: as confience, which was the cruxhar whole conversation last week.

218
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: Show you guys for dealing with Mark and Ized temper

219
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: tantrums last month, and I liked it, though I think

220
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: people liked it. A lot of the comments were on

221
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: my side, but they're big guy, I know well, I

222
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: mean they think about the YouTube comments section, tip your

223
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: tip the cats you for that one, come on a

224
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: YouTube master and if you liked it too, That's why

225
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: I had that conversation began to now have him coming

226
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: on the podcast tomorrow. But this team just they were

227
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: so damn tight and they needed some bullshit to happen

228
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: and go their way to kind of loosen up. And

229
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: then especially I love that the whole thing was underscored

230
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: by Wan so though hitting the ground ball the second

231
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: base he always hits, but no one was standing there.

232
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: When that ball came off as bad, I was like shit,

233
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: and then there was yeah, yes, holl yeah, perfect, She's.

234
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: Like again, we hit it right there at Their defensive

235
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: positioning is crazy too. No one gets to any balls

236
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: on that and pen pen and paper it's uh Ray

237
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: Montgomery went to ford him.

238
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: He's a smart guy.

239
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: But I just maybe they're still operating, like you said,

240
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: with pen and paper. It's crazy how that team operates again,

241
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: Kevin Newman and Chris Taylor and even the mount Wade

242
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: getting as much playing time as he is, Like, it's

243
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of nuts. But then like they'll bring netto up,

244
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: They'll bring shit well up. They'll play Jo Adell every

245
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: single day. They'll bring up Ben Joyce and Ryan Johnson

246
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: who never even pitched a game in the minor leagues

247
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: ever in his career. But then they have these retreads

248
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: and you're like, I can understand some of the decision making,

249
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: but then this that's baffling. And Chris Taylor in right

250
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: field at the end of the game. I know, Mike

251
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: Trouts hurt, he can't play the outfield he's been dhing.

252
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: How is there no other outfield option that can play

253
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: right field than Chris Taylor in this entire organization.

254
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: I mean, Joe Withdell's playing center. This team definitely doesn't

255
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: a prioritize defense. And it was I mean, also, this

256
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: the whole thing happened. We took the lead on a

257
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: regular ground ball, basically the same play that Brett Baby

258
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: made the inning before ground balliol Makata hit by ron

259
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: and Ricio. Kind of a bad piece of hitting by Ronnie.

260
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: He didn't really, he kind of he kind of took

261
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: he didn't swing in the bad pitch was it was

262
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: a slider right in his own but he didn't. I'm

263
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: trying to find my words here. It was just a

264
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: bad piece of hitting early in the count in a

265
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: situation where all you need was a fly ball to

266
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: take the lead in this game. And he did get

267
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: batted out by Malkada, who somehow see also it wasn't

268
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: also the worst or whatever. A hoppy just completely wished

269
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: on it as well. He's trying to back to the

270
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: tag before it got to him.

271
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: As good as o'hapi is at hitting for power, because

272
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: that is his calling card. Clearly, he's got legit pop

273
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: in that bat here. Yeah, he is a complete butcher

274
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: behind the plate. He's horrible back.

275
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 2: There, very bad. And that was a bad play. And

276
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 2: then the opposite of this, which is you know what's

277
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: going to happen in the lineup when you go from nine

278
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: to one. Brandimo great piece of hitting right after that

279
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: it took. Also, I think it was a slider in

280
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: the zone also from a guy brock Burke. Yeah, it

281
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: was a slyer in the zone. He just served at

282
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 2: the outfield, got the insurance run kind of let all

283
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: of us breathe, and Edward Diz comes out strikes out

284
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: the side and that was like, ah, that's like that

285
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: was an exalting win.

286
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: On Monday night time for a quickie break, Todd Father

287
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 3: and I are going to tell you about Huel, but

288
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: it's mostly going to be Todd Father because I'm going

289
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 3: to take a sit.

290
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: Well, we're talking about Huel, twenty seven vitamins and minerals.

291

292
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: schedules of Scott's sipping it down and looks delicious. It

293
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 4: tastes delicious when we're on the run, we need something

294
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: to eat quick. And guess what Huele is. There all

295
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 4: different flavors. Scotty loves them. I love him and I

296
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 4: love how variety packed it is and we can eat

297
00:11:59,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: him anytime.

298
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,679

309
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: casual standing ovation for Francisco Alvresident's first step back back

310
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: from the minor leagues. I don't think that was anything

311
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: that was planned. I didn't see it discussed on social media.

312
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: The reason I did it I saw people around me.

313
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: Alvarez gets announced up. I was giving them a big

314
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: round of applause, but everyone starts saying, like, you know what,

315
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: let's go, let's hype up Francisco Avres.

316
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: He's twenty three years old.

317
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: His own coach, his own hitting coach, said you stunk

318
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: when you had arguably one of the best years of

319
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: catcher has ever had at the age of twenty one,

320
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: debatably ever, and you're going coach said you stunk.

321
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: I'm down to bump him up.

322
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: Boost him up, shout Jpire and CBA as well, getting

323
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: him right and being pumped for him on Instagram.

324
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: Must be nice to have a coach that azerback. After

325
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: the game, Alvarez said to the media that that ovation

326
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: really helped him feel better, feel more comfortable, gave him

327
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: some more confidence. Again, that confidence led to being a

328
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: base three times, being in the middle. It's the two

329
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: rallies that helped us win this game. Also, I just

330
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: have to say this everything comes. I'm to talk about

331
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: al for his the rest of this season. When cal

332
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: Raley was alvarez a, she had never taken a batcher play.

333
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: I love so just again just to continue to put

334
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: the perspective out there for how young Francisco Alvarezes and

335
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: how much more time he still has to be great,

336
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: even if you want to take out from the scope

337
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: of like being a catcher as young as he is

338
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: doing what he's doing. Joe Addell was a horrendous player

339
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 2: at the major league level for four seasons going on five,

340
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: and this year he was a borderline All Star. A

341
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: guy who's crushing the base while playing really really well

342
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: for the Angels. The guy who's going to be a

343
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: part of that future team for sure. He's a piece

344
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: now and it took him forever to figure it out,

345
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: or a real last trade chick, because he's a really

346
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: good player that a lot of teams definitely go after

347
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: this year. But I do think the Angels, just because

348
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: they're close to being in it, are going to just

349
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: burn baby burn and try to do whatever they can

350
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: to get to get one of these American League wildcard

351
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: sprayo because those wildcross spots are up for grabs. But also,

352
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: I do want to say also, I mean, we're saying

353
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: this Brett baby right in front of our eyes, twenty

354
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: five years old. Actually finally they tak taking the step

355
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: forward and blossoming as a player baby in the last

356
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: month second nine hundred ops.

357
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: So good, dude, he's so good. The swings are violent,

358
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: which I absolutely love. We know he has one of

359
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: the best bat speeds in the game. And what happens

360
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: when you swing the bat fast games and you hit

361
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: the baseball goes far, goes far, goes far, hit hard.

362
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: He's got four homers in the last thirty games. He's

363
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: got ten RBIs, he's got a three forty on base

364
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: for sixty slugging like he has just turned into an

365
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: every day major league player. The OPS is creeped up

366
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: to seven to twenty right now, and again, if you

367
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: take away that putrid, awful spell that he had at

368
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: the start of the year, he's having a fantastic season

369
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: for this Mets team, better than we even asked for

370
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: with the low expectations coming into the season.

371
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: So coming into the game on Wednesday, baby, since he

372
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: got called back up, so taking away the horrible puture

373
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: Spelly had to start. Then also taking away the week

374
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: and a half of good ball he had before getting

375
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: sent back down for McNeil. That ended with ironically that

376
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: home run off of Zach Wheeler where we were like,

377
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know, maybe maybe, But since then we've

378
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: got sixty one games, seven to sixty OPS, ten home

379
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: runs for stolen bases. That's fantastic.

