00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: What Is Up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast, one of the first in

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: a minute where we're like, ah, it wasn't the best.

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, frustrating series against the Dimonbacks lost two of three.

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: Two of those losses incredibly winnable games, just couldn't get

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: the job done. It felt like for the first time

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: all season that this crazy chaotic schedule that the Mets

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: have had where they're gonna be playing twenty six games

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: in twenty seven days, is finally starting to wear on

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: these guys. We see the bullpen management has been a

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: little bit awkward. We've seen some at bats have been

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: a little bit bad towards the end of the games,

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: and some big moments haven't been able to get those

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: big hits with runners in scoring position. There's a lot

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: to talk about in this series, as there always is.

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,559

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: just at game three. How are we feeling now that

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: we've had like twenty minutes where it's like, all right,

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: the game's over. We made it back home. I mean

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: still not good.

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: Like I think again, if I'm looking at the series

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: like holistically, I was much more frustrated by the Game

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: two loss on Wednesday night. I thought that was a

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: significantly more winnable game.

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: I thought you had.

31
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: Their pictures significantly more in the ropes, and you had

32
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: them in game three. Game three, all it happens like

33
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: your best player here, two solo home runs and that

34
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: was the only way you scored. Like that can't be

35
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: the only way you score in a game that you

36
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: expect to win. But looking at Game two, especially coming

37
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: off like the two day offensive explosion from Monday Tuesday,

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: getting those incredible innings from Brandon Waddell, who's a legend's

39
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: gonna be a mess legend for as long as he lives,

40
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: getting walked nine times by Diamondbacks pitchers, and getting absolutely

41
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: literally no big hits basically the entire game. That's the

42
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: one that still sticks in my craw also for other

43
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 2: reasons too, But if I look back at this series,

44
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: the game three is more of like a tip to

45
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: the hack game or game two was a game that you.

46
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Kind of botched yourselves. Yeah, three, we felt more like

47
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: we lost that one. We had opportunities to come back

48
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: to getting chances to win. You lose games. Game two

49
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: is like, we shouldn't have lost this one. I don't

50
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: know how we lost this game. It took everything going

51
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: wrong essentially for them to lose that game. I mean,

52
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: even looking back on it, over ten with runners in

53
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: scoring position, thirteen men left on base. It's like that

54
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff can't happen, especially when Cordon Burns

55
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: was so unspectacular. Of the nine guys in the Mets

56
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: that drew walks on Tuesday, that was on Wednesday, only

57
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: one game are out the score. I can't. That just

58
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: can't happen. That you're getting you're getting walked.

59
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: That many times, you've that many free bases, you can

60
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: you can't let such game get to that context. Also,

61
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: again you mentioned it, the twenty six games and twenty

62
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: seven days has really visibly worn on these guys worse

63
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: spicif bait by the fact that while we're doing this

64
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: for four weeks. The whole team also seems to have

65
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: a stomach bug. Yep, we heard about the whole brand

66
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: ne Moost fiasco. Between Monday and Tuesday, he.

67
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Had an IV. He had to be sent home. We

68
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: heard the battle code. I was saying it. He had

69
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: to be set at home on Wednesday.

70
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: He also wasn't one hundred percent when he made the start,

71
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: not excuse of core. He still pitched okay, but she did.

72
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: He did mention it though in the post game where

73
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: he was like, it's like, I want to pitch, I

74
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: don't feel good. He's like, I had no feel for

75
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: any of my pitches today. But I told them I'm

76
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: pitching today. That's my day, Like I'm going, which is good. Again,

77
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: He's still pitch. He still pitch fine.

78
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: Before inning sucks and when you're in this in this stretch,

79
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: but we still don't give up.

80
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: Run.

81
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: You seem still as a chance to win. I wonder too,

82
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: if there could have been a stomach thing we'd read

83
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: Garrett that we haven't heard about, just because he also

84
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: pitched on Thursday after not having pitched since last Saturday,

85
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: when he pitched it back to back in the National Series.

86
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: Going through twenty five pitches through the two games, and

87
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: you don't have him for the Sunday collapse, You do

88
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: not have him late in the game a Wednesday would

89
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: have looked like we really could have used somebody else

90
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: to pitch that ninth inning that wasn't Christovinski for a

91
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: second inning.

92
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: It just it's I don't know.

93
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: It seems like a lot of these things are kind

94
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: of piling up on this team right now, and you

95
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: hope that we can pose together in this last mini

96
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: road trip to get out of this run and still

97
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: be like comfortably one of the teams the best records

98
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: in baseball.

99
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you mentioned too that things just haven't been

100
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: necessarily going right over these last couple of losses. Like

101
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: I know, a lot of people are getting on Stanic

102
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: right now. Seems to be the hot thing is to

103
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: be like standing's done. He sinks this guy's a bum, Like, well, Dan,

104
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: we're gone. We need a new scapegoat, of course. Yeah,

105
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: now that Danny Young out for the season with Tommy John,

106
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: essentially gotta find someone else. Not confirmed, I mean it's

107
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I think I think we're pretty confident it's happening.

108
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: But standik again, like, I know we had the two

109
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: blow ups in Washington. He now had to blow up

110
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: against the Diamondbacks where you have a couple runs, but

111
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: nobody is still hitting the ball hard. Against this guys

112
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: were they were the cheapest little hits. It's like, how

113
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: did that lord his Guriel groundball get through? I think

114
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: the eggs velos on those balls were like eighty five,

115
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: seventy six and seventy four or something. It was shocking.

116
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Like imagine if you told someone just a personal baseball watcher, Hey,

117
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: your reliever came in, they made three they hit the

118
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: ball three times and none of them were hit harder

119
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: than ninety miles an how or how how many runs

120
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: would you score? He'd be like, how many runs? What

121
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: do you mean they scored runs?

122
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: I'll snap back on you for a second there, because

123
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: there were five balls put in play against standing dive inning.

