1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: Mets just wrapped up a three game series out in

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Francisco Lindor, is hot Prospect Report coming at you?

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: And James is back on American soil? That and so

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: much more on this episode of the Mets Up Podcast.

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: What Is Up? Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast. Honestly, don't really like the

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: feeling we lost a series wasn't great, but we ended

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: it well with a nice win on Game three Francisco Indoor,

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: playing better. As we said, we got James back on

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: American soil, so we're glad to be talking to him,

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: although maybe not, I don't know. We hope you didn't

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: bring the jinks back when he got back over here, James,

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: But glad to have you back in New York City

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: and glad to start talking about a little bit of

15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: baseball here because there was a lot to talk about

16
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: in this series, as well as the Prospect Report. But

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: first and foremost, how does it feel to be back?

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: I felt really vindicated that the Mets dropped two games

19
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: my last two days abroad, so I was like, all right, thankfully,

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: like losing those two games on Monday and Tuesday, I

21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: can't be a Jinks coming back. The Mets are one

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: to zero and I'm trying. It's Atlantic though they won

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: when I was in flight today, So maybe I just

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: have to hover above the Atlantic Ocean for the Mets

25
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: to do the best they possibly can. But we'll cross

26
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: that bridge I from when we get to it. It's

27
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: so funny to me that when the most international travel

28
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: comes into New York always winds up a JFK, Like

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: that's the international airport for New York and that place

30
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: is such a fucking pit of despair. Like to introduce

31
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: the world to New York City with that airport, and

32
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: then to go from that airport to the jay train,

33
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: I'm just like, ah, how is this real effort? I'm

34
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: my jay train just now, at like eleven o'clock at night,

35
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 2: there was a teenager with one hand. He had a hook.

36
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: He had a metal hooks instead of a hand that

37
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: were multiple Oh, he have the metal hook instead of

38
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: a hand, right right hand too, and a metal hook

39
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: he's wearing. He's wearing nice, nice white cement Jordan's. And

40
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: then multiple homeless people sleeping. There was European family just

41
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: being very jovial, like three feet away from a sleeping

42
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: homeless man. There was these dudes from outside the train

43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: were cat calling these girls in the train and they

44
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: were like banging on the window and then they gave

45
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: him the finger and then the dudes gave him the

46
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: finger back and everybody started laughing. Was just it was

47
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: a very nice, like bang introduction right back to New

48
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: York City.

49
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not in England or Spain or Morocco or

50
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: Italy anymore. You were back in the concrete jungle that

51
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: is New York City. YEA. JFK probably one of the

52
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: worst airports in the entire world. It's just so terrible.

53
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: Obviously with international flights you kind of can't avoid it's

54
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: that are Newark and going to New Jersey is really

55
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: annoying from where both of us live. But I will

56
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: not take a domestic flight at JFK. Always the Little

57
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Wardy it's so nice there. Now my favorite airport right.

58
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: Now, Lakwidy is amazing, But the JFK is like the

59
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: one of that is just one of the worst airports

60
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: the world, one of the worst places in the world.

61
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: But this Mets series in a very nice place in

62
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: the world. San Francisco, like that yes, and y Booth

63
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: was taking a taking a driver on the scene excites

64
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: The boys did that a weird bit on Lombard Street

65
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: where Steve Gelis was the driver for Keith and Gary.

66
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: Just to keep putting Steve Galla's moonface in his place

67
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: over and over again as much as they can. But weird. Seriously,

68
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: the mess. We told you guys, this Giants team is strange.

69
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: They're weird, They're unconventional, They're not normal. The players in

70
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 2: the lineup, the pitchers in the rotation, the guys coming

71
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: out of the bullpen, everything is really weird. Like they

72
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: they just I just again, we feel like they're kind

73
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: of their backs are against the walls an organization. They

74
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: almost have to make the postseason this year to keep

75
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: everybody around. So they just threw a lot of shit

76
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: against the wall. Got a lot of like these strange,

77
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: like mid level type of players that kind of will

78
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: forever limit them from signing a star because they a

79
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: lot of stars said note to them for the last

80
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: few years. Correa, who I was that was a good

81
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: one for both of the teams just kind of was

82
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: Carls Korea Ball. Thank god, both these teams said no

83
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: to him. But Aaron Judge saying no at the last

84
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: second to them, I'm trying to think that anybody else would. Yeah,

85
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: we though this offseason show, hey, like, but no one

86
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: Bellinger was supposed to be going there. Yeah, but he

87
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: even Bellinger wasn't. He's not on the level of like

88
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: a franchise altering star. He's just like a good player.

89
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: Like I don't think Bellinger Solaier Chapman are really that

90
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: different at the end of the day. But that's kind

91
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: of just where the Giants have been shopping, just trying

92
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: to like spackle this roster together because there are a

93
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 2: lot of interesting pieces. Like you guys saw Logan Web

94
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: up close, who's just he sneaky, might be the best

95
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: healthy pitcher in baseball right now, he's just weird. So

96
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't feel like it, but it's like him him,

97
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler, Jared Jones slipping him in there, Like, I

98
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: don't know who's girl is gonna be on the tier

99
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: one of those guys, I guess slip a Jerry Jones

100
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: Naye for fuck but weird series not just just strange,

101
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: weird way to end the trip.

102
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: Also, I always feel like whenever you go to San

103
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: Francisco never never feels right. I don't know what it is,

104
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: but like the games. Maybe again it's the it's the

105
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: nine ten o'clock start on the East Coast. Not that

106
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: that really matters to me, but I do feel it

107
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: still like watching a game starting it after I have dinner.

108
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I watch baseball while I'm eating dinner, not after I

109
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: have dinner. So it just it doesn't feel right. It's

110
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: got me all messed up. And then just we always

111
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: play weird. We never seemingly play that well there. The

112
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: night games are freezing cold. It's like in the fifties

113
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: forty degrees with that wind always howling, and that's just

114
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: like a hard part to hit in as well. Now

115
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: that being said, like we ran into Logan Webb who

116
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: just absolutely diced us up. One of the best pictures

117
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: in baseball. Glad I didn't listen to your advice to

118
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: not trade for him in fantasy. Take the Mets fan

119
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: cap off there gets me a lot of points every week.

120
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: He looks really good Mets cap on on. That sucked,

121
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: damn it. I wish we could hit this guy, but

122
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: he really is so nasty. And your boy keating win.

123
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: You said, don't Sleep on Keaton Win. Keat Win did

124
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: look really good. I don't really get it, but he

125
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: did pitch well.

126
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: It is funny because you're talking about fancy logan web.

127
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: I just also made a trade for keat and Win

128
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: just because I'd say like part of it was like

129
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: watching some of that game on they was like, hey,

130
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: this guy actually is good. It's more about him having

131
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: He's doing the thing that a lot of pitchers doing

132
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: this year. We're gonna call it the re Garrett where

133
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: he's like, the splitter is going to be my primary

134
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 2: pitch and for a lot of people kind of referring

135
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: to the splitther differently recently as more people are throwing

136
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: it more often now as the split finger fastball, because

137
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: real truthfully, the pitch is a split finger fastball now

138
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: that we're seeing again more and more people in baseball

139
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: uses the primary pitch and Win. Interestingly enough, he threw

140
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 2: so much more in the zone that I think we're

141
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: used to seeing most split the guys throw it. Because

142
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of even though Rerig Garrett throws it primarily,

143
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: it's not that much in the zone. Try to think

144
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: of other guys who are introducing split this. I don't

145
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: think Win's introducing a split the Randy means and he

146
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: might be actually have no idea what his pitchmicks was

147
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: last year, but it's mostly a swing and miss pitch

148
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: and the fact that he was throwing in the zone

149
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: this game almost fifty percent of the time it was

150
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: getting a chase. It wasn't getting that much of a

151
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: chase rate, and Mets were actually making a lot of

152
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: contact on it in the zone and hitting the ball

153
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: hard sometimes. But just that playing off that fastball that

154
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: was getting up to ninety seven with good rise on

155
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: it was just a good It was a good little

156
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: game from Keaton winning. He's the kind of guy who

157
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: just you look up at the end of the year.

158
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: He might only have one good year's whole career, but

159
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: he'll be like, Wow, Keaton Winn just put together a

160
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: three point three ERA season in San Francisco over a

161
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: summer with Patrick Paley behind the plate and good I

162
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: feel the defense behind him, but he just him and

163
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: Logan web But I don't want to put those guys

164
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: in the same calgorys. They're not the same pitchers. But

165
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: they just had the Mets purely in fits. The first

166
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: two games of the series, they almost had felt like

167
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: no chance to score off either of them, and then

168
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: coupled that with pretty bad defense. I feel like behind

169
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: Seve Reino Jose Cantana, it just was a couple of

170
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: games where almost entirely did not feel like the Mets

171
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: had a chance to win either of them.

172
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Mets weren't particularly making a lot of plays

173
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: to help either. You know, even in Game three, like

174
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Peak got a little bit sloppy at the end of

175
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: the game. There were some defensive lapses from this team McNeil.

176
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: McNeil made some weird plays too in this series that

177
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: you normally are accustomed to see him make or not

178
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: making them negatively, Like there was even one that dropped

179
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: it from Severno in Game two when he was technically

180
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: perfect almost through five Severno and that one dropped it

181
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: from him. I was like, oh, like, how did you

182
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: not get to that ball? Weird jump? We'd read whatever

183
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: it was.

184
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: He didn't look very aggressive going after either, And I

185
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: don't know, because maybe it's like a snip snap, snip snap.

186
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: I think with McNeil playing outfield, because he was kind

187
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: of told he wasn't gona play much outfield. Now he

188
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: might be playing a lot more, and baby is just

189
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: not He's not exactly the most flee the foot, so

190
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: he wasn't gonna get out there. And I played where

191
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: there was like mostly a shift and short left. But

192
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: McNeil had a weirder play on Monday where he cut

193
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: in front of Francisco Indoor on the short stop side

194
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: of the second base and just literally kicked a baseball.

195
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: I think he thought he was hopping over it, like

196
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: trying to be kind of tricky, but he quite literally

197
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: just kicked it. It bounced off his ankle and that

198
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: was It made me flashback for a second twenty twenty

199
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: one because the exact same kind of play that made

200
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: Francisco Indoor and fight him in the in the clubhouse

201
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: in the tunnel where he's like, this is my side

202
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: of the bass, please don't come on my side of

203
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: the base, and the door was right behind him going

204
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: to make the play. I don't remember who was running.

205
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: If you had to cut it off, maybe to get

206
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: the out, but even with his momentum going away, it's

207
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: just it was a weird series. It's also weird because

208
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: on this road trip mcdeal has raised his ops one

209
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: hundred points. He has hit probably the best season. In

210
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: the last week, we have some some knob Watch from

211
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: our boy Jordan, Jordan Simpson Sonny Alarms.

212
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Oh see, Jordan could make Jordan could make us a

213
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: little jingle. If he can make us a little jingle

214
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: for knob Watch like knob Watch, and then we're good

215
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: to go.

216
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: I want to say, because he told me he's using

217
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: a different bat, it's he's using completely different bat model.

218
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: He can't find the breakdown description of an online, but

219
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: off the bat no pun intended. It's a much different size.

220
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: Last year he hit between he was using about a

221
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: thirty four to thirty five inch between thirty one and

222
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: thirty three ounces. This you're just swing a thirty three

223
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: thirty one and a half. So it's significally different length bat,

224
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: which I think Jeff has always kind of done well

225
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: with that very long bat. But it's his own signature,

226
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: my law as he said, which is kind of crazy.