380
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: And playing great defense and not just third base, second

381
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: base as well. Those are two very different positions that

382
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: guys don't typically play the same time in the same season.

383
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: Remember, he didn't even see a three ball count until

384
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: like the third week of the season.

385
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: We celebrated and row out that on the broadcast, say

386
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: they're like man, the like growth of baby.

387
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: Even just inside the season.

388
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: Remember every time he got to the plate, you looked,

389
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: You're like, oh two, Now he's getting ahead. Now he's

390
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: punishing pitches in the zone. He's just turned into a

391
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: very good baseball player.

392
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: And while he's had that big almost nine hundred ops

393
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: over basically the last month of play, it's with a

394
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: decreasing strikeout rate and a rising walk grade. Brett Baty

395
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: still isn't the guy that makes the best swing decisions

396
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: in the league. He still sometimes lets a few too

397
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: many pitches go. He still sometimes expands his own a

398
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: little bit too much. But the fact that he's so

399
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: good right now, just simply with the bat like the

400
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: hit tool right now is the thing that's shining through.

401
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: It's actually an eighteen percent striker right in ten percent

402
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: walk grade over that last month. If Ret Baty can

403
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: sit there and be a twenty twenty five homer guy

404
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: with great defense at third base, he's a fraid he's

405
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: gonna be. He could be forever met If if he

406
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: can maintain those things, that's sure, forever mat It's just insane.

407
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: If he can actually sustain I don't think he's not

408
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: gonna be nine hundred pps. Guy, I don't think that's

409
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: every little car for Brett Baby. But just like these

410
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: little tiny incremental gains in the play discipline, in the

411
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: swing decisions, because he does still have top of the

412
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: league power, Like that's the beauty of Brett Baby. As

413
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: bad as everything got, still hit the ball hardest. Fuck,

414
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: He's still he still has some of the best bats

415
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: beat in the league, with the peaks of bat speed

416
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: up there with the top batspeed guys in the league,

417
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: with the average still being there as well. It's just

418
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: there's so many things he does well. It really just

419
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: comes down to the moments of hot and cold when

420
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: he's actually putting the bat in the ball. Ver it's

421
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: not pulling the bad of the ball. That's all saved

422
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: by the great defense.

423
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: This is a Brett Baty podcast, has always been, never was,

424
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: and it's always been a Brett Baty podcast.

425
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: Don't forget it. They called me a mad man in

426
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: February for saying that Brett Batty was going to poor

427
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: valuable playing the Mark Fianzees this season. They called me crazy.

428
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: They call me crazy sometimes they am crazy. But also

429
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: one more thing before we totally move on from Francisco Alvarez.

430
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: I want to Wedge in a little media marvel here

431
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: because it plays off of his promotion, it plays off

432
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: with the ovation, and it plays off of some of

433
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: the stuff from David right over the weekend. So this

434
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: is a tweet from friend of the podcast, Timothy Ryther formally,

435
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: if mess Meri's great, great rither podcaster, Tim's the best.

436
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: He said. We were both at the David Wright game

437
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: on Saturday, so we didn't get to watch any of

438
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: the coverage on television any stuff that Gary Keith ron Gelp,

439
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: especially when David Wright got to the booth during that game.

440
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: But Tim posted a quote that Steve gelps that I

441
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: thought was very interesting and actually just completely outright wrong.

442
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: That's why he's this week's media marvel. So this is

443
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: a quote from Tim Gelb just says something along the

444
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: lines of this being a fan base who notoriously doesn't

445
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: have players backs during bad times. Could not disagree more.

446
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: This is a fan base who is stuck out sixty

447
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: plus seasons of mostly bad baseball with either epit of

448
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: me of having our teams back. That's dead untrue. This

449
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: Mets fan base always has the players backs, I can't

450
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: believe that. Steve Gelb said that on SNYSE air waves

451
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: and we saw it absolutely crystal clear on Monday night

452
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: when Francisco Alvarez, who's been much maligned, if you just

453
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 2: spend all of your time on Twitter, people quitting on him,

454
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: people hating on him, Adam twenty three years old. I'll

455
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: say it again, Calroy never had that bad at trip Blay.

456
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: When he was twenty three years old, Adlie Russian was

457
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: still doing kickoffs for Oregon State. I think, I mean,

458
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: Adley Russian probably already had osteoporosis by the time he's

459
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: twenty two years old. That guy's old. That guy, that

460
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: guy's body is disintegrating in front of our eyes. But

461
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: Francisco Oliveras comes up to the play and like you said,

462
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: the Mets fans just naturally give him an ovation. He

463
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: comes in after the game after having a big game,

464
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 2: saying that elevation helped him, made him and made him

465
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 2: feel comfortable. Like that's that's perfect fandom right there, Like

466
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: that's what that's what the team's all about. This place

467
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 2: was packed, this entire home stand, Like it's just fucking

468
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: awesome that we have this grave of fan base here again. Yeah, no, Ivny,

469
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: Mets fans are awesome. That's such a such a bad

470
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 2: take and bad to Mike Yelps.

471
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: It's like that's a guy who hasn't really been watching

472
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: Mets baseball what seems like his entire life.

473
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: So I'll leave it at that. If somebody started watching

474
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: Mets baseball in twenty fifteen, what he was getting paid to?

475
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

476
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, what if we've been talking about for

477
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: the last month before we started moving on here talking

478
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: about other games? How badly this Mets line needs a

479
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: right handed power hire. Just please, Francis squalvors Caun you be.

480
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: If you be the right hand of power hither, you

481
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 2: will make us all so so happy. We'll be so perfect.

482
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: The ex of VELAs have been great already.

483
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: Hit he's hit balls one oh four, one oh eight,

484
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: he's pepper and the ball over place again. The swing

485
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: speed is way up, he's back to his old stance.

486
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: It's all great.

487
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: You also missed this one. Did this one happen on

488
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 2: Monday or Tuesday? But Alvarez was taking some war haacks

489
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: one of those at bats, either right before the home run,

490
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: right before the double, and Keith was like, h settle down,

491
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: young man, settle down, like you don't want to be

492
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: taken too big. The swing here and then yeah it

493
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: was Tuesday because pulls at home run.

494
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: I want everyone to take waracks. It is physically known

495
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: that if you swing the bat harder and you hit

496
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: the ball, it is going to be hit harder. This

497
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: is what the Red Sox have been preaching to all

498
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: their prospects. This is what smart teams do. This is

499
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: what good players do. If you look at swing speeds,

500
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: you look at eggs and velos, you look at success,

501
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: they're usually pretty aligned with each other. You can find

502
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: guys at swing hard and don't play well. You can

503
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: find guys that are swinging the bat as slow as noodles,

504
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: like Jacob Wilson, but have an eight to sixty OPS. Obviously,

505
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: guys can change, but for guys on this team, specifically,

506
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: I want them swinging the bat hard, and one of

507
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: them being Mark Vientos. Now we know that Mark Vento's

508
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: swings through the water. The bat looks so incredibly heavy

509
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: when this guy is up at the plate, especially this season,

510
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: and we know that his swing speed has been down.

511
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: He has a twenty eighth Percentilese swing speed right now

512
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball at seventy point eight. I did

513
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: some research because again, watching him play has been infuriating

514
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: to me recently. And James, you said it best on

515
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: the text. I know you're mad when you start looking

516
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: you up stats, and boy did I get some stats

517
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: for you. But I'm gonna come out of this positive.

518
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: This is where the spin zone is gonna come for Viento's.

519
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: So in baseball, for guys who swing the bad as

520
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: slow as he does, there's almost nobody that swings and

521
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: misses as much as he does as well. Guys who

522
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: swing this slow usually make elite levels of contact. They

523
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: don't hit the ball well, they don't make a league contact,

524
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: but they put the ball and play consistently, Mark Fiento's

525
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: sayes not now that being said, these three games against

526
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: the Angels, Mark Viento's hit the ball hard a couple times.

