00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna definitely have to talk about right now.

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Did not go well again. I don't know how many

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: series in a row the Mets have lost, but it

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: has been a minute, it feels like.

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Since we have done something very well.

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about are we gonna go game

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: by game James orre We just kind of gonna do

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: a thing we've been doing recently and just kind of

12
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: talk for like thirty minutes and just a little therapy session.

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: Let the boys air it out, a little festivus for

14
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: the rest of us.

15
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 3: I guess, just talk about it. And you just mentioned

16
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 3: the last time that's one A series. No, last time

17
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 3: that's one A series?

18
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: Was it when you were in La Yep.

19
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 3: I was in La I'm actually was suspended the day

20
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 3: that Brandon with a home run had a nice comeback.

21
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: That was the last time that's one A series. Wow.

22
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a minute, that's been It's been

23
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: a minute. We need Kelly James back. I mean, the

24
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: boys are trying to get some of that energy. We're

25
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: going to Miami. When you guys are listening to this,

26
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: we are probably gonna be on a plane to Miami

27
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: because we've got Nick's fever and we're going to the

28
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: game in Miami, spending about twenty four hour. Not even

29
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: we're spending less than twenty four hours in Miami to

30
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: see the next game, say at the hotel, fly back

31
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: to New Jersey on Saturday.

32
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: Got Nick's fever.

33
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe a little Florida Mark l of Florida

34
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: James action, maybe brings them Mets some good vibes.

35
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, just trying to get a spark any way we

36
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: can because they're just watching these Mets games right now.

37
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: Has been has been, It's been, I don't know, it's been.

38
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: It's been unfortunate. We were so blessed last year to

39
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: have such a such an easy season where we're winning

40
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: every single game, We're having major comebacks, to starting pitchers

41
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: throw six innings every single day. Everyone gets hit when

42
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: you need them to. They had to get home runs

43
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: when you need them to, and it's just it's just

44
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: it's laborious right now, Like you watch these series you're like,

45
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: what the heck? Even the one game we won this series,

46
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure half of us who weren't super locked in

47
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: in the next game five, we're watching like I wonder

48
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: how this is gonna go wrong because it's like, when

49
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: things are going right, it feels if last year when

50
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: things went wrong, it felt wrong. This year, when things

51
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: go right, it feels wrong.

52
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: So far, yeah, there's not really a whole lot that

53
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: feels great, Like Okay, so there are still some positive

54
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: things to take out of like what we've seen, which

55
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: is I know, like really probably frustrating for some people

56
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: to hear of, Like you're gonna talk about the positives,

57
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: but you know, we're gonna mention a couple of those

58
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: things too. But I guess just to address what has

59
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: been going on, like they've they've been playing bad baseball again,

60
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: like the bad baseball has continued, hasn't really looked better

61
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: even in the win, like it was a clean baseball game.

62
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: But relatively speaking, there shouldn't be really a world where

63
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: justin Ferlander and Hunter Green like two to one pitchers

64
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: due where Hundre Green didn't even shove the Bets, just

65
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: didn't hit the offense didn't show up, just like they

66
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: didn't really show up in Game three. It's frustrating. It's

67
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: definitely frustrating from a fan side perspective. Totally share with

68
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: you guys on that. Again, We're never gonna be the

69
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: ones to go up in arms and start screaming and

70
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: yelling and calling for heads or whatnot, But definitely frustrating

71
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: right now to watch the way that this team has

72
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: been playing.

73
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it looks feels I don't know, it

74
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: just feels kind of weird.

75
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: Man, it feels weird.

76
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: It's not yeah, something's like something's not there, Like something

77
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: is not there that was there last year. And it's

78
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: nothing that's not necessarily on the field or like with

79
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: with any of the coaches or anything. It's just like

80
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: there's just some like just a little bit of fire,

81
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: like where we need that's missing. It felt like we

82
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: got that for a brief moment on Tuesday, after Buck

83
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: was ejected, after Will Meyers cheated on the baseball field,

84
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: and it seemed like the team did really like, all right,

85
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: lock in, let's play some baseball, and you felt that

86
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: for the first time, and they still just came up

87
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: a little bit short and that that whole game fell

88
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: really off too because of the uncertainty surrounding Max Schurz,

89
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: and that came through like a Monday, and then David

90
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: Peterson seemingly being shut a shuttle to Cincinnati to play

91
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: this game, and then just looking completely utterly uncomfortable from

92
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: the start. There was not a moment where besides like

93
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: I think it was the third inning or the fourth inning,

94
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: David Peterson's one, one two three inning. It was a

95
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: third inning. It was like, oh, okay, actually was kind

96
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: of easy. But to get to that point, it's like

97
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: fastballs and sinkers and sliders and ground balls and fly balls,

98
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: and it's like I deep counts and it's like where where,

99
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: where's where? Where can this go from here?

100
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: Well, you said the vibeses weird.

101
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: For those of you watching on the YouTube side on

102
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: the New York Mets YouTube, you might have noticed that

103
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: I like looked off the screen a little bit, was

104
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: typing away. I mean, this is something I love to do.

105
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I love to see if mercury is in retrograde. And

106
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: do you know when it just was April twenty first

107
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: to May fourteenth, Mercury is in retrograde, which is insane

108
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: because John's been dropping us some stats that all coincide

109
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: with April twenty first. Kind I've been saying, I think

110
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: that was the day. No, I think twentieth was the

111
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: day that that series ended against the Dodgers.

112
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: It was, No, they.

113
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: Played it ended on the nineteenth twenty first. Was the

114
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: last time that was Joey Lukezy throwing seven innings? That

115
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: was at that point the Mets had won four out

116
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: of five games. No, they've won six seven out of

117
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: eight games. Yep, so they had beat the Giants seven

118
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: nothing that day. Mercury has been in retrograde since then,

119
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 1: and we know the Mets record has not been very good.

120
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: There has not been a lot.

121
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: The Mets haven't won a game by more than two

122
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: runs since what date, James.

123
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: April twenty first, April twenty first, I mean, I.

