00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: longest days ever. It's like an eight hour experience at Cityfield.

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: We were there bright and early, and you guys will

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: probably learn a little bit more about that in the

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: future as to why. But it was a pretty good day,

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: fantastic day.

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: Like I said that, we were done doing what we

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: were doing earlier before that. It was pal for pound,

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: one of the better afternoons of my entire.

38
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Life, oh for sure. I mean we were at city

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: Field for what I said is a good a good sleep,

40
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: oh solid sleep.

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: I can't wait to get a sleep like this after

42
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: I finished I think this episode.

43
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna be working through the night to get

44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: this one out for you guys. Because of course, any

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: time their Sunday Night baseball, it's gonna be a late night.

46
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: And then on the part of it, we were there

47
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: all day. There's a lot going on.

48
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: And no off day. Big series the Brave starts tomorrow,

49
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: but we're here to focus on.

50
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: The Phillies, and we gotta start off with Game one. Yes,

51
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: because Game one was sick. James was at the game.

52
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: I was not able to go because the group of

53
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: friends that I was going with decided let's go on

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: Saturday instead because they had a birthday party and I

55
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: missed history. And I don't know if I can ever

56
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: forgive them for that.

57
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: Truthfully, Just to give you guys some backstory about our

58
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: friends and you don't care about at all, two of

59
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: them had the birthday party, and one of them was

60
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: at such a fun party on Saturday that I actually

61
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: joined him mat that he bailed on his Mets ticket.

62
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: So one of the two people who forced Mark to

63
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: miss the Friday night No Hither didn't even go to

64
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: a single Mets game this weekend at all.

65
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Frustrating. Frustrating because, like we said, missed history. No hitter

66
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: second all time in Mets history.

67
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: I saw the history. I really enjoyed the history. The

68
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: history was one of the better things that I witnessed.

69
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: In a long time. It was a pretty good weekend

70
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: to be a Mets pitcher.

71
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, great week And I also have a very funny

72
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: personal anecdote about the first Mets no hitter. I know

73
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: my dad's listen says he's gonna just he's gonna, he's gonna.

74
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: I don't even he's gonna freak out and tell him this.

75
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: But it was June first, twenty twelve. I believe correct, Yeah,

76
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: I think so, yes, y yeah, Johann against the Cardinals.

77
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: And that was a night. I was going to sweet

78
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: sixteen and I was about sixteen years old, and being

79
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,559
Speaker 2: sixteen years old, I was doing a lot of experimenting

80
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: with alcohol, and me and one of my buddies we

81
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: just had entirely Neither of us had like ever gotten

82
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: like drunk drunk before this girl was having a sweet

83
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: sixteen party. She was just worse. She wasn't really well

84
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: liked by the grade. It was just an excuse for

85
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: a lot of young, stupid children to get very drunk.

86
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: And I took it away too far. I got hammered.

87
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: I had to I had to be removed from the party,

88
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: and my dad never let me live down, and I

89
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: made the miss the only Mets no hither. But now

90
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: we have two and we were there together for this one.

91
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: So thank you Universe for helping me out.

92
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: You guys got to experience it together. That's that's the

93
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: real no hitter and the Shianos one.

94
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 2: Hundred percent, and one day in the future, one Mets

95
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: picture will probably throw no hit and that will even

96
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: be more special in my dad's eyes than this one.

97
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, because as you guys know, this was not a

98
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: one pitcher event. This was a team effort. What a

99
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: total of five pitchers were a part of this, and

100
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: it started with Tyler McGill, who was not as sharp

101
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: maybe as he has been, but he was still very good.

102
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, mcgil he was just very solid. Again, It's unbelievable

103
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: that in one month we've gone from a guy in

104
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: McGill who like, we don't know what we're gonna get.

105
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 2: We hope we get something good to him like being bad.

106
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: Like his floor is just so remarkably high compared to

107
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: other pitchers, not even on his team, like across like

108
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: the National League in general, where he can just not

109
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: have his best stuff on a cold, chilly April night

110
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: against one of the better lineups in the National League

111
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: and just be good against him.

112
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: Well, how funny is it too? Like you talk about

113
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: like the floor rising. How about just the fact that

114
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: we were talking about him in prospect reports to start

115
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: the year last year and now he is a vital

116
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: cog of this rotation.

117
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: We're probably on the one year anniversary of the first

118
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: time the Mets Stuff podcast mentioned Tyler.

119
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: McGill and he's part of a no hitter, which is crazy.

120
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: I mean, he was sharp, he was sharp, for sure,

121
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 1: he was sharp.

122
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: He just again, Teller McGill RiPPs his fastballs and they work.

123
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: He threw him two thirds of the time on Friday night,

124
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: and they got thirty seven percent whifts and they sat

125
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: in ninety five ninety six again on a chili April

126
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: night against one of the better lineups in the National League.

127
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: Like we can just trust him now. And we've been

128
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: talking a lot. I've been talking a lot about Tyler

129
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: McGill finding his primary secondary pitch, and this time it

130
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: was his slider. He threw that pitch twenty two percent

131
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: of the times and he got two whiffs on nine swings,

132
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: which is like a fine number, but it's not great.

133
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll say watching it on TV, obviously we're out

134
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: the game early on. He had a really hard time

135
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: controlling it and committing that slider, and I think that

136
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: also played into the high pitch count and why he

137
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: was coming out of the game earlier, because he was

138
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: going into a lot of like three ball counts early

139
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: on this game, and.

140
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: There were a lot of foul balls, something that's been

141
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: happening in Tyler McGill a lot this year, and there's

142
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: a lot of new research being done around the value

143
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: of foul balls in baseball. So I'm hoping that we

144
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: couldn't do some reporting on that soon. But that's way

145
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: over my pay grade. Off of McGill having some trouble

146
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: with his slider early and finding it late, he really

147
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: did not throw that many change ups, only ten the

148
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: entire evening, and he got no whiffs on it. First

149
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: start all year, he got no whiffs on that change up,

150
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: and that was a pitch that I've said his last

151
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: two stars I thought was kind of pulling ahead of

152
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: the slider becoming the primary secondary. But it's a cold night,

153
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: and especially a pitch like change up. That's a that's

154
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: a grit pitch, Like, you really have to be able

155
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: to hold that pitch. If it's not like moist out

156
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: there at all, you gotta really rub that ball up.

157
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 2: It's hard to get a feel for it. And again,

158
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: just the fact that he's able to work through a

159
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: game where he doesn't have the feel for either of

160
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: the secondary pitches against one of the better lineups in

161
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: the National League and pitch five innings of scroll as

162
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: baseball without allowing a hit. That's great.

163
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: No, it's pretty big, and I know that. Like watching

164
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: the game as he was getting to the fifth inning

165
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: and his final ending of work, everyone was like, no hitter.

166
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: But clearly he's not going the distance here because the

167
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: pitch count, there's no way.

168
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: And also it just would have been malpracticed because this

169
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: was a close game, Like the game was in the balance.

170
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill threw his last pitch, the game is still

171
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: zero zero. I don't want this guy that bust is

172
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: asked for no hitter when again, one he's one of

173
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: the most valuable members of this rotation too, Like, I

174
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: don't even know if he's pitching effectively enough to not

175
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: allow any runs let alone any hits in the next

176
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: thirty pitches, like he had to come out of the game.

177
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: And there were some no hither murmurs around the park,

178
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: and there were a couple, uh, like I described, there

179
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: are a couple of unseeenly fans by me like, oh,

180
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: you got leave it man, and no hitter let him

181
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: work through it. But it's like, we have to win

182
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: this game. Yeah, we have to win this game. And

183
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: that was the right call. I'm happy. I'm happy it

184
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: was made.

185
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: When do you think in the park it started to

186
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: really feel like this was a real possibility fifth inning.