527
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, barreled up a couple of baseballs before he

528
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: came out of the game. Took some good swings in

529
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: the first two games as well when he got the opportunity.

530
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: And if you look at the eggs of velos plus

531
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: his swing speed, the swing speed was like seventy six

532
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: to seventy seven at times, which is six seven miles

533
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: per hour higher than it currently is. If there was

534
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: ever anything that we needed to know about Mark Viento's

535
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: and his success, he needs to swing the bat harder.

536
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: The whiffs are fine if you're taking big hacks, but

537
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: you can't be looking to hit ground balls like he

538
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: did on that double play. Took a six sixty five

539
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: mile an hour swing. That's one of the slowest swings

540
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. Hit a double play on an

541
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: OH one pitch. Swing the bat hard. Don't get cheated.

542
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: Mark, even on that sixty six mile an hour swing

543
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: for that double play that completely zapot what was about

544
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: to be a rally, still hit the ball ninety eight

545
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: miles an hour. We still believe in Mark Fiento's just

546
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: the bat on this show, like we still believe that

547
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: Mark Fiento's can be a good hitter. I think he's

548
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: still inside too strong.

549
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: Like the eggs of Villos last year were great, he

550
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: had a ball won thirteen last year. In twenty twenty three,

551
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: he had a ball one fourteen point nine. Like those

552
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: are top top level exs of velos. He just actually

553
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: has to go up there, and truthfully, I think, say

554
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: fuck the swing and miss. Who cares when the pitch

555
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: is in the zone. I'm gonna absolutely crush it.

556
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: You'll love this. Mark Vanto's hardest swing this season, it

557
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: was actually against the Blue Jays back in April eighty

558
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 2: five point nine miles an hour, and there's only swing

559
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: this year over eighty five miles per hour. It was

560
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: a swinging mists strikeout. Sure, of course you're gonna when

561
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 2: you swing hard, you do swing, you miss a lot.

562
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: That is a big thing that happens.

563
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: Your bat's in the zone for less time, so you're

564
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: less likely to make consistent contact in terms of putting

565
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: the ball in play.

566
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: But when you hit the baseball, it's hit harder.

567
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: And I think for Viento's, who's striking out at the

568
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: bottom third of the league right now, he doesn't walk,

569
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: he's already swing and missing. Why not go up there

570
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: and not get cheated? Man, That's my entire thing with Viento's,

571
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: and it feels like he's always been.

572
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: Don't get cheated. That kind of should be the whole thing,

573
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: especially Mark Vindo's and last year just quickly doing like

574
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: a rough search of the swing speeds from last season,

575
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: there was a much higher gradient of those swing speeds

576
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: above seventy five miles an now, which I believe is

577
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: the line that costUS a fast wing on baseball savan

578
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: Soo just kind of comes down to that, like him

579
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: actually being able to swing the the bat hard. But

580
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: I also think part of these whole things is because batspeed.

581
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 2: We've talked about batsbe a lot, like since we've gotten

582
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: this data from Baseball, Savann has really been like the

583
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: most important I think siteline into hitting that we've had

584
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: as I don't know, content creators analysts over the last

585
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: couple of years. Yeah, part of that definitely comes from

586
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: the counts you're getting in the confidence you have. Like

587
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: I talked about Hayesu Sagez in my last YouTube video

588
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: this week about hitters, I think you're gonna break out

589
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: in second half. He this year has always had amazing speed,

590
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 2: but this year he's just pushed it up even a

591
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: little bit. But it hasn't been it's been pushed up

592
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: at the same time that he's drawn more walks, He's

593
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: struck out less often, he stops swinging and missing at

594
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 2: breaking balls, he's behind in the count less often. I

595
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: think that's also part of the thing with Vento's the

596
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: whole thing that was working against Baby earlier in the season,

597
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: like the bat speed. And also you know from playing baseball,

598
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 2: you can only take those war hacks when it's time

599
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: to take those war recks. That's the whole point of it.

600
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: You can't take a war hack like that and o

601
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: two pitch because or you should do like Mark Ventos

602
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: is gonna look like an idiot at the time. So

603
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: like it's all about getting in situations. And what made

604
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: Viento so good last year was winning that cat mask

605
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: game so often, which is why I felt some confidence

606
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: in him in that series against the Orrols. It felt

607
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: like he was back doing that cat and mouse thing.

608
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: But it's just it's it's so much it's also interconnected

609
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 2: with him. It's very hard for seeing breaking out of it.

610
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: Because again, when he had those two today in the

611
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: game on on Wednesday, I'm trying to find the count

612
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: right now, I can't find him, but that double pretty

613
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: sure he was ahead of the count in that double.

614
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: The lineup that he hit him, I'm not positive, but

615
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: it's just he has to it all comes together he

616
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 2: can't just go up there being like I'm gonna swing

617
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: as har as a cant every single pitch. He should

618
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 2: a little bit, but also like he needs to he

619
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: needs to have the building blocks and get the foundation

620
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: to give himself the chance to swing super hard. Again,

621
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: are you saying that Mark Piano doesn't really have much

622
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: of an approach? Yeah, I am, Oh, I remember remember

623
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: what I said last I never talked about Mark Vant's

624
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: last episode, you were talking about the best heads. I

625
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 2: actually said specifically, don't cast't don't cast Marks Viento's onto

626
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: my takes. Also, I'm sorry you guys saw that I

627
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: was a shave As defender last episode. I was more

628
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 2: just a I was more anti Mark than pro Shavas

629
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: by a lot. That was kind of the whole Crux.

630
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: Listened to an hour episode of just two of me,

631
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: like that would be insane.

632
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: Someone's got it gotta be a little y in the gang.

633
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of the whole point. That's the beauty

634
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 2: of the show. But just moving on because we've done

635
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: what basically only one game in thirty minutes here, like

636
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: the other ones are.

637
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: Not nearly as interesting. I feel like because that kind

638
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: of got things going.

639
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: I think Tuesday's game has been interesting, but for both

640
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: some good and bad reasons. Just starting with some good,

641
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: I think it's a real good time to start gaining

642
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: a bit of confidence in Frankie Mantas. I think there

643
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: was a lot of fear for I think even I'm

644
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: sad that I felt by the wayside a little bit.

645
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 2: One of the number one Frankie Mantas defenders on the

646
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: internet over the last few years before he was ever

647
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 2: even close to being a met But even after a

648
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: bad first two winnings with the Angels were just spraying

649
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: the ball over the field, putting guys on base left

650
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: and right. Again, he settles in. We got Frankie fastballs

651
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: leading with that sinker, but not so much Frankie fastballs

652
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: in this one because he went away from that four seamer,

653
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: and this was the first start. I feel like he

654
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: felt very confident in his splither, his slither, and his sweeper.

655
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: Maybe the second or third one with a sweeper, but

656
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: just those two sliders specifically, he did a great job

657
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: of using them because hitters from both sides of the

658
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: plate that slither too, specifically the one that's like a

659
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 2: little bit tighter. He put one or two of them

660
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: on the back feet of the Angels lefties. He was

661
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: dropping a couple of those backdoor sweepers. But the Angels

662
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: aren't like a talent that they're They're cunning enough team

663
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: to be no to be like platooning guys, so they

664
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 2: know they can't they can't load up a line up

665
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: with lefties against a guy like Frankie Montsis, who definitely

666
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: rather face righty's. But those sliders were just he was on.

667
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 2: He was nailing that low and away spot over and

668
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 2: over and over and over again while he was jamming

669
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: that sinker in on the righty's hands, so they're both

670
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: looking like they're gonna be right down the middle pitches.

671
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: Sicker comes into the hands, the slider ducks just below

672
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: the plate like it was a It was the best

673
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: execution of those two pitches. I think we've seen him happen.

674
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: I think it was because he got to get into

675
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: groove because the Angels didn't play enough lefties against him.

