1
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Well, most up Mets fans, welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast Full Transparency. I'm gonna say

3
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: this early. I'm gonna say quickly, this is a voicemail episode.

4
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear me specifically be moany and whiny. And

5
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, this is the last episode.

6
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm done with it after this. When I told James

7
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: at the game, is the last of your hearing of

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: it me. I will be I'll be realistic. I will

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: be truthful in previous in next episodes, not previous, that's

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: not how the time works. In the future episodes, I

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: will be realistic and truthful. But this is the last

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: you'll hear of me being whiny. That being said, we

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: have a bunch of voicemail shout to everybody on Instagram

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: who reach out to us at mets up on Instagram,

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: Twitter and TikTok. If you want to be featured in

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: future episodes, it's a great place to do it. We're

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: gonna listen to what you guys have to say. We've

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: done extensive research. We have got some stats that are

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: going to be shocking, and yes, they all lead to

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: me wanting Eric Chavez fired if in case anyone was wondering,

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: that's where my that's my bias right now. I can't

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: I can't stand to see him or Jeremy Barnes continue

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: to be working for this team right now. But hey,

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: that's why we have the voicemails. It's here what the

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: people got to say. Let's see what they have. We'll

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: drop our stats in information to really open your guys'

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: eyes to how bad it currently is. Because as much

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: as Carlos Mendoza and everybody in the Mess organization wants

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: to say things are okay, these are good hitters, they're

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna figure it out. And I half believe it. I

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: half believe it. What we've seen so far this year

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: is truly staggering and shocking. And when we take the

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: numbers and we tell you them out loud, you're gonna

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: be pretty surprised too. Shot to everybody who's gonna take

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: these stats in roun with them on Twitter tomorrow, James,

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: go ahead, drop us a first voicemail. Who do we got?

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: What do we got going on?

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: First voicemail from friend of the program Jury god voice

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Wien coming in from Jury over here. He said this

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: in at three thirty which had to be nine minutes

41
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: after you put the story up on twitther Maybe I

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: mean Instagram. Yeah, so here's from Yuri before the game

43
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: even ended on Wednesday.

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's up, guys. I don't even know why I'm

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: sending that voice message. I really got no words for

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: this team right now. I hope this is at least

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: like a wake up goal, but I've thought that, like

48
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: about the last couple of losses. I've been thinking that

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: since they've been since I got swept by the Padres.

50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 3: But I don't know, man, I think I think Jovas

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 3: has to get fired now. I mean, even if it's

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: just as a sending a message type deal, I really won't.

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, they need to wake up. They need to

54
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: play better. But I don't have the answers. I think

55
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: nobody has the answers. I think they need to toughen

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 3: the fuck up, play better, have a better attitude. Because

57
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: a couple of other shots from inside the dugout this game,

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 3: everyone's looking down in the domes. Honestly, use this voice moment.

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: But they stuck right now, need to get better, should

60
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: play better. Hit the fucking baseball hard.

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: Use his voicemail. That's a great voicemail because I think

62
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: you're right voice Mark, and I didn't get a lot

63
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: of insights into how these players looking to dug out

64
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: because because we were at two of the three games

65
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: in the series, and the third game we spent half

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: of it at softball watching on our phones, so we

67
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: didn't get to see a lot of the insights we took.

68
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: A lot of the reporters have been saying it does

69
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: seem like these guys are down the dumps. Eddie Martinez

70
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: specifically mentioned Wan showing want so those showing frustration, but

71
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys do want to hear this, Like

72
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: we're at the pointing the team probably just has to

73
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: fire Eric Chavs just to get adjults, just to get

74
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: the juices flowing, or I don't know, Laurns and just

75
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: someone something. There has to be something that happens that

76
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: like gives this team like a shock to the system

77
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: that just this isn't okay and like something something is changing,

78
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: not that I think it's actually necessarily would or could

79
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: or will change anything, because I think the role of

80
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: the hitting coach is like super overstated, like in the

81
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: the public perception, but it's just kind of I guess

82
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: not to scare people, but just to make them like

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: open their eyes and blink a few times and like

84
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: get some moisture back in there and just wake up

85
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: a little bit.

86
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: I think I think it's to show a little life.

87
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Like Uri said, this team doesn't look like they got Jews.

88
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't look they have energy. I mean, do we

89
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: want to drop the stats now, James, Is this the

90
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: time since we're talking about Eric Chavez and what he

91
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: is like as a hitting coach, or we wait a

92
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: little bit longer.

93
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: I think we should wait to some more when we

94
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: get more specific mentions of specific players. We have a

95
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: lot of stats specifically about specific guys I think will

96
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: be fun to fit silent. I'm gonna get some more voicemails.

97
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: You know, can't.

98
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: This isn't our show, this is their show.

99
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: This is their show. This is the people show. But yeah,

100
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: I me and you talked about and this is the

101
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: first time I've truly heard you be like take away

102
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: like what Chavez is doing fundamentally, philosophically, like whatever. I think,

103
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: just simply to show show a little something to the team,

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: maybe wake some guys up, like, Hey, what's happening is unacceptable.

105
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: This is this is to send a message. It is

106
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: crazy that we might not see a head role yet.

107
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: And it's funny I think that we always said that,

108
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 2: like you're not going to fire Eric shav Is when

109
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: your team still is one of the best records national

110
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: league and your off it's still in the top third

111
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: of the league. Now those things have both changed. We're

112
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: now like pushing back towards the wildcard race. I'm so

113
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: relieved he won that Sunday game against the Reds or

114
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: else they'd be even two games closer to us right now,

115
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: which would really be changing things. And also the offense

116
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: has gone from like the sixth to seventh ranked offense

117
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: overall in the league for the season, down like four

118
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 2: key word for down, to like the fifteenth ranked offense

119
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: this season just based on runs per game I think

120
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: so twelfth overall, thirteenth overall ops. So again that's not

121
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: like alarm bells for an offense, but for this offense

122
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: was supposed to be and the offenser shouldn't could be.

123
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: That's alarming. And if some more things happen about Eric

124
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: Shavis social media, I think that could actually wind up

125
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 2: being the nail on the coffin.

126
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there may be a burner out there that

127
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: has been floated around. I'll be honest, I'm gonna get

128
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: ahead of that one. I don't think that the burner

129
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: that's being u pushed out on Twitter right now is

130
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: necessarily his burner. I think that that account is just

131
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: kind of almost feeding into it. And I do think

132
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: that the language used on that count's pretty unacceptable, and

133
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: I just I don't see Eric Shavas doing that. I

134
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: don't think he's a bad person. That account feels like

135
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: a bad person thing. That being said, there is an

136
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Eric Shavas Twitter account. It's it's public. I've found it.

137
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: I've seen it just as he's tweeted. It's his name

138
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: and numbers. You guys can find it if you look

139
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: hard enough, he replies to Only Eric Shavez tweets specifically

140
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: at certain people in the Mets community. It's him. Like,

141
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: there's no doubt my mind, I know what Eric Shavis'

142
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: Twitter is. The burner that's being perpetuated right now. I

143
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: don't truly believe it is. Again, that would be a

144
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: garbage person type thing, and I don't think that's him.

145
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: So I really hope that doesn't run rampant, but it

146
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: is weird that he is pretty active on social media

147
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: hating his haters as much as he is for a

148
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: guy who I think is very much on the hot seat,

149
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: or at least should be on the hot.

150
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: Seat, at least relatively on the hot seat compared to

151
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: where he definitely was even like two wish weeks ago.

152
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the next voicemail going, Oh, you want me

153
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: to pull the next voicemail. Okay, No, that's honestly, you're right,

154
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: that's how we've done in the past, and that's on

155
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: me hand up, not not locked in, all right. Shout

156
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: out to our girl, Emily, one of the few women

157
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: that do listen to this podcast. Let's see what Emily

158
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: has got to say.

159
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: Hey, Mark and James, maybe this team just stinks. I

160
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: am not. You gotta believing right now. Don't even really

161
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: want to see Alonso tie Strawberry right now because it

162
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: would just feel so in this situation. Anyways, Thanks for

163
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 4: all you do, Murphy. Interview was great.

164
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: By thanks, I mean she's right. Well, we were at

165
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: the game and we were like, man, we taught Ao

166
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: Alonso tying Darryl Strawberry in the ninth inning when they're

167
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: getting no hit or I guess at that moment one hit,

168
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: We're like, this is going to really be like the

169
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: latest way ever that he would tie this record.

170
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: And there was a conversation going on Twitter led by

171
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: Everyone's Safe for Report, the Andy Martine where he said,

172
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: like how the Mets fans actually feel about Pilanzo tying

173
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: the record, Like doesn't mean a lot to you, doesn't

174
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: mean a little too, Like where does it put you?

175
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: And I think most Mets fans would like it's like

176
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: kind of cool, like it is, but it's just like

177
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: the way the team's playing right now, I think would

178
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: overshadow what is setting a cool franchise record, while also

179
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: at the same time, like that is in terms of

180
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: records franchises could have. It's definitely not the most.

181
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty unimpressive.

182
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: It's not unimpressive because it's still a lot of home

183
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: runs the guy's hit in seven years. The speed with

184
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: which with which Peter Lownso has done it is cool

185
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: because it's not for the COVID year. He's basically doing

186
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: this on still a rookie level deal, Like it's still

187
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: the first like six complete seasons of his career, having

188
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty home runs in six years. That's sick.

189
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: That's impressive. Last part's impressive, And I do one record

190
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: wise not impressed.

191
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: That's the part that's not impressive. Yeah, if if even

192
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: just like the conversation of like, fastest guys in the

193
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: Major league history tutor fifty home runs games wise, that's

194
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: pretty cool part of it. But I do think that

195
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: it would really kind of dramatically be overshadowed right now

196
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: by how badly this team is hitting, playing all those things.

197
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: You kind of can't break that record when you're getting

198
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: absolutely embarrassed by a team that's actively not trying to

199
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: win baseball games.

200
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: Actively trying to win half their baseball games.

201
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: That's fair, actively trying to be a five hundred team

202
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: and be good enough to basically still be professional.

203
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got the next voice while coming here from

204
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: our boy Tom. Here comes Thomas's voicemail, a two part

205
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: of their fourteen second and a seventeen seconds So I

206
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, And there's also this was sent minutes

207
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 2: after you posted the story as well, So this is

208
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: a two forty four PM voicemail.

209
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: Emily came in at two forty one incredible and.

210
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: We got the jury three thirty. You guys are on

211
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: this one, but here comes Thomas.

212
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 5: This team is pathetic, there's no life, nobody cares. Why

213
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: is Thereic Tramas still have a job?

214
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: Why?

215
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: Who?

216
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: Why are we employing him?

217
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: Why?

218
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 5: That's all I have to say is why?

219
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: And one more?

220
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 5: Do you know what?

221
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: Shout out Gavin Williams.

222
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: That's it. Wait, shout out Gavin Williams.

223
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 6: Looked like the greatest pitcher ever of Fuck Eric Chavez,

224
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 6: Fuck everybody.

225
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: Fuck this team.

226
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 6: They're lifeless, they don't give a shit, and I'm tired

227
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 6: of watching.