227
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: He sent me a picture of pro xr Icon. It's

228
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: like a it's a slanted knob. It's it's it's it's

229
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: kind of it's very knobby. It's a very knobby nob.

230
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: But basically just he's swinging well right now, so the

231
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: bats working out. I actually finally's also hit the ball

232
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: hard this road trip, which Jeff hasn't done this this season.

233
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: And again from last Wednesday to this Wednesday, Jeff McNeil

234
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 2: has raised his OPS one hundred points, went from six

235
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: to fifty to seven thirty seven.

236
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: Huge. He's in his home state. He was nice and comfortable,

237
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: and I mean, like again, this these first two games

238
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of not that much to talk about because relatively speaking,

239
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: the Giants did just beat us. Like, yeah, we said

240
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: there were some plays that could have been made here

241
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: and there, but at the end of the day, like

242
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: you look at the box where you watch the games,

243
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Giants just won. Sometimes that happens in baseball. You just

244
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: lose some games here and there. It does suck that

245
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: Michael Kinfordo did most of the damage to us, and

246
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: you've mentioned it in the preview. But he's he's really good.

247
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: He's completely back. Like I saw him take some swings.

248
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: He had a double I think in the left center

249
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: field gap in Game two against Severino or whoever came

250
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: in after him, and I was like, damn, I really

251
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: missed that swing. Like when when that guy's on he's

252
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: got one of the prettiest swings.

253
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: I feel bad for con Fourth though, because I think

254
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: he as a player has kind of just like missed

255
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: the era where he would have been paid a lot

256
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: of money. Whereas like now, a guy like Canfourthlough who's

257
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: never gonna hit thirty five home runs and doesn't play

258
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: very good defense, is not very athletic. We're just not

259
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: in a point in baseball where that guy's over thirty

260
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: years old and will ever get more than a two

261
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: or three year contract. You get, maybe even more than two.

262
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: I doubt he ever gets out the rest of his career,

263
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: which sucks because he is a good player, and I

264
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: think he's going to have a very nice like I

265
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: don't want to call it twilight. It makes me feel

266
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: like a geezer to call this to twilight. And I've

267
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: been for those career because he's like thirty one thirty two,

268
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: but like he's probably gonna have a five year stretch

269
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: now where he just is a good player on random

270
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: teams across the country as a corner outfielder who doesn't

271
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: really play against every lefty but him and Flora is

272
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: seeing them in this series makes me feel so old.

273
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: People were dropping the stat for Monday because it just

274
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: so happened very ceremoniously that Monday mark the point Wilmore

275
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: Floor is his career where he had played more games

276
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: not as a met than as a met, which made

277
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: me all to sit to the same time feel old, sad, stupid,

278
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: Just all these bad emotions came in at once, or

279
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: I was like why, how could this possibly be true?

280
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: I also want to talk about Starling Martey too on

281
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: the offensive side, swinging the bat well again, especially against Logan.

282
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: Web had a good day against Logan. Webb had two hits.

283
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: I think against Heaton Win as well.

284
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: I want to say, I don't remember if it was

285
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: against Web or Win, but he had dropped a bun single.

286
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: I think it was Web and for some reason with

287
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 2: the ball right in front of him, tried to just

288
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: take second base and the ball no, it was Win

289
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: and the ball scored into like yeah, the back of

290
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: the infield. I I won't even give a short right

291
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: field and he was throwing out by nine steps. So

292
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: I love the ambition from Starling Marte, but just like,

293
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: just steal the bas dude, you don't have to get

294
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: second base. That badly. They're just steal the bag. I

295
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: was I was laughing watching that.

296
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a that was weird play, but he

297
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: was swinging the bat well starting Marte two whole. It's

298
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: work and whatever. We'll keep it going, keep But we

299
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: always did say again disclaimer, we were wrong. But if

300
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Starling Marte hits three hundred withs and eight hundred oh ps, yeah,

301
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: hit two, that's fine, that makes sense.

302
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: That checks, And he's lifting the ball more and he

303
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: has most of his career. He's hitting the ball harder

304
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: and he has most of his career. I don't I

305
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: don't know what's gotten into him. I'm happy it has.

306
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: He's been besides Pete, because Pete has been it's been weird,

307
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: but he's been the best hitter. But he's Day's been

308
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: the most consistent hitter in this Mets team all year,

309
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: which again feels strange, but it's super true, and it's

310
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: just he this team would have. This team's not gonna

311
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: have trouble scoring anyway the next few weeks. Hopefully J. J.

312
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: Martinez actually is back on Friday and he helps like

313
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: kind of glue this lineup together. But without Mark Day,

314
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know where this offense would be. But

315
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 2: also these games he gets tons of hits in Lindora

316
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: and Pete don't aren't driving him in, so nothing really

317
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: comes with it anyway.

318
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only time we saw them really hit together

319
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: was like the Dodgers series, the Pirates series and what

320
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: do you know, the Mets kind of like steam role

321
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: in those two And Lindora has been really good since

322
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: they give him that ovation which we saw in game three. Now,

323
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: since April twelfth, which was the home game against the Royals,

324
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: that was the give Francisco Lindor the standing ovation. All

325
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: six thousand people that were at Sidney Field that day

326
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: gave a standing ovation. Since that day, after the four

327
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: for five, today he's hitting three twenty six with a

328
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: three ninety two on base five to eighty seven slugging.

329
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: He started the year five for fifty nine. I think

330
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: we can understand how insanely bad that is. And he's

331
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: gone sixteen for forty six since that moment, so I

332
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: know the numbers still don't look good for Francisco Lindor.

333
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: But again, we guys, we know if you're listening to us,

334
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: you're not stupid, you're not an idiot, So you know

335
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: that Francisco Lindor is a good bit ballplayer, but spread

336
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: this to your your uncles, your your parents, your friends

337
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: who are like that. Francisco Lindoor. He's overpaid. He had

338
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: fifteen games where he was bad, and he's had fifteen

339
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: games where he's been one of the best hitters in

340
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: baseball over that stretch. Like eb zoom flows, it's a

341
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: long season.

342
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: Just in the last week, just this West Coast road trip,

343
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: he raises OPS two hundred points from like four to

344
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: seventy to six seventy. Like again, it's probably another three

345
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: or four weeks till the OPS is about seven to

346
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: seventy seven ninety eight hundred again just like it quite

347
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: literally always is. And he had tons of great defensive

348
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: plays this series too, tons of also really close plays

349
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: that almost make you frustrated, Like that Nick Ahmed single

350
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: I'll remember if that was off Kentana or Severarino, that

351
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 2: like score two runs, kind of iced a game in

352
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: the fifth end because the Mets couldn't hit in cold

353
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: San Francisco one of those nights. But just like he

354
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: gets the ball I was the only expecting to get to,

355
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: you almost get frustrated. He can't convert them for outs.

356
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: But just like damn, I can't believe he got to

357
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 2: that ball. He had a nice one to they Wednesday

358
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: also in the hole. Just he's just whenever. I don't

359
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: want to like waste bread talking about it, but I

360
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: just I just know he's still really good and very

361
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 2: happy and very confident. Everything just the gas lighting that

362
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: happens for Francisco Indoors cold stretch every single year, and

363
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: then to just when he's really good again and is

364
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: a perennial All Star and will be top five MVP vote,

365
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: then again, its just that's the recipe. That's it's gonna happen.

366
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: Just we have to be ready for the ebs and flows.

367
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, four for five day, two homers for RBI is

368
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: huge part of the win. Along with the good ballplayer

369
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: that is Tyrone Taylor. I could listen, especially with McNeil

370
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: starting to hit a little bit more. Now McNeil's got

371
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: that ops up to seven thirty seven after today's game,

372
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: Tyrone Taylor is hitting three twenty seven with eight sixty

373
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: eight ops. We can't be doing the Joey Wendell experiment

374
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: at second base right now. When McNeil and Tyrone Taylor

375
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: are swinging as well as like, yeah.

376
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: Wedell made a couple of nice players this series. He

377
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: had much better defensive series. And I'm just saying, like,

378
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: I understand you wanted Tyrone Taylor in the field. I

379
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: do too. He just he adds too much his ball

380
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: club because he's not like a bad defender either, but

381
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: especially right now without Francisco Alf, it's like we need

382
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: more offense than defense. I wonder how it shakes now

383
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: with JD coming on the roster. This is a real

384
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: kay ass episode. I've been awake since USA times good. Yeah,

385
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: six am trying to get around it, but not awake

386
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: since the traveling. Since then. Paris Airport had FIFA. I

387
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: tweeted it. They just had what trollers and consoles set up.

388
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: You could just play FIFA. I was playing some provisions.

389
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: It's incredible, it's free. Smoke smoked him good. Yeah, we

390
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: played the Milan Derby. I want to be the guy

391
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: six not thing. It was amazing, but I was He

392
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: spoke not like of English, like I was just trash talking,

393
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: no idea what I was talking about. I was like,

394
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: see that nice one, huh And he was like yeah, yeah, yeah,

395
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: I was like, nice, I appreciate that, but what were

396
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: you talking about baseball? I've been up for like twenty.

397
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: Four j D Martinez, Tyrone Taylor, how does it fit?

398
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm wondering if, just like how we were

399
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: thinking about in spring, how again, just being the creature,

400
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: I am thinking about playing time half because of Fantasy Baseball,

401
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: half because of this show, and just thinking about the

402
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: Metsho's getting the backup center field reps. And it was

403
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: Tyrone Taylor we'veeen nim will get some of them too.

404
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: Harrison Bayers almost played so well that I don't want

405
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: to take him on the field very much. I wonder, now,

406
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: with JD Martinez on the roster and the way that

407
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: DJ Stewart is still hitting, if he winds up getting

408
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: some of these backup outfield reps too, and if Wendell

409
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure Jad Martinez takes Zach Swartz roster spot, so

410
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: then Wendell becomes the rotating infielder. And now if Jeff

411
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: McNeil just becomes basically primarily an infielder again, and then

412
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: DJ Stewart kind of because we've seen him come in

413
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: late a few innings in the outfield the season, I'm

414
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: wondering if he gets a start over the next few

415
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: weeks and he gets the rotating outfield spot, and now

416
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: it becomes kind of him versus Tyrone Taylor for that

417
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: last like playing time spot.

418
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it definitely is. And what makes that

419
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: good too about them battling for that last spot theoretically,

420
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: as weird as it sounds, is that they compliment each other.

421
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: DJ Stewart lefty, Tyrone Taylor righty obviously, which is really good.

422
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: You can put them into different moments, different times, they

423
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: have different values. Tyrone Taylor is obviously mashing. DJ Stewarts

424
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: hit the ball really well this year as well. It's

425
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: a good problem to have. These These are the problems

426
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: we like to have as Mets fans and as as

427
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: an organization. We're like, oh, man, like we we have

428
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: a little we have a few too many guys that

429
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: are a little valuable on this team right now, as

430
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: opposed to being like, man, who do we keep on here?

431
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: Do we keep Zach short or do we call up

432
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: Jose Iglacias, Like what's next?

433
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: Jose Glaciers is not hitting well in the minor leagues either. Well,

434
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 2: it didn't even include him on the prospect or port.

435
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: Obviously he's not a prospect, but yeah, no, of course

436
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: that's also like we're talking about these guys. It's still

437
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: Tyrone Taylor, TJ Stewart, these are still guys who are

438
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: in the fringes fringes of major league roster. Any of

439
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 2: these guys can be on the team in three months,

440
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: but it's still just good players to have Tyron Taylor.