187
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, right when he got through that fifth inning with

188
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: no hits, and there was because that's when his pitch

189
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: cat was sitting right ninety. It seemed like he was

190
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: going to be taken out because that just logically was

191
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: the right baseball move. But that's when that's when they're

192
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: talking about. It began in the in the stands.

193
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: And to be fair, I guess it was kind of

194
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: built off of the fact too that McNeil came through

195
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: in the fifes and got the Mets the lead, which

196
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: also put McGill in line for the win. So as

197
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: the team starting to get a lead start to be

198
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: ahead in the game. Yes, now the no hitter stuff's

199
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: really starting to swim cling.

200
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: But also it's a two run lead against the lineup

201
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: with like seven guys who can hit home run at

202
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: any given moments. Yes, guys who can hit home running

203
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: any given moment. So like, good moment to pump the brakes.

204
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: I like that logic prevailed rather than this chasing of history. Also,

205
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: I was just really happy that McNeil got this hit

206
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the fifth and it did put

207
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill in line for the win. Oh yeah, it's

208
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: just it was great to see me go get a

209
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: win when he started this no hitter and he just

210
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: pitched very well.

211
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mets didn't really get a lot of it's this game,

212
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: but they got the timely ones. Again, like even like

213
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: we talked about McNeil, the p Alonzo home run was

214
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: big too, which is nice because Pete had only been

215
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: hitting singles for a bit, so that home run was

216
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: nice to kind of get him off the bump a

217
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: little bit. M and the Mets were able to do

218
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: enough on the offensive side. But again, the story of

219
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 1: Game one is gonna be the pitching, and you probably

220
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: didn't notice this because you were at the game, But

221
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: our boy, Drew Flow. Yeah, we got a new nickname

222
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: for him. Did you see the chain he was rocking?

223
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: I noticed a little bit watching a dense game back

224
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: and all the Mets chains were kind of popping in

225
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: the Black jerseys. It was really cool to see MTV.

226
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, the Black jerseys look so clean, so clean,

227
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, Drew Smith rocking the chain. We got a

228
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: new nickname for him. He's officially Drew Chains. Yes, and

229
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: he was absolutely disgusting again because he's just kind of

230
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: like one of the best relievers in this bullpen, maybe

231
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: like second pets. Honestly, we were in.

232
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: A conversation one of our friends of the park tonight

233
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: where it's like, when is Drew Smith going to start

234
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: being seriously considered for the eighth inning role? And I

235
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: even like him more in this role that he came

236
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: in that he pitched on They pitched on Friday night,

237
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: just pitching ust the middle of the oiler and getting

238
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: guys out. Drew Smith pitched one a third innings in

239
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: this game, and he got four strikeouts. Every single hitter

240
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: that he got out he struck out with one walk

241
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: mixed in dude's dominant.

242
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: Dude's really really good and you have down. Yep, we're

243
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: threw an updown. That's a big thing. We always like

244
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: to talk about the updowns some when you have been

245
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: very high on from the start. And it's nice see

246
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: that he's, you know, come to fruition now.

247
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: They even show the thing on on the scoreboard at

248
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: the game tonight that he has like some of the

249
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: most vertical movement on his fastball and all of baseball,

250
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: Like this guy is the quintessential modern reliever and he

251
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: can do anything.

252
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Joellie backpacked off of him, which don't

253
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: look now, but Joelle's pitching, well, guys, don't you don't

254
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: You don't want to hear it. No, don't want to

255
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: hear Joelle. He's stunk at the beginning of the year

256
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: apparently to people.

257
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: But six straight squirrels housings for my boy Joellie, and

258
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: I will claim him. I'm claiming him, claiming Joelle.

259
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: Rodriguez got a huge, huge double play for us in

260
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: his inning. Lugo came in, he was fine, and then

261
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: I mean, Dias man, it.

262
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: Was like the sickest I've ever seen him.

263
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: Look, he's just like he's untouchable and like he's made

264
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: what one mistake this year, like one, maybe maybe two,

265
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: like and that was the var show home run, Like

266
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: otherwise he's been lights out on touch well that slider.

267
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper does not know what to do on that slider.

268
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a He has no clue that the

269
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: Phillies hitters looked like they just wanted to go home.

270
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: They were done.

271
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: He was throwing the slider. It felt like every single

272
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: pitch and no one was even remotely close to it.

273
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: And by the time we got to the ninth inning

274
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: here I had gotten like very close behind home plate

275
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 2: and like you could just like feel Diaz's like swagger

276
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: on the mound, like he came on that mound like

277
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: I am the best pitcher in baseball. No One's gonna

278
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: get close.

279
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: To hitting me. Well, I mean, I thought I was

280
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: even shocked after the note hitter happened that Diaz was

281
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: doing a postgame interview on the field and he was

282
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: speaking English without a translator, which we know he can

283
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: speak English, like we've seen it done, but usually as

284
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: like the translator around or it's not right after the

285
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: game like it was, and he was like pumped, he

286
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: was excited, he was happy to be part of history.

287
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: On the way home, I listened to the radio too,

288
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 2: and he talked because they had all five guys and

289
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: James McCann on the press conference table together and he

290
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 2: was talking in that too.

291
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean, I think that's a little bit

292
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: of confidence too, because like a lot of times, the

293
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Latin players like they know how to speak English, most

294
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: of them, but you don't want to be misquoted, you

295
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: don't want to be taken out of context, because of

296
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: course there still is that language barrier. Intimidating. Yeah, it's

297
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: simidating for sure. And it was really cool to see

298
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: him speaking English in the press conference after the no hitter.

299
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: The five guys were absolutely lights out, untouchable, unhittable, you

300
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: could say, and that was a really nice way to

301
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: start the series. Now I want to talk to you

302
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: about the no hitter because we have a Johann Satana

303
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: no hitter, which is a singular picture, and then we

304
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: had a team no hitter. Does the fact that it's

305
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: a team no hitter take away any of the shine?

306
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean, which, how do you feel about it? Because

307
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: I have a take.

308
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: I think it takes away some of the shine while

309
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: still being interesting. When it happened, I took a video

310
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: on my phone of the last strike and I posted

311
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: on Twitter. I said the Mets through a no hitter

312
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: kind of and actually got a lot of flack and

313
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: my replies people were like, well kind of. I got

314
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: a lot of either flack or I got a lot

315
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: of people who were like, you didn't go too far enough,

316
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: like me picking the middle ground. Every single person was

317
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: mad at me. Someone's like they gave him no hits.

318
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: It was a no hitter. I got like four or

319
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: five comments like that, and a couple people were like, why,

320
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: it's not even kind of noha, there's bullshit. There was

321
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 2: no there's no hither when it's five pictures. But it's

322
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: like there is a middle ground there, like it's something

323
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: in between. It is still impressive that a group of

324
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: pitchers can allow no hits for a major league team

325
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 2: and nine any game, Like that's not like the rarest

326
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: thing in the world. But I'm also not gonna tell

327
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: you it's not cool or impressive. But I also will

328
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: not believe any fan who says this feels the same

329
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: as a single pitcher doing.

330
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: This Oh, I'm so glad this is not the first

331
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: Mets no hitter. I'm so glad. Like if that was

332
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: the way we got our first ever no hitter.

333
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: I would have been less excited.

334
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have that would have been like second,

335
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: oh hitter, great, Yeah, second no hitter cool. I mean

336
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: it's nice. I was really more concerned with winning that game.

337
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: Like when DS came in, I'm like, dude, I don't

338
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: even care about the no hitter, man, let's just win.

339
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: We gotta win this game. I do not care if

340
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: the no hitter stands or not. That's an added bonus.

