Speaker 1: The Mets win another series against the Kansas City Royals.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: This is indeed a Jose Buddho podcast. And Doc Gooden

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: got his day in the sun as well as the rain.

Speaker 1: We'll talk all about it. What is up, Mets fans?

5
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of the Mets Dub podcast.

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: And boy oh boy, got something cooking here a little

7
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: bit again. You heard it in the intro. This is

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: a Jose Buddo podcast. It was from the start, It

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: was last year, It always has been, it always will be.

10
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Jose Buddho looked great. The Mets take a series from

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: the hot Kansas City Royals, which is big. Big. Mets

12
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: have won seven of their last ten, playing some good baseball,

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: tight games, and when Diaz closing it out for his

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: first save of the year at City Field, which was great.

15
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor knows how to hit right he still doesn't

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: know how to hit lefty. There's a lot to talk

17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: about in this series. I was at the stadium on

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Friday night as well. James, just a little a little

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: tracker on you. How are we doing, where you're at?

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: What country are you in right now?

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: Still? Morocco just got back from camping to Sahara Desert

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: a few hours ago. I still have sand in my

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: ears and my hair, like all over my clothes. I'm

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: wearing dessert pants right now. You guys can't see.

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: I can't get a desert pants.

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: A desert pants. Okay, let me see again.

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: YouTube YouTube, audience, you got to see what Jameson's hotel

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: room looks like as well. Oh those are desert pants.

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah they're good desert pants. But yeah, the Mets keep

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: winn while I'm here, so I might just have to

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: start the new life for myself in the desert. I

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: just were just I felt comfortable there. I rode the

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: camel like it was all. It was all working, it

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: was all coming together, but had long bus rides there

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 2: and back. Caught watch replays of the first two games

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: of the series, watch Game three live, the docs ceremony,

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: and just an amazing series for the Mets again, like

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: everything that we thought was going wrong with this team

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: a week and a half ago is now just suddenly

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: going right. There's timely hitting, there's good defense, there's great

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: starting pitch because of Jose Boudeau. Is just it was

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: an awesome serious and this team is really, really, really

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: fucking fun right now.

44
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're playing some solid baseball. They are still I

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: think lackluster offensively, and that's a big reason being that

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Francisco Indoor still really just doesn't know what's going on

47
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: with his left handed swing. And I think that's something

48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: that we will address a little bit more in this episode.

49
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: We have to talk about it, what's going on there,

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: what to do, all that kind of stuff, because now

51
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: it's it's becoming a little bit of a problem. I

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: will say, I love Francisco Lindor. I think he's so good.

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: But there's a conversation we had about maybe not hitting

54
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: left handed anymore for the season or just for a

55
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: little bit of time. I don't know. We'll talk about it,

56
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: but we'll talk about but go the vibes are really

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: good right now in Mets world. I'm gonna be a

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: part of that group that's not gonna say anything. I'm

59
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: gonna take the wins. We're gonna talk about what happened,

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: but we're not gonna talk about the team as a

61
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: whole right now, because I see there are some people

62
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: who are like the Mets are and then you can

63
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: fill in the word the Mets are getting hot. The

64
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Mets are back. Whatever they're saying, I won't be I

65
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: won't be one of those people to say it, but

66
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: you can just kind of here as a podcast, I

67
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: think we can acknowledge quietly, you know what we're thinking.

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's possibly a word before leathers. The Mets might be.

69
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: They could be. It's possible they are. We thought they

70
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: might have been early before the season, then we thought

71
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: they definitely were not when the season began, and now

72
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: they could be. They might be. And I think the

73
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: win on Friday was kind of the night where that

74
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: was felt. And I know you were in the ballpark

75
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: that night. You had a pretty funny tweet talking about

76
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: the massive the massive crowd that made that city field

77
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: to pick Friday night for the Mets. So just tell

78
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: me about the vibes in the park, because that was

79
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: the first Friday night game of the season.

80
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Hot take, Hot take on a game like that, How

81
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: do I love when the stadiums empty? I just get

82
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: to walk around and there's no lines for anything, get

83
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom, you want a beer, it

84
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: takes you two seconds. And I love you guys, but

85
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: like sometimes a thing that draws me insane is not

86
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: when it's packed, but it's when it's packed and people

87
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: are like, oh, I'm gonna stand in the middle of

88
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: the concourse, I'm gonna stand at the top of the

89
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: section and not move and just be in the way.

90
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: That's when it gets annoying. So hot take kind of

91
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: nice sometimes when the ball park's a little bit empty,

92
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: especially when it's not a big game, like a Friday

93
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: night in April against the Kansas City Royals is not

94
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: necessarily a big game. The vibes were dead, there was

95
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: nothing going on in the same one didn't wear the

96
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: black jerseys. That felt weird. I don't know why they

97
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: weren't wearing black jerseys on Friday night. Also, looks like

98
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: the DJ thing on Friday nights might be over because

99
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: there was no DJ out in the outfield. Also, I

100
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: didn't notice the Queen's crew, So I'm a little bit confused.

101
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Because fan engagement, fan engagement, we've heard that word a lot.

102
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say a lot this year, there was little

103
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: to none on Friday Night. That being said, though, I

104
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: had a blast and it maybe even better that the

105
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Mets won. Got to hang out the k corner. Finally

106
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: had my first three Dollar Corps light, which I will

107
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: promote the hell out of that, even though we're not

108
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: with the team three Dollars beers at the K Corner,

109
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: they weren't playing music for the first forty five minutes

110
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: that I was there, so it was awkwardly quiet, and

111
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: they only had two bartenders working for the entire bar,

112
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: which again I don't know how that's possible. The TVs

113
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: were off, like there are things me and you have

114
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: talked about before, like you want to be a bar

115
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: TV consultant. You're like, I want to tell you what games,

116
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: what channels to put on the TV. They desperately needed that,

117
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: and they also just needed maybe a little bit of

118
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: a younger crowd behind the bar as well. It was

119
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: a season veterans back there, but that being said, had

120
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: a great time. Game was fun. I caught my first

121
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: T shirt the year, made an incredible snag. I was

122
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: sitting down it was like the six or seventh inning,

123
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: and I was talking to my friends about how great

124
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: I am at getting T shirts at a game. And

125
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: you've seen it in person, a magnet when they comes

126
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: to the T shirts, all of a sudden, one gets

127
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: shot up into the three hundreds Shout out Will. By

128
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: the way, shout Will Lupica gave us free tickets me

129
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: and my friends to the game. Shout out to him.

130
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: Really appreciate Gio Bear at a game t shirt. Just

131
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: out of the corner, my eye comes up. I just

132
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: stand up, snag it, stick it with my right hand,

133
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: right in front of my friends, right in front of

134
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: girls in behind us, and everyone was like, oh, that

135
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: was a really impressive catch. And granted that was with

136
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: a few Coors lights in me, so you know, props

137
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: to me. Had a great night and great win for

138
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: the Mets too. Vibes were down, but the team played

139
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: really well and got to see the Francisco Lindoor standing ovation,

140
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: which was kind of not existent because there wasn't that

141
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: many people, but the people in the stadium acknowledged it,

142
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: and everyone seemed to be very focused in front about

143
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: like we want to cheer for Francisco Indor, which I

144
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: think is.

145
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: Cool acknowledging the stadium. Also, you didn't watch acknowledge On

146
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: the broadcast. Gary was talking about it just about like

147
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: it caught wildfire on social media and hundreds of thousands

148
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: of people were involved in talking about this, and I

149
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: see it and Lindor also seemed to very much appreciate it.

150
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: And now a little bit yeah, yeah, and again with

151
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: Lindor at the point now where I don't I don't

152
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: think he's very much pressing anymore. He's still swung in

153
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: a few bad pitches this weekend, but every HiT's going

154
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: to swing at bad pitches. It's the approach is not

155
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: as bad as it wasn't think the first few games

156
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: of the season, and his strikeout rate is like ten percent.

157
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: It's really not like a swinging mississue with him anymore.

158
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: It's just the fact that when he has that left

159
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: handed swing, he's either behind on the ball or he's

160
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: popping it up, or it's a dribbler. It's just there's

161
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: no there's no mechanics going there with the left side

162
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: right now.

163
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: But well, in the first swing of that game too,

164
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: after he got the ovation, he had a foul ball

165
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: home run into the Coca Cola corner and when it

166
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: left the bouse like, oh my god, we did it,

167
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: we did it, We fixed them. We give an ovation.

168
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: He's back, and then he proceeded to like have a

169
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: couple you know, lazy pop ups, like you said, with

170
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: the left hand swing, it's just it's so long right now,

171
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: it's so long, there's no aggressiveness, and he's doing that

172
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: weird thing that we've seen the last few years were

173
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: like his hand comes off the bat like weirdly at

174
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the end of his swing. I don't know, I can't

175
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: break it down. I don't know what that's all about,

176
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: but I'd really consider almost swinging right handed only worst.

177
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: Case scenario though, like the fact that didn't exactly spurn

178
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: Lindor to get hot immediately. The rest of the team

179
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: seemed to feel it. Steve Cohen tweeted about it. The

180
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: Beat reporters were talking about Carlsmandoz was talking about it.

181
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: Everyone was like it was cool to see like the

182
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: fan base be positive, like there weren't that many fans there.

183
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: But again, just the fact that that Friday game was fun,

184
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: the fact that Salvador Perez hit a home run early,

185
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: which had to send a shiver down your spine to

186
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: see the ball of Salvador Prez's back go over the

187
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: fence and city field and I'm not the warmest night,

188
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: but like offense comes right back and gets him. We

189
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: had multiple two out rallies, one with Nimo and Bather

190
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: who Bather's kind of swinging to go back right now.

191
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: He was like by Happenstance the hero on Sunday, but

192
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: he's like hitting a lot of good groundball singles and

193
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: then being like using his a letticas him not to

194
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 2: try and take second base on singles, but to steal

195
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: some basses and to score from second on singles. So

196
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: it's like that he's doing things that are going to

197
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: keep Harrison Bay there on the field, and this is

198
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: the whole Harrison beat thing like him. It's also funny

199
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: because Sunday it was I think the first brand and

200
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: most start in center field of the year, maybe the

201
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: second brand and most start in set of field of

202
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: the year, and he had a pure conseco. So just

203
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: a weird situation where like, oh, it is nice having

204
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: a really good center field defender, like O think the

205
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: most now the good center field defender, but just like

206
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: a stud center field defender. But back to Friday, also

207
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: to at rallied and early in the game Baby started

208
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: it Rbiz by Jeff and DJ DJ Stewarts hots no

209
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: more DJ's the ballpark us and them all gone from

210
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: fan engagement this year. But are DJ on the field

211
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: is still ripping. And then I loved watching Sevy pitch

212
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: in this start because like it was a game where

213
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: he didn't have his best stuff, and if you're saying it,

214
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: like the crowd like was kind of dead TV. It

215
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: seemed like people were still cheering, like I could hear it,

216
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: but like he was so jacked up to get through

217
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: this game, get him outs and get his first winning

218
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: city field. And there was something with him and Manaia

219
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: on Saturday. They were pitches were moving less. I don't

220
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: know if the weather was bad or if.