441
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 2: Just I feel like when he's in the line of

442
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: really good things happen. I don't know like his win

443
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: loss record as a starter this year, but I feel

444
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: like it's probably one of the guys who's better on

445
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: the team as the rotational guys.

446
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: It's not definitely a lot better than ye'll finds it. Yeah, udea,

447
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: you can start talking.

448
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to do a little quick seven you

449
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: know breakdown too, because he was overshadowed by Logan Web.

450
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: But as we told you guys in the preview, this

451
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: wasn't a Tyrone.

452
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: In games that he's played in the Mets are eleven

453
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: and seven.

454
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: Eleven and seven just played not even start. That's kind

455
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: of nice guy to get Taylor happened.

456
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: Do you want starts?

457
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sure, if you can find starts. That's almost every

458
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: single win they have. Tyrone Taylor's touched the field. I

459
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: think they wi thirteen or fourteen wins. He's been in

460
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: the field for all of them. That's awesome. But Severno again, guys,

461
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: shame on a lot of the Mets fans that quit

462
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: on sever Reno after he got bab It to debt

463
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: to death in a windy, cold afternoon in Milwaukee, which is,

464
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: weirdly the day I left on this trip, which now

465
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: it's like all coming full circles, like it never happened.

466
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: But those first almost five innings were totally perfect. He

467
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: wound up getting nickel and dime for a bunch of singles.

468
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: We talked about the blooper before a couple of balls

469
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: that scored through the infield. Only four hard hit balls

470
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: at six innings, five strikeouts and three earn runs. Was

471
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: just some good timely hitting by the Giants. And also,

472
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: who's going against the behemoth of Logan Web who you

473
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: just cannot lift the ball or hit hard against him.

474
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: He's he's so much touched with that sinker and change up.

475
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: It's fucking crazy how good he is. But Severino again

476
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: early the season has just trusted his velocity so much,

477
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: filled up the strikes one with it, dared people hit it,

478
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: and they basically have not been able to do it.

479
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: The only times that any rallies have been sustained against

480
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: Severino are these like little blue, little dicky single rallies

481
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: the Brewers game, and then this one and then less

482
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: like my brain so jumbled right now. But oh, for

483
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: this game, severyone threw over sixty percent of his pitches

484
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: in the zone, and almost seventy percent of the pitches

485
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: he threw in total, or wait, seventy percent of the

486
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: pitches he threw in total were fastballs and sinkers. So

487
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: it's just take it, take it, take He got to

488
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: ninety eight a few times, he sat very comfortably right

489
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 2: at ninety five ninety six. He was just letting me,

490
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: letting guys get after it, and they really can't hit it.

491
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: And if we're seeing this, Louis Severrigena right now, and

492
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: he still doesn't even have super good of a feel

493
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: for the new change up, the slider, this sweep or

494
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: the color all these other things, like can they start

495
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 2: up by star basis, if he could just kind of

496
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: tweak some of this these mechanics a little bit, get

497
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: these offste pitches together, like this could be a very

498
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: nice run for Louis Severgan this summer. I'm really looking

499
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: forward to seeing him, hopefully, hopefully just stay on this

500
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: path that he's on, stick have this really nice home

501
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: ballpark that he's never had his entire career, and just

502
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: have a beautiful season, beautiful room this summer. Because everything

503
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: we're seeing right now I was all the foundational building

504
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: blocks of someone who's going to have very good year,

505
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: not fools, gold of all and the full season era

506
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: like five stars in his two point.

507
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: Six seven awesome, really good. Yeah, he's looked really good.

508
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: And he kept us close in that game too, again

509
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: because going up against the logan we're not gonna score,

510
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: Mets almost almost brought it back in the end, but

511
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: then they brought in Camilo dovall. Did you see the

512
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: clip of when Camillo do'vall was warming up maybe the

513
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: scariest moment in baseball in history. He's warming up, they

514
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: cut the lights for his intro, but they cut the

515
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: lights as he's about to throw a pitch to the

516
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 1: catcher in the bullpen and the ball gets released as

517
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: the lights get turned off. Imagine trying to catch Camilo

518
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: Dovall with the lights on. Imagine he turned them off.

519
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, can we talk to the bullpen catcher? Is

520
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: he okay? Did he make the play?

521
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 2: He threw one of the crazies wild pitch I've ever

522
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: seen in my life in that game too. It might

523
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: have been Tuesday, Monday. I remember what to say the

524
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: intro was because these games are happening at like four

525
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning for England time, where I was.

526
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: But just he spiked the ball so badly, like one

527
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour. It's funny watching a lot of

528
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: these condensed game replays. A lot of Giants fans do

529
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: not like Camilo Dovall, which is hilarious. He's one the

530
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: most disgusting. There were so many YouTube comments about, like

531
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 2: I don't trust Vaal, Like we need we need a

532
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 2: real closer, we need a better closer. We're like we're

533
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 2: going like three years back that where the guy's been

534
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: basically unhit Leave one of the most sturdiest relievers in baseball.

535
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: He throws demon pitches. He's he's so fun he's he's

536
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: one of he's one of my reliever crushes. You know

537
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: that he has been for a long time. It's just

538
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: he's such a freak of nature. Especially gumbing him after

539
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: Tyler Rodgers. It's fucking stupid. It's not there. And also,

540
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: for some reason, across all of baseball, nobody hit can

541
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: hit Tyler Rodgers except for the Mets. I don't know why,

542
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: but for the last two years we always get to

543
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: Tyler Rodgers. Nobody else in baseball gainst him for even

544
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: a moment.

545
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what it is, mate, I wish

546
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: I could tell you what it is. I simply have

547
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: no clue. It doesn't make any sense because, like you said,

548
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: nobody touches a Mets. Keep that era a little bit

549
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: high for him. Speaking of another good reliever, our man

550
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: read Garrett look human today, but also his human was

551
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: still pretty disgusting.

552
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: So disgusting. I want to shout out my guy TJ.

553
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: Stats Thomas Nesiko. He's I talked about him a lot.

554
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 2: He does his own like stuff plus daily for pitching.

555
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: He put out. Agreed Garrett, the that went like hyper

556
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: viral for a couple of days ago. He tagged me

557
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 2: it too, because I interact with him a lot. He

558
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: was like yeah, James Hwan, I think you're gonna like

559
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 2: this thread. And he also tagged me with them. Jared Sidler,

560
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: who's a Mets fan but who does the prospect stuff

561
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: for baseball perspectives. Very curmudgeony does not like me at all.

562
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: I tried to interact with him in the past. Yes,

563
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: he will never, will, never will ignore me every single

564
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: thing I say. I definitely hate him, so I would

565
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 2: love to hear how. I'm sure upset he was that

566
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: he was tagged with me in a post about like

567
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 2: a fun relief pitcher on the Mets. But guys, Regarrett,

568
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: he just he is just says fuck fastballs. I'm not

569
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 2: throwing him ever. Another start where he only threw four

570
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: sinkers for fastballs. This is actually much more percentage wise

571
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: than he has in anytime this year. And he got

572
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 2: his hot hardest to fastball this season and nd eight

573
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 2: point four miles an hour he was so it's kind

574
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: of like he just he uses those fastballs in such

575
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: a cool way where they're just like Andrew Bailey said this,

576
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: I've talked about a few episodes ago where if you're pitching,

577
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 2: think of it like boxing, and your fastballs are Japs,

578
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: and we heard we've heard like Schuzer and Erliner talk

579
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: about this too, and Christy even Christy Matthewson back in

580
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: the day undred years ago, where it's just like you

581
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: sit where you want to sit with your fastball, but

582
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: you need another edge for that fastball because sometimes you're

583
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: throwing a fastball for the guy that mad contacts, sometimes

584
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 2: throwing a fastball to get a swing and miss. And

585
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: he got one forgot Righarrett was maybe sol Air right

586
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: when he came into the game. He got swinging miss

587
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: early and on that bat right when and I came out,

588
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: and man, I looked so mad to come out of the

589
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: game in four and two thirds inndings, he looked so

590
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: he looked so pissed. These are the other hundred pitches

591
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: he kept walking, guys.

592
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: Robson, Carls Mendoza. That was the right time to take

593
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: him out. He was he had to come.

594
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: Out there totally. And he and these teumm and I

595
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: starts when they're so funny because he's just throwing shit

596
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: at the sink. Like he threw a lefty, lefty sweeper

597
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: that can forthough that ended up like right on his hands.

598
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: Before was like what the hell. They have bad swing

599
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: on it. But it's just so fun to watch riguartt

600
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 2: He's doing all these crazy pitching things. I was talking

601
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: about the velocity thing like he he was holding his

602
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: velocity today really well. The splither is just he did again.

603
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: He only threw one of them in the strike zone

604
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 2: out of nine that he threw, and it somehow was

605
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: a pitch that was still just not not letting the

606
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: Giants do any damage on it at all. He did

607
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: give up the one home run, the first and run

608
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: of the sea the Tyler fucking Fitzgerald of all people

609
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: said it he did. Would you say he's gonna do

610
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: something to us? Last episode was like, I don't know,

611
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: Tyler Fitzgerald, never heard of him. He's gonna do something

612
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: this yearies, I know he will, and he know a

613
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: wall scriperro Free Guarrett give his first turn run of

614
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: the year, which sucks, but also like whatever it's it

615
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: was a ready ready, like look look cut gyrislide. That

616
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: just was right like mid middle in on him. He

617
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: just put it up in the air, but bab was

618
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 2: flying flying to that in San Francisco. It's just he's awesome.

619
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: He's he's I'm not even trying to like be like crazy,

620
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: be sarcastic, be hyperbolic. He's been the Mets team MVP

621
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: this year. I think this team probably three or four

622
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: fewer wins if he's not on this team, or if

623
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: he's not, if he's like last year's version of Reghar said,

624
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: this year's version of Recarrett like he's fully taken the

625
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: league by storm. Fans, baseball people are talking about him.

626
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: Pitching data people are talking about him. It's all very real.

627
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say every single episode because he's just he's

628
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: fucking awesome. I'm so happy we have him.

629
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: You know, Reed, Garrett was an MPB guy, right and

630
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: then came back to America. Did you know what? I

631
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: know not know that.

632
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: I feel like we probably talked about that. I mentioned

633
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: that last year, but something that's just not in my

634
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: mind whatsoever.

635
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe he played for the CEBU Lions because

636
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: I've been seeing the Yaku Cosmopolitan guy tweeting about him.

637
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: He's like another former MPB guy to win well out

638
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, just saying pretty good league. But yeah, Reed,

639
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: Garrett's been incredible, and you know who else has been incredible.

640
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: An about Avino again just keeps saying big outs for us,

641
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: three strikeouts and the inning in the third. He was

642
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: so insanely not that good last year, and then like

643
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: he was so good in twenty twenty two, not that

644
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: great last year. This year he's been so money another

645
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: guy like that's just keeping this bullpen so solid, so

646
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: important for him to play well. And I like that

647
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: they got their work too, got Diaz in the game,

648
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: who again looked human, wasn't really throwing that hard again

649
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: ninety four ninety five miles an hour, which is are

650
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: we concerned yet or is that just him being like

651
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: it's April, I'm not gonna start pushing it just yet.