124
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: Heard that yoga the other day. I should have I

125
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 3: should have taken that to heart. They should have realized

126
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: that the content that really just into that happen. It's

127
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: been off and it's so weird that like that's the

128
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: day because people have been talking about it. I feel

129
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: like a lot like this is the worst stretch of

130
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: Mets baseball since X, and that's like something that like

131
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: us masochistic Mets fans like to do to ourselves, be like,

132
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 3: let's compare this to other pain we've had our lives.

133
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: And a lot of people immediately went back to twenty

134
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: twenty one when we had the Giant Dodgers Giants Dodgers

135
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: streak of that season and just the end. It's so

136
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: ironic that we play their best baseball this year out

137
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: in California, like on a West coast trip in the

138
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: middle of April, rather than coming home against these teams

139
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: that are like based on projections like thought to be subpar.

140
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, like whether I don't even know

141
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: what mercury in retrograde is.

142
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: Do we know what that is?

143
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: Like, what does that mean? I don't know. I think

144
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: it's something people just said. Yeah, eventually your dayd girl

145
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: does horoscopes and then you figure that stuff out, but yeah,

146
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: don't Uh.

147
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's it's getting out of retrograde in a

148
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: few days, so hopefully that's the signs of good things

149
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: to come. Just uh, just bad bad baseball recently. I

150
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: really there's no other way to kind of say it.

151
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: You can't can't lose another series to the Reds, after

152
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: losing a series to the Rockies, after getting swept by

153
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: the Tigers, after losing to the Braves and.

154
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: The Nationals and Nationals and then around the Giants. Yeah,

155
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: so they maybe we just ran through like that, like

156
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: just kind of just feels like we're in this continuous

157
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: loop of like where where's it going to come from?

158
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: Like how's it going to happen? Like when's this going

159
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: to stop? Right on day it is, And it did

160
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: stop for a moment when Justin Verlander took the mound

161
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: on Wednesday and just like looked like Justin Verlander. Besides

162
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: giving up runs in the first sitting, because that's been

163
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: a real theme of this Mets losing streak as well.

164
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 3: Here not really losing streak, but just like general skid.

165
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: They've only scored first fifteen times this year, is twenty

166
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: sixth in baseball. Last year the Mets scored first ninety

167
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: seven times, second best in baseball.

168
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: That from John and I know after the game they

169
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: were talking to Lindoor in the clubhouse and they brought

170
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: up the fact that the Mets haven't had such an

171
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: inability to score in the first sitting this year and

172
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: last year that was something that they did really well.

173
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: I think John said it was ninety seven times they

174
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: scored in the first sitting, which was the second best

175
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: in baseball, which is absolutely insane that was scored first.

176
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: Not it's just that's insane ninety seven games. But regardless,

177
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: even the idea of scoring first would be nice at

178
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: this point, not even necessarily in the first inning. And

179
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Lindor was like, yeah, like we've we've definitely noticed that

180
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: we're not scoring in the first inning, we're not scoring early,

181
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: we're not scoring often, and like you just kind of

182
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: got to hope we figure it out.

183
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: Which, yeah, like let's do it.

184
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: Let's figure it out, let's get there, let's get that

185
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: offense going. It's just it feels like nothing has really

186
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: gone right in the last two weeks, which I guess

187
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: if that's a saving grace for anybody is it's been

188
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: really really bad. And it's not like the Mets have

189
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: like gotten unlucky. They've just played bad baseball. I don't

190
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: know if that makes you feel better or worse.

191
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that makes me feel better at all.

192
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: They've allowed they they've allowed the other team to score

193
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: first and eight out of nine games, a stat that

194
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: went around today like wildfire because I think they said

195
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: it on TV and the radio, so everyone to we

196
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: eat it. At the same time, the Mets have been

197
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: outscored thirty one to nine in the first inning this year,

198
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: which is a shocking amount of runs to have given up.

199
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: And that's like almost on average, like a run per

200
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: game given up in the first inning. Yeah, it's like

201
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: you and it's like like that's that's hard. From like

202
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: a gameplay standpoint, like we gotta like get better. Now

203
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: we're in the hale. We got start. But from a

204
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: mental standpoint every single game to be like we have

205
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: to fight to win, like we have to battle to win,

206
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: like we haven't been won by two run since April

207
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: twenty first. April twenty first, a really long time ago.

208
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: That's a really really long time ago. April twenty first.

209
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: My gear.

210
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: It's just again, if you can watch the YouTube video, guys,

211
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: you can see our faces.

212
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: We are like it hurts.

213
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: It hurts as a Mets fan did not see them

214
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: play well because even they played so well last.

215
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: Year, and in the fourth inning today, I just like

216
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: got on my bike and just like Rode, I went

217
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: like all the way util I went all the way

218
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: to like Dumbo from my house, just like sat, I

219
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 3: sat near the wall and just listened to the waves

220
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: crash against the rocks with Howie in my year, just

221
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: like like listening to them as finally officially.

222
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Lose and compounded with a bad loss. Today, the ac

223
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: in my apartment doesn't work on the hottest day of

224
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three thus far.

225
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: When it's eighty degrees the.

226
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Sun's beaman, like it's a great day to be outside

227
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: one hundred, But when it's eighty degrees inside, it's a

228
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: way different feeling than when.

229
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: It's eighty degrees outside.

230
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: Like literally if we went to my thermostatus eighty on

231
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: there right now, I'm sweating like a pig. It's just

232
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: absolutely horrible right now.

233
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: Oh, we's talking about some actual baseball, I guess for

234
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: a few minutes, because I think that's for a few minutes. Yeah,

235
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: we was doing here. We referenced David Peterson uncomfortability Mark

236
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: and I just out of sheer like need to like

237
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: think figure something out. We just like spent like an

238
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: hour each on what was that Wednesday morning? Just like

239
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: looking through David Peterson's clips and videos both from this

240
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: start and starts earlier this year, then starts last year,

241
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 3: and his mechanics just look so different. Like neither of

242
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: us are pitching coaches or anything, but like you just

243
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: see like his hands are in a different spot. His

244
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: stride looks different, his light kick looks different. He's much

245
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: more upright when he comes out of this set now,

246
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: when last year he was like a little more crouchy,

247
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 3: a little more athletic looking. And then you heard Jerry Blevins,

248
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: who did such an unbelievable job. This was awesome this week,

249
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: Jerry this week, I guess yeah, Jerry was unbelievable this series.