124
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: There was a ground down of thee hundred and six

125
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: that was an out, there was a line now the

126
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: one hundred and two that wasn't out, and then the eighty

127
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: five mile hour single, the eighty one mile hour single,

128
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: and the seventy four mile and how joorge Proosa doubles

129
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: again that but again that to me is like that's

130
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: that's baseball, Susan. But in terms of standing, there's not

131
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: anything to be concerned about with him. But there is

132
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: a situation going on with him where he's fully lost

133
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: the field of both of his secondary pitches, his splither

134
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 2: and his slyther. He only threw one splither in that inning,

135
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: and it got hit hard. It was the ball that

136
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: was like Gabrielle Moreno hit one hundred six miles an

137
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: hour on the ground, and then he didn't throw another

138
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: one after that because again similar to what happened to

139
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: him last Friday in Washington and on Sunday, where he's

140
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: throwing that splither, he's trying to use that pitch with

141
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: two strikes, but rather than burying it, it's sitting in

142
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: the strike zone. So that was just now you're just

143
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: throwing a slow fastball, and he's very easy for guys

144
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: to hit a slow bath fastball when you're pumping a

145
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: hundred miles narrow with your other pitches. And he also

146
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: literally hung two sliders. One he got lucky, got called

147
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: a strike and the other one was the line drive

148
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: by Tintawa. So again he scrapped both of those pitches

149
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: after they got hit hard, and it was just fastball, fastball, fastball,

150
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: and you could only be so good when you're only

151
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: able to throw a fastball, fastball, fastball, So he has

152
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: to figure out the feel for those pitches. While he

153
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: probably did get and he mentioned it after the game,

154
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: like it's weird to hear a player talk like this.

155
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people got upset about that

156
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter, but.

157
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: He objectively did get a bit unlucky with those balls,

158
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: despite the fact that again they hit two other balls hard,

159
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: but they were on the pitches that he quit throwing.

160
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: They never squared up the fastball, yet they got the

161
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: runs off.

162
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Them, which is why I'm like, I'm not worried about

163
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: static by any means, and where people are. Certainly he's

164
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: not in the circle of trust anymore, guys, we don't

165
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: have that many options for one. Two he very much is.

166
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: I three blown saves as they're they're called this late

167
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: in the season, you know, not worried about it. Well,

168
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: two of them were actually blown saves. Came in the

169
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: ninth inning with lead, and this one is technically a

170
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: blown slave as well, in the seventh inning or whatever

171
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: that was. Again even more than standing giving up the runs. Yes,

172
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: I'll say it again.

173
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: The thing that pissed me off by far the most

174
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: about this game was that after Kristovinski gets out of

175
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: his first inning, which was the eighth inning, gets out

176
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: of it with no runs, and you see Edward Diaz

177
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: warming up in what was a one run game at

178
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: the time. For some reason, in that moment, he doesn't

179
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: come into the game. Kristovinski comes back in for his

180
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: second inning, and that was at the time where the

181
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: Mets had nine to one to two do up in

182
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: a one run game in the bottom of the ninth

183
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: inning being Tyrone Taylor France to schooling door and want so.

184
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: Though again it's the Diamondbacks who have Justin Martinez Az

185
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: their closer, who's disgusting. But his last appearance before the

186
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: series is lost, he was down. He came back into

187
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: this game and he was a radic and as loss

188
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: he was down again. So to kind of punt that

189
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: ninth inning when you could have gone to Diaz or

190
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: Reed Garrett to keep a one run game, a one

191
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: run game in situation where you're the top of your

192
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: lineup coming up, but there's a good chance that you

193
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: at least contend with scoring at least one run. That

194
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: that to me really ticked me off. That got me

195
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: to a spot where I was like, I can't even

196
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: I can't even find it bay the rationalize.

197
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: This, especially knowing that Edwin Diaz hasn't been used in

198
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: like a week. He's not Edgy Edward Garrett had that

199
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: would be that was his fifth day off. So it's like,

200
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: I didn't understand it. It made no sense at the time.

201
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: It still doesn't make sense now. And the weirdest thing

202
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: is I felt like, like Mendoza answers these questions. He's

203
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: not like a run and hide from these kind of guy.

204
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: Nobody asked him about this. I couldn't believe it. It

205
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: was bizarre. I'm like, what is going on with the

206
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: reporters sleeping on this one too.

207
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: I watched the entire postgame press conference Wednesday, and I

208
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: was like, someone ask him about the ninth inning, someone

209
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: asking about the christopherus the seconding, and no one asked

210
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: about the second inning, And like, it's a bad sign

211
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: with Lloyd this Gurriel, who's basically honestly last leg as

212
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 2: a professional baseball player.

213
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: He smoked the double off Tavinski that was the hardest parall.

214
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: Hey, shit, all this season he got super round on

215
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: and it's just like there's and still even you get

216
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: back to that ninth inning, Justin Martinez has nothing, home run,

217
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: walk walk to start the ending funky. Ryan Thompson comes

218
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: in and he hits Pete. But then you have a

219
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: situation where Vientos again is coming up in a big

220
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: opportunity and he didn't come through. And this came out

221
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: to me. He did hit a solo home run earlier

222
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: in this game, but that was now two games a

223
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: row for Viano's between Wednesday and Thursday, where he had

224
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: he came up and what wound up being the most

225
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: important spot in the game with guys in scoring position

226
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: and fewer than two outs, and both times he didn't

227
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: put the ball in play, struck out swing, And that's

228
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: something that just it just can't happen from someone that

229
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: we're relying on to be middle of a line of producer.

230
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 2: Twice in a row not even put the ball in

231
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: play in either instance, a fly ball would have dramatically

232
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: changed the course of the game, but nothing happened.

233
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: That a huge black mark. Yeah, no, it was definitely

234
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: a frustrating frustrating loss in Game two. Positive stuff. Oscar

235
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: Brosselbon did great as an opener. He was awesome. He's

236
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: a he's just throwing ninety seven mile an hour sinkers

237
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: in ninety three mile an hour change ups. Looks really solid.

238
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: And Brendan Waddell did a great, great job.

239
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: Oh, Brenda Wadell proved himself to be a spot star

240
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: there at any point we possibly need him.

241
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean him and Hageen.

242
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: It's amazing that, Like that's we'll sign these guys up

243
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: the clear blue sky and you're like, wow, four amazing

244
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: ending sixty great pitches.

245
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: But he did some crazy stuff.