652
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 2: He did get to ninety seven and a half today,

653
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 2: which I think is either the hardest or second hardest

654
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: pitch he's thrown so far this season. He's been leading

655
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: on the slither more, and I think that I'm I'm

656
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: significantly more concerned with his slider right now. His slider

657
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: doesn't feel like it has the same kind of maybe

658
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: just because the fastball isn't coming in his heart, doesn't

659
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: have the same same gradient of velocity. But that's the

660
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: pitch that seems like it's not getting as many swings

661
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: and misses. The hitters are squaring up more often than

662
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: they have get today, I think it was it was

663
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 2: nubbed around a few times. But the team still says

664
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 2: they're not concerned about it all. Edwin still says, I'm

665
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: very literally shaking off for us thrown. I haven't thrown

666
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: competitive pitches in a full year, like, and he still,

667
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 2: as we say, he looks human, has ra at one

668
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: through the first half of the season. So it's like,

669
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 2: really not even even half a concern whatsoever. It's just

670
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: it's very cool the way this bullpen's being held together.

671
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 2: And we've talked about having blue guys hold his bullpen together.

672
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: Regarritt has simply been the glue guy. Like the fact

673
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 2: that they he can come in and they can rely

674
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: on him for how many two thirty four pitch that

675
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: you don't have to view through twenty six I guess

676
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: the off day on Thursday, so you could do that.

677
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: But recaracter is having these thirty pitch outings is amazing

678
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: and that's something that this team hasn't really done, I

679
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 2: guess intentionally the last few years. The Buck Billy Eppler Show,

680
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: they weren't really weren't really thinking a ton about stuff

681
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 2: like this, but just having these guys that kind of

682
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 2: blend your starters and relievers together are really, really, really

683
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: important for keeping worklows down, especially when we have a

684
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: starting rotation. And we've talked about a lot. These are

685
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: not deep game pictures like Jose Kintana's just like he's

686
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 2: just grinding it out. He got saved by Alfonso Marquez

687
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: and a lot of at bats where he probably should

688
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: have walked guys. We wound up just striking guys out.

689
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: Looking usually when you get that many backwards K's it's

690
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: more about the umpire than the pitcher, and it just

691
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: seemed like a game where he got bad at a

692
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: few times, and Ma and Iya too. It's just like

693
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: he does what he does, but he has he has

694
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: like one system, one method, and if it's not working,

695
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: he's gonna grind and like the stuff is pretty good usually,

696
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: but it's just really right now besides sever you know,

697
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 2: and weirdly boo though, it's just none of these pictures

698
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 2: are like attacked. These aren't attack type pictures Like these

699
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: aren't pictures that are coming at you. We're gonna do

700
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: anything to stay in the game, even watching Logan web throws. Yeah, exactly,

701
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: watching him. Yeah, they're fall for watching looking wet through anything,

702
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 2: and I was like, wow, that must be nice. I

703
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: would love that for myself.

704
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a miscoded I sega definitely last little bit

705
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: from the games as well. Sean Reids fully back on

706
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: the roster, pitched in Game one, got up to ninety six,

707
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: which is great to see from him. We know you

708
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: were a big fan of his in spring with the

709
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: stuff that he was showing. And Josh Walker back onto

710
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: the Mets roster because of course Brooks really on the il.

711
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: We like to carry lefties around. He's not the second

712
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: lefty on the roster. You know me, I'm always a

713
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: big Josh Walker fan. I know he like box all

714
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: the time, Like weirdly had like four Boks last year.

715
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: I think that's just Buck making him tight. I'm gonna

716
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: be honest. But he got up to ninety five as well,

717
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: so that's that was a good thing. I'm a big

718
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: Josh Walker guy, big, big friggin dude to Josh Walker,

719
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: big dude.

720
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: The lady's gotta love Josh Walker. It looks like a

721
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: fireman or something. He's like just a fucking beast. But

722
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 2: we also we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about

723
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: the fact that this whole Brett Baity thing. He's looking

724
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: not that good again, and I'm definitely starting to get

725
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: a kind of tiny bit worried about what the what

726
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: the future actually means for him.

727
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: He did have that weird hamstring thing, and I don't

728
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: know if you've noticed when he's running, he's not running

729
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: that particularly well right now. So I think tomorrow is

730
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: a huge off day for them. Don't play come back Friday.

731
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: I guess we'll talk about the pitching matchups when we

732
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: get to the series preview here. But let him Let

733
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: him get a full day off back in New York,

734
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: get get home, get come figet, a little massage, whatever

735
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: he's gotta get. I'm sure that's bothering him a little bit.

736
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: It kind of felt like it was. He still is

737
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: the average up, like the average isn't going down, but

738
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: there is no extra bass hip hop right now.

739
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: It's just he a lot. It's weird because right now

740
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: the results are better eve Thn. The ops is sinking

741
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: like a stone. But last year, a lot of the

742
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: underlying things he was doing better, he's not really doing anymore.

743
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: Like it's kind of he's he's chasing one and he

744
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: was last year. He's not htting the balls hard, he's

745
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: not lifting, he's not looking the balls much, not pulling

746
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: the balls much anymore. Like it's a lot of the

747
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: things that were that gave me more hope last year

748
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: when it looked worse, are not happening now, even as

749
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: these results are better. It's again, I just I see

750
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: that he's still confident. I think he's at bats like

751
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: overall are better, Like even though he's chasing more often,

752
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: but when I watch him, he seems like he's more

753
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: in control of his at bats. He seems like he's

754
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: just more confident, working deeper intoccounts. So I'm not I'm

755
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: not like pressing the panic but saying anything, but just

756
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: I wanted to. I just wanted to mention it because

757
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: something I've seen, something I've noticed, just we're getting into

758
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: a point in the season where a lot more stats

759
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: are stabilizing now, Like we're a guy like Brandon Nimo.

760
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: If you guys go into Savan Page, it's like it's

761
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: pure sex. Like there's no doubt in my mind that

762
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: he's gonna start lacing the ball even he keeps hitting

763
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: the ball hard and he keeps finding gloves like he

764
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: just he just can't kind of break through right now again,

765
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: like the same starting Marte where it's like he's lifting

766
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: the ball more, he's pulling the btle Moore, he's haitting

767
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: it harder, like things are, things are happening where I'm confident,

768
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 2: Like the last thing that's gonna stabilize for these guys

769
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: this season is gonna be the power metric. It's gonna

770
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: be the bad ball stuff. Like, but everything we're seeing

771
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: in terms of per pitch, chase, zone contact, like that's

772
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: all stuff.

773
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: Sixteen percent walk rate, Nemo, Like yeah, like everything.

774
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't even be I couldn't even be less less

775
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: worthy about brand Nimo right now. I'm like I did

776
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: nothing I'm less worried about in the world and brand Nemo.

777
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: But the baby stuff is just like the swing decisions

778
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: are worse than they ever have been. The segra metric

779
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: I've talked about a few times on this h Robert

780
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: Loorre from Baseball Perspective segra metric, which is made major

781
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: media headlines like here Gary talking about it last weekend too.

782
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: But but baby is lasting baseball in that, So just

783
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: gonna say that. Just gonna say that and leave it

784
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: there and then just like, keep being confident in our

785
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: and our boy.

786
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: Keep being confident in our boy. Keep a hopefully he

787
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: stays confident as well. That's all we want now to

788
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: talk about the prospect report because we got some prospects

789
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: to talk about. Adrian Hauser. Conversation right now, Mets World, like,

790
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: if he continues to pitch like this, is he going

791
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: to stay in the rotation? What do you do with him?

792
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: Especially when Christian Scott is making it really really hard

793
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: to not be on the major league roster.

794
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: Another game for Christian Scott where it's just he's it's

795
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: so apparent that he's very ready for what this is.

796
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 2: He pitch into the seventh inning for the first time

797
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: in the minor league season, six and the third, eight strikeouts,

798
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: just one walk, tour in runs, ten swings and misses

799
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: on eighty five pitches again getting to seventh thingning and

800
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: eighty five pitches, and if you look at his pitch

801
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: cons per game, it seems very obvious if the Mets

802
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: are trickling him up. He went from the fifties to

803
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: the sixties to seventy five and now eighty five. So

804
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: I think they're just getting him ready for one hundred

805
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: pitch workload, probably before he gets to the major leagues,

806
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: which is again there's I think that's different than how

807
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: we saw David Sturts bring pitchers in. Maybe it won't

808
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: be that way. Maybe it's just him doing workless stuff.

809
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: But he really is only going to have one hundred

810
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: and ten innings this season total because he only w

811
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: throw eighty five last year and he's only two years

812
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: away from being a reliever at the University of Floor

813
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: The throwing a sinker, So it's just it's not there's

814
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: not that many bullets in him, which is another reason

815
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 2: why I think maybe that they're not used as many

816
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: in these minor league gatherings like this is by far

817
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: his longest. But this was another very weird game for him,

818
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: where you see the strikeouts and the no walks, but

819
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: there was another home run he gave up and the

820
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 2: two and like with the two hour in runs, but

821
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: that was the only damage that was even close to

822
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 2: be done against him. He did play the Columbus Clippers,

823
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: which happens to be a very left handed, heavy minor

824
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: league lineup with a couple like quasi major leaguers in there,

825
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: one being Kyle Menzardo who hit the home run off

826
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: of Christian Scott and just looking at his like looking

827
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: at the pitch charge of this game, he very much

828
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: didn't have a feel at all for his change up

829
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: for as gyro slider, which he uses a lot against lefties,

830
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: because against the riighties he was only throwing fast ball sweepers.

831
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: The only two pitches that righty saw that game. Didn't

832
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: there any righty rdy change ups either, any ready righty

833
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: gyro sliders, but the change ups were way off the

834
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: plate and low. The sliders were left a couple of

835
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: them up like it wasn't it wasn't a good mix

836
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 2: of those pitches. I think the home run he gave

837
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: up two Mensar though, was a slider that he hung

838
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: up a little bit. And this is something I talked

839
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: about with Christian Scott in the spring, something that like

840
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: after watching him pitch a few times, became apparent where

841
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: he's just the strikeout walker. It's amazing because he just

842
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: fills up his own because he's a bulldog. He's very

843
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: confident in stuff, but it's it's very much control over command,

844
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: like he's not dotting corners, and that's how you get

845
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: into trouble with these home runs. Again, the stuff is

846
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 2: so good right now against Triple A hithers, I think

847
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: that's fine, but I definitely wonder how that translates to

848
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: the major leagues. I think about another guy who felt

849
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: similar to Christian Scotch coming through the minor leagues, and

850
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: as Brandon Fott, who was very similar to Scott, where

851
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: his fastball was really good against Triple A hitters, but

852
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: it has not been good against major league killers. Scott's

853
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 2: fastball is I think is better than Fott's, has better specs,

854
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: has better moving profile on as a better release point.

855
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: And fot did something great with Brent Strom where he

856
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: moved his side to the side of the rubbers. He's

857
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: more of a running fastball and rising fastball, so that

858
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: running fastball moved over the first base side was better

859
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: against right of these but again not similar things, but

860
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: a similar concept to where it's control over command. He's

861
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: not dotting corners. That's not something that he has. That's

862
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 2: not a skill in his repertoire right now, So I

863
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: do wonder how one of these hitable fastball is. And

864
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: then the home run thing is where too. I really

865
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: want to dive deep in this home run thing because

866
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 2: on the minor league season, Christian Scott has given up

867
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: eleven hits and six of them are home run. That

868
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense to me. It's not normal. It's

869
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: bizarre and stupid.