341
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: And that was the same sentiment with Telbert McGill leaving

342
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: the game, like I didn't care at all. He had

343
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: pitched five innings and get him no hits. I cared

344
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: more than he had three walks only five strikeouts, and

345
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: I was like, this is dangerous lineup when you pitchers

346
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: in the game who are ready to get outs.

347
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: And this is also like a classic no hitter. If

348
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: this wasn't the Mets, I don't care.

349
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, of course, I mean I don't care about

350
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: other teams committee no hitters. No. I was there.

351
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you were there, you saw history. It's a

352
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: cool little piece of Mets history that you were part

353
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: of there.

354
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, these guys are all going to have their own

355
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 2: little corner of Met's history forever. They're on the lore.

356
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Saw James McCann requested home plate, which is crazy move,

357
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: kind of dig up home plate and give it to

358
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: the guy. They have to get a new one and

359
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: put it in. I'm convinced with the game the next day. Yeah,

360
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm convinced that they just like found a spare home player.

361
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: Like here they got like rub some dirt on it. Yeah,

362
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: rub some dirt on here. You go, James, you can't

363
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: tell the difference. You don't remember what the plate looks like.

364
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: It's really funny if you like made the marking on

365
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: the corner or something, just to see if the second

366
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: ever no hitter that James McCann has caught Alito's out

367
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: in Chicago and now this one.

368
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: That stuff was really cool.

369
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Juliado always gave McCann huge praise for how

370
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: he calls a game and his catching prowess, so uh,

371
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: definitely awesome. Moving on to Game two here, not a

372
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: lot here. It was, as you put in the notes

373
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: of poop Fest, which I had to say that because

374
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: that that made me giggle little. If you're watching the

375
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: video version of this, I gave a little smirk. This

376
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: is the game I was at. Unfortunately, the cool thing

377
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: I guess was that the place was buzzing from first pitch.

378
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: Everyone was, I mean hype after a no hitter, as

379
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: you should be playing, you know, rivals in Philadelphia for

380
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: a first place team who's been playing really well. The

381
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: energy was there, and Taiwan was making his second start

382
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: of the year, first one in city field, and for

383
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: the most part, he looked pretty good.

384
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: No, he looked totally fine. Like he's definitely not a

385
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: world beather.

386
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: We know that.

387
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: Last year, Like I think Taiwan Walker pitched so well

388
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: in his first ten Mets starts, I kind of gave

389
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: some Mets fans unfair expectations of the pitcher he actually was.

390
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: But he was solid.

391
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: The fact he was able to throw five innings, get

392
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: to get up to seventy three pitches and his first

393
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: started off the ale after going on the aile with

394
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: a shoulder issue, that's fantastic. Sure, he only got one strikeout,

395
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: gave up two walks and two hits, but you know what,

396
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: two walks into hits and five innings.

397
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: You know what that is.

398
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: It's a whip under one.

399
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: That's a whip under one. I'm a sucker for a

400
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: good whip.

401
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: That's all you got. And Taiwan we talked a lot

402
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: about pitch micks last year, the fact that early in

403
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: the season he was throwing lots of two seamers that

404
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: were perceived as sinkers, and now late in the year

405
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: he moved on the four scene fastballs. This was a

406
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: very foresing heavy pitch mix for him as well, with

407
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: a lot of sliders mixed in, and he is twenty

408
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: four percent whiff rates, so there could be some more

409
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: strikeouts that are coming out after this. I don't know

410
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: if you saw anything in the park, be between pitches

411
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: being fouled off or tough at bats.

412
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: But I mean this is his second start, weird that

413
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: has made against the Phillies, his two starts of beit

414
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: against Phildelphia, and he strike out heavy. Yeah, so he's

415
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: been relatively successful, which makes me think that the Mets

416
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of have a plan for the Philadelphia hitters and

417
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: may have figured out a weak point in their lineup

418
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. How you attack these guys. Yeah,

419
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: because for Taiwan, especially again coming off this injury. Second

420
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: Star of the Year, but really like the first one

421
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: because he went an inning or two winnings whatever it

422
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: was the first time. I was impressed. It just stinks

423
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: that we kind of had nothing behind it. No.

424
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the one thing about Taiwan that he will

425
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: get happy he got in this game was he got

426
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: six ground balls of I think there were fourteen in play.

427
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's a pretty good spot to say he's

428
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: rotation oatmeal.

429
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's rotation oatmeal. And we just couldn't hit. This

430
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: really was like the story of this game as opposed

431
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: to Game one or Game three is that we had

432
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: the opportunities, did not get the big hits. We couldn't

433
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: get a hit off comics.

434
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: We got two big hits, yeah, but still it was

435
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: just like none.

436
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, there was none. We had first and second,

437
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: second and third bases loaded multiple different innings and we

438
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: just either grounded out the second, struck out, popped out,

439
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: like they just couldn't find the hits the fall and

440
00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen.

441
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: Very frustrating. That happened against a picture like Kyle Gibson,

442
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: who's just throwing like sixty percent sinkers out there getting

443
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: ground balls to bad defenders and players are being made.

444
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's frustrated. Jerry's Familia came out too, and City

445
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: Field got booed heavy. Really I did not boot.

446
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: Jerry's Yeah, I don't know any reason you would.

447
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: I think there's a group of Mets fans that like

448
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: to remember Familia at his worst as a pitcher. They

449
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: really like to I think throw blame for the World

450
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: Series at him, which I think is just foolish, Like, yeah,

451
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: he got two blown saves, but if you remember watching

452
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: those games, like the ball went into play and we

453
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: couldn't make basic plays, so it really wasn't his fault.

454
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: And well one time the ball didn't go into play.

455
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair, Yeah, play all right. But anyway, regardless

456
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: of that, he was so good for us, I can't

457
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: boo the guy. Of course he was great.

458
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, and he loved being a Met, Like

459
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: I appreciate any player who really likes being a Met

460
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: and who acknowledges that fact. So I support Jerry's familia. Yeah,

461
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: I'd want to crush him, but I'm not going to

462
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: boo the guy.

463
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: No, absolute reason for that, absolutely not. Trevor May came in,

464
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: he was okay.

465
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trevor maids through twelve pitches this game. Ten of

466
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: them were fast balls, and there were a lot of

467
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: loud outs, made.

468
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: A lot of loud out. It's a lot of warning track,

469
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: a little uh, make me, make me get out of

470
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: my single. Ooh no, no, no, no, no, please no no,

471
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: and then out of Vino came in and just gave

472
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: up the home run to Schwarbur, which Kyle Schwarber remembered

473
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: how to hit this series. Yeah, he saw it in

474
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: Game three as well. It's a strong dude. He's gonna

475
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: hit home runs. He owns the Mets. There's no way

476
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: around it.

477
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: And the end of the day, we're still just allergic

478
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: to sweep. So you had to lose one of these games. Yeah,

479
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: lose somethinking dug game against Kyle Gibson one home run

480
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: and also Hoskins home runs. Like, there's a game you lost.

481
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: Come out Game three. I deserve to win it now. Yeah,

482
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: come out Game three, start swinging And that's basically what

483
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: they did Sunday Night Baseball. Like we mentioned, Game three,

484
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: Max stures are on the mound, it's always going to

485
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: be exciting. And from first pitch again, the place was buzzing.

486
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: Sures was striking everybody out, and on every strikeout you

487
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: got that yeah, that ah, that that crowd, the roar,

488
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: and I was we were feeling it in the stands. Well.

489
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: There was a moment when this game began and Sures

490
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: shrunk out the first five batthers where you kind of

491
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: were like, something specially might be happening tonight.