246
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: Like he he threw five pitch at least twelve percent

247
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: of the time, which was cool. And it was a

248
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: very very intentional split of his sinker in his four

249
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 2: seam fastball. But the left he's got the sinker and

250
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: the right he's got the four seam fastball. They kind

251
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 2: of just let the rest of his repertoire fall off

252
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: of those pitches, and the Diamondbacks were like kind of clueless,

253
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: like they had nothing against him, Like he was throwing

254
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: the tight slider, he had the big sweeper, he was

255
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: hitting spots with the changeup, which is definitely like it

256
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: was his least thrown pitch. He only threw it to

257
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: the righties, but he looked fantastic. He retired the eight

258
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: final eight batters he faced like it was it was

259
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: really legit.

260
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: And again he threw all five of the pitches.

261
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: I said at least I think twelve percent of the

262
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: time all five, also got at least one swinging miss,

263
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: like he had it going on, like he looked like

264
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: a capable major league pitcher and he'd been in Asia

265
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: for the past couple of years.

266
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: I also even say this, like the one inning of

267
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Davinski was completely fine as well, fine he went to

268
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: the second inning. That's where we got into trouble. That's

269
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: when it was like the head scratcher of like, what

270
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: in the world are we actually doing? Other positive things

271
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: to take from this game, Tyrone Taylor played really well,

272
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: got the big home run the ninth thitning off of

273
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: Justin Martinez. He is swinging the bat a hell of

274
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: a lot better than he has, which is I don't

275
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: want to say exciting to see, because I don't think

276
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: we should ever be classifying our nine hitter as exciting

277
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: like that. But it's encouraging to see that Tyrone Taylor's

278
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: starting to heat up a little bit at the plate.

279
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: Also a little combo milks. He had the home run

280
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: in the stolen base I've see most and I think

281
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: it was a few hits.

282
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: Like he's I guess a good series technically he made.

283
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean going back to Game one, he made that

284
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: unbelievable catch that I still like watching it. I can't

285
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: believe how much ground he covered and then he made

286
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: the catch and he got a couple of RBIs in

287
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: that first game too.

288
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: But it's just where the point right now with this team,

289
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: where Tyron Taylor's place on it is very important, Like

290
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: we need Tyrone Taylor to play well because he is

291
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: the center fielder. There's no one else coming into play

292
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: center fields. I mean McNeil, we've joked around with it sometimes,

293
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: but eighteen games since Jose Series was injured, Tyrone Taylor

294
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: has started fifteen of them. That is a full time player.

295
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: That's that's just few we off days then, Like that's

296
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: like that's the same avults like jeffmcnial's always get over

297
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks. Like this guy is an

298
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: everyday player in this Mets team. He just has to

299
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: be able to hit a little bit to kind of

300
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 2: keep this thing moving.

301
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: And mostly it was fine that there is They wasn't

302
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: so great for Tyrone Taylor again, but it's that's fine.

303
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: He's nine hit.

304
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter for the card collectors out there. You

305
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: got to check out Arena club. I've got to share room.

306
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: AJ's gotta showroom and it's become a place where you

307
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: can basically do everything digitally and physically in the hobby.

308
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely can get cards. They'll great them for you. They

309
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 4: come in the plastic if you want to physically get them,

310
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 4: so they don't show up like this card that's all

311
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: Bent and Scott for some reason decided and they show

312
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: up nice, like the exact same card. Look how perfect

313
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 4: this one is. That's how Arena club sends them to you.

314
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 4: They'll leave it in case them for you so they

315
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 4: don't get messed up in transit. So Arena clubs are

316
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 4: one stop shop for any baseball card, football card, any

317
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 4: card needs that you might have.

318
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: And you should check out slab packs. You can rip

319
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: a pack for hundreds of dollars or less and hit

320
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: on a card that's worth tens of thousands of dollars.

321
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: I'll take those odds right now. You can get twenty

322
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: percent off your first slab pack or your first card

323
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: purchase by going to Arena club dot com slash foul.

324
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 3: That's code foul once you get there. Arena club dot

325
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: Com slash foul, code foul.

326
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Thursday. I mean both of these losses truthfully, Like

327
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: as much as we talked about the weird bullpen decisions

328
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: and this or that, it does come down to the

329
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: fact that the Mets scored five runs Wednesday and Thursday combined.

330
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Three runs on Wednesday, two runs on Thursday. Just you

331
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: can't really win games sustainably against good baseball teams like

332
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: their Zoe Dimebacks when you're scoring less than average every

333
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: single game, Like the Mets objectively pitched well this series.

334
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: I think we could say that as they always do, like, yeah,

335
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: think about it, like two days, you lose the balls,

336
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: you score five runs, four of those five runs came

337
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: on solo home runs.

338
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just you're not you're not sustaining any hitting.

339
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: And I felt like we did kind of come out

340
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: of the shell a little bit that between that Washington game,

341
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: which was just a thought a joke on Monday and

342
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: then everything that happened. I'm on Tuesday bringing the good

343
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: vibes in after I totally jinxed the line up, complaining

344
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: about it's talking today, it's the whole til and everyone

345
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: goes off.

346
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: Yeah it was perfect, but.

347
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: Then you just lose it again, losing it against two

348
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: pitchers who are still probably objectively to the twenty ish

349
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: best pitchers in the National League. That again, if we

350
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: take away the context of how these games went down,

351
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: that makes it feel a little bit better and make

352
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: a little bit more sense. But as bad as Corbyn

353
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: burns pitch, it's just you could have blown. You could

354
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: have busted that game open four or five different instances

355
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: on Wednesday night and never ever getting the big hit

356
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: and never getting one through to do it. That's the

357
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: part I just still just can't get out of my crawl.

358
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gallen was definitely way more in control, like he

359
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: got he got settled in at one point, was just

360
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: plowing through the lineup like nobody could figure anything out

361
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: with him. At least I thought Gallen like that.

362
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: He gave Francisco Indoor some of the worst at bats

363
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: that he's had all year, and Gallen does this amazing thing,

364
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: and I'll throw in the graphic and I'll show you

365
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: guys this the Baseball so On pitch chart where he

366
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: puts all of his pitches in the same spots. And

367
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: but that's how he's successful because he does it great.