250
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 3: Also just an Ohio guy like bringing that flare and

251
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: just gets great insight analysis. He kind of mentioned also

252
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: he has cool insight being a left handed pitcher who

253
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: threw a sly there that Peterson seems to be much

254
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: better right now and has been all year, and something

255
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: we've talked about throwing that slider against right handed batters

256
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: because he has something to aim for, like he knows

257
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: he's trying to bury that in the back foot. And

258
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 3: then I remember the TJ. Friedel at that specifically the

259
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: one that kind of broke the game. Open a little

260
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: bit on Tuesday, left handed hither he just like and

261
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: we've seen it all year with Dave Peters, and he

262
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: just lets that slide that kind of float into the

263
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 3: middle of the plate. And Jerry said, because seems like

264
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 3: he doesn't have that thing to aim for against the lefties,

265
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: which I was also watching, like for things and reasons

266
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: for this, and you see Franciscou Albret set up a

267
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 3: really nice target like Alvarez like got to the outer

268
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: edge of the plate, like got his shoulders really square

269
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: to it, like put his glove here and was like

270
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: moving it like here, here, here, and again like also

271
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, like I remember Pitture the major leagues,

272
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: Like I don't know if that's kind of target the

273
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 3: picture wants. But you just kind of feel that, and

274
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: you felt that all Europeas have that sly they're floating,

275
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: and you kind of feel that a little bit when

276
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 3: you see his like mechanics look little different because that

277
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: slider has less bite. It kind of makes sense that

278
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: he looks a little more stiff, a little more upright,

279
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: a little bit less repeatable. We've heard him talk about

280
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: that even on this podcast before that being a big guy,

281
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: it's harder to get your mechanics in check. And the

282
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: fact that he's out of sorts right now and probably was.

283
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 3: He was probably instructed to basically take a mental break

284
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: with part of the reason he was even sent out

285
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: at all, just because like, get yourself right. We've seen

286
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: you pitch well. And the worst part aasut David Pearson

287
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: stuff is that all of his freaking like swinging miss

288
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: estimators are still good. But he's still running good with rates,

289
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: he's still getting good KMEU. His walk rate's like even

290
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: this game there weren't like some of them. It was

291
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: like pretty hard contact there, but there was a lot

292
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: of just grounders that found holes and the last he

293
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: was down tick across the board seems like it was

294
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: the kind of thing where he probably didn't need a

295
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: little bit of a reset and he just didn't get it.

296
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: You know, he's got one turn in mynor leagues didn't

297
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: pitch well and that one stop there and immediately you're

298
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: called upon to replace Max Scherzer for a start.

299
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, which man, it was just it was a weird

300
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: vibe to start that game too, like we're sure as

301
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: you are getting that late scratch with neck spasms, Peterson coming

302
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: up or coming back up, the mechanics being all over

303
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: the place. Like, he definitely needs to just like pitching

304
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: some probably meaningless games that just to work on his

305
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: stuff and get back to where he was because when

306
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: his like we saw it last year, was a very

307
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: very good pitcher last year. We had super super high hopes,

308
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to say expectations, but super high hopes

309
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: for him this year based on what we saw and

310
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: just we know what the the kind of stuff that

311
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: he has and just really hasn't lived up to that.

312
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: Right now, let's talk about something that did go well

313
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: though for the Mets in Game one, Francisco Alvarez, al troll.

314
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: He's here, He's here. This dude is just such a

315
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: friggin beast. You can see the confidence is oozing out

316
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: of him now. Even before this two home run game.

317
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: He's looked better and better as the season has gone on,

318
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: as you've been getting more and more playing time, and

319
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: it all kind of came to a came to fruition

320
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: here where in Game one he hit two home runs

321
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: in this game, and he hits hit some shots with

322
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: these home runs as well.

323
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: It's kind of ridiculous. See how comfortable Alvare has even

324
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: gotten so far, Like his strikeout rate has sunk like

325
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: a stone over the last week plus. He's starting to

326
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 3: walk a little bit more. He's swinging less, which is

327
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: something I called for like about three weeks ago, and

328
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: it was like he wasn't playing well. The second you

329
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: see him swing less, you're gonna see him like really

330
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: start to take off.

331
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: And and that has to do with I think the

332
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: fact that now he is the catcher, it's his position,

333
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: it's his there's no there doesn't really seem to be

334
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: a need to prove anymore. And ever since it seems

335
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: like he's had to stop proving himself. He's been playing

336
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: significantly better, Like if you like when he started playing more,

337
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: because it looked like they just gave him the catcher

338
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: position from Tomas Nito, who's been playing so much better.

339
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again we saw toelmost neither go in the

340
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: aisle this week with dry syndrome. So this was a

341
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: game where series where Alpha has called all three games.

342
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: They game after night game as well, and like look

343
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: up behind the play doing a call code, I sanger

344
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: for the first time, and we just again we're gonna

345
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: say every single time I tweeted beut on Tuesday. We

346
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: can't forget the historical significance of what Francisco alivers is

347
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: doing right now. He is only the eighth catcher in

348
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: the history of baseball who's twenty one years younger to

349
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: have a multi home run game. Ever, dang his history

350
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: of the history of the whole thing. You want to

351
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: hear the other the first to do is since Joe

352
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: Mao were in two thousand and four. Before that, it

353
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: hadn't been done since nineteen seventy seven by one Dale Murphy.

354
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: Do you want to hear the other names of the

355
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: people who have done this?

356
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean you gave us like two borderline

357
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: Hall of famers right.

358
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 3: There, catchers twenty one years younger with multi home run games.

359
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 3: Francisco Alvarez did it this week, Joe Mauer two thousand

360
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: and four, Dale Murphy nineteen seventy seven, Butch wind Gar

361
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy six, and then the legend Bill Bill Freehan

362
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: did it twice in nineteen sixty three. And you can

363
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: never forget Hank Raskowski, the famed catcher from Cleveland. I

364
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: think I think they were the Indians by them, but

365
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: it was nineteen forty seven. They could have been the Spiders.