228
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: I was fully in that staining in rooting for at

229
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: Williams complete to No Hither. I'd never seen a nine

230
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: inning no hither from a pitcher live. I saw the

231
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: Mets team No Hither twenty twenty two, which was cool,

232
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: mostly because the Mets don't have many of those. But

233
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: seeing a pitcher throwing No Hither and him walking out

234
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: of the dugout with like one hundred tent pitches his

235
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: ninth was kind of a sick moment, and it would

236
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: have been nice to maximize the embarrassment with this team,

237
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: like you get no hit at home by a pitcher

238
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: with a one point four whip heading into the game, unseasoned,

239
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: and it's just it's too many people know too much better.

240
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 2: Cholds this point, like he's too much of a conversation

241
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: for this to still be a thing. And I do

242
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: think that's almost He's almost like a distraction at this point.

243
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: I feel like.

244
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: It's almost like he he is, I think, and it

245
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: might become rifle, might become wrongful, becoming escapegoat though for

246
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: the fact that a lot of these players have just

247
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: not stepped up in a really significant way this year,

248
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: Like we're getting pretty objectively not like a bad season

249
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: of out of Francisco Lindor. We've had two terrible months

250
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: out of Pee Alonso, We've had two bad months out

251
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: of brand Nemo, Like six eight really good weeks at

252
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: Brandimo and then two now three more bad, really bad

253
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: weeks of Brandim. Jeff McNeil was really hot for two

254
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: months and he's been called for by the month. It's

255
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: just such an absolute roller coaster up and down. There

256
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: was a stat going around Twitter on Tuesday night that

257
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: no hitter on the Mess has a seven hundred ops

258
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 2: over the last month to play zero hitters Jeff McNeil

259
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: had the seven hundred going into play on Wednesday, didn't

260
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: get any hits. He'd now dropped under, there's not one

261
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: player in the mess with seven seven hundred ops over

262
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: a month. You can never win like that.

263
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: Now, of course, we do not know what the conversations

264
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: are being had. We don't know if there are adjustments

265
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: being made, and I would like to think there are.

266
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: Well, did you see carsls me does quotes after the game?

267
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: No, what are you saying?

268
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: He said that we're recognizing. I'll get you to the

269
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: exact quotes right now because it kind of opened the door,

270
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: I think. At the same time, and Doze was giving

271
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: some flack to both the positional coaches and the players,

272
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: while then also walking back a tiny bitten saying the

273
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: coaches are doing a great job. It's just not being

274
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: communicated well enough something like that. But this quote did's

275
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: a problem, But this quote did make the rounds. I'm

276
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: scrolling and try and get it okay. He Carls. Mendoza

277
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: says the mess of the Mets have lacked conviction at

278
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: times while as to play, and he wants to see

279
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: them trust in their abilities and their plan more. And

280
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: then He said the players have struggled to make in

281
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: game adjustments, and someone asked why that's the case. He said,

282
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: our coaches are working really hard, they continue to have

283
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: those discussions with the players, but we still got to

284
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: do it.

285
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go I'm gonna take what he said,

286
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna kind of fire back at you a

287
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: little bit here and see what you have to say

288
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: about this. We've had Trevor May on the podcast before

289
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: and one of the things that he lauded Jeremy Hefner

290
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 1: for so much about his job and his position, was

291
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: that Jeremy Hefner is excellent at taking information and basically

292
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: giving it out to the players and making it understandable,

293
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: making it attainable, and understanding what the game plan is

294
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: and how to execute and what the Mets players need

295
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: to do what they're looking to do. Is there not

296
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: some fault on the coaches. I understand the players need

297
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: to execute. This is not me completely escapegoating Eric Chavez

298
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: because the players still need to perform at the end

299
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: of the day. The coaches can only do so much.

300
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: But if everybody on this roster is having the same issues,

301
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: because it is, it's in everybody. We got stats with

302
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: this team without Juan Soto, and they are shocking, and

303
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: I will read them to you maybe in a little

304
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: bit here, But at some point, maybe the way that

305
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: Eric Schavez and or Jeremy Barnes disseminate this information give

306
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: out what the plan is supposed to be is not working.

307
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it's become dull, maybe it doesn't stick. Maybe they're

308
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: bad at it. There's a possibility that they are legitimately

309
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: bad at their job. That feels to me like there's

310
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: a problem that there is. There's this major disconnect that

311
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: the manager of this organization, this roster is feeling as well.

312
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: He's going the coaches are working hard, the players are

313
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: not understanding it. Do you blame the players? Do you

314
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: blame the coaches. It's probably a little bit of both,

315
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: And to be honest, I tend to lean to blame

316
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: them the coaches then, because they're not doing enough to

317
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: make the players actually understand what.

318
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: Needs to be done. The part of that that's weird

319
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: for me is that these were the same coaches last

320
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 2: year with most of the same players. So say, how

321
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: how was there more of a disconnect this time around?

322
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: Last time in around.

323
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: Hot take Jad Martinez.

324
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,239
Speaker 2: He think he was like the middleman, like with jam Martinez,

325
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: like it might be because like was he the de

326
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: facto quality assurance coach.

327
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: Now I'll say this, like Jady Martin was pretty horrible

328
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: last year. I think I think we all know that,

329
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: Like he went through a stretch where he was unplayable,

330
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: but there was something that happened offensively, There was a

331
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: second gear that this team hit when he started hanging around.

332
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: We saw it with Vientos, we saw with a bunch

333
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: of players. There was a different approach to the plate.

334
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: And Jad Martinez, for all intensive purposes, has been a

335
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: very very cerebral hitter throughout his career. He was a

336
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: guy who was a very very early adapter of like

337
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: watching video during games, acknowledging what's going on as bats,

338
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: like maybe at times to a fault that can probably

339
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: be a little at times low crippling, hyper analyzing every

340
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: single thing that's going on. But also maybe that was

341
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: part of it. Maybe there again, there was a disconnect

342
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: between the coaching staff on the hitting side and the players,

343
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: and Jady Martinez was able to help bridge that gap.

344
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: That's probably also giving him away too much.

345
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: Gret totally, but I actually think there is something to

346
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: that because the Mets don't have a quality control coach

347
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: on their staff. They do have a separate strategy coach,

348
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: which is Danny Barnes, but Danny Barnes was a reliever,

349
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: so I don't know how involved people do with some

350
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: of this hitting stuff. And then they do with two

351
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: hitting coaches and Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes, and then

352
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: they also had, yeah, the strategy coach and Danny Barnes,

353
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: So there could be something to this where Jad Martinez

354
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: could have been the facto translated, because I do think

355
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: this is a big thing that a lot of these

356
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: major league coaching staffs lack because there's so much advanced

357
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: information just being disseminated like day after day and moment

358
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: after a moment. We talked about it with Murphy when

359
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: we talked to him a few weeks ago, about how

360
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: much information did you like in game versus out of

361
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: the game. Where was your preference, where was your reaction?

362
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: He basically said, in the game, I'm in the game.

363
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: We definitely know that's not true of all players. I

364
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: think there are a lot of guys who probably do

365
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: want to be looking at these things in games. So

366
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: perhaps that there was a bit of a communication bridge

367
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: that Jad Martinez was kind of holding a lot of

368
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: weight inside of that now is gone. I'm not advocating

369
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: for Jada mar team who've been put up back on

370
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: this team or anything like that. I'm just saying that

371
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: that is while a lot of these things, a lot

372
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: of the same processes were in place last year, that

373
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: is one thing that's defiantly different right now.

374
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And maybe maybe that's the difference. Maybe there is

375
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: an issue with how to communicate these things. I mean, shit,

376
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: we've heard Francisco Indoor publicly say to reporters that he

377
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: called out Chavez last year for not doing his job,

378
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: and at the moment, at the moment when we saw that,

379
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: we were like, huh, that feels that feels like a problem, right.

380
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: I Mean, sometimes maybe it's right in front of your

381
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: face and it's so fucking obvious you can't see it.

382
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: There also have been a few instances this year. We

383
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: never know what's going on in somebody's personal life for

384
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: what's actually is that is the deal happening with some

385
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: of these coaches and their staff and how often they're

386
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: supposed to be in the building and out of the building.

387
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: But Eric Chavas sometimes isn't with the team, and again

388
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: we don't know exactly why. We know he has youngersh kids.

389
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: We know he does have a house in Arizona, so

390
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: if the Mexico in the West there having some days

391
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: where he's been there, so it's like it's it's we

392
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: don't know exactly how these coaching staffs were socially having

393
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: two hitting coaches, because you know the famous saying you

394
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: have two hitting coaches, you really have none. There could

395
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: be a situation why that is happening right now, but

396
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: it is a strange coaching alignment from the get go,

397
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 2: and a lot of that did happen from the fact

398
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 2: that we kind of bumped Javas around the last few

399
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: years hitting coach, bench coach back to hitting coach. It's

400
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 2: something that most other teams have not done. Situations like

401
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 2: this last few years take away what we think about

402
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: him currently in the moment as what he is as

403
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: a hitting coach. Like Jeremy Hefner is the exception, because

404
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: he is highly lauded amongst every baseball person in the world,

405
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: stand out, standout, phenomenal coach like the best pitching coach

406
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: arguably in baseball. Never have heard those same things about

407
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: Jeremy Barnes and Eric Chavez. But they're from the old regime,

408
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 2: and the fact that they're still here is weird. They're

409
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: like the only people from that old regime that have

410
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: still stuck around. And it doesn't it doesn't make sense

411
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: to me.

412
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 7: AHM on my phone right now in Arena Club and

413
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 7: I'm looking at the Emerald slab packs and I see

Speaker 7: Well, you gotta buy it to me.

419
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't have it.

420
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 7: You know you have to get a slab pack.

421
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: No, I don't have that, And give me.

422
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,400

00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: He's not going down. Get a grill. Get a grill.

Speaker 2: God give me the Holy grill you do it.

432

Speaker 7: To do that, you must get yourself a slab pack

433
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 7: in Arena Club or if you want to get it

00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 7: now you can get twenty percent off your first slab

436
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 7: pack or your first card purchase if you're going on

Speaker 7: the code f O U L.

441
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about it more here. I've got another

442
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: message here coming in from a Los. Let's see what

443
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: he's got to say.

444
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: MA loose.

445
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 1: From the that we're all in hell.

446
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: Yeah's Carlos this.

447
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 5: Time for going go ahead and fire Eric Chavez. If

448
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 5: the entire team cannot put.

449
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 7: The bats to the ball, there's a problem.

450
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I think it's time for me to drop my stats.

451
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 2: Are you ready? The stats are here. I was waiting

452
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: for someone to specifically call that one. So because I

453
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: thought we were going to get that.

454
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't.

455
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't don't.

456
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. I think the people that listen

457
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: to this podcast are way too smart to do something

458
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: like that. So me and James while we're at the game.

459
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: I looked him and I said, and I know, I

460
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: know me and him, Me and James specifically have argued

461
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: back and forth on what's going on with this team offensively,

462
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: but we're we're friends. This is all in good fun,

463
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: this is good content. And I looked at James and

464
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: I go, I think, if we take Juan Soto out

465
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: of the equation, these numbers are gonna fall off a cliff.

466
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: And me and James took Wan So out of the equation,

467
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: and the numbers fall off a cliff so quickly.