221
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: It was like it was so windy, so windy, all.

222
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: Right, so windy, a little dry, hard to grip the ball,

223
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: that makes sense to them, but just allowed one hit.

224
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: But the Worlds got four walks four strikeouts, which their

225
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: team doesn't really walk a ton and does strike out

226
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: a good bit. But the fact they had four walks

227
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: four strikeouts getting not the best stuff, and he threw

228
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: like no fastballs is also right handed hitters, but it's

229
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: always really weird this It was all colors, sweepers, sliders

230
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: and lefties who were just only throwing fastballs like that.

231
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: I guess was a game plan, was a plane of

232
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: attack because it was so stark what he was doing

233
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: versus each side of the plate, but no one had

234
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: any damage. And then there was like great pop off

235
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 2: when he got through the fifth inning because he definitely

236
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 2: seemed like he wanted to get that win. The Mets

237
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: had a few run lead and Bobby Wood comes up

238
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: with two men on. I think it's the tying run.

239
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: And we talked about Bobby Witt in the preview this year,

240
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: so that he and Mets fans, you guys saw it

241
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: first hands, weekend offense, defense, bases, like he's become one

242
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: of the best players in baseball. He's he I might,

243
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: I might be ready to give him the manfl of

244
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: best shortstop in baseball already, just take it from Lador

245
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: and Seeger because he just there's nothing he does bad

246
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: right now, nothing even does that well, like everything is elite.

247
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: But seve On a three to two sweeper, kase him up,

248
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 2: dice him up, dirty pitch, and he just screams, just

249
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 2: gets so jacked up in the fifth inning of a

250
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: game in April against the Royals, like that's I feel

251
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: like we haven't had like a motion like that from

252
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: pitchers in a long time with this team because we again.

253
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: Last few years has been to Grom, It's been sure As,

254
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 2: there's been Verlander, guys who are studs, almost all of

255
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: them Hall of famerus, if not all of them. One

256
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: day and it's just like this, this reverence on the mounds.

257
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: But now sever Reno and then also with Budo on Sunday,

258
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: you see this, this this lack of a better term,

259
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: machismo from these pitchers, like some people really getting into

260
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: the game and really down to just get some big

261
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: apps when you need them.

262
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are playing obviously they want to win.

263
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying like these guys don't want to win,

264
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: but they are playing for something different than those guys

265
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: like Surezer and Verlander or who have been there, who

266
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: have been great, They've had their big moments. They're like,

267
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: I've pitched in the World Series. I can't pop off

268
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: in April. That's not gonna happen. But for Severino, for Budo,

269
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: for Manya, for basically everybody in this rotation, they are

270
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: pitching for their next Like most of these guys are

271
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: not going to be guaranteed starting pitchers in Major League

272
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: Baseball next year unless they continue to pitch well So

273
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: for a guy like Severino, like you said, get through

274
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: those five innings to get the win in this game

275
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: means a lot for him, especially on a night when

276
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: the temperature and the climate and the wind just really

277
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: wasn't in his favor to grind that one out. It

278
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: was a grinder. He grinded out that start because he

279
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily efficient. Like you said, he did get into

280
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: some trouble. He walks some guys. They put some good

281
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: hits on the ball, but the Mets were able to

282
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: get avid. He only gave up one run and then

283
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: they just kept chipping away too. Like Brett Batty is

284
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: a good baseball player, roped it over Kyle Isbel's head

285
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: and center field that really broke the game open. He's

286
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: just having so much more fun. It's infectious the energy

287
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: that he show on the field. They showed it even

288
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday when Lindor got a hit. Baby's yelling out

289
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: of the dugout, screaming at him. When they're shaking hands

290
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: after the game, doing like the high fives. He's joking around.

291
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: He has like high fives and handshakes with all these players.

292
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: This is the kind of vibes that I think the

293
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: Mets had been missing. And it's not because these guys

294
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: weren't friendly. It's not because they didn't have the good vibes.

295
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: But it felt like the younger players who are supposed

296
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: to be these spark plugs like Baty and Alvarez were

297
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: just a little bit less comfortable, where now they're totally like,

298
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm a part of this team. I'm

299
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: a part of the success. This is so much fun.

300
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: I love this and there's confidence. I tweeted because I

301
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 2: was rewatching the game on Saturday morning. Before Baty got

302
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: that double, he was like grinning, like he was smiling

303
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: in the matters, like he was exciting he got a

304
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: second base, He's like sticking his tongue ats like ah,

305
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: Like people are freaking out. The ladies are loving Brett

306
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: Bay on Twitter too, like everybody of course easy, he's

307
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: the new young Met's heart throb. Like everybody is in

308
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: on bred Bathy and there's literally no reason not to

309
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 2: be hit. This game was like three RBIs three more hits,

310
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: Like it's just it's NonStop, And there were even some

311
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: plays on Saturday. I guess this game is basically over now,

312
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: just transition the next day where yeah, that's when, Yeah,

313
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: that's when, that's when another game is series and we're

314
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: so back on this cadence of wind lose, win, win,

315
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: lose it. I'm in it feels so natural to it

316
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: feels amazing, but it feels like it's supposed to be

317
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: when life was good and fun before how awful last

318
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: year was. But just Baty's like reaching out for like

319
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: line drives at their base, like not making snow cone catches,

320
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 2: and Brady's like hitting hard ground balls are not going

321
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: through the hole. I'm like, that's not that's weird, Like

322
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: those are supposed to be called those are supposed to

323
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: be hits. Like now it feels weird to see him

324
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: not come through, and he keeps moving up the batting order.

325
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: He came into pinch Hill on Sunday and he got

326
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: standing ovation from the city feel crack, which is we're

327
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: just got a hit, yes, and you got well and

328
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: again like a total bullshit blooper and just drops in

329
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: the game also changed when he came in because he

330
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: got that blue Hit Mets challenge. Then he got the

331
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 2: walk that wound up being a big part of the

332
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: total walk rally that wound up winning them. The game

333
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: on my New York accident just came out so hard

334
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: that the walk round big time crap the walk rally, geez.

335
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: But now you can just feel it, and it's like

336
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: as Francisco Alvarez is kind of moved into a cold

337
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: stretch here and it seems like he's just getting the

338
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: shit be that from behind the play. Carls Medoz has

339
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: even mentioned a few times now the big story of

340
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: Game two I think we're going to talk about is

341
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: kind of weirdly Omar Devas this weird defensive thing happening

342
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 2: with him. But Baty is almost just like the sea

343
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: saw the sea has saw it, and now Baty is

344
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: the coffin guy. Baty's one smacking the ball over the park,

345
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: and Alfarez to one who's been kind of slumping down

346
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: for two weeks. But again, this is this is baseball.

347
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: These are young players. We've said this to you guys

348
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: as we go through, like we love like hyping Francisco Alvarez,

349
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: and we're gonna do it on social media until we're

350
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: blue in the face because he's fun and he's the king,

351
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: and he's list on a gay you got my desert brain.

352
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: But he's just like him just being like a little

353
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: bit better than league average, and baby, being league average

354
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: is massive wins this season, and the way we're playing

355
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: right now is like we are moving towards that at

356
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: a nice pace, and that is where I want to be.

357
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, So talking about the elefant in the room with

358
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: Narvaias now on Saturday, there is a narrative happening in

359
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: Mets world that maybe our Narvaias is a bit of

360
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: a detriment to this team on the pitching side, because

361
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: if you look at the Mets pitchers e ras with

362
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: Narva's behind the plane, and I think it even dates

363
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: back to last year and then this season Alvarez, I

364
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: think they're like a two to two or two four

365
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: e RA with him behind the plate. With Narvaia's it's

366
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: a four to four, two full runs higher.

367
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: And Nevaaz this year is five point one seven and

368
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,359
Speaker 2: Alvarez so it's about about two point two after Sunday.

369
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's higher then. So the baseball brain in

370
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: me the just like not thinking about it smart person wise,

371
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: I think that there's a huge difference, like just knowing

372
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: that pictures are more comfortable thrown to certain catchers. Francisco

373
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: Alvarez is better defensively. We know how hard he works

374
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: back there, We know how much he was working with

375
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: all these pictures individually. This is not a shot at

376
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: on more on Nervas by any means. It's more of

377
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: a positive for Francisco Alvarez. But the baseball guy brain

378
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: tells me, yes, there is something here. The analytical stat

379
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: not trying to think too much into it, brain goes,

380
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: this is just kind of a small sample, unlucky type

381
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: thing where how much of a difference does it really make?

382
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: But baseball guy brain can't help but think that there

383
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: is there is something there to it. Like again, sure's

384
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: of Verlander. All those guys had glowing reviews on Alvarez. Again,

385
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: not a shot at Narva's, but I think that's really

386
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: important when you're pitching, to feel comfortable with the guy

387
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: that you have behind the plate. It seems like pictures

388
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: are super comfortable with Francisco.

389
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: Another part of it, just to throw a little like

390
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: stat nerd wrinkle into it, is that Narvaias has been

391
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: exclusively catching Adrian Howserd this year, or How's has been

392
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: exclusively throwing cavias and as the team is stated right now,

393
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: I would probably say comfortably he's the worst pitcher in

394
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: the rotation. So I think that will inflate the numbers,

395
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: especially the game where he got his titslate by the Braves.

396
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: So I think that is that's going to be part

397
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: of it. Like that's going to be in a small

398
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: sample like you said we have here, like that's going

399
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: to inflate and the ra where like it looks over five,

400
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: oh my god, so ugly. But when that one really

401
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: bad star happens that, I think you take that start out.

402
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: The IRA is probably in the low force or maybe

403
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: even the high end.

404
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: Also even yesterday too with Manaia, let's talk about his

405
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: start because he didn't pitch well, but I don't think

406
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: he pitched as bad as his line showed you. Because

407
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: Marte dropped that one fly ball, which you can't do that.

408
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: You have to make that play. There is no excuse

409
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: for that type of error. Then you had Brandon Nemo

410
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: who went to go rob the ball on center field,

411
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: like you said earlier, clinked off his glove, went over

412
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: the wall. There was two outs in that inning that

413
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: could have been made, should have been made that ended

414
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: up extending the inning even more. And you don't even

415
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't even think you get the chance for that

416
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: brand Nemo play to happen if Storling Marte actually catches

417
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: that fly ball. So he got a little bit of

418
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: bad luck. And it's even to Narviia's fault, like that's

419
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna in what's going on there, But at the same time,

420
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't know it was. It was a weird start.

