1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: How good are the New York Mets really? Me and

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: James are gonna talk about it. We're gonna go through

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: each kind of positional group and tell you where we

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: think they rank according to the rest of Major League Baseball.

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk lineup, rotation, bullpen. You even throw a

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: manager in there, James. We're gonna throw a manager in there.

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Why not the people? If you're listening to a podcast,

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: you'd love to hear manager talk. So before we get

15
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: do it. James will startripping. Where do you want to

16
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: go first?

17
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: I think we should go line up first. I think

18
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: this is this is the point this team where I think,

19
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: at least I have definitely the most excitement. I think

20
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: most people do. And I think that's because this Mets

21
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: lineup has a chance to be, if not the best

22
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: one of the three or four best in all of baseball.

23
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: And that's I'll stand out business for that one.

24
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, we did a video on the wind

25
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Up ranking every single team lineup and bullpen and rotation,

26
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: and the Mets were both very high for us here.

27
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: I think you had them Mets what as the second

28
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: best lineup and I had them at number three. And

29
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: I really do believe that again because in these scenario,

30
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: when you're ranking these teams going into the season, you're

31
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: picking all the right the best case scenarios. You're not

32
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: going like this that the other thing, worrying about injuries

33
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: right now or whatnot. But if you look at this

34
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: team from top to bottom, with Carson Bench now in

35
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: right field, knowing that Mike Talkman Torri's Meniscus, Carson Bench

36
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be on the opening day roster, Francisco Lindor,

37
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: Juan Soto, Bobaschet, Jorge Polanco, Luis Robert Brett, Baty, Marcus,

38
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Carson Bench, Francisco Alvarez. There's not an easy

39
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: out anywhere in that line. If there really isn't, the

40
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: easiest one might be Marcus Simeon, and even then he

41
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: still gives a good at.

42
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: Bat, and do you even kind of hope a guy

43
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: like Marcus Simion and there's relative bounce back and this

44
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: spring wouldn't wouldn't hint that that's really that strong of possibility.

45
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: But it's also about the strength at the top, like

46
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: that top three, it's going to be a bear first

47
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: opposing picture. And we've happy we've seen Francisco Indor get

48
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: into these spring games and be someone that looks like

49
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: he's he's had a few hard hit balls. He hasn't

50
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: had the big max ex lost in the area, but

51
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: just seems like he's a slow starter there anyway, So

52
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: that's going to happen. I think I think Bobachet's going

53
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: to be special, special as a hitter on the mess

54
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: this year. I don't know what they're basic going to

55
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: look like. I guess defensively we can pull that into

56
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: such a slightly separate conversation here. But he's going to

57
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: have so many at bats and men on base, it's

58
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: going to be impossible for pitchers to pitch him like

59
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: they've been able to kind of take advantage of his

60
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: free swinging nature in the past. I think with that

61
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: you could see the best offensive season Bobachet's ever had

62
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: With Wan.

63
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Soto getting on base as much as he does alone,

64
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: Bobaschetto was driving one hundred runs if he was healthy.

65
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: With Francisco and Wansto getting on base as much as

66
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: they do, we might be looking again if if you

67
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: can find this bet somewhere, I would love to see

68
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: what the odds are on Bobaschett leading the National League

69
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: or even just leading baseball in RBIs because he is

70
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: going to have so many guys on in front of him.

71
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: We know Bobaschett. One of the big differences between him

72
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: and Pete Alonzo, because this is relatively Pete Alonzo's spot.

73
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: One of the big differences that Bobochet is going to

74
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: put the ball in play a ton. He is going

75
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: to get more hits. And one of the biggest issues

76
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: last year, not pet A Lonzo's falt, but one of

77
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: the biggest issues with this team was driving in runners

78
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: from scoring in scoring position. Bobaschet does that really well.

79
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: Puts the ball in play a ton will hit the

80
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: ball to right field. We'll hit it where it's pitched.

81
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: And having won Soa and Lindor, who are both plus

82
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: base runners and get on base a ton It's it's

83
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: a match made in heaven. I love the construction of

84
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: this and then even Jorge Polanco behind him, he's been

85
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: swinging the bat so well this spring. I'm getting excited

86
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: about Horae Polanco at first base and Well, if we're

87
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna say there's a problem spot in this lineup and

88
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: serves just like what guys are going to do for

89
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: a full season, it is Polanco and Robert Well. I

90
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: think it's going to be the four and five for

91
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: there's an opening day, There's there's a wide range of outcomes.

92
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: But I'm feeling better and it really is. I just

93
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: I believe in what we're seeing out of Horey Polanco,

94
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: and he's been a good hitter for his entire career.

95
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Basically he is.

96
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: It's just about both of these guys, like how many

97
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: games are you playing? That's the issue, especially now with

98
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: the news of the Mike Talkman injury a Tormaniscus, which.

99
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: I feel I feel for Mike Talkman right now.

100
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: Dude, the spring that he had the way he was

101
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: going to get a legit role and got a contending

102
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: team like this. That sucks, but that leaves a little

103
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: bit more fear about outfield depth because there's just going

104
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: to probably Louis Robert Iileston there at some point. So

105
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: with that, now you you thrust Tyrone Taylor back into

106
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: an everyday spot, and then Carson Bench is now fully

107
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: has never day spot, which I think he is special

108
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: can starting opening day?

109
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: Oh definitely who else is gonna play this?

110
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: So I'm saying, I mean unless they interest through Tyron

111
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: Taylor there for the veteran this, but like it feels

112
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: like that's going to be the guy. So that's something

113
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: that I feel like the Mess might try to address

114
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: in between maybe us recording this and you guys listen

115
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: to it on Monday, trying to find a dfa outfield

116
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: or something there some guy didn't make a team, or

117
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: maybe that just becomes Ja and Melende's opportunity. But there

118
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: is that is the spot I'm the most worried about.