870
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: I'll counter that with two different things. One, they're still

871
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: using the juice baseballs and triple A. We know that

872
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: they're still using those balls out there they have the

873
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: last few years. Two, I don't know, man like Justin

874
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: Verlander gives up a shit on a home runs, Garrett

875
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: Colden for a while, chick up the ground because Max

876
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: Schurzer gives up like thirty home runs a year. Those

877
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: guys are predominant. I'm not saying Christian Scott is on

878
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: the same level, but just the idea of like sometimes

879
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: home runs are just kind of bullshit, like in that

880
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: good pictures give up home runs. It's obviously great when

881
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: you're like a Logan Web who can be a good

882
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: pitcher and you don't give up home runs because you

883
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: then kind of always miss those blow out games. In

884
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: a way, it's a lot harder to blow those guys up.

885
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: But what Christian Scott does really well that you mentioned

886
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: is that he is filling up the strike zone. Like

887
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: his damage is pretty much home runs and he's not

888
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: walking guys, so it's not like there's guys on base

889
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: when he give those home runs. So to me, that

890
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: makes me kind of go like, I don't fucking care.

891
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to me. It is weird, though, it

892
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: is weird how many home runs he has given up,

893
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: but I think that almost is more of just a

894
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: weird sample sized thing. And when he gets to some

895
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: of these minor league stadiums, they do have some joke

896
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: dimensions at some of these parks as well.

897
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: Okay, well I have that because I went through every

898
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: single home run that Christians got given up this year,

899
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 2: and because we talked about last episode that he gave

900
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: one up to Oscar Colos won to Danny Mendick, and

901
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: the Danny Mendick one was ninety two mile on Irex

902
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: velosity and Oscar Cols was like ninety seven to the

903
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: opposite fields. I was like, this is ridiculous. I also

904
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: had my note that home run the Mints are there

905
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: was a fastball so again, this is a game where

906
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: he faced the Lion that was two thirds lefties. He

907
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: didn't have feel for either of his pitches that he

908
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: usually uses to get lefties out, and he was just

909
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: throwing his fastball. That's it's good fastballs now, a great

910
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: Fastball's a fine fastball, probably objectively his worst pitch, but

911
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: just he was relying on it, and that ball was

912
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 2: hit out of the park. But again, only one hundred

913
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: mile an hour average ex velosity, and it's just these

914
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: ratios again. Giving up four walks so far in the

915
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: Triple A season, six home runs and eleven hits is bizarre.

916
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: And four of the six players who fit home runs

917
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 2: off him in the minor leagues this year have at

918
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: least been in the major league. I have major league

919
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 2: play appearances. It's gonna be guys like it's been. It

920
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: was Danny Mendick, it was Vison Pereira. But it's like,

921
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: these are guys who are on the upper echelant of

922
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: Triple A talent. Because we talked a lot of shit

923
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: about Triple A talent, but these are the guys who

924
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 2: are there, who are like waiting for major league jobs.

925
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 2: And one of the other six columns are by all accounts,

926
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: should be the major leagues by now is just the

927
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 2: Guardians manipulating a service time.

928
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: And Josh Naylor has been awesome.

929
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Josh Nayler are sick. I mean, I mean the

930
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 2: team can't use the DH I'm sure they could. They's

931
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: not like that. I guess they actually are playing really

932
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: well right now, so I shouldn't be so mean to Cleveland.

933
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: Go Cleveland. But only one ball, only one of the

934
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: home run balls off Christian Scott in the minor leagues

935
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: this year has been hit hard than one hundred five

936
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: miles an hour, and only one of them was hit

937
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 2: over four hundred feet. So these the home runs are

938
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: a thing right now, and the command over controls the

939
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 2: thing right now. But like I'm kind of sussed out

940
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: by all of these. I really think part of this

941
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: is the baseball and part of this just minor league bullshit,

942
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't be really concerned about that. I would

943
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 2: be a little more concerned again with the control over

944
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 2: command stuff if he starts throwing these fast balls middle

945
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: the middle to major league hillers like they're gonna get pounced.

946
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: But just we're now going on the second year in

947
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: a row where Christians guy's leading all minor league pitchs

948
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 2: to strike on ice walk right He's at thirty nine

949
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: percent strike on ice walks right now, which is taking

950
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: your strike out rate and subtracting your walk rate, so

951
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: forty percent on that.

952
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: What Paul Skens doesn't have better than that? This isn't

953
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: Paul Skans striking out like fifty eight percent and walking ten.

954
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: I saw that directly from a Michael Mayor tweet, so

955
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: maybe maybe I haven't. I didn't checked the stats I was.

956
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 2: I did this in the Paris Airport today in between

957
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 2: games of FIFA. That's where I got these notes.

958
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: But I hate to call you out from that, but

959
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: I think Paul Skeens might have him beat. That's the

960
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: only thing I'm gonna say. But we'll blame Michael Mayer.

961
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: I'll check that one because I have. I have a

962
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 2: Paul sken stat here next, because there's another met that's

963
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: directly behind Paul Skeens and a stat which is really cool.

964
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: But it's just he's very ready for the major leagues

965
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 2: right now. It's just kind of a waiting game for him.

966
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 2: We're waiting out Super two. It's gonna happen soon. I

967
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: think there's probably a world where Houser maybe does get bounced,

968
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: But they were also living a world where Pittrier gets

969
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: injured every single day, So I'm sure this will just

970
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 2: happily work itself out like everything always seems to do.

971
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 2: But he's gonna come to the major league soon. He's

972
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: going to be productive when he gets here. Oh my god. Yeah,

973
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens is fIF fifty percent track on his walker.

974
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: That's what I was saying. How did he watch that? Sad?

975
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: So bad?

976
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: Maybe I just misread it because I haven't slept in

977
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: like two days. Maybe it was just in the Mets system.

978
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: But I'll blame him. I don't really want to blame him.

979
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens has left every single player on base this year.

980
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: He's not giving up a run out of minor league.

981
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: What a fucking freak's Oh.

982
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna He's gonna come up to the majors

983
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: at some point and be the top fifteen pitcher in

984
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: the league automatically.

985
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 2: That's amazing. But just the confidence right now and having

986
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: Christians gots high. Maybe he doesn't walk in and be

987
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 2: an ace like I don't think he's like Jared Jones

988
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: or Paul Skeins. He walks into the league. I think

989
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 2: he's gonna come in and be quite good, And I'm

990
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: very confident in that assessment.

991
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: That's fine. He doesn't need to be that ace right now.

992
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: Like let that that can come with development, That can

993
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: come with time. He's still so young in his pitching career.

994
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: Another guy who's young in the pitching career Noel McLean. Now,

995
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna talk about the pitching side of things,

996
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: but he's hitting. He's also breaking like rushing. Is this

997
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: a real thing that the Mets are trying or were

998
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: actually trying to develop him as a two way player

999
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: because he's got twenty at bats, two home runs, mashing

1000
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: at the plate. It's it's kind of kind of really cool.

1001
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams that draft these two way players.

1002
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: Like Reggie Crawford got drafted by the Giants. They decided

1003
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a one way guy. They're not doing

1004
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: two way with him. Brendan McKay was another big prospect

1005
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: that the Rays had years in the past who was

1006
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: a massive two way player in college. They decided he's

1007
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a pitcher. It's pretty interesting to see that

1008
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: Noel McLean's getting to run it out on both sides right.

1009
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: Now, and it's still in single A Brooklyn, So I

1010
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 2: think there's still a long way to go. His pitching

1011
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: is getting so good that eventually there might be a

1012
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: point where they're just like no. But like we've seen

1013
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: other great two way players like not be able to

1014
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: like not teams not even let them try. J. D. Davis,

1015
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: Jay Cronenworth, Michael Lorenzen was not even that long ago.

1016
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: I saw him. Actually, he was doing hitting drills this

1017
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 2: offseason at Drive Line because he was a free agent

1018
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: for so long Nospring Training. There a full hitting assessment.

1019
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: He was smoking the ball. But the fact that the

1020
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: Mets are letting him do this amazing. You want to

1021
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: shut out Another friend, Another listener to the podcast talk

1022
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: about Hi last week, Isaac Groffman. He did another big

1023
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: threa last week about Joan Tong this week about Noel McLean,

1024
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: and he camped him to Otani and he was like, yeah,

1025
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: I did that for the engagement and it super well.

1026
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 2: He almost got a million impressions on it, and so

1027
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: a great job doing the social media game there. But

1028
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 2: the only thing about McLean's the hitter, which is the

1029
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: thing about him in college is he's super all or nothing.

1030
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: Eleven strikeouts and no walks in twenty play the appearances,

1031
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: so seven hits and eleven strikeouts is kind of boxers

1032
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 2: to think about it. That's just a live aviod block.

1033
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 2: But also he hits a piss out of the ball,

1034
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 2: which we has have lost the on him. But he's

1035
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn and not Saint Lucy, which is even saying

1036
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: something about his development. But this pitching, this was the

1037
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: most encouraging start that he's had as a professional. He

1038
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: completed five innings for the first time, He's never even

1039
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: completed four before that went with only giving up two

1040
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: hits nowhere and runs, six strikeouts, one walk on sixty

1041
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: six pitches. And I want another shout out to my

1042
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 2: guy prospect Hilt. He's been charting these double A and

1043
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 2: high A games. I talked about him last episode. I

1044
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 2: told him on Twitter. I'm like, hey, dude, you're doing

1045
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 2: great work, but shout you out in my podcast like

1046
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: you're incredible. He's like, wow, thank you so much. And

1047
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 2: he listens back. He was like, thank you, that was amazing.

1048
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: But there seems to be very rapid development happening here

1049
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: with Noel MacLean to where it seemed like he was

1050
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 2: going to be a project. Where now it's like, oh,

1051
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: he's gonna be pitching and starting a double A this year,

1052
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: and like it's totally on, like bust, shout out, buster,

1053
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 2: only that's have no high end pitching prospects, but nothing

1054
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 2: never not in this star. McLean's truck out five of

1055
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: the first six batters he faced. He sat a very

1056
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 2: comfortable ninety five, ninety six, touch ninety seven, and his

1057
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: one walk was a nine pitch battle with multiple foul

1058
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: balls to three to two count. All all this from

1059
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: prospect Tel. Dude's a dog. He charged every single at

1060
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 2: batan Noel McLean had he's addicted to the best pitching

1061
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 2: development right now. But some other great notes he had

1062
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 2: that like we're not going to see in the box score,

1063
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 2: that I think are really encouraging from someone who's basically

1064
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: learning how to be a starting pitcher. He worked really fast,

1065
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: he said he would get the ball, get ready to

1066
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 2: go next pitch. Was like a bulldog out there. He

1067
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: was just going straight at guys. One slider was so

1068
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 2: nasty that it hit a lefty in the foot and

1069
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: he swung at it, which is pretty six Yeah, and

1070
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 2: he's with me in the take. I think I've heard

1071
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: other people saying this now too, where I feel like

1072
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,479
Speaker 2: I might have been the first one to this, where

1073
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 2: like he the fastball slider combo is so good he

1074
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: could be major league believer right now, and like he

1075
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: would probably be one of like the twenty best in baseball,

1076
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: Like does that combination is literally that good?

1077
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: Wasn't it Matt Eddie who told us that his spin

1078
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: rate on the slider was like would have been like

1079
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: easily the best in major That was you, okay in

1080
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball?

1081
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: Like the Britain the breakout game.

1082
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that he was just he was so disgusting in

1083
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: that and you totally see it, like he does have

1084
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: that high octave arm that that splitter it or slider

1085
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: is just devastatingly nasty to see him go from a

1086
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: guy again. When we spoke to mad Eddie originally talking

1087
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: about him, yeah, like he was like he's a project.