492
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: I thought for a second that we could be getting

493
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: into another no hitter territory. The way do you strike

494
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: out five in a row, and the Phillies first five

495
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: are some of the best first five in all of

496
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: baseball offensively, you gotta be feeling yourself a little bit now. Granted,

497
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: watching it back, he definitely got a few calls here

498
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: and there on the outside of the corner, but hey,

499
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: you need those two with no hitters, oh yeah. Which

500
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: we also didn't mention the great Brandon Nemo catch. By

501
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: the way, I just save the no hitter, but right now,

502
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: bretand Nimmo made a great catch in the no hitter.

503
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: There you go. I forgot to mention me too. But anyway,

504
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: back to shrez Er, and you get some calls here

505
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: and there. He got some calls, and he was getting

506
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: swings and misses. The boys made a bet for ten

507
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: plus ten or more strikeouts five through the first five

508
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: batters who were feeling great.

509
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: Cats of my money.

510
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Slowed down a little bit, but he was still pretty

511
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: solid outside of the like two mistakes he made shows are.

512
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: Hilariously got the strikeouts in bunches. Because he got the

513
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: five in a row to start, they can strike it

514
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: into the out for basically three full innings, and he

515
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: ended with another flurry of strikeouts. He was just like,

516
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 2: this is just this iteration of Max scherz Orre. He's

517
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: still very dominant, but left handed hitters, when they're not

518
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: really seeing that slid theer are going to be able

519
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: to hit home runs off him. The final line was

520
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: six five hits, four earned all via the home run,

521
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 2: nine strikeouts, and an ungodly twenty two whiffs, and then.

522
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: He gets discussed.

523
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: Insane years years getting killed by the long ball. Schwarber

524
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: had the two Bryce Harper had one. The Harper one

525
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: was loud, the first swarp one got out in a hurry,

526
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 2: and the second Schwarber one was just ridiculous. He went

527
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: on one fucking knee.

528
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: And he did one hundred and five miles an hour, Like,

529
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: how do you just a strong human being?

530
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: Very strong human being. The one storyline I do want

531
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: to call everybody's attention something keep knowing of a Suzer

532
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: keeps moving through the seasons. The fact that two of

533
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: those three home runs to night were on two strike pitches,

534
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: and MAT's allowed another two strike home run earlier in

535
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 2: the year to Josh Bell, and we had mentioned briefly

536
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: the fact that Scherzer is definitely aware that he's on

537
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: one of his big roles on this team early is

538
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: eating innings. Yeah, at least until Jacob de Gram is

539
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: able to come back. And the Harper two strike pitch

540
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: that was hit out was a color that was supposed

541
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: to be inside and just backed up and got a

542
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: lot of plate. The Schwarber one was that was a

543
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: change up in a good spot. Again, he went on

544
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: one need to hit and the Bell one just to

545
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: just to do a callback, was a fastball that Neia

546
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 2: was set up high outside his own that he just

547
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 2: direct down the middle. Yeah, So I don't think it's

548
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: the fact that he's necessarily being too careful and necessarily

549
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: pitching in too much contact. It's just the fact that

550
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: these left handed hitthers are going to be able to

551
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: just sit on the pitches with medium velocity against shars

552
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: Or and not be worried about the crazy slider.

553
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: That I was a going to say to be fair.

554
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: Suser's entire career, he's given up the long ball like

555
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Verlander two, Like a lot of these guys who have

556
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: been the dominant pitchers can get away with it because

557
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: no one else gets on base, which again Schurezer, did

558
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: he walk anybody tonight? I don't know, maybe one, maybe

559
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: one guy. Like that's why he's so effective. People just

560
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: don't really get on base against him. So when they

561
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: do hit the long ball, it's like a one run,

562
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: a solo shot.

563
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: And that's why you can hit three home runs against

564
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: Max Scherzer and he still puts his team in a

565
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: very good chance to win the game, especially when all

566
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: of the bats are clutch as hell.

567
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: Like they were on Sunday night. Like what everybody except

568
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Tomas Nito had a hit. I mean, the lineup was

569
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: clicking top to bottom. Brandon Nemo, Francisco lind Or, Jeff mcnial,

570
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: We saw a little bit of a new iteration of

571
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: the lineup as well, which is something.

572
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: We've been talking about a lot. Not that Starlling my like,

573
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: not that I take Starling Marte's slow start into account

574
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: with this, but just the way that the Mets lineup

575
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 2: is like, they're better hitters than Starling Marte in it

576
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: guys who get on base at a higher clip than

577
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: Starling Marte, Guys who take more pitches, the guys who

578
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: draw more walks, guys who put the ball in play

579
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: a little bit more consistently. And seeing that Nemo Lindoor, McNeil,

580
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: Alonzo at the top like it was just cranking. There

581
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: were no easy at bats ever for the Philly pitchers

582
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 2: when the top of the order came.

583
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Up, and you kind of get a different look too

584
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: with all these guys too, like Brandon Neimo typically very patient,

585
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: you'll see a lot of pitches, or Francisco lindor kind

586
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: of in between. He'll be aggressive, but he's also been

587
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: walking at a really high rate. Jeff mccheil will swing

588
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: at you, throw it at the first pitch strike you swing in,

589
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and then Peter A. Lonso's got the power with the patients,

590
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: so like that is a really nice balanced top four

591
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: that I really do hope Buck and the Mets continue

592
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: to run out there every single game as long as

593
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: it does make sense, because it's really I mean we

594
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: saw it tonight, ten runs. It seems like that's a

595
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: really good way to generate some offense.

596
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: Another good way to generate offense is some guys not

597
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: being in the lineup.

598
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: That's also true, Yeah, I mean.

599
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: Not being in the middle of the lineup when there's

600
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 2: no chance to.

601
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: Get a hit. Yeah, we definitely did not have an

602
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: automatic out in the lineup hitting six today. Instead, the

603
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: guy who was hitting sixth had a huge game, and

604
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: that's Dom Smith, Which please, please Mets, Buck, whatever you're doing,

605
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, don't send down Dom. The

606
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: choice is easy. It's got to be Robinson Cano.

607
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't think that's Buck's choice.

608
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: It's probably not Buck's choice. Twenty million dollars, we know

609
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: whose choice it really is. At the end of the day,

610
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: it's just Dom. I know, like tonight we're seeing everything

611
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: with like what rose colored glasses. I think he's saying

612
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: right because he did.

613
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: Go four for four, four for fours. Maybe a walk, No,

614
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: I don't think he had the fifth that beat.

615
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah on deck, Yes he was on deck. But

616
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: he got four hits today. He was incredibly clutched too,

617
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: like they were big, big hits. But that's the time.

618
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: It's the time we've been waiting for. He's been struggling

619
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: all year. Maybe this was a little bit of a

620
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: wake up call because at the time that you guys

621
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: are listening to this, you will well know what happened,

622
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: who got sent down or who got cut. But this

623
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: is the last game before the rosters get shrunk down,

624
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: and Dom it was definitely a guy who could be

625
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: sent down.

626
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: I think he was definitely aware of it. I do

627
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: want to shout out Buck for something he did I

628
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: think seemingly got Dom going was there were two at

629
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 2: bets for Dom Smith where while the West Cobar got

630
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: on base before him. I think there was an infield

631
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: single and then a straight up single, and both times

632
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: Dom ended up working the count of three and two

633
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: and there was less than two outs, and both times

634
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: they sent Escobar, and both times Dom found a hole

635
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: once down the line for it will turned out to

636
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 2: be a Ribby double and another seeing a single, and

637
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: both times Dom Smith it seemed like was more motivated

638
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: to put the ball in play and make something happen

639
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: whether I don't even know. Motivation probably isn't the right

640
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: word there, but just there was baseball happening, there was

641
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 2: movement going on, and Dom Smith just seems he seemed

642
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: very locked into this game tonight.