468
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 2: I want to tell you, guys, the Mets stats still

469
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: across the league just offensively as a team. We alluded

470
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: to them before, but in terms of just a stat

471
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 2: that Mark and I think our favorite one to just

472
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: completely just assume offense. Ops. The Mets are still twelfth

473
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: in the league. They might be thirteenth behind the Brewers

474
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: because it was seven twenty five for a seven to

475
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 2: twenty four that was going into play on Wednesday. Mets

476
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: a thirteenth in runs per game. The Mets aren't fourth

477
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: in walk grate actually, and the Mets are where I said,

478
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: thirteenth in on base percentage. Now probably not now thirteenth

479
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: on base percentage, so it's still again objectively and weighted

480
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: runs created plus WSC plus ninth, So in terms of

481
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: all of the still fulham alcamation of offensive stats for

482
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: the whole season, the Mets are still objectively speaking, don't

483
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: crash your car, do not yell at me, do not

484
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: go and Twitter and curse me out. A top ten

485
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: offense in baseball, which again you don't like the fact

486
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: that this isn't one of like the five best offensive

487
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: baseball because you think it was built to be that.

488
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: But you could still be like, it's a top third

489
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: offensive baseball. That's an offense that should no matter what,

490
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: but at least a competent pitching staff, which I'm so

491
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: happy no one's brought out the pitching staff because I

492
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: worried about people getting mad about the pitching staff because

493
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: slid not the problem. Should be able to drag you

494
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: to the playoffs no matter what.

495
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: But now that's because Wan Soto is in the lineup.

496
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: I think could be one of the more underrated players

497
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: in baseball because when you hear the difference in the

498
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: numbers of what this Mets team looks like with Juan

499
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: Soto and without Wan Soto, it is staggering. The Mets

500
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: simply are one of the worst offensive teams in Major

501
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: League Baseball if you take Jan Soto out of the lineup,

502
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: and I understand that's not what they are stupid conversation.

503
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: This is like theoretically, it is a stupid conversation, but

504
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: I do think it magnifies what's actually going wrong with

505
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: this team. And a big reason is the Mets do

506
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: not get on base. And I think part of the

507
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: reason why runners of scoring position problem feels so magnified

508
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: is because they actually don't get on base very often.

509
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: So without WANs in this lineup, the Mets on base

510
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: percentage for the season is three toh nine. With Wan

511
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: Soda in the lineup, the Mets on base percentage is

512
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: three to nineteen. That is a ten point drop. If

513
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: you look at the major league averages right now, that

514
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: would put the Mets hard at number twenty three in

515
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball or twenty two, twenty two, twenty three,

516
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: wherever that is going to be. That is that of

517
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: the Orioles, Angels, Pirates, Guardians, Rangers, Royals, White Sox, and Rockies.

518
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear those names again, because that is pretty

519
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: much the only teams in Major League Baseball the Mets

520
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: are better than offensively, without considering Juan Soto, it is.

521
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: It is staggering. You go to the slugging Mets slugging

522
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: percent just three ninety eight, that puts them in the

523
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: middle of the pack, still in Major League Baseball. But

524
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: that drops him a bunch, that drops him almost nine

525
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: points or something like that for the season. And then

526
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: where it gets really shocking, the biggest one they still

527
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: hit the ball hard, still hit the ball hard. Shout

528
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: out James loves heart hit rate, heart hit rate. Everyone

529
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: should love heart hit rate. But the staggering one is

530
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: when you look at barrel ray and this would explain

531
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: why the Mets are having so many issues getting runs,

532
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: extra base hits, scoring runs. The barrels are what you

533
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: should be chasing in baseball. If you're not trying to

534
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: hit barrels, I don't know what you're trying to do.

535
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: That's why Luis Ryce stinks. Nobody cares about it.

536
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: And just to tell you, guys, a barrel when we

537
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: talk about barrel ray, that's when you hit a ball

538
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: that has to have at least a ninety mile ninver

539
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: x of lastly, so a little a tiny bit higher

540
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: for threshold than a hard hit ball and has to

541
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: be struck between a twenty second and thirty degree launch angle.

542
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: And you can keep getting barrels as you get a

543
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: higher launch angle, but they have to then be hit

544
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: in like in proportion harder hit with the higher launch angle.

545
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: So it's basically bad at balls that are better, for

546
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: lack of a better term, smacked.

547
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna blow your guys mind. With Wands in the lineup.

548
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: The Mets are the third highest team in terms of

549
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: barrel rate this season ten point four percent. That is

550
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: the third highest, only behind the Yankees and Angels, which

551
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: the Angels only hit home runs, and the Yankees have

552
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: Aaron drugs, which is crazy, So think about that for

553
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: a second. Without wand Soto, this team's barrel rate is

554
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: six point six percent. That is the second worst in

555
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. The only team worst is weirdly, the

556
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers. But they don't play baseball the same way

557
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: that anyone else in baseball does. They're weird, they're bizarre.

558
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: They break how this game is played, They play fast,

559
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: they play different. So what I'm hearing is that this

560
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: Mets team, outside of Juan Soto, makes the second worst

561
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: quality of contact in the entire league. So fire Eric

562
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: Shavs and Jeremy Barnes.

563
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 2: It's also just his star reminder of what this season

564
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: could have looked like if we did not sign Wan

565
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: Solo like we we would be probably right now five

566
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: ten games on their five hundred. We'd be kind of

567
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 2: toiling around.

568
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: With the Braves.

569
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: We might be we might be a couple of games

570
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: worse than the Marlins right now if we weren't able

571
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 2: to And there's a lot of I mean, I was

572
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: expecting a few anti Solo voicemails because there's just been

573
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: so much of this on Twitter last few days, and

574
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: I think that it's it's easy to forget how good

575
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: and how much he is able to change this lineup,

576
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: even while he's not having the best season of his career,

577
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: because there has been a massive level of just simple

578
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: regression from every other guy in this team. I said,

579
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: looking deeply the numbers, that I was scared about Francisco

580
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: Lindor back towards the end of May. I didn't realize

581
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 2: he'd also break his toe after that. And then when

582
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: you add those things together, one him getting a little

583
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: bit older, and two playing whole season with a broken

584
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: So he's been actually just bad for about two for

585
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: literally two exact straight months, going two exact months. Because

586
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: Francisco Indor hit the foul ball off his tone of

587
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: fracture than in June fourth, we're looking at a two

588
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: to ten batting average of two seventy on base and

589
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: a three sixty sluck. So that is terrible. That's twenty

590
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 2: percent worse than league average. That's untenably bad. And the

591
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: worst part is that before that foul ball off his toe,

592
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: he was two eighty four three fifty six, four to

593
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 2: ninety eight. That was an eight to fifty ops forty

594
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: percent better than league gaverage. He was pacing for a

595
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: great season. But at the same time he was pacing

596
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: for that. The fear was the dropping the bat speed,

597
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 2: not pulling his fly balls as much. There was some

598
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: chinks in the arm or and now with the injury,

599
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: we've seen that. And then if you just look at

600
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: this Mets team says that Francisco and Lindor broke in

601
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: toe happened, and again we don't want to you can't

602
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: really blame one player same way that we're talking about

603
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 2: how much want So has elevated this offense. We can't

604
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: just say Francisco Indor isn't up to his MVP level standards.

605
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: We saw last season that this team should just suck.

606
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: But since he broke that toe, this Mets team is

607
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: twenty four and twenty nine June fourth, and that with

608
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: two different six game win streaks, actually one seven game

609
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: win streaks, So thirteen of the twenty four wins that

610
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 2: we've had since June fourth happened within one week of

611
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: time each. So there's been besides two good weeks of baseball,

612
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: nine straight weeks of bad baseball since fan Francisco and

613
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: Door foul ball off his toe. And it's not an

614
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: excuse for the rest of the players of this team.

615
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: Plans has been nice cold since then as well. Brandon

616
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 2: Nimmo's been streaky, Jef McNeil, what's hot went cold, Baity's

617
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: been streaking, Marisio kind of just has these pop off

618
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: games and goes crazy. Viento's has been absent until the

619
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: last week, but still doesn't really feel like he's really

620
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: clicked back in all the way. Alvarez. We know what's

621
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: going on with Alvaz this year, like it's it's a

622
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 2: lot on all the other players. The whole point of

623
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: a team is that someone struggling and you should step up.

624
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: But I really look back at that moment, Lindor breaking

625
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: his toe, not going down the injured list when it happened,

626
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: and that probably still dealing with nag and effects that

627
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: all season, while dealing with regular regression, and it just

628
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: looks it just looks bad overall.

629
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: No, it's a it's an absolute fucking mess like this,

630
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: This offense is a mess. And I again you mentioned

631
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm glad we're not getting any pitching voicemails yet we might,

632
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: we might get some, and I honestly I'm gonna bet

633
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: that we at least get one. But it is so

634
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: not the problem of this team right now. The Mets

635
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: address the bullpen. Bullpen's good. The starting pitching, we would

636
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: love to see them go deeper. They don't have to

637
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: go deeper if necessarily. This bullpen is much better. We

638
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: have read Garrett pitching the sixth inning now, like that's

639
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: such a huge relief. Loss is our eighth inning guy,

640
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: and losses he's pitching in the sixth inning. The number

641
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: one problem and the overarching problem of this entire team

642
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: has been that nobody besides Juan Soto and Pete Alonso

643
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: for a little bit, have been able to do almost

644
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: anything at the plate this year. And that is why

645
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: the Mets continue to lose games. And until something changes,

646
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: the Mets will continue to lose games. This is not sustainable. Again,

647
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: the teams that I'm mentioning that the Mets are better

648
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: than offensively right now are the worst teams in baseball.

649
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: You want to know why the Orioles suck this year.

650
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: They have bad pitching and they can't fucking hit. You

651
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: want to know what the Pirates think because they can't hit.

652
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: The Guardians think because they can't hit. You look at

653
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: every every single team that the Mets are better than offensively,

654
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: they all stink because they cannot hit. And at the

655
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, if we don't score more runs

656
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: than the team you're playing against, you will never win

657
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: a baseball game. And the Mets are not giving themselves

658
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: that opportunity.

659
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: No, And you go, you have a series like this

660
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: against the Guardians where I know we're not actually specifically

661
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: talking about the series because I don't think you guys

662
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: want to hear about it, and I don't want to

663
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: talk about it. Where you give up four runs, you

664
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: give up three runs, and then you give up five

665
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 2: runs in regular time and then two runs with the

666
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: bullshit extra inning rules. So it's like those are just

667
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: based on the runs you gave up very winnable games.

668
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: You lost the game on Friday, you gave up four

669
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: runs one of those game in extra innings, Padres gave

670
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: up seven runs, and two games he gave up five runs. Okay, whatever,

671
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: It's just you have opportunities to win these games. It's

672
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: the fact that this can't be a league average offense

673
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: right now is the reason you continue to lose them.

674
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: And that's with one so O their league average. Yeah,

675
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: everybody else with signs one so lucky. We have one

676
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: so though.

677
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: But it was just highlighting the fact of what the

678
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: floor could have looked like without him.

679
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: And then my last thing I'll mentioned here before we

680
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: get going on to a next voicemail, because of how

681
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: bad everyone else has been. Juan Soto's production that he's

682
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: been with getting on base, with hitting the ball harder,

683
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: doing that stuff, it means nothing because nobody else can

684
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: do anything else.

685
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: And like you said, to start this whole diatribe. It

686
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: exasperates the I think I keep using that word wrong.