1088
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna see what he does. But there's encouraging signs

1089
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: of what maybe he could be. But it feels like

1090
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: the ceiling keeps getting raised. And raised and raised higher

1091
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: and higher and higher with this guy, which again fucking

1092
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: Eric Jaegers, Jeremy Hefner, the pitching Lab. Give them all

1093
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: the money, Steve Cochen, Give them all the money whatever

1094
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: they want.

1095
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: Don't let him believe and we had give him all

1096
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: the money. The Mets are spending like so much more

1097
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: in player development than most other teams at base partright now.

1098
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 2: That's something we've talked about in this show that as

1099
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: MLB and all the owners are gonna tack Steve Cohen

1100
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 2: not let him spend money on the major league team

1101
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 2: on the field, there's no limit to how much you

1102
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: could spend out coaches, on technology, on development and all

1103
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: this stuff. Steve is spending so much of it. That's

1104
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: the beautiful he's doing for this organization. That's why when

1105
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 2: all these idiots say that you're the same as the

1106
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 2: Wolf PA's blah blah blah, you're totally fucking wrong, because

1107
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: we're I.

1108
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: Remember his comment about prospects. He said they're the best

1109
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: investment you could ever make. He's like prospects like, He's like,

1110
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: I make so much money on prospects, why would I

1111
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: not want them to be good? Because think about it.

1112
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: If you can get those three or four years of

1113
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: the minimum pay at the major league level and they're

1114
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: a good major league players, something that we've talked about

1115
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: the Mets desperately lack, which we need some of those cheap, young,

1116
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: good players. It's like I'm making hand over fist. I'm

1117
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: making so much money.

1118
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 2: The Mets are always famous for like having really good

1119
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: scouts and not doing anything else when they got to

1120
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: the minor leagues. And I think Steve has added like

1121
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: thirty forty fifty development and like coaches, analysts, and I

1122
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: think we're probably spending like I'm not even trying to

1123
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: be like hyperbolic again here, we're probably spending seventy five

1124
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 2: two hundred times more money per year on players development

1125
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 2: than we were under the Wolfpods. It's not that's not

1126
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: something to sneeze at. And like we're seeing these results

1127
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 2: happen fast. We're seeing this turn out quickly, like we

1128
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: haven't really seen it for like a hitting prospect yet,

1129
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 2: but the fact that we're doing these prosper reports every

1130
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: single week, and every single week there's like four or

1131
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: five pitchers who are doing like stupidly amazing shit, like

1132
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 2: it's so it's so fucking real. Like this guy Nolan

1133
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: McLean was a two way player in the Big Twelve.

1134
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: He was a power hitter, struck out a lot and

1135
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: a reliever and he just threw sixty six pitches and

1136
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 2: crushed at a high A star. He's like getting gearing up

1137
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: to be a double A pitcher. Suit, we're a double

1138
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: A pitcher. You're like ready for the major League, Like

1139
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 2: if you go to the Arizona Fall League this year,

1140
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 2: like that's incredible. Like the the wins and player development

1141
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: that we're having earlier this season are so fucking good.

1142
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 2: It all goes back to also with the pitching because

1143
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: we're game planning so well to major league level. Guys

1144
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: are learning new pitches when you get to the Mets,

1145
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: Like everything is working really well on the pitching side,

1146
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: which is just so harmonious for me as a fan

1147
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 2: of this team and doing the show. It's so beautiful

1148
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 2: for me to do this content when all that's happening,

1149
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: because's just it's so much fucking fun to go through

1150
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 2: every single week, these minor league box course and videos

1151
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: and these big guys like Prospect Hilt who are trying

1152
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: these pitchs being like, oh yeah, Metro dominating again.

1153
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: And you see it with another guy to Jonah Tong,

1154
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: who not a name he necessarily knew before the season started,

1155
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: but he had another great appearance. And this is how

1156
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: you know that people are starting to get hip to

1157
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: Jonah Toong. In my YouTuber Dynasty Fantasy Baseball league, we

1158
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: run forty man rosters. We go deep. Shout out Bengal.

1159
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: If you guys watch Madden videos, I don't know how

1160
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: many of you do, but Bengal's a friend of mine.

1161
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: He's in the league. He asked me there. He's like, so,

1162
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: who are some prospect pitchers you're looking at? And he's like,

1163
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: anybody on the Mets. I was like, well, of course,

1164
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: Christian Scott named some of those big guys. He goes

1165
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: about Jonah Tong and I was like, oh, you know

1166
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 1: about Jonah Tong. Okay, someone's been doing their research.

1167
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I know why Bengal knows about Jonah Tong

1168
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: because millb Pipeline sweet abouthim and that you know how,

1169
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 2: That's how TP gets into toyst fear with these baseball guys.

1170
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 2: He's a football guy. He's got his big week coming

1171
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: up with the drafts on Thursday nights. But Jonah Tong again,

1172
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 2: it's also so great that we have the stack cast

1173
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: stuff for these guys in low Way. When he gets

1174
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: to call up Brooklyn's can be so bittersweets makes I've

1175
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 2: been to want to go watch a pitch, but also

1176
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna have all the sweet sweet day that

1177
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 2: everything will start. But another great outing. And I say

1178
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 2: outing because he had an outing and not a start

1179
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: the last time you pitched, which was four and thirds ending,

1180
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: six strikeouts, two heads, no runs, no walks, exactly fifty pitches,

1181
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 2: twenty seven strikeouts and twelve to two thirds innings, zero

1182
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 2: point zero ERA. That is comparable to what Paul Skeens

1183
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: is doing Triple A right now. He has the second

1184
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 2: lowes striker right in the entire Minor league, only behind

1185
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 2: Skens fifty six percent to fifty seven percent. That's nineteen

1186
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: point two k per nine for the K pro nine.

1187
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: Folks who don't want to learn like do strike got

1188
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 2: Ray because is significantly better. And then again having stack

1189
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 2: cast is rid for this because we're seeing he's throwing

1190
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 2: sixty to seventy percent fastballs and guys are not hitting

1191
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: it's averaging twenty inches of invery vertical break ivy B.

1192
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: That's the most for any pitcher in the FCL. Want

1193
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 2: to shout out my guy MJD Analysis for teaching me

1194
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 2: how to do IVB with stack cast with a sawant data.

1195
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: It's like a weird mathematical equation. I forgot it, but

1196
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: I put it in an Excel doc and I've been

1197
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 2: I've been doing it for these guys. That fastball also

1198
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 2: is a forty seven percent with rate and a forty

1199
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: four percent call swinging striker in the season. Dude a

1200
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 2: pure freak, pure, pure fucking freak. Showa Tong like he

1201
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 2: the only thing that I'm scared about him with Major

1202
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 2: league stars is that he's just like a small guy

1203
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 2: and he comes like super over the top or usually

1204
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: the small guys have that like nice little flat approach angle.

1205
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 2: Now whereas Jonah Toong like Isac talked about in his

1206
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: thread last week, he comes away the top like class. Now,

1207
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: he's the life on that fastballs delusionally good like he

1208
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: he looks like such a super dude. It's like him

1209
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: and Nolan McLean like ninety four ninety five, Like it's

1210
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: not even hard but the life is insane, So I

1211
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: wonder if he still gets these whifts. He keeps going

1212
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: to the upper minders. Another guy where double A is

1213
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: gonna be a big deal for him with that velocity.

1214
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: But just him and Tong and McLean right now are

1215
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: about to take the league by storm. If you guys

1216
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: are in deep dynasty leagues, like everyone's gonna start picking

1217
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 2: them up. Everyone is gonna start talking about them. Earnest stuff,

1218
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: who's a METSA minor league a endless He got a

1219
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 2: hilarious tweet about Nolan McLean. Be like, people are really

1220
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 2: talking about Nolan McLean. Things are picking up. He might

1221
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 2: be the next big grey Crossbarger, just like I love

1222
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 2: w People are like, yeah, people are talking like people

1223
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 2: are talking. The guy's awesome.

1224
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: Guy's finger on the pulse Man. He's he's down in

1225
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: Port Saint and Lucy. I think the guy lives down

1226
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: There's he's locked in, he's always going, he's always got

1227
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: great video shot him. He's always got a lot of.

1228
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. But also funny that in this game Tong piggyback

1229
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: on Austin Schrozer, who's another draft from the last draft.

1230
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 2: I think he was the guy from Missouri who had

1231
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 2: the growth spurs or something, who went from like throwing

1232
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 2: ninety like a ninety nine through college. He'sat in ninety

1233
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: to ninety four ninety five in this start, but four

1234
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: at four and two thirds, eight strikeouts, seventy percent fastballs,

1235
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 2: and had a four to three percent wifth rate, two

1236
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 2: hour in runs, and eleven innings pitch. And we're seeing

1237
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 2: a lot of the minor league teams do this where

1238
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: they're just basically throwing guys a lot of innings. Because

1239
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 2: now Major League Baseball teams have like a full one

1240
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five player organizational limit that includes players

1241
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 2: who are injured. So these minor league teams are gonna

1242
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 2: get completely, like kind of fucked with pitching depth as

1243
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 2: we get through the season. But this the Saint Luisi

1244
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: team is fucking electric. There's another guy who had a

1245
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 2: great start this week. QUI literally I've never heard of

1246
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 2: I don't know when they met drafted them, I don't

1247
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 2: know when they acquire them. I don't know where he's from,

1248
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how tall he is. Jack Wenninger, you

1249
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 2: ever hear of him?

1250
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna do a little quick little research

1251
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: about him, so it looks like he went to the

1252
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: University of Illinois. So he's big ten, big ten man,

1253
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: James big ten man for you. Sixth round pick last

1254
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: year is Urbana Champagne. The main is that the main campus.

1255
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 2: That's the main campus.

1256
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a fighting line eye. Then Jonathan Andrew Wenninger.

1257
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: It sounds like Funds.

1258
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 2: He's a big boy, big boy and he throws six pitches,

1259
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: kitchen sink guy, which definitely makes sense as a big

1260
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 2: ten pitcher led by a lethal change to.

1261
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: Be a Murray State racer. He's a transfer guy.

1262
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 2: To oh, I like that. I like a little like

1263
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: a little transfer in the baseball up there, get to

1264
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 2: the big ten. But ten strikeouts, one hit and no

1265
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 2: walks nowhere runs in six innings on Tuesday like not

1266
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 2: a crazy velo guy, which makes that to a six

1267
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 2: round pick. He was sitting ninety two to ninety four.

1268
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 2: But he has a really, really, really unique sinker. It's

1269
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: a bizarre pitch. I call the video of it. It's

1270
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 2: like a rising sinker with thirteen inches of run. It's

1271
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 2: a crazy, crazy eighteen inches of in vertical break with

1272
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: thirteen inches run. It's a really weird pitch. It's the

1273
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 2: kind of outlier pitch that can like carry a guy

1274
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 2: who has a lethal change up in six pitches like

1275
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: night to maybe even like a back in starting spot.

1276
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, he's struck out twenty eight batters in

1277
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: eighteen anythings, he's just getting crazy whips.

1278
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 2: Dude. That PSL team where the pitching lab is fucking cooking,

1279
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 2: those guys are probably living the pitching lab. Those guys

1280
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 2: are in there every single ten in Florida, Florida, really

1281
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: itching to go back to Florida. Huh, you just love Florida.

1282
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: Love Florida. That's great. The weather's awesome, and we have

1283
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: to get there before it gets disgustingly hot.