366
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 3: And then this one great catcher will never forget from

367
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 3: the Bah. I think this team at the time was

368
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 3: called the Boston Red Stockings. Shanty Hogan, of course, Oh Shanty,

369
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: old Shanty. You'll never forget Shanty Hogan. The bell actually wrong.

370
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: Was the Boston Braves at that time, nineteen twenty seven.

371
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: The Boston Braves.

372
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you might have forgot their name, but you

373
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: didn't forget Shanty Hogan.

374
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: No, you'll never forget Shanty Hogan. We Shanty Hogan did

375
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: in the summer of twenty seven. I'll be telling my

376
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: grandkids about. But again, the historical significance of what Francis

377
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: Squaber is doing. His guy's named Shanty did in nineteen

378
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: twenty seven. Only seven other guys did it in between,

379
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: and Bill Freehand did it twice. And then you even

380
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: look past that. He already has the fourth most home

381
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: runs ever by a catcher before turning twenty two years

382
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: since nineteen ninety and the ninth most play appearance is

383
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: by a catcher before turning twenty years old since nineteen ninety,

384
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: and the only catcher with more than two hundred six

385
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: played appearances before turning twenty two. Since nineteen ninety is

386
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: pad Rodriguez, who had a freakish twelve hundred he was

387
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: up in nineteen years old. Yeah, yeah, a specimen. But

388
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: it's it's really really, it's really marvel, marvel. Why Francisco

389
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: Alvrez is doing right now?

390
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: I think this is almost like the best accidental compliment

391
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: that I've heard of Francisco Alvarez was Keith and Andes today.

392
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone's been talking about how young Francisco Alvarez is, right,

393
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: and he goes, Alvarez is.

394
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: A young guy, but boy does he look good. He's

395
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: was he twenty three, twenty four years old or like

396
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: he's twenty one?

397
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: Keith, He's like, oh my god, like just him being

398
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: like even thinking he's a couple of years older. He's

399
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy just legally was able to start

400
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: having like a drink just recently. Like that's crazy.

401
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: Think about that.

402
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: Think about what we were doing when we were twenty

403
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: one years old.

404
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: I was at the University of South Carolina trying to

405
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: figure out what's my major going to be because I

406
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: just I'm no longer a business major.

407
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: Didn't keep the grades for that, So what am I

408
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: gonna do?

409
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, spring of my twenty twenty one year

410
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: old year, I was literally taking one class because I

411
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: could not sign up for any more classes because I

412
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: was technically like a fake student who didn't have any major.

413
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: Nice spring of my twenty one year I was. I

414
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 3: was definitely all over the place. That was. That was

415
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: like that real sweet spot before I became a senior

416
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: and I was a junior and it was it was

417
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: a nice time. I was going to study abroad that summer.

418
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: I had my first job that summer. I was like

419
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: I was, I was, I was a bit of any

420
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: male that I'm gonna be honest with you, that was.

421
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: That was a hectic few months from when I turned

422
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: twenty one February through June July that year. It was

423
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: it was kind of off the charts. But of course,

424
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: and Francisco Wilver is hitting home runs and doing things

425
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: that catchers haven't done since the nineteen forties, Shanty Hogan,

426
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: And that's serious about that. And the other worst part

427
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: about is this is that I feel like his home

428
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: runs did kind of invigorate this team, and we did

429
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: start the really genuine comeback between him and then Buck

430
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: getting ejected, and then just like Lindor and Pete hit

431
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: home runs and then Kenda had a big out battlement

432
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 3: on wound up grinding to a double play. It just

433
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: wasn't enough to get all the way there and you

434
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: lose a game seven to six. We're like, I really

435
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: just felt like one that the twenty twenty two Mets

436
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: just found a way, just gritted their teeth and found

437
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: that last run and got to extra innings and was

438
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: better than the other team they're playing. And this also

439
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: reminded me of the Monday first game against the Braves

440
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 3: last week, where it was like you really just felt

441
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: like they were gonna win and they didn't. You kind

442
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: of sat there like it's just over now.

443
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there was like the weird stuff that

444
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: happened to where will Meyer slapped the ball out of

445
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: Lindore's hand, which that was like totally should have been.

446
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: I don't know how the umpires missed this.

447
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: The umpires miss a lot sometimes it's like really tough,

448
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: like bang bang plays. This was blatant, and I don't

449
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: know why they couldn't even look at it necessarily like whatever,

450
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: the ruling was, but Buck definitely got it, got his

451
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: money's worth and was out there. He was all read

452
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: first ejection as Mets manager. But like you said, that

453
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: was kind of it. That was pretty much it. Stepheniegost

454
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: kind of also got a little screwed because he was

455
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: having a great appearance again up until this moment, and

456
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: then that happened, and then the wheels fell off and

457
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: it looked like he had another bad, bad appearance. But like,

458
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: relatively speaking to Gosack, should be a one enning guy

459
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: probably in like a perfect world, and he gives you

460
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: one pretty good winning one most of them.

461
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: To get them to thirty pitches, because then it seems

462
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 3: like kind of starts to fall off after that. Somebody

463
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: to Tommy Hunter once he gets was Tommy Hunter gets

464
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: to the third inning, it's just like all right, I

465
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: just we just got to pitch a little bit here.

466
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 3: But the word this team just kind of needs that,

467
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: like we're struggling so much. And they asked Buck before

468
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 3: the game on Tuesday, like will you looking forward for

469
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: David Pears and to say what do you want to see?

470
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: He was like just length, yeah, and it's like that's

471
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 3: all sit just just get out there and pitch and

472
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: save these guys a little bit. And that's why Game

473
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 3: two really felt so good because for the first time

474
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: since April twenty first a picture and the Mets completed

475
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: seven innings of baseball second time all year. Verlander looked great,

476
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: like shout out Joey Fuigo for the first time that happened,

477
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 3: But may tenth. Second time he gets seven innings is

478
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: really not a recipe for success. And I talked about

479
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: last start how Verlander mixed the fastball and the slider

480
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: very evenly. That's not something he's done most of his career.