687
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: But whatever, it makes the risk problem look a lot

688
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: worse because we have few opportunities relatively to get those

689
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: runs home. We have few when you have fewer chances,

690
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: and you still fail them to get magnified.

691
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: And those guys who come up, including Juan Soto, aren't

692
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: hitting it or aren't getting them done either. Because most

693
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: of these guys are not hitting well with our runners

694
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: in scoring position. I think that's the other conversation they're

695
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: not That's my whole.

696
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: Conversation that was involve the point that made this podcast

697
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: all season not hitting.

698
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: They're the entire team's not hitting.

699
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: There we go, we got you. We finally got back

700
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: to it, all right, Next one coming Kyle McDonald. Another

701
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: quick one at two forty eight, with then an update

702
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: at three fifty seven. So again, so quick voicemails from

703
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: the people here.

704
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep this short and sweet because.

705
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 8: I mat work right now.

706
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 9: But if you're getting no hit through six and I

707
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 9: only got one, you're saying is.

708
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 5: The guy stinks.

709
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 9: Get him out of here and bring up in triple

710
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 9: A and and coach pick salvs a swing in the

711
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 9: earlier week and keep faith. Boys, it's gonna be a

712
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 9: tough end of stretch.

713
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: And we got the update an hour later.

714
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: I know what I want to talk about.

715
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 10: Though, all right, got swept by the Guardians Bats, all right,

716
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 10: because I don't know if you guys remember the last

717
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 10: time that's got almost no hit.

718
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: JD.

719
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 10: Martinez hit a home run in the ninth inning and

720
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 10: then Met's went on to run.

721
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: That was the game versus the Marlins last year.

722
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 10: So big run coming, tough schedule ahead, Let's go Mats.

723
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 5: Love the podcast boys, keep it up.

724
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: Thank you Colin. It is shockingly, shockingly positive at the end.

725
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: I didn't think that was coming.

726
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: Actually, I do think I want to take that moment

727
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: because while we've just been spewing hate and vitriol's whole episode,

728
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna get a lot more fire shot

729
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: as fire shot as fire shavas. Yeah, even after the

730
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: Mets almost got no hit in that game, I think

731
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: I think it was also the Braves, not the Marlins.

732
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: Last year. We should have gotten no hit in a

733
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: game that you guys probably remember very fondly against the

734
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. Remember that one that was the day game

735
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 2: against Bowden Francis that we really should have gotten no hit,

736
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: but then Francisc glendor broke up the no hitter with

737
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: the home run of the ninth inning. Oddly enough, for

738
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: almost even around that point in the season. Actually, we're

739
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: even before that point in the season. That was last September.

740
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: That was after a big win streak when we were

741
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: still kind of teethering. Even if you go back exactly

742
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 2: a year to the day right now we were having that.

743
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: We just had that one game makeup in Saint Louis

744
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: that we won with seanm and Ia pitch and we

745
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: went to Colorado won two out of three. That was

746
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: before the horrible series in Seattle against the managers were

747
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: basically shut out for three straight games, and then that

748
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: that clobbering, that nine run clobbering. We were hanging out

749
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: with early Ernie and Drew and Christina Carlos that that

750
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: Tuesday night against the A's at the time of the

751
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: Oakland A So again we're still a week clear of that,

752
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: which still felt like a rock bottom even after the

753
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: great run of last year. So it is easy to

754
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: forget how much time is left in the season. We

755
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: still have almost two full months of the regular season,

756
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: which is nuts. We have as much time right now

757
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: left in the regular season as we have from now

758
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: going back to like a week before Memorial.

759
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: Day or like the COVID season, then yeah.

760
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: We basically have a COVID. We almost have a full

761
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: COVID season left. Just a reminded of Dodgers fans out there.

762
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: I'll fake that championship. But so this, I don't want

763
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: to be like we are doing gloom right now. This

764
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: team looks like fucking raging dog shit. I'm not gonna

765
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: sugar go with that for you. But it's not the

766
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 2: end of the world. You can see the light at

767
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: the end, you like, you could look like we can

768
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: see the end of the world. We can see where

769
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,479
Speaker 2: it falls off the cliff. But there is still legitimate

770
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: amount of time where if there's anything good that happens,

771
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: two good games, I'm suddenly back.

772
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Mets take the series and the Brewers

773
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: and the title of the YouTube videos gonna be the

774
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: Mets are so back, Like, I know exactly what's gonna happen.

775
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: I know what it's gonna be. That being said, I

776
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: do want to have a bigger conversation about Francis Squabaz here,

777
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: He's looked awesome. He's one of the few guys that

778
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: has looked awesome, especially since it's been called back up.

779
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: Does does that not feel weird that it took him

780
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: going down to hit in triple A and.

781
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: Working with JP Air and Sebia?

782
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: Do you think he was so defiant of Eric Schavs

783
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: and Jeremy Barnes or do you think those guys were

784
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: not even trying to make changes?

785
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 5: Like what?

786
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: That that's weird right Optically, it's weird.

787
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: That is weird, And I'm just just to feed into

788
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: our narratives and everyone else's narratives. I'll agree with you

789
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: on the surface, but I also think in Alvarez this case,

790
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: it was such a weird problem he was having by

791
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: just and this leads in back to your approach thing

792
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: where he was kind of doing this thing where he

793
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: was trying to shorten up and trying to be a

794
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: different kind of hitter. I think the biggest thing with sports, baseball, life, coaching,

795
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: anything in general, you just gotta be yourself. Francisco Alvarez

796
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: was put on this earth to just take absolutely gargantuman

797
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: daddy hacks and try to send the ball into the

798
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: fifteenth row of the left field stance. That's it. That's

799
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: the only thing that fucking matters. That is, it's the

800
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: only thing that mattered, because I think a lot about

801
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 2: how we lost the game on Monday, which we'll rehash

802
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: that quickly for you guys, because you wanted to hear

803
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 2: about it because it was so top of mine in

804
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: the moment where in the ninth inning, after again Met's

805
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: made a great comeback a gray five r and comeback

806
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 2: in that game after Carlsmondoza seemingly just like I have

807
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: to get Sean and I threw six innings to Showman

808
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: and I had nothing in that sixth inning Threnada that

809
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: mile in our fastball hit a batther through a wild pitch,

810
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 2: was a fucking mess, No reason why I should have

811
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: been out there.

812
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: But make a great comeback fuel by Pete. If you

813
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: just had a big sack, fly what Twitter says, you

814
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: gotta go six innings? So but then again, great comeback,

815
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: we had great time, great comeback.

816
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 2: Tyron Taylor's on to start the ninth inning or someone

817
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: or al for his gout on Drew walk Actually in

818
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: Tyron Taylors pitch running. We don't send Tyron Taylor and

819
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: he Steel's.

820
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: Just say I'm gonna say words, I'm so mad.

821
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 2: You guys know what happened for ciscole Indoor, who again

822
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: it's much Malian people should not him. He should have

823
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: had the walk off hit in that game. There was

824
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: a play where he put the double, didn't get all

825
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: the way to the corner. Nolan Jones threw the ball

826
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: into Weirdly, the coloff man Carlos Santana Mike Sarbaugh holds

827
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: up Tyron Taylor at their base. You can see in

828
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: the replay that looked like it could have been a

829
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: close play with perfect throws. It wasn't perfect throws. That's

830
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: hindside twenty twenty. Tyrone Taylor is still probably safe. You

831
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 2: send him, But the logic of the move before I

832
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: let Mark spew the hate out of his mouth, it

833
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 2: makes sense because you're like, all right, Pete Alonso's up,

834
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: He's already four for four in this game. We need

835
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: a fly ball to win the game. And Peter Alonzo

836
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: comes up and just shits his pants and.

837
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: He tries to hit opposite He's she's shortening up his swing.

838
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: He's just trying to make contact. He still can't touch

839
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: Kate Smith because he throws one hundred miles an hour

840
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: while striding like ninety percent of the way to the

841
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: play at The guy's a monster, and then he strikes

842
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: out to go to the extra innings and that's why

843
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: we wind up losing that game. Approach wise, that was

844
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: fucking horrific to get that situation and try to not

845
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: be yourself. I understand that you do want to shorten up,

846
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: as murphle likes to tell us, you want to play

847
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: catch with the center fielder, but you don't want to

848
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: really dramatically change the way you think about At best, generally,

849
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 2: you still want to think about the bat in the

850
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: situational sense that you want to win the game with

851
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: this moment. So that's not like take daddy hacks, do

852
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: all that play the situation, but it seemed like Pete

853
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 2: was thinking about trying to be something else in that

854
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 2: moment rather than again being himself.

855
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one strike swing, I looked at HM. He's

856
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: trying to go to the right field. You can see

857
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: it from in per you can tell that he's trying

858
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: to hit the ball to right field. That's not who

859
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo.

860
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: Is fly swing. That's the base hitswing. Yeah, it's situation.

861
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. And like earlier in the game when he hit

862
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: the home run, Remember I was telling you, I was like,

863
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: pull the baseball, pull the baseball. He pulled it. Home run. Shocker.

864
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: Petere A Lonzo hit home runs when he pulls the baseball. Shocker,

865
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: you hit more home runs when you pull the baseball.

866
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: The opposite field approach is almost what single Handley killed

867
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: estoc Preds his entire major league baseball career. He started

868
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: pulling the baseball strictly, and what do you know, he's

869
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: an All Star caliber third baseman. But the nonsense by

870
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: Mike Sarball was so disgustingly fucking stupid. It was brain

871
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: dead me and you were the only, like one of

872
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: the few people that had that pretty much the exact

873
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: same view, maybe even a little bit worse than Mike

874
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: star Ball. And it was so Nolan Jones crashed into

875
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: the wall dole. He spun.

876
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: He didn't crash in though he's playing.

877
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: He's fun. He spun double clutch the baseball. He's also

878
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: that to cue. You're looking forward the third base coach.

879
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 2: You see if that ball takes one bounce in the

880
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: corner or if the outfielder hits the wall. That's in

881
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: all the sense, these are the things.

882
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: But even the spin, though, is such a longer it's

883
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: it's a long thing like him going because he throws

884
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: with his right hand. Him going towards the wall, you know,

885
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: he has to spin and throw that is longer than

886
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: a left handed thrower would have to make from the

887
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: right field. Like that's one thing to consider. He then

888
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: spin throws, double clutches, throws it into Carlos Santana, who's taking

889
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: the cup. Because Brian Roki has such a noodle alarm,

890
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: carl Santana also still has a noodlelarm. Not a good

891
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: arm either, one of the worst than baseball like thirtieth

892
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: percentile makes a bad throw, Carlos Santana has to leap, catch,

893
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: bobble it to gather just the baseball Tyrone Taylor while

894
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: the ball's in the air is around third base and

895
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: Mike Sarball is giving him a hard stop stop stop.

896
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't even deep down the line, star Ball. Star

897
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: Ball was standing almost even with third base, completely out

898
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: of position. As a coach, fucking horrible, horrible job, all

899
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: around by him. And the thing that pisses me off

900
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: the most is, while I totally agree with you philosophically,

901
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: Peter A, Lonzo has to get the job done too, right.