1284
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 2: That's the key, that's true. I mean we need some

1285
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 2: one of us needs to eat to get on TV

1286
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 2: or ge get a real writing job with the credential

1287
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,439
Speaker 2: outlet to get media credentials now for the Mets. So maybe,

1288
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you're probably more likely for TV.

1289
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm more likely for a writing job, whatever it happens first.

1290
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 2: But we're going right there. We're gonna say we need

1291
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: credentials for this, but the pitching lab is cooking. The

1292
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: pitching lab is cooking so hard. I love how I've

1293
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 2: just I've totally just like taken over these prospect reports

1294
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: weekly and just been like, here's fifteen minutes I mess

1295
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 2: pitching prospects.

1296
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:33,959
Speaker 1: So I just take them.

1297
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: Took over this thing. That's all I want to talk about.

1298
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: No, you're the pitching guy, I'm the hitting guy. It's

1299
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: a little yin and yang here. Alex Ramirez, still hidden,

1300
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: still hidden. He walked a couple of times. He's stealing

1301
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: bases one thirty five WRC plus with a nine percent walk. Great.

1302
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: If Alex Ramirez walks nine percent of the time, all

1303
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're like good baseball player again, Like

1304
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: what's going on here? And this is kind of we

1305
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: saw this a little bit with ron and Maurisio. I

1306
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: feel like similar age, similar level, like similar time where

1307
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: Ronnie at that double a ish level started to be

1308
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more patient to the point where you're like, Okay,

1309
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: now I see that this guy can be a major

1310
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: league baseball player. It's not as violatile necessarily as it

1311
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: once was. But for Alex Ramirez to be walking nine

1312
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: percent for a guy who walked about like three four

1313
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: percent in years past. That's really big.

1314
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: It's also like, I feel like we talk about every

1315
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 2: single week, but getting out of Brooklyn has to give

1316
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 2: these guys a new lease on life. Just gotta be awesome.

1317
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 2: You just can't hit there. You cannot hit there. I

1318
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 2: feel like, also these guys like Marisio and Ramirez, what

1319
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 2: are you gonna say?

1320
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Nemo talked about it on the Mookie Bets podcast

1321
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: Something to do That Again. He just had He had

1322
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff. He was like, yeah, when

1323
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: when I was playing in Brooklyn, He's like, I struggled

1324
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 1: big time. He was like, I'm living in places that

1325
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: have bars on the windows. He's like, I'm from Wyoming.

1326
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: Like He's like, he's like obliving in New York. He's like,

1327
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: I had a really hard time in Brooklyn adjusting playing there.

1328
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: The schedules bizarre, the field's weird. It's like, the lifestyle

1329
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: is just something I'm not used to. He goes to

1330
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: take the subway to the game. Sometimes it took me

1331
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: forty minutes to get there. He was like, it was

1332
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: very stressful for me as a young kid from Wyoming

1333
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: living there, and I like, that's real. These are real

1334
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: things I remember at a professor at South Carolina who

1335
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: owned the Savannah sam Matz at one point, and he

1336
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: talked about sixteen year old Wilmer Flores living in Savannah,

1337
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: Georgia as a Mets prospect. He didn't know a lick

1338
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: of English living in Savannah, Georgia. He's like, he's like,

1339
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: that's like my son's age. He's like, I had to

1340
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: like take care of him, he was a child.

1341
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 2: Cony Island also itself is not really Brooklyn like Cony

1342
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: Island says it's saying it's a really terrible place, but

1343
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 2: it definitely used to be nice. But and then again,

1344
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: on top of that, you had the atmosphere conditions of

1345
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 2: playing baseball on the beach. It's hard to hit there.

1346
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: It's really hard to hit. And I feel like also

1347
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 2: the guys like Ramirez and Ryni Mauricio, where you get

1348
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 2: the big signing bones, you're a big international prospect, you

1349
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 2: probably get a little discouraged, but you also know the

1350
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 2: team is still confident in you. You probably get a

1351
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 2: little bit bored down there in Brooklyn too, where it's

1352
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 2: just like I know that I'm like one step away

1353
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 2: from the real step, and I just like everything I

1354
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 2: feel like, I'm doing everything right, I'm not getting results,

1355
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 2: so I kind of have to zone out of it

1356
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 2: a little bit to keep my confidence up. And you

1357
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 2: got to Binghamton and you start to playing regular baseball

1358
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 2: again in like a more controlled environment everybody. Nickolaru I

1359
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 2: was talking to him because he was with the with

1360
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 2: the Asheville Tourists the Astros High team last week, and

1361
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 2: there's like certain minor league rules about where you can

1362
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 2: stay when you are playing in different cities, and he said,

1363
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 2: those guys were staying all the way in Guanas and

1364
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 2: they were taking buses from Guanas to Coney Island for

1365
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 2: these and he said, you got to suck at traffic

1366
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 2: with it was like an hour and a half to

1367
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 2: the fields, where I'm like, that's crazy to play baseball

1368
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 2: game after that, and then you play the same team

1369
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 2: six days in a row. It's just cularly is weird baseball.

1370
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 2: But happy to see Ramirez move up and crushing it

1371
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 2: now a couple levels below that guy talked about last week,

1372
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 2: who is crushing the bar and now probably the best

1373
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 2: results for any Mets minor league right now. Nick Morribi

1374
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: though seven for eighteen since we talked last week, with

1375
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 2: three more stolen bases, heart hit rate hovering around fifty

1376
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 2: percent at Port Saint Lucy. The only thing I really

1377
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 2: want to see him on corkorn, Like he's a he's

1378
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 2: like a thick aff the kid, like his maxxs of loss,

1379
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 2: he's only one hundred five miles an hour. If I can,

1380
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 2: if i can see a one to ten, I'm like,

1381
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm suddenly sky high on him. And these guys are

1382
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 2: mirrors and more be though I'm not Ramiers, maybe a

1383
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: little more so now that they hitting ceilings back up,

1384
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 2: but I still don't think like it's just a corner offlefield.

1385
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 2: They're probably with like twenty home more power. Like these

1386
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 2: are the kind of guys that come up and they're

1387
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: become your tyrone Taylors, like they become the guys who

1388
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 2: are free on your rock PA for them who are

1389
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: getting two hundred to four hundred played appearances in a year,

1390
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: depending on how good or bad they are, Like maybe Ramirez,

1391
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 2: one of these guys breaks through a few years and

1392
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 2: becomes a real starter, but you you don't pay them anything.

1393
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,959
Speaker 2: They play. They're good baseball players. They wind up getting

1394
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 2: two war they wind up being a one ten WRC

1395
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 2: plus guy, they wind up coming in lake games for defense,

1396
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 2: they wind up pinch running and ceiling a base. They

1397
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: wind up giving your team a rush of youth and

1398
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 2: athleticism and joy and vigor. Like that's the kind of

1399
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 2: thing mests player developments are missing. The last few years,

1400
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,439
Speaker 2: we've been really good, like at converting these high draft

1401
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 2: picks usually into actual starting caliber baseball players or just

1402
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: guys in starting caliber baseball players. But then you now

1403
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: you need this, like this roster depth to be built up.

1404
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 2: And that's another one reason why I want to do

1405
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 2: this with you guys every single week. But just another

1406
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 2: reason why we're confident with this regime is doing so

1407
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 2: far David Turns and the Steve Cohen.

1408
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: And one guy who's not hopefully gonna be one of

1409
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: those just fill in players, Ryan Clifford as well. Not

1410
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: putting up the craziest numbers right now just yet in

1411
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 1: Double A. But he did have a four walk game,

1412
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: and we appreciate patients over here on the Mess Up

1413
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: Podcast appreciate that.

1414
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 2: I think he's still in Brooklyn, no.

1415
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: Ah, is is he not in Binghamton? I thought he's

1416
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 1: in Binghamton.

1417
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 2: I think when he gets of being fan, he's gonna

1418
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 2: have like a hot stretch hit up. I think he's

1419
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 2: still trapped in Brooklyn. I just double checked that.

1420
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: But what the heck? Why why is he still in Brooklyn? Okay, yeah,

1421
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: hand up, hand up. I just assumed. This is what

1422
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: happens when I assume, because in my head, I go

1423
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 1: get the big left handed hit or out of Brooklyn.

1424
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: There's no reason for him to be there. Just put

1425
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: him in double A. But apparently Ryan Clifford is still

1426
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, so maybe we only have a couple more

1427
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: weeks left to go find him out there.

1428
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, whatever, But nevertheless, that's the Prospect Report this week.

1429
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 2: You guys have been saying that you like this a lot. Again,

1430
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 2: we're trying to be real podcasters because we'd love to

1431
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 2: get a sponsor in this thing, a real one. So

1432
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 2: we're trying trying some segments here. In the two segment

1433
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 2: people of liked so far, So happy, Happy it's worked.

1434
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 2: And now we're gonna preview the Cardinals series. And I'm

1435
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a big fan of Saint Louis Cardinals right

1436
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 2: now because they are becoming one of the true dumpster

1437
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 2: fires in Major League baseball, and it is so fucking

1438
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 2: nice to see that a team that was winning on

1439
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 2: bullshit on nothing for years and years and years is

1440
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: now it's all finally catching up with them. They're not

1441
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 2: developing player as well. Sorry's my boy. Jordan Walker got

1442
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 2: sent down at Gallery. Didn't have a good run like

1443
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 2: I got. He's he could be so good like it's crazy.

1444
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 2: I think Robert Loritwei's talked about the second time this episode.

1445
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 2: It's crazy to see the next Randy or Rosarin and

1446
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 2: it happen in real time. It's unbelievable watch it live

1447
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 2: because the next whatever team Jordan Walker plays for next wow,

1448
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 2: is he gonna be an All Star? But the Cardinals

1449
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 2: are horrible. They are such a fucking shit show right now.

1450
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 2: In terms of player development, in terms of pitching development,

1451
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 2: in terms of coaching, all this stuff. It is a disaster.

1452
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 2: And I love watching because I hate them again.

1453
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: Still can't wrap my head around the idea one that

1454
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 1: John Moselac still has a job their GM. That guy sucks.

1455
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: That guy stinks too, that Ollibar mole guy. An extension.

1456
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,919
Speaker 1: The Cardinals finished in last place last year. They missed

1457
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the first time, and however many years

1458
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: finished below five hundred and how many years, and they go,

1459
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: you know what, give him more, give him more time.

1460
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: Let's see what this guy can do. And I'll tell

1461
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,959
Speaker 1: you what he does. He ruins everything he touches. Ali

1462
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: Marmole has killed careers. Nolan Aernatto stinks all of a sudden,

1463
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt stinks all this thing. And this is the

1464
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: biggest jinks in the world. But you know what, I'm

1465
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: gonna take the risk here. The Cardinals have been playing

1466
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: so so awful. They won a game today against the

1467
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks against their former Jordan Montgomery. But like you go

1468
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: up and down this lineup, and it's the one guy

1469
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: that Ali Marmole hated who is playing so well, and

1470
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: it's Wilson Contreras, the guy who he tried to banish

1471
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: because Yadier Molina said he doesn't catch baseball's well enough.

1472
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: He's the only guy outside of I guess maybe Mason

1473
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,959
Speaker 1: Win as well, who's hitting for this team.

1474
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 2: I think Contrere's also got hurt the other day, if

1475
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, But Mason wins also, Mason wins fake hitting.