481
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 3: They started, he went back to what he does normally,

482
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: which is lots of fastball, some sliders, and a few curves.

483
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: He also show a lot of emotion, which I thought

484
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: was pretty meaningful for a guy like Joseph Verlander, who

485
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 3: is quite literally coming off a World Series victories, like

486
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: one of the most accomplished pitchers that we've ever seen

487
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: in our respective lives. And he was like, I remember

488
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: over the weekend, so I'm hyping up the team, like

489
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: going through the dug out like he was like, really

490
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 3: just got like a jolt of energy when he struck out.

491
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 3: I forget who want to pitch in the dirt to

492
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: end the seventh and you're like, all right, yeah, okay,

493
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 3: some fight, some life, let's let's feel it. Let's go

494
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: big game tomorrow, rubber game and the series and when

495
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 3: we get it, and then the Red's just dink and

496
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: doing Koda sang on the first inning and then hit

497
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 3: one ball hard and you're like, damn it, Like what

498
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: what what can we do?

499
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: We used to be that Dnkin doing team that would

500
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: get that and then get the one big hit. And

501
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: it's just like right now they're besides Justin Verland and

502
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez, there's not really much clicking that's going well

503
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: as a cohesive hole for this team.

504
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: I mean, even boy Brett Bady's cold.

505
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: Like he think he's like one for twenty.

506
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been a little bit cold. So I don't

507
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 2: know what to do. I don't know what to say.

508
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: But it's just like, I mean, at the end of

509
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: the day, like they simply have to play better, especially

510
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: against these bad teams that we're playing, because I mean,

511
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: let's let's be honest again, I know we're losing, so

512
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: what does that mean for us? But like these are

513
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: not teams that we should be losing series too. You

514
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: can lose a game in a vacuum, but you should

515
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: not over three be getting dominated by the Reds, by

516
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: the Rockies, by the friggin Tigers, Like that shouldn't happen.

517
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: Tigers are blazing high right now. Tigers are storming to

518
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: five hundred. It's kind of ridiculous to watch, you know.

519
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: But it's just like I hate that kind of thinking

520
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 3: because I feel like that got us into trouble at

521
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 3: the end of last year. It did like the Mots

522
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: were the Bets were very good against teams they should

523
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 3: have been good against for most of last year. For

524
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: ninety percent of the season. They they crushed teams there

525
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: better then they handled the Marlins over and over again.

526
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 3: The Nationals, they could even get off the mat against

527
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 3: them until September, like the Phillies. When the Phillies were bad,

528
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 3: we just completely put them in their place. And feels

529
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: like now like these other teams are coming to the

530
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: park and it's like all they want to do is

531
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: beat the Mets, like we in very quickly without without

532
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 3: actually winning anything. I've gone from the team with the

533
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: target on it, from the team that like love the losers,

534
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: the target on our backs and it's like now we're

535
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 3: Gonnaye's best punch. It's like we need a better punch.

536
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.

537
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: I like how you said that, Like everybody's coming in

538
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: and it's not like we just want to win the game.

539
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: We want to beat the Mets, which everyone very much

540
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: does feel like that. Like, I mean, even think about

541
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: the Kershaw start back in Los Angeles, how pumped he

542
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: was after he got that big strikeout to go seven

543
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: innings as well, and I was like regular season game

544
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: Kershaw guy who was in April in April, uh for

545
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers. That just didn't feel very much like it.

546
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: But that tells you a lot about, like I guess,

547
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: the way people feel about the Mets on the other

548
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: side of the of the field.

549
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: The other things I want to say the wrap up

550
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: the series, just more positives. Pelens was leading league with

551
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 3: thirteen home runs. Yep, I think he does the most

552
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: now the second most RBI is in the National League,

553
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: depending on things are shaking out the rest of the

554
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 3: games today starging Marte actually had three pretty hard hit balls,

555
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 3: including one on Tuesday night or Wednesday night. He scored

556
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: like one hundred nine miles an hour. I believe it's hard.

557
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: At the season so far, we had nothing to show

558
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: for it. And then he just there were just so

559
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: many instances too in his at bats where someone just

560
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 3: left the ball over the middle and he just fouled

561
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: it off and you saw him look like why and

562
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 3: I hit that better? Yeah, And it's like it's just

563
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: as weird thing going out as team right now is

564
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 3: they're just completely in a funk. And last thing I

565
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: want to talk about, like baseball specific that is really positive,

566
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: David Robertson is not getting thinking enough credit for being

567
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: one of the best relievers in baseball start the year,

568
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: not even just closers, just relievers in general. He is

569
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: an O five to nine RA, which the second lowest

570
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: in baseball besides for yander Cano, who if you guys

571
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 3: don't know yander Cano, he's like the new freak on

572
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: the Orioles. He's like basically came from another dimension. They

573
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 3: actually acquired him in the trade for port Halopez last

574
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 3: year that they took a lot of flak for from

575
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: the Twins because they're like, oh my god, the oriole

576
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: is a pushing for the playoffs, they trade their set

577
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: up man.

578
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.

579
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 3: And then Felix Patista became like the best, one of

580
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 3: the best relievers in baseball. They had Dylan Tate was incredible.

581
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: Now they've taken you and your cano and they've added

582
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: so much, like so much more spin on like just

583
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: gotten like much more efficient spin on his sinker and

584
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: getting tons of drop. It's it's it's it's a super

585
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 3: uique pitch watchpen. He has' give up run yet he'sivenim

586
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: three base runners the whole season. It's yeah, oral dumb.

587
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: David Roberson's second best right now behind him. Thirty four

588
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: percent strikeout raid for David Robertson, also his best in

589
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, which was like a lifetime ago for David Roberson.

590
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: That was like an arm surgery, I think a Tommy

591
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: john Her shoulder surgery ago and a stint like with

592
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: Team USA. It was bizarre. And his walker has dropped

593
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 3: five points from last year, which is something that the

594
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: Phillies were not able to wrangle in with him. Last

595
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: year really skyrocketed when he was with them, and the

596
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 3: Mets have gotten that really in check. So he's been

597
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: really important to the actual the wins that we have had,

598
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: and I don't think it can be understated how valuable

599
00:22:59,119 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 3: he's been to this team.