368
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: He does great tunnel links, but bright handers and left

369
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: handers where it's it's fastballs that are going to be

370
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: inside to the lefties or outside of the righty's knuckle

371
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: curves and the same plane but just drops straight down

372
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: and it colors the kind of work on that upper

373
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: plane just to give like the wrinkle of moving left

374
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: and right when everything else moves up and down.

375
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: And when he does it, it's it's amazing when it's on.

376
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: He's had bad command this year and the fastball shape

377
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: is waved a little bit, same with.

378
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: The knuckle curve consistency.

379
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: But this was this was a great start by him,

380
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: and he is still a very good pitcher and like

381
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: he should be respected as such.

382
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, just needed the big hits this series and couldn't

383
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: get it. I mean, the Mets have won a bunch

384
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: of games where they've gotten the big hits, so it's

385
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: we're not gonna ever be the fans again to be like,

386
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: oh my god, what's happening this offense? I told you, like, hey,

387
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Wan Soto had two home runs today in the Mets loss.

388
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: That's probably almost never gonna happen in Wan Soto's tenure.

389
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: Like that's gonna happen. You're gonna be able to count

390
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: it on your hands in fifteen years how many times

391
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: that happens.

392
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: And very cool about the fact that they hit the

393
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: both oppos the field. We've talked a lot about this

394
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: on this podcast about so those success when he kind

395
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: of does look the other way more. I think every

396
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: hither when they're trying to get right, like every professional

397
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: baseball player, like they want to find that power.

398
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: To the opposit field because that's how you know that

399
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: you're staying with than yourself.

400
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: So everything to say, definitely, so though it's even more

401
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: extreme because he won. He's a player, and we talked

402
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: about this couple episodes ago that he, more than most

403
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: other players.

404
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: In the league, will let the ball travel be so deep.

405
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: He's his reaction time is so good, his swing is

406
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: so fast, and his eye is so good that he

407
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: lets that.

408
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: Ball travel deep.

409
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: He can make the best decision possible, and his prowess

410
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: not only comes from his power, but from the strength

411
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: of his swing decisions, so that helps them there. And two,

412
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: there's just not a lot of other players that actually

413
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: have the prolific power to the opposite field that want

414
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: so though has like not a lot of players can

415
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, I'm looking for oppos and field power

416
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: because eventually he's not going to have enough powers to

417
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: be a successful major leaguer. Andrew Vaughan, who was a

418
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: marquee prospect top draft pick, looked like a can'tus kind

419
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: of guy. He's been trying to do this for five

420
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: years four years now. He literally cannot do it enough

421
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: to be successful to major league level. It affected Bencher

422
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: Torkosen a lot. He moved We were talking about it, right.

423
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: He moved back in the box this year and opened

424
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: up his swing.

425
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: God Like, he made major changes to his stance, his

426
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: positioning in the box, how open he is versus how

427
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: close he was last year. He's made massive changes. Sometimes

428
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: you just got to figure out and find it. And

429
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: for a guy like Juan Soto, he's always been the

430
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: guy that you said he's best, you tweeted it out

431
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: on your Twitter today where you're like, he's one of

432
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: the only guys probably in Major League Baseball who I

433
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: legitimately want to see take the ball the other way

434
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: because that's how I know he's starting to feel himself.

435
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: And again the batsbe conversation, I keep seeing on Twitter

436
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: where people are bringing up that Sodo's bats beeed's down

437
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: this year on his home runs today eighty three eighty

438
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: one and a half. That's like the fastest swings in baseball.

439
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, the top end bat speed's still there.

440
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: And we talked about this too, but I think the

441
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: fact that so those bat speed looks down on an average,

442
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: that's an average batspeed measures because a lot of players

443
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: and I think that Baseball sponsor, we're definitely a lot

444
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: more public research going happen with this bat spet. Stuff's

445
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: gonna be lot of cool stuff that comes out of

446
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: in the next couple months. Because only a year old,

447
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: it's not even year old yet. Actually, you're going to

448
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: have different swings when you're in different counts, you're in

449
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: different situations, and Soda himself has faced more two strike

450
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: counts than he's wanted to this year, and he's had

451
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: to kind of shorten up.

452
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: It's wants.

453
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: So is a guy that chokes up a short and

454
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: st up when he goes down to two strikes.

455
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: I think that's just the case.

456
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: And that's someone that also kind of plays into the

457
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: opps field stuff where it's like he knows that he's comfortable,

458
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: more comfortable than most players in the league with going

459
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: opps the field and being productive and really get putting

460
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: damage on the ball that way, and like that's something

461
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: and not a lot of other people can say. And

462
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: I even have a good statured out just love about

463
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: baseball savon last two seasons, most oppos field home runs

464
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: in baseball so though, is seventh. That makes sense, Hey,

465
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: Pete is actually fifth, a little bit ahead of him,

466
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: and then the top guys are of course Otani, Judge, Schwarber, Olsen,

467
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 2: Pete Ozuna, so though than Brent Rooker, Anthony Santander, Cal Rowley,

468
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 2: and then Lindor's eleventh huh rees opps ffield her runs

469
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: last two years.

470
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: The I'm surprised by that. I'm very surprised by that.

471
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: With Lindor. I don't really remember the opposite field home

472
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: runs with him, but hey, whatever, I guess when you

473
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: hit thirty a years, some of them are going to

474
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: be opposite field at the end of the day. But

475
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: Sodo swings this series looked a lot, a lot better

476
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: even the the other night, was it Wednesday, Tuesday or Wednesday,

477
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: when he like made three outs like one oh five

478
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: plus again, and you're like, feels like he's starting to

479
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: get a little bit more comfortable right now, which is

480
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: good because again we've been talking about the offensive struggle

481
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: or that the team's playing so well with Soto's offensive struggles.

482
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Now when he starts to heat up, that's when you

483
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: have him and Pete Alonso hitting like this. It's awesome.

484
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: I have to mend myself on that stat I totally

485
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: forgot to click a couple of buttons. I was wrong

486
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: stat so actually, so THEO is third over the last

487
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: three years naps the field home runs. It's Aaron Judge,

488
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: Ralph Field, Devers want so that that's the top three?

489
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: Okay, where what were you looking at? I just forgot

490
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: to click the OPO. He was looking at home runs.