119
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: We're at the same time, I'm getting I'm getting really

120
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: way too optimistic about Louise Robert.

121
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I know it's it's it's the thing that we've always

122
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: been excited about with him, which is change of scenery,

123
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: get him around some dogs. It seems like him and

124
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Soda are attached at the hip. They don't leave each

125
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: other in Polanco Two's around everybody, He's everywhere all the time.

126
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: It seems like Louis Robert feels motivated for the first

127
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: time in a while to play some ball.

128
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: And again, maybe that is not a good thing. That

129
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: he wasn't motivated to play baseball, which not our problem,

130
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: not our problem, the other thing, and that we talked

131
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: about this add nauseum this offseason, even last trade, Dellen,

132
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: We're trying to convince you guys on pulling in Robert

133
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: from the White Sox. He's made incredibly important subtle changes

134
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: to his swing decisions over the last few years. When

135
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: he was thought about as very much a free swinger,

136
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: having pervasive swing and miss in the early parts of

137
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: his career, never drawing walks, as he's been less productive

138
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: at the plate on the surface level stats, the baseball

139
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: card stats, he's improved dramatically in those other things while

140
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: maintaining the bat speed, while maintaining the hard hit rate,

141
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: while maintaining the barrel rate. If he can just have

142
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: a season that is like what I perceive right now

143
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: as a fifteenth percentile outcome for him, which I would

144
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: say is like one hundred, twenty five games, twenty three

145
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: home runs, but I want to see a two point

146
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: fifty and.

147
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: A three to twenty in the batting average on base percentage.

148
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: If he does those and he's like a four win

149
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: player and he's our five hitter, I'm going I'm gonna

150
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: be walking around like New York City, like his shoulders back,

151
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: head high.

152
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like this.

153
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: I really think that's something that is not likely, not unlikely,

154
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: but like something that should be relative expectation.

155
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know that's my guy. He's

156
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: gonna be my first jersey I buy this year. I

157
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: can't wait to get a lou Bob jersey. He's just

158
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: he's so electric when he's playing at his best. And

159
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: right now we're starting to see signs that this could

160
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: be the best version of Luis Robert that we've seen

161
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: in a while.

162
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: And I think also something else he's going to bring,

163
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: which I do want to start bringing some defensive conversation.

164
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: If we talk about line, we'll talk about defense as

165
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 2: position players.

166
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: This is going to be.

167
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: By far the best defensive mets outfield, I think in

168
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: our lives almost.

169
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think like when even when Beltron was

170
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: running around center field, it wasn't good in the corners.

171
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: Cliff Floyd for couple of seasons.

172
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: We love Cliffloyd, but like I love that that point

173
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: of his career, defense was not a strong suit.

174
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: Cliff Floyd would tell you that he couldn't move well.

175
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: Like Sean Green was out there at one point. I

176
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: think they like at Jerpy Bernitz back out there at

177
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: one point, like there was five Yeah, yeah, there were

178
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: some times where the guys around the great centerfielder weren't

179
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: the strongest. It's got to be the best best outfield defense.

180
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: Although I guess that one year of Nimo Marte, who's

181
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: in right field for us. Why am I blanking? Is

182
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: Marcana was not a good defensive outfield. No, Marcana played

183
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: good outfield.

184
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: They played again, those were I think that was acceptable

185
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: outfield defense as a trio. But I think now that

186
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: it's going to be I think I mean looking like

187
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: the twenty eleven twenty twelve Mets teams, like there was

188
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: a little bit of time where Beltrom went to Wright

189
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: when he was still decent, when Pegan then Lagars was

190
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: out there, gonna.

191
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: Be able to get OAA numbers on them.

192
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: So oh no, but I'm stop trying to even go

193
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: like I'm literally saying, our lives, I can't remember going

194
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: into a season being like you have an elite lockdowns

195
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: defensive centerfielder. Anything anybody out there wants to say about

196
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: robertz consistency at the plate, strikeouts again, injuries and all that.

197
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: When he's on the field, it's gonna be great defensive

198
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: center fielder. Yes, starring Marte and Marcana were bang on average,

199
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. Yeah, even though we're like, wow,

200
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: the guys ravaged, that's awesome. They caught the baseball when

201
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: it was hit nice.

202
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: And but the thing that's going to elevate this outfield

203
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: defense dramatically is bench he made a nice catch in

204
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: the game on Sunday, like spring training tune ups here,

205
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: the ground that he's going to be able to cover

206
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: and the arm he's going to be able to uncork.

207
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: Can you imagine having three good arms in the outfield

208
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: something that we've never seen ever in our lives like

209
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: this is I think a lot of the Mets fans

210
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: are going to be like WHOA, Like you're gonna know

211
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: this a lot more good happening on the edges of

212
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: this team because of how good this team will defensively

213
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: be in the outfit, think about all the extra bases

214
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: that were taken last year and then how that extra

215
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: base came back to hurt the Mets, and that was

216
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: the one run or the part of the two run

217
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: rally that just you couldn't get anything done. And also

218
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: how we said like he couldn't really stop the bleeding

219
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: with rallies. A guy takes extra base, the pitcher gets

220
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: more stressed, like everything kind of compounds on one another.

221
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: Just having again mon Soldo is still I don't know

222
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen in left field one so though I'm

223
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: hoping it can't be as bad as last year, right,

224
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: he's gonna be great.

225
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: The goal glove Juan Soto gold glove full prediction.