600
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: I think we've said it a bunch of times about

601
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: how good this bullpen is, and it's definitely been the best

602
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: thing about this team this year. But like, remember when

603
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: Diaz got hurt and everyone was like, this guy's fallowing.

604
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: We can't win the World Series now because that when

605
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Diaz is hurt, Well, boy do we wish that was

606
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: our biggest problem right now?

607
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: It'ud be amazing because it'd be it'd be solved because

608
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 3: David Robinson's amazing. Also, just want to shout something out too.

609
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: I remember last year when Phillies traded for David Robinson,

610
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: the Mets has organization got a lot of flak because

611
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: the Phillies traded what the headline was, the twenty sixth

612
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: best prospect in their organization for David Robertson. That prospect

613
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 3: wound up being a guy named Ben Brown, who we

614
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: said over and over again is actually incredible, Like he

615
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: was a twenty six ranked prospect, but that was that

616
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: was a BS ranking because he had an incredible season

617
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: and he's continued that right now. Was in Triple A

618
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 3: for the Cubs, running like a forty percent strikeout rate,

619
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be pitching the major leagues probably before

620
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: July first. Oh yeah, there's a good chance he successful

621
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 3: the good curveball, good slider, and a really really good fastball.

622
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 3: So that was what the Phillies traded the way to

623
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: get half year David Robinson right now, guy like that

624
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: would do on hundreds for this organization.

625
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, uh, definitely, That's something I guess we

626
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: could talk about maybe when we get a little bit

627
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: the mail bag after we wrap up the series and

628
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: do the estimate stuff. But there's gotta be a we're

629
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: gonna try to figure out a way maybe to help

630
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: fix this. I don't know, something, something's got to change

631
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: here for the Mets, and we needed to happen soon

632
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: because I can see you, guys. I can you're driving

633
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: in your car listening or you're watching on YouTube, and

634
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: I can see your face.

635
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: You're so frustrated, just like all of us.

636
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 3: We're like, yeah, curse tell us when they suck.

637
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's not it, that's not how we roll.

638
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: But also like at the same time, like you have

639
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: every right to be frustrated right now as a Mets

640
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: fan without a doubt.

641
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

642
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: Also a funny thing that happened in the game today.

643
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 3: I was listening on the radio because I just took

644
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: aim bike rag because I want to feel some sun

645
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: and try and try and discover joy. And I was

646
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: listening to Keith Rat and how we talk about Skyline

647
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: because Keith Rad we talked to him. He went he

648
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 3: was a dating flyer, so he is very used to

649
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: Skyline chili in the Cincinnati realm in general, and how

650
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: we was watching him eat it like disgusting, like he

651
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 3: was ridiculous. He's where'd you get that chili? The go

652
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: on his canal like dropped. He was dropping insane lines

653
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: on Keith Rat and making fun of the chili. And

654
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: then Keith Rad was like, yeah, it's a good Max.

655
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: You got the cheese down here, and there's some cinnamon.

656
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: How we goes cinnamon in there?

657
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: Who are we talking about with Skyline chili the other day?

658
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: Who are we talking about?

659
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: Remember somebody and I found out there were cinnamon in

660
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: the chili and I was like that and chocolate and

661
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: chocolate apparently too.

662
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: Is that a thing?

663
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: Oh before, Yeah, that's what it was.

664
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: It's just absolutely foul that they put that with cheese

665
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: and spaghetti and whatever else they put there. It's it

666
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: looks like something well and I can't eat it too.

667
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to eat it.

668
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, all the the day one mess up listeners.

669
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: Remember my story about Skyline Chili living in Ohio for

670
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: five years from from way back in the day. It's

671
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 3: just I was so appalled by what it was. But

672
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 3: I mean, Keith likes it, so I'm not gonna yuck

673
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 3: someone's arm. So I guess I guess. I guess that's

674
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 3: the Red Series. Yeah, I guess that's the Red Series.

675
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: Good time to bring in a Johnny Stats here to

676
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: go over the estimate for the upcoming series against.

677
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: I just completely forgot who are we playing? Washington Washington Nationals.

678
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, completely forgot, literally just left my mind. It doesn't

679
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: really matter who we play right now. I just gotta

680
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: play better and hopefully beat the team. So what's the

681
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: estimate that we're looking at for this National series?

682
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 3: Oh?

683
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 4: God, thank god for the warm weather, Am I right?

684
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 3: Guys? Yeah?

685
00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: Right, guys.

686
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 4: I went on two walks today. That's and I don't

687
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: usually do that, but I gotta be brief. I got

688
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 4: some turkey burgers to make, so we'll get to it

689
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 4: real quick. The Mets of Nationals, believe it or not,

690
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: the least strikeout in those two lineups and all of baseball,

691
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 4: the Nationals had the lowest k rad offensively. The Mets

692
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 4: had the second lowest k raid entering the day offensively.

693
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 4: So I know a few episodes ago we did Scherzer

694
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 4: and Verlander combined strikeouts. We're gonna channel it in another

695
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 4: direction based on what I just told you, guys, and

696
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 4: this week's gonna be the total strikeouts in the not

697
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: three but four game series between the Mets and the

698
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 4: Nationals coming up.

699
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a good question, John, I like that one strikeouts.

700
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: What are the pitching matchup teams? You haven't by any chance?

701
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. Well, there was a meme those going

702
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 3: around all day because s n Y I flashed the

703
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: graphic seemingly trying to really, you know, bite into what's

704
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: going on with this mess team right now. Whereas a TBA,

705
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 3: t B A, t B A and TBA for the

706
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 3: Mets pitchers in the in the series against Nationals, which

707
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: I don't really think is true because we know we're

708
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: gonna get McGill Lukezy, and next Monday is gonna be

709
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 3: Verlin and if possible, Sunday is going to be Sureser.

710
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: If not, it's going to be Probley Peterson again. So

711
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: I think that was them like really trying to stroke

712
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 3: a stroke what's going on with this team right now?