491
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: I was just reading raw home runs since the twenty

492
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 2: three Totally incorrect. That's why I'm likes on the fly. Yeah,

493
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: doing stats on the fly incorrect. Glaber's are high on

494
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: this list, so vaulty. It's kind of funny, hoest.

495
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because they got the Yekees that they had

496
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: the Volpi's, Like I could hit the ball ninety two

497
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: to right field and it's gone, yeah, which is not

498
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: a lot of guys can boast like what want so

499
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: they can do opps field.

500
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 2: You can kind of see in those swings where he's

501
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: like he kind of looks like for a second his

502
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: shoulder is flying open, but that pitch on the outside,

503
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: like he just gets the bathead on it and it

504
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: just goes And he knew both of them instantly. He

505
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: got the second smoked. He got second one over the old,

506
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: the original City field wall. Every single time to see

507
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: someone hit on the run up there, just think about

508
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: David Wright.

509
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: But it's just that's in Jason Bay. Yeah.

510
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: We also we did get a comment from Mendoza about

511
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: why he didn't use Edwin Diaz in ninth inning. So

512
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: if you want to, if you want a filibuster, I'll

513
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: listen to it and i'll get.

514
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: To it after. Oh okay, So I mean, let's guess

515
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: what would be the reasonings that he wouldn't use Edwin Diaz?

516
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: In the ninth. It's either uh, they don't want to

517
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: use him in non save situations right now, or Edwin

518
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: got up and wasn't ready to go. I don't know.

519
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: I don't actually have any good possible reason what that

520
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: could be. So he kind of deflected a little bit.

521
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 2: They were like why Garrett over Diaz and then he

522
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: was like, okare, it's a really good picture. He can

523
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 2: get out of anything like that, like, no big deal.

524
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: He didn't throw the million, understanding well, he hasn't gotten work.

525
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: And then someone's like, well, d has is the pitch

526
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: in a while?

527
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: Is okay? And he was like, hey, he's fine. He

528
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: got out this series a couple of time, just never

529
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: got in. Yeah, it's so weird to me. I don't know.

530
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: I just think it's weird that they're just not using

531
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 2: Edwin Daz because again, as again keep saying it, we're

532
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: gonna say over and over against episode twenty six games

533
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: in twenty seven days, you need more people to be pitching,

534
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: a need more all hands on deck, Like I'd rather

535
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: Edward Diz be getting a couple extra innings in games

536
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: that we might be losing by one rather than watch

537
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: Hennas's Cabrera for like eighth straight balls, you know what

538
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: I mean, Like, there's just a Christovinski throw a second

539
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: inning and I hate it. A close game if it

540
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: was seven runs crazy one Yeah, a one run game

541
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: with the top of your order to du up the

542
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: next inning when you know the other team had a

543
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: bit of an unsettled closer situation like that to me

544
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: is just like I and it wasn't directly asked about.

545
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: I would love to just hear his actual reasonings for that,

546
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: because I keep coming back to exactly that, Like that's

547
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: the thing I can't get over from this series.

548
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: Like I know the offense is hitting.

549
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: I Fianto's didn't come through multiple times in huge spots,

550
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: But why on.

551
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Earth was it? What were we punting the ninth inning

552
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: of a one run game? And then even today on Thursday,

553
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: it was super weird that Tyadcock came in when it

554
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: was a two run game, the two outs in the

555
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: ninth inning. It was It was so so weird. That's

556
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: why I'm like, something is up with Edwin. It has

557
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: to be. And I feel like we've heard Edwin in

558
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: the past talk about and maybe this sturt in the

559
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: Buck days where it was like, I like to pitch.

560
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: He likes to pitch a lot, he likes to get

561
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: into a rhythm, he likes to be used. Often it

562
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: feels like now the next time Edwin's gonna come out,

563
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna get shelved, and the excuse is going to be, well,

564
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: he hasn't pitched in a week. Yeah, but again it

565
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: be an excuse. Again. We talked that.

566
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's that's more like the talk. If

567
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 2: he actually is something wrong with him, why does he

568
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: keep warming up? This isn't like deep state shit. We're

569
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: not trying to like hide the fact that Edward Diaz

570
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 2: injured that he definitely is okay, but just we keep

571
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: getting into these games where sometimes I do feel like

572
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: it I'll manager to do this. I think sometimes Mendoza

573
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 2: does does this as well. You don'tly want to burn

574
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: the closer in a game you're losing. You kind of

575
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: you get too scared to use the closer. You wind

576
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: up not using the closer for five days in a

577
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: row like this, because you win a couple blowouts and

578
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: you lose a couple of close games and closer.

579
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: Brad Lynch's in the playoffs with the Phillies when they

580
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: had him warming up like six times, and then they

581
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: came in and then he gives up nukes and it's like, oh, ty,

582
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted. I've thrown one hundred and ten pitches, Zach Britton.

583
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't find the perfect spot to use

584
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: your closer, but sometimes it's just nice to get three outs.

585
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a thing that Mendoza is a little worried

586
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: about Edward because he hasn't pitched that well non safe situation.

587
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: It's like, maybe that's it, Like we don't again say again,

588
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say twenty five times, which someone asked, doesn't

589
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: twenty six games of twenty seven days. No one knows

590
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: more about what's going on with these guys personally, how

591
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: their arms actually feel, how their stomach feels. Again, that

592
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: keeps going around the team than Carlos Mendoz's. So I

593
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 2: do still always trust his feel because he is inside

594
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: the class, the locker room, he's inside the clubhouse. We

595
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: are not We're just speculating based on situations and occurrences

596
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 2: and trends that we're able to see from the outside.

597
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: But it is weird that we went through this whole

598
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,239
Speaker 2: series with two very close games tight Edward Diez did

599
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 2: not throw a pitch despite warming up from many different times.

600
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: And it sucks too because the series started out so great,

601
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: and that's just beat the piss out of the Diamondbacks.

602
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: They smoked at Wardo Rodriguez, who stinks. Told you he

603
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: looks fat and overweight and he can't throw strikes. He

604
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: got absolutely smoked. They played one of the best defensive

605
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: innings that we've ever seen ever. Granted Mark Fientos couldn't

606
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: make the play, but then Lindor was there to make it.