226
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: If one solo can play twenty twenty two Starling Marte defense,

227
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's talk about that negative one OAA, I'd

228
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: kill If one solo has better than the negative two

229
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: OAA that they'll be a parade in the streets. Is

230
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: he gonna be a ten win player then possibly? Yeah,

231
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: But like that's just how having benj and Robert like

232
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: being the right and the center with the canyons of

233
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: all three of them, so has a good arm as well.

234
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: Like that's going to be an element of this team

235
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: that I'm ridiculously excited for. And I think that a

236
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: lot of Mets fans right now are are under selling.

237
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: Now that being said, our quarter defense could somehow find

238
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: a way to be just as bad as last year.

239
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: It's definitely possible. It's definitely possible.

240
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: But I mean, Pluck had some bad moments, the Springs

241
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: had some good moments.

242
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: Like he's doing the peat thing. He's a little too

243
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: aggressive getting to the ball, and I think that's the

244
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: natural shortstop instinct in him of get to every baseball

245
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: you can. But he's got it, He's gotta tone it

246
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: back a little bit.

247
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: He still looks like an infielder playing first. It's been

248
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 2: nice to see him throw the round the diamond a

249
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: few times. Like that's going to be a nice element. Again,

250
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: we haven't had this team for a while, and I

251
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: think Lindor is still going to be elite defensively. This

252
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: could be the last elite defensive Lindor season at shortstop.

253
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: So don't you say that you've been saying this for

254
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: a while. I have him the same for a while.

255
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: It's been just this offseason, just episodes.

256
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saying that everyone enjoyed the season of Lindor

257
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: defensively because there's not many he's thirty. There's gonna be

258
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: a thirty two year old season, thirty three year old shortstops.

259
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to find another one.

260
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: Here's why I'll tell you he's different one because he's

261
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: our he's our shortstopdor he's built different. That's one of

262
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: the best short stops to ever played the game. Too.

263
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: The shortstop position historically has been the worst position in baseball.

264
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: Like there have been ten good shortstops relatively speaking in

265
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: terms of like Hall of Fame players. So I do

266
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: think that a lot of the time, like the defensive stuff,

267
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: we can't really find it because they were just constantly

268
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: changing out shortstops for whoever is the first guy that's possible.

269
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: But again, now this era is the best players in

270
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: baseball by far. Trey Turner.

271
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tree turns out Legacy thirty two though he was

272
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: thirty one last year. I'm gon say, manager one year

273
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: off something like that. I think we've also gone through

274
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: a lot of this and not spoken yet about our

275
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: two our two sons, Francisco Alveras and Brett Baby gotta

276
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: love him. I'm disgustingly excited about Francisco Alivers this year.

277
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 2: The back thing the other day made me want to

278
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: like I could. We talked about it yesterday, but like

279
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: I freaked out. I was way too emotional about that.

280
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: But that the roof of your building, Yeah, I got me.

281
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: I mean too four walk up. I'm not that bad's

282
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: gonna happen. It's gonna break my ankle, But like it's

283
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: I think it's undersold about how much he went through

284
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: less season, like we all forgot because of how crazy

285
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: the end of the year got that he had the

286
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 2: broken handmaiden spring looked like dog shit for two months,

287
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: Triple A for a month, got the year of service

288
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: time back on him by bust the thumb, breaks the

289
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: picky on the rehab assignment, Like how in the world

290
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: do you do all that stuff?

291
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: And then he had finished with like a one twenty

292
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: WRC plus the end of the year to end the season.

293
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: The forty one games after he came back to Triple A,

294
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: and of course it was low Hereck Jerky because of

295
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: the injury, but that two seventy six, three sixty five

296
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: to sixty one with eight homers and forty games like

297
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: that was the ninth best WRS ninth thirty.

298
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: I just put his YouTube.

299
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: It was somewhere between the ninth and the fourteenth best

300
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: WRC plus and Baseball all players from June, I think

301
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: it was twenty first onward.

302
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: Extrapolate that over a season, which that's not how it works,

303
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it because this is me. It's

304
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: one of the best catchers in baseball, simply put.

305
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: I think offensively, I think he can be one of

306
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: the best catches in baseball. He had a great quote,

307
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: great quote to the Tacoma I think I told you

308
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: the day when we were just hanging out, but he

309
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: said to Tacomo right when he was coming back from

310
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: the thumb and then inadvertently the pinky. I don't have

311
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: time to think about it the injuries, so I just

312
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: keep going and think about playing and winning. Those are

313
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: the only two things going through my head right now,

314
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: so I don't have to think.

315
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: About the pain. That's all I want. I want no

316
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: thinking from Francisco off for as do baseball.

317
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: Hey, if you hit the age where everything feels a

318
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: little bit more difficult the Jim yes, but everything like

319
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: energy crashes in the afternoon.

320
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 4: You know you might have been reading about low T

321
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: and you see your doctor about it and they want

322
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: to give you basically shots every week for the rest

323
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: of your life. Oh cool, that sounds fun. And then

324
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: you dig deeper and you realize what you're signing up for,

325
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 4: and it's three grand a year to shut down your

326
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: body's natural production forever.

327
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: That is brutal.

328
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: Mars Men gives you the same benefits of optimized testosterone energy, strength, focus,

331
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: instead of shutting it down for.

332
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,600

Speaker 4: we sent you.

340
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: And just I think if he just does baseball like

341
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: it seems like it's been a very natural progression for

342
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: him as a catcher because it takes longer twenty four

343
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: years old, a few full seasons under his belt, like

344
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: it's going to be like just a very casual thirty

345
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: home run bat that could be in the middle.

346
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: Of this lineup. Where was cal Rally at this age?

347
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: I think he was getting to the major leagues, I believe, okay,

348
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: just getting there.

349
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: I think he might have debuted in the major leagues

350
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: at this age. Let's see, cal Rally was yep, debuted

351
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: in the majors at this age.