713
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 3: But as of right now, it seems like, based on

714
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: the last day these players have pitched, it's gonna be

715
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 3: mcgilversus Mackenzie Gore Friday, seven o'clock, Saturday four or five,

716
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 3: Lukez versus old friend Trevor Williams Sunday one thirty five,

717
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: maybe sures Or Peterson against. I think this is Jake Irvin,

718
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: I believe, yeah, Yeah, that's that's the Mother's Day Mattine.

719
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 3: And then Monday, weird Monday at series ending at four o'clock,

720
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: hopefully got the next game after Justin Verlander versus Patrick Corbin,

721
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 3: a good old fashioned ased off. Okay, I remember.

722
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 4: Last year they played a four o'clock getaway day game.

723
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 4: That was when Vogel back at the Grand Slam in DC,

724
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 4: the series where de Grom came back. It's a weird

725
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: time for a getaway day.

726
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: They also the opening series last year against Nationals, if

727
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: I remember correctly, that was the famous game that Trevor

728
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: Williams pitching relief in the eighth inning against Juan so

729
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: Though on a Monday getaway day. Yes, oh, when the

730
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: series ended.

731
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, I've got my mark, Mark he won

732
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 4: the last one. You were twenty one total run scored

733
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 4: in Cincinnati for those for those counting at home, thank

734
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 4: god we didn't do expected batting average uture base hits.

735
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 4: There weren't many, although pin Alonzo at a home run

736
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 4: that one gotten one third of the Major League park.

737
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 4: But that's okay.

738
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 3: The first Alvas home run to the opposite fielder that

739
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: probably was kind of a weird one.

740
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 4: That was a g A BP special.

741
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: Yees. Yeah, all right, I got my number games you

742
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: give me, give me, well, give me one second with

743
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: this number. Now, what are you running crunching numbers there? Yeah,

744
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think how many batthers come up in

745
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 3: the average game. It's like like forty ish.

746
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'd say about forty ish yeah.

747
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, give or take.

748
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, the metrics metric lucky, I gotta say, does I agree?

749
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: He has been since Yeah, he's been really good.

750
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 4: Local guy, new Rochelle guy. We're kind of lucky were

751
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: not seeing him in the series. I must say he

752
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: has been.

753
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 3: I just feel like it's good as this could be

754
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: would be so off.

755
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: I got mine play the game. Yeah, that's why we

756
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: play ready, right?

757
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

758
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Three two one, show it? I got sixty whoa eight? Okay,

759
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: so sixty for middle point, sixty eight for James. No

760
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: middle point there, so anotherre is a middle point?

761
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: Dang it?

762
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: We love if it's even there's a middle point.

763
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 3: The middle point episode.

764
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the new meme, along with giving John

765
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: a different nickname. But yeah, we'll keep it short with

766
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: you guys for this one. Thanks John for the estimate.

767
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: Enjoyed the weather. Yeah, let's go ahead and talk about Yeah.

768
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 3: Oh, turkey burgers, God are good. Don't don't hate on

769
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: turkey burgers.

770
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, turkey burgers are good. If you your other options

771
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: eating garbage?

772
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: Uh? Otherwise not sure.

773
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: If you could have a burger, why would you choose

774
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: to make a turkey ground beef.

775
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: Is far superior, far superior? Why would you want a

776
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: lesser burger?

777
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: Significantly less healthy? Maybe health? Whatever? You don't care about healthy? Okays?

778
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: All right, wrapping up this episode here, let's go ahead.

779
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't need to preview the Nationals. We

780
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: just played them recently, So I just wanted to do

781
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: maybe like some mailbag and answer some of the tweets

782
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: that people gave us, which will be nice. So one

783
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: of the ones that's been saying right now is just

784
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: about like turning the season around.

785
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: Shouts to our guy Nick ko Wala. He's like, well, the.

786
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: Mets do anything to turn the season around or like

787
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: is it just gonna keep being trying to figure it out?

788
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: And I do think that they're gonna do something, Like

789
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: I at least from the outside perspective, you got to

790
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 1: think that they do something.

791
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: Does that mean well, maybe maybe I'd rather play.

792
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: Better, Maybe they acquire somebody, maybe they call people up,

793
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: But like I feel like they're probably gonna get a

794
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: little creative now of like how to maybe beat this

795
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: little slog that's been going on. I mean, there's some

796
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: guys in the Miners, especially on the pitching side, like

797
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: Mike Vassal take a look at him. If you guys

798
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: are a Mets fans and like to look at Miners guys,

799
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: he's been tearing it up in double A. Granted double A,

800
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: of course it's not triple A. But he's been tearing up.

801
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: He's running like a forty percent k rate and walking

802
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: nobody Like. Maybe that's what we have to start looking at,

803
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: is going a little bit deeper in the farm and

804
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: being like, let's see if these guys can get a

805
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: shot at the major league level if we don't have

806
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 1: the pitching that we're getting right now.

807
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike Vassel I think is really interesting option because

808
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 3: he has what he's kind of the big differentiator between

809
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: a guy who can make in the majors for a

810
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 3: guy who can't, even when you have like not as

811
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: much pethegree a guy like Vassal doesn't really have like

812
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 3: prospect ranks and stuff, and that he has a fastball

813
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: with legitimate caarry like, it's I think just based on

814
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: the physics of it. I haven't seen numbers four because

815
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 3: we don't have that until a guy gets to triple A.

816
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 3: And we're seeing a lot of pitchers jump straight from

817
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: double A the majors this year, especially even guys that

818
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: aren't even skipping the pcl anymore. We saw Bryce Miller

819
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 3: just now go from double A to the majors. We're

820
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: bad to Uri Perez make his debut going right from

821
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: Double A to the majors. That makes a little hard

822
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: for us to try try to analyze these players because

823
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: we don't we can't see the data on them because

824
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: that's not public domain. Triple A now is on Baseball savon,

825
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: which is really nice. You can see pictures, movement and

826
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: the physics of their pitches. But Vassal just like literally

827
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: the eye test of that fastball. It's got hops, got Carrie,

828
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: it comes in hard. He's a big dude, like he's

829
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: got he's got those good picture hips where I like

830
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: seeing the pitcher hits you really push off, get those

831
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 3: back legs, and right now he's running kind of ridiculous

832
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: numbers in Double A. Like you said, the era is

833
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: in the threes. But I'm so I'm so over Martin

834
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: League eel right, I mean like so little, like all

835
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 3: these guys are there working on something like these minor

836
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: league teams aren't there necessarily to win or lose games?