421
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: You could tell Manaia didn't have it. He definitely didn't

422
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: pitch well, didn't look as sharp as he had in

423
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: the first few starts, but he got unlucky as well.

424
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: It's also frustrating with the Marte play because like, Martella

425
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: has the attitude in the field, and it's kind of

426
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: way he's always played, and he's gotten to the highest

427
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: level of baseball and had a very good career, so

428
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: it's hard to chastise a guy at this point. But

429
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: it's just he doesn't get fully under the ball. He

430
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: doesn't catch with two hands, and it's just like and

431
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 2: he looks like it's not that he looks mad when

432
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: doesn't make the play, it just looks like, ah shucks,

433
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: but it's like, yeah, the ball just clanks off the

434
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: edge of your glove, like you couldn't catch a fly ball,

435
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: and it kind of open the floodgates on this rally

436
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: in the game where you took an early lead, and

437
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: he was a part of that too. He was hitting

438
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: the ball very hard, he was on base, he scored

439
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: the run, and the Mets were moving. It kind of

440
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: felt like after the Friday Night vibes that with Manya,

441
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: who had to this point been the best pitcher of

442
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: the season, and taking an early lead, you're like, Okay,

443
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: let's let's win another game, like let's let's let's have

444
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: a shot for a sweep here. But I I want

445
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: to talk about Manai a little bit because we're very

446
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: high a mania at the last couple starts. We were

447
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: kind of were very even healed about him through the

448
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: off season. But I think that this game was kind

449
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: of a good lesson for Mets fans. This was another

450
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: desert brain take. I caught this one and Shau and

451
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: I is kind of like a straw house when he pitches,

452
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: and I kind of want to take it's like a

453
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: big bag bag, big bad wolf analogies, because when you

454
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: look at pictures, you kind of wanted we always talk

455
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: about this that like we just talked about Severino, like

456
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 2: I don't. You don't have your best stuff and you

457
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: still gridge your teeth. Him got through a really good

458
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: game and you have different ways to get guys out

459
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 2: like Severena was again he didn't use any right right

460
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: handed flashballs. He was using them all lefties steph against righty's.

461
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 2: He was dropping colors and sweepers, and he used lefties

462
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: to the change up, and he had the slider against

463
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: both sides. It was a really good start, a lot

464
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: of different weapons. He was able to mix and match

465
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: and get through what he had to get through, whereas

466
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: Manaia kind of has one rhythm, one method he uses

467
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: to get through guys. It's that fastball that runs in

468
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 2: on guys, the sweep of the bound that comes off

469
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: in the change up, that he can mix it against

470
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: the righties and if in the night, like similar to Friday,

471
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 2: where it's very windy, it's cold and you can't really

472
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: grip the ball as much. Severino, just like Manaia, just

473
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: Severena on Friday, all his movement down every single pitch,

474
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 2: he was getting less horizontal break and his whole game

475
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: is horizontal break, so when he's getting less horizontal break,

476
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 2: he had to make an adjustment in this game where

477
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 2: he was no longer pitching inside to the rioties. Now

478
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: he was just trying to pick off the low and

479
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: outside corner. When you're trying to pick off that low

480
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: and outside corner, that kind of makes that sweeper a

481
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: little bit less competitive because now instead of like dropping

482
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: back foot on these guys and really scaring the right

483
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: handed hitters, you're just kind of aiming for that same

484
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: low in that side spot and you're trying to get

485
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: them just over it exactly, which was happening a lot

486
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: in this game. So it's Manaya, if it's on, it's on,

487
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: if atmosphere conditions are good, I'm confident in him. But

488
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: it's just he's one of these guys where it's just

489
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: like there's he kind of just has one way to

490
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: do it. And that's why to this point Sean and

491
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: I's career, his ceiling has always been a little bit

492
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: capped because if he can't do the things that he's

493
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: really good and comfortable doing, there's not really a plan B,

494
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: C or D for Sean ma and I to get

495
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: through like six quality innings, whereas again got like seve

496
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: Reno or Sunday guy like Budo or some other pitchers

497
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: in the league. There's gonna be a ways to do that.

498
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: So it's just sometimes if it's not working, you can

499
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: blow that whole house down and that's wh start going wrong.

500
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: The pitchures weren't moving. That's what the Royals did to

501
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: Sean and I.

502
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, it was just frustrating too because this game

503
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: was in the grasp and it's a few few plays

504
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: here and there. It's a little bit of sloppy baseball

505
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: kind of costs us in this one. But at the

506
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: end of the final score was big. Mets did have

507
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: opportunities so late. Again, if we're going to talk about

508
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: like the scope of the Mets, what we're looking for

509
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: for the season, the team did fight. The team did

510
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: fight back. They attempted their best to try comeback. John Schreiber, Schreiber,

511
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: how he browns it?

512
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: Schreiber.

513
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he came in, got a couple of big outs.

514
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: He's pretty disgusting for the Royals. I can't believe they

515
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: got him for like free from the Red Sox.

516
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: I wasn't free, No, No, they trained a single Ay picture,

517
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: who's a lot of potentially got There was an one

518
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour. I think it was David and

519
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: Nick Sandler. I think it was the Oklahoma guy Juco guy.

520
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: It was a weird trade because Schreiber just has a

521
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: ton of team controlled He's just like a fine reliever,

522
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 2: which was like a weird trade at the time, but

523
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: now it looks okay because now they were I was like,

524
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: we have a real set up man and we're trying

525
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 2: to make the play. But the other time was like,

526
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: why are you guys training like like a top hundred

527
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: pitching prospect together to get like a pretty okay reliever.

528
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: But weird now in context, but he's good, and again

529
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: we'd trade. But Oiels, I mean not Royals are a

530
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: weird team. Strange teams, strange build Give credit to the

531
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: pee Alonzo two home runs on on Saturday after hitting

532
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: one on Friday. He's now two away from two hundred

533
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: in his career. Will be the quickest met by far

534
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 2: to do that. I can't even I mean, I guess

535
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm assuming David right down Strawberry next closest. I'm sure

536
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: they're not even close to the amount of games plans

537
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: has done, and then he keeps doing those like maybe

538
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: Lucas do it. There's probably fourth that list sneaky and

539
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: Ed cranepool will coming up the rear, but not a

540
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: two hundred run. I had definitely, definitely two hundred home

541
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: runs in his career. Ed Cranepool his career, he played

542
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: thirty years. I think Ed Cranepoole has like fourteen home

543
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: runs in his career. That can't be true.

544
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: Shut up, all right, it is one hundred and eighteen.

545
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: He didn't hit two hundred.

546
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: Okay, holy shit, even gets one fit in between.

547
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: In between you take fourteen and two hundred, it's probably

548
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: one eighteen is the middle.

549
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: It's a one oh seven. But yeah, almost there. But

550
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: we're gonta Ed cranepool references every weekend the show. Gotta

551
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: keep those going. But I don't even know where it was.

552
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: Grate pol Pete's going well, I guess it was nice

553
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: line drive home runs again. I get out of that

554
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: feel quickly, and you could feel him off the bat bang,

555
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: move on to the next one. And now, like suddenly,

556
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: after a slow start, plans ops up to like nine

557
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: to sixty on the season, and he I think it

558
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: led the league at home runs after play on Saturday,

559
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 2: so exactly where we expected Pete to be, exactly where

560
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: we know he was going to be because he's going

561
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: to want to get the biggest contract that anyone's ever

562
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: gotten in this offseason, and we know he's ready to

563
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: try and break our hearts and do that. But it

564
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: was just a game that the messinet win. And I

565
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: had a thought in this game and then reinforced by

566
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: listening to the show. Buddy Jack talked to him to

567
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 2: the stadium a few times. Another pitching nerd just like me,

568
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: and he was like, man, if that was Christian Scott

569
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: instead of Cole Saltzler coming into this game, yeah, the

570
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 2: Mets might have won this game. And I was like, yo, damn,

571
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: I really wish you didn't say that, because you're right,

572
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: and just that is the role that we've seen David

573
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: Sterns Brewers teams bring on big starting pitching prospects in it.

574
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: Whether it's Woodruff or Freddie Peralta during playoff runs with

575
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 2: the Brewers in eighteen nineteen or Corps and Burns a

576
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 2: few years after that. All those guys came up in

577
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 2: this long relief role where they were pitching three the

578
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: six innings a week, depending on what happened, staying warm

579
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: with the major league club with major league pitchers with

580
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: the major league pitching coaches, and then getting warm that

581
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: way then coming into the rotation. And it did take

582
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: these guys a little longer to find their stride, but

583
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: then eventually, like right now, we're seeing Fred praulta blossom.

584
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: It's one of the best pitchers in the league. We've

585
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: seen Brandon Woodruff contend for silun seen Corborn Burns wins

586
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: side younks, and I christious guy I think has stuff

587
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: that can arrival some of those guys eventually growing into that,

588
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 2: growing into that. They didn't into the league like that,

589
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: but they became that. And the Mets every single night,

590
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: it seems like, not every single night, but Jose bo

591
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 2: on Sunday was only it was only a third time

592
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: this season that Mets completed six innings and Jose Bullo

593
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: has done that twice and there's only two starts twice.

594
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 2: We're getting to Boodo very soon. I'm already getting excited.

595
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: About Jose podcast.

596
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 2: The Jose Blueo Podcast always has been, always will be.

597
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: But as the Mets continue to need this mop up

598
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: to Doty. And as you know that a lot of

599
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: starters in the staff aren't exactly six seven inning guys.

600
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: This is when it does make sense probably to have

601
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: one of these, even a guy like Dom hammil was

602
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: more experienced than Christian Scott Maye. You're not as worried

603
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: about the last start too, the amazing last I think

604
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: he struck out ten guys for a triple A. Mets

605
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: pitching every single day is doing something amazing in the

606
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: minor League's just it makes a lot of sense for

607
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 2: the way this roster is built to have like a sponge,

608
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: a sponge on this staff.

609
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: And now, to be fair, I think those guys will

610
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: come up quicker than we expected. But it's that option

611
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: rule where it was like, they can't bring those guys

612
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: back up unless there's an injury. So I think that

613
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: might be Friday.

614
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: Friday was the day, and also this Thursday or Wednesday

615
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: was the day to get an extra year of service time,

616
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: which was coincidentally the day that Jackson Holiday makes his

617
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: major league debut. So weird, crazy, it's so weird how

618
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: that works. We talked about that what he got called

619
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: amazing coincidences that all these major leagu front offices are doing.