352
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: Twenty four years old to play forty seven major league

353
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: games his age twenty four season for SUS squad.

354
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: Vers might have been into contra.

355
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we spent a lot of time Tacoma. Fritz Squaver

356
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: has hopefully never spent time at Tacoma.

357
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: And then there are are are prodigal son Brett Baity.

358
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Oh he just might be fucking awesome. He might it

359
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: might have happened.

360
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: There's there's such a juxtaposition in the way that Brett

361
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: Bailey and Mark Fienzo's have handled themselves over the last

362
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: eighteen months. And this is not I don't want dump

363
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: on vanto's too much because we did that a lot. Yes,

364
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: and you guys really respond to that really good numbers

365
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: see two. But you guys like that, Yeah, shut out

366
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: you guys. But just he keeps getting his role reduced,

367
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: and he keeps just putting his head down and working.

368
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: All the guy does is grind and like he's going

369
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: to be such an important member of this team that

370
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: if you talk to fans of other teams, Yankee fans,

371
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: people in fantasy baseball circles, I don't think they'll realize

372
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: the relative importance that Brett Baty has.

373
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: Also, as is Brett.

374
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: Bay the annual tradition like hanging up to Jersey and

375
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: Saint Lucy as well as Syracuse. He torched spring training again,

376
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: playing all over the time. You want to play lefield,

377
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: we will play first base.

378
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

379
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to hit the baseball like he's awesome. He

380
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: looks comfortable at all the positions.

381
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: He looks completely fine all of them. My hot take is,

382
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see a little more first base

383
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: from him this year than we expected. I think he's

384
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna end up being there a bit, and even third

385
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: base a bit. And they're gonna give Polanco and Bashett

386
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: those days off, especially because the injury stuff with those guys.

387
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see who the designated hitter is an

388
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: opening day. I'm gonna say, so, we got Freddy Prault

389
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: to pitching. He's a flyball pitcher, right, yeah, A little bit.

390
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,119
Speaker 1: Mostly I'm go to say it's gonna be Brett Bady.

391
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: But it's going to be kind of funny to have

392
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: Brett Baidy as the dach opening day and then and

393
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: he's just blocking the positions that Brett Baty's probably better

394
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: best field are at two of the positions.

395
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna be hitting.

396
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: One of the best all around defensive players in this team,

397
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: and he's your design gonna hit the far cry from

398
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: where that doesn't get hit. This BET's team has been

399
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: also in years past, but it's just he's he's going

400
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: to be such glue for this team. And now again

401
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: with the Talkman injury, we're going to get some clarity

402
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: on the bench in the coming days. Carlson Doza keeps

403
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: smirking and like smiling people asking about Carson bench on

404
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: the opening day roster, but now bench spot is genuinely

405
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: open and because I mean probably like or do you

406
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: give this shot back to Melendez as a bat Like

407
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: it's I'm curious about where they go with it because

408
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: Taylor is a pinch runner. Is a pinch runner, is

409
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: not offering much with the stick, and like I think

410
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: Melendas and Jared Young both offer much more. Same with

411
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: the Mauricio but also like you just need him to

412
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: play baseball.

413
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: I think it's birthday. I think it was this weekend,

414
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: might have been. I'm unsure on Ronnie Marisio birthday.

415
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: April fourth, Big day, Big day for four four four

416
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: shout out Ronnie. But this is a it's going to

417
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: be interesting see if they take that last bench body again.

418
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be hot in the waiver wire.

419
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: As Slayer got cut. I can see the Mets loving

420
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: them some.

421
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: Austin Slater, Oh, if he gets to them. I will

422
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: guarantee it's four to fifty five when we recording this,

423
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I will guarantee that they get Austin Slater.

424
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and they've been very open effusive about the

425
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: fact that they want to pick up more guys going.

426
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: The end of this bencher. There's also a world too

427
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: that if they pick up Austin Slater. They might just

428
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: cut Mark Fiento's.

429
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think you still don't cut

430
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: Mark Fianto's. I think you'll let them get a little

431
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: bit more in season run.

432
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really even care whatever, just I just

433
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: better not fucking see him in the lineup, as much

434
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: as I think they might actually play him.

435
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: Bottom line, this is I think, at worst, even if

436
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: you are the most pessimistic Mets fan in the world,

437
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: this just should be a top seven lineup in baseball.

438
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna even be a little more friendly and

439
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: say it's at the absolute worst, top ten at worst,

440
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: and I think at the best it could be the best.

441
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: Line That's like, if things go wrong, it's the top

442
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: one up. And I think a very average outcome is

443
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: like the the're o their fourth. Yes, I think that's fair.

444
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: And that's why all the projection systems and all the

445
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: people around baseball that aren't Mets fans kind of love

446
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: the Mets this year, love the Mets.

447
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: I think I think a lot of this will be

448
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: about the bobashev one. So the pairing there two three

449
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: that especially for a picture like you go to ones,

450
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: so there like he's never going to swing and the

451
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: next guys like pop into the box swing and every

452
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: single thing.

453
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the hardest swing you've ever seen.

454
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: Oh there's first, the first, the first time we get

455
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: first and second over the out bobashev and be so happy.

456
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: Double steal, second and third? Come on, stop it, gut check.

457
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: How many so basic wan Soa has this year twenty five?

458
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: Do you think twenty five? Yeah? I don't think he's

459
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: gonna steal like crazy again. I think it's gonna be

460
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: like twenty five because here's gonna be my hot take.

461
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get thrown out a little bit more. Yeah, hey, chill,

462
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: they're gonna be like, actually, now, it's not productive to

463
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: the team.

464
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: Don't do that flipsid. How many stile and based Austin

465
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: Rally gonna have this year zero?