676
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the fact that, like I mean, the the

677
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: one mistake pitch was the Horae solaire when he hit

678
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: that absolute missile the left field, which also crazy the

679
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: Angels actively chose to trade Griffin Canning for him and

680
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: his contract and then don't.

681
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: Play Jorge Solaire every day is also nuts. Well, I

682
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: mean I think that, I mean Mike Truck getting hurt

683
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: again then being like yourhm every single day. I think

684
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: that that foresight.

685
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, play him in right field, though, I mean shit

686
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: like Chris Taylor Lamont Wade.

687
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: Come on, I mean, did you see the play Solaira

688
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: made on Wednesday when he just lollygags that Brett Baby

689
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: single that was left that looked like it was hitting

690
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 2: to him and he let it drop and then he

691
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 2: left the game the next inning with back tightness, which

692
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: I'm sure he did have back tights, but also it

693
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 2: was like, I just now I know why you can

694
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: never use this guy in the outfield, but that guy's

695
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: got to always be tight tight. Got another great note

696
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 2: from a guy, rob friend of the friend of the program,

697
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: Phil Union County Fellow. You remember that adding a few

698
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: few times a few starts ago, everyone was like, frank

699
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: would Frankie mont To say was tipping his pitches? And

700
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: they solve that. Yes, if you take that away where

701
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: he gave up six runs on six hits with one

702
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: walk in those first two winnings. Outside of that, Montes

703
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: has a two seven y r RA with a one

704
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 2: one whip over twenty three innings. Dare I say it?

705
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: I won't.

706
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: I won't just say yeah, but boy, oh boy, Frankie

707
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: Montes has look getting pretty pretty okay, I'll at least

708
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: say that.

709
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: And the Mets I think a lot of shit earlier

710
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: this season because our pitching was just kind of we

711
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: were we were pitching well, we kind of knew we

712
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: were treading water the whole time with this rotation, and

713
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 2: hay Seuss Lazardo on the Phillies was just ripping left

714
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 2: and right, and a lot of people were pissed that

715
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: they got him for Starlin Cabba, who for all intents

716
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: and purposes, looks like not a very good baseball player

717
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: someone I'd be shocked if they ever have ninety five

718
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: w RC plus with major League vel and any individual season.

719
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: Now was the r's about five, and now we got

720
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: we got Frankie Montays, we got a good half season

721
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: from Griffin Canning like it does. So it's pitching like shit,

722
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 2: it's always I we got to just preach patience with

723
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: David Seerns because he just knows things that we don't.

724
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: It's always it's something to trust. That being said, For

725
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: some reason this game, Ryan Standick got the second save

726
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: opportunity in three days.

727
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even really understand how that can possibly happen.

728
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: I don't neither. Was daleg a situation did get through

729
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: it after just a lot of chaos and nonsense, got

730
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: another splitther Wiff. We're stacking up like one splither Withiff Sunday.

731
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: I'll actually know if he got one in this game.

732
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: But we're stacking up, you know, single digits splither with

733
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: as much as much as we can get them, as

734
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: much as we keep going. But this still kind of

735
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: brings us back to the trade deadline, as kind of

736
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: most discussions leads back to at this point. David certain

737
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: Sits some media availability on Monday before the series began.

738
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: Credit to him for going in front of MIC at

739
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: a time when the reporters and the fans were ravenous

740
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: with anger, and he basically said just contritely like we're

741
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: looking to add multiple relievers as bopen, like we know

742
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: it's a problem we're going to add, and kind of

743
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: insinuating that they're more likely to add volume relievers than

744
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: like the hammer reliever over the top.

745
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 1: But also we got some news today as well that

746
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: the Mets have been involved in trade talks, possibly with

747
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: Dylan Cease and the Padres because apparently Ceases on the move.

748
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: The Padres are looking to move Cease because he has

749
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: the expiring contract, to try and get back more major

750
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: league caliber players to fill out the roster because it

751
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: is a very shallow roster. There's like, similarly to the Angels,

752
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: like seven or eight major League Baseball players on that team.

753
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: I'm mean ask you guys if you guys have ever

754
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: seen like the meme that's just been around forever where

755
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: it's like the really the really nice horse drawing with

756
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: like where the back of the horse is like shaded

757
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: and lovely colorful. How you're gonna talk Bugatti in the

758
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: fucking like, Oh no, but this is one and it's

759
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: the front of the horse. In the back of the

760
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: horse is not true. I think the back of the

761
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: horse looks really nice. In front of the horse's a

762
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: stick figure. That's the Padres's. Yeah, So they're looking at

763
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: trade Dylan Seas. Apparently Mets are checking in. What do

764
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: you think about Dylan Seas in out what do you want?

765
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: Could not be more in I'm remarkably on Dylan SE's.

766
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: I think he's been truthfully, like one of the unluckiest

767
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: pitchers in all of baseball this season, Like he's having

768
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: a disaster season that I don't think he's deserved any way,

769
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: and I would be I would be the front line

770
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: to trade for him. I do think he's a strange

771
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: trade asset because in trading for Dylan Sees, you kind

772
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: of have to decide in the moment what you think

773
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: of Dylan season, whether or not you'd even off from

774
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: the contract extension you think he'd want, because you're giving

775
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: up pieces to get a couple of months of Dylan Ce's.

776
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: You'd have to do that with that concept that you

777
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: would be willing to drop down the money to sign

778
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: them afterwards.

779
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: Yes, and the fact that I think because of what

780
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: the Padres are looking for, it would involve moving one

781
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: of the group Maia Vento's baby Mauricio Kunya. And then

782
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: if it's a kun You or Ventos, you're probably moving

783
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: some prospects maybe as well, maybe like a Drew Gilbert

784
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: and some other guys where if you trader Mauricio, it

785
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: might be a little bit less on the other side

786
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: of things, might just be.

787
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: Mauricio, but also I mean maybe Murcio and the lower

788
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: level prospect or again, like if it could be Vento's

789
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: in any basically any prospect that's not Tongra, McLain or

790
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: bench or jet, I would I would probably do that

791
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: even just even without resigning him, just because the fact

792
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: if you get Dylan Ceese now significantly more confident what

793
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: the team could do to get to the playoffs and

794
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: in the series themselves. But I I'm very in onn Cease.

795
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't give a fuck about that era

796
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 2: Like I can't. I can't. He's still striking all the

797
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: guys out the loss these good and swings and missuses

798
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: and there it's not that many walks. He's given up

799
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: three home runs this year that are three hundred and

800
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: fifty five feet or fewer most of the league. That's crazy.

801
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: That's short and six or seven. I just put in

802
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: YouTube vide it's gonna come out tomorrow that we're three

803
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five feet of fewer, which is third

804
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: most in the league behind Biby and pet Bio. He's

805
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: just there's been a couple of hilarious walls scrapers on him,

806
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: like the fourth, fifth or six innings. I've I've watched

807
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: way too many Padres games. I'm just like, I know

808
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 2: this guy has in him. I'm ready, I'm ready to

809
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: ride with him.

810
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that that rumor came out today, So that's

811
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye out for. But I do

812
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: think David Serns is, like you said, volume over necessarily

813
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: name and big hammer.

814
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: Which I think is fine honestly based on what this

815
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: bullpen needs because we have big hammers. Edmond Diaz, like

816
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: I understand, I would like second hammer, like nails. Two

817
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: hammers are better than one hammer, of course in this situation.

818
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: But I just think that, Yeah, the price for Bednar

819
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 2: just seems like it's probably more than the Mets want

820
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: to pay. Class A Donald think is going to be

821
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: on the move. Then if you can get Bednar and

822
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: Dennis Santana swoop in one deal, maybe that's the one

823
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 2: that makes sense. If you give him like Ewing or

824
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 2: like Bednarl. Ferguson is that Yeah, that's probably because I

825
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: think they I think he did say specifically Sterns that

826
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: they want a lefty. But and we know they're checking

827
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: out your boy Danny Kulam. They're checking out boy, who

828
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: I mean, who is in checking out my boy Danny koulamb.