620
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: It's so funny too that, like I'm sure like there's

621
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: like every like the Jackson Holliday thing is funny just

622
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: talk about for a second, because now you get the

623
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 2: extra the guys get the service time benefit if they

624
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: come up and get top three rookie of the Year,

625
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: and the team also gets the bonus pick. So oil's like,

626
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: oh nice, we can midel this and project this exactly

627
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: so we can keep in the minor leagues the exact

628
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: day that we can get the extra year service time,

629
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: and then we know he still gonna be good enough

630
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 2: to get close rough rookie the year to get that

631
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: service time back, and we get to pick the show

632
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: for it, so everybody wins. Just it's crazy how like

633
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: tight these teams work. It's like, so it's so precise

634
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: how they play. But Saturday was disappointing. It felt like

635
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: the Mets probably had more chances than they should have

636
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: when they had given up niner and runs in the

637
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: first five innings of the game. But it's just it's

638
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: probably just still some April stuff going on. I think

639
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: it's not it's not the kind of loss they get.

640
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 2: I think that sky's falling like it was a few

641
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: weeks ago.

642
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: No, definitely not, definitely not and especially when you see

643
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: them then come out on Game three on Sunday, and

644
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: granted the offense was not great, they got a bunch

645
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: of hits, a lot of singles and stuff. But schol

646
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: Reagan's ace ace, I think we're gonna call him an

647
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: ace now he's officially an ace, but he was going

648
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: up against another race by the name of Jose Buddo.

649
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: And you know what, it couldn't have been more fitting

650
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: on the day that the Mets retired Doc Goodin's number sixteen,

651
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: a couple aces on the mound, Jose Budo young ace

652
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: for the Mets. We've seen that happen before, We'll see

653
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: it happen again. And Cole Reagan's another young ace Like

654
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: this was if there was ever some way to pay

655
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: true manage to Doc good and besides retiring his number,

656
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: have an a soft right here.

657
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: It was a true ASoft, the truest of the world.

658
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: I knew that there were some vibes for Jose Buola

659
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: before this game because I tweeted in the morning, like

660
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: true ASoft for Doc Good and like as a joke

661
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: and just did a screenshot of the game day feed

662
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 2: and mb app he got like three hundred likes. I

663
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: was like, oh, Mets fans are actually really excited about

664
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: Jose Bula today, Like I'm not alone here, but talk

665
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: about the Doc stuff first, because it was just beautiful

666
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: to have a real picture's tool on Doc Goodin's day,

667
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: and it was just I was so excited for him.

668
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: He was so happy and this is so well deserved.

669
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 2: Best production staff is incredible. They are so really are

670
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 2: so good. And like that montage they put on the

671
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: scoreboard that they played also they tweeted on Twitter if

672
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: anybody wants to see it narrated by Chuck d which

673
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: was baller as hell, just like eighties New York shit.

674
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: It was like, fuck, this is really cool. But he

675
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: was so happy, like he was like there were moments

676
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: like he almost cried, Like they they went and honored

677
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 2: like a bunch of players in the eighty sixteen that

678
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: Doc played with. They were like getting bombed and the roster

679
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: Barry Lyons was out there getting on or like the

680
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: team back for the Docs day and then just like

681
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: it was like a funny, like it was a funny

682
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: moment that they were like going through his kids and

683
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: that was like his another one and another one. I

684
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I like to have a

685
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: good He had a good time.

686
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: Man, he was having a good time.

687
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: He made some money because he could keep the kids.

688
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: Kies say if it was twice junior and went all

689
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: the way down the list. But then the one thing,

690
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: and we talked about this in the last episode. Why

691
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: did the Mets do this in April? It's so annoying

692
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: they did this in April. Like Keith got his day

693
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: in summer. I regard the wall, Fonzo got the Metal

694
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: Hall of Famous summer. Kusman got his in the summer.

695
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 2: Like why am I forgetting anybody? Since in the Cohen

696
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 2: era that a piazza piazza I'm talking about Cohen Air,

697
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 2: Cohen Air retirees. Strawberry is gonna get his. Yeah, well, maze,

698
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: but Strawberry is getting his this summer. Why in the

699
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: world did they do this in April?

700
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: And I can tell you why.

701
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: Well, I mean we all know why. I was trying

702
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 2: to get people in that stadium, but it still didn't work.

703
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: That's the problem. Because it was still forecast for rain.

704
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: It wasn't a warm day. I mean it got ends

705
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: up getting nice by the end of the game. But

706
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: it's just like, just like nine thousand people there watched out,

707
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: couldn't number get retired? Where Keith Hernandez like even Jerry

708
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: Kuzman that the place is packed. I thought that was

709
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: not that fair. He even like he made a comment

710
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: about it. Harbie Rose made a comment about it. It's just

711
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: it definitely made me a little bit annoyed, but definitely

712
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 2: didn't stop how happy I was for Doc.

713
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: Yes, happy for Doc. If I could have done it myself,

714
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: we would not have picked April for Doc good and

715
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: to forget retired.

716
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: No, I mean they're under umbrellas, like talking about this,

717
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: like people wearing suits and they're getting rained on, like

718
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: Steven Olex going under like under umbrellas, Like why why

719
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: did we do this in April New York and April

720
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: it rains, Like that's when April showers may flowers? Have

721
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 2: you guys heard the saying before? Again, we don't know

722
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: if there was extenuating circumstances with somebody who it had

723
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: to be in April, like someone who wants to be there,

724
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: maybe a family member of somebody I don't know some

725
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: of the important just maybe it had to be this

726
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: day so.

727
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: Doc's busy in August, you know, I don't know yet.

728
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: July ja last a tough month for the doctor. But

729
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: it's just that pissed me off a little bit, just

730
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: a little more to should And also his speech was interesting.

731
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: Do you listen to it?

732
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: I heard bits and pieces, and I heard when he

733
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: mentioned that he was lucky to play for the Yankees

734
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: for two years that it was sort of I'm always

735
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: a met met. I was like, Docy, you gotta know

736
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: if you're bringing up the Yankees, that was gonna happen.

737
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: Like I saw some people were like, I can't believe

738
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: they booed. I'm like, they're not booing him, they're booing

739
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: the Yankees. But also Doc should have know that's also

740
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: a reflex for a Mets fans. Yankees boo, Yankees, boo,

741
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: Yankees boo. You hear Yankees, you boo in the ballpark.

742
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: That's how it goes. Also, he just spent like the

743
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: last two minutes of the speech being like, I want

744
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: to come back. In ninety nine they said no, I

745
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: want to come back. Two thousand they said now and

746
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: one they said no, it's like I would play in

747
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: the minor leagues, like I don't really care. I really

748
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 2: just want to end my career as a met And

749
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: they kept said the Wilpunts kept saying no to him,

750
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: which it sucks because Doc again, Doc is a legend.

751
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: Put out a huge tweet on him Sunday morning, just

752
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: about like how his nineteen eighty five is, like all

753
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: things considered con sexually, probably the best pitching season of

754
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: all time. Like this the second and last Triple Crown

755
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: besides Johann Full League Triple Crown, no bullshit, half league

756
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: Triple Crown. To two hundred and seventy strikeouts, twenty four wins,

757
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: twelve war thirty one second scross innings in September. You

758
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: think of about run the whole month of September. It's

759
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: just it's credit. I think he has something like eight

760
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: shutouts or eight eight complete games before shutouts, thirty three

761
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 2: at thirty five starts that you were quality starts, the

762
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: highest percentage for a single season ever. And one of

763
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: the games he didn't go six innings was because there

764
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: was a rain delay and he had to come out

765
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: of the game. He didn't give up within three hund

766
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: runs and started after April like the guy it was.

767
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: It was, and he was twenty years old, youngest syang

768
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: ever that will on this mess up podcast, saying now

769
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: that will never be broken. There will never be another

770
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: twenty year old, say young man ever again history in

771
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: ly yeah, batmanch Lupa. I was saying something else before,

772
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 2: I'll do Hunger Strike, Hunger Strike, I'll go, I'll go,

773
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: I'll go the whole offseason. I won't eat if there's

774
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: another twenty year old, say young I thought that was

775
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: gonna be for Jose Buddo. Now this I'm just dropping

776
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: only a couple of hunger Strike. So I spent the

777
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: whole weekend of the desert. I was walking around just

778
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: barefoot in the sand. The vibe was hitting me. But

779
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: it's just a cool, cool moment for Doc and just

780
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: happy how happy he was.

781
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: Yes, No, it was really cool. So now let's talk

782
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: about what's going on in the field, because we've heard

783
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: us talk about Jose Buddo, but we actually haven't talked

784
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: about Jose Buddo. We've just been saying Jose Buddo podcast.

785
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: We've been telling you from the start, and to be fair,

786
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: check the tapes. Check the tapes. Run away twenty running back,

787
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: go back to twenty twenty one. We were all over

788
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: Jose Buddo as soon as you could be all over

789
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: Jose Budo. I have some autographed cards of his that

790
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be looking to move. If anybody wants to

791
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: buy Jose Budo cards tomorrow, probably gonna be the highest

792
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: value ever. Gonna throw those up on eBay. Great little

793
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: flips by me, but no, seriously, Jose Buddha looks really good.

794
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: He looks finn fantastic. The fastball sitting what like ninety four,

795
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: the slider's looking great. Everything is just love it from

796
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: Jose Buddha.

797
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: Love it got the going up to ninety five too,

798
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: and he was putting in his zone. The rolls weren't

799
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: catching up to it. And this is this is a

800
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: big reason why we tell you guys that spring training

801
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: can be important. I'll never say spring training is important,

802
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: but spring training can be important because you see a

803
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: guy like Buddo, who is showing a new sweeper, who's

804
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: like he's like he's mixing, he's mixing with his colored

805
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: slyer gyro pitch, the fastball's coming out more velocity, and

806
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: you could just see all these incremental improvements happening year

807
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: every year. Jeremy Hafner has talked so much about how

808
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: much he's worked and how much he wants this, and

809
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: you can see his emotion on the mount, like every

810
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: time he gets to have an inning, every strike, guy

811
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: he's pumping his fist. He's screaming, like this guy wants

812
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: it so bad. He was always un heralded, he was

813
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: always underrated. The things he's done the last few years

814
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: to put himself in position to do this and now

815
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: to have this opportunity and to this point on April

816
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: fourteenth to the season, to have been the best Mets

817
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: starting pitcher through a few weeks of a major league season, Like,

818
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: it's I'm so happy for him. I'm just so happy

819
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: he's helping this team right now. And it's just he

820
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: was so good in this game. He's five strikeouts first

821
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: two winnings. He had the changeup, had the Royals hit

822
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 2: the spinning. His slider looks awesome. He's mixing sweepers when

823
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: he could. He got a sinker going later in the game.