1476
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 2: Mason win has like a four hundred bats right now, Cardinals,

1477
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 2: he's fat. Yeah, Carlson, he's Mason wins Gobal play. Also,

1478
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 2: Newbar came back off the off the al and he's

1479
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 2: walking morning, he striking out. Very good baseball player. I

1480
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: love I love Large new Bar. I always have a

1481
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 2: special place in my heart for larst Newbar, and he

1482
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 2: hasn't even really gotten going yet after his broken rid

1483
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 2: at the end of the spring. But it's just it's

1484
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: crazy to look at the now Central Like standings even

1485
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 2: a month into the season and see the Cardinals in

1486
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 2: last place. It's fucking weird. It is amazing. I can't.

1487
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 2: I want them to have a sustained period of getting

1488
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 2: smoked like they lost the other night, fourteen one to

1489
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 2: the Because I want him more. I want him more.

1490
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: I watched, I watched every run. I watched every run. Yeah,

1491
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: because I got Corman Carroll on Fantasy. I got can

1492
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: Tell Martey in Fantasy. And also I just I like

1493
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: watching the Diamondbacks team. They're fun offensively, they hit the

1494
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: ball well, they play fun baseball snakes alive as always.

1495
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, this pitching is just so utterdog shit. The

1496
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: only guy that's been I guess like good has been

1497
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray Lancelton has been okay, but he's also again

1498
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: fake good. That's like pitching in Saint Louis against the

1499
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: NL Central type of bullshit. But like Miles michaelis your boy,

1500
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Gibson, Steven mass went back to being irrelevant, like,

1501
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: thank god he had at one good story against the Dodgers,

1502
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: So don't you fucking do this to me, Steven Mattz

1503
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: And then he stinks again because he's a fucking loser.

1504
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: I just I want to beat the living shit out

1505
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals. They're a different kind of hate, where

1506
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: like we hate the Braves, we hate the Phillies, we

1507
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: hate the Yankees, we hate all those teams, but the

1508
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: Cardinals are different hate because again they don't really matter,

1509
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: but they're so fucking smug that I just want to wipe.

1510
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: I want to kill Ollie Marmles's career. I want him

1511
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: to go away, although maybe I want him to stay

1512
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: as long as possible.

1513
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 2: We also definitely have inherit that hate for the Cardinals

1514
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: as well, because they're a traditional Mets rival back in

1515
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 2: the day seventies and eighties. I think you also undersold.

1516
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 2: I think how good Sonny Gray has been this year

1517
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 2: since he came off the it's been like one of

1518
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 2: the best pitches in baseball, thirty six per strikeouts, one

1519
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 2: percent walks. His FIP is point seven. Yeah, it's it's

1520
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 2: pretty it's era's one like he's been. He he's alread

1521
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 2: accumulated one f four and seventeen innings like the guy's

1522
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 2: been ridiculous. And also they just they struck crazy random

1523
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 2: gold lightning in a ball with Ryan Helsley just cut

1524
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 2: whenever he's healthy. He's one of the best relievers in baseball.

1525
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 2: He just throws one hundred and three miles an hour.

1526
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 2: Not many people on Earth are built to do that.

1527
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 2: I tail gay with Ryan Helsley the Ohio State Michigan game.

1528
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 2: He doesn't look like he could throw one hundred three

1529
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 2: miles an hour. He seems like a very regular guy.

1530
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 2: He's not even that much bigger than me.

1531
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: Hates the brives too. Yeah, he was.

1532
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 2: Rocking a Zee Cowboys jersey there, which I thought was

1533
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 2: crazy at the Ohigo State Michigan game. Yeah, bad look

1534
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 2: for him, but yeah again, fun guy. Fun to drink

1535
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 2: beers so he could put them back him in bednar

1536
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,479
Speaker 2: were just a hell of a time, whereas Jordan Hicks

1537
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 2: is just the bang. What the fucking prick that guy was?

1538
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 2: But this Cardinals team, we're getting kind of bonned a

1539
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 2: little bit in the pitching matchups. Friday night, We're both

1540
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 2: gonna be in the ballpark, first time back in the

1541
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 2: ballpark in a month. I'm really excited and thankfully going

1542
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: to a ballpark on Apple TV.

1543
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: Game.

1544
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Love Wayne Randazzo, but he's not Gary. Just just gotta

1545
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 2: say it, Shout out Wayne, He's not garyot Wayne, Jose

1546
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 2: Budo versus Miles Nicholas. I have a lot in the

1547
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 2: line this pitching matchup. I need everything to go right

1548
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: for me there. I'm excited. This is my first time

1549
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 2: the season seeing Boola live. I'm really jazzed up for

1550
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 2: that way. If this start goes well, he might have

1551
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 2: to lock into Dhgate Jose Buodlo Jersey. And then Saturday afternoon,

1552
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 2: another weekend where the Mets have multiple games on national television.

1553
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 2: Why didn't you know people like to see them. That's

1554
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,479
Speaker 2: Adrian Houses versus Sonny Gray. Not not exciting about one one,

1555
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 2: but lines up well. Lance up for the way the

1556
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 2: Mets like to play their series. And then Sunday, Mattine

1557
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 2: won for the Just a game of a couple of

1558
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: dudes who are gonna pitch Jose Katana versus lance Lynn.

1559
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 2: Those two are gonna shake Those who are gonna shake

1560
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 2: hands on the mount before the game would say, I

1561
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 2: have a good one.

1562
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: I love those They're gonna they're gonna cheers after they

1563
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: both come out of the game, they're gonna meet in

1564
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: the tunnel and just to have a nice cold beer

1565
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: together and be like, Yeah, that was That's baseball. That's

1566
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: how it should be played.

1567
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 2: Lynn hasn't even been bad this year either, Like I

1568
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 2: also just still don't think he's that bad. Like I

1569
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,919
Speaker 2: don't think lance Lynn mentally will let himself be that bad.

1570
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 2: I guess unless he's a dodgercause I'm sure he just

1571
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 2: hates Los Angeles so much and he's like, I don't

1572
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 2: even gonna fuck about this team. I don't want to

1573
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 2: be good for them, but just he's just gonna look

1574
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 2: you in your eyes and throw you fast balls and

1575
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 2: dare you to hit them. Usually just you're just not

1576
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 2: the team. Carlo's team is still good defensively. That ballpark

1577
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 2: is still a great place to pitch and it's just

1578
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 2: that's always gonna be good going well for that. But

1579
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 2: like you said, right now, the there are guys who

1580
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 2: are supposed to be hitting are not hitting. Brandon Crawford

1581
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 2: is playing baseball for them sometimes. Alec Burlson, who's the

1582
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: guy who's just always supposed to break guy, he's never

1583
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: broken out. This team is just it's it's really it's

1584
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 2: really strange what's going on with them.

1585
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, I hope bad things happen to

1586
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals. I love I do love Eronado

1587
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: and Goldschmid. They're like kind of fake Cardinals. Don't really

1588
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: hate them that much because they're just all time greats,

1589
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: like future Hall of famers probably, but I hate this

1590
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: organization as a whole, and I love to see, like

1591
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: you said, the Cardinals way, the bullshit that like. Unfortunately

1592
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,919
Speaker 1: Keith Rnandez this is where like he gets a little

1593
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: bit curmudgety sometimes when we starts talking about like the

1594
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals way and how great it was, like, yeah, in

1595
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties and nineties whatever, sure, but now

1596
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: that baseball's modernized, they have not caught up. And it's

1597
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: so so painfully obvious even to the MB network. I

1598
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: was watching Brian Kenny and Jason Stark and Sean Casey

1599
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: were giving it to the Cardinals for sending Jordan Walker down.

1600
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: They're like, he's not the problem. The problem is that

1601
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Nolraan Aernato's not hitting that Paul Golshman is at hitting. Yeah,

1602
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: he's not hitting well, but maybe he just gotta let

1603
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: him play a little bit. You guys might be giving

1604
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: him bad info, like just let him go out and

1605
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: do his thing.

1606
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 2: It's also classic, definitely Saint Louis Cardinals bullshit. Where Jordan

1607
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 2: Walker right now, all of his underlying stuff is better

1608
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 2: than it was at any point last year. He's chasing

1609
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 2: less often, his defense is even a little bit better,

1610
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 2: significantly better than it was last year. He's barreling the

1611
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 2: ball more, he's lifting the ball more, he's walking more like,

1612
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 2: he's hitting the ball really hard and pulling it. It's

1613
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 2: just I think they were just like a twenty one

1614
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 2: year old kid not ready for the show. Have you

1615
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 2: seen Michael Ciani up there. Jordan Walker this year has

1616
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 2: had I think four or five four hundred hit four

1617
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 2: hundred foot outs. Wow, if even two of those were

1618
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 2: home runs, like his whole stat line would be different.

1619
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 2: It's just like, this is what Carlin did, the same

1620
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 2: thing with Victor Scott, who I don't think is very

1621
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 2: good at all, but just like these things. Yeah, I

1622
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 2: don't think it's very good, but it's just like, will

1623
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 2: you have this better than these guys right now your

1624
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 2: major league roster, Like you have young athletic players who

1625
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 2: you should be building around because your team isn't the

1626
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 2: law right now. I think they just I've disillusioned themselves

1627
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 2: and thinking they're still good and it still the Cardinals

1628
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 2: where they're just not they Also I saw a tweet

1629
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 2: about that. You know, sarahs is tweeting about it. Jeff Albert,

1630
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 2: who it's a pretty good, pretty famous hitting coach. I

1631
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 2: don't know if the Cardinals let him go or if

1632
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 2: he left on his own accord, But since they've let

1633
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 2: him go, they've stopped pulling their fly balls, which is

1634
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 2: a really good thing to do. Baseball is pulling your

1635
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 2: fly balls. It's kind of the number one thing you

1636
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 2: want to do is a hitter. You kind of learned

1637
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 2: that at early age too. I don't know why some

1638
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 2: of these old baseball guys think that's a bad thing

1639
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: to pull your fly balls like Dud's like once you started,

1640
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 2: like playing real baseball twel years old, Like I try

1641
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: to hit the ball in the air, pull it a

1642
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 2: little bit like oh yeah, no shit, it goes further.

1643
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: But they just they don't do that anymore. And if

1644
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 2: you do that, don't do that, you're not going to

1645
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 2: hit well, especially when you're playing a big place like

1646
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 2: Bush Stadium. There's just I love seeing them fall apart.

1647
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: I want to see this happen more and more for

1648
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 2: years and years. I don't want the Cardinals to make

1649
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs until the twenty four of these that that's

1650
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: like a personal goal dream of mine. I think I

1651
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 2: could do to make that happen. I will do.

1652
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: It Saturday City Connect debut as well. Excited to see

1653
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: what they look like out on the field. I'm not

1654
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 1: going to be there Saturday, I don't think it. But Friday,

1655
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Friday will definitely be in the ballpark. Maybe you'll see

Speaker 2: for us.

1661

Speaker 1: We're gonna do some sort of trivia games question maybe

1662
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: even a prize or two for you guys. So, if

1663

1669
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,040

Speaker 1: playing linebacker in the NFL at lt spears in like

1705
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:54,160

1707
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: the modern game, but yeah, he definitely was good back

1708
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,280

1715
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: games because as a blind listener whoa As a blind listener,

1716
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm able to enjoy the games too. I have a question.

1717
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: Can the Mets lose from April twenty nine through May

1718
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: third and June twenty first through June twenty third. The

1719
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Mets are cool, but go Cubs. Wow? But seriously, I

1720
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,280

1722
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Rollercoaster of the credit. First we thought he could be

1723
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: an NFL player because of his name, we find out

1724
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: he's blind. Man.

1725
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:39,520