643
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is nice because I really hope that's what

644
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: keeps him up on the roster. And again, you guys

645
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: will know when you're listening to this, you will definitely

646
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: probably have a pretty good idea as to who gets

647
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: sent down, who gets cut, whatever it's going to be,

648
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: there's going to be one hitter. It seems like Dom

649
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 1: could have been a possibility. Maybe this game helped him out.

650
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: I sure hope so.

651
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: Same with Kiorme as the two guys who have options.

652
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: Andora had a great game. He had two r hip

653
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 2: alls tonight. I don't remember any time lu has had

654
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: two harded balls in a game. Loud double, loud double,

655
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: almost got out four oh eight. He hit it literally

656
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 2: to the deepest part of the park, hit the bottom

657
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: of the wall. Aduba Herrera is just such a god

658
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 2: awful baseball player that he didn't even come close to

659
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: trying to catch that.

660
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: It was just and we were pumped. We were pumped

661
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: for gior May King Louis as we say, he's our boy.

662
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: We've been talking hype about him since we've started this podcast,

663
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: like from the first episode literally, and it's so nice

664
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: to see that one when he's getting the playing time.

665
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: He's doing exactly what we expected. A couple hits here

666
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: and there, playing great second His glove is so good

667
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: at second base.

668
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: He tarned a great double play in this huge double.

669
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: Play with Lindor where it was like it could have

670
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: been a tough one. And that's like, no shade to

671
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: McNeil or even Cano, like you was like fine with

672
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: the glove. Yeah, but Luis Giorda matt second base, like

673
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about if you played like a full season,

674
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: he probably could be in a gold glove conversation.

675
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: No, he's probably powerful pound We watched it more so

676
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: of course, Bias. But you guys listening to this because

677
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 2: you want to hear some Mets, Bis, I don't know

678
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: how many middlanfield defenders are that much better than him,

679
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: probably the top fifteen in the whole league.

680
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what other podcast will about Luis arm

681
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: as much as us either. We loved that guy, King Louis,

682
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: King Louis. He was great. That was a huge double,

683
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: got us some runs. Jeff McNeil too, Jeff McNeil had

684
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: another great game. We had two guys with four hits today. Yeah,

685
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: two guys, two doubles, four hits. He's so frigging back.

686
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: We've said it, I feel like every episode since season started,

687
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: but this dude is so back, and I'm so so

688
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: glad they did not decide to trade him because he

689
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: makes his offense different.

690
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: More, it's more like so happy that no team met

691
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 2: the Mets asking prize for him, rather than the Mets

692
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 2: didn't decide that. Yeah, they definitely, they definitely tried to

693
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: trade him, but again, just happy to see him at

694
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 2: the top of the other making tons of contact, swing

695
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: at good pitches and smiling yep.

696
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: And the game was relatively back and forth, yeah, up

697
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: until the big moment where the rat fuck Jose Alvarado

698
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: comes into the game and we broke a wide open.

699
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: It started off with what the pass ball that was?

700
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: He crossed up real Muto smacked him right. It was

701
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: right down the middle. It was a pitch right down

702
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: the middle and he just got crossed up, went past him.

703
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: I think Lindor scart scored on the pass ball, which

704
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: got us the lead, and then we just keep you

705
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: adding to it.

706
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: I was frustrated during that bat because Jose Alvarado is

707
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: a guy who's not really known for his command, and

708
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: he was coming in the game cold with the bases loaded. Yeah,

709
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: and we were both talking, like a world score has

710
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 2: to see a pitch. You have to see a pitch.

711
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: You have to see a pitch. You can't swake this pitch.

712
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: And the first pitch in dirt or swiggs right through it,

713
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: It's like, all right, whatever. But then of course the

714
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: next pitch a crossed him up and then kept moving

715
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: on from there. Also, I loved in this game. This

716
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: was the second time it happened that I'm both of

717
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: Schwarber's home runs in the second and the that was

718
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: the fourth inning, fifth inning, fourth inning, second the fourth inning,

719
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: so it was actually this Alvarado inning was the enning

720
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 2: after that, but still the same same sentiment here. The

721
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: Mets responded immediately, that's nice team. That's big, especially a

722
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: guy like Max Scherzer, who the Mets are very aware

723
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: is picking them up more often than not to pick

724
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: him up for those two mistakes. That's incredible. A lot

725
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: of resilience from this roster.

726
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely huge. And you talk about that inning against

727
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: Alvarado too. Dom Smith, we know, has some history with

728
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: the rat fuck. As we said, that's why, that's why

729
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: you got the nickname that was coined.

730
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: Literally, he was our first rat fuck.

731
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: He was our first rat fuck. A lot a lot

732
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: of f bombs dropping today, only a few. He's a

733
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: rat fuck, that's what he is. But Dom Smith breaks

734
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: it open line, drive up the middle, left lefty, lefty, lefty,

735
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 1: two runs scored right and the Mets that's when they

736
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: really started to break this game open here, which was nice.

737
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: And he kind of set the tone for the rest

738
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: of the game here, which was the Mets just kind

739
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: of took over offensively and we're able to coast onto

740
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: a victory at the end.

741
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: Timely hitting, good defense, good pitching, and that was the

742
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: big difference between the Mets and the Phillies in general

743
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: of this series. I'd say the Phillies bullpen. We got

744
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: into it and they weren't that good, and the Phillies

745
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: defense gave us tons and tons of opportunities to make

746
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: things happen.

747
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: We were talking about at the game. The Phillies play

748
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: bad baseball, bad baseball, And it's not necessarily that they're

749
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: a bad baseball team, because they obviously have good players.

750
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: But this is what happens when your team is really

751
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: so top heavy and they all kind of do the

752
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: same thing, which is just mash. Kyle Schwarber could have

753
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: caught one of the balls in left field from Jeff McNeil.

754
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, some turned out to be a double. Would have

755
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: been a routine play for even a league average defender.

756
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Nick Castianos, I don't know where he's playing in right field,

757
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: but he's seemingly never in the right spot.

758
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: Geene Sigurd booed that ground ball that opened up a

759
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: Mets rally late on thendor oh double.

760
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: Herrera can't play center field, Alec Boem missed a big

761
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: double play that would have gotten the out of an inn.

762
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: I mean, Harpert still can't throw when he's on the bench,

763
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 2: and he's probably their best outfield defender.

764
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of bad baseball that

765
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: goes on in Philadelphia, and I think that is the

766
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: big difference between these two teams. I mean, they obviously

767
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 1: have like a really good offense, but you watch these

768
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: two teams play, and the reason the Mets were able

769
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: to get that win in that no hit game, they

770
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: play clean baseball. One of the reasons they were able

771
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: to get this win over the Phillies, who did get

772
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: some offense today was because of clean baseball, timely hitting.

773
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: Like they just are a better baseball team in the

774
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: way that they play. You can make that argument whatever

775
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: you want to do on paper, but on the field,

776
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: the Mets definitely out before in the Phillies.

777
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: And another big fact, I'll say it again, is that

778
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: the Mets bullpen is deeper than the Phillies. The Phillies bullpen,

779
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: while relatively better than all the Phillies bullpens we've seen

780
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: in this generation, is still objectively not very good. And

781
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: the fact that the Mets got to them almost every

782
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: single game like that shows something. The only time the

783
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: Phillies did get to the Mets was off of Our

784
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: relievers are like our basically our CE team relievers on

785
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: Saturday between Adam Aldavino and Sean Rie Foley.

786
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: Also shout out Sean ree Foley.

787
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: Going under the Knight for UCL that stinks, but yeah,

788
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: gonna get a full year.

789
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: And major league pay if there's a positive. I guess

790
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: I know that's not that bad, but yeah, I mean,

791
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: we also have to talk about in this game too.