466
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: You think? Yeah, I don't know. How is he stealing?

467
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: In spring? He was and he's kind of fast. He's fast,

468
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: was kind of fast. What did he get fast? Always

469
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: been fast?

470
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: No, we're just talking about this because that's Antoine Richardson Braves.

471
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: Oh shit, I forgot about him. Oh then yeah, Austin

472
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: Riley he's quite fast. It's quite fast. He's actually gotten faster.

473
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: That's massive. My steel thirty bags? Oh man, Yeah, he's

474
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: gonna steal thirty bases, all right? He might, he really might.

475
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: That's gonna be fun thing to be fair. He is

476
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: stole seven in his career, so my zero call is

477
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: not insane. How many wants so steal? Before last year

478
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: one sorta was running a little bit, wasn't it? A

479
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: few here and there?

480
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: One sort of had seven in twenty twenty four, So

481
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: speed deem it. But that's gonna be fun thing to

482
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: watch how we run the bases compared to the last year,

483
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: and also how how the four, five, and six spots

484
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: develop in this lineup. So I think kind of anybody

485
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: after Bashett can kind of go into any of those spots.

486
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be who gets hot, who's in the flow,

487
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: who's on the mounds.

488
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: I can't I can't wait to watch this line We

489
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: should be mash and lefties, we should be mad that

490
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a big thing, big change this year.

491
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: I want to destroy lefties. I want lefties to ruin us.

492
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: No more soft tossters coming in and going six and

493
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: the third two runs against the Mets this year. It

494
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: will still happen. But that's good. It's always going to happen. Now,

495
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 1: as for the rotation, we do feel a little bit

496
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: less confident. I think you're more confident than me. I

497
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: had the Mets rowing as the fourteenth best rotation in baseball.

498
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember actly where you had them them eleven. Okay, yeah,

499
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: so we're in that same range. I think again, you're

500
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: probably doing the optimism here with the Mets, and I'm

501
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: doing more of the pessimistic realism. But I do again,

502
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: there's a weird calmness to me right now about this

503
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: Mets rotation, and that's again probably the kiss of death,

504
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: is me feeling calm about a rotation.

505
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: Ever, I do too, and I think that I have

506
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 2: a little bit more of this is gonna sound weird.

507
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: I have a little bit more confidence in the way

508
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: the Mets are going to handle this rotation compared to

509
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: last year, with how cutthroat they were with Sean and Iyah.

510
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: That's a dog moves, that's a baseball first move, and

511
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: I think that's something that a lot of people have

512
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 1: criticized David Stearns for in the past. I don't think

513
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: it's fair. I think it's wrong, but that is a

514
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: baseball first move. I don't care that you're making the

515
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: most money out of anybody in the starting rotation. You

516
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: are not one of the five best starters. You will

517
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: not be in the rotation.

518
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: No again, you probably will be one of the six

519
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: peck starters in a week and a half.

520
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: We need the six starters. So but maybe that's something

521
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: that happens.

522
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: But this is He had another quote too where he

523
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: said he sees himself as a starter the Anthony Dicomo

524
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 2: that came out after the episode yesterday.

525
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: So this it's just I'm curious about watching that storyline unfold.

526
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: Nevertheless, I really like Freddy pralter and Nolan McLain me too,

527
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: and I think as a two right there, and then

528
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: seeing Coode isanga the spring. If that's if you get

529
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: eighty percent of twenty twenty three code, I sanga, that's

530
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: a top three that like can turn this into a

531
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: top ten rotation in baseball.

532
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: It really is. Yeah. I mean the fact that we've

533
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: seen Freddy Peralta take a step forward last year and

534
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: hopefully he continues and just honestly be the same picture

535
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: as he was last year. I'd be quite happy Noel

536
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: McLain could could be on the precipice of becoming an ace,

537
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: and code I Sanga has shown ace potential, but he

538
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: doesn't even need to be that be one of the

539
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: best three reason all of Major League baseball, Like you said,

540
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden with Clay Holmes and David Peterson

541
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: being five, four or five steady Eddy at the back

542
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: of that rotation, five innings oatmeal sick incredible, and.

543
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: We're seeing Clay Holmes miss a few more bats this spring.

544
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 2: We're seeing him rework his repertoire bit. He's taking out

545
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: the forcing fastball, added more curveballs another year, comfortability with

546
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: the change up, like any slight little uptake he can

547
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: have in his strikeout rate this year, and if that

548
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: comes with slightly you were walks that can dramatically change

549
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: the picture he was. And I gave David Peuston's your

550
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: five last year. There were a time of the season

551
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: we were trying to make him are one. That's not

552
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: a star game, that's the game. It's gonna be very

553
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 2: funny thing. Looking back, it's gonna be a really good, macular.

554
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 1: Great thing in a few years yeah, All Star New

555
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: York Met twenty twenty. And the big reason why I

556
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: have a lot more confidence maybe than you do with

557
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: some others in this starting rotation is I think our

558
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: starting rotation depth, especially compared to last season, is light

559
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: years ahead. Tobias Myers, the spring was amazing.

560
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: Even if Sean and I can get his sea legs

561
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: under him, at any point he could be the six

562
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: or seven starter.

563
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: Like that's a massive thing. Give me a four to

564
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: two era Sean and I, I don't even need twenty

565
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: twenty four Shan Manya back, just innings and keeping us

566
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: in the game, and then seeing a healthy Christian Scott this.

567
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: Spring looks seeing him work splithers and change ups together,

568
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: seeing the lift still on those sliders and the explosive

569
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: this the fastball, like it still could be, Like it

570
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: still is going to be a bit of a work

571
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: in progress. There's still not still probably could be some

572
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: struggles against lefties. I'm not saying he's going to be

573
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: a front line guy, but as the guy to fill in,

574
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: that's unbelievable. And it's still not even considering Tongo. I

575
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: think the spring has been strange for him, just trying

576
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: to learn all those new pitches he does not know

577
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: where that cother is going very mixed results on it.