829
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: Every single boat, every single bullpen could use a Daniy

830
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: Koulahm and like, give me Daniy Koulaman and but they

831
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: traded like Louis Varland or Cole Sands and those guys

832
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: have more team control. Griffin Jack's probably a little too

833
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: expensive and also hasn't been great this season. After I

834
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: made way too big of a trade for him at

835
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: Dynasty League, I was really dumb, not even gonna tell

836
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: you who I traded. Partly, uh, it was May. I

837
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: really needed the reliever I was trying to get out

838
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: from Zach Effland. A reliever. It's the only category in

839
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: Badness League. It's a categories. League's the only one. I

840
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: was losing with Safs and Holtz and I I I

841
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: traded Henri Suarez and I got but I got back

842
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: carry Carpenter. I was like, you know what, at the

843
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: end of the day, I had third base depth. Carpenter

844
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: and Suarez probably watched the rest of the season. Boy,

845
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: was that fucking stupid? What are you gonna do there,

846
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: so maybe the mess don't make that same mistake. But

847
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: we also got some news in a great article this

848
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: week by Tim Britton and Will Salmon tag team in

849
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: it just kind of a run through of everything that

850
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: Mets are thinking right now, and there's a great section

851
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: at the end about Mets trade chips. We've talked to

852
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: a lot in the last few years, and I Mes

853
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: just didn't have any trade chips. We had some really

854
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: good prospects we didn't want to trade, and then a

855
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: bud just fifty layers of dirt. Now two guys specifically

856
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: are generating tons of buzz, and that's Jacob Rimer we've

857
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: talked about a couple of times in the show. Just

858
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: jumped into the top one hundred list of Baseball perspectives

859
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 2: and aj ewing, someone that we've liked a lot, showing

860
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 2: that out of high school that he can be looks

861
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 2: like he's tracking to be a major league center fielder,

862
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 2: and it's just stupid. Athletic has like fifty stone basis

863
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: with the cyclones, those are definitely the chips that you

864
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: move this time of year. Those guys, so also the

865
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: pitchers that we've talked about, like Santucci and some of

866
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: the other guys in a double A staff are still

867
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: like two or three cents away from the majors. Yeah,

868
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 2: Wendery even might be like they might love one Dury

869
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: at this point.

870
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: He's like Loki got like, I think the second best

871
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: kide walk ratio in double A baseball right now, He's

872
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: got like a thirty behind time yeah, and like a

873
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: three percent walk right He's kind of he's kind of

874
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: like Loki getting overshadowed by Don totally.

875
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: And he's the kind of prospect we love because he

876
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: was like he was a cold he was a cold

877
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 2: school guy who's also like a command fastball change up dude.

878
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: And now we've added a sinker sweeper, like I think

879
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: a sacred sweeper, pretty sure Siker sweeper onto everything else.

880
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: And he's just striking out the world. So he's he's

881
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 2: someone who even might be elevating himself past like these

882
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: kind of reliever chips that we're talking about. But the

883
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: Mets have guys to trade. It is a good time

884
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: to push chips in with relativity. Also, just because I'm

885
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: officially I'm staying the stamp right now, I want to

886
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: do another trade down episode this week. Now it's just

887
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 2: becoming another Monster episode. I want Louis Robert. Yeah, of

888
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: course I want him too. I never I never stopped

889
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: wanting Louis hundred want Louis Robert. He's the perfect player

890
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: to kick into this team. He had such a great element.

891
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: Love at first sight when I saw him. I saw

892
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: him come up for the White Sox. Guy's gotta be

893
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: a met someday.

894
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: We need the center fielder badly. Like getting Louise Robert

895
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 2: another and two relievers. I would then feel like good

896
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: about running through the second half of the season.

897
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: I also love the idea of like having Robert around

898
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: Soto and starling Marte, which also shout out for Marte.

899
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: Bad Jackla looked looked pretty good.

900
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's got the Chancola instead of the OMG

901
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: sign and whatever else they were rocking this year have

902
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: now got a massive flip flop, which is also kind

903
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: of sick. Marte vibes. Guy brought the vibes and also

904
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: had a good game in his return. I mean, I

905
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: didn't think I'd be saying it this year, but I

906
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: missed starling Mart's bat specifically because it means that Mark

907
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: Viianzo doesn't have to DH every single day. Yeah, and

908
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: I mean he's just if he's hitting, it's great. Like

909
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: our issue with Charlie Martes, we didn't think he'd be

910
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: able to come back and hit. He's come back and hit,

911
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: so everything is perfect. I mean, in in an erarow

912
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: where no one has.

913
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: A high batting average, Darling Martes two seventy five batting

914
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: average not batting average show sevent fifty oh ps. But

915
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 2: it's like nice, So yeah, the ops is great out

916
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 2: of it. It's awesome. It's a that's above league average

917
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 2: hitre and he's not stealing bases, can't play defense. It's

918
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: still a tough roster spot, especially when you have Mark

919
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 2: Fiantroz on the roster as well. But for what this

920
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: team needs, Starling Marte is kind of like the uncle.

921
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: It's perfect. Oh, he's the great he is. He's he's

922
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 2: the J. D. Martinez this year. He's just Latino. So

923
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: that's yeah exactly. I mean J. J. Martin is notice and.

924
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: Martinez is Latino, but like Dominican, so I think I

925
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's a little different Latino.

926
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 2: And again with this team need a gimmicks. This team

927
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: thrives on gimmicks. So now we have the Chacola and

928
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 2: now we've also had the the Pablo Sanchez Era for

929
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 2: known the Pablo Sanchez Era. Great week to bring a

930
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: couple of new gimmicks into the fold because we were

931
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: gimmick list. Now we have two new gimmicks. Is a

932
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: good there's a good time for us to start rolling.

933
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: Oh, work loves some gimmicks, love some gimmick. All right,

934
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:13,959
Speaker 1: let's talk about game three.

935
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: Final thing.

936
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: We talked about Alva his home run. How awesome that

937
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: swing was totally back gave us goose bumps. Right, do

938
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: we mention that, Yeah it was game one, but sure

939
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: the no, the home run was game two.

940
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: Oh the home runs game two. Yeah, we talked about that,

941
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 2: and then again talking about mantas ricou Garcia's back. Long

942
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: national nightmare is over. Ryan Standick secured the save. Everything

943
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: worked out perfectly. But yeah, game three, more more goodness

944
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: out of Sean and Iya. I think that now this

945
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: is probably the last or second last start I think

946
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: with the with the training wheels on, and then we'll

947
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: be able to keep moving on from there. Because he

948
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: got through five and eighty two pitches. Luka doing it

949
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,959
Speaker 2: two hits again. The guy just doesn't give up hits.

950
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 2: But every he does give up hits, it's right handed

951
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: hitters hitting other Opposa field home runs. That seems to

952
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 2: be Now I was sick. Yeah, it's it's cool to

953
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: see that he still got that. Yeah, it's also was

954
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: he cool to see to him just like Lumber around

955
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: the bas It's like nothing happened. But that was a

956
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: really tough pitch to day and Trapp putting that out.

957
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: It's a good it's a good tip the cap for

958
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: one of the most forgettable players this era of baseball,

959
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,479
Speaker 2: in the history of the game. But nice and again,

960
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: finally for Cisco, Lindor gets going. Thank god he finally

961
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: got a hit because he was pushing Ray Ardonius for

962
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: the longest overstreaking Mets history.

963
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: Couldn't have that record, though he has got to over

964
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: thirty five. I believe Lindor got to over thirty or

965
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: thirty one.

966
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: Disaster ops got to seven forties. Very very ugly, but

967
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: Brandim moo Leo homework, great game. Pi Alonzo hit the

968
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: longest home run I think I've seen anyone that Mets

969
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 2: hit his entire season. We talked a little bit about

970
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: vantos before a lot of hard hit balls. Bludo came back,

971
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,959
Speaker 2: looked Rusty Brooks. Raley came in, looked okay with help

972
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 2: edwind Dis came in, got out of it also with hell.