792
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Got a little little hit by pitch again. Christopher Sanchez,

793
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: left handed pitcher three one count of Francisco Indoor, drills

794
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: him in the knee with a fastball. And I don't

795
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: know if it was on purpose, but I definitely am

796
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: confident enough to say that they were coming in and

797
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: they said, if we had him, we hit him. It's

798
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: three to one for sure. It was a fastball ninety four.

799
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it didn't look like it missed. It

800
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't look like it slipped, it didn't look like he

801
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: held it too long. It looked like this was meant

802
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: to be an ups to hitch in the knee, And

803
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: of course everyone in the stands and the New York

804
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: Mets took a little bit of a took a little

805
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: bit of notice of it.

806
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: The stands got hot when this happened, really really hot.

807
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: People were vivacious people.

808
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: And it built up to the next sitting for the

809
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: folk hero Joan Lopez back because of the Sean Reid

810
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: fully injury and he's coming.

811
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: Into the back down.

812
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, already back down now that we're recording this two

813
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: appearances by pitch to hit by pitches. He comes in

814
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: and Schreber's the first batter.

815
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: Battery fat that's right.

816
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got real mo.

817
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: That was the big one.

818
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: That was the big one. And then Schwarber comes up,

819
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: who had the two home runs on the game. We

820
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: had people in her stands chanting hit him. They were

821
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: screaming hit him. But yeah, I was like, let's not,

822
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: let's not do that, but yeah, really please, and threw

823
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: one at his toes, backed him off to play a

824
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: little bit. Second pitch inside hit the backstop. Yeah, warnings

825
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: were given, Warnings were given. Jerry Meals escalated it for

826
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: absolutely no reason. Yeah, on the top step made his

827
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: face as he does the scowl, the buck scowl, and

828
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: Johann Lopez continues to boost up his Mets lore in

829
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: history because it's just like this guy comes in and

830
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: only throws up people.

831
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: And he hit Alec Bohm, who came up right after

832
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: Schwarber on but I believe was a two strike.

833
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: It was two strikes, and it looks like hit him

834
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: with a change up. It was eighty seven. I don't

835
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: think it was on purpose. I really don't.

836
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: I think it might have been. I think that they

837
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: wanted to hit somebody. And I think that now you're

838
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: going to see a team like the Mets kind of

839
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: get smarter with the on purpose thing, like what looks

840
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: like it's not on purpose? A two strike change.

841
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: O allegedly allegedly allegedly possibly possibly maybe, And then Johann

842
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: ca Margo did hit a nuke, right, Yeah, but that

843
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: was it. That was it. It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter.

844
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: Yoan Lopez got the final outs.

845
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: Oh no, we won by four instead of six.

846
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, what we do? Two of three from the

847
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: Phillies again, our seventh straight series. The Mets tied for

848
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: the best or not tied for the best.

849
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: Record, but a tied for the most wins in baseball.

850
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: Yes, with crosstown rivals, the New York Yankees. Spread Good

851
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: time to be a New York sports fan, by the way.

852
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: Pretty good time the New York sports fan. Great NFL

853
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: draft over the weekend for both the Jets and the Giants.

854
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: I want to shout that out too. Two buck guys

855
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: coming to I want to say the Big Apple, but

856
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: really it's New Jersey. Yeah, and Brett Bay's childhood friend

857
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: and middle school receiver Garrett Wilson. Maybe some potential for

858
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 2: some cross promotion one day.

859
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: That'd be a lot of fun. End of it all,

860
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: Though Mets are the better team, they showed they're the

861
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: better team. They beat the Phillies kind of. I don't

862
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: want to say easily, but it felt easy. There wasn't

863
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: a lot of stress handedly handedly Game two was like

864
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: the stressful game, but even then, like they they played

865
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: better than us that game. I think there's no way about.

866
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber, who was a premier here there in baseball,

867
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: just hit a home run off of our fifth best reliever.

868
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it happened literally since the start of the season.

869
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: What do we say about the Philly which is gonna beat

870
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: them like ten six? Sometimes it's just gonna happen. That's

871
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: exactly what happened tonight, happen literally. So it was a

872
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: great end to a very strong series by the New

873
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: York Mets. History was made as well as another series victory.

874
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: The seventh straight and second game of the Mark and I

875
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: have gone to together this year, and both times the

876
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: boys went to a game together. The Mets scored exactly

877
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: to have ten runs.

878
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: That's big. That's big, Mets. If you're listening to this,

879
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: if you just if you need us, there whenever you

880
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: need us, ten runs is guaranteed. Apparently, when the boys

881
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: are together, sitting with each other.

882
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: You think they listen to this.

883
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: They might. They might listen to this. I don't know.

884
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: We'll we'll see. We might they might listen to this.

885
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Now before we officially officially wrap up

886
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: the Philly series. Actually the Philly series is wrapped up.

887
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: But James, I know, did some deep dives here on

888
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: some stuff that was being talked about on Twitter today, which.

889
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: Is deep I call the medium dives. I have enough

890
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: time for a deep dives. It's what, it's almost two

891
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning.

892
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: Well, it's one seventeen at the time of records. You

893
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: have to get back to Brooklyn, yeah, and edit and edit.

894
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I don't feel bad for well, I

895
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: do feel bad for you. Actually, that's yeah. I'm not jealous.

896
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm not jealous of you. Yeah, what an asshole. But

897
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, give me your numbers, give me your stats. Cause

898
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: his hard hit rate was talked about today.

899
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically Mike Petrillo, who is one of the better people,

900
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: i'd say in baseball media, and I believe a Mets fan.

901
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: Mets fan. I don't know if he's like a public

902
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: Mets fan, but he definitely seems to like the Mets.

903
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's definitely from the Trasaid area in general and

904
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: lives in New York. But he tweeted out the fact

905
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: that the Mets were dead last in baseball and heart

906
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: hit rate entering the day on Sunday, and I think

907
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: anybody who watches the Mets would say, yeah, while the

908
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: office is good, they're not really hitting the ball particularly hard,

909
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: very offen. Especially this week, the Mets had a slew

910
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 2: of games where they would finish out with less than

911
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: five hard hit balls. Happened, happened on Friday, happened to

912
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: I believe Wednesday, not Wednesday. Happened on Tuesday, happened on Monday.

913
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: It could have happened on the time this weekend, didn't check,

914
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: don't remember.

915
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: Then we hit one home run this weekend, I think

916
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, and that.

917
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, not many home ers to say field this year

918
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: in general. I think at numbers an eight or nine, right,

919
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: now the apple in left field. But hard hit rate,

920
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: I do just want to say it's a bit of

921
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: a flawed statistic, even as much as it's quoted and

922
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: cited on Twitter and elsewhere. It only takes into account

923
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: your ball's in play rather than every time you go

924
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: to the plate. Sooretically, strikeout kind of help your heart

925
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: hit rate the end of the day, which is something

926
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: that doesn't really make that much sense logically, it probably

927
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't wouldn't make you think of a certain baseball players

928
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: better than another baseball player. Alexander Chase one of my

929
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: fellow writers from Pitcher List. He does great work Big Day,

930
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 2: the guy he has worked on kind of figuring out

931
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: how to make hard hit rate a better statistic over

932
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: the last I want to a few years. He's read

933
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: a few piece about it, his best one coming this

934
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: past winter, I want to say about January, and he

935
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: came up with the stat that he's calling hard contact rate.

936
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: It takes all of your hard contact and divides it

937
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: by your plate appearances rather than your balls in play.

938
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: And while the Mets are still last and hard hit rate,

939
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 2: they're not last and hard contact rate. They're twenty fifth.