837
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 3: Are there so these guys can be as good as

838
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: possible for the majors. With a great discussion on this

839
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: with a you know, Sirius's rates and barrels. Literally today

840
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: when I was on that bike ride, be striking out

841
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: forty percent of guys in double A and walking less

842
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 3: than five percent, Like thirty five point three came I

843
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: as walk. Great hitters are hitting one sixty three against him,

844
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: Like his stuff seems too good for the level, and

845
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: I think he very legitimately could be useful at the

846
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: major league level, and we just he needs to be

847
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 3: out to the forty men roster, so that's something has

848
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: to happen. But I do think he's someone who could

849
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: really be an option sooner rather than later.

850
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, could definitely hun six five, two thirties big boys,

851
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: a big boy Virginia bull as well. That's a good,

852
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: good baseball school.

853
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: Jordan Simpson, you guys might have seen this guy. He

854
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: made uh.

855
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: I think he did the s and Y beat from

856
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: scratch and he might be doing a little something with us,

857
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: which is really cool as well. So shout Jordan. He

858
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: gave us one. So there's a lot of talk about

859
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: calling up the kids. Big thing right now is honestly,

860
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: Pete Martey lind Or. They've been cold, and I think

861
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: that's that's safe to say. They haven't really been playing

862
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: their best baseball right now? Is there a potential impact

863
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: that these guys could maybe bring bigger energy spark? Do

864
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: we think that maybe like the energy of some of

865
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: the younger guys could be contagious if someone gets called

866
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: up like is that Do.

867
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: We think that's something that could happen? And I don't know.

868
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: I think right now, where the Mets are at, with

869
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: how they're playing, it feels like there's a little bit

870
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: of pressing going on.

871
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: For sure.

872
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: I think the guys know that they're playing bad baseball

873
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: and this is not the kind of baseball that was

874
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: expected of the team or that they expect to play.

875
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: So maybe, I don't know, just loosen up a little bit,

876
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: I have some It's gonna sound weird, but maybe like

877
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: go back to having some fun.

878
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't.

879
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: Know what it is, but there definitely does seem to

880
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a lack of that spark,

881
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: like you were saying, Jordan, for sure.

882
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to bring the boys to the other

883
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: with us for something. Yeah, get this team loose, have

884
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 3: a couple of pitchers, and just have some fun. Throw

885
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: some strikes, pins, get knocked down. Anyone in the mess

886
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: that wants to come to the gather with me and

887
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 3: Mark and some of our friends anytime it's it's always open.

888
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 3: But just yeah, just got you just see you go

889
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: through sometimes kind of like the basketwuad is like take

890
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: the live off. Like I feel like this team just

891
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: needs to like have a game where it's like I

892
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: don't know probably the right term, but it's the one

893
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: that makes the most sense of my brain. A now,

894
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: just like an exorcism where like the men, like the Mets,

895
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 3: just walk up against Jake erv and just hit six homers, yeah,

896
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 3: score fourteen runs, be like all right, this baseball is fun,

897
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 3: like it's supposed to be fun. This is a game.

898
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a deep breath, like a wow, okay, there's.

899
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 3: The or there's the pitching. Yeah, or just have one

900
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 3: of these like comebacks that comes to fruition like that

901
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 3: Braves one of these reds. One would have been it.

902
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: But just like we're down six to one and we

903
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 3: just scored nine runs and we won the game, and

904
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 3: now baseball's fun again. Just need that moment where it's like,

905
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 3: let's be united, like it's it's just playing like this

906
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 3: can't be fun. And we've heard these guys ever every

907
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 3: single day, be like this is not like this is

908
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: non enjoyable. It's like it's no. I hate when fans

909
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 3: like call it like a lack of effort, because it's

910
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 3: not a lack of effort. That's something that really irks

911
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 3: me as a sports fan when people like type like

912
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 3: go at the effort of these professional athletes who have

913
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 3: invested every single thing in their lives into this craft

914
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 3: that we're so lucky to be able to watch because

915
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 3: they're so good at it. It's not effort. It's never effort,

916
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: and it's like it's just just actually, just see that

917
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 3: ball go in would be so cool for them.

918
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: Definitely, And shout out to everybody who replied to our tweet.

919
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: A lot of the tweets were relatively the same of like, hey,

920
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: playing bad, how do we get better? How does how

921
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: do how do we get out of this hole? And

922
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean it really is as boring of an answer

923
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: as you have to play better. These guys are very

924
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: good baseball players. We saw it for one hundred and

925
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: sixty two games last year. We've seen it over their careers.

926
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: We know that they all have the ability to play

927
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: perform better. And there are guys who are playing great still,

928
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: but we definitely need you know, Lindor Pete, everybody, Marte, Cana,

929
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: whoever it is, everybody needs to step up a little bit,

930
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: play a little bit better, because I mean any on

931
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: the pitching side too, We need those guys to step

932
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: up too, just straight up have to play better baseball.

933
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: Sounded like a broken record, but that's it's the truth.

934
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't think there's really like any secret answer to

935
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: like what is going on right now with the Mets.

936
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: No, it's just it's just stinks. Like the vibes are bad.

937
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: It's just bad vibes. Like hearing these guys after the game,

938
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: it's like to reporters throw these stats of them about

939
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 3: how bad they are. They're like, I don't know what

940
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 3: to say to that someone and Door like, how's it

941
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 3: feel to be shut out seven times already this year?

942
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: Unless you guys are only shut at eight times? He

943
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know answer that. The hats off.

944
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: The other guys were play agains. They're shutting us out

945
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: like good, they're playing well, they're playing better than we are.

946
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't there's no response, like what can

947
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 3: you say? Like you stink? Give a microphone. I don't know, Okay, yeah.

948
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: I mean there's probably nothing else that we can really

949
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: talk about with this one bad series against the Reds.

950
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Would really love to put this awful stretch of baseball

951
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,440