973
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: Nice game, yeah, just just just a little bit of

974
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: Luis Rendhifo who struck out on six balls.

975
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: I've never seen that before.

976
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: Also, they had a hot mic it seemed like on

977
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: the home play umpire on us and why oh yeah.

978
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: And when he threw out the third and fourth coach

979
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: for the Angels in that game, it was absolutely electrous.

980
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: Do you want to go to You're gonna step on

981
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: the field, see you, you're out of here. They were

982
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: right though those calls were horrible.

983
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: There was a freeze frame that other guy Ultro Met

984
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: for Life put around Twitter with Montgomery just given the

985
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: finger to the umpire. Oh so good. And also that

986
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 2: was a great moment you just get wrong, like just

987
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: start getting thrown out because those were again peel back

988
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 2: to the curtain, complete bullshit calls. Those calls. If those

989
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: happened against the Mets' I'd be at rob Manferd's office

990
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning in Midtown, like there'd be nothing stopping for

991
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: game I'd be there seven amps. We can get back

992
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: to the Murphy interview, but it's just that was a

993
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: I would feel bad losing like that because it was

994
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: multiple pitches in the same spot, none of which being strikes.

995
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 2: Credit for Edwin Diaz for taking advantage of that spot

996
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 2: that was being called. But at the same time, Rennie

997
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 2: fo for sure got host. Yeah, absolutely host.

998
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: Okay, So the last thing I want to talk about

999
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: with this game and everything is we've seen Lindor and

1000
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: Alonso have been struggling. You know me, I'm obsessed with

1001
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: baseball savan. I love looking at where these guys are standing,

1002
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: and specifically Pete Alonzo and Francisco Lindor are doing things

1003
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: they've never done in their career before, things that they

1004
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing.

1005
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo's pull will rate has dropped a ton.

1006
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: Obviously, he's not the ball as well as he did

1007
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, and I really think

1008
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: a big reason and you've noticed it feels like Pete's

1009
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: getting jammed a little bit. It feels like Lindor's been

1010
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: getting jammed a lot over that thirty stretch even today,

1011
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: like one of his hits he got like a broken

1012
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: bat single barely over the shortstop's head. These guys are

1013
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: standing closer to the plate than they have. Pete's a

1014
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: full inch inch and a half closer than he's been

1015
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: all year in the last month, and he's almost three

1016
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: and a half inches back further in the box than

1017
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: he was, which doesn't sound like the biggest of deals,

1018
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: but in baseball, every single inch matters, and that ball

1019
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: breaking a little bit deeper, Pete's hitting the ball a

1020
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: little bit deeper. I think that's a big reason why

1021
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: he's not squaring up the baseball. And the thing that

1022
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: really shocks me the most about Pete is that this

1023
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,479
Speaker 1: year something that we talked about that he was doing

1024
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: more this year wasn't doing last year, hitting the ball

1025
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: out in front, pulling the baseball. What do you know,

1026
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: When he was pulling the baseball in the air, Pete

1027
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: Alonso was having one of the best seasons of his

1028
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: entire career. He stopped doing that. He's letting the ball

1029
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: get deeper right now. At the beginning of the year,

1030
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: he was averaging about six inches off the front of

1031
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 1: the plate when he was intercepting the baseball making contact.

1032
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: Right now, it's zero point four.

1033
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: That is a six inch difference of where he was

1034
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: making contact with the baseball, and you could say, sure,

1035
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: he moved back three inches, it's only a three inch difference.

1036
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: You look at the intercept point versus center of mass

1037
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: two that's also dropped as well, which should still stay

1038
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: relatively even. Pete letting the ball get way too deep,

1039
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 1: and similarly Francisco Indoor, the ball's getting deep, he's lunging,

1040
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,479
Speaker 1: he's jamming himself because he's way closer to the plate

1041
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: than he has been all year. These are little things

1042
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: that make me lose faith in what's going on at times,

1043
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: more so with the coaching staff because I can't I

1044
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: can't see this and they can't see it.

1045
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: That can't be possible. And also when we're talking about

1046
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: this a little bit off air, I was like, hmm,

1047
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 2: he's probably pitched differently as well, and looking at pe

1048
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 2: Alonso's pitch percentage by month, he's seen way more fastballs

1049
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 2: since since the beginning of June. Danged early in the

1050
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: season should.

1051
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: Be a great thing for a guy like Pete Alonso.

1052
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso should.

1053
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: Be like more fastballs, are you serious? And he can't

1054
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: touch them because Pete. Pete's best pitches to hit are

1055
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: those low breaking balls, like that's what he does. I

1056
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 2: don't remember the pitch he hit out on Wednesday, but

1057
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 2: I know it was low. It was a knee high pitch.

1058
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 2: I remember if it was a breaking ball at fastball.

1059
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: But as he's seen more fastballs, his poll rate on

1060
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: the fastballs has dropped as well. Through April and May,

1061
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: the Pole Radios fastball is about forty percent. June July

1062
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: the Pole Radios fastball is about twenty nine percent. So bad.

1063
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: That's a big drop. And also in May this is

1064
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 2: probably little. Again, these samples for these per month battered

1065
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 2: ball stuff is a little they're a little funky because

1066
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: you're not going to put the requisite sixty eighty one

1067
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: hundred balls in play to make them stable. But this

1068
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: is the best we have. In May, this is a

1069
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 2: crazy number pull raid on breaking balls with sixty five

1070
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 2: percent in June thirty five percent. Big drop as he

1071
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,959
Speaker 2: has seen significantly less breaking balls, that is the pitch

1072
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: that he's seen less often exchange for the more fastballs

1073
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: again with the more so actually it's more change ups.

1074
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 2: That's kind of weird thing. But I can't change up

1075
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: such a low it's such a low sample, I want

1076
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: to consider it. But again, fifty two percent fastballs to

1077
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: sixty percent fastballs, that's the difference between May and June

1078
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 2: for Pee a lonzo. So I think that ers are

1079
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: trying to crowd him and blow past him a little

1080
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 2: bit more off and then give him those breaking balls.

1081
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: He has a chance to golf. It's a real shame.

1082
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: I thought, that's we're gonna be able to give Pete

1083
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: that bag, but he keeps hitting it like this, And.

1084
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 2: Go back to your hit at the beginning of the year, dude.

1085
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: We know that Peak gets obsessed with batting average at

1086
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: the times, which is infuriating because we know that's not

1087
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: the best version of Pete Alonso. If he's pulling the

1088
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: baseball and hitting it hard like he was at the

1089
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, he's gonna stumble into a two

1090
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: seventy average with forty five home runs.

1091
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: That's that's what's gonna get you paid, Pete.

1092
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: No one cares if you hit two ninety with thirty

1093
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 1: that's not nearly as cool as two seventy with forty five.

1094
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 2: And now what's really going to happen. He probably just

1095
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: stumbles into thirty five, two sixty, and that it probably

1096
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 2: just winds.

1097
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: Up with picking up the option and then the best

1098
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: and then he does the same thing again and then

1099
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: you go, Okay, Pete, So remember how we were offering

1100
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 1: you twenty million dollars a year. That's still the offer

1101
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: and that's the best you're gonna get.

1102
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 2: What do you do?

1103
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 5: Pe?

1104
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: A ouncers winds up signing one to two year deals

1105
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: for the next seven years to remain a Met. Oh no,

1106
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: I'm cool with it. I'd be terrible. I'd it's christy.

1107
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: I think everybody wins in nes scenario. But it's just

1108
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: he Peak gets a little les scurators. I want pe

1109
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: to get a security but it just does seem like

1110
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: that's the outcome that we're going towards here after He's

1111
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: really cooled off so much since the end of May.

1112
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: I mean I put out that tweet.