824
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: He kind of transitioned fastball to sinker late as they

825
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 2: were starting to get on his fastball third time through

826
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: the order, which I'm like, that is a wrinkle. That's

827
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: a young picture. He's pitching like a veteran right there.

828
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: And when you're a guy like Jose Budo and you're

829
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: not the most gifted and you don't have the craziest

830
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: pitches in the world, and you're going up against literally

831
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: one of the best left handed pitchers the league, in

832
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: Cole Reagan's Mets fans, you guys saw that first hand

833
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: on Sunday. You gotta do things, and he did so

834
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: many things to keep a Royals limp that's been smoking

835
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: hot totally off balanced the entire night.

836
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, you know it's good when James

837
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 1: is texting me from Morocco going Budo, Dude, Jose fucking Budo.

838
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: He looked fucking unreal, dude, fully erect. That was the

839
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: messages in a row from James about Jose Budo, And

840
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's good. He's a good picture, thankfully, Thankfully,

841
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: Carlos Mendoza said after the game, He's not going anywhere.

842
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: He's here.

843
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: Jose Budo is gonna be a part of this rotation,

844
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: but a part of this team in some aspect. If

845
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: he's not, we've decided we're gonna well you, you're gonna

846
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: go on a hunger strike, you said, right, Yeah.

847
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 2: If jose Bud does not make this next turn through

848
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: with the rotation, through the rotation with the Mets, I'm

849
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: fully going on a hunger strike. I will not eat

850
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: again into jose Budo if he gets skipped next time,

851
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: nodding again until he gets back in the rotation.

852
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: So, Carlos Mendoza and David Stearns, guys making decisions. If

853
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 1: you want James Chiano to be healthy, blood is on

854
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: your hands. If you want James to starve, blood's on

855
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: your hands. He's going hunger strike.

856
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be in the Spain next week. I really

857
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: want to eat the food. I love, Paie. It's like

858
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: one of my favorite things in the world. Dam yeah, oh,

859
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean so much is so much meat

860
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: in this trip. I have so much beef, had some

861
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 2: We had been to a buffet today and the long

862
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: bus ride back from the Sahara I went ape ape

863
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: in this random buffet in the middle of Morocco.

864
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: I thought buffets were only an American thing. Is that crazy?

865
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 2: It was like part of the tour group thing, and

866
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: I think they were just like they were like, oh,

867
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: these a it's like today was like the full like

868
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: eight hour drive back, like from the desert, all the way,

869
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 2: like we were all the way like on the border

870
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: of Algeria. We were out there. I was so out

871
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: there it was insane, like for the foot high sand dunes,

872
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: like we had to ride a camel an hour to

873
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: get to where we were camping.

874
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: Like I was.

875
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: Legitimately in the middle of nowhere, like so in the

876
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: middle of nowhere. It was insane, and they were like, oh,

877
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 2: let's just get these Americans buffet. We Also, I was

878
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: a consorting shoutout you and shadow Boy Clay wild Batch

882
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: because those were also South Carolina frapro.

883
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 2: You guys really have a reputation. These guys almost were

884
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: similar because they were just like, oh so bro dude,

885
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,680

888
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: been one. I'm not sure. It feels like it could

889
00:34:59,680 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 1: have been.

890
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 2: If it's I say, sixty four the unclay.

891
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: On that one adjacent.

892
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: At least these guys were like bragging about like puking

893
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: in the hotels like we had. Like they were like

894
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 2: they were screaming chuck chuck chuck for botles and wine.

895
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 2: We were having a group dinner. We were like, what

896
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: the hell's going on? It was like there was like

897
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: families there and then there was no alcohol there. The

898
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: hotels will have it because the Americans stay there, gotcha.

899
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: And then they went out for the rest stop and

900
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: they all got turbed and start wearing them. I was like,

901
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: this is insane. And then we stopped at another spot

902
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: to bring alcohol to our campsite in the desert, and

903
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: the dudes start drinking on the bus and the same

904
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: group of dudes reacting on the bus. We're like, what's

905
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 2: different bus than may Thank God? Like what was literally

906
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: what is wrong with you guys? Like you guys are

907
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: legit infant humans right now? I can't I couldn't believe

908
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: I was watching, but that still cannot dull those boodo shine.

909
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: He was doing something in this game that you hate

910
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: that kind of want us to change your mind to

911
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 2: a little bit where he was throwing so many change

912
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: ups to the right handed hitters, and the pitch so

913
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: far this year for Budo has a fifty percent whiff rate,

914
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: and it's like stagnant, like pretty up this mostly he

915
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: gets right these and I think five to the nice

916
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 2: rak uts stay around the change up. And I was

917
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: looking at this because I was like, why is this

918
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 2: part of the game plan that he's doing so much

919
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: this for change ups? Because I'll trust Jeremy Hefner the

920
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: game planning wise, I think Mets pitching has been exceptional

921
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of guys in here with not

922
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff, and we still have one of

923
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: low cras and all Baseball as a team, So I'm like,

924
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: why is this happening? Jose Budo's change ups a major

925
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: outlier and the fact that it doesn't really move horizontally,

926
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't have that armside fade that most changes will have.

927
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: There's the fifth least armside movement for any change up

928
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: in the league, and the second least for any starting

929
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 2: pitcher in the league. So it's basically just a straight

930
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: up and down change up, and that makes it so

931
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: good against the righties. It's a real classic pull the

932
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: string change up. And I know that you probably want

933
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: your change up to move more rather than move less.

934
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: I think they'll make it better, especially when he doesn't

935
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: have the biggest gradient of speed between his fastball and

936
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: his change up. But it keeps so efficient against the righties,

937
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: and he gets used against the lefties as well. And

938
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: that's how he's able to really just dig into guys

939
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 2: both sides of play, because that change is could against

940
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: both sides. The gyro slides could against both sides, and

941
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: now the sweepers weapon against the right. Yes, so it's

942
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,479
Speaker 2: just like any if anyone's coming to the play Josey

943
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: Buio as a plan to attack them. And this was

944
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: just he was never in trouble. He was in complete control.

945
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: He was going zero for zero. Cole Reagan's, well, Reagan's

946
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: was in trouble on the other side. Po those six innings,

947
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: nine strikeouts, no runs, two hits, only three hard hit balls,

948
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 2: sixteen swings and misses. The nine strikeouts were the most

949
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: bio met this year. The sixteen swings and misses retired

950
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: for the most with bi MET this year, and he's

951
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: the first met with complete six innings twice. How the

952
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: fuck is ho Hibo the first metically six in things

953
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: twice on start two games. He has to stay in

954
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: the rotation. Cross is going to stay in the rotation.

955
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 2: He needs to stay in the rotation.

956
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was really impressed too that they left him

957
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: in and luckily uh or I should say they left

958
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: him in the face of any pass. Quentino in the

959
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: sixth after Bobby Wick got that double. That was something

960
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 1: to me that in my head, I go, probably probably

961
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: should be one of our left handed relievers, just like

962
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: conceptually speaking, in a tight game like that. But I

963
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: do love that they went with the crazy ballsy move

964
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: and it paid out paid off. Of course that was great.

965
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: But that's that's big for like the growth of a

966
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: pitcher too, for a guy like Jose Budo, getting that

967
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: stamp of confidence from his manager, from the pitching coach

968
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: being like, you need, you need to get out of

969
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: this right now. That's like a growing moment. That's how

970
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: you become a better picture, not just a guy who

971
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: goes five innings and hopefully give up a couple of runs.

972
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: That's how you become one of those guys who can

973
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: go out and win your team games is by getting

974
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: those big outs there. And you even saw the Royals

975
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: do it with Cole Reagan's There was a couple late

976
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: in the game before they went to the bullpen. They

977
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: left him in when he got himself into some trouble

978
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: and he got out of it. And that's stuff that

979
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: you kind of missing baseball nowadays because the numbers are

980
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: so like, just so involved in every decision being made.

981
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: And I kind of liked it a little bit. It

982
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: felt like a little bit of nineteen eighties not good

983
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: in baseball right there. Let the Aces win the games

984
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: for you.

985
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 2: I love it. Even Keith and Ron were talking about

986
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: because they were like, you don't see this in baseball anymore.

987
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: You let the pitcher work into and out of trouble

988
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: and see what he can do. And that's again, that's

989
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 2: how you learn a lot about these guys. Like you

990
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: can see Jose Budo against Annie Pascun die bat like

991
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: drop some sinkers low and outside. You see the new wrinkles.

992
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 2: You see how when his back's up against the wall,

993
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: Howie maneuvers. I think another big part of that was

994
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: just the fact that Salvador Perez got injured. I think

995
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: he hyper extended his knee a few innings before that,

996
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: So Freddy forming.

997
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: Was on dag Marte tag up.

998
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was also seeing that play because we

999
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: know the relationship between Perez and Francisco Alvarez. They're very

1000
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 2: good friend. Salvarez has trained with him a couple off

1001
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: seasons now, just both lights out Venezuela and catchers, and

1002
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: he was on deck. So when he went down, Alvarez

1003
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 2: came up, put his arm around him and was like

1004
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 2: helping him up, like, oh my god, are you okay?

1005
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 2: Which is it was a nice moment. Again. As much

1006
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: as I hate those old that royal scene that beat

1007
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: the Mets, and I will go to my grave saying

1008
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: just the worst things on earth about Eric Cosmer and evens,

1009
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: but I don't really have that much a will to

1010
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 2: Salvado Perez, who was the best player in that series.

1011
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: He's just too good a ball player. I have a secret.

1012
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: I love Salvador Perez. He's like one of my favorite

1013
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: players ever. He's gonna say that the players ever. He's

1014
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: so good. He's just as a as a catching guy.

1015
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: I just love that. He's just He's just a catch.

1016
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: He's like, every single day I'll go out there and

1017
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: catch I don't care.

1018
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 2: And and Kate Feldman, who we've had, you've had specifically

1019
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 2: some choice wars in this podcast about She had a

1020
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: great tweet Friday the night where she was like, how

1021
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: is Salvedorp Press thirty three years old? I've be watching

1022
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 2: him play my entire life and he's thirty three, might

1023
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: be thirty four. He's a child. He came up and

1024
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: he was a twenty one. It's a full time catcher.

1025
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: I thought it's like thirty seven, and everyone thought he

1026
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: was falling off after last year. No, no, no, not Press.

1027
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 2: He does not fall off. He crushes the series again.

1028
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 2: He's having a very good year and he will have

1029
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: a very good year and he's gonna take like three

1030
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 2: iterations of three generations of Royals, like basically to the playoffs,

1031
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: possibly if they pull this off this year. But great

1032
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: rally by the Mess to end this game. There were

1033
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 2: so many opportunities a big win for Lindor in the

1034
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: seventh where it's just like the big ovation. The pop

1035
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: off was so ready, everybody in there was so excited

1036
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: for a win and just as amazing as he looked.