902
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: If you got two shots to get the run in

903
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: from third base, I totally can buy that. But they

904
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: pinch ran for Francisco Alvarez with Tyrone Taylor. If you're

905
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: gonna pinch run with who is your fastest player on

906
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: the bench, and then you're not gonna push them, You're

907
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: not gonna try and make anything happen. Why did you

908
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: pinch run Francisco Alvarez was going first to third on

909
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: that play, so what they did was nothing different with

910
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: a much faster runner in That to me is just

911
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: like fundamental fucking loser mentality. Nobody wants to be great,

912
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: and by nobody I mean Mike Sarbab but also this team.

913
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be great. There's just there's a lack

914
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: of wanting to take the game by the balls and

915
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: just fucking win. There's there's nothing, there's no juice, and

916
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: I that's why I agree with all the people who

917
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: say that there's no sense of urgency with his team

918
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: and at the absolute worst, right, perfect throw, perfect play,

919
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 1: Tyrone Taylor's out at home. Francisco Lindor is at third base.

920
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: You know he's making on the throw there. As soon

921
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: as see the throw, he's getting to third base. And

922
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: now I have Peede Alonzo up with a man on

923
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: third base again in a chance to win the baseball.

924
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: Game with two outs instead of one.

925
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, fucking put the ball in play then too again,

926
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: try it like get a hit. That's when Peter a

927
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: Lonzo could take a swing of trying to serve the

928
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: ball to right field, maybe just to put the ball

929
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: in play. But even then, be yourself when Peter a

930
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: lons hits the ball hard and he pulls the baseball

931
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: he gets hits, I don't know why he thinks he

932
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: has to go to right field to get a fucking single.

933
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: No, but in that moment again, it would have been

934
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: like please just a fly balls. That was like some

935
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 2: of the worst discourse we've had this whole season, which

936
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: was the freeze, frame, shadow s and y incredible production

937
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: as they always do, showing that split screen, even just

938
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 2: in the moment without knowing what would happen after the

939
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: split screen of Tyrone Taylor running as the play was happening,

940
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: and it's such an awkward play on a baseball field

941
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: for a first basement to make that run out because

942
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 2: that no one does that besides teams who have guys

943
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: like Brian Rookie who have some of the worst arms

944
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: in the league, where you're running so much as the

945
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: first basement to get that far out to spin and

946
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: make that throw. Carlsontana also being a right handed thrower,

947
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: he was going to have to grab that and then

948
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 2: pivot his whole body, which is why he woul end

949
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: up dropping that baseball. Tyrone Taylor would have scored with

950
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: that throw, But again, that's all hindsight twenty twenty Monday

951
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: and won a quarterback. It is just it's frustrating to

952
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: look back and being like that was a moment that

953
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: could have been like a huge step in the right direction,

954
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: be like a race of five run deficit. You've leave

955
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: the ballpark feeling good. These next two games go completely differently.

956
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: Honestly, if that happens, you guys in the stadium would

957
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: have seen this, but on TV, I'm sure you didn't.

958
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: The Mets were out of the dugout and were like

959
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: jumping up and down couldn't believe that Tyrone Taylor wasn't

960
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: said like everybody, everybody in the fucking planet wanted him sent.

961
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: And for everyone who's like, you can't send him there,

962
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have sent him. Congrats, Mets got a loss

963
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: because you decided to play like a little fucking loser

964
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: and not try and take a chance with the team

965
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: that again has struggled. His score it runs with runners

966
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: scoring position. If we want to bring it back to

967
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: my favorite conversation, they haven't droven any runs with guys

968
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: in running scoring position. What made you think they were

969
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: gonna do it?

970
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 5: Now?

971
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: Right now? We got to get back some voicemails because

972
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 2: we're forty minutes in and we have like fifty more

973
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: voicemails to get to. I don't think we're gonna get

974
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: to all of them, all right, so we're gonna keep

975
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: moving here. Then, Brandon, did you Brandon yet?

976
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: I was actually gonna I was gonna give him, give

977
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: him a little shine. So you want to play it

978
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: or me?

979
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 2: I got Brandon. Here comes next voicemail from Brandon, Hey,

980
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: Mark and James.

981
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 11: Obviously we're all down, but I have no fucking answers anymore.

982
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 11: You know, you change the lineup, doesn't make a difference.

983
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 5: The Mets shit their.

984
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 11: Pigs when things go wrong. They don't know how to react.

985
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 5: It's when they go down they.

986
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 11: Forget how to play baseball. I have no idea, but

987
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 11: I'm with you, Chavis has to go. Their approach is

988
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 11: so bad. What do we do from here? You know,

989
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 11: doc to score runs?

990
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 2: I'm over this. Sometimes it's just frustrating.

991
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 5: I was at the game Tuesday. It was pathetic. You know,

992
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 5: Monday night.

993
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 11: You know it could have been a great comeback.

994
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: Baty has to make a better play there, but you

995
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: have to get a hit with the bases loaded.

996
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 8: Anyway.

997
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 11: I hope you have a great.

998
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: Day, James.

999
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 11: By the way, I'm gluten free.

1000
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 5: Also, it sucks.

1001
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: Shout out Brandon Brandon. I feel like he had a

1002
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 2: joker moment because he was always a very positive fan

1003
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 2: and now he's been I'd be like, I've been seeing

1004
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 2: him on Twitter now I'm on Instagram like he's getting mad,

1005
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 2: and I think that really echoes how a lot of

1006
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: these Mets fans are feeling. And the Tuesday game was awful.

1007
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: The fact that wet there was a point between it

1008
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: was the fifth inninge Tuesday or the fourth day, I

1009
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: can't remember exactly. And until the WANs so the home

1010
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 2: run on Wednesday, it's like twelve consecutive no hit innings

1011
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 2: that doesn't even make sense, Like you know, the Guardian's

1012
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: bullpen's good, but like Kobe Allers strowing eighty nine mile

1013
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: an hour sinkers Like it's.

1014
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: Like Kobe Colby allart sucks.

1015
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I guess what I'm saying. There has to

1016
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: be a hit somewhere there mixed in. And it was

1017
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 2: so funny that I thought Carlos Modoe was a pull

1018
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes the perfect time. I thought Clay Holmes had

1019
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 2: a good start, given what Clay Holmes is right now.

1020
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: We saw Clay Holmes last week look beleaguered, and that

1021
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 2: started against the Padres. In the first pitch of the game.

1022
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 2: The guy was gassed. He was dead. And I literally

1023
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: told you leaving the stadium on Monday, I was like,

1024
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: I guarantee you a good play homes starts tomorrow, and

1025
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: you're like, wow, I was like six five days rest

1026
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: pitching on the sixth day, I know he's going to

1027
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: have a good start. A lot of these Mets situations

1028
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: could be alleviated a bit, even though the starting pitching

1029
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 2: is like the ninth biggest problem right now, the tenth

1030
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 2: biggest problem, because the ninth problems first nine problems are

1031
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: once they're nine batting order. But just these guys are

1032
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: a lot better with that extra day of rest. So

1033
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: I think that is something that's funny to keep an

1034
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: eye on. As Brandon Sburd has some pitching really.

1035
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: Want to play, Yeah, if you want, if we want

1036
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: to talk about pitching, but we know the problem is hitting,

1037
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump to Joe Vasquez. There was like seven

1038
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: others that I'm gonna be honest, guys, like a minute

1039
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: forty five is tough. I don't I don't know if

1040
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: I can give you a minute forty five. I love

1041
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: I love you guys sending messages, but I do prefer

1042
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: the ones are like twenty eight seconds. So i've I'm

1043
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: gonna give Joe a little shine. Here shout Joe Vsquez.

1044
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: Here we go so quiet, so quiet. I don't know

1045
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: what he's talking. I think I think, Okay, we lost Joe. Joe. Unfortunately,

1046
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: you talk crazy.

1047
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 2: I think we lose Joe. I think we lost Joe

1048
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: over here.

1049
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say he sent me a text on

1050
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: the reply to the story says, bro I hate that

1051
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: this team plays with no fucking balls. It starts with

1052
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: Lindor every fucking play has a smile on his face.

1053
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: As the captain, he should be leading this team with

1054
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: some grit, some heart, some attitudes, some fucking balls. And

1055
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: I will say this, I told James, I'm gonna call

1056
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: it the indoor out. He has to be a leader.

1057
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: He has to be better. He's a guy who, for

1058
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: the longest time we know is not a raw, raw guy.

1059
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: And that's fine, not everybody is. He's been a lead

1060
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: by example, the example he's been playing with, whether there's

1061
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: injury concerns or not, he's he's been leading like shit.

1062
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: So he's got to play better.

1063
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you this. At the same time, he

1064
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: should have had the walk off hit on Monday, of course, Yeah,

1065
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 2: well yeah, Mark, if Mike Sarball had yeah.

1066
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: So I'm saying, like Joe Masqus was talking about, because

1067
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: like even.

1068
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 2: When you were having these conversations, those conversations were pervasive

1069
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: on Twitter after the game on Monday, just because there

1070
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: was that play in the tenth where Baby on the

1071
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: sack bunt probably should have gone to first, but side

1072
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: to try and make the hero play and go the

1073
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: second still had the runner if he made a good throw.

1074
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 2: Wasn't a great throw, It also wasn't a terrible throw.

1075
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: Looked like it clanked off Lindor's glove. Definitely catchable ball.

1076
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 2: That was the conversation. But he had to walk off hit,

1077
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: And I think that's the kind of thing where this

1078
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 2: comes back to, Like you mentioned, leaving the walk off

1079
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 2: hit was kind of taken away from you by the

1080
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 2: third base coach inadvertently. That plays into your mind the

1081
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 2: next inning. But you can't take you can't take a

1082
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: play like that into the field with You can't, especially

1083
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: when you're like a platinum glove glide like Francisco Londor is.

1084
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 2: But I got the next one from Sam over here

1085
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: thirty six seconds from Sam Love that.

1086
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 8: The podcast just wanted to ask, how long do you

1087
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 8: think this Met's team is going to go with being

1088
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,240
Speaker 8: this terrible at the play? Like at the beginning of season,

1089
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 8: they were getting it, They were getting a good deal

1090
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 8: of the wins because they're starting pitching was amazing.

1091
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 5: But this stretch has just.

1092
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 8: Been horrible and they can't even get on base anymore,

1093
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 8: no hits, no walks, and the extra base hits thing

1094
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 8: is really concerning. Just want to ask you, guys, do

1095
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 8: you think this is a slump? Do you just think

1096
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 8: this team is just terrible?

1097
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: The podcast, I got it, I got a bad I

1098
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: got a bad thing to say. They might just suck.

1099
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: I think I think there's I think there's a non

1100
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: zero chance that this offense just stinks and that unless like,

1101
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: and that's what the current version of Lindor, that's what

1102
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: the current version of Linzo, that's what with the version

1103
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: that we've seen for the last two months, right like,

1104
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: they've been bad. The numbers we read out to you

1105
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: without Wansto are pretty pretty shocking. It's crazy how much

1106
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: he does impact this offense, Like ten points of on

1107
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: base percenta just kind of insane to think about that

1108
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: he has that impact. That's how good Wan Soto is.

1109
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: Over three percentage points of barrel rate.

1110
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's that's freakish, the impact he makes on

1111
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: this team. It is also concerning to the quality of

1112
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: players on this team, not just Lindora Alonso, but also

1113
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 1: everybody else behind them not doing their job. It's also

1114
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: a little bit on the front office for maybe not

1115
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,479
Speaker 1: having as legitim a roster as we thought they.