607
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: Off the deflection, he made the great throw Tyrone Taylor

608
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: with the catch and then Lindor in the hole again

609
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: on the ball that was smoked at him. It started

610
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: off so so so good in game one and then

611
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: just they just kind of a little flat, little little

612
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: baby fart there, just like nothing left.

613
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: Also was like not a great person game. It was

614
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 2: a fine Piers in the game, like he was in there.

615
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 2: He just didn't really have a good enough of a field,

616
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 2: I think if it's changed up watching it back. And

617
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 2: then the diamondbackser was all over him. Every single ball

618
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: was hit hard. Sixteen balls and play twelve of them

619
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 2: were hit hard. To one was one hundred twelve by

620
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: Nyo Suarez. I think that was the Viento's play with

621
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: the Vanho's on door ping pong play, but just he

622
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: and also they stacked the lineup with Ridy's and if

623
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: this usually doesn't isn't the thing with Peterson. But he

624
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: didn't really have a feel for anything, especially now was

625
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: forcing fastball. He usually throws that moore against right handed bathers,

626
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: so it was like a lot of he was forty

627
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: percent sinkers against the rities, and they hit the ball

628
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 2: very hard off that pitch, and they hit everything hard,

629
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: but they especially hit that one hard. Just need it

630
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: was again nice to pick him up and like score

631
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 2: a million runs on one year. Pitcher has just just

632
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 2: an okay day instead.

633
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: Of a good day. Had a good bounce back for

634
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: budo to who told you guys, too good to cut?

635
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, too too good to cut, too good to cut,

636
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: and even this game too, Like this was a good moment.

637
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: We're like, yeah, Kevin hergant throw forty five pitch, Well

638
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: we got can't wait, get out there, we gotta shout out.

639
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Hergett went to Kane University in New Jersey shout

640
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: out Union County. There you go.

641
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: And it was also funny in the game Thursday that

642
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: we at one point in the game we had Zach

643
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: Gallen who's from like Philly, Jersey, versus Max Cranic that's

644
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 2: like New York, Pennsylvania, and they were too ill. They're

645
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: two years apart from each other, growing up in like

646
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: a similar region, both playing baseball.

647
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: Wonder if they're if their pad's ever crossed. I'm they're close,

648
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: they're close. The age thing might cause it. But Max

649
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: Cranick was also probably so damn good in high school

650
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: that he was playing on the best teams for his

651
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: club baseball team when he was like fifteen playing with

652
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: the seventeen year olds. I'm sure yeah.

653
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: And people are getting on Cranic and Garrett Bolts for

654
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: like allowing the solo home runs in the game on Thursday,

655
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: but just like allow solo home Maajor League Baseball players

656
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 2: again tipped cap for a solo home run, and.

657
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: It's just I mean, Tim tim Tawas swung the bat

658
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: on Hunt eighty five miles an hour on his home run,

659
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Like that's that's a war hack. That's faster than anyone

660
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: swung the bat in the game.

661
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: Tayaka took eighteen pitches to get one out when he

662
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: when he came into that game, Mark and I was

663
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: sitting up to the third baseline and we were like, what

664
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: the fuck is going on right now?

665
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: Why would two holes in the ninth inning in a

666
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: tight game? How could this? Garrett sick?

667
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: Like like Rigarrett twenty six pitches, They're like, it's a

668
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: hard twenty five.

669
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Pitch cap for Rigarrett. Can't do it? And als Frustran

670
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Ricart finally gave his first round of the year. That

671
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: was yeah, because he's been literally untouchable.

672
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, like otherwise from this series, Like was there anything

673
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: even else to say? It's just like some general frustration

674
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: that but also just a lot of like Diambacks are

675
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 2: kind of good. They're good enough where if you make

676
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: enough mistakes against them and you give them enough chances,

677
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: they will win because they're a solid, fine baseball team.

678
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: FT fan, we're excited to introduce you to Rowback with

679
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 3: the subtle dog logo and there's two stripes on the

680
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: back of every product. Krats, what are you rocking for

00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 3: us today? I got the.

682
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: Polo, so when I'm out on the course, I stay cool.

683
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: The sweats wick in a way you barely even feel

684
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: like it's on.

685
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, at is a Rowback Polo classic solid in stripes.

686
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: If that's for you, go for it. Print polos are

687
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: there as well. Use the code foul at rowback dot

688
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 3: com for twenty percent off your first purchase. That's foul

689
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: on rho back dot com.

690
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: Here's here's how I'll put a bow on it is.

691
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: The Mets pitching is still very good, and the pitching

692
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: I think looks very solid, and I think people should

693
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with the Mets pitching. The problem right now

694
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: is that they couldn't score the runs, so when the

695
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: pitching gives up those runs, it feels like the pitching's

696
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: falling apart, even though we know that's not the case.

697
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, the Mets offense is good.

698
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna hit better. Wan Soto's heating up. That's a

699
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: positive thing to take out of this. They're going to

700
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: be fine. This is just sometimes you lose baseball games

701
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: to a good team. The Mets were never gonna win

702
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: every single game at home, and now we don't have

703
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: to worry about that bullshit narrative anymore. They could just

704
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: go out and play baseball again.

705
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should also mention the Francisco Alvarez that bat

706
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: also on Wednesday, Like that's happened a few times with him,

707
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: where he just gets very excited, he really wants to

708
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: make any play and he swings out of his shoes.

709
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: He Keith was talking about a lot of the broadcaster

710
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: Gary one of them that when he has the big swing,

711
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: you can kind of see him falling over into onto

712
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: the first base side over the plate.

713
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: That's kind of how, you know, especially from.

714
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: A pitcher's perspective, like you got this guy right where

715
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: you want him, like, throw something in the dirt, give

716
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: me something slow, and he's never gonna he's never gonna

717
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: touch it. And it's a it's not like a Again,

718
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: there's no concern with Francis Gualveras in general, like this

719
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: is one of the most accomplished twenty three year old

720
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: catches in history of pressional baseball, which is kind of

721
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: funny to say, but it's in those situations you would

722
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 2: like someone to be able to pull him aside and

723
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: be like, hey man, like I know that we have

724
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: mound visits for pitchers, I would love a box visit.

725
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: For Francisco Alvarez, if like.