1037
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: In all his that bats against Cold Reagans, I think

1038
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 2: he had two or three hard hit balls right handed

1039
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: three times again right handed. That's where you can see

1040
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 2: the difference here. Whereas there's concerned about the lefty swing.

1041
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: That's for real because Cole Reagan's is not being facetious

1042
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: multiple time saying in this episode he's one of the

1043
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 2: best left hands of pitchers in baseball. We got you

1044
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: guys got an up close looking than this game where

1045
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: he has the curve ball, the slide of the change up,

1046
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 2: the high fastball. He is a freak, a freak of nature.

1047
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: Shout out Traild Athletics for what they've done developing Cole

1048
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: Reagans because they do a great job and a drive

1049
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 2: blankets all the credit. But Tread is an amazing, amazing

1050
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 2: organization too. Francis Goldendor was handling him with ease. He

1051
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: was peppering the ball put wherever he wanted. And then

1052
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 2: he comes up against with the righty on the mountain

1053
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: hit lefty, he swings to the bad pitch. He pops

1054
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 2: up immediately. I'm just like, what or the dribbler, whatever

1055
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: it was, because it's one of those two options right

1056
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 2: now yeah, with on doors, so either a dribbler or

1057
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: it's pop up. And it's just I don't I don't

1058
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: think he's ever not gonna switch hit, and I also

1059
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: don't think he should one because he's just done in

1060
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: his whole life and he's built the beginning of a

1061
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame career doing it. And it's also just

1062
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: that would be as good of a player as he is,

1063
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 2: so ridiculously embarrassing. And also the third thing, he's he's

1064
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: never seen pitches move that way from that side of

1065
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 2: the plate, Like he's never been a righty who's face

1066
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: to righty, so like that he would almost have to

1067
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: completely relearn how the game play himself is right handed

1068
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: hither because he's never done that before. But it's just

1069
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 2: right now, it feels really bad, and I don't know

1070
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 2: when it's gonna get better because it hasn't yet. And

1071
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: he was pumped up when he got his like his

1072
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: single turn to Dublins and Rentrow and like the crowd

1073
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: was giving it back to him and he was giving

1074
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: it back and it was great. But it's just I

1075
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 2: don't know when's gonna happen.

1076
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, because we we've talked privately.

1077
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: I still don't think sly Marte should be hitting too,

1078
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 1: but he's getting hits, so that's kind of dead, kind

1079
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 1: of dead again. I still don't think it's the right decision.

1080
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be games that even happened earlier

1081
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: in this one where he came up with like, guys on,

1082
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I really wish we had one of

1083
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: our actual best hitters on this team up at this point.

1084
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: But is it worth moving Lindor down the order right now?

1085
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 2: With the way that he's swinging, I would be really

1086
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: comfortable of switching him and Pete.

1087
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so hitting him fourth, so you're like, not like

1088
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: not fifth, not six, nine were down there, but you

1089
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: would you would hit him as low as four right now. Yeah.

1090
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 2: Also because I think what we've talked about a lot

1091
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: about Pete Lonzo, like ensuring he doesn't lead off innings,

1092
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 2: because he was leaving off plenty of innings this series

1093
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: as he was hitting fourth, which is really pissing me off.

1094
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: But I just I and maybe because maybe this is

1095
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 2: all the thing with Pete. I looked up his career

1096
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 2: stats in this and it wasn't anything significant, but he

1097
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: is slightly better hitter four compared to three, but it's

1098
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 2: in many less at bats. He's by far the best

1099
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 2: hitter of any spot too. So I don't know, but

1100
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 2: maybe it's just a pete thing where he's like, I

1101
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: have been the power hit in my whole life. I

1102
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 2: have hit fourth my whole life, right, But if that's

1103
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 2: the thing, like, that's okay, Like if there's something a

1104
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: player saying that a player wants to do to me,

1105
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: that will supersede all numbers with line because at the

1106
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 2: end of the day, it's really one of the not

1107
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 2: one of the most important things happening. It's about player comfortability,

1108
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: guys getting in routines, and the one problem, I still

1109
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: have a windows as much as I think this team

1110
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 2: is riding for him and as good as he's been

1111
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: in his last few weeks, because just if the team wins,

1112
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: the manager's good, the team loses, the managers bad. That's

1113
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 2: the rule. Just the tiny little changes every single day

1114
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: are frushrating me a little bit. The fact that Nimo's

1115
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 2: not a centerfielder and now's playing center field on Saturday

1116
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 2: and he makes a flub, The fact that Marte is

1117
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 2: down the order, he's not really hitting great, and he

1118
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: moves up the order, and the fact that like I

1119
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 2: don't know, like the Bay, the Alvarez, Bay Alvarez, Bethy Alvarez.

1120
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: Like Eron Taylor hitting fifth today and then Alvarez was

1121
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: set sixth or seventh, and then Beaty sometimes hits fifth

1122
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: now and sometimes it's eighth. Like it's a little confusing.

1123
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 2: And that also annoyingly comes from the air in Boom

1124
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 2: in School of Bad Management, where we're changing the line

1125
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 2: up every single day, which is like, I hope that's

1126
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 2: not true, Like I would love to just be some consistency,

1127
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: especially with like the Boom. Yeah, just just keep just

1128
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: keep moving it. But again we have the rally late

1129
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 2: Harrison Baylor with the best dribbler I've ever seen, Brandon

1130
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: with a very clutch on dry in the book Why

1131
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: Driving the book, Brandon with a great basic load walk.

1132
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 2: That was very critical because Edmond Es hung a slide

1133
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 2: to Vinie pas Quantino in the Homecoming and made it

1134
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 2: to the one but great win. Amazing. When Bret Bady

1135
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: came in the game kind of changed everything gets huge

1136
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 2: standing ovations. Just Edmund Diaz's first home trumpet of the

1137
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 2: year with a save awesome day and really really happy him.

1138
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 2: As one other series, did.

1139
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: You catch what the Mets did this weekend? I don't

1140
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: know how in you are on the TikTok social media world,

1141
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: but are you aware of the legend that is sketch

1142
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: special plays, special team special players?

1143
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: Not even one bit.

1144
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,479
Speaker 1: So there's this guy named Sketch, a Madden streamer who's

1145
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: blowing up on TikTok Instagram, everything just going nuclear, and

1146
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: the Mets did a sketch cam now for people to

1147
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: copy what he does in the stadium. Someone put the

1148
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: mic down for a second and he's just like, what's up? Brother?

1149
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: Like that's kind of his whole thing is he just

1150
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: like is kind of a funny, goofy dude, genuinely good guy.

1151
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: And the Mets did a sketch cam in the stadium

1152
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: this weekend and they had plenty of people doing it.

1153
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: I thought that was really cool. You've seen Bryce Harper

1154
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: Baby or even a lot of the Cleveland Garden are

1155
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: doing it. When they hit home runs or get on base,

1156
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: they're doing sketch stuff. And this is just for this

1157
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: dude who is just like a Manus streamer. So cool

1158
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: on the Mets again, production side of things cool on

1159
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: the Mets to be up front moving forward. They did

1160
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: the what is it called the crooner?

1161
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 2: What is he called the driving crooner?

1162
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: Driving crooner. Yeah, they did the driving, they did the

1163
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: sketch cam. So I'm interested see what else they pull

1164
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 1: out throughout the year in terms of fan engagement there.

1165
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean every again, everything they do in the

1166
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: ballpark is great. Everything on that scoreboard basically is amazing,

1167
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: especially when they have the right team on the board.

1168
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: Everything's working right, it's all, it's all right perfectly. But

1169
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: the graphics look great this year. Graphics look so much

1170
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 2: bad this year. I thank god the graphics look good.

1171
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 2: I mean again, if you guys are gonna get rid

1172
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 2: of us, like at least like fix some of the things,

1173
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 2: and then most almost every single thing has been so

1174
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 2: I'm really happy about that. But great win. Mets are

1175
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: blazing hot. There's a three series in a row. Now,

1176
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: it's like nine to nine and three in their last twelve,

1177
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: I mean six and six and three in their last nine.

1178
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: Like this is seven things the last ten, playing go ball,

1179
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 2: playing gotball. Since I have left the country, so I

1180
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: kind of I'm have to make a decision about that soon.

1181
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, listen, there's there's some there's a couple

1182
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: of positives for you not being in America.

1183
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 2: But why not, maybe, says spending a little time out here.

1184
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: I got I could use it. Why not?

1185
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, I I do my friend back, though

1186
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: I need my friend back to come back out with

1187
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: me because no one's around her in the week. You're around.

1188
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: It's nice. I'm like, hey, you want to go get

1189
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: a beer and watch the Knicks. James is like, yes,

1190
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm in. Everybody else is like, oh, I have my girlfriend.

1191
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: Oh I have work tomorrow morning. Gross, real work, real

1192
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: life people. Stuff is bullshit.

1193
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 2: No, it's stuff. All really seems like it sucks. But

1194
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 2: also I wanted to be at the stadium this weekend.

1195
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: They look great on something I want. I really wanted

1196
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 2: to be there for that game. Place looked awesome, even

1197
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 2: though the fact there were like twelve people there dot

1198
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 2: Gun's retirement because it happened in April. But still look great.

1199
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 2: The vibes are amazing. Met's vibes are great right now

1200
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 2: and now I'm gonna move on now before we do

00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,640

1209
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: being too like a joke.

1210
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 2: It might be a few too many syllables for us there,

1211
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: But I'm open to anything here. If anyone else has

Speaker 2: baseball media. But we have a few this week, and

1222
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: some are gonna be metrolaated, some might not be metrolayed.

1223
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: We're definitely trying some new things on here. But the

1224
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: first one longtime friends of the Mets one mister circle glasses,

1225
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 2: Harry Potter, rat faced Buster Olney. He said in article

1226
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: this weekend ESPN, the Mets won't contend this year or

1227
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 2: anytime soon. What we're seeing earlier this year are red

1228
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: flags that despite carrying the highest payroll in baseball, the

1229
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: Mets and will not be compared to this year. But

1230
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 2: more importantly, they also will not be competitive for years

1231
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 2: to come. Their rotation is built on all old veterans

1232
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: side a short term deals. Yeah no ship buster one

1233
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 2: year deal, So it's really going to entering this team,

1234
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: and their farm system is largely void of high end

1235
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: pitching prospects. Buster Direct has never been dumb, bitch. He's

1236
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 2: never heard the jonta tongue. This fucking rat, never hear

1237
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 2: the joint of tongue. By the time the Mets can

1238
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 2: rebuild the organizational pitching, their core position player group could

1239
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: be on its collective downslope. They're off to a slow start,

1240
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 2: and what we see in the horizon looks bleak to

1241
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: Busterer only fuck you.