578
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: I think that it wouldn't be the worst thing for

579
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: him to spend two or three months in Triple A

580
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: without even anyone talking about necessarily needing him.

581
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm super cool with not hearing, honestly anything about joanah

582
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Tong for a couple of months, not because I'm tired

583
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: of him. I just I want him to work on

584
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 1: his stuff, make that pitch better. We'll see you in

585
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: hopefully July or August. And I also say this as

586
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: Mets fans might get a little bit nervous early in

587
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: the season. Brandons purt is going to be good in

588
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: the Brewers, Yes, telling right now is going to be good.

589
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: He made their opening, their rotation. They taught him a

590
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: new color. It looks like it's really going to tie

591
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: his repertoire together. Well, it's going to be good. Freddy

592
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: Pearl's also going to be very very good, So so

593
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: Wismyer is going to be good.

594
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Joe Williams also going to be good. Square ass deal. Yeah,

595
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: there was the way that baseball works. Now you can't

596
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: kind of just pull the wool over the eyes and

597
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: especially when you're making a trade with a smart organization.

598
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen now.

599
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: And again, like a lot, maybe also a thing people

600
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: are thinking about right now.

601
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it's even resolved by the time this. You guys

602
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: listen to this, the Freddie Perlita extension. Watch, Yeah, I

603
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: hope happens me too. Feels like it might not, feels

604
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 1: like it might not, feels like it could happen at

605
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: any moment. I don't know. It's it's one of those

606
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: things where I'm not as invested as it because there's

607
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: a certain picture that's a free agent at the end

608
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: of this year that I'm a little more interested in obviously,

609
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: But have him both. Why not? If Freddy signs the extension, great,

610
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm happy. If he doesn't, we can sign him in

611
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: the off season. Live in the moment, Mets fans, seize

612
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: the day. You got Freddy pearlt right now? Opening Day?

613
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: You got Freddy Pearl to seize the day? In Latin?

614
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: Isn't on the coin? Yeah? It was in the What's

615
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: the Robin Williams movie? Is that e pluris unhim? No?

616
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: What is that? I don't know? Seize the day? What

617
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: is that.

618
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you plurbis unim. I think it's something

619
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: about like something about the unions.

620
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, did you not take Latin in high school?

621
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: I feel like you tell no carbet. Yeah, that's definitely it.

622
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: I gotta look with the un two seconds, guys, give us,

623
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: give us a chance.

624
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: Here, one of many. It's a collective, all right, Met's

625
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: collect rotation. They call them Marx draft neck marks.

626
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go.

627
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 2: But again, I think this Mets rotation is at worst.

628
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: I think it's an average rotation in baseball. And I

629
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: think there's enough healing on of depth and quality to

630
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 2: the top and suddenly quality in the middle of this.

631
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 2: So I think kind of easily be could say the

632
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: top ten rotation.

633
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: Here's why I'll back you up. They were what like

634
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: fifteenth or seventeenth last year and almost Savody pitched. Well, yeah,

635
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: it was horrible. They sucked. Think about it. It went

636
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: as bad as it could have and they were in

637
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: middle of the pack rotation. So if things go right, yeah,

638
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: top ten.

639
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: Why not last year all starting pitchers on the Mets

640
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: had I wound up in the eighteenth high best lowest,

641
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: eighteenth lowest dra.

642
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: And shout out Clay Holmes really keeping that down thankfully. Yeah,

643
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: it was America.

644
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 2: And again that was as bad as basically could have gotten.

645
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: That was like our floor. So I think this year

646
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: again the floor is probably more like fifteen. I think

647
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: the ceiling could be like five or six.

648
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 4: Hey, it might be time to have a heart to

649
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 4: heart with your phone and be like, I love you,

650
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 4: but you cost too much.

651
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not paying this much anymore. That's it. I mean,

652
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: why would I go more than fifteen dollars a month.

653
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: Mintmobile can give that to me and I get all

656

Speaker 4: crazy bogus fees or free perks that actually end up

657

668
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about that last position group there, James.

669
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: The bullpen, this serious one, This is the scariest one.

670
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: I think this is also where we have our biggest disagreement.

671
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: I had the Mets at sixteen on our rankings. Where

672
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: did you have them?

673
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 2: I had them also eleven, which is funny looking at

674
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: the back at them. But I think that I think

675
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: I had. I think a lot of teams bullpens get

676
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: very flat after the first eight, which I think are

677
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: very good, which is just quickly the Red Sox, the Yankees,

678
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: of Dodgers, Marriagers, Brewers, Phillyes Padres. I think then between

679
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: like the Tigers, the Mets, the Blue Jays, the Braves,

680
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: my White Sox, your Cubs, the Reds. Like, there's a

681
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: lot of bullpens that are kind of mishmoshed in the

682
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: middle that you could I can hear an argument in

683
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: any direction.

684
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the reason I have a little more

685
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: hesitancy is just I want to see Luke Williams, Luke Williams,

686
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver and Devin Williams do it a little bit.

687
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: Just just need to see them get back to their

688
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: old form before I just hand it to them. Because

689
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, let's be honest, I know behind the

690
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: scenes it looked a little bit better, but we do

691
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: care about the numbers on the page, and they were

692
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: a disaster at points in twenty twenty five. The other

693
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: thing that makes me scared, but also this is a

694
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: positive because of the depth behind these guys. I do

695
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: get worried about having three of the main stays in

696
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: this bullpen be thirty turning thirty eight this year, thirty

697
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: nine and Watscar Brosbond, who I think will be thirty

698
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: seven by the end of the year. Those things scare me.