940
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: Not that good. Still it's certainly not that good, not

941
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: that high, not that high, but it's not last. And

942
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: just with that, the Mets this season are striking out

943
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 2: the second lowest percentage all of baseball, behind another bad

944
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: offensive team, the Kansas City Royals. But those cancer roles

945
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 2: teams are still dead last than hard contact metric. But

946
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: I just want to point this out to Mets fans

947
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 2: because I think this new style of Mets baseball something

948
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 2: we've talked about a few times, something that the team

949
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: built I think conscientiously or consciously contentiously. Something they built conscientiously.

950
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: The fact that they want to just be able to

951
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 2: put the ball in play more often. You're not getting

952
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: the ball out of City Field very often. Is one

953
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: of the hardest places to hit in all baseball in

954
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: terms of park factor. So that's not really something you

955
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: could lean into as a team, something like the Phillies

956
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 2: did where they get a bunch of boppers, but they

957
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: play eighty one games in a little league ballpark, so

958
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: that's very easy you can lean into something like that.

959
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: And this is how you see games that happen for

960
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: the Mets, both on Saturday and Sunday, where there's guys

961
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: on base there's chances, and on Saturday, balls find gloves,

962
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: defense makes plays. You don't get the hits. But then

963
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 2: on Sunday, a couple of balls drop, a ball, finds

964
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 2: a hole, you make, some things happen, you get hits.

965
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: That's the difference between zero run, one run, and ten.

966
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: It's really not that much when you look at the

967
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 2: margins of the game. But this Mets team is just

968
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: going to have a lot of variance in their daily

969
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 2: offensive output because they simply don't hit the ball hard

970
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 2: enough to really be guaranteeing themselves the types of hits

971
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 2: that score runs more frequently, whether they be extra bases

972
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: or over the wall. So this is just something I

973
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: think everyone should keep a eye out for and all.

974
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying this because I'm alluding to the

975
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: fact that there's going to be some kind of a slump. Yeah,

976
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: the fact that this Mets team scores most of their

977
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: runs via the single. It it's your base. The way

978
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 2: baseball works. Sometimes you're gonna get lucky, sometimes you're gone unlucky.

979
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 2: We're bound to go through some kind of offensive drought.

980
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: But let's have some fun while while we're here.

981
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny that US and the Yankees are

982
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: at the top of the you know, record for each

983
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: league in Major League Baseball because we kind of play

984
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: completely opposite game at the offensive side. Then the Yankees,

985
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: they're very much live and die by.

986
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: The home run, and they hit the ball incredibly hard

987
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 2: on the regular basis.

988
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they have some just crazy strong guys

989
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: on that team anyway, that they're monsters over there.

990
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 2: But like some of the softball teams, we'll see out there.

991
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, we got wrecked in softball this weekend.

992
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: It was bad. But we guys don't need to hear

993
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: about that anymore. We played great. Yeah, we just played

994
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: two polar opposite ways offensively, And I feel like this

995
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: is something that every met fan can relate to. In

996
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: the past. I mean, I haven't put out one what

997
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: is risk tweet this year. I haven't talked about the

998
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: struggles with runners in the scoring position. So yes, while

999
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: we might not have the hard hits, we might have

1000
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: the hard contact. Like some of the other teams, we

1001
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: are getting the timely hits, and like you said, that

1002
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: can lead to swamps because it's lucky.

1003
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 2: It's lucky in a sense, like there's just more variants

1004
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 2: when you're hitting singles more consistently than other types of

1005
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: bass hits. And that's just because the Mets are not

1006
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: putting balls in play especially hard. But you know what

1007
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: the Mets are doing better than a team like the

1008
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: Yankees is playing defense. Yep, the Mets are putting out

1009
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: a lot of lineups, so outher I say more defensively

1010
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: defensive forward Luis Kiyormay has been playing a lot of games.

1011
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: Luik Giroman doesn't hit that many balls hard. He had

1012
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: two on Sunday and that was great to see. But

1013
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: that's that's not as bad. Luis Giram is forte and no,

1014
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: it have to be for him to be a very

1015
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: very useful baseball player and a guy who should be

1016
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: in the lineup more days than he isn't. There's just

1017
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: a lot of ways to skin a cat to get

1018
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: a little morbid for a second, that's that's just the

1019
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 2: way the Mets are playing, and just everyone be ready

1020
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: for the variance. But again, let's enjoy the ride.

1021
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: Oh, enjoy the ride, because it was a great first

1022
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: month of Mets baseball. I'm counting today's game is still

1023
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: the first month in Met's baseball the second month, May

1024
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: officially starts. In this next series, Big one, going up

1025
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Braves, we have got four games, including

1026
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: a doubleheader, and this while they aren't playing great baseball

1027
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: right now, we know that you gotta go win this

1028
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: division through the Atlanta Braves World Series champions back in

1029
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and they just got a certain someone

1030
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: named Ronald Acuona back in the lineup, who is one

1031
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: of the five best players in baseball.

1032
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: I'm mad at myself for not realizing that Ronald Cooney's

1033
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 2: timeline was always this, like May first date completely, just

1034
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 2: forgetting the fact that the Mets first year is with

1035
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 2: the Braves was starting on May second, like this was

1036
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: always the plan. The Braves are a very smart organization.

1037
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: They are one of the teams who I'd say, know

1038
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 2: what they are doing. And they were like, Ronald Coan

1039
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: does not have to play the first month of the year,

1040
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: but once we go to the Queens, he's gonna be

1041
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 2: in the lineup.

1042
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: And he is he swimming the bat pretty well too.

1043
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the best players in baseball. Yeah,

1044
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: he's so incredibly talented. And this is a little bit

1045
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: of a slightly new look Braves team just because we

1046
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: don't have Freddy Freeman there. Now we have Matt Olsen

1047
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: playing first base. Who if you guys aren't caught up

1048
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: on Matt Olsen because he played in Oakland, he's sick,

1049
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: very very good player. You can make the argument he's

1050
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna fill in for Freddy Freeman very nicely, if not

1051
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: better at some point.

1052
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: Admirably, they still have Ozzie Albis, who's not really hitting

1053
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: well right now.

1054
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: We all know how dangerous Albi's can be. It'sh for

1055
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: power this year. That's the difference.

1056
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, Eddie Rosario's on the il World Series hero who's

1057
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: really just not that good baseball player. At the end

1058
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: of the day, we're not gonna see him.

1059
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: Austin Riley at.

1060
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: Third, really good baseball player, piss out of the ball.

1061
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: Big Travis behind the plate, which would be super interesting

1062
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: to see this series because the Mets have been running

1063
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: a lot more. As we know, Travis Darnau is incapable

1064
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: of throwing anyone out, so I would imagine the Mets

1065
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: are really going to push the envelope here when he's

1066
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: behind the plate.

1067
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: And running up. Running on teams often has more about

1068
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: the pitcher than about the catcher. But it doesn't help

1069
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 2: that Travis Darnau has a piece of Linguini attachment right now.

1070
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god, piece of Linguini was right for that.

1071
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: Ozuna is back as well. Dude's a professional hitter. It's

1072
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: really good. This team's good still the record doesn't show it.

1073
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: But the reasoning behind that really isn't lack thereof offense.

1074
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: It is the pitching has been a little bit shaky.

1075
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: The pitching hasn't been that crisp this tear.

1076
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: You didn't really hit the ball very well either. They've

1077
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: just kind of its World Series hangover. It's going to happen.

1078
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: They played for a month longer than most teams in baseball.

1079
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 2: That's just that changes your rest levels a little bit,

1080
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: It changes your fatigue levels. That shit builds like that's

1081
00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 2: what happened.

1082
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: What are a pit matchups this series?

1083
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 2: Some big pitching matchups. A lot of the pitching matchups

1084
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: I like the first one Monday Night is a battle

1085
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: of two real professionals, Chris Bassett versus Max Freed in

1086
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: a game that every single guy over the age of

1087
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: four the years old is going to love to watch.