1242
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: You, Busteraldi. I gotta say shout out to uh a man.

1243
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: This is a hard Italian last name to say Garracciolo.

1244
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he posted like the Mets community thing on Twitter,

1245
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: and this is how I saw it was he'd posted

1246
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: and said the Mets fuck Busterol and his wife because

1247
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: he has such you know what as a hater, respect

1248
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: the amount of hate that he has, because he will

1249
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,479
Speaker 1: ride or die, say fuck the Mets. I hate this team.

1250
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: That inside George Springer, I bet the family farm. He

1251
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: is so spurned by whoever gave him that fake inside

1252
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: information that he just put his whole career on seem

1253
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: where he'said, I'd sell the family farm. The Mets are

1254
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: gonna sign George Springer. Boy was he wrong? And boy,

1255
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: thank god we didn't sign him, by the way, what

1256
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: a bullet we dodged there. But he Buster doesn't even

1257
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: know what he's talking about. That's the other thing here

1258
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: is you can hate the Mets and you can say

1259
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: like these takes like oh they have ship pitching and

1260
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: they they stink. They spend all this money and they

1261
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: can't win. But the pitching or the organizational depth is

1262
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: just simply wrong. The Mets have a top ten UH

1263
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: farm system in baseball in terms of pitching. Yeah, they

1264
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 1: don't have the names that you know, Buster Olney, weirdly,

1265
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: because you work in baseball and this is the only

1266
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: thing that you do all day long, so you think

1267
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: you would be a little bit more well versed in

1268
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: the depth of the pitching prospects of the Mets. But

1269
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: fucking Christian Scott Hello, Like he could be one of

1270
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: the best pitching prospects in baseball at the major league

1271
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: level this year. It's not like he's in a ball

1272
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: even like our boy Jonah Tongue. I don't know how

1273
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: he's so tone deaf and so distant from everything that

1274
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: is baseball.

1275
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 2: Because Buster onlys like an insider, he's an industry guy.

1276
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 2: And like what he's heard when these guys in the

1277
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 2: Mets got drafted is that he's a three, he's four,

1278
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: he's a five, which when all these mess pitchers got drafted,

1279
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 2: that's so totally completely true, and I will give him that.

1280
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: But the problem that Buster has here, and that's I

1281
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 2: think a lot of people in baseball not that have

1282
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 2: but just pitching development happens, it keeps happening. It never

1283
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: stops happening. The best thing about pitching is that, like

1284
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: the picture you are in your twenty five pitch, you

1285
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 2: are in, you're thirty thirty five forty for guys who

1286
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: are lucky like you're always gonna be a different picture.

1287
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: Look at the guy like Nack Wheeler wasn't gonna be

1288
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 1: worth twenty three million dollars when the Philly signed in

1289
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: a year and me and you both were like, you're idiots.

1290
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 2: How could you not think that he's worth like fifty

1291
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 2: million dollars a year. He's the last pitcher standing who

1292
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 2: throws ninety five miles an hour. But it's just like

1293
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 2: this always happens, like pitching development never stops a guy

1294
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: like Budo, the work he puts in. And you see

1295
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 2: these guys like Christian Scott, Mike Vassel, Dom Hamill, Jonah Toom,

1296
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 2: Calvin Siegler, Brandon Sproute. Why do the poll like how

1297
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 2: make Austin Schrozer? How many more do we need? Ol McLean,

1298
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: Noel McLean, Like it's just it's happening, and it's just

1299
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 2: again Busterli's like not gonna be like the Mets to

1300
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: have a pitching live. They're doing it because Buster Erroli

1301
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: has had this vendela for like our whole lives against

1302
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 2: the Mets, like he was talking shit when the Mets

1303
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: signed forran ciscolelandor he was talking shit when when the

1304
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: Mets would let go of Jared Porter and Zach Scott,

1305
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 2: saying was organizational failures and those guys were not fit

1306
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 2: to have the jobs they had, Like Buster only when

1307
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 2: again every chance everyone had to jump on the Mets

1308
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 2: with Mickey Calloway being a prether was, as a quote

1309
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 2: quote from Bricaroli and the Athletic Cardicle, the worst kept

1310
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 2: secret in sports, the worst Buster only on that one.

1311
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 2: He's very selective in taking shots at the Mets and

1312
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 2: these little stupid Friday news letters. Yeah right, Buster, We're

1313
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: coming back to this and you're the you're one of

1314
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: the medium marvels this week, next one, this one's insane.

1315
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to shout out this one. We missed it

1316
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 2: in the last episode, but badly Sports South, which is

1317
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 2: basically the Braves SNY but not really Braves S and

1318
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 2: Y because they're too poor to actually have their own network,

1319
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 2: so it's like it's the bally RSN that will broadcast.

1320
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: Sports not being able to have their own network is bizarre.

1321
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 2: One of these to them. They took a video from

1322
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 2: the Mets game last Thursday. Do you remember the score

1323
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 2: from the Mets game best braised game last Thursday?

1324
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: Mark, I mean that must have been the one run

1325
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: game where we came back late and mar Solo Zuna

1326
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: hit the home run. Oh wait no he didn't. Tyrone

1327
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:53,919
Speaker 1: Taylor caught it was? Was it that game?

1328
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was Yeah, it wasn't that game. It

1329
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 2: was actually the game sixteen to four, and they too

1330
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 2: forgot about that one. They took a screen grab from

1331
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 2: Ronald the Couen and Junior at bad full count runner

1332
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 2: and scoring position. Again, that's won this game by twelve runs.

1333
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: It was a full count. It was running and scoring

1334
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: position and a pitch hosen Katana Sinker missed the plate

1335
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 2: by I'm being generous here two inches here, three inches

1336
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 2: right there. It missed the play by one buster only.

1337
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: And then the team's network again like this is probably

1338
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 2: the social media person who did this. And it's not

1339
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 2: a bad idea for a tweet because like it's gonna

1340
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 2: get good engagement. It did get really good engagement, but.

1341
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: We're talking about it.

1342
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 2: You're talking about it worked, the fact that the game

1343
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 2: this team lost by twelve runs. And again the Braves

1344
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 2: said they don't care about losing the Mets because the

1345
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 2: Mets win the World Series in April every year and

1346
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 2: they beat the Braves two inches off the plate in

1347
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 2: a twelve run game, and they're bitching about it because

1348
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 2: their raigning MVP didn't get a call as the reigning

1349
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 2: MVP is Ops starts with a six, get over yourselves.

1350
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: Ballet Sports s n why they'll do the opposite. They'll

1351
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 2: talk about the mess. They'll they'll parade out bald Bald's

1352
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: face loser, and they'll tell you how that that's stock

1353
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: where bally sports is taking a pitch two inches off

1354
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: the plate and they're saying, wow, the Braves, this would

1355
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: have been twelve round picture so mad.

1356
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: Yeah No, that is a super super lame tweet by

1357
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: Balley Sports South. Then the final thing to talk about

1358
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: here in terms of the media marvels, and again this

1359
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: one's a little bit more close to home for you.

1360
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: I was I was more about the bust role only one,

1361
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: but you've got the Elie de la Cruz haters, and

1362
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: I know this doesn't have to do with the Mets,

1363
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: but sometimes we're just gonna talk a little baseball with you.

1364
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: We're fifty minutes into the podcast here Again, if you're

1365
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,240
Speaker 1: listening this long, you probably like us. We saw your comments,

Speaker 1: the positive feedback. But James go off on your Ellie

1368
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: de la Cruz haters.

1369
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 2: There were people this offseason hot Ela dela Cruz gonna

1370
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 2: get sent down to the minor leaks. There were people

1371
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 2: that watch Alley de la Cruz play baseball and they

1372
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 2: were like, we don't think this guy's good to a

1373
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 2: major league baseball player. Lazy Alight de la Cruz right

1374
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 2: now is on like a thirty five homer eighty steel pace.

1375
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 2: Ellie de la Cruz looks like one of the best

1376
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 2: players in baseball, and you guys saw him up close

1377
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 2: to personal last weekend. While he does a lot of

1378
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 2: things that are amazing, he definitely also does a lot

1379
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 2: of things that are bonehead. The guy's tent. He gets

1380
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 2: twenty two years old, he's six foot five and he

1381
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 2: runs faster than the wind. He hits balls four hundred

1382
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 2: and seventy feet. How he's closer to Fernando tatzis then

1383
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: being back in Triple A and a writer who I like,

1384
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 2: who I'm friendly with. I want to shout him out

1385
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 2: because he's like so into the stats and sometimes he

1386
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: blinds himself a little bit. I think he listened to

1387
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 2: the show, maybe not every episode, but he's referenced it

1388
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 2: to me before. Michael Sophino with the athletic that's my guy,

1389
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: Mike Man, you were fade Nellie de la Cruz all dressy, say,

1390
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 2: he's going down in my league. So the chase rate

1391
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:18,919
Speaker 2: was too high. Sad he couldn't survive in the league

1392
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 2: with thirty percent strikeout, right, he's gonna go thirty. He's

1393
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: on pace to go thirty eighty and he's not even

1394
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 2: close to a ceiling yet. That's not That's our last

1395
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,280
Speaker 2: medium marvel of the week. Shout out you, guys, Michael

1396
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 2: Selfino for not thinking Ellie de la Cruz is a

1397
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 2: major league baseball player, because the dude's fucking incredible.

1398
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:37,720
Speaker 1: So good. Also talking about being fast, Bobbywood Junior's so fast,

1399
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: so fast. He hit that triple on Saturday that just

1400
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: like went to left center field, hit off the wall.

1401
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: He hit the ball hard and it was a triple,

1402
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: Like with the ease, I was like, how did he

1403
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: get there? And then I think Sarah Lang sweet out.

1404
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: I think it took like eleven seconds for him to

1405
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: get to third base. That is so insanely I've been

1406
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: talking about him hitting that triple longer than it took

1407
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,479
Speaker 1: him to actually run from home to third.

1408
00:54:58,160 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 2: It looked like a play that, like for some guys,

1409
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 2: would be a SA and he got the third base

1410
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: it wasn't even a play there. He's he's one of

1411
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 2: the best players in baseball. He's he's so good that

1412
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: he's bringing that whole team up. Like we say, this

1413
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 2: Roles team has been good at hitting and like Soap

1414
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 2: Prez good, Jim Linda is pretty good. Basket Pa, Tino Hunter, Renfro.