1116
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: Did, I guess. But then like going into the season,

1117
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 2: we seeing put the front office built of again like

1118
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: Lindor Nemo Alonso flanking Wansda, We're like, no matter what,

1119
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 2: no matter what, based on the regular average outputs of

1120
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 2: all of these guys, that's the top five offense in

1121
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 2: the league, and everything else kind of became gravy.

1122
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: Maybe a little too much faith in Mark Vientos, right,

1123
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: like they pulled.

1124
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: The plug of Mark Vento's not in totality, But that

1125
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 2: also comes back to Mendoza because we also know, in

1126
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 2: terms of the way the most front office and coaching

1127
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 2: stats work in this league, the Mets give relatively more

1128
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: autonomy to Mendoza than most other front offices give their manager.

1129
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: So that's part of it as well. And also that

1130
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: is I think that there's a lot of things Carls

1131
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: Mendoza does well. I thinks good Man thinks he doesn't

1132
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 2: do well. He is a player's manager. He rides with

1133
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 2: the guys, and when you have as much success as

1134
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 2: the Mets, specifically Mendoz and Mark Vantis had last year,

1135
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: it's hard to flip the switch in the other direction quickly,

1136
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: and a lot of you guys listening right now, because

1137
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 2: we do have a very divisive split in the Mets

1138
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: community of listeners to the show who are like, you

1139
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: have to get Mark vantis going and Mark Fanti is

1140
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 2: not major League baseball player. We saw it all through

1141
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: the conversations happening around the trade deadline. So even being

1142
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: from the inside of that, that does seem like just

1143
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 2: a crazy It's just that it's a it's a very

1144
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: strange decision to make Dane and Day, and we see

1145
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: how badly Carss Medoza specifically wants to get Mark Fantis

1146
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 2: going and Mark Fanzo's while he yes, he has hit

1147
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 2: better for two weeks now, So I'm not gonna I'm

1148
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: not gonna disparage that. That's kind of a thing that's

1149
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: going back and forth. And I do want to give

1150
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: credit to our favorite reporter, the old moon faced Steve Gelbs.

1151
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 2: He he opened the press availability for Mendoza today saying,

1152
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 2: like we've had these conversations, they should be better, they

1153
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: should be better for months. It's August. He said, where

1154
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 2: does that leave us? And then Mendoza still gave him

1155
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 2: the can we know we're better, we should be better.

1156
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: But I think that finally I was. It's been very

1157
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 2: it's been a very fair time to ask that question.

1158
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: And I'll ask you this. Mark Vianz has been better

1159
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, right, mm hmm. I want

1160
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: to I want to know what his ops is over

1161
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: the last fifteen.

1162
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 2: Games, seven thirty.

1163
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: Six forty five stop six forty five. He's in fifty

1164
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: five though, he's getting his singles. There you go, he's

1165
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: getting his singles. Eric Shaves is pumped you. How many

1166
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: walks he has in his last fifteen games? How many one?

1167
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: You want to know how many walks he has in

1168
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,959
Speaker 1: his last thirty games? How many one? Oh? No, Yeah,

1169
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: Mark Fiento's right now is running like a sub one

1170
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: percent walk rate over the last month.

1171
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 2: It's really bad.

1172
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: It's really fucking bad. I don't I don't give a

1173
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: shit what his average is.

1174
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 2: Did you do the third the second voicemail from Andrew?

1175
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: Did I do that?

1176
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: He's got there, he's got the Garfield pro pickn't I

1177
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: didn't click Garfield.

1178
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go.

1179
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: This one came in at two forty four, so nice.

1180
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: Got Andrew minutes after you boasted the story.

1181
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 12: So you have a team you just patched every hole

1182
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 12: in your bullpen, which was arguably your biggest weak point.

1183
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 12: You have one of the better rotations in the National League.

1184
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 12: If you have nothing but spoils of talent on the.

1185
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 13: Hitting side and you can't piece it together, what is

1186
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 13: the magic pixie dust that this team needs to put

1187
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 13: it all together? Because on paper, there's nothing wrong other

1188
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 13: than these star hitters can't get hits when.

1189
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 5: It actually matters. What needs to change. I'm not a loss.

1190
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: That's that's where I think our numbers do come in.

1191
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: I actually think on paper, there is something very wrong

1192
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: with this team. They don't barrel up the baseball. They

1193
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: don't get on base the quality of contacts poor outside

1194
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: of wan So too. And I bet you if you

1195
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: took if you took out Pete Alonso too, which again,

1196
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: now we're really now we're.

1197
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 2: If you take the best you hitters off, any team

1198
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 2: come in the best.

1199
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: But then there's but then there's seven guys in the

1200
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: lineup that are sure really bad, really bad, like worse

1201
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: up hirates bad.

1202
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: I think that again, I think that would be a

1203
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 2: bridge too far. Stisically, I think that that would prove it,

1204
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: that would prove it's nothing, but it is. It is

1205
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 2: so ironic that we've plugged up this bullpen. We just

1206
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 2: can't use them.

1207
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: No, there's they're useless.

1208
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 2: There's no moment for these guys. And even like the

1209
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: times that Helsing and Rodgers come in this series, Hellsley,

1210
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 2: it's it's a bunch that the ball is thrown to

1211
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 2: the outfield and he winds up giving up two runs

1212
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: in the extra innings, and then Tyler Rodgers is blue

1213
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: blue walk and it's just like that's how you lose

1214
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: the game on not lose the game, but that is

1215
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 2: how in the moment they lost the game on Tuesday night.

1216
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: It's just it's painful the way that it's going back

1217
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 2: and forth round how this team is playing still with

1218
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 2: the thing holding us that we got got you got

1219
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 2: like you got fifty games left here for the af

1220
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 2: think exactly, so it's like forty forty seven. So there's

1221
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 2: there's a moment. You got something by I think we're

1222
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 2: gonna do voicemails. I think we're gonna do three.

1223
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read out the names of the last three

1224
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 1: because they're just a little bit shorter and we're coming

1225
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: up on time.

1226
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 11: Here.

1227
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: We got Papa Peppe, Chris, Ja, Kariko, Willy Deutsch, and

1228
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: then of course Frankie Pepper's will be the last voicemail

1229
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: that we listened to.

1230
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 2: I wonder if if frank you think frank He's had

1231
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 2: us a regular Frank or a voicemail.

1232
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: That's a good question.

1233
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

1234
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess we'll find out. But regardless,

1235
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: Frankie Pepper will be the last. Frankie Pepper's will be

1236
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: the last voice you hear shout Frankie Peppers. All right,

1237
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: it's coming from Papa Pepe. Let's see what he's got

1238
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 1: for us.

1239
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1240
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 14: I don't know if it's too late to leave a message,

1241
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 14: but I just want to say I kind of wish

1242
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 14: that the Mets would have.

1243
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 5: Got no hit today.

1244
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 6: Maybe that would have sparked him to like turn it

1245
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 6: around on some m I don't know, hopefully at least,

1246
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 6: uh when you getting that one hit make a difference.

1247
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 5: Let's go Mets.

1248
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was rooted for the no hitter.

1249
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: I tweeted out. I was like, I'm root for the

1250
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: no hitter. Maybe just gets their shot is fired.

1251
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a we got Willie seven seconds from

1252
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: a guy, Willy Deutsch.

1253
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: I hope it's just screaming.

1254
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 2: There we go.

1255
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 8: Time to fire shot as allsound.

1256
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 3: If your results are this horrible, this long, eventually your

1257
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 3: process sucks.

1258
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. That's that's where we've gotten to at

1259
00:51:58,920 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 2: this point.

1260
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Christian Kerrico, last one before Frankie Pepper's

1261
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: here we go. What's up?

1262
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: Guys?

1263
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 8: Listen?

1264
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 14: This team is unwatchable right now. I don't understand what

1265
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 14: their problem is. I don't get it. Ever since you know,

1266
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 14: the Gay Mets of twenty twenty five, they have been

1267
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 14: losing baseball. Last year they were winning from that point on,

1268
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 14: So I don't understand why. I don't know what's going on.

1269
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 14: They need a spark plug of some kind. This lineup

1270
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 14: is better. We keep saying it's better than it.

1271
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 5: Is, but it's not.

1272
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 14: We're watching like you guys keep saying the twenty twenty

1273
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 14: four Phillies all over again good at the beginning of

1274
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 14: the year and just been awful awful since since June.

1275
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 14: So I don't know what needs to happen here. We

1276
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 14: need a spark plug of some kind. But this is

1277
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 14: very painful. This got to be rock bottom man. One

1278
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 14: hit today after this series against the Guardians. Disgusting, disgusting,

1279
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 14: hard to watch baseball.

1280
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 5: So hopefully something changes.

1281
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 14: Call up one of these kids, get McClean up here,

1282
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 14: gets brought up here. I don't care. We didn't trade

1283
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 14: for a start. We need to starter up here to

1284
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 14: do something. I know it's the hitting, but we need

1285
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 14: a spark plug. All right, let's fucking go Mets.

1286
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: I actually think one Chris actually well articulated. That was

1287
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: one of the best voice measures we got, and good

1288
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: I think. I think that's where we can kind of

1289
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: spin this now to what we're moving forward with is

1290
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: how do the Mets get out of this right? How

1291
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: do the Mets move forward? How do we make these

1292
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: next fifty games actually matter and show that this is

1293
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: a capable team that can make a run the.

1294
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 2: Plaoffs, make the playoffs.

1295
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: That's a legitimate thing that Mets have to worry about now,

1296
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: is making the playoffs.

1297
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: I think there's a real conversation about the spark plug

1298
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 2: element of this, because I think that's it's true because

1299
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 2: there's no there's no spark left on the offense unless

1300
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 2: unless David Stern just wants to go Dumby and just

1301
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 2: put cars in bedg on this team. A spark plug, Yeah,

1302
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 2: that could be a spark plug. That's also I just

1303
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 2: think that's a dog. That's just not what that's not

1304
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: definitely I don't take something he would do. Also, while

1305
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: we have you guys here, we're going to another episode

1306
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 2: this week, Mark and I were kind of in between

1307
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 2: two options, either rehashing our top ten prospects in the

1308
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 2: system after the trade deadline, or if you guys might

1309
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 2: get crazy with us redoing the trade deadline and out

1310
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 2: of the park baseball and then simming the rest of

1311
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 2: the season see if we can win the World Series.

1312
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 2: So those are two options for an episode that will

1313
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 2: probably come out for you guys on Saturday. So whatever,

1314
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 2: get more YouTube comments or YouTube comment that gets more

1315
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: likes from those two options, you guys let us know

1316
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 2: down below, And that's the episode we're going to record

1317
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 2: either Thursday or Friday. We'll see that, but it probably

1318
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 2: is time they just have to. But we still have

1319
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 2: kept keep talking about the fact that there's not really

1320
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: actual space. I think if Frankie Montas, I guess we'll

1321
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 2: just tele transition to the to the Brewers series preview here.

1322
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 2: If Frankie Monta shows up on Saturday evening and just

1323
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 2: gets lit up again, he's probably going to go in

1324
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 2: the phantom a l. I think that's where we can

1325
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 2: pretty confidently say.

1326
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: That, I mean, is that time for the Draft Kings

1327
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: Player spotlight for Frankie Monts.

1328
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 2: You want to do it the frank just push it

1329
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 2: on Frankie Montis. But were going all in over fourteen

1330
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 2: and a half outs.