1113
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: There's like three guys with an OPS above seven hundred

1114
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: for the Mets. It's Baby, it was Soto and it

1115
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: was Nemo. Everybody else was well below, and Alonso was

1116
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: at like six forty, which is pretty unacceptable.

1117
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 2: And again, while this is all happening, I know June

1118
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 2: was a bad month. We all know that, but now

1119
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: we're four games over five hundred or ten six the

1120
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 2: month of July, we have this west coast trip coming up.

1121
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 2: That's going to be pretty important part of our schedule,

1122
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,479
Speaker 2: just because as we fight through the end of this year,

1123
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 2: the Giants and the Padres are two teams that we're

1124
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 2: directly fighting with four playoff spots, and those are two

1125
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 2: teams that we we played. We have not played yet

1126
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 2: this season, so we're seeing a couple of teams for

1127
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 2: the first time, teams with some good rotations, Teams that

1128
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: are hushoul we described them again, good baseball teams. The

1129
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: good baseball teams do a lot of things well, also

1130
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: have some holes, but they are very style baseball teams

1131
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: that you have to beat if you think you deserve

1132
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: to be in the playoff field. Yeah, they're they're very

1133
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: much compete for the wild guard.

1134
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: I think the Mets are a better team than them,

1135
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that that t is bad by

1136
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: any means, Like I treat them with respect. Where when

1137
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: we play the Angels or teams like that, I'm like,

1138
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: come on, guys, like we got.

1139
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: We gotta beat this team. We gotta beat the shit

1140
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 2: out of them.

1141
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 1: With the Padres and Giants good baseball, we should still

1142
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: come out on top in my opinion.

1143
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 2: But they're gonna play good baseball. This team is.

1144
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: They're both very much in the playoff picture, and they

1145
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: make some big moves that can be even more in

1146
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: that playoff picture, which maybe they will.

1147
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 2: And now before we do get into that preview of

1148
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: the Giants series coming up this weekend, it's a great

1149
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: time for our Draft Kings player spotlight heading out west,

1150
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 2: going to face the Giants. I love David Peterson this

1151
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 2: weekend against the Giants. The Giants are a team that's

1152
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 2: notoriously poor against left handed pitching. Second lowest woe and

1153
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 2: all baseball against leftis. They have a very good lineup.

1154
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 2: They have an okay lineup, but they have a lineu

1155
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 2: where their best hit of Rafael Devers is a lefty.

1156
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 2: I like Peterson to go out West, the guy who's

1157
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 2: been the most steady, the most stable, the most reliable,

1158
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 2: the most consistent pitcher in our rotation this year, pitching

1159
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: on a nice Saturday evening game, a Saturday nine oh five,

1160
00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: great game to watch for all of us out there

1161
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: Saturday night. Have a nice night in the town David

1162
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: on the west coast. I'll be in Portland. I'll be good.

1163
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 2: You'll be on the west coast. But it's a little

1164
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: bit an ASoft. But David Peace and versus Robbie Ray,

1165
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: and I like the number we're gonna see the David Peace.

1166
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's going to be five and a half

1167
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 2: or six and a half strikeouts. I'm leaning to and

1168
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,959
Speaker 2: over and I'm leaning to whatever over the total outs

1169
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 2: called they'll give him to you some a bitch.

1170
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: That's where I was going. I say, was going to

1171
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 1: be the over on outs for David Peterson. I'm assuming

1172
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like eighteen and a half. They're gonna be.

1173
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 2: Like, ay, seventy and a half. I was gonna get Yeah.

1174
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: But I do think like the David Peterson that we've seen.

1175
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: We know that he is kind of the workhorse right

1176
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: now of this rotation, and they do need him to

1177
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: go deeper into these games, and we see that he

1178
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: will sacrifice sometimes the strikeout stuff to be able to

1179
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: induce contact and get the through the innings faster. I

1180
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: love that one. I'm all over Peterson over his outs.

1181
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: In this appearance again, the Giants don't hit left handed

1182
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: pitching well, and Oracle statistically is a really tough park

1183
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: to hit it.

1184
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: You just don't score too much.

1185
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: The one spot where you can get away with his

1186
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: dead center field, where it's like three night, I think

1187
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: to dead center the shortest in all of Major League Baseball.

1188
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: It's a very weird design where it used to be

1189
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: so deep. Still have triples alley. But hitting the ball,

1190
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: as we know from watching the Brooklyn Cyclones, onto the ocean,

1191
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: onto the water, onto the bay, it's never a good

1192
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: thing if you're a hitter. Also, that's what makes Barry

1193
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: Bonds even crazier than he did it during that Yeah.

1194
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 2: It's kind of incomprehensible. Think back, look at Barry Bonds

1195
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: just has the celebration of playing giants so weak, and

1196
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: everyone's just pull up the Barry Bonds Baseball reference page

1197
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: just just for fun. It's a lot of fun.

1227
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: like the coldest winter of my life was a summer

1228
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. It's just it's a very bizarre place

1229
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 2: where it's just it's it's hard to it's hard to

1230
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: figure what the weather's going to be there. But so

1231
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 2: I told you guys, with David Peterson versus Robby Ray

1232
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 2: on Saturday and Sunday Night baseball, we're gonna have code

1233
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 2: in the mount. Giants don't have a pitcher as of

1234
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: right now. I know that there. I think Verlainder pitch

1235
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 2: today and he won. So I guess they have a

1236
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 2: game tomorrow and that's going to be Land and Rup.

1237
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 2: So I do guess they actually don't have a fifth

1238
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: guy in their rotation right now coming out of the

1239
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 2: also breaks. If I had to guess, that could be

1240
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 2: Carson Seymour, that could be Sean Jelly or met Carson

1241
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 2: Seymour former met Carson Seymour made all the way to

1242
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 2: the show. Maybe that could be the major league debut

1243
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 2: of Carson Wizen Hunts. Maybe Kate Keaton Winn, who's early

1244
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 2: on the forty main roster, gets called up for that.

1245
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: That was Hayden Burns song Spot, who they just sent

1246
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 2: down to the minor league. So the Giants team is

1247
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: a good team. They got hot at the beginning of

1248
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 2: the year, and they've been kind of cold since the

1249
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 2: middle since the Rafaeld devonstrate, which is kind of funny

1250
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: how that works out. They've been hot though this last

1251
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 2: three days. They're swinging to good bats right now, especially covers. Well,

1252
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they crush the Braves. The Braves have minor

1253
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 2: league pitchers left and right. So I don't know if

1254
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 2: that really canning this year, huh, because it really is

1255
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 2: Griffin Canning this year. But they are The Giants are

1256
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 2: a good, sturdy baseball team. Like they're a team that

1257
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: I would say from watching a good bit of them

1258
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 2: this season, plays good baseball. Also, we have a couple

1259
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 2: of former Mets that were fan favorites on this Giant team.

1260
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 2: I'm sure we're gonna have a lot of content about

1261
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: in the next few days. First off, of course, Wilma flores

1262
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: blazing starts of the season really came back crashing down

1263
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: the earth of late at the just and he's still

1264
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 2: good hit with Wilma Flores. Also, Dom Smith is getting

1265
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: regular reps in this Giant team is actually about to

1266
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: lose this spot because Raffield Davis has finally started to

1267
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,959
Speaker 2: play first base. But Dom Smith has played legitimate amount

1268
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 2: of first base for the Giants the season. Also, he

1269
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: started the years old now, which makes me want to cry.

1270
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: That would hurts Tom Smith being thirty years old. Some

1271
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 1: other guys on this team to look out for. Willia

1272
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: Damez has had a slow start to the season, but

1273
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: he's been unbelievably hot recently. I think he's hit six

1274
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: or seven home runs in the month of July, which

1275
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: is crazy. Matt Chapman stut at third base, hitting the

1276
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: ball hard as he always does. Elliott Ramos is a

1277
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: legitimate power threat. This team is weird for sure, especially offensively.