726
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 2: If Seavez could walk out there, even that, even if

727
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: Filadorka walk out there, somebody yay, hey, take give me there,

728
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: Ree Brets like.

729
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you sort just breathe on the inside of

730
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: his helmet.

731
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: Gets yourself into a yoga pos here man, because you

732
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: gotta just chill out for the next like forty five seconds.

733
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: We'll just do put one the other way and trying

734
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: to hit both of them. They get so excited, like,

735
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: I want to I want to win this. I want

736
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: to win this. I want to win this, which I like.

737
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: I like the idea that the execution is always horrible. Yeah.

738
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: The last thing about this series, by the way, last

739
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: thing has nothing to actually do with players, Mets, Diamondbacks.

740
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: This umpiring crew is the worst crew in Major League Baseball.

741
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: Adam Beck, Scott Barry, John Bacon, and Cebe Buckner should

742
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: be ashamed to call themselves that will umpires. First off,

743
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: Seemie Buckner is the worst umpire. Angel Hernandez got all

744
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: the shit. Cebe has been way worse for way longer.

745
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: Has never been a good umpire. He's got the worst

746
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: strike zone. He made one of the most egregiously bad calls.

747
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: Ever on that Tyrone Taylor stolen base on Wednesday night

748
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: where Tyrone beat the ball, the tag was not applied

749
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: in time. His hand never came off the base, not

750
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: even for a millisecond, not even for one million of

751
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: a second was Tyrone off the base? See Bee called

752
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: him safe, then goes wait, never mind, points at the

753
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: hand that was still on the base at the time.

754
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: You're out. Reviewed took way too long on the review

755
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: as well. I was getting worried that they weren't gonna

756
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: overturn it. He doesn't know the rules. He doesn't check

757
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: swings or fifty to fifty, flip a coin. You were

758
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: calling him random number generator. That's just the Cebe Buckner experience,

759
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: and you've heard players go on podcasts and talk about

760
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: it publicly. He is the worst umpire. It's not even close.

761
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: Scott Barry didn't know the count multiple times in the

762
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: game on Wednesday night. He didn't know the rules about

763
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: mountain visits. They couldn't catch foul tips today behind the

764
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: plate with John Bacon and catcher's interference. Like the most

765
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: basic things this oh at the Jesse Winker ground ball,

766
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: the hit office foot clearly, clearly, clearly hit off his foot.

767
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: And as a player, that's an instantaneous reaction. You're not like,

768
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: oh shit, I didn't hit it. Well, oh yeah that

769
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: got my foot. Winker hit it instant It was like, wait,

770
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: what that ball's in play? How am I getting fucked

771
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: again by the umpires. I'm tired of these losers being

772
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: in the game. Give me some fresh guys in here.

773
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: These guys suck.

774
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: The strike zone was so bad by Joe Barry on

775
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: Wednesday that Keith's lamenting Scott Barry, Sorry, Scott Barry.

776
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: Joe Barry, John Bacon. Maybe that's where you're getting it. Yeah,

777
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: which also makes together like the fakest name ever.

778
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: But it's a funny. It's a funny, strong name. That

779
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: name probably kills when you're like eleven years old. Oh

780
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: John is Bacon.

781
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

782
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: But the strike zone was so bad on Wednesday night

783
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: that Keith was lamenting about it for corbyn Burn's sake.

784
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: He felt bad for corbyn Burns, the pitcher pitching against

785
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 2: the Mets and putting up series. He was like, I

786
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: can't even buy one down low? What Yeah, you gotta

787
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: be able to give a get a little strike like

788
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: that where that's a It was just that was a

789
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: frustrating situation, and the fact that it again I'm not

790
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: by no means and it's ever screwed the Mets for

791
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: a second.

792
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no, I'm just saying just

793
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: in general, grand scheme gotta be the worst umpiring. It's

794
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: crazy that Cebe Buckner is a crew chief. He's in

795
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: charge of other men. That's crazy. The guy just watch

796
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: your mouth. He's not even sure sometimes if it's a

797
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: ball or strike when it's down the middle. He's the guy.

798
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: That's a legend him on Baseball Savant, there's pitches down

799
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: the middle and he just stands the Yeah, I don't

800
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: know about that one. He's like, what are you possibly

801
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: looking for? All Right? I think that's it though. That's

802
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: playing a ball in this areas. No enough of that series.

803
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm done with it. Let's talk about playing the Saint

804
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals again, because again, this fucking schedule. You can't

805
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: just play a bunch of different You can't play teams

806
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: throughout the year. You have to play them within two

807
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: weeks of each other. What are the pitching matchups? I'm

808
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: sure we saw them already. Yeah, we did. We did

809
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: see basically half them already.

810
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: So Friday night eight fifteen in Saint Louis, of course

811
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes versus Sunny Gray Beta vanasof Saturday two fifteen

812
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: Marquie James Ciano matchup here Tyler McGill versus Eric Fethi

813
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: and then Sunday Matt and another one two fifteen Andre

814
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: Palante versus a question mark, And that question mark is

815
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: just because again twenty six games, twenty seven days, the

816
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: Mets want to keep these guys on full five days

817
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: rest in their starts, mostly Godi, and we're going to

818
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: get another spot started that day. And there's a chance,

819
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this right now, there's a chance.

820
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: That that is Blade Tidwell. You don't think there's a

821
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: chance that it's Brandon Sproket. They wouldn't give him a

822
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 1: debut on the road. I don't think they would give

823
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: him a debut in the road.

824
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: Also, his last start, which was again against the Wooster

825
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: wo Socks, Sproke ot eviscerated by a lefty heavy lineup,

826
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: where the next day in a double heather blade truck

827
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: got nine batteries and then walk any my boy, and

828
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: in the in that double Heather Also, Justin Hagen had

829
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: pitched the second game of it, So it's going through

830
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: one of those two guys. I'm assuming it's gonna be

831
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: either Blade or Hageman, probably Hagen man if had, probably

832
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: Hagen because right now the Mets forty man is on

833
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: a bit of a crunch. But I'm just I just

834
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: want to put it out there that it does line

835
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: up to be a day that Blade Tidwell could pitch.

836
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: He is pitching relatively well in Triple A, still giving

837
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: up pits and runs, but Triple A those don't matter.