1331
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: Draft Kings Player Spotlight Frankie Montas.

1332
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 2: Here we go. It's kind of put up a show

1333
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 2: up time for Frankie Montas, and we've been I think

1334
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 2: the like them, like the only Frankie Montsis defend their

1335
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: left I I think he's just not awful. I think

1336
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 2: that he's being scapegoaded for a rotation that really at

1337
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 2: the end of the day, and I keep saying this

1338
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 2: like it's it's to me, it's a lot more about

1339
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 2: Sanka and me and I a right now and a

1340
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 2: tiny bit Peerson on Wednesday. But I'm not blaming Dave

1341
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 2: Pieceer for really anything this year. It's just those were

1342
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 2: the guys who knew had to be the Big three,

1343
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 2: Like in the Biggest Air quats. Ever like a big

1344
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 2: three to be like the most big three we could

1345
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 2: have because they all are pretty good pitchers. Then it

1346
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 2: was really just by Mantas and Homes to kind of

1347
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 2: soak up the back end and give us the splash

1348
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 2: stars and just get us through five, hopefully six once

1349
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 2: in a while. But I think Franky Montis gets through

1350
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 2: five innings two runs on Saturday. I'll tell you that

1351
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 2: right now. That's my bull prediction.

1352
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would take a look at the

1353
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: outs recorded see how low it gets. I think it's

1354
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: going to be pretty low. Frankie Montos hasn't kind of

1355
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,959
Speaker 1: five innings in his last two starts, so we're looking

1356
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: at a total of eight and a third over his

1357
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: last two appearances, which is pretty bad. He's only pitched

1358
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: up to like ninety two pitches over the last few games.

1359
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: I mean, the sinate cynical person in me is like

1360
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: take the underd I feel like there's no shot that

1361
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: Frankie Montes goes more than five innings. It doesn't seem

1362
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: like that's really in the realm of possibility. Right, got

1363
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: a zig when they zag, But that's exactly he got

1364
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 1: a zig when they zag. So We'll be taking the

1365
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: over on Frankie Mont's house because, like you said, he

1366
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: almost has to. There's kind of no other option kind of.

1367
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 2: But also he does have a contract for next year,

1368
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 2: so there's another option because he will be fine at

1369
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 2: the end of the day. But it is a situation

1370
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 2: where these these athletes have so much pride and Frankie

1371
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 2: Montas has had moments where he's flashed at least being

1372
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 2: a passable three starter for a good chunk of his career.

1373
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 2: And it did seem like he had a good start

1374
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 2: against that Angels team that in that game two weeks ago,

1375
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 2: and then that Padres game it was four good innings

1376
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: before a complete mental breakdown, and then the following up

1377
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: of a mental breakdown that game against the Giants who

1378
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 2: gave up the home run and then the mess made

1379
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 2: a couple of mistakes on the infield and then the

1380
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: wheels spun out. So this is about Frankie Montas focusing

1381
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: himself back up and getting himself into a situation where

1382
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 2: he can just mentally get himself to restart because frankly,

1383
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 2: the team, the team needs it. Yeah, it's it's just

1384
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 2: I hate to be the ESPN guys, but it's time

1385
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 2: to step up.

1386
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,479
Speaker 1: It's time to be that guy. Frankie Montas. But yeah,

1387

Speaker 2: Just take us through a night there for a Friday game.

Speaker 2: seven ten weird having eight and seven back to back

1403
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 2: in the same series. Frankie Mantas versus Logan Henderson. I'm

1404
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 2: excited to talk about and then Sunday mattin a two

1405
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 2: PM Sean and I have versus Quinn Priest. We hope

1406
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 2: that's an asof yeah, so.

1407
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,439
Speaker 1: Uh opposite of the Mets. The Brewers get on base,

1408
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: they get it. They have the third highest on base

1409
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: percentage of baseball at three twenty nine, even with WANSO,

1410
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: that is significantly better than the Mets. They don't slug better,

1411
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: we know that, but their OPS is still better than

1412
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: the Mets, or it's right around there, seven to twenty five.

1413
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: They get hits, they get on base, they play good defense,

1414
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: they run, they pitch well. It's a very good baseball team.

1415
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 2: Now the Brewis are the Bruises, aren't contructed in a

1416
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 2: hilarious way where right now they're having the best season

1417
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 2: franchise history. This is the quickest as a team they've

1418
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 2: ever gotten to to seventy wins. And also from op

1419
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: to stats today, the Brewers are the first team in

1420
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 2: MLB history to have a road trip of any length

1421
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 2: where they scored fifty plus runs, didn't lose a game,

1422
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 2: and didn't commit an error. So they're coming home after

1423
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:42,919
Speaker 2: doing that.

1424
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: Cool, cool, Yeah, that sounds really good for the Mets,

1425
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: which is really fun.

1426
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 2: And again like that even a big wee zag again.

1427
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 2: First team to seventy in baseball quickest they've been to

1428
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 2: seventy in franchise history. And when you look at this lineup,

1429
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna be like, what are you talking about? Because

1430
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 2: it's it's South Freelick, It's Isaac Collins, It's Andrew Vaughan,

1431
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 2: It's Blake Perkins, Bryce Terrag, they got someone named Anthony

1432
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 2: Siegler playing star bass.

1433
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: Joey or Er Yankee's prospect.

1434
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 2: Okay, also Caleb Derbin, former Yankees prospect, Brandon Lockridge, the

1435
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 2: guy we've made fun of a lot from the padres

1436
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 2: on this team, like it's it's a line.

1437
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: Of motostereo still kicking it up there in the majors.

1438
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 2: Oh and tremona serius utilian fielder on the bench NonStop.

1439
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 2: Of course, Danny Jansen, much belign Danny Jansen, the back

1440
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 2: will catcher. It's a it's an absolute who's who of

1441
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 2: nonsense baseball players that the Brewers have just turned into

1442
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 2: an absolutely scalding, stupid hot lineup right now.

1443
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: And similarly to a lot of teams that we played recently.

1444
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: If the Mets don't score runs early in this game,

1445
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: they will not win because this bullpen is one of

1446
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: the best in baseball. Trevor McGill probably one of the

1447
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: most underrated pitchers in baseball. When that guy's good and going,

1448
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: he's unbelievable. He's so good, he's the better McGill. Unfortunately

1449
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: for US Mets fans.

1450
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 2: Trevor McGill also he had a really rough start to

1451
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: a season. If you guys remember there were some murmurs

1452
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 2: about him being taken out of the closer role. There

1453
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 2: was some issues just with him. Remember that Yankee series

1454
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 2: also Bruce, he played like this team is falling apart.

1455
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 2: Trevor McGill has given up almost no runs since like

1456
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 2: the middle of April. His era is about to be

1457
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 2: under two and it on where we're at right now.

1458
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 2: It was a three run, six eight game on April twelfth.

1459
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 2: It was another run he gave up. In April twenty six,

1460
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 2: it was another run he gave up on it. On

1461
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 2: May It's oh wow, it was June Wow. He's giving

1462
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 2: up like nothing. This guy's unbelievable. This guy's so damn good,

1463
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 2: but he's he's also when you get to the back

1464
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: of the bullpen, it's also a demon Avenue Rebey. One

1465
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 2: of Mark and I's favorites, Jared Koenigs the left. You

1466
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 2: just throws one hundred miles an how r now because

1467
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 2: bros just do that every few years. Nick mears Aaron

1468
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Ashby's coming back like it's just they they've just relentless

1469
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 2: back there.

1470
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're really good and uh. On the starting

1471
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: pitching side, Brandon Woodruff coming back from injury has been

1472
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable, pretty ridiculously good.

1473
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 2: So much credit to Brandon Woodriff where it's due. He's

1474
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,959
Speaker 2: coming back from a really serious shoulder injury, the capsule tear,

1475
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 2: which is the thing that Koda Sanga strained a few

1476
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 2: years ago, which is why they were so careful with

1477
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 2: Kodes Sang in the last year. They were so careful

1478
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 2: Kolle Sanga. Last year. Woodriff has lost like four miles

1479
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 2: an how lost the board and he's probably never getting

1480
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 2: those four miles an hour's back. So as he was rehabbing,

1481
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: he just developed a color and now he's just like

1482
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 2: a field guy, change up fast, fastball, sinker color, just

1483
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 2: kind of mixing it all up around the zone.

1484
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: Also still striking out more people than like he ever has.

1485
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: He's doing it though by working low in his zone.

1486
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: He used to be a high in his zone guy.

1487
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 2: Like he used to be like the ball dog mean

1488
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 2: Brandon Woodrif used to like h like mean, mug you

1489
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,439
Speaker 2: and throw ninety nine miles an hour at your face

1490
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 2: and like and like try to hit it. I dare you.

1491
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 2: But now he's just he's different, and it's just so

1492
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 2: much credit to a professional like that. Again, he just

1493
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 2: he just developed his color after there. He did not

1494
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 2: have a color before. And as he's lost all this

1495
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: VLO and this stuff, he's like, I need to get

1496
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 2: this color back. And then all the pictures this year

1497
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 2: is are interesting. Logan Henderson he has like a thirty

1498
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 2: percent strike up rate and a cup of coffee this

1499
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 2: year in like a one five VR right, But the

1500
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Brewers have so many starting pitchers, they're like, we got

1501
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 2: no space. Now he's back up because Jacobszraski, he need

1502
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 2: a two week break so we could have enough innings

1503
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 2: to pitch in the playoffs. He's it. They said, he's

1504
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 2: going the ale with a shin. Bruce jacob Ezraski, Yeah, would.

1505
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Would you bump his leg on his bed walking around

1506
01:01:59,040 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: the corner.

1507
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 2: I mean he is like he is like this then,

1508
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 2: so I guess that could actually really bruising badly like Meszarowski.

1509
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 2: But it's just see the Bruce just storing a guy

1510
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 2: like Henderson in the minor leagues like this, just come

1511
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: back up and give him a few weeks it starts.

1512
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 2: Is incredible. Then Quinn Priester come out of nowhere this

1513
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 2: year with some of the best ads in the National League.

1514
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 2: He's like this year's Tobias Myers where it's just so

1515
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 2: much a use them.

1516
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox straight him away or with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yeah,

1517
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: either of them have actually been pitching kind of well

1518
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: starting pitcher wise, But I don't think when Priester does

1519
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: this with team that's not the Bruce because they are

1520
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: so good with this archaetype of pitcher just let's let's

1521
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: just junk your way to being like a two five

1522
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: r first season.

1523
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 2: The next year you might suck, but in the season

1524
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 2: you're in, you're dominant.

1525
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Fun fact about Quinn Priester as the highest win loss

1526
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: percentage in Major League Baseball. He's eleven and two.

1527
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 2: It's incredible. And then because the Brewers always seem to

1528
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 2: do this. Isaac Collins. You hipped Isaac Collins right now.

1529
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Well, he's a he's a switch hitter right and from

1530
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: one side he hits for power and from the other

1531
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: side he's like a slap hitting on base machine.

1532
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 2: His I mean, I'm sure a lot of Mets fans

1533
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 2: are remembering that name, Isaac Collins. You're like, oh my god,

1534
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Isaac Collins. He has coming out in that game against

1535
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 2: the Mets that we blew in that day game against

1536
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 2: Rie Garrett. But yeah, it's a seventy four mile and

1537
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 2: iver swings speed from the right side seventy two from

1538
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 2: the left side, so still above average from both, but

1539
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 2: it's many more fast swings and it's a much longer

1540
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 2: swing from the right versa left. But overall it's come

1541
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 2: out to an eight hundred ops and like really good.