1278
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: Having Rafael Devers does help a lot. The one thing

1279
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: about the team that you gotta be careful about. You

1280
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: can't let them get an early lead. You can't let

1281
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: them get to that bullpen with a lead, because that

1282
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: bullpen is absolutely fucking dynamite right now.

1283
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 2: The funny thing about this Giants team can clearly see

1284
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 2: that half it was built by Faran Zaiedy, who's like

1285
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,439
Speaker 2: the analytics mastermind, and the other half it was built

1286
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 2: by Buster Posey, who's just like, put bat in hand,

1287
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 2: hit baffar Like it's a great It's I don't see

1288
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 2: a great blend. I feel like I kind of love

1289
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 2: that conceptually where it's like you get some guys who

1290
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: are like, we're here for the analytics, you get some

1291
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 2: guys that are here for the vibes. Because it kind

1292
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 2: of then makes with a baseball team kind of is

1293
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 2: you should feel like, but that bullpen is discussing. For

1294
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 2: the Giants, Ryan Walker came into the year as their closer.

1295
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 2: He was kind of like a buzzy closer heading into

1296
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 2: the year after a really good end of the season

1297
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 2: last year. He sucked. Kind of hates sinker, You mean

1298
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 2: you kind of hate side arming sinker closers who drew

1299
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 2: ninety four miles an hour. That's what Walker is. But

1300
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 2: Kimillo d'aval the Demon, has taken that closer's role back.

1301
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 2: He's pushed every single day by another demon, Randy Rodriguez,

1302
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 2: who's just if you guys saw him blow that blow

1303
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 2: the game in the All Star give a bunch of

1304
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 2: runs in the All Star Game. That's not a fair

1305
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: estimation of who he is as a pitcher, because he's

1306
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 2: an animal, upper nineties, disgusting Slyther. They still have Tyler

1307
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: Rodgers throwing the ball underhand from like rubbing his dirt

1308
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 2: on the rubbing his hand on the dirt in the mound.

1309
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 2: And then, oddly enough, a new lefty specialist, a new

1310
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 2: shutdown middle innings reliever, has emerged in the San Francisco Giants.

1311
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 2: I barely leave the league before it's another former Met.

1312
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 2: It's a beloved figure, it's a former guest of the

1313
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 2: Mets Up podcast. Is Joey Lukezy, mister churf. It makes

1314
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 2: me a little bit upset every single day that Joey

1315
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 2: Lucazy could have been the lefty this Mets ballpen wats

1316
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 2: it and needs. But he's doing it for the San

1317
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: Francisco Giants instead, where he had that amazing start of

1318
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 2: a few years ago when he struck out like ten

1319
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 2: guys on a random Thursday or Tuesday night and Friday

1320
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 2: night at San Francisco.

1321
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: I love Joey Luczy, love Joey Fuego. He was such

1322
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: a nice guy too. I've interviewed him twice. I interviewed

1323
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 1: him on my own and then with the Mets the podcast,

1324
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: and I'll still never forget when we were asking him

1325
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: how do you throw the churve and he could not

1326
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: explain it to us without holding a baseball in his hand,

1327
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: and he's like, I like, I need.

1328
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 2: A baseball right now. We had one, we had.

1329
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: What we gave it to He was like, I like,

1330
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, Ah, I'm not sure, and then he

1331
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: was like trying to show us.

1332
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 2: And then what was the question we asked him? If you

1333
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 2: were in a baseball what would you be? Said an engineer. Yeah,

1334
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 2: we were asking a question every single player that we

1335
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 2: interviewed that year, and yeah, Joe lukease he's be an engineer.

1336
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 2: But he frozer about forty seconds before answering it, just

1337
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: letting us know that he there's nothing else he wants

1338
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: to be besides the baseball play, which is about right.

1339
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: Also, the other question that we had to throw away

1340
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 1: when we asked him, who would you want to fight

1341
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: with you in a zombie apocalypse him and every other

1342
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: met player during that that we had to cut Tommy

1343
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 1: fam instant answer, which.

1344
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 2: Is the right answer. But Lukezy now moving to like

1345
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 2: a single inning, single inning relief arm. He's pitching thirteen

1346
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 2: games this year, fourteen innings. He's got a thirty one

1347
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 2: percent track gut rate, three percent walk g sixty one

1348
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 2: percent croball. He's literally just by adding like two miles

1349
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 2: an hour to his fastball but still just going churf

1350
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 2: turff surf. It's turned him into like an actual We

1351
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 2: need to get past twenty innings to actually call him

1352
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 2: a shut down reliever. But Joe Lucasey might have just

1353
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: completely reinvented himself for the second part of his career

1354
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: as a legit left he started out of the ballpen.

1355
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 2: It's at the end of the day, it's just so

1356
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 2: fucking happy for the guy. It's awesome.

1357
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope we shoit on him this weekend, but

1358
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, probably, yeah, what are.

1359
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 2: You gonna do it? And otherwise, again this series, I

1360
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: don't think we're gonna see Landon Rup. I'm pretty sure

1361
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 2: he's pitching Thursday, but I'm gonna double check their schedule

1362
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 2: right now. He's kind of been a godsend for that

1363
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 2: team in the rotation, coming a bit out of nowhere,

1364
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 2: is dealt with a lot of injuries, has a weird

1365
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 2: ass curveball, and a really good sinker on the twenty seconds.

1366
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 2: So he might pitch, Okay, he might pitch in the

1367
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 2: last game. That's series. He could just move up a day,

1368
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 2: have it. No, it's rough.

1369
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: Ah, baseball reference to tell me, it's Roupe is really

1370
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: saying his name wrong all season up all right, Land

1371
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: and Rupe, My bad, big mistake on that one.

1372
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 2: I said his name hundreds of times correctly. Yeah, man, yeah,

1373
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 2: I got I got the stuff. Sometimes don't have the names,

1374
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 2: but that's bad. I gotta get the names. But he's

1375
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 2: been really good, really weird, good story though. It's just

1376
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: he puts a lot of guys on base and gets

1377
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 2: out of every single jam. And they also still have

1378
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 2: the corpse of Justin Verlander just throwing nothing in the

1379
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 2: back of that rotation, nothing at all. He got his

1380
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 2: did he get his first win? He did? He got

1381
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,240
Speaker 2: the first win I think in nineteen starts yeah, Wednesday,

1382
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 2: and then otherwise just other guys in the team. Joan

1383
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: Ju Lee started the year blazing hot, has really crashed

1384
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 2: back down or it's still a good baseball player. But

1385
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think when people were thinking that

1386
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 2: Jong Hu Lee was like this the second coming, they

1387
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 2: were like, all right, you guys, got chill out little

1388
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: because he's just he's just fine. He's now just barely

1389
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 2: dragging his way to a seven hundred ops. Otherwise, I

1390
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: was saying, Patrick Bailey, incredible defensive player.

1391
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: That's yeah, he's an incredible defensive player. He's incredible defensive

1392
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: players of catcher in baseball.

1393
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: Andrew Kissner, who I'm pretty sure was part of the

1394
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 2: trades for Paul Golshman back in the day if I

1395
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 2: remember right, No, I'm thinking Kelly was from Carson Kelly

1396
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 2: he's going to stay. And Luke Weaver that was it. Yeah,

1397
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: never mind. Then Casey Schmid another really good defensive player.

1398
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: They're trying to Brett baty Casey Schmidt. He's nowhere near

1399
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 2: the offensive ceiling, but Davis moved into second base to

1400
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 2: get him on the field because Chapman, Mattchadman's great player

1401
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 2: at third. Chapman also got hit by a pitch on

1402
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 2: Wednesday and left the game x RA as your negative.

1403
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 2: But maybe he can miss a game this series. Oh

1404
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 2: my god, crossing the fingers. I mean, I know he's okay.

1405
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 2: I don't want anything bad to happen to him, but

1406
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 2: I would like one game without without Matt Chadmin. It

1407
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 2: definitely definitely help us a lot.

1408
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the giant series prev guys, we're recording