699
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: Young arm though, young arm young arm My, Watscott young, young,

700
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: pitching age, actual old bones, and that's what I'm more

701
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: scared about now for sure, I think that looked great

702
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: by the way in the WBC looked.

703
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 2: If he's in the strike zone, he's awesome. And this

704
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 2: is this is also maybe us doing a little bit

705
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: of a bet on Justin Willard, where same with the

706
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 2: rotation talk like we love Jeremy after I think he's

707
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 2: going to be a great pitching coach for the Braves,

708
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: but sometimes getting a new voice is helpful, and Justin

709
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 2: Willard comes highly recommended. He's going to be very, very

710
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: very aligned with Eric Jaegers the top of this team

711
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: pitching staff. I love Dan McKinney in this bullpen, not

712
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 2: as as more so for the starters than the relievers,

713
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: because he's been with these guys through the mud in

714
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: the minor leagues.

715
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: Is that the Ohio State guy or no, that's a

716
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: different guy.

717
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: Now that's Brett Goldberg. He went up going to a

718
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: different I think we interviewed him though. Yeah, he's interacted

719
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: on to a guy nice, But this bullpen, I'm also

720
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: I think definite.

721
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: Willam's gonna walk up and be a lead closer. Hope

722
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: you're right.

723
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: Know what I'm curious for because we know, we know

724
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: it's going to happen. What's his song going to be?

725
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Oh man, does he have one? Can I say something crazy?

726
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

727
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: Bring back the trumpets, stock, bring them back. People will

728
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: lose their minds. Take them from Edwin Diaz. Edwin Diaz again.

729
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: When he gets to the stadium, Clap, clap, show him

730
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: on the screen. Clap as Susie comes in the game,

731
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: if they play the fucking trumpets. When Edwin Daz comes

732
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: into the game this year, I will lose my goddamn mind.

733
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: I'll freak out. But we should be like wild wild beasts,

734
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: seething at the mouth, trying to get not do because

735
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: we know it can happen. Say say fuck you, Edwin Diaz.

736
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm taking the trumpets now. That'd be sick. That'd be sick.

737
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: I hate that idea so much. I don't want I

738
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: don't like that at all. I think that might jack

739
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: up Devin Williams too much. But I think Devin Williams

740
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: is pitching the chip on his shoulder this year, and

741
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: I think everyone, I think a lot of people are

742
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: aware that under the hood, it was just as good

743
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: last year.

744
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,239
Speaker 2: This, to me very much, just feels like going from

745
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen Edwin Das to twenty twenty edd DS.

746
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: We have walk up songs on the on the Mets

747
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: website already. Really, oh man, you're ready for this? Yeah? Okay,

754
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,040

Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. Same thing with Jorge Polanco, Nouka

Speaker 2: We got Mark Fantos coming up to a lot of music.

766
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,520

Speaker 1: His has His. I was about to call that out.

774
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: Interesting great song Hold the Line by Toto. This has

775
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: now become I think.

776
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: Green Orf is on the He's on the forth the

777
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: Man Roster Richard Dicky Lovelady will be lunatic fringe. I

778
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: guess he's an High A State fan. Francis Guava is

779
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: coming up to El Alpha.

780
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: Love to see that. We did get to see enough

781
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: a J. Minter last year. I don't remember if this

782
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: was a song halftime by the Ying Yang Twins. I

783
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: think I would know if the Yan Yang Twins were

784
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: his walk out? Was that song on NFL Street too?

785
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: I think so? Is that not like the is that Stone?

786
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: It feels like it was Motley post Malone for David Peterson.

787
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: Good Good, Good, Walk Up Grew White Horse by Chris Stapleton.

788
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: Nice songs here. I like this Good Brett, Baby Luther

789
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: and Glory Days. That's a hilarious mix.

790
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: And Princess Squavras of course to come out that Alpha

791
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah Okay, Devin Williams Key Glock from Nothing I'm In

792
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm Back was Luke Weaver r on here. Luke Weaver

793
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have a song picked yet. I think one to

794
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: find what he had last year if you can't. Yeah,

795
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: why do I feel like? He came out to like

796
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: Dreams by by Fleetwood Mac because the dream Weaver I

797
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: like that. Oh, I like that. That would be that.

798
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: You can take that, Luke, if you'd like.

799
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: That's a nice one two punch to go from Fleetwood

800
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: Mac to key Clock.

801
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: Yes. Oh, he comes out to the Darth Vader theme,

802
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: Kill that kill that you can't come. You can't be

803
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: like the eighth Inning guy coming out though Bump Bump,

804
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: But the Yankees do all the Star Wars stuff that

805
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: kind of that probably played more so there, But that

806
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: sounds like like one of my playlists on shuffle, like

807
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: Fleetwood Mack and key Clock like I would like I

808
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: would like to see that. Apparently comes out to dream

809
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: Weavers since twenty twenty four by Gary Wright. I don't

810
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: know who that is. It's sick.

811
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: We got some got some walk up song talking here.

812
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: I also hete We're We're just maybe it's just us

813
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: we're way too in on the Mets death relievers.

814
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: Oh, don't even get me started about friend of the podcast,

815
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Lambert. Don't even get me started on what we

816
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: see from Dylan Ross. Stuff. Just I like chaos stuff guys,

817
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: and those are two of the best that you can have.

818
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: Right now, I think that that's something that we're going

819
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: to have to lean into. We've also seen Jonathan pan

820
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: Taro in two winning stints this spring. I'm not sure

821
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: if he will be a star of the reliever with

822
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: the Triple A team, but he's going to be in

823
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: some kind of role there and I think he has

824
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: somewhat exciting stuff. Robert Stock got hurt. That was a

825
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: shame because stuff was really playing up. We also, I mean,

826
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: we don't have either word yet still on the last

827
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: reliever either.