1415
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 2: I guess none of those guys even hold a candle

1416
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: to what Bobby be win us. He's gonna win MVP

1417
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 2: in his career. He's worth every single penny. He's one

1418
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 2: of the best players in baseball. But you guys have

1419
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 2: heard those bitch imo for a little while. Now getting

1420
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: on to the last thing we're talking about. Here a

1421
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 2: preview of the Pittsburgh Pirates series, and there's another series

1422
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 2: of City field. I'm just absolutely begging for the team

1423
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 2: to have an off day, and they just won't give

1424
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 2: us one. The this is it is the end of

1425
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 2: what was scheduled as fifteen games in fourteen days. We

1426
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 2: got that rain now in Atlanta, so we did get

1427
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 2: a sneak a sneaky off day in there, but three

1428
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 2: games against the Pirates. Game one is going to be

1429
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 2: I'm trying to do math right now. Martine Perez, Yeah,

1430
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 2: seven ten, seven to ten one ten. Nice classic series

1431
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 2: for US. Adrian Howses versus Martin Perez. When Tuesday Jose

1432
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 2: Katana versus Jared Jones, Who I'm gonna talk about a lot?

1433
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 2: Oh wait, he's he's Tuesday now, Yeah, you gotta go.

1434
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: That's that throws off plans because I was talking to

1435
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: your friend Ross, who's coming into town because bednars. Yeah,

1436
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: and he was like, he's like, Wednesday could be Jared

1437
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: Jones day. You're trying to go, And I was like,

1438
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: I will see you there. Oh that's heartbreaking.

1439
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 2: Is that softball to softball Tuesday night?

1440
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: No, we were off again in softball. I can't even

1441
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: believe it. I mean, you're looking out he said, we

1442
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: have one game the following week and then another two

1443
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: weeks off. I don't know what the schedule is year two.

1444
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna play a game for a month and

1445
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 2: a half.

1446
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: See, yeah, it sucks so bad.

1447
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 2: But then Wednesday at one o'clock, Mattinee, this is the

1448
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 2: ace off. You're gonna see Luis Evren versus Bailey Falter.

1449
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 1: But little Bailey Falter action.

1450
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 2: This Pirates team, similar to the Royals team, is coming

1451
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 2: into City Field playing good baseball. The only thing really

1452
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 2: stopping is Pirates team right now. I hate to say

1453
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 2: it because he's my friend and he's one of my

1454
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 2: best friend's cousins. Dave bet they're not having a good

1455
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 2: run of it right now, and there's there's people in

1456
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh media calling for a domestic abuser and AsSalt

1457
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: artist to be the closer to this team again, which sucks.

1458
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 2: But He's like, they might they guess, they might be right,

1459
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 2: But Bennard just he hasn't He hasn't been spinning that

1460
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 2: curve ball the same way, and he les do the

1461
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 2: cool thing where the media was kind of grilling Bednar

1462
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 2: and Benna has been kind of a hero for that

1463
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 2: team the last few years. He's been one of the

1464
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 2: only things to cheer for. He has an electric entrance.

1465
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 2: He's been a leader. Even as a young guys from Pittsburgh.

1466
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 2: His face was on Icy Light hands. If any Pittsburgh

1467
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 2: folks who listen to this podcast, you guys know Icy Light,

1468
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 2: it's it's a it's a foul beer. But people in

1469
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh defend it like it's their son or their grandma

1470
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 2: or their brother. But he's just he's not having a

1471
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: good run for right now. But sometimes it gets magnified

1472
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 2: with closers. But I'm hope you're gonna see Ro's Pepy

1473
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 2: reached out to you because Ross is the man. David

1474
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 2: Bedner is also the man. If you get to say

1475
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 2: how to day, I tom, I said, what's up? Because

1476
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 2: he's dope. Also, mister Bednar is there. Mister Bednar's right,

1477
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 2: Mister Benar is so much fun to hang out with.

1478
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 2: Mister Bennar got Ross's wedding in September. But his Pirates

1479
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 2: team is fun and they're playing well. They're eleven and five,

1480
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 2: they're leading the NL Central. They just took a split

1481
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 2: to two out of four from the Phillies. They beat

1482
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler, on Sunday behind Jackson Winsky was heating up

1483
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 2: and they're the good team some of the worlds where

1484
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 2: I think they're fun, but I don't think they're good.

1485
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: I think they're worse than the Royals personally. Just looking

1486
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: at this lineup, I don't know if these guys are

1487
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: as sticky as some of the other guys on the Royals,

1488
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: But like Jared Jones, good pitcher, Brian Reynolds, Key, Brian Hayes,

1489
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: O'Neil Cruz all good players. I just Connor Joe does

1490
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: this every year where he has just an incredible or

1491
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: April I feel like, and everybody picks him up in

1492
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy and then it's May fifteenth and you're like, oh,

1493
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: Connor Joe is not a major League baseball player again.

1494
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: It's happened. He did it. He fooled us once again.

1495
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know, Like Henry Davis has

1496
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: been terrible. I don't think he's a bad player, but

1497
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: it seems like catching is baking his job a lot harder,

1498
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: especially at the plate. Maybe not the best idea there.

1499
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: They did get Joey Bart though, who's been swinging a

1500
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 1: hot bat. Former top prospect as well, this is a

1501
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: weird team. Keep an eye out for O'Neil Cruz. So

1502
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: we just talked about Ellie de la Cruz. He basically

1503
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: built the way for Ellie de la Cruz in a

1504
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: way of being an Inalien that plays shortstop. And they're

1505
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: different in that. I think Ellie de la Cruz is

1506
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: a better player and more dynamic athlete. Yeah, more dynamic.

1507
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: But O'Neil Cruz is also what six foot one hundred

1508
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: and throws one hundred and five and he will hit

1509
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: a home run this series that will make you drop

1510
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,919
Speaker 1: your your draw You're gonna drop your jaw.

1511
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 2: Yes, he o neeal Cruise. I remember the first time

1512
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 2: I saw him. I think it was like a weird

1513
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 2: Pirates backfield clip that made it to Twitter, and it

1514
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 2: was like just this this eighteen nineteen year old. It

1515
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 2: was six seven, two hundred pounds. I remember, like I

1516
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 2: had like Dodgers, Yeah, former Dodger prospect and uh wasn't

1517
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 2: brawled in. And something that happened to Makan Republic. You

1518
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 2: guys could look it up if you want to. I

1519
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 2: don't want to say anything that allegedly happened, but early

1520
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, right, before the pandemic really got swept under.

1521
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 2: The O'Neil Cruise might have done something not that cool,

1522
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 2: but I just saw this six seven dude with like

1523
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 2: dreadlocks coming out of his hairs, Like, who the hell

1524
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 2: is this? Hitting like one hundred and fifteen mile an

1525
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 2: hour tanks and batting practice, Like I need to know

1526
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: where about this guy? Picked him up in every single

1527
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 2: Dynasty league I had, and he's he's a marvel. He

1528
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 2: does this thing.

1529
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: Oh you know where you might have seen that where

1530
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: you might as seen from when I went to Pirates

1531
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: spring training that year because we were living together and

1532
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: I specifically was like, I want to watch O'Neil Cruz

1533
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: take batting practice, and I took videos, I think posted

1534
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,439
Speaker 1: to Twitter like this guy's crazy. This is so nuts

1535
00:59:58,480 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: watching this guy.

1536
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 2: It no almost knowing the baseball. Hits the ball harder

1537
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 2: than him, but he's a he'll expand the strikes on

1538
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 2: a lot, he won't really take as many walks. He's

1539
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: striking out thirty five percent of the time, walking five

1540
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 2: percent so far this year on base percentage too wavy,

1541
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 2: which is untenable. He's really fast because he's so huge,

1542
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 2: but he doesn't look that fast. Just why it's like

1543
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 2: takes three stride second base and his defense a little uneven,

1544
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 2: but he can on cork at like one hundred miles

1545
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 2: an hour from short stop. He's he's a true alien.

1546
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 2: And then also I got shot out Jared Jones. Jared

1547
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 2: Jones right now looks like one of the best pitchers

1548
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 2: in baseball. It's only twenty two years old. High school guy.

1549
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 2: The Pirates developed really the first jewel of this as

1550
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 2: Ben Charrington has really remake, remade the entire Pirates system here,

1551
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 2: pitch development system, farm system, everything. He's the first hit

1552
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 2: where people are like, fuck, yeah, it's gonna happen. Where

1553
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 2: he's throwing one hundred miles an now, a crazy ride

1554
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 2: he's got. He's got slider, he's got a change up,

1555
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 2: he's got a color. He's getting the most swings and

1556
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 2: misses almost in baseball, the most chases in baseball, some

1557
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 2: of the most strikeouts in baseball. Thirty five percent strike

1558
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 2: out rate, three percent walk rate at Jared Jones so

1559
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 2: far this year. He's ridiculously disgusting. But the thing with

1560
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 2: that kind of u with that kind of repertoire for Jones,

1561
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 2: if you hit the ball you're gonna hit. Hit the

1562
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 2: ball he put the ball in the bag against Jry

1563
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 2: Jones is going to leave the yard. He gives up

1564
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 2: a lot of home runs. And that's I think how

1565
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 2: the Mets can get to him and can win the series.

1566
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 2: I'll shout Jacks wins. He's a beast.

1567
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: Tell you one thing. I'm really excited that we're missing

1568
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: one pitcher and one pitcher only you know who that is.

1569
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 2: Is he not on the major league team? Is he?

1570
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Did he just get sent down? No, he pitched. He

1571
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: pitched the other day against the Phillies, left handed soft

1572
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: tosser that the Mets will never hit in their lifetime.

1573
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Marco Gonzales. We don't get to see him, thank.

1574
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 2: God, whin the iel today? Actually oh he did.

1575
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry about that, Marco, but glad we don't have

1576
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: to face you.

1577
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 2: I thought you're talking about Paul Skeins because he's the

1578
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: best pitcher on this team and he's not in the

1579
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 2: Major League yet.

1580
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Of course, Yeah, no, I think I don't want to

1581
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: see Paul Skins ever.

1582
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 2: So and also just yeah, one more shout out to

1583
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball schedule, because the Mets still are not

1584
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 2: playing a divisional team until the middle of May. So amazing,

1585
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 2: amazing that when we're going to the West Coast, we

1586
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 2: get the Cardinals again home and then we're still not

1587
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 2: gonna play the fucking Phillies to the middle of May.

1588
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Oh, that's how you want it, that's how you want

1589
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: the schedules. There, shout out inter league play. James loves it.

1590
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 2: Hate playing to take plays like a bullshit re line.

1591
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 2: Divisions made them geographic, and then I want to play

1592
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 2: my rivals more. That'll be that'll say.

1593
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Baseball, Okay, James Chiano, that's his, that's his. That's why

1594
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 1: he's running on hunger strikes and realignment of divisions.

1595
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, to go to go to the desert, find yourself,

1596
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Lisa and Algayib. That's when another series.

1603
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: over here, and it actually is a good one. We

1604
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,320