1542
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 2: And he never chases from either side. He knows when

1543
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 2: the pitchers are coming in. So it's a He's a

1544
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 2: twenty eight year old ninth round pick from Cretan and

1545
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 2: he's just been a plus player all year, sent third

1546
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 2: for the most days. Now it's like a really sneaky

1547
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year pick.

1548
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: Right now he's.

1549
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 2: Sneakily actually probably is the favorite the National League. If

1550
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 2: you look at the rookies nationally at this moment. Let's see,

1551
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 2: let's witch sure what DraftKings got. We'll give him another

1552
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 2: little shower here. I look up the DraftKings Rookie of

1553
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 2: the Year odds. You can keep talking about the Brewers

1554
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 2: if you got anything else. It's just I get this

1555
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 2: team is just relentless, like and you're going to be

1556
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 2: so annoyed, like luckily more playing than now me.

1557
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: Isaac Collins is plus two thirty five right now. Drake

1558
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Baldwin is still the favorite, but that's some pretty good

1559
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: value on Isaac Collins there plus two thirty five.

1560
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 2: That's pretty good, especially because he I'm sure he's gonna

1561
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: have a higher war and Lorky the Year has become

1562
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 2: a bit of a war award the last few years.

1563
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Nice that it's gonna be a cool strength first ranks

1564
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 2: matchup because the Mets are still it's hard to talk

1565
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 2: abut Mets strengths right now, one of the best teams

1566
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 2: in the league in limiting stolen bases. The Brewers run

1567
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 2: like No Bay's fucking business, and it's a good moment

1568
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 2: to talk about something we've talked about with Francis Goldndor

1569
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 2: playing through this broken toe and not being there William Contreras.

1570
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 2: You look at his stats this year, they objectively suck,

1571
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 2: but he fractured his thumb early this season. He was like,

1572
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm just going to play through and

1573
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 2: I'm the catcher, like I'm the man. So he's had

1574
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 2: a bad season statistically, but what's happened the last few weeks.

1575
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 2: It seems like it's healed because he's raised the ops

1576
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 2: like seventy points in about three weeks of baseball, including

1577
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 2: a game last Friday where he went five for seven

1578
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 2: and became the first player in the stackcast era. Now,

1579
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 2: I'm just going to go out and let me say,

1580
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 2: the first player in the history of baseball to have

1581
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 2: six batted balls that were hit harder than one hundred

1582
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 2: four miles. No, howur in the same game.

1583
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: I think you'd be pretty safe in saying that he's

1584
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: the first. I was.

1585
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 2: I was covering it for him sports. I was like,

1586
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,439
Speaker 2: holy shit. I was like, no one's ever done this before.

1587
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh wow, no one's ever done

1588
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 2: this before. It was it was awesome, and William Cheri

1589
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 2: is probably the first player in baseball history to have

1590
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 2: six bat the balls to hard than a hundred one

1591
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 2: power in the same game.

1592
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: Good baseball team, maybe one of the best in the

1593
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: league playing like it, that's for sure. I mean, top

1594
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: to bottom, this is a clean, solid, fundamental team. Pat

1595
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Murphy has really got these guys playing well. Great manager shot.

1596
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Pat Murphy also just a good vibes guy too, a

1597
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: lee vibes He's I think he keeps a pancake in

1598
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: his pocket.

1599
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 2: I saw a clip of that, So he's got these

1600
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 2: guys pancakes on the go.

1601
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: As many vibes the Brewers have the Mets have none.

1602
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: But hey, we come out of the playoffs last year

1603
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: in that stadium in Milwaukee. Maybe it sparked something for them.

1604
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 2: And I think we're still the last team to beat

1605
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 2: them in a three game series, not even kidding about that,

1606
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 2: the series that we beat them into the field. But

1607
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 2: we had that one completely dramatic, horrible loss. Double checking

1608
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 2: right now, Oh, actually no, it's just us and the Marlins.

1609
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: Don't let the Marlins get hot, not James Marlins right there, literally.

1610
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 2: James Maleins. I told you, guys, in males like I'm

1611
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 2: worried about Francesc Lindor and I think the Marlins are

1612
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 2: actually really good baseball team. He fucking nailed us take somehow.

1613
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 2: But there's been a long ass episode. Thank you guys

1614

1629
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,920

Speaker 5: go Mets. Take care as always, boys.

1647
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Big shout out Frankie Peppers. We did get to spend

1648
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: some time time with him at a rep Us cafe

1649
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: in Astoria. If you like a Repus, if you like

1650
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: Venezuelan food, this is a declaration a vouch you gotta

1651
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 1: eat there. We got Venezuela and friends. Friends they swear

1652
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: by and the food will put you in a coma.

1653
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: It's absolutely delicious, so if you're in a story a

1654
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: repus cafe. Also, we didn't get to rant about after

1655
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: the game, James, real quick shout Frankie Peppers drove us there,

1656
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: shout out having a car. But what was the whole

1657
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: reason why we need to ride there, James? What was

1658
01:07:58,360 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: going on after the game? What was there a lot?

1659
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 2: So after this game, we were just with some friends

1660
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 2: of the park and we were just dying to get

1661
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 2: shout out before shout out before shout out Jake, shoutout Isaac.

1662
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 2: We were just dying to have a beer because we

1663
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 2: know there's going not gonna be super express trains during

1664
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 2: the day game. So we're like, we just want to

1665
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 2: let the crowds dissipate, just want to have one bruskie

1666
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 2: by the ballpark and then be on a road, get

1667
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:19,560
Speaker 2: some dinner and then go home with a podcast and

1668
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 2: I can work and all this stuff. The two bars

1669
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 2: that the Mets have that both leave so much to

1670
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 2: be desired were closed.

1671
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kke Corner closed pre and postgame. Apparently it's only

1672
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Fridays and Saturdays and Sunday. It's only the weekends. It

1673
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: was saying that like after the game you can go there,

1674
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,759
Speaker 1: which is crazy, just losing money, just losing money, absolutely

1675
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: pissing away money, which is crazy. And then Ebbs, which

1676
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what their deal is. I

1677
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: don't think it's been open at all this year. I

1678
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: feel like I haven't seen Ebbs open at all. What's

1679
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,799
Speaker 1: going on? Like, how is this even possible?

1680
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 2: And then at the same time, it's just like it's

1681
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 2: it's really a great It just feels so easy to

1682
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 2: do this, just have have the bar and get the

1683
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 2: people there because we just it's we're there one to

1684
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 2: do it. And especially after these day games, it's such

1685
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 2: a mess getting out of there because if you drive

1686
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 2: to the day games, you get trapped in rush hour.

1687
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 2: If you take the train from the day games, all

1688
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 2: of the trains, the seven trains, which this is not

1689
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 2: something we're complaining about, but they're all Manhattan taking everyone

1690
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 2: from Manhattan back to Queens after work. So it's just

1691
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 2: it's like it's like it's like getting out of the

1692
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 2: music festival to get onto a seven line train after

1693
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 2: that game, unless you rush out of your season get there.

1694
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 2: So it would have been a great day to have

1695
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 2: those bars open. Everyone can spend forty five minutes, an hour,

1696
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 2: hour and a half, two or three beers. What everyone

1697
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 2: do with you with your night, your evening? There water,

1698
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 2: drink some water, anything, have have a couple some French fries,

1699
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 2: a pretzel like just any fry. Any place for the

1700
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 2: Mets fans to hang out after that game and let

1701
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 2: those crowds dissipate would have been great. And there's also

1702
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 2: one more thing I want to talk about that happened

1703
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 2: this game, that's been happening at to the field this week.

1704
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 2: We've talked about a lot in this podcast over the years.

1705
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 2: There's been a dog that has been or I'm sure

1706
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 2: a few dogs that have been trapped sitting there just

1707
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 2: making money for some grift or some jerk off. Fuck

1708
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 2: that guy, some asshole in front of that state mess

1709
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 2: up declaration.

1710
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: Fuck that guy.

1711
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely The messed Up is the first proud pro dog

1712
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 2: Mets podcast on the internet. But there's been a brave

1713
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 2: guy over there, so I've been following up with him

1714
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 2: on Reddit. His name is Darth Butcher. He's just he's

1715
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 2: kind of funny. He's wearing like a dog nose and

1716
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 2: dog ears but then he's just he's having people donate

1717
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 2: to the ASPCA while he's standing right in front of

1718
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 2: the guy staring at his dog wearing a shock collar

1719
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 2: where the shock range is like two inches in every

1720
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 2: single directions that poor dog can move, basically be tortured

1721
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 2: day and day out for this grifter to make a

1722
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 2: few bucks. And it's ridiculous, and the Mets have said

1723
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 2: they can't do anything about it because that is city lands,

1724
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 2: but it's also just there. It's been since we were

1725
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 2: kids that this guy's been out there with I guess

1726
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 2: the series of dogs at this point, unless it's one

1727
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 2: really sad old dog, which just makes me want to cry.

1728
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 2: But it's it's the fact that this is being perpetuated

1729
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 2: for this long. It makes me sick. So if you

1730
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 2: guys aren't following along the New York Mets subreddit, Darth

1731
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 2: Butcher has been a couple posts this week to have

1732
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 2: tons of upposts, getting a lot of steam, and he's

1733
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 2: been he's been working trying to get one off the

1734
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 2: SPCA and just trying to bring attention to this issue

1735
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 2: that's been happening for a very long time.

1736
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Simply put, if there's anything that you can do. If

1737
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna take a picture with the dog, I would

1738
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: suggest against it, because again, that dog is working against

1739
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: its own will. It's it's it's being told to work,

1740
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: and it's generating money for this grifter and this asshole

1741
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: who's just punishing this dog for basically existing. Gets a

1742
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: dog a hug, give us some waterduce. If you're gonna

1743
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: go show it any sort of attention, don't make it

1744
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: monetary towards this guy, because I'm promising you it's not

1745
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: going towards that dog.

1746
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 2: No, it's just and it's been years, so I am

1747
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 2: happy that someone is taking a stand and it's just

1748
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 2: it's it's it's cruel, it's horrible.

1749
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 1: Fuck that guy. Fuck this series. Negativity gone. We're done.

1750
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: It's it. No more Mopi, Mark, no more mopey James,

1751
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: no more angry, no more sad. Play better baseball, and

1752
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 1: we get good podcasting back in good baseball. I'm excited

1753
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 1: for it. Guys. That's it for this episode of that

1754
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Mets Up podcast. Long one, very long, but we gotta

1755
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: get it out.

1756
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 2: We had to spew.

1757
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: It's like the episode Rick and Morty when you gotta

1758
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: get like the toxic version of yourself out. You just

1759
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta throw it out of there, and hopefully

1760
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: we did, hopefully open your eyes to some things. Fire

1761
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: job as whatever it is. I don't think he's going anywhere,

1762
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: but maybe he will. Who knows. Maybe I'll wake up

1763
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 1: in the morning and be very surprised.

1764
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe they'll Willie randolp him, fly him out,

1765
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 2: then fire him.

1766
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: That would be That's sad, all right. I got nothing

1767
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: to say to that, you know what I want to say.