828
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: Craig Kimberl's not making it, though we have that.

829
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: He's staying an extend to spring training. We also like

830
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: Albert Alzeli. The stuff didn't pop so much through the spring,

831
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: but like I think a guy like him that could

832
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: come out a little bit slower. It's probably mental hurtless

833
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: he has to get over as well as coming back from

834
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: this crazy injury. I really right now, I think I'm

835
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: thinking of a much rosier glove of this bullpen then

836
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: maybe a lot of others do.

837
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: But I think there's another bullpen where like, at worst,

838
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: I think it's league average. I think the fact that

839
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: we now have some arms that aren't like just nothing

840
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: guys waiting in the wings is fun. We also know

841
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: that David Stewart's his favorite thing to say is this

842
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: bullpen at the beginning of the year will not be

843
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: what this bullpen is at the All Star break, will

844
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: not be what this bullpen is at the end of

845
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: the year. So if guys aren't working out, guys are

846
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt, guys aren't being used, They're gonna find

847
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: a way to get different guys in there. And we

848
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: do know that he does look for those stuffed demons

849
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: when he hits the waiver wire. And also we know

850
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: that when Tobias Myers last.

851
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: Year was unleashed as a reliever, he was devastatingly good. Yes,

852
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: And I think from that fastball to shape he has

853
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: on it when that can play up because like usually

854
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: as a starter who was sitting like ninety two ninety three,

855
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: that coul play up to ninety four ninety.

856
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: Five, which it has in the past.

857
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 2: When he's pitching relief, Like there's there's a lot of

858
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: helium I think on him, and I just the only thing.

859
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: The thing I'm most concerned about is bullpen. Truthfully, is

860
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: aj Minter. Yeah, I would love to see him back

861
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: because if he's back, like him and Luke Weaver is

862
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: a wicked setup duo, be fantastic. And if I'm anticipating

863
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: Devin Williams the shut down closer, which I will be

864
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: steadfast abound to unproven otherwise, that right there, like as

865
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: a real three headed monster with Brooks, Railey, and Luis

866
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: Garcia as righty lefty guys and as middle relief, Brazsubon

867
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: and Myers as middle relief guys as well. Like suddenly

868
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 2: like I'm like, damn, I really I think I might

869
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: be the high man this mess bullpen from every Mets

870
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: fan right now. But I'm just confident, definitely, especially and.

871
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: Of course we are stuff guys. That's what we want,

872
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: we want, we want the crazy fastball velo. I looked

873
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: on Baseball Savant, so the Mets had it. Looks like

874
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty two pitchers this spring throw a fastball

875
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: ninety six or harder, just a random number on picking.

876
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: Ryan Lambert sixty five percent of his fastballs this year,

877
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: we're over ninety six piles an hour. That's so sick.

878
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: But even like some of the Alex Correo throws ninety

879
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: six consistently, Anderson Sevarino, who's another depth guy left side,

880
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: throws ninety six consistently. There are some fun arms there.

881
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: Even your guy Mike Bowman throw a ninety six right now,

882
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: like he's gotten some juice to him. Christian Scott out

883
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: of the bullpen could be a demon. He could be

884
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: so sick this year out of the bullpen if that's

885
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: where they want to go. Even Luis Garcia, the old man,

886
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: will touch ninety six occasionally. Like no throws harder than

887
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: ninety six this spring. I guess he's been lesser at

888
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: that ninety six range. He only has two of his

889
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: fifty five fastball or two of his pitches this year

890
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: over ninety six.

891
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: I thought last year he's sad about still for them.

892
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: Maybe that's a spring train thing for him.

893
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: At the end of the day seven last year we

894
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: got Velo, and Velo is hard to hit, and that's

895
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: what we want. We're hunting Velo. Vilo covers up mistake

896
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: that covers up things that could have gone wrong. And

897
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: I also throw one hundred down the middle, it's gonna

898
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: be harder to hit the ninety five down the middle.

899
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 2: Like even sneakier guys there down there, like we saw

900
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 2: Jordan Gieber Geeber Gerber Gerber, I just saw him, saw

901
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: him in the World Baseball Classic. He flashed at times,

902
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: like Carl Edwards going to the starters. I guess actually

903
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: not came off this list yet. Joey Gerber, Brian Hudson

904
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: out a very bad spring. I think he might not

905
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 2: make this team. And Austin Warren has a fun sweeper

906
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: like there's Daniel Duartze is also flashed a little bit

907
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: at times because I got Nate Lavender, big extension lefty,

908
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: like there's Nick Burley, weirdly, weird and funky. I don't

909
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: know if that Velasi's ever coming back though, And also

910
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: like maybe just where the starting pitching depth is. I'm

911
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: curious about how the role opens up season for guy

912
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: like Felipe de la Cruz, who's a funky extension lefty

913
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: with a fastball and slider, like I wonder if he's

914
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: someone that because the tripleing rotations low key stacked.

915
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: Right now, it's loaded, lo key loaded.

916
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: Get out to saaras guys, go see a game, even

917
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: double hold. Will Watson get into a spring training game?

918
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: Again?

919
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: We mentioned his stuff played down but looked like he

920
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: was kind of just taking it easy. Like him and

921
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 2: Santucci and Zach Thorton, I think are going to all

922
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 2: open up in that double A rotation. Like that's a

923
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: crew over there too. Like I'm ridiculously excited. I think

924
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: Alvin Siegler actually might be healthy. Put him in the bullpen.

925
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 2: Put him in the bullpen too.

926
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,160