1088
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to say crafty, because I think that

1089
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: like kind of under sells how good of pitchers. Both

1090
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: of them are, like I feel like when you're crafty,

1091
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: you think like I throw like eighty five.

1092
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 2: And Chris bass is crafty.

1093
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: He's crafted. They have good. Yeah, they're both very very

1094
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 1: solid pitchers. Freed left hand side. Obviously, he's also given

1095
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: the mets of a lot of trouble in the past.

1096
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 2: He just he's just really really good. Max Freed was

1097
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 2: always a guy who he got to the majors because

1098
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: of an incredible curveball that just carried him through the

1099
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: minor leagues. He had a mid fastball and a slider

1100
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 2: that he's always been developing. He's got a couple of

1101
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: sicks on the fastball this year. The slider's become a

1102
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: really fantastic wift pitch for him, a pitch that is

1103
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: almost as good as his curveball at this point, which

1104
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 2: is crazy to say coming from the three years he's

1105
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: been in the league. He's fantastic. It's gonna be tough

1106
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 2: to get to him.

1107
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: Gonna be tough, especially with we got a good chunk

1108
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: of lefties in our lineup as well. Jad's gonna get

1109
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: appear in Game two, which is technically Game two and three,

1110
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: right because of the double header, we will be there

1111
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: with the seven lines. So if you see a at

1112
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: the stadium, come say what's up to the boys. We'll

1113
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: be hanging out having a good time. Carrasco Versus Morton

1114
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: in Game one and then David Peterson coming back up.

1115
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: But that's what I'm assuming just based on his rest. Okay, yeah,

1116
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's gonna be him. He had a crushing

1117
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: trip La last week too.

1118
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: That's fine. He pitched in the majors, pitched well in

1119
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: the majors. It'll be in city field.

1120
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: He's working on stuff.

1121
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: He's working on working on stuff, working on things. Going

1122
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: up against Kyle Wright, who had always had hype, never

1123
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: showed it, and he's really good now. I never quit,

1124
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: never quit on Kyle Right.

1125
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: But Kyle Right, he Kyle Wright was gonna be my

1126
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 2: brave to watch in this series because he's blossoming before

1127
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 2: a very eyes. Someone who's wants top five pick, top

1128
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: ten pick in the draft.

1129
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: Hugh Mandy very much a first round pick.

1130
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: He was a very solid prospect. He came critically acclaimed

1131
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 2: to Atlanta. It took a very long time to become good.

1132
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: But he's always had a fantastic curve ball. Now he's

1133
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: just throwing it significantly more and the pitch is downright disgusting.

1134
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: Very excited to be able to watch him live, but

1135
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: not excited to watch the Mets headers try to hit

1136
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 2: him live.

1137
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's looking pretty nasty. And then Game four,

1138
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: the final game of the series, Tyler or McGill versus

1139
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: Ian Anderson, which I'm looking at the matchups now, Bastin

1140
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: Freed relatively kind if you're gonna compare them, they're relatively similar.

1141
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: Carrasco and Morton, the two elder statesmen of these you

1142
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: know rotations, both kind of can either be hit or miss.

1143
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: It seems like right now.

1144
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: Morton's had really been struggling this year. If you're playing fancy,

1145
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 2: I still call him a by low because his velocity

1146
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 2: has come back to normal. It's just kind of not

1147
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: hitting a spots earlier in the year. Old guy might

1148
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 2: just take it a couple more weeks to shake out

1149
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 2: those spring cobwebs. Might need some nice weather. Actually Land

1150
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: is always nice weather.

1151
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, short spring training, Yeah, old guy, you got to

1152
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: shake off the rust a little bit.

1153
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 2: For sure, he's still a very good pitcher. I'm still

1154
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 2: not excited to face him.

1155
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: And then our younger guys and like David Peterson, who

1156
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: we had higher hopes for a first round pick as well,

1157
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Wright first round pick, and then Tyler McGill and

1158
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: Ian Anderson, both big right handed pitchers who have been

1159
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: pretty good at times. So it's gonna be a big,

1160
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: big series. It's gonna be an important one all the

1161
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: series are. It'd be really really nice to really just

1162
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: stick it to the braves because I've been saying it.

1163
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: I feel like since I've ever started talking about baseball,

1164
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: God be Atlanta, They've always been a thorn our side.

1165
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: They've always been good. I'll never forget like the first

1166
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: what like fourteen or not fourteen ten years of our

1167
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: lives they won the division along with the years before that.

1168
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: So this is a team that I've learned to hate

1169
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: very much. So oh yeah, and I want to bury them.

1170
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: When I was a child before at Philly stuff happened,

1171
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: they were the team I definitely hated the most, Like

1172
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 2: they were that team.

1173
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: It's just they beat us every time. They had such

1174
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 1: a chipper Jones and Andrew Jones and I don't even

1175
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: some pes Larry Jones, Larry Jones, so you have my

1176
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: bad Larry Jones. Even some pesky players that I'll throw

1177
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: out some names for you, Rafael Forkl.

1178
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 2: Or remember remember our guy last year? That guy was

1179
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: really pissed.

1180
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: Mister Arte, Oh god, Ender Nciarte. He's not there anymore, right,

1181
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: n he's probably I don't know what he's doing. A

1182
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: right good got a good riddance Ender inci Arta. How

1183
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 1: about Marcus Giles. That's another It's another random Braves player

1184
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: who really wasn't that good but killed the Mets. And

1185
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: then even a guy who played for the Mets but

1186
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: killed us when he wasn't Kelly Johnson. I mean, the

1187
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: Braves have been a thorn in our side forever, the Mets.

1188
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: This is a different team than we've seen in previous years.

1189
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: This team is legitimately good. This is legitimately one of

1190
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,439
Speaker 1: the better teams in all of baseball. Yeah, and we're

1191
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: playing really good baseball too, while the Braves are not.

1192
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead, come out this series and bury the Braves.

1193
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: You have a chance to really start to separate yourself

1194
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: here if you make some noise, for sure, and the.

1195
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: Braves are a team similar to the Phillies, where their

1196
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 2: bullpen's is really not that good. So the way that

1197
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna be able to get to them in this

1198
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 2: series is just these first two games. You gotta get

1199
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: Free and Charlie mooreen out of the game early. You

1200
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 2: got to see a lot of pitches. You got put

1201
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: guys on base. Gotta make those guys get stressed early

1202
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: in the game. Get to this braz bullpen because by

1203
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 2: the third and fourth games we'll be facing and I

1204
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: don't even know who in the back of that pen,

1205
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: guys who are not that good.

1206
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: Markan is going to hit a home run on Monday night.

1207
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: You heard it here, Okay, I'm making a call. I'm

1208
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: making a call. I almost hit it with Edward o Escobar.

1209
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm calling Canna's first home run as a New York

1210
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: Met is going to come off of Max Freed. No

1211
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: no home runs. Yea. He just got his first extra

1212
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: base hit actually against the Phillies when he got that

1213
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: double that hit off the left field.

1214
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 2: Think this is what we're talking about. But the varians

1215
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: of the Mets offense Markan has hit. It was hitting

1216
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: like five hundred up until last weekend and you had

1217
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 2: no extra base hits.

1218
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: That's turning to me possible. Marky Cheerio's baby. He's reliable,

1219
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: he's there for you. He's got no spice whole grand Mark,

1220
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: but he's solid.

1221
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 2: Whole grand Mark.

1222
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: He's solid. We got all the nicknames here, Drew chains

1223
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: Edti Esco bombs.

1224
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: Your chances could stick. King Louis is pretty good.

1225
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: King Louis good. We're as we're hitting with this podcast game.

1226
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: We're starting to get clever with these nicknames. You guys

1227
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: have heard enough already though. That's pretty much all we