838
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 2: We're seeing strikeouts, not many walks, which is the big

839
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: thing for Blade.

840
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: I want to just put that.

841
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: Into the ether, into the ether that there is an

842
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: outside chance, I'll give it eight percent that you get

843
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: the Blade Tidwell major League debut on Sunday in Saint Louis.

844
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: I just I need to see them met to put

845
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: up a crooked number against Eric Fetty, just for my

846
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: own mental well being. Yeah, he's been terrible because he stinks,

847
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: because he's bad. He's horrible. He's terrible.

848
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: He's lost the feel of the change up that they

849
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: had last year. Changes and feel a feel heavy pitch.

850
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: But wow, what a change up. I know one of

851
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: these this Cardinals team again, we just saw them. It's hard.

852
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: It's not a lot of breaking news beat. No, we're

853
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you guys anything new.

854
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean some some things that's cool. I mean

855
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: coolsh is that like last serious? Thomas to Jason kind

856
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: of got one over on us. He's that backed down

857
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: the minor leagues after thing four hundred.

858
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: Over two weeks. They send him down.

859
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mason wins and Mason went shob he's back up.

860
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: But they kept Luke and Baker, they kept Alec Burrelson,

861
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: and uh, I think we're still gonna miss Evan Herrera.

862
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: He started his rehab assignment, I think Thursday today, May first,

863
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: But I still think we're going to miss him, you know,

864
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: him playing a little center field for this Cardinals team.

865
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: Um no, who this was a classic twenty eighteen prospect

866
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: that James obsessed.

867
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: With, classic twenty eighteen prospect that you're obsessed with. And

868
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: it's not Franchie Cordero, So who could this be? Ryan Cordell? No? No,

869
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: they never never even did close to as much and

870
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: as major league as those. Yeah. Never Yeah, is it

871
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: Jose Berrero, Oh you do love. Yeah, I'd heard about

872
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: him for years from you. I own that might break through,

873
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: might break through.

874
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, center has played a little bit center field

875
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: for them. But again we again just saw this team.

876
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: While they can hit a little bit, we are better.

877
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: Wilson Contreras has finally heated up like he's the regular

878
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: Wilson Contraras up are still playing well.

879
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: Brendon Donald is still playing well. Now they're still playing well.

880
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: Norman Nolan Gorman has kind of moved more into a

881
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: bench roll with a big power. Luken Baker has kind

882
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: of taken that spot. Jordan Walker still hits the ball

883
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: million miles an hour every single day, but can't get

884
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: one through.

885
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

886
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: They had a couple of breakout relievers that some people

887
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: were in on to them, Matt Johnson and then Riley

888
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: O'Brien hold him Matt S Johnson.

889
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: Swonsin s V A N S O N S that

890
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: Isson Yeah.

891
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: Sjhonson, But they both have been hammered over the last

892
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: few days. They do have another breakout reliever who we

893
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: didn't see last time, Kyle Lahey us.

894
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: We hit Pitt against us, but yeah, I think I

895
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: think he was the one who threw a few too

896
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: many fastballs. And then yeah, one of the.

897
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I said he throws kind of hard. And

898
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: then he has like one of the kids. He has

899
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: a he probably has like a starter's repertoire as reliever

900
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: because it's it's a distinct gyro sliders, sweeper, curveball, change up,

901
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: four seams, sinker and he makes them all like a

902
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 2: decent amount.

903
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: It's got decent stuff and do kind of Gordon Grocefo

904
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: still up with them. Yeah, he pitched huge bulk two

905
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: days ago yesterday Wednesday. You might have gotten it down.

906
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: Then he piggybacked off of.

907
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: Matt Steven match looked really good in in rotation. So

908
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: you think we're gonna miss Steve Matts again, which is

909
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 2: a little bit said.

910
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: Shut up. Gordon Grousefo went to Cranford High School.

911
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: Yes, neighbors Nate, neighbors to Mark and James growing up.

912
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: But I don't know if anything else interesting say about

913
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: the Guards team. We just played them week and.

914
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: A half ago. Yeah, no, I mean they just beat him. There.

915
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: Bet we're better, We are simply better. You gotta win

916
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: this series, Like I know.

917
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: This team's gonna be running on fumes for these next

918
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 2: six games between a great a well designed roachrip by

919
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball going to New York Saint Louis no

920
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: off day, and from Saint Louis to Arizona with no

921
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: off day, and I from Arizona backed to New York

922
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: can finally get the beautiful lost day of this team

923
00:34:58,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: deserves so so much.

924
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Don't the Mets play the Rockies like coming up? Like

925
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to play Arizona and Colorado together, the

926
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: teams that are relatively close to each other. You're like,

927
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: you know what, Saint Louis Rockies come here soon, but

928
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: that's that.

929
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: But then maybe yeah, because then we don't really This

930
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: is also nice because we after this don't actually have.

931
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: A real road trip until the beginning of June when

932
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: we go out west.

933
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: Because next it's a nice home stand Cubs pirates talking

934
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: schedule with James and Mark, and then the fabled Yankee

935
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 2: series May sixteen, seventeenth, and eighteenth, and then after that

936
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 2: the money Tuesday Wednesday in Boston.

937
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: So it's Dodgers. That's a fucking chaos.

938
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 2: Well, but then we get Dodgers, White Sox, Rockies home

939
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 2: to Dodgers Rockies Road immediately immediately on the road to

940
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 2: play both the teams you just played against.

941
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: I'd love to know the theory behind that. Like, I

942
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: know there's not a schedule maker anymore, but there's someone

943
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: who presses the puppy, right, if someone inputs what the

944
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: algorithm should be, I'm sure a group of people allegedly. Yeah,

945
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk to them.

946
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 2: So we do it again after that, where at the beginning,

947
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: we haven't played the Braves all season, We won't play

948
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 2: m until June seventeenth, and then bang, you get the

949
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,479
Speaker 2: Braves seven times aven days.

950
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: It's like, so fucking stupid, it's ridiculous. But what do

951
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: you do. What can you say about the schedule? Schedule, schedule,

952
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: you got plays on it, we got we got Frankie

Speaker 1: to talk to us. But we got no Frankie. Lit'll

00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: too quick to record for Frankie today. No Frankie, no Frankie. Hey,
